After the small, tumultuous drama had passed, the spotlight shifted back to London and Basil. The three girls named Londyn had vanished without a trace. As for Farah, Ethan had merely left his contact information; further conversations could wait. Shortly afterward, the ball came to its inevitable conclusion. Philip, sitting in the seat of honor, uttered: "It's almost time." Philip, Steve, and Harvey exchanged glances. All three sensed that the grand finale of this momentous gathering was about to unfold. They turned their heads and found her: the hostess of the Edwards family, Calliope. When Calliope clarified her intentions, the Edwards family had already planned to confront Ethan, inquiring if the trio had greeted Mr. Thompson. Philip's expression slightly contorted, revealing a hint of discomfort, murmured: "Our initial plan faced some... complications.” “Now, the three of us intend to personally seek Kenneth for clarity.” Steadfast and resolute, Calliope boldly proposed: "
Should Kenneth turn his back, it is only natural for Steve to seek the alliance of other powerful entities, among which the Smith family stands as a formidable force. "Our four great families have had numerous dealings with the Smith lineage." a voice, dripping with pride, proclaimed. "Now, as we face this upstart, should the Smiths lend their support, all future ventures will see the Smiths favored above all by our four great families." As these words were spoken, the faces of Steve, Philip, and Calliope radiated an arrogance only those of solid lineage could muster. Yet, to everyone's astonishment, Grainne did not acknowledge them. Instead, she gracefully moved towards Ethan. "Ethan, it's been a while. I hadn't realized you were here today. I hope you'll forgive my tardiness in greeting you." Steve: "..." Philip: "..." Calliope: "..." The room seemed to freeze, as if they had seen a ghost. For Grainne, with her humble posture and almost sycophantic demeanor, was the heires
Inside the study, only three figures remained: Ethan, Kenneth, and Benson. An eerie silence enveloped the room. "Young Master Ethan, allow me to introduce you to my esteemed elder brother, Benson." Kenneth began, his eyes gleaming with pride. "I believe you might have heard tales of Benson's prowess. Even figures of Samuel's stature bow to him." "I suggest you address him as Elder Brother Allen. If he's my elder brother, then he's yours as well." "From this day forth, we are bound as brothers. What say you?" Kenneth sat on a modest sofa, while Benson occupied the grandest seat in the study. His gaze scrutinized Ethan, as if trying to peer into the depths of his soul. Yet, Ethan remained unfazed, his nonchalance slightly irking Kenneth. The man spoke again: "Those fools from the four major families dared to cause trouble on my turf today. Truly, they have a death wish." "If it weren't for Elder Brother Allen's timely arrival, I fear we wouldn't have been able to clean up the mes
"Ha ha, you crippled my son, and Kenneth still defends you?" he sneered: "Then your daughter will pay for your sins!" Within moments, he was on the phone, ordering an investigation into the school the young girl attended. In the days that followed, Londyn established her own company. The newly formed enterprise kept her and Scarlet incredibly busy. In contrast, Ethan remained leisurely, uninvolved in the company's affairs, content in his roles as a doting uncle and occasional chauffeur. Londyn's bond with the young hunting dog grew stronger each day. The pup had grown significantly, almost indistinguishable from a full-grown hound. As dusk settled, Basil prepared a lavish dinner as always. On most days, the rotund man managed household affairs. Truly, Basil was the epitome of a perfect family man. The dog, spotting Ethan's family returning, wagged its tail excitedly in greeting. "Rowan!" Londyn exclaimed, rushing to play with the dog. Basil chuckled: "You two have been busy a
Seated comfortably, Manager Steven greeted Ethan with a smile, glancing over the loan documents. "Why didn't Director Edwards come in person today?" Steven's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Ethan calmly responded: "She's quite busy. I'm her assistant." "I see the terms have been discussed, so why hasn't the loan been processed?" Adjusting his glasses, Steven's tone grew serious: "Tell me the truth." "After our internal deliberations, we've concluded that the future prospects of your company seem rather bleak." Manager Steven began, his voice dripping with condescension: "Therefore, the fifty-million loan might not be feasible." Ethan's brows furrowed in confusion: "Not feasible? Why weren't we informed earlier?" Having discussed terms nearly a month ago, this sudden withdrawal was perplexing. How were they supposed to manage their company's finances? If they had been informed earlier, they could've approached another bank. Steven, sensing Ethan's growing frustration, smirked:
The license plate indicated it was from the Central South military zone. In other words, this car belonged to the military! In an instant, Director Alexis straightened his attire, standing upright. The others also became instantly alert, wondering which high-ranking official was visiting Windsor Bank today. The car door swung open swiftly, revealing a stunning young woman stepping out. Aside from influential figures like Alexis and Ava, hardly anyone recognized her. Yet, the mere sight of her sent shivers down their spines. Wasn't this Zalda, the granddaughter of the venerable Abram and daughter of Adrian from the Central South military zone? What business could someone of her stature have at Windsor Bank? Regardless of her reasons, both Director Alexis and Ava felt compelled to approach her, greeting her with utmost respect and wide smiles: "Welcome, Miss Harris!" Yet, Zalda merely acknowledged them with a brief nod, then hurriedly approached Ethan, bowing deeply in front of e
As the conversation continued, Amanda's face grew serious: "I've made a promise to a dear friend. I must win.""Why would the eldest daughter of the Fred family need to resort to fighting to resolve an issue?"Hearing Ethan's words, Amanda shook her head: "You wouldn't understand. The situation in our circle is quite complex.""Young people from influential families, none of us want to tarnish our family's reputation.""Now that there's a conflict, and neither side will back down, a fight is the best solution. After all, it's just a fight. The one who yields will admit defeat.""Coincidentally, this time, participants from our circle have some martial arts background. Resolving it the martial artist's way is quite professional."Hearing her words, Ethan was momentarily at a loss for words. Truly, a bunch of bored and insipid rich kids."There's another layer to it, of course."Amanda glanced at Ethan, not intending to hide anything from him."Actually, after that auction day, I got cl
Upon his words, even more disdainful glances were cast Ethan's way."Yes, yes, Mr. Clark, you're absolutely right. We'll report this to our higher-ups."A chorus of sycophantic agreement followed.After speaking, Mr. Clark began to strut around the showroom.Ethan, unbothered by the rude crowd, wandered on his own.Even if the most expensive car in the world was within Ethan's grasp, he pondered.Londyn's car was a Maserati worth over a million. He considered getting something of a similar stature for himself.It would be fitting.Soon after, he focused on a Porsche Macan, priced around a million.Seeing Ethan pause before the Porsche Macan, the only salesperson who hadn't mocked him earlier approached."Are you interested, sir?"The petite salesman began patiently introducing the car. Ethan listened for a bit, then nodded and asked:"If I pay upfront, can I take the car immediately?"His words instantly drew the attention of everyone in the store!The young salesman was taken aback.
“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
