Ethan wasn't completely convinced that the Emperor was happy to learn that his son was defeated by a commoner and even imprisoned as well.If anything, he should be offended but that was not the case.Ethan guessed that this was merely the representative’s way of getting on his good side which meant that this was only the beginning.“Since you are here, I'm guessing you wish to discuss something with me.”“That is indeed correct, young master Ethan. Perhaps we might speak in a more private setting.” As he spoke, the representative sent subtle glances Aaron's way, signaling that he hoped for his exit.Unfortunately, Ethan was not about to agree to that as he replied. “Aaron is not leaving. He is family and I do not hide things from family. So it would be best you speak now or forever hold your piece.”“I see.” The representative coughed awkwardly. “Well then, I guess there's no helping it then.”Taking a deep breath, he began. “I am Obadiah, sent here by the Emperor to discuss terms fo

Lyra could hardly believe her eyes as she watched as her uncle’s injuries healed and life returned to his eyes in real-time, allowing him to return to the land of the living.“Uncle,” Lyra muttered with tears in her eyes.Obadiah sighed. “You really won't let this old man rest.”“Uncle!” Lyra exclaimed as she reached down and hugged Obadiah, causing the old man to yelp in pain as he muttered.“Please stop, you are crushing me.” “Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.” She remarked as she quickly regained her composure, of course, not without giggling like a little child.Obadiah let out a resigned sigh as he shifted his attention to Ethan.“What deity do you serve that is capable of bringing a dead person back to life?”Ethan managed a smile as he replied. “The Medicine god.”“I see. A divine skill capable of bringing someone back from the jaws of death. I am frightened to even consider what you must have put in to gain it.”Ethan didn't have the heart to say that it was not exactly difficult to

Once Ethan had sent his message to the Assassins Guild through the head of the kidnappers, he knew his next target was the Salvatore family but the issue was that they were not based on Metro City.Ethan could only utilize the [Search] function to find things in the city he was in.If the person was not in the same city, then the function was rendered obsolete and since the Salvatores were considered the biggest dogs in the underworld, getting information on their current whereabouts would be quite difficult. Pursing his lips, he decided to get Poltergeist's help on the matter.“I was expecting your call, that's if you didn't die.”“You knew I wouldn't die?”“I had a hunch, you have a track record of succeeding against impossible odds.”“Are you alright?... I know the curse is gone now but it should have affected you, right?”“Can't be sure but I didn't dare to step out of my room or do anything after you'd told me about it.”“Smart.”“What do you expect?”Chuckling, Ethan inquired.

Everything was set to ensure that Ethan lost yet, he somehow managed to clinch the lead and maintain it.Elijah couldn't wrap his head around how this was possible in the first place causing him to grow even more perplexed as time went on. Finally, the race ended, and naturally, Ethan came out on top, crossing the finish line a minute before Elijah.He stepped out of the car and looked up to find stiff expressions on the faces of the Salvatore head and his wife.Grinning inwardly, Ethan didn't attempt to say anything yet as Elijah jumped out of his car, bellowing. “How did you do that!... You cheated, didn't you!”“How can I cheat using the car you gave me?” Ethan calmly inquired causing Elijah to grow silent.Smirking, Ethan intoned. “I believe it's time to make do with our agreement.”“Did you think that I'd let you go scot-free just like that?... You killed my son!” “Is that so?” Ethan inquired with a raised brow.Elijah snorted. “Now you have two options: you can either serve my

“What?” Elisa couldn't quite grasp his question, at least until Ethan passed by her and crouched down before the corpse of the seventh prince.It still retained a bit of life, no doubt a result of the young man's special constitution.Seeing Ethan's back exposed, Elisa had the urge to attack but having watched Ethan dispatch the butler in a single move, she knew her case would be no different and could even be worse, so she held back.Instead, watching as Ethan traced a palm over the seventh prince causing a crazy thought to come to mind.‘Was he capable of reviving the dead?’But Elisa quickly put that thought aside as it was impossible.The cursed daggers were a pair, one held by her and the other by her husband.It allowed them to kill a person with a single cut as the curses imprinted on the dagger would swiftly eat through the person, reducing them to empty corpses.Not even their soul would be spared so it was a thorough death.So there was no way Ethan could revive the seventh
