“Arrest him, he's got a weapon. Don't let him get away!” the security guard pushed Ethan's body into a policeman.

Ethan glanced at the security guard. A smile of satisfaction was painted on his face. Followers of the creatures of darkness did have a very annoying nature. As devil worshipers, they would be possessed by demons and have various abilities.

To the Demon Hunter, they were still human beings. They are not allowed to be killed. However, they also always act as allies of the demons. Making it difficult for the Demon Hunters. Their suddenly blackened corneas were strong evidence that they had demons inside them.

The policeman grabbed Ethan's shoulder. “Move! Get in the car. I'll confiscate all the weapons you're carrying.”

Ethan walked into the police car, while the security guard smilingly waved his hand. Briefly, Ethan knew the security guard's plan. He wanted Ethan to be taken to the holding cell, so that the other dark beings there could gang up on Ethan. In short, the security guard actually didn't have enough power to beat Ethan at the moment, so he used the police as a tool.

The policeman drove the car quickly. He grimaced slightly when he saw Ethan's face through the rearview mirror. “So you're the one named Ethan Hunter?”

Ethan immediately glanced over. “You already know?”

The cop chuckled. He shook his head slightly, feeling satisfied to be able to see the bridge of Ethan's nose in this car. “Isn't this a coincidence? I got a report about you yesterday. And I arrested you right here. Edward will give me a lot of money.”

Ethan began to understand. The Chulkin family had many connections to the police. This cop was one of them. What Ethan didn't expect was that he would immediately encounter problems from two worlds. From the world of darkness and the world of humans.

Ethan remained calm. He exhaled and then leaned his body against the chair. There wasn't the slightest worry on his face. Which made the policeman wonder.

The cop glanced back at Ethan's eyes through the rearview mirror. “Huh, you're a poor and jobless man. You've already messed with Edward Chulkin, breaking his big toe. For someone like you to bring a sharp object to a car showroom, you're bound to commit a crime there, right?”

Ethan tilted his head. Even if Ethan revealed the true incident, Ethan would still be brought to the police station because of the report from Edward Chulkin. So, Ethan just smiled.

The policeman became annoyed with Ethan's response. He deliberately pulled over, then turned to Ethan angrily. “Don't you know who I am, Ethan Hunter? I'm deputy Rio Hansen. I could throw your ass in jail and let you get your ass kicked by the inmates there. The Chulkin family's power in the police department would make you a corpse in a heartbeat!”

Ethan nodded slowly. “I'm looking forward to it. Why don't you try it?”

Rio opened her eyes wide. He actually felt challenged by Ethan's words.

The policeman immediately looked back to the front, then drove the car faster than before. “Now I know why Edward Chulkin wanted to put you in jail so badly. You criminal son of a bitch!”

Moments later, Ethan was dragged into the police station roughly by Rio. The policeman then took his wallet and pushed Ethan's body into the temporary prison.

The people arrested that day looked at Ethan sharply. However, in an instant they shrank as they felt Ethan's sudden aura of dominance.

A police colleague of Rio's came up to Rio. “Who is he?”

Rio grinned. “He's that guy. The fool who dared to seek trouble with Edward Chulkin. He was caught carrying a sharp weapon into a car showroom. Isn't this a good catch, Karl?”

Karl immediately raised his eyebrows. He also felt that this was a good thing. If they reported this arrest to their superiors, they were sure to get a lot of money. After all, who wouldn't want to contribute to the Chulkin family? Even many of the superiors were affiliated with the family.

Rio showed the items he confiscated from Ethan. A silver knife, 4 packs of silver bullets, and a wallet. “Just hand these over as evidence, then he will definitely be arrested. Coupled with the report from Edward Chulkin, this guy will have no hope of getting out. So stupid.”

However, Karl's expression suddenly changed when he saw the knife and bullet pack. His eyes could not blink. His hand immediately grabbed the silver knife. “Wait, why do you have this weapon in your hand?”

Rio frowned. “Hey... that's evidence of a crime! You can't take it carelessly.”

Karl then turned to Ethan. Ethan's face looked very calm. In fact, Ethan casually sat down and leaned his back against the iron bars. Then, Ethan let out a mysterious little grin.

Karl immediately shuddered. He hurriedly grabbed Ethan's wallet, then he took a black card in the wallet.

Karl immediately took all the objects from Rio, which made Rio confused. Karl also glared at Rio. “Fool! Why did you bring him here?”

