By the time Ethan reached home, evening had settled. Amanda Fred lounged about the mansion, wallowing in boredom.Upon Ethan's arrival, she instantly pestered him to teach her martial arts.Having been preoccupied of late, he hadn't had the time. But now, Ethan imparted a few moves.Seeing her in short shorts, a high ponytail, executing each move with precision, Ethan nodded in approval.She was a fast learner, destined to become a martial arts maestro soon.That night, Londyn was in high spirits, a radiant smile gracing her face.She occasionally expressed to Ethan her astonishment at the sudden change in demeanor of her old schoolmates during their recent gathering.Their attitudes had transformed to warmth and respect, a stark contrast from that day at the karaoke bar.Curiously, she wondered if something transpired on the night she was inebriated.Ethan smirked and shook his head.He playfully suggested that perhaps after he outdrank them, their earlier arrogance had vanished in a
"Who would have thought? My very own Sean James has been embezzling company funds for quite some time, and not a single cent is retrievable now!" "The clock has ticked past twelve, and because of the colossal loan, the interest doubles daily." "At this moment, the combined principal and interest have reached a staggering 500 million..." "They've taken my mother, threatening to slice off her fingers..." By the tale's end, tears streamed down Londyn's beautiful face. Ethan's heart raced, disbelief coursing through his veins. He never anticipated the scenes he'd imagined during the auction would materialize in real life. At that time, he had felt the James family lacked the means to bid high for that necklace! "Do you now seek to negotiate with the loan sharks?" Londyn's head bobbed up and down vigorously in agreement. "I shall accompany you." With those words, Ethan sprang from the bed, dressing hurriedly. Once inside the car, their Maserati accelerated with fervor. "My mothe
The siblings worked tirelessly through the night, but with the first light of dawn, the James mansion's door was abruptly kicked open. A band of menacing thugs, wielding cudgels and clubs, stormed in. The sight of this sent shivers down the spines of the mansion’s stewards, who quickly alerted the patriarch of the James family, Pierce James. "Who are you all?" "How dare you intrude into private property? Do you want me to call the police this instant?" Pierce James, alongside the younger members of the eminent James lineage, locked their eyes intently on the figures before them. The outcome was foreboding; the man leading the opposing faction brazenly displayed stocks certificates and debt papers, a malevolent grin twisting his features. "The James household, I presume? Here lie the stock certificates of the James Conglomerate. Feast your eyes." Stepping forth, Pierce scrutinized the documents, and his visage instantly contorted in disbelief. "James... Lily owes 500 million an
Once it was confirmed that Ethan could indeed replace her in the gruesome act of finger-chopping, a maniacal glee overcame Lily. "I'll deceive them all!" she exclaimed. She then hastily rang Londyn, feeding her a fabricated tale of a failed 100 million deal, and the impending doom awaiting her in the subterranean bar. She begged for both Londyn and Ethan's intervention. ... Inside the opulent chambers of Wind Isle's Chamber of Commerce, Toby received a call from the bald moneylender. "Young master Lopez, just as you predicted, that woman is trying to use her precious son-in-law as a pawn." "Excellent!" Toby laughed gleefully. "Tomorrow, send me the video of his fingers being chopped off." Across the table, Issac joined in the laughter: "You truly are a genius, ha ha ha!" "By doing this, not only can we deal with that wretched woman, but we can also severely torment that arrogant brat. Brilliant, simply brilliant!" ... After investigating throughout the day, Ethan finally stu
The harrowing screams echoed throughout the three subterranean levels. Little did they anticipate that Ethan could so casually command the usually arrogant and imperious Vincent. Once the brawl seemed relatively subdued, Ethan signaled with a casual wave and approached the battered bald man, looking down at him in dominance. "Ready to talk now?" The bald man's once discernible features were now grotesquely distorted. Lying twisted in agony on the cold ground, he pleaded in utter terror upon seeing Ethan: "Speak, speak, I'll tell you everything. Just stop the beating!" Positioning himself regally on a large chair, Ethan awaited the confession. "It was all orchestrated by Toby from the Lopez clan... We simply couldn’t refuse him." This revelation indeed resonated with their prior investigations. Amused, Ethan looked into a camera, a mischievous grin playing on his lips: "So, he wanted you to record the mutilation of my fingers?" The bald man, gasping in horror, managed a nod. W
Each time she envisioned Ethan being treated with such brutality, tears carved deep trails on her face.This cruelty was inflicted on him because of her mother. Would it be sheer selfishness on her part if she knew and didn’t agree?Yet, every time the disconcerting demand of Toby crossed her mind, she felt that consenting would be an ordeal even worse than death itself.Ethan... What should I do?Seeing Londyn's hesitation, Toby feigned impatience. His brows knitting, he uttered: "I never expected such dishonesty from you all. If that's the case, forget it!"Having said this, he stood up, gripping the check, ready to depart.Witnessing this, Lily immediately exclaimed: "Londyn, you cannot be this selfish!""Do you intend to doom Ethan?"The mere statement: "Do you want to kill Ethan?" left Londyn completely aghast.Memories flooded her mind - times of crisis when this very man would invariably appear as her knight in shining armor.Over the days, he had aided her through countless tr
In an opulent room on the 50th floor of the Star Hotel.Observing the still-struggling woman, Toby Lopez's entire body burned with impatience and anticipation."So, what will it be? Seems you've yet to grasp the meaning of regret." he taunted.Pretending to make a call, he ordered: "Baldie, sever the kid's leg for me!""No!" The sheer horror almost caused Londyn to faint.Noting the effectiveness of his pressure tactics, Toby's lips twisted into a sinister grin: "Do it at once. I want to watch the video!"London echoed with tension. Londyn's face was an ashen palette, her tears tracing endless paths down her cheeks."I... I... I agree with you.""You must order them to cease immediately!"She was defeated.Surrender was etched in her eyes.Every fleeting thought of Ethan potentially being harmed brought her a pain so profound, it pierced her very soul.Yet, she had agreed.With a smirk, Toby commanded: "All of you, halt for now."He pocketed his phone, his eyes greedily taking in the
The news sent shockwaves through the Lopez household – Toby was incapacitated, and their fury was palpable!Moses Lopez, the esteemed patriarch of the Lopez lineage, vowed to hunt down the perpetrator.Elsewhere, Austin Nelson and Issac of Wind Isle Chamber of Commerce bristled with anger.Issac's resentment bubbled over. Earlier, he had jestingly conversed with Toby about tormenting Ethan and scheming to obtain the elusive lady Londyn.Yet, in just one unforeseen night, Toby was rendered powerless.Now, Issac stood as the sole bearer of this tale, convinced Ethan was the mastermind.He hastily confided everything to Austin Nelson, exclaiming: "Young Master Nelson, we must avenge Toby!""All Toby endeavored for was to aid your brother in winning that woman!""What might does this Ethan possess to reduce Toby to such a state!"Austin's visage darkened, a chilling resolve evident."I've learned from certain discreet channels." he began."Days ago, at the All Sea KTV, someone recognized
“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
