Witnessing the nurse shake her head and sigh, Ethan's heart pounded. However, upon hearing Tazanna's situation wasn't too dire, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
Although they had just met and Tazanna had caused him to be misunderstood and beaten by thugs, Ethan couldn't help but hope she would pull through this ordeal as he wanted to ask more about her condition.A group of bodyguards in black vests quickly approached the operating room. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a stern, cold expression.Seeing these imposing individuals rush in, Ethan couldn't help but worry about their identities. However, it didn't take long for the angry voice of the leading man to address the two bodyguards next to him."What on earth happened? Why was my daughter stabbed and hospitalized?"The man's voice wasn't loud but carried an authority that left no room for defiance, startling the two bodyguards. One of them hurriedly began to explain."Boss, the situation was completely unexpected. We never thought anyone would dare to attack the young lady. We..."Before the bodyguard could finish, the middle-aged man cut him off with a cold stare."I didn't ask for an explanation. I just want to know who did this. And why did they dare to attack my daughter?"Witnessing the middle-aged man's menacing gaze that seemed to want to devour someone, the bodyguard was genuinely scared, his pupils involuntarily contracting.The bodyguard beside him seemed to notice something, pointing at Ethan and exclaiming in surprise: "Boss, it's him!"The middle-aged man didn't even have time to listen to the bodyguard's following words. His eyes had already become cold and ruthless as they locked onto Ethan.Under the direct stare of the man, Ethan felt as if the blood in his veins had frozen. Despite the chilly night at the hospital, he was drenched in a cold sweat."Boss, he's the one who was with the young miss and brought her to the hospital!""Uh-huh!"Seeing the middle-aged man's gaze on Ethan, the bodyguard was afraid the man would misunderstand, so he hastily explained. The man then withdrew his intimidating gaze, uttering a soft sound of acknowledgment."So, you're the one who brought my daughter to the hospital?"Although Ethan knew this man was not a good person, he politely nodded and replied: "Yes, sir! I'm the one who brought your daughter to the hospital!""And what is your relationship with my daughter?""Well... we don't have a relationship, we just happened to meet on the street!""Is that so?"Continuously being questioned by the middle-aged man felt like an interrogation, and Ethan's expression became somewhat uncomfortable. One of the two bodyguards beside the man whispered something into his ear.After a moment, the tension on the man's face eased, and he offered a warm smile, approaching Ethan: "I apologize for my rudeness just now. I was overly worried about my daughter and didn't mean disrespect. Please forgive me!"If Ethan hadn't seen the man's fierce expression earlier, he would've thought the man was a kind and approachable person upon seeing his current smile. However, having seen the man's true face, Ethan remained silent. His gaze lingered momentarily before he tried to find an excuse to leave.But the operating room door opened at that moment, and all the surgeons left. Ethan's steps involuntarily halted. The middle-aged man, anxious, approached a surgeon, grabbing his arm and asking with concern: "Doctor, how's my daughter? Is she in any danger?"Initially, the doctor was unhappy about being pulled by someone after just finishing surgery. But upon seeing the middle-aged man's face, he became slightly frightened and quickly showed respect, bowing his head and speaking."Mr. Smith, your daughter is alright, and we have successfully performed the surgery on her. However, her situation is somewhat complicated, so family members are temporarily prohibited from visiting. Please understand our hospital's position. Once we have specific results, we will report back to you!"Upon hearing the doctor's words, the middle-aged man's movements paused. He then took a ten-million-dollar check from his pocket and handed it to the doctor."Here is a ten-million-dollar check. You and your team can take it as a bonus. As long as you can save my daughter safely, this amount is just the beginning, and I will reward you even more!"Seeing the large sum of money, the doctor hesitated before pushing the check back to the middle-aged man and shaking his head."Mr. Smith, we know you are wealthy, but this is our responsibility, and we cannot accept your money! Please excuse us!"After saying this, the doctor tried to leave, but the middle-aged man firmly stuffed the check into the doctor's pocket. He then patted the doctor's shoulder and smiled."Don't worry! This is a reward I'm giving to you all. Even your director wouldn't dare to say a word. Besides, I still need you to care for my daughter's health. This little amount of money is nothing!"The middle-aged man was so insistent that the doctor had no choice but to accept the check. He then bowed slightly to the man and expressed his gratitude."Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your generosity towards our medical team! However, I will not keep this money for myself. Instead, I will use it for the hospital's charity fund. I hope you won't object!"Hearing the doctor's words, the middle-aged man didn't get angry and laughed heartily."Ha ha ha, how could I object to that? I should be thank your hospital instead!"Seeing the middle-aged man agree to his request, the doctor smiled contentedly and left with his medical team.Ethan, who had witnessed everything, had a rare glint in his eyes.'Not everyone in this world is evil!'However, as soon as this thought appeared, a deep voice made his spirit return to normal."Young man, I don't know why you saved my daughter, and I don't know your purpose in approaching her. But let me tell you, Wynstan Smith's daughter is not so easily oppressed. I will not let you off if I find out you have other intentions!"Initially, saving someone's life shouldn't come with the expectation of gratitude. However, after witnessing the man's swift change of demeanor, faster than the flip of a hand, Ethan couldn't help but feel uneasy.Of course, he didn't save Tazanna for money or any favor from this man. At the very least, the man should have shown some sincerity and offered thanks for saving his daughter. Instead, how he treated Ethan differed significantly from how he had just treated the hospital doctor.Nonetheless, Ethan didn't harbor any ill intentions, so he ignored Wynstan's threatening words and responded indifferently: "I just happened to come across your daughter on the street. If you think I saved her for some ulterior motive, let me be frank – not everyone in this world is as wicked as you imagine. While I may be poor in wealth, I'm not poor in morals like you. Excuse me, and I have to go now."After saying this, Ethan resolutely turned and left, disregarding Wynstan's furious gaze.At this
However, no matter how Mabel tried to persuade her, Melanie stubbornly refused to put the knife down. In her anger, the knife was even pressed closer to her throat, leaving a cut that caused blood to drip onto the blade.Finally, Ethan could no longer hold back and spoke up."Melanie, I know you never loved me, and our marriage was just a misunderstanding. Now that you no longer want to be with me, I've given you freedom. What are you still doing this for?""Who told you I don't love you? Who told you I wanted to marry someone else? Why are you treating me like this? Do you know how much my child and I need you?"In her uncontrollable fury, Melanie screamed, leaving everyone present dumbfounded."Your child and you?"However, what caught Ethan's attention the most was this statement. He hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the knife in Melanie's hand, and anxiously asked: "Do you mean you're pregnant with my child?""I don't have a child with you, so whose could it be?""No, I mean... I mea
"Are you all family members of the patient Bahjat Edwards in emergency room number seven? Mr. Bahjat has been taken to the intensive care unit. Our hospital deeply regrets having to inform you that his condition is beyond saving. We hope you can take the time to see him one last time!"A hospital nurse entered the room and gave the news to everyone. The atmosphere suddenly turned icy and suffocating.Immediately after, Mabel's voice trembled."How could this happen? How could this be? Didn't you say that surgery would save him? Why couldn't you save him? Why couldn't you save him?"The louder Mabel spoke, the more her voice echoed through the hospital corridor. At this point, Melanie completely collapsed, falling from the bed and fainting.Fortunately, Ethan quickly caught her before she hit the edge of the bed.Meanwhile, Toshan's expression was very gloomy, as if deep in thought.At that moment, only Ethan remained calm. He looked at the nurse and softly said,"Nurse, please help me