Rio immediately frowned. He was confused by Karl's actions. “What have I done? You yourself agree he's a good catch!”

Karl glared at Rio. “Release that man, then return all his belongings! Don't let the Lieutenant find out about this.”

Karl took the cell key, trying to open the door. Rio, who had gotten a little more money from the Chulkin family, stopped him. “Hey, Karl! Why are you doing this? He's our guy!”

Rio grabbed the key. Then an increasingly pale Karl was distracted as the Lieutenant approached them. “Oh, no!”

Rio, who saw the Lieutenant approaching, was eager to announce his catch. With a big smile he approached the Lieutenant. “Lieutenant Finn, do you remember the report that Edward Chulkin filed to arrest someone named Ethan Hunter? Good news, Lieutenant. I've done it successfully. In fact, he could get more charges for bringing a weapon into a car showroom.”

Lieutenant Finn looked toward the cell. He saw for himself that Ethan looked very calm. However, his eyes remained fixed on Lieutenant Finn. “Him?”

Rio nodded. “Yeah, he's the one. Look at what this punk is carrying, a knife.”

Rio showed the silver knife. Instantly the Lieutenant opened his eyes wide. Karl quickly approached and whispered to Lieutenant Finn. “Lieutenant, he has a license...”

Lieutenant Finn picked up the silver knife. Then he slammed it straight into Rio's face. “Idiot, don't you know what you're doing?”

Rio was of course shocked by this incident. He didn't know what he had done wrong to get hit in the face. “Lieutenant, why did I get hit?”

Lieutenant Finn broke out in a cold sweat. “Release him and apologize to him!”

Rio furrowed her brow. “Lieutenant, he's a criminal! How can he be released?”

Lieutenant Finn kicked Rio instead. “I don't want to know! Release him right now!”

Rio had never seen Lieutenant Finn that angry. He immediately did what Lt. Finn told him to do. He opened the cell door and let Ethan out.

With quiet steps, Ethan walked and stopped in front of Rio. Ethan's gaze was slightly higher than Rio's. “I haven't heard your apology, Rio.”

Rio clicked his tongue. “Why should I?”

The lieutenant hit Rio again, now on the back of his head. “Do it, you punk!”

Rio glanced at Lieutenant Finn with an angry look. At this point he didn't know where he went wrong. With a heavy breath, he began to speak. “I'm sorry.”

Ethan smiled slightly. He then walked past the Lieutenant's side. Before he left, he patted the Lieutenant's shoulder. “Good job, Lieutenant.”

Then Ethan left the place quietly.

After Ethan left, Karl and Lieutenant Finn could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Rio looked puzzled.

“Lieutenant, why would you let someone like that get away?”

Hearing the question, Lieutenant Finn immediately gave him a sharp look. “Fool! It's still a good thing he just walked away. You almost cost us all our lives!”

    Rio frowned. “I don't understand. What were you thinking, Lieutenant? You're letting the man who injured Edward Chulkin get away with it.”The lieutenant glanced sharply at Rio. With a firm step he approached the deputy with anger. “Listen, damn it! If you still love your life, stay away from people with black cards. Even if they carry a sharp weapon or a gun.”Rio tilted his head. He realized that he wasn't a completely honest cop. However, letting a civilian carry a weapon was not something that could be justified. “So, Lieutenant is saying that cops like us shouldn't bother people like that even if they hurt others?”The lieutenant shouted loudly. “Yes! If they kill someone, you should never arrest them! Do you hear me?”Rio frowned. He really didn't understand the Lieutenant's train of thought. Karl immediately dragged him back. “Rio, never mind. Don't make the situation more precarious.”When Rio and Karl had moved away, Lieutenant Finn returned to his room. He lit a cigarette wi

    “Stealing? What do you mean steal? Are you going to accuse me of that again?” the thin man dodged.Ethan narrowed his eyes, paying attention to the details of the gestures made by this person. This thin man did not look Ethan directly in the eye. Tending to look towards the right.The eyes are a difficult organ to lie to. After all, Ethan had seen this man's evil actions from the beginning.Ethan asked back angrily. “You're still evasive?”The man immediately showed an angry face. “Do you have any proof, huh? You've been accusing me of nonsense ever since. You must really like making people look bad. Just stop what you're doing. You can get other people in trouble.”Ethan smirked slightly. Right now Ethan was witnessing how someone could strongly resist an accusation that was clearly very visible. Even if the evil of this person was only Ethan who realized it.The man then hit Ethan's hand grip. “Let go of me. I'm getting off here!”Ethan didn't budge. The blow felt quite weak to Etha

