"What is he blabbing about? Who went to prison for murder, him or Principal Coleman?""I didn't want to say this before because I feared I'd be wrong, but my cousin who worked in a female prison as a correction officer once saw Principal Coleman and said she looked like an inmate he used to know. I dismissed it back then because Principal Coleman didn't seem like someone who'd commit a crime heavy enough to be sent to a correction prison.""So you're trying to say we've been socializing and doing things with an ex-convict for years? A murderer for that matter? This has to be the most scariest thing I've heard in a while now!""If you heard something like that why didn't you just drop it as anonymous in the school's website? Do you know how badly my skin is crawling right now just thinking of how she has held me with those hands she used in cutting someone's skull open?!""Don't raise your voice at me, okay? I didn't know it back then because Principal Coleman seems too kind to kill so

Chloe patiently listened to him talk about how his family had refused to lend him money for his mother's treatment, but shamelessly came to claim her body from the hospital where she died.He had grabbed a mop stick with a sharp edge and threatened to kill them with it if they came any closer to his mother. He hurled insults at them before chasing them away from the hospital.Right before they left, they cut all ties with him, officially leaving him to fend for his life as an orphan.Both his mother's family and his father's family cut all ties with him."So on the day I buried my mother, I vowed to make each and everyone of them pay for letting her die when it wouldn't have cost them anything to save her life," Ethan concluded his reminiscing, staring into the empty space.Chloe understood he was having a moment, so she refrained from saying anything for the meantime until they were about to leave.As she buckled her seatbelt, she turned to him and smiled lightly, "I understand it wh

Paul found the man's suggestion about Ethan calling Kane to help him good. Now that he thought of it, that imbecile with Ethan had also intimidated him that day.Moreover, he didn't want to risk someone coming after the Michigan family in the future to avenge Ethan's death.So he exhaled loudly and leaned towards the table."Your suggestion doesn't sound too bad. The more, the merrier. Plus, it'll be fun watching the expression on this loser's face when I kill that sidekick of his."The man in front of Ethan slipped his hands into his pockets and snorted into his face."Mr. Michigan always knows the best way to make an example of people. So you better be grateful he's extending your lifespan by a few minutes.""Now take out your phone and call this friend of yours. Be fast about it because I can't afford to let you live any longer than Mr. Michigan wants you to."Ethan maintained the stoic look on his face as he stared back at the thug with drooping eyes. He appeared as though he hear

Ethan pressed the thug's face to the ground, leaving him no space to do anything besides look at the things in front of him."Let go of me! Let go of me! You must be tired of living!" The thug kept screaming, desperately wriggling his body to escape Ethan, all to no avail.Ethan's leg on him was way more painful than he thought it would be. He could even feel the man's weight crushing his skull.Seeing Ethan didn't seem like he would let go anytime soon, the thug could only turn to Paul Michigan helplessly."Mr. Michigan, please help me!" The thug's mouth was pressing against the floor, hence his words were barely audible.However, Paul Michigan was standing close enough to hear him, but he didn't bother despite hearing the man call for help. The thug was just a means to an end anyway.Now that he knew Daniel Voltia's right-hand man was on his way, Paul was now back to being arrogant.The accuracy and casual display of strength Ethan had used when he swatted back the muscular men and

The thug failed to notice the underlying fear in Jonathan's tone, the thug limped forward and nodded his head repeatedly in agreement."That's right. It's Ethan Black, Chloe William's loser husband who disappeared a few days after getting married to her and still returned as a loser six years later!""This scumbag doesn't know his limit. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he spent a few years in the army.""Today, we'll make him understand that this is Springdale. And Springdale is a town where only the rich and powerful live!"The manager of the pub, whom Ethan had just released his grip on her wrist, snorted loudly, wiping away the tears falling down her eyes as she rushed to Jonathan and hid behind him."He stayed in the army for six years? No wonder he has such a strong grip! Mr. Warrick, please teach this bastard a lesson!"Paul hissed from where he sat, lowering his eyes to his nails to remove the nonexistent dirt from them."Even the head of the William family h
