At that moment, the entrance to Londyn's company swung open. A striking woman, her lengthy hair flowing behind her, radiating an icy aura, elegantly emerged.
Upon witnessing the company chairwoman, Ms. Edwards, making her exit, numerous male employees stole admiring glances, unable to resist a second look.
But as she approached the street, a mysterious vehicle pulled up before her, a voice emanating from within, "Ms. Edwards, long time no see."
Londyn was momentarily taken aback, looking up to see Farrer.
Why was he here?
She remembered how he'd persistently pursued her when she was still single, only to be repeatedly rejected.
Having not seen him for a couple of years, why had he
"Indeed, I almost forgot."With a sudden movement, Farrer rose from his chair and reached into his pocket, revealing a small box, which he then unveiled to the curious eyes around him."Londyn, happy birthday. This is a gift I've prepared for you."The box revealed a silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. Basil couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; at first glance, the piece clearly held significant value.Londyn seemed taken aback. "Thank you, but this is too extravagant. I cannot accept it." she gently protested, clearly uneasy about receiving such a lavish gift from Farrer.But Farrer, pushing the box closer to her, spoke with passion. "It's been years since we last met, Londyn. This necklace symbolizes the longing I've felt for you all this time. You must accept it.""But I...""No buts." Farrer interjected: "Do you think I'd be like some others, showing up to Londyn's birthday unprepared, without even a simple gift? What kind of man would do that?"Without pausing, he sent a
Basil hesitated: "Ah, we can't blame Ethan entirely. It was Edsel who framed Samuel.""Moreover, Ethan is quite competent. You have no idea how much face Edsel lost in front of Ethan."On hearing this, Lily retorted with indignation: "What's so great about him? He's just a blind cat who caught a dead rat. It's pure luck.""If anyone's skilled, it's Samuel. What has Ethan got to do with it?""Driving a Honda, what can he achieve? Just fighting? What use is that?""Does he have money? What's his background? Is he even worthy of our Londyn?"Lily, a rather sharp-tongued and demanding woman, continuously vented, leaving Basil completely silenced by her barrage of words.She found herself wandering back to the soirée at the Edwards' mansion, where Ethan, in all his fleeting glory, had displayed a knack for combat, taking down Edsel with a swift maneuver. Yet, aside from that, he appeared bereft of any other discernible talents.“Where he exists, I cannot, and where I stand, he shall not!”
“A driver? That’s quite unimpressive." Harvey adjusted his glasses, revealing a smirk.He initially intended to maintain his gentlemanly facade, but Ethan had tested his patience, especially when he realized Ethan’s partner, Londyn, was far more beautiful than his own Ceridwen.A natural male jealousy sprouted, and Harvey could no longer mask his true colors.Ethan, however, responded with a soft chuckle: "What do you consider a promising future?”The room fell silent, and whispers filled the air.Ceridwen looked peeved. She wasn't expecting a comeback. With a haughty glare, she retorted: "Wondering what constitutes a promising future?”She then unveiled a glass case, and as everyone saw its contents, gasps echoed.“This... isn’t this the Hotan Jade ‘Peach Celebrating Longevity’ set that the international jeweler, Weaver Weatherall, has been advertising?”“My God! I recall it being priced at more than 3 million!”“More so, I thought it wasn’t even released to the public yet. How did y
In the grand halls of intrigue and whispers, the three of them were keenly aware that the pendant was a mere imitation, the very crux of Ceridwen's stratagem.The looming 50th birthday celebration of Calliope, it was anticipated that every guest had procured gifts beforehand.The previous eve, Ceridwen intentionally beckoned Lily to her abode, her ulterior motive being to uncover the nature of the gift the Londyn household had prepared.Notably, the mystery lay in what Ethan had possibly prepared.Upon sighting the gift, she immediately requested Lily to capture a comprehensive video of the scene.Furthermore, she summoned an expert forger from Southeast Asia, who tirelessly toiled through the night, creating a counterfeit so impeccable that it was almost indistinguishable from the genuine article.The idea of having Lily swap out the gift the night before had indeed crossed her mind, yet...Considering the priceless nature of the item, there was a likelihood that Ethan's people might
