Betrayed Conglomerate Husband

Chapter 3: Bad Luck

At this point, Ethan continued to look for Torin in every corner of the alley. There were several shabby tents there, and Ethan didn't have the slightest hesitation in taking them down and destroying them.

He didn't care whether these homeless people would get caught in the rain or not. He didn't care whether they felt annoyed or sad. What is clear is that there is only one goal, namely to find Torin and take the money back! He wouldn't let Torin enjoy those 400 thousand dollars for himself!

With that money, Ethan can do many things! He could have a lively party with his friends, and could also buy a lot of mid-range wine for them to enjoy together. He will get a lot of praise from his friends.

Therefore, fuck with these homeless! He would destroy every tent he saw to find Torin's hiding place!

After a long search, Ethan finally saw Torin in the distance.

Torin was currently sitting with a gloomy face behind the trash can. Ethan could see disgusting rats surrounding him, some were even trying to bite his head.

Of course, seeing Torin was like finding a treasure. Ethan immediately ran towards him with a ferocious face, ready to swallow and destroy Torin!

However, his steps had to be stopped when hundreds of burly men with scary appearances rushed past him with hasty steps. Their faces looked very panicked, as if they had just received news that their mother had died.

In fact, when one of them hit Ethan's shoulder and almost made him fall, the burly man ignored him as if he was just grass!

Of course, Ethan was annoyed. He felt humiliated! However, remembering the scary faces and burly bodies they had, Ethan could only express it in his mind.

Ethan didn't know their purpose in entering this narrow and dirty alley. Did they find any treasure in this area?

But... Why now, Bastards?! You have prevented me from capturing Torin!

Moreover, they seemed to be clustered right where Torin was. This is really annoying!

At this point, Ethan, who could currently only wait with an impatient expression, suddenly heard someone's voice saying loudly, "We have arrived, Young Master. We're here to pick you up!"

Hearing that, Ethan was surprised. They didn't come to this place to look for treasures, but to pick up a Young Master?

Now it all made sense why they looked so panicked. Someone in such an important position was in a shabby place like this? Of course they wouldn't let the Young Master get dirty and smelly! This would probably tarnish their group's good name, and there was a big possibility that the burly men would be fired!

At this point, apart from being curious about Torin's current condition, Ethan was also curious about the figure of the Young Master in question. To be honest, he didn't see anyone other than Torin in the area. Did he see wrongly? Was there actually someone else there?

He didn't know for sure. What is clear, Ethan is very sure that Torin is currently urinating because he is holding back extraordinary fear. Surrounded by such burly and scary men, Ethan wasn't even confident he could survive.

However, those thoughts soon disappeared when he saw Torin walking back while surrounded by the burly men. He could even see an old man who looked authoritative and dignified, looking at Torin with a polite and pleasant expression.

What really happened?! Why do they look so respectful towards stupid and poor Torin?!

Feeling very curious about that, Ethan naturally said, "Torin, w-what is actually going on here?"

Hearing that, everyone stopped simultaneously. They immediately turned their gaze towards Ethan with intimidating faces. Of course, daring to call the Young Master by just his name, that was a grave offense! This man deserves to be put to death!

However, of course the decision is in Torin's hands! Since Torin had not conveyed any orders, they could currently only wait.

At this point, Torin looked at Ethan with an annoyed face. Then, he turned his gaze towards Jacob, then asked, “What do you think about someone trying to beat me up, Jacob? What kind of punishment is appropriate for them?"

Of course, they don't have to be smart to guess what's really going on.

Does this weak looking young man want to beat up the Young Master?! Does he want to seek death?!

At this point, immense killing intent immediately filled the area. The burly man who previously accidentally bumped into Ethan's shoulder began to regret that he only thought of Ethan as useless grass! He should have killed Ethan right then and there! He was currently smiling bitterly, as if he had committed a grave sin!

Receiving all that pressure, Ethan shivered. He naturally urinated and knelt down with a pale face. This pressure gave him the feeling that the grim reaper's scythe was hanging around his neck.

“Wh-who are they, Torin? Wh-who are you really?!" Ethan asked breathlessly. The extreme fear he felt right now naturally made him question that.

Of course, Torin didn't want to answer Ethan's question. Ethan deserves all of this!

In the end, Torin just stared at Jacob's face, waiting for his answer.

"For the perpetrators of that, the lightest punishment for them is the death penalty, Young Master. With just a few orders from you, we will do it quickly. You don't need to worry about the law. We have full control over it, so you don't have to accept any consequences!" Jacob said in a respectful tone.

Hearing that, both Torin and Ethan were shocked.

Death penalty?! Isn't that too much?!

Even though Torin hated Ethan very much, he wouldn't be that cruel either!

What kind of people did my father raise?! Why are they too barbaric and savage?!

Of course, Torin wouldn't want to do that! A person's life is not that easily taken away!

Hence, Torin simply replied, "There's no need to overdo it. Can you just beat him until he can barely walk?"

Hearing that, Jacob immediately replied, "As per your order, Young Master!"

At this point, the burly man who had previously bumped into Ethan's shoulder, immediately took the first step. He felt that it was his duty!

Seeing the burly man striding towards him, Ethan naturally shouted. His face immediately turned paler, as if he was a corpse.

“W-what do you want to do?! Hey... Stop right there! Torin, please stop this man! Please ask him to stop! I beg you... I promise I will do good..."

However, the burly man immediately covered Ethan's mouth. He wouldn't let Ethan say more things, thus making the Young Master change his mind! To dare beat up the Young Master, he would not just let this stupid young man off! At least, let me hobble you for a few days.
