After exchanging a few pleasantries, the call ended abruptly. But as fate would have it, no sooner had the call ended than the phone rang again, its persistent chime demanding attention. Ethan picked it up and, from the other end, came an anxious voice: "Greetings, are you by any chance the father of London Alexander?" "London has just fainted at the preschool. We have taken her to the infirmary. Could you be troubled to come here?" Fainted at preschool? "How is she now?" A tightness gripped Ethan's heart, his intuition hinting at something amiss, so he quickly inquired. The voice replied: "For now, the doctor can't pinpoint the issue, and she remains unconscious..." "I'll be right there." Without a moment's hesitation, Ethan dashed to the parking lot, simultaneously dialing the renowned Dr. Frederick. "My daughter has fainted, and the cause remains elusive." His succinct description conveyed the gravity of the situation, and Frederick immediately grasped its urgency: "I wil
Of the four major families, the Bailay and Byner clans harbored the deepest animosity towards him.Furthermore, the Byner family was the most influential among them.Even the Bailay had to secretly deploy the Four Deadly Assassins.So, wouldn't the more influential Byner be capable of subtler treachery?It now seemed highly probable that the Byner family, under the guise of supplying ingredients, poisoned the meals.He regretted underestimating human nature.At this revelation, Ethan radiated a cold, lethal aura.Samuel swiftly played an encrypted audio clip from inside the Byner's private discussions.Ethan listened intently.An unfamiliar man's voice rang out: "This poison is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and takes over a week to manifest.""When it strikes, the victim will experience unparalleled pain, prolonged, inescapable agony.""But if this poisoning isn't handled properly, innocent children could be inadvertently affected..."Steve Byner's sinister voice cut in: "Then handl
"Rest assured, she's out of danger. You all look exhausted. Go home, rest. Lingering here might not be the best for her." Frederick said sagely, holding his magnetic box. He added: "A couple of days' rest, and she'll be as good as new."After a slew of reassurances, Ethan's taut nerves finally relaxed.Glancing at his watch, it was already four in the morning.He rose, preparing to leave."Ethan..." Londyn's voice was filled with concern."Londyn, there are matters I must attend to immediately. I entrust her care to you."Londyn, reading between the lines, braced herself. Even though she loathed the idea of Ethan meting out justice, the gravity of the situation demanded it. Today, young London lay vulnerable in a hospital bed, and this transcended her usual boundaries of forbearance.Ethan left the hospital room.Samuel and Savannah quickly approached him: "Emperor." they addressed him reverently.Gazing at the pre-dawn skies, Ethan pronounced five chilling words: "Bathe in the Byner'
The guards, witnessing this, were dumbstruck to the point of voicelessness."Lord, Mr. Wright!"Steve stood frozen.His old friend, the invincible Mr. Wright, was taken down so effortlessly?Mr. Wright lay several meters away, his once fervent eyes now consumed by infinite terror.But just then..."Alert! Chief Steward Phillips approaches!"A loud cry rang out."Whirring, whirring."The loud noise of helicopter blades resonated.Numerous large jeeps abruptly halted outside the house.Steve suddenly jolted: "General, General Phillips."In the main hall of the Byner residence, a slender, delicate man dressed in a formal black vest swiftly entered.Noticing that Mr. Wright was unreliable, Steve quickly approached the man and greeted: "General Phillips."General Phillips respectfully said to Steve: "Mr. Byner, I heard that someone attacked the Byner residence last night?""I have brought a team of three hundred people. We will definitely eliminate the criminals for the Byner family."Nume
Aaron, his mouth still gagged, frantically struggled at the mention of execution. Steve looked like he'd seen a ghost, muttering in disbelief: "No... it can't be..."Suddenly, with a mixture of desperation and madness, he managed to draw a concealed gun: "Even in death, I'll drag you down with me." he growled, aiming at Ethan.BANG!The onlookers gasped, many nearly choked in shock. Steve Byner, the patriarch, had gone mad, daring to shoot at the general.Yet, even before Steve could pull the trigger, Ethan had seen it. With graceful agility, he dodged the bullet. Immediately, three consecutive shots rang out from the distance - a sniper's precision. Steve, the deranged assailant, lay lifeless in an instant."All the rest will be detained and, after trial, executed." Ethan declared coldly. He left the room with the cement bag, disappearing into the night breeze, with Samuel and Savannah trailing behind. A battalion of over a thousand followed in formation.They moved to the ancestral
On this day, a unique rendezvous was set between Samuel and Ethan. Ethan had imagined some pressing matter to be discussed, but to his surprise, Samuel was accompanied by a dog strikingly resembling Rowan. "Great Emperor," Ethan began with an intrigued tone. "Who might this be?" Samuel, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, answered, "In truth, this canine shares blood with Rowan. They're twin brothers. Meet Caradoc, the younger sibling." "When you once asked me to bring a hunting dog, I was at sixes and sevens on whom exactly to present. And now that Rowan is no more... Perhaps, this is destiny's bidding. Would you care to take him home?" Samuel's voice softened with an underlying melancholy. Ethan was taken aback by this revelation. Upon bringing Caradoc home, the little lass's astonishment was palpable. Though aware of Rowan's demise, she was momentarily staggered by the uncanny resemblance of this new companion. Subsequently, Ethan escorted her to Rowan's grave. She tenderly
Basil ardently desired to liberate his daughter from her current shackles as swiftly as the winds of destiny could carry. The urgency to finalize the divorce was palpable.Thus, only then could he genuinely entrust her to Ethan's care.Philip, with haste in his voice, proclaimed: "All is prepared, all is ready! Whenever the time is right, just signal to me.""I stand prepared to join you in the prison at any moment to sign the divorce papers with my son-in-law." he continued, determination evident in his words.Scarlet and Amanda, like two souls awakening from a dense fog, slowly absorbed the gravity of it all, realizing that these events were no mere illusions.Ethan, it appeared, was not merely full of empty words – he was sincere.Given this revelation, they would no longer remain in bewildered inaction.Scarlet, exhaling a sigh of relief, jubilantly voiced: "Indeed, kindred spirits always find each other. I believe you should divorce forthwith, and then wed Ethan."Deep within, Lo
This way, the Londyn Corporation would never step foot into the All Sea market and challenge their piece of the pie.The fledgling company would be forever trapped within the confines of New Single, never taking even half a step out.Of course, there would always be those who would dangle the olive branch, claiming that a collaboration would grant them entry into the All Sea market.Upon grasping the full situation, the Londyn sisters, Amanda, and Scarlet clenched their fists until they were white, gritting their teeth in anger."What... What do we do now?" a junior executive finally voiced the collective anxiety permeating the room.The entire company was awash in a palpable tension and uncertainty.If this continued, their young enterprise would undoubtedly suffer a catastrophic blow.With a resounding slam on the table, Londyn decided to take the bull by the horns.Her eyes held unwavering determination: "We have no way out now.""I will personally go to All Sea and negotiate a col