    “Edward broke it off unilaterally. I'm really upset with him!” Thalia's face turned red as she ate a meal with Betty, her close friend.They were at a café far from Thalia's office. Thalia deliberately chose this place because she didn't want anyone to hear their conversation. Moreover, this is a premium cafe where not many people come at a time like this.Betty, the girl with glasses and butterfly cut hair nodded slowly. Her eyes were sharp and calm, looking directly into Thalia's eyes. Even though Thalia didn't look directly into Betty's eyes.Thalia held her forehead. “I'm dizzy... Edward has suddenly become like this.”Betty tilted her head. Her pink lips puckered slightly after hearing Thalia's long story. “I don't understand, Thalia. You got the man you wanted and ditched your husband. That's a big thing, but you're getting distracted over a little thing like this.”Thalia glanced over sharply. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed. “Betty, this is no small matter. I'm already pregn

    “Uncle Ronald, Thalia and I are leaving here. Make sure you send her away!” Betty stood up from her seat. She took Thalia by the hand to leave the place immediately. According to her, the longer they were there, the hotter they would get with Ethan's presence.Ronald nodded. “Leave this guy to me.”Thalia grinned slyly at Ethan. She could imagine that Ethan would be humiliated by Ronald while she and Betty went somewhere else to have fun.With a glance and a frivolous smile, she turned around. “Bye, loser.”Thalia and Betty laughed as they left Ethan and Ronald there. In front of Ethan, Ronald bent at the waist while exhaling. “This is not good, apparently you have a problem with my nephew. I won't allow you to work here no matter what.”Ethan tilted his head. “I'm not here to apply for a job.”Ronald snorted. “So what? From your appearance, you look like someone who doesn't own a house, or a vehicle.”Ethan nodded his head. “Yes, I don't have a house or a car.”Ronald's blood rose af

    “I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan. What happened earlier was not intentional.” Piers bowed deeply. He had a cold sweat on his temples.Ethan who was sitting down gave a small nod. “Sit down. You're making us conspicuous.”Piers immediately raised his head. He looked to the side, there were several café employees who were watching them while whispering. Someone who was dressed neatly and classy bowed his head to someone who only wore a t-shirt and jeans, of course it would attract attention.Piers understood, then he sat down in front of Ethan. He was still adjusting his breathing, so that his nervousness would disappear. Right now, Piers could only remain silent after what happened to Ethan. His eyes kept avoiding Ethan.Ethan crossed his legs. “There are two reasons why I asked you to meet.”Piers was stunned. He immediately raised his head. Unconsciously, he swallowed, afraid of the words that would come out of Ethan's mouth. “What are those reasons, Mr. Ethan?”Ethan put on a serious face. Hi

    Tonight, Ethan deliberately did not return to the hotel. For some reason he felt that someone had been watching him from afar all afternoon. With quick steps, Ethan went to a small bar on the edge of town.Ethan immediately approached the storefront. A male bartender with a bushy beard greeted him. “I've never seen you before. Anything you'd like, sir?”Ethan tapped his finger against the display case, as if in thought. Then he glanced at the bottles of alcohol behind the bartender. “Something light. I want something that doesn't have a strong aroma.”The bartender frowned. “Ah, you have a unique taste. Just wait a moment.”Some of the people who had heard Ethan's order joined in the laughter.This was a gathering place for people who wanted to get drunk and forget the troubles of the world. This was the first time they had seen someone order something light.A few moments later, a small glass of drink was placed in front of Ethan. Ethan immediately took the drink and downed it.As E

    Lin raised both hands. His fingers became longer, and his nails also became longer. “I've drunk the blood. Tonight I have full strength.”Lin firmly believed he was in his prime. Fighting burned a lot of magical energy from his vampire power. However, due to the blood supply, he could feel a great deal of power flowing inside his body.Ethan calmly gave a small smile. Not because he underestimated Lin, but because Lin seemed to be an easy target. Ethan had not fought using only his physique for a long time. Fighting a vampire follower would be a nice warm-up.Lin stepped quietly closer to Ethan. Every footstep echoed in the room. “Hoo... you can still smile even though you know you will be hunted down by me. Even though I've defeated 5 Demon Hunter in these ten days. They are very weak. I will continue to fight and grow stronger, until I can kill Piers Reaggan. As Lord Alucard requested.”Ethan narrowed his eyes. “So Piers is your target?”Lin stopped 5 meters right in front of Ethan.

