A Silent Protector

Ch 8: The Celebration

Three days later, Ethan could be seen standing in front of a man. This man's first name is Ryan and he is one of Ethan's subordinates. He is also one of the three Lord Protectors in the elite unit, the Silent Protectors.

"Captain!"

Ryan saluted Ethan. 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!" Ethan said with a cold look in his eyes. His voice was like the low cry of the grim reaper of hell.

The person he was talking about was already dead, but the debt was still there.

Ethan swore he wouldn't let Alex Garner's blood flow for nothing!

Seeing this, Ryan revealed an excited look on his face, "Captain, are you returning?"

"Not for now," Ethan shook his head. Then he asked, "Did you find out how he died?"

Ryan felt ashamed when he heard that. Shaking his head, he responded, "Captain, this matter is extremely large. It also has a wide range of implications. At the moment, I can only tell you that Alex Garner's death seems not only related to those dark forces but also to those elite families. I went to the Garner Family to ask about the situation, but they didn't open their mouth. They seem to be afraid of the powers behind Alex's assassination."

"On the other hand, the company that Alex established before his death was completely devoured by the Orlander Family. The properties, stocks, and hotels that he owns all entered the pockets of the Orlander Family."

Orlander Family?

Ethan had some impression of this family. This family not only operates in Springfield City and other cities, but it also operates in the hidden side of this world.

"Where are the people from the Orlander Family now?"

Ethan asked indifferently, but his tone carried a trace of coldness.

"The current leader of the Orlander Family is called Aurora Orlander. She is very young, but she has already achieved the Second Realm of Martial Arts. She is famous in the mortal world. She is known as the most dazzling beauty of Springfield. Today, she is holding a grand feast to celebrate the cooperation between Langston Family and overseas groups."

When Ethan heard this, he brushed off the dust on his body.

"Come, let's go and take a look at this Aurora Orlander. If she really is the one who killed Alex, then she must die today."

With these words, Ethan stood up and left.

"Yes, captain!"

Ryan nodded respectfully and followed closely behind him.

Coincidently, the grand feast to celebrate the cooperation between the Langston Family and overseas groups was being held in the Golden Spring Hotel.

At the moment, the front of the door was already packed with people. Those who entered or left the hotel all wore luxurious clothes and jewelry.

The Orlander Family used to be a small family in Springfield City, however, it gradually gained fame and money about fifty years ago when Aurora's grandfather entered the military and became a member of a special force.

Today, the Ordlander Family was standing tall where only a few families or forces could rival them in both business and strength.

In the lobby of the Golden Spring Hotel, the lights were soft and the music was classical. All the rich and outstanding people of Springfield City were gathered here, toasting each other without caring about their own safety.

In the hotel's suite, Ethan slowly took off his clothes.

His skin was more like a woman than a soldier. His skin was white, tender, and not rough at all. But the surprising thing was that Ethan's fair skin was covered with densely packed and criss-crossing scars. It looked extremely malevolent.

Ethan didn't care about his scars. He slowly changed into casual clothes, and after changing, he looked at the time.

It was already 7 PM.

It was also the time when the Orlander Family banquet had officially begun. The guests in Golden Spring Hotel were enjoying the wine, chatting happily with each other. The tables were full of delicacies, the band was playing nearby, and the music was soothing.

Ethan arrived in the banquet hall and started looking at everyone.

Very soon, a man caught his attention.

This man was dressed in black and had tattered hair. He wore a suit and a pair of leather shoes. He had an extraordinary temperament and had a handsome face. Although he was young, he had an outstanding demeanor and an imposing manner.

At this moment, he was holding a wine cup and chatting happily with the crowd. However, his gaze would occasionally turn towards the second floor of the banquet hall.

This person was Robert Anderson. He was also Claire's uncle and the Anderson Group's Vice President.

Ethan's mouth suddenly curled up when he saw Robert. He could already see traces of curse on his body. Obviously, the curse seems to have already affected the entire Anderson Family.

"The Andersons' destruction is not far away!"

Ethan muttered silently in his heart. He doesn't even need to raise his hand to destroy the Andersons. Their only fault was betraying Ethan, and now, no one can save them.

Ethan suddenly saw Claire, Max, and Sandra. It seems four members of the Anderson Family were already here.

What surprised Ethan was that Claire was holding hands with a man dressed in a branded suit, tie, and shoes. He was looking dashing, however, he was not the only one. The majority of men present in this banquet hall were handsome and good-looking.

This person was Derek Whitman, the second generation's third son of the Whitman Family. The Whitman Family was richer than the Andersons but still far away compared to the Orlanders and the Garners.