In the heart of the grand Edward estate, Calliope took each step with deliberation, approaching Ethan with grace and intensity. With a pronounced clink, she flung a necklace onto the table before him, the glint of the silver chain catching the dim candlelight.Every word dripped with icy resolve: "If the appraiser arrives and exposes your deceit before everyone, you will lose all face!""Do not presume that my position prevents me from giving you one last chance." she said, her eyes cold."On one knee, pour tea for the three of us, apologize sincerely, and perhaps I, Calliope, may overlook this slight.""And if not?"She was cut off by Ethan, who swiftly rose from his chair, standing tall at 1.88 meters, towering a head above Calliope, instantly diminishing her commanding presence."What will you do then?" he asked, his voice dripping with disdain.His sudden assertiveness left Calliope momentarily stunned, her words caught in her throat."Enough!" Interrupted Londyn, unable to sit qu
From the moment Toshan Bailey was imprisoned, the realm of New Hanbok was riddled with a tapestry of intricate events both grand and minute. Whispers and hushed plans were in the making among the prominent families. Most notably, the illustrious houses of Bailey and Byner found themselves intertwined in these whispered tales. Alas, both houses mourned the loss of their sons, taken from them in the span of a single, fateful night. On this sun-drenched afternoon, a clandestine meeting led by the Byner lineage was orchestrated with a clear target - the house of Edwards, or to put it more pointedly, young Ethan himself. The Byner patriarch, the father of Edsel Steve, finally put down the phone after only a brief conversation. Philip Bailey, standing tall in front of him, could no longer mask his impatience, his voice dripping with disdain: "This lowborn scoundrel, my family, the Baileys, can dispose of him in the blink of an eye! You summoned me here today for this trifling matter?"
She had previously heard from Londyn and Basil, complaints that even though they shared a room, this man seldom cast a glance in Londyn’s direction. That revelation had stunned her immensely. After all, Londyn was the famously beautiful CEO of New Hanbok. Merely her presence on the streets guaranteed an almost 99.98% chance of turning heads! Today, Scarlet couldn't believe it! While she did admit that her beauty couldn't rival that of Londyn, she was nonetheless the campus hot girl, endowed with an exquisite physique! In a murmur to herself, she vowed that the man would be defeated the moment he dared to sneak a glance at her collar. Ha ha~ Once inside Londyn's Maserati, as soon as Scarlet announced the destination, the car soared like an arrow. Throughout the drive, the car’s speed was exhilaratingly high. Scarlet felt increasingly tense, but she never missed an opportunity to stealthily observe the man beside her. Yet, from beginning to end, he simply drove with an icy deta
At this, Scarlet took a sharp intake of breath. She thought that Ethan was indeed fearless, but now he was doomed. Although he was her bodyguard for the day, he was still the husband of her close friend. How could she allow him to brawl like this? If something untoward happened to him, how would she explain it to Londyn? So she hurriedly grabbed Ethan's arm and screamed: "We need to run now!" Victoria also frowned, readying herself for a swift departure. Ethan cast a fleeting smile and remarked: "Are you certain you must flee?" No sooner had he spoken than Scarlet felt a sudden void in her grasp. Turning around, she was taken aback to realize that Ethan had already maneuvered his way amidst the crowd. In but a brief moment, he had subdued them all! Victoria and Scarlet stood, utterly astounded, their eyes wide and jaws agape. "Whoever hired him as a bodyguard knew what they were doing... He fights so skillfully…" Victoria stammered. Scarlet, too consumed with shock to respo