    Lin glanced at his wounds. Blood continued to ooze from the wounds as Ethan targeted his arteries. His heart was beating faster and his head was getting dizzy. “Ugh... my head!”Ethan grinned. “Your blood keeps coming out. In a matter of minutes, you'll be dead. Not even the hospital can help you. But I can.”Lin's breathing began to fall apart. He felt that her body was getting colder. Images of the past began to appear in his mind. Lin knew that he would die if he continued like this. “Alright! I'll say it! We gathered at the 21st floor of the Axilon building when we got the order. The next meeting will be held in three days. That's all I know!”Ethan pressed the tip of his gun against Lin's forehead. “What else do you know?”Lin started to feel very dizzy. He whined. “That's all I know! I don't know anything else!

The wound on his arm was still gaping, but the worry in his chest far outweighed the pain.Freya stepped closer, hesitating for a moment before gently touching Ben's shoulder. “Dad, calm down. Mr. Ethan will help you,” she said, trying to channel a bit of calm through her words.However, Ben just shook his head, his breathing heavy as if he was holding something inside his chest. “You don't know what's in there, Freya,” his voice was lower, almost a murmur. “Those Wendigo's are different than before.”Ben clenched his hands, his jaw hardening as his mind drifted back to what he'd seen in the mine. He looked back at the window, his gaze filled with a fear he couldn't hide. “Lord Ethan is in a life-and-death sta

    Ethan raised his revolver quickly, the barrel aimed right at the head of the green Wendigo still bound in chains. But something wasn't right.Ethan's eyes widened, his chest tightened. The Wendigo's right hand that should have vanished... reappeared.The flesh crawled, sticking to itself like an upside-down wound. The white bone protruded first, followed by the rapidly spreading muscle fibers. The black blood that should have flowed out was now reabsorbed, as if there had never been a wound there.Ethan gritted his teeth, his breath hitching. His fingers tightened on the revolver's handle, almost pulling the trigger involuntarily. A disgusting sound rang out as the Wendigo's skin fused back together. And within seconds... his hand was back in one piece.“No way...”Ethan's voice was almost a whisper. His eyes were still glued to the creature, his brain trying to digest something that shouldn't have happened. The wendigo could regenerate.Without thinking, Ethan pulled the trigger. Two

    “A Demon Hunter like you? How could...,” Ben's words trailed off. He knew how strong Ethan was. He had seen it himself-how this man stood unwavering despite being shotgunned, how he kept moving forward despite being thrown molotovs.But his eyes were now fixed on something different. The blood seeping from Ethan's stomach. Ben's breath caught. Slowly, he raised his gaze, looking directly into Ethan's face. There was something in the man's eyes-something Ben had never seen before. Doubt. “You... who can't be pierced by bullets, who doesn't even falter in fire... could be hurt by that thing?”Ethan was silent. His jaw hardened slightly. He hated this fact, but he knew there was no point in denying it. Slowly, he nodded.Ben swallowed. If Ethan could get hurt, then... what could anyone else do?Ethan took a deep breath. His voice was low, but there was something in it-weight, certainty, and an inviolable truth. “You need to get out.”Ben remained silent. Inside his chest, a battle betwee

    “Damn it.” Ethan swore, his eyes blazing with pent-up anger. His jaw muscles hardened as he turned slowly towards Ben, his gaze so intense that it made the man pause for a moment.Ben frowned, hesitation clear on his face. His eyebrows rose, his voice sounding slightly rushed. “Mr. Ethan, let's take him out. Put him in the room with Jared. We can find an antidote for them!”Ethan didn't answer right away.With a quick movement, he stood up and grabbed Ben by the collar, pulling him a little closer. His gaze dropped to the man's hand-a shabby bandage of cloth covering a wound that should have been properly treated.“Your hand...” His voice was low, almost a threatening whisper. His crimson eyes stared at the wound like they wanted to pierce the cloth that wrapped it.Ethan took a deep breath, holding back his annoyance. “I told you, get out of this cave.”Ben swallowed, his left hand trembling slightly as he reached under his shirt and pulled out a flare gun.

