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.
"So, is it true that this petite fellow claims that only his customer can purchase the item?" Mr. Clark, with his silvery hair contrasting his dark suit, cast a piercing gaze upon the slight-framed salesman, causing the latter to quiver and bow his head in intimidation. As the words fell from his lips, Manager Lewis's temper flared on the spot: "Preposterous!" He glared at the diminutive figure: "You dare speak to Mr. Clark like that? Treat a customer in such a manner? You needn’t come in tomorrow!" "A-ah?" The slight young man looked stupefied, mouth agape, consumed by regret. Even Ethan couldn't bear to watch. He stepped up to confront Manager Lewis: "Are you Manager Lewis? Earlier, your team leader didn't say the same." "He mentioned that regular customers have a priority. Hard to believe. Does your store really have such absurd policies?" As the accusation hung in the air, the leader of the sales team avoided eye contact, visibly distressed. Manager Lewis's countenance also c
In all veracity, Mr. Clark's pockets weren't deep enough for the purchase. His stratagem? Merely reserve the item, only to cancel it after some time, with perhaps a forfeiture of the deposit at worst. Though unable to afford a three million yuan automobile, the deposit was within his means. A trifling price for a momentary display of grandiosity, he mused, worth every penny. As the premises reverberated with the echoing laughter, there was a sudden hush. A gentleman of distinct oriental features, garbed in an elegant black vestment, made a poised entrance. The collective attention pivoted and recognized the Store Manager. The very presence of Manager Jackson was a spectacle in itself! Having just returned from an external engagement, Manager Jackson, slightly perturbed by the raucous scene, pondered: "The establishment is still open for business. How could this be? Where's the decorum?" He quickly advanced, his tone tinged with discontent: "What's the commotion? Why are all the s
Jackson laughed even louder, thinking he'd caught Ethan. But he failed to grasp Ethan's underlying meaning, which was Ethan's disdain for people of such circles. Suddenly, the store's glass doors swung open, revealing a dashing young man in impeccable attire. To Jackson's astonishment, it was Warren Scott, the very same he'd just dined with. "Young master Scott, what brings you here?" Whispers filled the room. Was this the legendary heir of the Scott family of New Hanbok? Warren, wearing a beaming smile, approached Jackson: "Mr. Clark, I was free today and decided to visit." "What's all the commotion about?" Jackson, casting a sly glance at Ethan, replied: "Ah, just a little disturbance. Someone was bold enough to claim they could replace me as the store manager." "Really?" Warren laughed heartily: "This store is an investment of the Scott family, and the manager is our direct appointee. I'm curious, who dares make such a proclamation?" No sooner had he spoken than a multitud
Upon recognizing him, Mr. Clark's hope was suddenly reignited. The newcomer was none other than the eldest Scott heir - Patrick Scott. Though not very close, Mr. Clark had mingled with Patrick at a few social gatherings and considered him an acquaintance. Could it be possible that with the eldest Scott's intervention, the tides might turn? Perhaps this whole debacle was just a reckless decision of Patrick's or maybe he had been deceived. If Patrick were to step in now, he could expose the true face of these charlatans, saving Mr. Clark from further embarrassment. After all, Patrick's stature towered far above that of Warren's. As Patrick entered the store, Mr. Clark eagerly approached, trying to curry favor: "Mr. Scott, do you remember me? I'm Mr. Clark, the CEO of New Single Association. We've met before." Patrick gave him a cursory glance, but... When his gaze landed on a familiar face among the crowd, his entire demeanor shifted. His body trembled, and a visible shiver ran
With a mother's pride, she believed that with Londyn's beauty, even without the fortunes of the Edwards lineage, the doors to an affluent son-in-law were well within reach. As for the aforementioned wreck, and that Ethan fellow, should they remain unobtrusive, all would be well. But dare they interfere, Lily would harness the might of the James family and ensure these two inconsequential men never jeopardized her or her daughter’s fortunes. When Basil narrated the afternoon’s incidents, the air in the Ethan household grew thick with astonishment. Londyn was especially shaken, her hands clenched in suppressed rage. She hadn't imagined her mother would overstep so egregiously. Surely, even talk of divorce didn’t warrant striking another? As Ethan tended to Basil, applying salve to his injuries, a thought brewed within him. The James', best they steer clear of his home in the future, and above all, of Londyn. Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to make a single phone call that could plun
“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
