“Master! The spies that were sent have returned with words that they've moved out of Mr. Harry's mansion!” A hefty man rushed into the house, bowing his head before a masked man who was playing chess alone at the table.A sneer curled up on his lips as he was satisfied with the information he had just received from one of his men. He had sent men to trail Ethan, and he'd do just anything to make sure that he'd end Ethan's life.“That's good...” he emitted, his voice carrying a sense of anger and deceit as he focused on the chess game.“What are we going to do next, Master? We are waiting for your response and order!”“Where are they now?” The masked man asked, and with a bow, his servant responded to him.“They are at the bridge, sir!”“That's good then. Once they cross the bridge, attack, and remember, do not leave any of them breathing!” He gave his command, making his servant snap his gaze to him with his eyes bulging out.“Is there a problem?” He paused his chess game as he lifted

Ethan stood firm, eyes blazing with determination as a swarm of men charged toward him. His breath came in ragged gasps, but his resolve only grew stronger. He believed with every fibre of his being that he could defeat them all, leaving none standing.He smirked, remembering the moment of victory when he had forced Mr. Han to kneel and beg for mercy. "Even if I die today," he muttered to himself, "I'll die happy knowing I made him beg.""Get him! Don't let him escape!" their leader barked, and the men surged forward, intent on capturing Ethan. They had no intention of letting him go; their loyalty to their leader was absolute.As they closed in, Ethan sprang into action. With lightning speed, he grabbed each man by the neck and smashed them to the ground. His movements were a blur, a testament to his newfound agility. He had never fought with such intensity before, each blow fueled by a deep-seated need to survive."Arrrggghhh!" they roared, charging at him with ferocity. But Ethan

“No, Ethan, I should be blamed for this, for everything that is happening! My mother is dying, and my father is in this state. I shouldn't have let him go alone… I just shouldn't have!” James mumbled softly, his heart bleeding and racing with fear of what might happen next to him or his father.At first, he was scared of losing his mother, but as it stood now, it was obvious that his father could die before his mother, which would break him down immediately.“No, James… don't say that, don't blame yourself for anything. I was there, and I couldn't save him from those men. I should be killed myself!” Ethan walked over to where James was seated and with a heavy sigh leaving his lips, he placed his hand right on James' shoulder, feeling bad for him, feeling bad for everything that had happened.“You don't get it, Ethan… if only I was…” He was going to keep talking, but at that moment, Ethan was sick and tired of hearing James cry like he was some little kid.“I promise to find out who at

“There must be a change of assistant! He isn't functioning as he should, Sir Ethan, and there must be a change!” One of the executives declared, making Ethan's brows furrow immediately as he stared at the man who had spewed such nonsense from his mouth.They would have just discussed something else. Something that didn't have to involve Ethan changing his assistant. Something that shouldn't have to do with Ethan changing James.James was the main reason why Ethan had escaped death for the first time. James was his best friend and more like family. James, above all, was the only one that he could trust, and as it stood right now, there was definitely no way he was going to push him aside and pick up some new stranger that he knew nothing about.“I am not changing my assistant, and that is final! He stays with me, and that is the end of it all!” Ethan stood his ground.He couldn't believe that Mr. Han had come to the company just to do one thing: discuss changing his assistant.Mr. Han

“I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I want to go through the dangers to find anyone!” James admitted, and without a second thought, he climbed out of the car. He was just scared, and he hoped that Ethan would understand that.He wanted Ethan to look at his own aspect of life. How uncomfortable it was going to make him. Just as he was walking back into his house, Ethan stormed out of the car and rushed towards him.He just wasn't going to let James leave that way. He needed James. He needed him to do what was right.“What is it again, Ethan?” James grumbled as he found Ethan standing right before him.“Let's make a comeback, James… please! We must find out who did this to me, who did this to your father!” Ethan let out, knowing that it would provoke James at this moment.He was already angry that his father was weak, so it was definitely going to give him the anger he needed to accept the deal with Ethan.“And what if the plan doesn't work out? What if they come to me!” James sounded a bit wo