    “Uhuhk!” Ethan choked, a metallic taste filling his mouth as warm blood flowed from his lips. He coughed, red splotches dripping onto the rocky ground below him. Pain pulsed from the wound, deep and piercing-right at the human's weak spot.The wendigo groaned again. The high frequency slammed into the air, piercing straight into his skull. The world seemed to shake, like the ground beneath him was about to collapse. His ears were ringing, his own voice seemed distant.Ethan blinked, but his vision began to blur. His knees buckled, his body almost collapsing to the ground. Balance lost, his breathing labored. The sound wasn't just noise-it was crushing from within.Blood was still dripping from Ethan's wound, but he didn't care. With a swift movement, he gripped the Wendigo's arm that was still stuck to his body. The grip was strong, like a steel trap closing tightly.The Hell Chain in her hand moved on its own. With lightning speed, the chain wrapped around Wendigo's arm, gripping it

    The wendigo groaned, its hoarse voice echoing through the air, almost like a fusion of a wolf's howl and a tortured human scream. Its thin, towering body bent over slightly, its long claws gripping the wet ground.He could not see clearly, but he did not need to. Its black nostrils flared, inhaling the air deeply, searching for traces of scent in the surroundings. The smell of gunpowder... sharp, burning his sense of smell. It mixed with the sweat and blood of the human in front of him-not prey, but a threat.It's head turned quickly towards Ethan, as if he had just realized something. It's long, ragged ears twitched, detecting every slightest movement. The atmosphere felt increasingly oppressive, like the breath of death hanging in the air.Ethan tilted his head slowly, his movements barely visible. He knew the Wendigo couldn't guess his steps if he moved silently. With a controlled breath, he raised the revolver, aiming steadily at the monstrous creature in front of him.However, so

    Ethan stared intently at his interlocutor. His eyes widened, his gaze stressed, as if trying to penetrate any lies that might be hidden. His jaw tightened, his tone low but firm.“So you really wish myths were real?” he said, each word coming out cold, almost like an accusation.Ben swallowed, his throat feeling dry as sand. Cold sweat ran down his neck, mixing with the air that suddenly felt piercing, colder than it should. His breath caught, his chest rising and falling in an irregular rhythm.“Yes... then you must not kill him at all, Mr. Ethan!” His voice trembled, like someone speaking on the verge of despair.His eyes widened, his hands clenched tightly until his knuckles turned white. This was all he could do-the only way to protect his wife, Jared, and... Jared's wife.Ethan only snorted softly, then turned away. His movements were calm, almost carefree, as if Ben's words were nothing more than a breeze. Without hesitation, he stepped inside the Wendigo's lair, his shadow leng

    Ethan snorted softly, the sound of his breathing like a small eruption breaking the silence. The air around them felt as if it was frozen, there was no other sound except for the echo of their breathing reflected in the cave walls. Ethan's eyes narrowed, staring at Ben like a hunter who'd locked his quarry in a tight corner.With slow, deliberate movements, Ethan raised his gun, the muzzle end stopping just inches from Ben's forehead. The metallic sound of the revolver's trigger being pulled echoed between them, adding to the suffocating tension."Don't try to play with me, Ben," Ethan said in a low tone, almost a whisper, but full of menace. "What are you hiding? Where's Jared?"Ben's face paled instantly, his blood flow seemed to stop. He couldn't take his eyes off the gun pointed at him. His breathing was short and rushed, his chest rising and falling in a chaotic rhythm. "I... I didn't-" his words trailed off, his voice lost in his own fear.Ethan didn't move, just stared at Ben c

    With trembling hands, Ben felt around his body, searching for the flare gun Ethan had given him earlier. His fingers touched the rough surface of his belt, but panic made his movements uncoordinated. His breathing getting shorter, his eyes glanced quickly at the Wendigo that was starting to rise. The creature's piercing scream echoed in the cave, making Ben's ears ring and his heart beat even wilder.Ben's feet reflexively stepped back, his body shifting away from the creature. However, the Wendigo was hurtling towards him with terrifying speed, its long claws outstretched, ready to rip.Before the claws could touch Ben's skin, something luminous emerged from the darkness. Luminous chains shot out from Ethan's hands, striking the Wendigo's body with a thunderous sound like a metal whip lashing the air. Wendigo bounced violently, his skinny body slamming into the cave wall with such force that small rocks fell from above.Ethan instantly raised his pistol, pointing the muzzle right at