“Destroy,” Ethan roared, swinging the Ancestor Blade powerfully. Countless beams of light converged on the sharp blade, launching a mighty attack against the skull.The Ivory Sage, not to be outdone, merged with the skull, which then seemed to gain intelligence. Its eyes glowed a ferocious red, and its enormous mouth seemed ready to swallow Ethan whole.The night and light, good and evil clashed, as if bringing the apocalypse.Black and white light intersected, splitting Mist Isle and the sea.The endless sea began to boil, everything disintegrating in moments.Then, under the white light, the terrible power exploded outward, with Ethan and the Ivory Sage standing at the center of it.“Retreat, quickly retreat,” Ricky and Green Dragon, astonished, commanded their armies to pull back.But they were too slow compared to the terrifying power.With a loud crash, dozens of warships were lifted tens of meters high, rocking violently.“Something’s wrong, protect the warships,” Green Dragon i
Whoosh!A terrifying roar echoed throughout heaven and earth. Under the majestic aura, a golden dragon flew towards the skull phantom after Ethan's strike.The next moment, a collision that shook heaven and earth occurred.Evil and righteousness, the skull and the golden dragon collided. The sky was enveloped in a bright light."Retreat, quickly retreat," they shouted in horror, leading their people to rapidly fall back.The members of the Ivory Guild also began to flee.Under that power, a moment's inattention could lead to being swallowed up.Even standing at a distance, they couldn't help but worry.The sea boiled, with waves hundreds of meters high surging and crashing down, the momentum reaching the skies, the earth seeming to tremble."Mr. Alexander," Hugo and Lily exclaimed in shock.Even Green Dragon and Christian frowned. The power displayed was beyond their imagination. At this point, it was not easy to determine who would win or lose.After ten minutes, the huge waves fina
After the Guild Master, whether they were Emperors, Kings, or Judge Law Enforcers, all knelt in succession."We welcome the Honored Ivory."The Honored Ivory?Behind Ethan, Green Dragon, Christian, Lily, and Hugo all frowned. No wonder the Ivory Guild was so arrogant. It turns out they had a master."The Honored Ivory, so it's real," Ricky muttered, his words tinged with caution: "Not bad, no wonder the Ivory Guild has existed for so long."In front, Ethan narrowed his eyes, saying nothing as if he wasn't surprised, even appearing somewhat expectant.Was the Honored Ivory the person he was looking for?Unnoticed by anyone, the sky grew cloudy, the drizzle turned heavy, giving a cold feeling like winter in summer.Moments later, a water spout shot up from below Mist Isle, quickly reaching hundreds of meters high.Observing closely, one could see a person standing on that spout, clad in a black cloak with a skull pattern, appearing majestic.Under that black cloak was a mask, hiding the
"Hmph, if you seek death, I'll oblige," Timothy grunted and moved to attack Ricky first.The battle ensued, a formidable power surging through the space."Christian, it's time to settle our scores," Solomon's three Judges from the Ivory Guild stepped forward, their faces filled with rage, seeking revenge on Christian."You think you're worthy? All three of you come at once," Christian said coldly."Christian, today you must die."The three Judges grimaced, their cold laughter intensifying as they lunged at Christian."Three against one, where's your honor? Green Dragon will join the fun," Green Dragon laughed and immediately stood beside Christian.The three Judges were the strongest under the Grand Mage, each at the tenth level. Christian alone might be at a disadvantage."Alright, let's see who kills more," Christian's fighting spirit surged as he licked his lips.Green Dragon wouldn't be outdone. Together, the five of them surrounded each other, their immense power enveloping the i
Christian frowned but remained calm. Just an octopus attempting to confront Mr. Alexander was indeed naive.Sure enough, moments later, the black slime suddenly changed to yellow, and the tentacles seemed to be put through a meat grinder, turning into hundreds of pieces. Blood and flesh splattered, filling the sea with a pungent smell of blood.The octopus howled in rage, burying its head in the water. It wasn't dead; it was trying to escape.But Ethan wouldn't let it get away so easily. His eyes cold, he raised the Ancestor Blade high and slashed towards the octopus.The vast sea seemed to split in two under the power of his sword, even the water parting. The octopus barely had time to escape before it was cut in half.A white light emitted from the octopus's body and then disappeared. Even Christian was amazed by the power within that light."Sir, this…" Christian started to say but his implication was clear. This octopus was indeed artificially created, and if there were a hundred
