Ethan and Shelly discussed casually as they made their way toward the airport. The driver was really friendly and they began discussing among themselves as they drove. Nevertheless, when they reached a pretty lonely lane. A Jeep suddenly took over and blocked them with their car, then four guys wearing hoods and mask walked out of the cars with guns. They pointed it at car and started firing. Bullets rained down upon the car, shattering the windows and puncturing the tires. The deafening sound of gunfire filled the air, causing Shelly to scream in terror and later in pain as one of the bullets pierced through her hand. The driver, already overwhelmed by the shock of the situation, fainted on the driver wheel. 'Damn, is this robbery.' Ethan thought to himself with killing intent radiating from his eyes. He is strong but his defense was not that strong to withstand the power behind those bullets and those guns are heavy armory that can kill anyone. Ethan tried his best to ensur
The gunman died immediately after his neck was pinned down by Ethan.Realizing the urgency of the situation, Ethan quickly assessed the condition of Shelly and the unconscious driver.Both of them sustained really bad injuries during the shootout, and they were bleeding profusely, Shelly in particular.He knew that time was of the essence and that they needed immediate medical attention to prevent further harm.With a surge of adrenaline, Ethan gently placed Shelly in the backseat, making sure she was as comfortable as possible. He then hurried to the driver's seat, starting the car with a sense of urgency. The engine roared to life, and without wasting a moment, Ethan maneuvered the vehicle onto the road, racing toward the nearest hospital.The drive felt like an eternity as Ethan navigated through traffic, skillfully weaving between cars to avoid any delays. He kept one eye on the road and the other on Shelly and the driver, hoping they would hold on until they reached the hospital.
Arriving at the airport, Ethan found himself surrounded by the bustling atmosphere of travelers and airport staff. The adrenaline from the earlier events still coursed through his veins, but he knew he had to remain focused. He had a flight to catch to China, where he hoped to find the answers he desperately sought.After sorting things out with the workers at the airport, he finally got on the plane and had a safe flight to China.He has already informed the royal clan that he will be arriving, and the person at the other end has agreed to make provision for everything that Ethan will need throughout his stay in China until the meeting is over.Ethan mixed with the crowds at the airport; they were all Asians with their unique beauty and were friendly as well.As Ethan made his way through the crowd, a sleek black car pulled up beside him. Its windows were tinted, preventing anyone from seeing inside. A well-dressed chauffeur with a Chinese accent stepped out and opened the back door
The next morning quickly arrived. Two maids came into his room to call him for breakfast.Ethan freshened up and followed the maids down a grand hallway adorned with golden chandeliers and intricate paintings. The aroma of freshly brewed tea and delicacies filled the air as they approached the dining room.The dining room was a spacious area with a long, polished wooden table that could easily accommodate a dozen people. The table was set with fine porcelain plates, silverware, and crystal glasses, exuding an air of elegance and luxury.As Ethan took his seat, he marveled at the surroundings. The walls were adorned with silk tapestries depicting scenes from ancient Chinese folklore, and the room was bathed in natural light streaming through large windows overlooking the picturesque gardens.The maids began to serve the breakfast, starting with a variety of traditional Chinese dishes. Some of the dishes that were presented to Ethan included Peking Duck, ucculent slices of roasted duck

The prospect of witnessing a battle between the seven factions and the enigmatic guest filled the air with anticipation.The young leaders of each faction stepped forward, representing their respective clans, their eyes filled with determination and pride.Ethan stood among them, his heart pounding with adrenaline. He knew that this duel would be a chance for him to prove himself, showcase his martial arts skills, and earn the respect of the royal clan.He could feel the gaze of the other clan members on him, their skepticism and doubt lingering in the air.The first battle was about to commence. The members of the Red Hair Faction stepped forward, their fiery red hair contrasting against their black uniforms.Their person representing them, a tall and muscular man with intense crimson eyes, stepped into the center of the stage. His presence exuded power and confidence as he prepared to face off against another
As the signal to start the battle echoed through the stadium, Qin Wu wasted no time. He lunged forward with blinding speed, his movements like a gust of wind. Ethan barely had a chance to react before Qin Wu's strikes came raining down upon him.Ethan found himself on the defensive, desperately evading Qin Wu's lightning-fast punches and kicks. Each movement was a blur, and Ethan struggled to keep up with the relentless assault. He blocked, dodged, and parried, relying on his instincts and training to stay one step ahead.The crowd watched in awe as Qin Wu's attacks seemed to come from all directions, testing Ethan's reflexes and agility. But Ethan refused to yield. He focused his mind and body, finding his center amidst the storm of Qin Wu's onslaught.With each passing moment, Ethan's defense became more solid. He anticipated Qin Wu's movements, reading his patterns, and finding openings for counterattacks. Ethan's training kicked in, and his movements became more fluid, matching Qi
Kang Wu was the most satisfied after seeing Ethan fight with those martial artists.He knew from the moment he saw Mo Shen that he was a bright fella. Who would shock experts with his martial arts prowess.Someone who can step out of his peaceful zone to train at that time of the night is definitely not a small fry.He looked at Ethan with a smile on his face, and Qiao Lian also observed Ethan from where she was sitting.She wondered how he could be this strong without muscles; he even defeated the best of the best in a matter of minutes.She thought about something else and blushed."The board of royal elders would go in and discuss; we will be out after a decision is made." Kang Wu announced, and the elders entered a new room with soundproof structures.Ethan and Qiao Lian went with them because both of them are actually one of the reasons why the meeting was called in the first place."We can start judging now." Kang Wu said, and the other elders nodded their In their practice, th
Qiao Lian was a novel freak, she red a lot of romance novel on their way back. Most times she smiles but it was just brief ans after that she returns back to her usual cold self. Ethan have already arranged for a new place in the Goldlush city, it was a small mansion with a lot of space. He also ordered two more houses that cost more than three million dollar, one belonged to Shelly and the other was for Jude. But he hasn't made that known yet. He also bought a Lamborghini H67, the latest brand of Lamborghini that released this year. He asked Jude about their condition in the hospital. According to Jude, Shelly and the driver are okay but they are finding it hard to move because of the injury and Shelly seems to be forgetting a lot of things due to the shock and terror she felt when the guns were blazing back then. Qiao Lian made a remark when she heard his phone calls and interaction with Jude. She said the life of a martial artist is never peaceful when he asked her to expla
