last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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

    “In summary, negotiate all you want about compensation or anything else. I can pay or show respect, but absolutely don't lay a finger on the ones in the truck!” “Understood?” Recognition dawned on Victoria; this was Mr. Thompson's private car. Who was Mr. Thompson? He was the undisputed king of New Hanbok, able to shake its very foundations with a mere stomp! Yet Ethan's demeanor remained relaxed, his reply absent as he chuckled. Quickly, the occupants of the pickup entered the club. Few in number, perhaps five or six, but each of them was robust, carrying themselves with an undeniable aura of fierce authority. Compared to the muscular guards they dwarfed in stature and presence. At a glance, Ethan recognized the leader, the very man who had delivered a package to the Edwards' residence earlier. Obviously, his true identity wasn't that of a mere delivery man. Seeing the newcomers, Sis Verity straightened, regaining her composure as she warmly greeted: "Mr. Matthew.” The man

    Despite the hurdles, matters eventually concluded. Mr. Matthew's men had beaten Andrew and sis Verity to an inch of their lives and usurped sis Verity's club management rights. Andrew was discarded in a narrow alleyway, managing with great difficulty to phone the Bailey family's head, Philip. Sis Verity was one of his few lifelines, given that he worked for the Bailey family. Naturally, after such a setback, he had to report to them. He held onto the hope that the Bailey family might intervene on his behalf. He relayed the entire series of events to Philip as soon as the call connected. However, much to his dismay, Philip's furious rebuke came swift and merciless! "Who told you to mess with Ethan now?" "From this point on, you have nothing to do with our Bailey family. Get lost!" Infuriated, Philip abruptly hangs up the phone and blocks the number. Just yesterday, he had been in negotiations with the Han and Jones families, agreeing to not lay a finger on Ethan until they had

    As his son claimed he was being bullied, the man hurriedly marched over. After hearing his son's story, he scanned London and sneered: "Little one, who's filling your head with nonsense?" "This smart spider is the newest thing, nothing in the world is better." "You kids have been fooled!" With the ringleader's father backing him, the other kids quickly shifted their allegiance back to the ringleader. Facing an adult, London felt simultaneously intimidated and afraid. Her eyes glistening with tears, she stammered: "I wasn't lying...!" In this very moment, Ethan approached, inquiring: "London, what's the matter? What happened?" "Father!" Upon seeing Ethan, London, as if finding sanctuary in a storm, quickly ran towards him. At that point, a teacher approached, admonishing: "Why are you two still arguing?" The teacher, trying to suppress a smile upon seeing the two parents, half-jokingly commented: "These children are adamant that their toys are superior. Now that the parents ar

    "Indeed, these New Single families never seem content." "Excluding the Edwards and Baileys, none seem inclined to kneel and beg for forgiveness. They're probably scheming something foolish." Ethan smirked: "Half of the month-long deadline has passed. The Bailey's fortunes have dwindled significantly." Hearing this, a pang of realization struck Samuel. Yes, the Bailey family's future no longer shined bright. After hanging up the phone, Ethan checked his watch. It was past the usual time she would leave work. Of course, she's been let go. Why would she have a work schedule anymore? He wondered where she might be when, at that moment, his phone buzzed. Picking it up, he found a message from Londyn: "Pick up London from home. No need to wait for me after work; I need some solitude." The simplicity of her message laid bare her loneliness. After collecting London, Ethan noticed Basil's spirits were deflated. After all, today was the day his entire Edwards family had been exiled. Th

    Ethan chuckled: "Doesn't this indicate that your worth exceeds 200 million?" For a fleeting moment, Londyn felt an overwhelming wave of happiness, so surreal that she doubted the veracity of Ethan's words until he showed her an electronic contract. Victoria was incredibly gracious; she had already prepared the electronic contract. In an instant, Londyn felt her nose sting, unable to contain herself any longer, she lunged forward to hug Ethan, sobbing: "This is so wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" "Ethan, thank you…" For a brief moment, Ethan was enveloped in an intoxicating fragrance, sensing the quivering chest of the woman in his arms, convulsing due to tears and elation. However, quite swiftly, Londyn seemed to realize something, retreating from the embrace, her face now redder than before. She stole a glance at Ethan, her heart pounding, surprised she had initiated the hug. She had never done this with anyone of the opposite gender before. Just then, a few rowdy voices eru

    Seeing Ethan shake his head, the young female student furrowed her brows, reiterating to Basil, "In summary, don't trust him; he's a scammer!" Flustered, Basil hastened to clarify to everyone that Ethan was not a scam artist. Instantaneously, the consensus of the room was that Basil was naive and easily fooled, ignorant even to the fact that he had been duped. A young maiden, alight with righteous fury, continued to chastise Ethan. "What kind of a man are you? Even after I’ve exposed your true face, you dare continue with your deceitful antics?" "Do you think I won't call the police on you?" At that very moment, a bespectacled supervisor, having heard the escalating conflict from the infirmary, hurried in. Upon grasping the situation, he let out a vehement sigh, his eyes blazing in anger towards Ethan. "You cannot change the doctor!" "If even Dominich fails to heal, no other can save the patient!" "And what if switching doctors causes a delay in treatment? Can you bear the r

    “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.

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

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.

    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.

    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