Ring… ring…As Ethan waited for the organization’s representative to arrive, he suddenly received a phone call from his former company. After answering the ring, he turned to Mabel and her mother and said: “Mother-in-law, I need to step out for a bit! Please try to be strong. I promise I’ll find a way to save my father-in-law!”“Get lost! You’re useless! What good can you do by staying here?” Although she was sobbing, Mabel became furious upon hearing Ethan’s comforting words, as if she wanted to vent her anger on him.Ethan reluctantly sighed, gently patted his wife’s back, and whispered: “Melanie, don’t worry. I’ll figure out a way to save your father.” After that, he took advantage of the moment and left, while Melanie believed her husband was trying to console her.Not long after Ethan left the hospital, a commotion suddenly erupted outside. At that moment, helicopter engines echoed on the hospital rooftop. Before everyone’s astonished eyes, a military helicopter descended and la
Her name was Victoria Smith, a former junior at Pacific University, where Ethan studied. They were once a golden couple at the university, admired by countless people. However, no one expected Ethan to suddenly be kicked out of the Alexander family, while Victoria dropped out of school to settle abroad.This incident once became a hot topic of gossip at the university, with many students discussing and sharing the story.Today, seeing Victoria appear here, Ethan couldn’t help but recall a part of his memory that he didn’t want to relive again.“Why can’t I be here? This is my father’s company, and today I’m here to assume the temporary vice-presidency position he left behind. As for you, a once-prominent heir of the Alexander family, now reduced to working as a security guard at a shopping center? I even heard that you married into the Edwards family?”Facing Victoria’s scrutinizing gaze, Ethan couldn’t help but feel a little mysterious. He quickly shook his head and intended to turn
Lloyd’s eyes widened in sheer horror at this moment, never imagining that the female officer would dare to shoot. Moreover, her gun muzzle was only a few centimeters away from his crotch.“You... you dared to shoot me?”Although the gunshot didn’t hit him, seeing the smoking muzzle, Lloyd’s legs involuntarily trembled, with some dampness appearing below his crotch.Ethan, witnessing this scene, was also shocked and stiffened.“I’ll remind you once more. All of you sit down and immediately put your hands on your heads. Anyone who defies my orders, the next shot will not be a warning!”The female officer glanced at Lloyd’s group and sternly spoke to Ethan.“And you? Sit down and put your hands on your head too!”Although he knew he hadn’t done anything wrong, Ethan could only endure and decided to sit down and follow her instructions.“Hmph!”Seeing Ethan’s expression, the female officer snorted disdainfully. Ethan remained silent, wondering what grudge this officer had against him.“Al
Returning to the hospital, Ethan saw it was already 5 PM, leaving just over two hours until his appointment with Victoria. However, his mood was far from good.He had wanted to forget about the Alexander family. Still, today, Ethan felt enraged by the image of his mother pushed off a cliff by the wicked Emersyn Miller and learning that her son wasn’t his father’s biological child. He wanted to quickly return and ensure the crooked woman and her child received the punishment they deserved.“Ethan, where have you been all day? My father just had surgery, and the doctor said his health is improving significantly. In a few days, he’ll wake up quickly!”When Ethan entered the room, he heard his wife’s slightly scolding voice. However, a distressing sight caught his eye before his expression could relax, causing his eyebrows to furrow.“Son-in-law Toshan, without your help this time, my husband might not have survived. You could even invite a foreign doctor to treat him only because of your
Ring... ring...Just as Toshan’s gaze was captivated by Suri’s departing figure, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. With astonishment, he took out the latest iPhone model and saw that the caller was the chairman of the Outstanding Development financial group.“Hello, this is Director Toshan speaking. What is the reason for your call, Mr. Chairman?”Before Toshan could finish, an angry voice erupted from the phone.“Damn it! What the hell have you done? Do you have any idea who just called me? You almost got me kicked off my chairman’s seat because of your actions! Do you understand, you bastard?”After scolding him for a while, the chairman’s tone became somewhat conciliatory.“I don’t know who you’ve offended, but you’d better apologize to them. If not, don’t bother coming back to the company. Go as far away as possible, and never return!”Upon hearing these words, Toshan’s face paled. He knew that the latter would not have necessarily said such things if it weren’t for the c
“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
