2024-10-29 19:42:56The killing intent was shocking. Very few people here had connections with the hidden face of this world, and so the majority of them didn't know what was happening. They only felt that it was becoming very difficult for them to breathe.
On the other hand, those who knew what just happened revealed eyes filled with shock. Who was this person to actually dare to cause trouble here? He is courting death! "Sir, today is the happy day of my Orlander Family. You are welcome to enjoy the banquet, but please, do not cause trouble." The Orlander Family butler, Martin, stood out and said while coldly looking at Ethan. When it comes to strength and martial arts, even in Springfield City, today's Orlander Family could be said to be at the top. Martin did not dare to claim that he was able to walk alone under the sky. However, he was able to cover the skies of Springfield City with his bare hands and look down on all living beings with disdain. After all, he was a warrior at the Third Realm of Martial Arts. Very few people in the entire Springfield City were strong enough to face him head-on. "Tell Aurora to come out and meet me!" The corners of Ethan's lips curled up slightly, as if he was a demon from hell laughing lightly. He didn't look at Aurora directly. Instead, he demanded her to come down and meet him. Arrogance could clearly be seen in his eyes. "Is he truly Ethan?" Claire felt as if she was seeing Ethan for the first time. This person was definitely not the one she and every member of her family bullied for the entire three years. Unlike the Ethan they knew, this person is not a coward and pathetic person. Instead, he appeared strong, confident, and terrifying. His cold eyes and powerful aura made him seem like a completely different person. Claire could feel the danger coming from him, and it sent shivers down her spine. The Ethan she and her family had bullied for three years was weak, always silent, and obedient. But this Ethan was fearless, standing tall with a deadly look in his eyes. He wasn't the same man who had quietly endured their mistreatment. Claire couldn't believe her eyes. "How did he change so much?" It was not just her, even Sandra and other Andersons were feeling the same. Their hearts were filled with confusion and fear. "How could my fiancé be someone that you can meet just because you want to? Today is the day that Orlander Family is celebrating and we don't want anything bad to happen on this happy day. So, scram. I and the Orlander Family can let you go this time. We will not pursue this matter as long as you leave now." At this time, a man about Ethan's age stepped forward. He was Elvis Langston, the heir to the Langston Family. Elvis looked at Ethan and shouted. Ethan was surprised a little. The information he obtained from Ryan didn't say that Aurora also has a fiancé. He gave Ryan a glance who hurriedly lowered his head. "Is it because your fiancé is too ugly that she isn't allowed to come out?" Shifting his gaze, Ethan raised the corner of his mouth slightly as he faintly smiled and said. He had already seen Aurora, and it is true that she was an exceptional beauty. However, he still called her ugly just to provoke her. When Elvis heard this, he immediately became furious. Then, his gaze turned cold as he glared fiercely at Ethan, "Brat, I don't care what you want to do today. I advise you to stop. There are some people that you can't provoke. Retreat quickly, otherwise..." "I don't want to say the same thing again. Tell Aurora to come and see me!" Ethan raised his head and looked at Elvis as he spoke indifferently. "I'm warning you one last time, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." Elvis's gaze was filled with killing intent. As the butler of the Orlander Family, he absolutely would not allow Ethan to cause trouble at this banquet. "It seems that you don't want to call Aurora." Ethan's tone gradually turned cold. As he looked at Elvis, a hint of chilliness instantly overflowed from his eyes. Seeing all of this, the guests started to mock Ethan. Although they didn't know who Ethan was, they all felt that it was a great pity. But to dare to make trouble for the Orlander Family, he must definitely be a madman. Elvis's gaze finally turned completely cold. A ruthless aura burst out from his body as well. Then he said, "Brat, I've given you three chances. You didn't cherish them, so you can't blame me for letting this go on." After saying that, Elvis raised his fist and punched towards Ethan's face. "Bam!" A clear yet somewhat muffled sound resounded in the hall. It was extremely ear-piercing! A bottle of wine directly smashed onto Elvis's head. Ethan's movements were fast and swift without the slightest hesitation. He simply did not look like an elegant person. Along with the sound, the broken fragments of the bottle fell to the ground along with the scattered blood, creating a bright red color. "This..." Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They looked at Ethan in disbelief. They could not believe what they saw. This guy not only created trouble in the Orlander Family's banquet, he even beat Elvis! How could he dare to do such a thing? Could it be that he had gone mad? "Ahhhhh!" "You piece of trash, you f*cking dared to hit me!? Are you tired of life? You are courting death!" After several seconds of silence, Elvis held his head with one hand and stood up. Blood was dripping from his head. He looked at Ethan with a hideous expression, while his other hand was slapping towards Ethan's cheek. In his entire life, Elvis had never been humiliated like this before. He was actually kicked in the head by someone like Ethan! He swore that he would definitely kill Ethan today! "You're courting death!" When Ethan saw this, he picked up a fork from the table and threw it at Elvis. The fork was like a meteorite as it shot towards Elvis's neck. Immediately, the malevolent and arrogant Elvis fell to the ground. His neck spewed out fresh blood. "Murder. Someone committed a murder!" The people around him were all pampered people. When they saw the scene unfolding before their eyes, they immediately shrieked with fear. A few timid ones even peed their pants. No one saw, although Aurora was shocked at Ethan's action of killing Elvis without thinking twice, a smile formed on her face as well. But she quickly hid this smile and gave Ethan a deep look.

The next day, Ethan arrived at the Civil Affairs Office on time. His face was calm, but his eyes carried a hidden storm. He waited outside the building with his hands in his pockets, staring at the cars passing by on the street. The cold wind blew against his face, but he barely noticed.About twenty minutes later, Claire arrived in a shiny black Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The car stopped right in front of the office, and Claire stepped out. Her face was hidden behind large dark sunglasses. She looked every bit like the wealthy woman she was, wearing a designer coat and high heels that clicked sharply on the pavement as she walked.She glanced at Ethan with a sneer on her face, not bothering to hide the disgust she felt for him."Well, look who's here! I didn't think you'd show up on time. Are you that eager to be out of my life?" She said mockingly while pulling her sunglasses down just enough to reveal her cold eyes.Ethan didn't respond to her.

When Ethan nodded at him, he immediately took out an envelope, and said, "It is here!"Ethan nodded and took the envelope before keeping it in his coat pocket. His expression didn't look right at the moment. "Captain!"At this time, Ryan respectfully spoke up, "People cannot be revived, so don't be too sad.""He treated me very well in the army, and it was also him who trained me. He also saved my life several times back then. The debt of gratitude I owed him is as heavy as a mountain. Now that he is dead, I don't know how to repay him. The least I can do is avenge him!"

He took the elevator to his suite.Meanwhile, in the Springfield City Hospital, an old man had been rushed to a VIP ward. A group of doctors were standing around his bed but their expressions were not right."Why does he look fine?"Doctors were puzzled about how the old man looked well even after a heart attack. This should not be the case for a patient who just had a heart attack. However, since he looked fine and the results of all tests were good, they decided to keep the old man under observation.Currently, in the brightly lit room, the old man lay comfortably in a hospital bed.Creak~All of a sudden, the door to the ward burst open and three people rushed inside."Grandpa!"A young man called out, hurrying to the old man's bedside.

In their eyes, he was a pervert who was trying to attract the attention of a little girl who was not even 18 yet."What do you guys think he's doing?""I don't know, but it's definitely not about treating patients.""Heh, I thought he may have some ability, but it turns out he is here to make a fool of himself!""I've never seen a person who can cure heart attack by holding hands."All kinds of doubts and mockery flooded over like a tidal wave, but Ethan remained silent and calm.
