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
How could Londyn, her dearest friend, not fathom her fiery spirit? Mocked and teased by those rogues, there was no way she would just let it slide. She delicately placed her jewel-like hand on the railing, her face a portrait of solemnity: "Don't fret for me." she said, a hint of defiance in her voice: "I'm not as frail as you believe." Her gaze shifted to Ethan, whose cold demeanor barely faltered as he gave a slight nod. Understanding washed over Amanda. With a curl of her lips, she shouted defiantly at the insolent crew: "Enough with your prattle! Who says I won't dare?” “The loser becomes a cowering turtle, remember that!” She declared with fervor. From atop his sleek black Bugatti, Xavier Clark roared back: "Agreed! The loser shall be dubbed the turtle." With a roaring rev, engines screamed, drowning the surroundings in a cacophony that pierced the eardrums. Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t anticipated the augmented power these cars held. Just by the sound, he knew.
The sight brought an unbridled joy to Amanda's eyes. With a mischievous glint, she rolled down her window and taunted Xavier: "Accepting defeat yet, tortoise? Or shall we see your precious car reduced to ruins?" Xavier's face contorted in anger, taking on a livid hue reminiscent of a pig's liver. On the approaching broad curve, Ethan spared Xavier no quarter, surging ahead with such velocity that he left Xavier struggling to even catch a glimpse of his taillights. Ethan finally brought his car to a rest on a barren patch of land on the outskirts of New Single, as signposted. No room for doubt remained. Their Ferrari stood regally as the first arrival, with nary a sight of a second vehicle, no matter how hard one looked. "Many thanks, driving god." Amanda exclaimed jubilantly to Ethan: "Without you, I might've been the tortoise in this race." Amanda's gratitude seemed endless, but Ethan responded only with a knowing smile. The trio alighted, surveying the surroundings. The place
As Zachary eagerly anticipated Amanda's gleeful agreement, she finally spoke, dispelling his presumption. "Thanks, but there's no need to bother. Ethan is teaching me." Amanda declared bluntly, adding: "In fact, I'm considering formally accepting him as my mentor." The atmosphere shifted palpably. Zachary's complexion darkened a few shades. "You're instructing Amanda? That suggests some formidable skill on your part, doesn't it?" Turning, Zachary shot Ethan a disdainful look, clearly dismissing him as unworthy. Advancing, he outstretched a hand in greeting: "Shall we get acquainted?" His smile insinuated something more sinister as he continued: "I've always enjoyed meeting those who claim to be formidable." As Zachary extended his hand, a slight and almost mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth, a glint of mischief in his eyes. Amanda tensed, knowing Zachary's penchant for testing others during handshakes. Rumor had it he once squeezed a man's hand so hard it broke. Al
But the true enigma, the one who sent chills down Ethan's spine and who appeared to be an overwhelming threat, was a young man in a black windbreaker. This young man rarely made a move, but when he did, it was always with a brutal efficiency, targeting weak points and disabling his opponents in the blink of an eye. He was evidently leagues above the others present. Suddenly, Ethan's brow furrowed. Amanda was targeting this very man in the black jacket. Initially, she seemed overly confident, employing the same techniques that had downed previous adversaries. However, she soon realized her sweeps were deftly dodged. As realization dawned upon her, the young man lunged, a blade in his left hand aimed straight for her throat. A choked gasp escaped Amanda. She felt her breath obstructed, her escape routes closed. All she could muster was a desperate scream. In an almost supernatural move, Ethan snatched a stone from the car's hood. With a swift throw, the man's left hand froze in mid-
While none of them recognized this stranger, they harbored a glimmer of hope that he might be an unexpected reinforcement summoned by their allies. The heated blood of the onlookers began to boil once more. Xavier shouted, his voice filled with fervor: "He deserves to be punished!” Ethan, discerning the situation, furrowed his brow, sensing something amiss. This man... he was different from the usual young masters they encountered. Without hesitation, he strode swiftly towards the unfolding chaos. Seeing the warriors of Amanda's side successively knocked down, "Ariel!" Upon seeing her close friend risk herself and ultimately fall defeated on the battleground for her sake, Amanda felt a fiery surge of emotions. Unable to restrain herself, she too launched forward. "Relentless pests, it seems unless I give you all a bitter taste of fear, you won't understand its meaning." With these words, amidst the turmoil, the bearded man pulled out a small, gleaming knife. In a swift motion,
“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
