While pursuing Charlie outside, the sound of gunfire made Rose shudder. At that moment, Rose's footsteps abruptly halted. Her eyes focused intently, looking towards the room from where the gunfire erupted."These people, they have the audacity to carry guns?!"Mumbling to herself, an aura of lethal intent radiated from Rose. Simultaneously, her steps quickly turned towards the room where Ethan and others were standing, and she rushed over.At this moment, the atmosphere inside the room felt oddly eerie. Selena, who had stepped in to stop the shooting, was not as imagined, struck down by a bullet. Her expression was one of shock, as if she could not believe what her eyes were seeing, her hand covering her mouth, her eyes wide open without blinking.Meanwhile, Tarub's face was filled with horror, continuously retreating several steps back. The gun in his hand was visibly trembling, and he stuttered, unable to articulate a word."Why... why... how can this be..."From his words, Tarub's
This time, the city's mayor really wanted to beat his son to death. If it weren't for the legal consequences, he would have done it already.His foolish son had done nothing but cause trouble in his name, hanging out with a group of useless friends and never achieving anything worthwhile. Although these actions angered him, he couldn't bring himself to disown his only child and heir.But now, the situation before him terrified him. Just by looking at the calm expression of the young man standing in front of him, the mayor's heart felt like it was tightening.This was because this young man's identity was untouchable. Not even a third-rate city mayor like him or a provincial leader would dare to speak out against him. Otherwise, their superiors wouldn't have called them to mobilize the city's entire force to assist this young man in capturing two dangerous criminals.And now, his stupid son had not only kidnapped the young man's daughter but also provoked him. Wasn't this basically say
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"Standing in the hospital corridor, Ethan glanced towards Victoria's ward as he conversed over the phone.His response was met with prolonged laughter, followed by the voice of a middle-aged woman."Ethan, can't you recognize your aunt's voice?"Hearing the voice of this woman, Ethan's face instantly turned cold. In his mind, the image of a wicked woman who was always intent on harming him quickly surfaced."What do you want?"At this point, Ethan was ready to hang up the phone. However, the woman's voice once again resounded."Tomorrow, at ten o'clock, come to Hamilton Hotel on Third Street. Then, I will tell you the reason behind your mother's death!"After uttering these words, the woman hung up, leaving Ethan in a thoughtful silence.At ten o'clock on Monday morning, Ethan, after rechecking Victoria's condition and having a conversation with Melanie over the phone, finally decided to drive Rose's black Audi towards the Hamilton Hotel, where
"Although you are quite formidable at the moment, to the extent that even my bodyguard can't handle you, I've come prepared. If anything happens to me, all the secrets related to your mother's death will forever be buried. Moreover, I hold something in my possession, something that will force you to obey me!"Up until this point, Emersyn's attitude hadn't wavered a bit. She dared to threaten him right to his face. This, Ethan found utterly perplexing. Did this woman not understand her current predicament?However, Ethan had a change of mind. He didn't want to directly confront her. His eyes subtly swept over the figure of his half-brother. Before him, a 3D screen quickly appeared, displaying all the information related to Maddox Alexander.Yet, as soon as he saw this, Ethan's face subtly changed. Then, his eyes filled with depth, he gazed at the mother and son."If I'm not mistaken, your son is currently battling terminal cancer. His health condition, I fear, can't withstand much dama
It was at this point that Ethan finally understood why they had become so excited. Yet, he himself was extremely astounded. He had never imagined that just as the system had finished analyzing the genetic modification drug's formula, the lab team had discovered the habitat of the Dragon Bone Grass.For Ethan, this was undoubtedly extremely good news. After all, the system could provide the formula, but without the necessary materials for experimentation, how could the medicine be produced?Hence, when Dr. Suri suggested it, he did not hesitate and immediately agreed to follow them out of the room.At that moment, in a room decorated in classic European style, a young man's face showed signs of fatigue, as if he had just completed a long journey. Furthermore, some wounds, with the blood not yet dried, were visible on his body.However, in the young man's hand was tightly clutched a red fruit, with no intention of letting go. Its appearance was nothing extraordinary, but upon closer ins
Upon hearing this, Ethan and his companions swiftly retreated from the ship's bow and entered the warship's control room. Inside, a long-range marine telescope was installed, allowing them to easily observe the tiniest objects, like coins, at distances of over 100km.However, when they looked at the island around 250 nautical miles away through the telescope, they could only see its exterior and not its interior."What's going on? Why can't we see anything on the island?"The researchers, initially exhilarated at spotting the island, reported the situation to Ethan. But discovering that their prized telescope, onto which they had expended substantial resources, couldn't observe anything on the island, they were on the verge of venting their frustration.Ethan, standing behind them, remained calm. He approached the telescope quietly, patting the shoulder of a scientist who was trying to view the island."Let me have a look."The scientist, already somewhat annoyed, stiffened at the une
At present, there were no medical supplies nearby. Moreover, Doctor Suri had once again fallen into a coma, leaving Ethan in an extreme rush, hastily heading towards the mainland.From an external view, this island was only a few dozen square kilometers wide. However, after carrying Doctor Suri from the rocky shore, Ethan realized that the island's area was much larger than it appeared, perhaps dozens of times more.Additionally, the island was extremely primitive. Other than a few areas covered in snow and ice, it was mainly rocky terrain. Furthermore, both Ethan and Rose were injured. Despite their swift movement while carrying Doctor Suri, they couldn't find a suitable place for the trio to rest.Hence, after running non-stop for more than half an hour, they were nearly exhausted. It was then they noticed a group of people gathered ahead. In front of these people was a pile of dry wood, ignited to warm their bodies.Their clothing was somewhat torn, and they appeared to be in a mis
Suddenly, the atmosphere became silent, and the tension was evident in everyone's eyes. However, before Ethan could respond, the ground beneath them started to shake violently."An earthquake?"Everyone yelled in fright. But the shaking didn't stop. In front of them, a white figure began to emerge, along with a dark spot that was rapidly approaching them."Isn't that a landslide?"Someone seemed to have an idea and cried out in horror. But then, their eyes widened in shock. Because the white figure wasn't a landslide, it was a giant polar bear.If someone had told them that they would see a polar bear that big, they would never have believed it. Because the bear was really huge, its body almost the size of a two-story building."Is... is this really a bear?"Someone couldn't help but swallow a lump in their throat, their stride faltering slightly. Concurrently, all the soldiers unsheathed their weapons, forming a protective circle around Ethan. Even Rose showed a stern countenance, re
