"Master, the young miss has awakened!"Just then, a woman of around sixty hurriedly descended from the second floor. At the sound of her voice, everyone's gaze inevitably drifted towards her.Subsequently, Leighton, slightly agitated, blurted out, "Sister Five, how's my daughter? Is there any problem with her?"Bombarded with questions, Sister Five was momentarily flustered. But soon after, she reassured them."Master, the young miss is perfectly fine. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her. I checked her thoroughly, she has no injuries. Apart from being somewhat frightened, she is completely normal."Hearing this reassuring statement, Leighton felt a weight lifted from his heart. His greatest concern had not materialized. It was then that he looked towards Ethan and his companions and said,"Although I, Leighton, am no great personality, I've always lived by the principle of reciprocating kindness. Thanks to your help today, my daughter is safely home. After settling this matter,
This time, Ethan was genuinely taken aback, letting out a surprised "Oh!". But he didn't question who this person was; instead, it was Harold who showed extreme enthusiasm, quickly following Spinel's direction, steering the driver towards Jay, then turning into a narrow alley labeled 413. They finally stopped in front of a small temple, with the large character Xperia Temple displayed boldly above.Standing before the temple gate, Spinel slowly opened the door and exited, giving Ethan a slight squint and a smirk."Captain, even though this person has been in hiding for many years, I think, just by your appearance, he'll surely be cooperative. Perhaps, he could even help us find the owner of the handwriting left on the anonymous letter!"Upon hearing her claim, both Harold and Fox grew incredibly curious, also wanting to know who this person was. However, Ethan maintained his usual cool demeanor, displaying no unusual emotion.Their disappointment was palpable, but Spinel remained comp
Hearing Ethan's laughter, Spinel couldn't help but feel a cold shiver down his spine.At this point, Harold and Fox had also noticed Ethan and Spinel emerging from the yard."Ethan, have you found out who sent the anonymous letter?"As soon as he saw Ethan step outside, Harold couldn't resist and hurried over, inquiring eagerly.In response, Ethan only shook his head, patting Harold's shoulder as he slowly spoke."This is not something to be rushed. Your current priority is protecting your sister. As for finding the true culprit lurking in the shadows, we will help your family investigate. After all, if they dared to touch your family, they must have considerable backing. For now, go home. If we find any leads, we'll inform you immediately."Despite the disappointment in his heart, Harold nodded at Ethan in response."Don't worry, even though the Li family isn't the most powerful in New Single, no matter who they are, if they dared to harm my sister, I will risk my life to make them p
"I...""You..."It took them some time to react. But as they did, they realized their bodies were tangled together in an awkward embrace.Even Ethan seemed a bit flustered.Eventually, Londyn was the first to react. She pushed herself hastily off the ground, attempting to stand up. But as soon as she moved, a fresh wave of pain shot up her ankle, causing her to let out a small cry."A..."Once again, she fell onto Ethan's chest."Oof..."Although Londyn was not heavy, her fall exerted a certain force that made Ethan quite uncomfortable. However, seeing her pain-stricken face, he had no choice but to support her, gently helping her to sit on the ground."Are you okay?"Noticing the swelling on Londyn's ankle, Ethan reached out to examine it, but Londyn panicked and quickly pushed his hand away."I... I'm okay!"However, Ethan's face turned serious as he studied her ankle."Looking at you now, it seems like your ankle might be dislocated. If not treated in time, it could leave a permane
Feeling Ethan's gaze on her, a hint of blush appeared on Londyn's face. Even though she had initially suggested that he stay, she was now feeling a bit flustered.However, she managed to keep her composure and simply nodded in response."Why don't I take the outside? Anyway, my leg still hurts. If I wake up, I won't disturb you."Hearing Londyn's response, Ethan quickly shook his head."No, you should take the inside, and I'll sleep on the outside. Our daughter often wakes up at night, and with your current condition, it's inconvenient for you to move around. I can get up and take her to the bathroom!"Having made his decision, Ethan paid no heed to Londyn's surprised look, and casually laid down, closing his eyes.Seeing Ethan now, Londyn felt a mix of irritation and affection.Irritated because he didn't seem to respect her opinion. He had asked her preference, and then had ignored it, making his own decision.Affection because she realized how much Ethan cared for her. He was conce
"Woof woof!"As Ethan's party crossed the temple gate, a pack of dogs inside started barking loudly. However, all three of them paid no heed to the dogs, heading straight for a tiled house positioned slightly to the right of the gate."At last, you have arrived!"Seeing Ethan, the man showed no surprise. Instead, his eyes flashed with an exciting spark as he shouted to Ethan.At his behavior, all three were left puzzled.However, before they could speak, the man suddenly shut the room door tightly, checking carefully around him. Finally, satisfied no one was observing, he sighed a little."I'm truly sorry, but this matter is extremely crucial to me. So, I didn't want anyone else to hear it."On hearing this, Ethan, Fox, and Spinel exchanged glances. Fox, seemingly annoyed at the man's actions, snapped."Stop playing games with us. What's so important that you had to call our Captain here? Could it be, you already know who the anonymous letter writer is?"Fox's words were a mere specul
"Wow, wow, Captain, take a look! That's a Ferrari 812 Superfast limited edition. I heard that one has to pre-order from the company half a year in advance. Moreover, including import taxes, this car would cost at least twenty billion!"Spotting a dazzling red vehicle parked near the hotel's main entrance, Fox couldn't help but exclaim with excitement.His outburst attracted quite a few curious glances. Noticing Fox's dyed red hair and multiple earrings, the onlookers sneered. Clearly, in their eyes, Fox was an inexperienced playboy, hence his loud behavior in front of the hotel.Many onlookers started to grow wary, fearing Fox would act out and damage their vehicles.Consequently, the hotel's security team quickly moved in, scrutinizing the trio of Ethan, Fox, and Spinel."May I ask who you gentlemen are? Do you have an invitation?"Seeing the security's standoffish demeanor, Ethan gave Fox a side-glance. Fox immediately recoiled a bit, realizing his previous outburst had caused this
Hearing Fox's words, Aidan's expression changed slightly, but he soon laughed aloud."Brat, despite your young age, you sure talk big. Relying on a snot-nosed brat like you to wipe out my Azure Dragon gang? Who gave you such audacity?"As he spoke, Aidan's aura began to surge. His body moved fluidly, lunging at Fox with a punch.Boom!Aidan punched with an air of nonchalance, believing Fox could not possibly block his strike.But before Aidan could celebrate, Fox threw his own punch. It came after Aidan's but arrived first. Thus, before Aidan's fist could reach Fox, Fox's hand had already landed a direct hit on Aidan's chest.Boom!Fox