Seeing the armies before him, Ethan was deeply moved. Once, he was just an ordinary soldier, who had gone through tough wars to reach this day. Seeing his brothers, he saw himself in those glorious years. "Officers and soldiers, listen to my command." "Yes." After Ethan's shout, hundreds of thousands of soldiers echoed in unison. Whether it was Green Dragon, Lily, or Hugo, everyone appeared solemn, awaiting orders. "Ethan signaled for the army to board the warships, determined to eliminate the Ivory Guild today. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, invigorated, bravely embarked on the warships. The Ivory Guild's stronghold was five hundred meters from the Auroria border, reachable only by warship. It was imaginable that today marked a battle of life and death. How many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers would survive and return was uncertain. Soon, hundreds of warships plunged into the vast sea, heading towards the Ivory Guild's lair. "Sir, according to intelligence, the
The Elders of the Emperor Clan, who had lived for over a hundred years and possessed extraordinary strength, regretted that even facing Ethan, they could only do so much. "If he wasn't arrogant, he wouldn't be Ethan," the head of the Lee family sighed. "Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, please visit the Wind and Mac families." "After decades of seclusion, it's time for our Emperor clan to emerge." After Ethan left Auroria, the entire Flower Nation was abuzz. The five major war zones and tens of thousands of soldiers and officers moved day and night, and wherever they passed, the people rejoiced and welcomed them. The mighty army marched southward to attack the Ivory Guild. As the most dangerous organization in Flower Nation, the Ivory Guild was a target that needed to be eliminated. At this time, Ethan became a hero by eliminating harm for the people and was warmly supported by the entire nation. Not only that, but all three Emperors, who had been in hiding for decades, also took this
Having said that, this person launched a cruel move towards the Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord was unable to prepare in time and was killed immediately. “Okay, after dealing with that bad guy, next is the fight between us,” the head of the Ivory Guild glanced at Ethan. That Celestial Lord is nothing more than a puppet. The person behind the control and manipulation of the Ivory Guild is this Venerable. ……. Long Dao, Son Dinh. This is the place to worship the ancient Emperor. After thousands of years, only two people came here today. One person is Ethan, and the other person is the Venerable of the Ivory Guild who came because he was forced. The suppression of Ethan's great army caused all of this Venerable's subordinates to be defeated and have no way to retreat. At this time the Ivory Guild disbanded, only the Venerable of the Ivory Guild had to come here under Ethan's pursuit. When he arrived here, he saw Ethan standing on the mountain waiting for him. "Venerable Bach Cot
For example, at this moment, the strength he showed clearly surpassed the realm that Hoang Lao understood, so not long after the fight, Hoang Lao began to realize the problem, he began to scream. “Ethan, no matter how strong your strength is, you cannot destroy the Ivory Guild,” Hoang Lao said harshly. But unfortunately, Ethan in front of him just coldly cleared his throat: "Is that so?" After Old Man Hoang realized how strong Ethan was, he no longer restrained his body's strength. He used all his power, his main purpose was to kill Ethan. Seeing this, Ethan still stood as firmly as Mount Thai, not moving at all. At the same time, he clenched his fist and threw a punch, defeating all of Hoang Lao's defenses, making him basically unable to block. He was hit by a strong blow from Ethan, so he screamed in agony. “Ah…”, he was in extreme pain. Hoang Lao was so strong and yet at this moment he was defeated so easily, making the people around him surprised and speechless. They were un
