Before marrying into the Edwards family, Ethan had encountered Callie Edwards many times. Furthermore, she had forged the bond between Ethan and Melanie even more substantial, even closer. In addition, the girl was gorgeous, in no way inferior to her cousin."Sorry, it's been a while since I last heard from you, so I momentarily didn't recognize you. But where are you now? Can I invite you to a nice meal to compensate for my mistake?""Hee hee, my brother-in-law is the best! For now, I'll forgive you this once!"The girl's bell-like laughter momentarily made many worries in Ethan's heart fly away. Immediately after, he handed over all the problems related to the Alexander Group to the system to handle itself. As for himself, he went out, planning to stroll around town with Callie."Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I'm here!"Standing by the roadside was a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. Dressed in a pink lotus-colored dress with two beautifully braided pigtails on her head,
"So, who are you exactly? Why have you come looking for me?!" Ethan couldn't hold back anymore, finally voicing the questions buried in his heart. However, just as Ethan was about to respond, Moon's eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly. "Humph, whatever rat is hiding, show yourself now!"Moon's words were directed at someone unknown. But following her gaze, Ethan suddenly noticed. Unbeknownst to him, several shadowy figures had emerged behind him. Judging by their intimidating stance, they certainly bore ill intent."Who exactly are you? Why are you meddling in our Assassin League's affairs?" A somewhat older man clad in black questioned Moon. But Moon's eyes were full of contempt as she glanced at those in black."Assassin League? What kind of ragtag organization is that? Why have I never heard of it before?""You…" The black-clad figures were enraged by Moon's words. But as they began to respond, the black-clad leader suddenly exclaimed in terror."Damn it, she's a master of the Heave
"Indeed, we just need to figure out her whereabouts. We can surely make her reveal her background!" As she uttered these words, a spark of excitement flashed in Rose's eyes. To be sure, she was a bit frightened at the mention of Moon's capabilities just now. However, after some analysis, she felt confident that Moon must be using some dark magic. Otherwise, how could she be so formidable, right? "Exactly, it must be so!" Comforting herself with this thought, Rose's expression grew even more resolute. Meanwhile, at the Wenger City airport, the appearance of singer Alina sent the entire airport into a frenzy. Numerous domestic and foreign fans turned towards the airport to welcome their star. However, Alina seemed a tad disappointed. The person she wished to see had yet to show up here."Alina, are you ready?" Suddenly, a woman's voice rang in her ear, startling Alina. But when she turned her head, her face relaxed upon recognizing the woman."Thank goodness you're here to pick me u
Once again, Alina's actions rendered Ethan utterly speechless. He was still determining whether this was a Western custom. At this moment, Alina leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Afterward, she vanished from the conference room as swiftly and subtly as a sweet-scented breeze.However, the most stunned individual at this moment had to be Doctor Suri. She had known Alina for quite some time and remembered how she used to be terrified of strangers. Her fear lessened only when she started to perform on stage.Nonetheless, Doctor Suri could never have imagined that Alina would take the initiative to give her first kiss to Ethan: "Boss, boss! We're in trouble! Our mansion has just been attacked!"Ethan was dealing with some documents concerning recent issues caused by the Outstanding Development Corporation in his office. Suddenly, Rose burst in, her face showing utter panic.Ethan's eyelids twitched, and he sprang to his feet: "What happened?" "We don't have time. Follow me back to t
As if reading Ethan's thoughts, Moon ceased her laughter then and returned to seriousness, speaking, "My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Moon, and I am a member of the Spirit Tribe. The ancient tribes I mentioned are, in fact, very old families that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. However, due to a great disaster on Earth, all the spirit energy on this planet was depleted and vanished. Thus, most Ancient Tribes retreated into the time realm, temporarily sealing their gates until today. Sensing the turmoil in the time realm, it seems as if something terrifying wants to emerge. Therefore, the time realm opened once again, and all the descendants of the ancient tribes are once again summoned outwards."Hearing Moon's explanation, a surge of emotion welled up inside Ethan. He had once thought that there must be a horrifying secret hidden on this planet. However, he couldn't imagine that humans had appeared more than a hundred million years ago and that Earth
"Allow me to introduce ourselves. This gentleman here is Paisley, a distinguished apothecary in our clan. The young girl here is Adeline, a distant relative of mine. As for this person, I suppose you both already know who he is, don't you?" Valeria naturally took the lead in introducing the trio. However, when introducing Ethan, his voice carries a hint of profound implication, causing both Paisley and Adeline to turn their gaze on Ethan, examining him several times.Indeed, the intent of these people's visit was crystal clear. They wished to extract Ethan's method for creating a particular medicinal potion. Hence, Valeria had bro along Paisley, a highly reputable elder, and a master apothecary.After the round of introductions, Ethan made some assumptions internally. However, he wanted to avoid showing it outwardly and curiously observed the three for a while. "If I am not mistaken, you are an ancient tribe that has been in seclusion for many years, aren't you?"To Ethan's accurate
Ethan, of course, had noticed that Valeria had a space storage object on him. However, Ethan also had such an item far superior to Valeria's as the system made it."You... How did you also get a space storage object?"At this point, Valeria could no longer remain calm. He should understand that even in ancient tribes, space-storage objects were extremely scarce. Because years ago, the spiritual energy had decayed, making it impossible to create many items.Yet, Ethan, a mortal being, although somewhat more substantial than some members of the ancient tribe, shouldn't have owned such a space storage object, should he?Naturally, Ethan did not bother to explain but merely smiled and casually rubbed the ring on his hand."I have many more valuable things at my disposal. If you are willing to return my daughter, I can assure you that whatever you desire, I can offer!"Ethan did not beat around the bush this time but directly stated his conditions. Instantly, the atmosphere in the room bec
In the past, there were over a hundred clans in the ancient race. Among them, their Lunar Clan was always one of the most powerful. However, when the spiritual energy began to wane, all clans moved into the realm of space. From that point, the era of the Lunar Clan started to decline. From leading hundreds of lines, they dwindled day by day. Until now, their Lunar Clan is only considered one of the bottom-tier clans. Yet, exposing this fact to outsiders made Valeria deeply uncomfortable. "Hmph, even if our Lunar Clan ranks at the bottom, we're still better off than your Spirit Clan. Aren't you all currently living among humans?" Upon hearing Valeria's words, Moon's face subtly changed. Even Ethan began to harbor doubts. However, Moon responded swiftly, her face breaking into a cold smile."Enough with the nonsense. If you three don't want to die, bow down and beg me. I'll get you out of here." This time, it was Ethan's turn to be furious. He didn't understand Moon's confidence bu
