Cutthroat grinned as he aimed his weapon at Ethan. “Say your last prayers, now!”Letting out a sigh, Ethan intoned. “O great deities watching me right now, please watch as I dish out some ass-whooping to fools.”Before Cutthroat could figure out what he meant, Ethan disappeared with the aid of [Hyper Motility] before appearing next to him and slapping the gang leader aside with one hand.The others, shocked by the sudden attack, didn't hesitate to unleash their weapons but unfortunately for them, they were a tad bit slow.Ethan beat them down without mercy, ensuring that each one would never forget him till the day they died.By the time he was done, Cutthroat was the only one still conscious, his eyes wide with terror as he couldn't understand how he managed to lose despite having the upper hand.Ethan turned to face him and he immediately went rigid.“Where's that zest from earlier?... I'm still waiting for you to punch holes in me.” Ethan ridiculed as he approached Cutthroat with t

When Yama woke up, he realized that he was in chains and on his knees.Struggling to break free, a voice cut in at that moment.“Don't waste your breath, those chains are an artifact specifically used to hold down Apostles like you.”Yama glanced ahead to find Ethan seated on his throne.“You…” he glared at him icily but Ethan was unmoved as he replied.“Look down.” Yama didn't know why but he didn't dare to keep staring at Ethan so, he looked away.“What did you do to me?”Ignoring the question, Ethan intoned. “From now on, you shall heed my commands and any attempts to go against me shall end badly for you, do you understand?”“I heed no man!” Yama bellowed only for a frightening force to come down on him and send him crashing to the ground.Just then, Ethan whispered into his ears. “Do not test me.”Yama trembled as he realized that he was severely outmatched.“Spare me.” Yama pleaded.Ethan snorted as under normal circumstances, he would have ended Yama's life instantly but the m

Nora was one of those in the Beggars sect who was called a professional scammer.She was in the service of a certain Beggar Lord and was tasked with putting newcomers into situations that forced them to cough up money.This was referred to as corporate stealing and was a known way of making money among beggars.No one outrightly said anything about it and in a sense, all beggars were in on it.If one fell for it, that would be on them and no one would care, taking it as a fair game.Naturally, so far, no one had ever been lucky enough to find themselves in a corporate begging situation and leave without paying a dime.In any case, Nora was considered one of the best due to her unique way of getting the unsuspecting newcomers to pay up. She didn't outrightly steal but instead carried out an 'accident' while holding what looked like an expensive pot.Once the pot would get broken, she would claim the unsuspecting stranger a thief and demand a fee for ruining what she had bought.A simp

"What did you just say?" The guard inquired."Do I have to repeat myself?" Ethan inquired in a similar tone to how the guard had first addressed them, causing the guard to go silent with a furious look on his face.Timothy grew furious as he yelled. "Didn't you hear what I said?... The VIP ticket is worth 100 million!... Have you ever seen that amount in your life talk more of being able to spend it?"Ethan didn't even deem it necessary to offer a response as his eyes remained on the guard."I'm waiting."'Damn it, fine!...if you want to embarrass yourself, I'll help you do so!'The guard grumbled inwardly as he quickly rushed to get the beggar who was in charge of giving tickets."You said you wish to purchase a VIP ticket?" The beggar asked.Ethan nodded in response."Then, please take out your card."Ethan calmly did so at which point Timothy caught sight of the black and gold stripes causing him to go wide-eyed.'There's no way that was a Blackgold card, right?’The beggar in char

“Stay behind me,” Ethan remarked with Anna nodding.Julio grinned as he intoned. “Decided to give up and die?”“Not yet,” Ethan replied. “Just weighing my options.”“Who said you had options?” Julio snorted in response with Ethan flashing a smirk.“Me.”Then, he rushed forward with [Hyper Motility].Julio reacted instantly, taking out an artifact and activating it.The artifact turned into a net and shot toward Ethan but he was quick enough to react, utilizing his heroic attribute to upgrade his luck.He dodged the net, catching Julio off guard.“Take him down!” Julio commanded the two beggars with him.The beggars obliged and took a few steps forward.“You sure you want to do this?” Ethan inquired. “Might get very ugly.” The first beggar snorted a response. “You dared to come here, don't think about leaving alive.”Then he charged at Ethan, his body glowing though Ethan sensed no Apostolic aura from him.'Another form of power?’ He wondered as he reached out and grabbed the beggar b
