2024-11-16 20:01:21“Thalia, you're kidding, right?” Ethan tried to smile even though his heart was beating very fast at the moment. “You came home drunk. You must not be fully sober yet--”
“I'm really going to divorce you, Ethan!” Thalia cut Ethan off without hesitation. She looked at Ethan sharply. It wasn't an ordinary stare, but like someone who hated for a long time.
Ethan frowned. “What did I do to make you say that, Thalia?”
Thalia clicked her tongue. She rolled her eyes, disdaining the question asked by Ethan. “Of course it's because you're useless, Ethan. What else could you be? Your presence here only adds to the burden of the Blake family. With you being so poor and unemployed, do you think I'd be proud to tell people that you're my husband? Think about it with that shallow brain of yours!”
Ethan was confused by this situation. If that was the reason, why hadn't Thalia said so from the start? Ethan wasn't a lazy person who couldn't work. “Thalia, I can work. If that's what you want, I'll do it.”
Thalia glared even more. Her gaze was getting angrier. “You still don't understand. Someone like you doesn't deserve me. Remember, you were able to marry me only because of my stupid grandfather's request. Now that grandfather is dead, of course I can end this marriage at will. Besides, Mr. Edward is better than you.”
Thalia turned to Edward. The man immediately let out a smile with one side of his lips higher. He deliberately glanced at Ethan to mock him.
Sonia smiled and snorted. “You heard what my daughter said, Ethan. You're not her husband anymore.”
Ethan shook his head. He could not accept something like this. This was not news that should be heard at a family party. Moreover, Sonia and the other family members were smiling at this moment.
Ethan took a deep breath. “I can't. I won't divorce you, Thalia.”
Thalia clucked her tongue again. She took out a folder containing divorce papers. Then she threw the folder in front of Ethan. “Sign that! I'm sick of always sharing a room with a loser like you.”
Ethan's brow furrowed. His breathing became heavy. For three years Ethan had thrown away his pride and resigned himself to being treated like a slave. When there was a glimmer of hope to get love from Thalia, he received this cursed letter instead. There was no way Ethan would just give up. Thalia couldn't be out of Ethan's hands.
Ethan steeled himself. “Thalia. I won't do this. You remember what happened that night, right? We did-”
“I've been pregnant since last month, Ethan. And it's Mr. Edward's child.” Thalia cut Ethan off again before he could finish. “I have no reason to continue this stupid ‘husband-wife play’ thing with you. Mr. Edward will be my husband and take care of my child together. After all, Mr. Edward is a man of honorable standing. Unlike a loser like you. Stop whining and sign it!”
Ethan's head was like being struck by lightning. Thalia was already pregnant? And even it wasn't Ethan's child, but the man with the annoying smile? Ethan's mind and heart were completely broken. With sweaty hands, he picked up the paper.
The Blake family members chuckled. They felt very satisfied seeing Ethan's pale face. Sonia folded her arms in front of her chest. “Don't think too long, loser. I can't wait to get a handsome and rich new son-in-law. Shabby person like you better get out of this house before I report you to the police.”
Ethan closed his eyes for a moment. In his brain, his emotions were already peaking. “Alright... if that's what you're asking.”
Ethan quickly picked up the pen and signed the letter. He then stood up from his seat. He glanced at Thalia who was smiling down at him. The woman already felt victorious.
Ethan inhale deep breath. “If that's what you want, then I'll fulfill it, Thalia. However, don't regret your decision. If you come crawling to me and kiss my feet for mercy, then remember , I will not forgive you and the Blake family!”
Ethan immediately turned around and walked out. The entire Blake family burst out laughing. Sonia threw 10 coins with 10-cent denominations in front of Ethan. “Take it, you need it to get on the bus!”
Ethan tightened his grip. Even these people were still insulting him when Ethan was at his lowest. They didn't realize what kind of danger awaited them. Ethan walked away from them towards the exit.
There was a heavy downpour of rain. Lightning flashed and the sound was deafening. Not caring about any of that, Ethan walked towards the gate of the Blake family mansion. He turned around and looked at the mansion.
Ethan then raised his left hand high. “Master Volland... I cannot fulfill your request. My duty is over here. And as for the rest of them, I assure you they will be destroyed.”
Ethan closed his eyes. Slowly, his lips mouthed something that was not a human language. Vaguely, several transparent blue ropes appeared in Ethan's left hand. They were very long ropes surrounding the Blake family's estate. And from those ropes, there was a magical wall that protected the Blake residence from the intrusion of invisible creatures. For the past 3 years, Ethan had been protecting the land.
When Ethan finished the spell, he opened his eyes and immediately grasped the ropes tightly. Then he pulled the rope as tightly as he could, making them all cut off. Instantly the magical wall protecting the Blake residence disappeared. From Ethan's vision, the black mists that had previously been unable to enter, now began to approach and search for an opening from the Blake family residence house.
Ethan turned around and left the house without looking back. “This is your own fault. I've been unwilling to protect you from those creatures.”
Ethan walked slowly through the terrain without knowing his destination. After 15 minutes of walking, a Lambo suddenly stopped beside him. A person in a suit and pay got out of the car. He hurriedly came up to Ethan and put his arm around him.
The person smiled. “Mr. Ethan. After 3 years of disappearance, we finally found you. Your protective spell was spotted on our radar, so I immediately searched for your whereabouts. We've been looking for you all this time, the most genius Hunter, Ethan Hunter.”
Ethan glanced at the man. His face seemed familiar, but Ethan couldn't remember what his name was. However, what Ethan can be sure of, this man comes from the Hunters organization. An organization of people with special abilities. Where Ethan used to work.
The man then opened his car door. “Mr. Ethan, maybe it's presumptuous to ask you directly. However, the organization really needs you. Will you follow us to deal with the imminent disaster?”
Ethan narrowed his eyes. The Hunters organization has enemies that are beyond human reason. Monsters, invisible creatures, and other strange phenomena are the dangers they face. If they say disaster, then this is something very serious. In the end Ethan nodded, getting into the car of the person he didn't know the name of.

Water dripped from Ethan's shirt. Little by little, it soaked the seats and floor of the car. While driving, the mysterious man's eyes occasionally looked at Ethan from the center rearview mirror.The mysterious man finally spoke up. “Mr. Ethan, my name is Piers Reaggan. I am your subordinate, Mr. Ethan. However, you left the organization when I just came in.”Ethan was silent while glancing into Piers' eyes. Ethan's gaze made Piers avert his eyes. It seemed like he felt uncomfortable when their eyes met.No wonder Ethan felt he had seen this man. It turns out that he was a former member of the Hunters organization. That happened three years ago, right before Ethan married Thalia Blake. Since getting married, Ethan has cut off contact with the organization. Even in these 3 years Ethan has not dealt with the Dark Beings and has only focused on maintaining the barrier at the Blake family residence.Ethan turned his gaze back out the window. “It turns out you're a former member of mine.”

“Well ... look, who's back. Our radar suddenly picked up a powerful seal magic that was destroyed. It turns out that a legend did it.” A woman in a vertically striped black suit and miniskirt said it coldly. With a faint smile on her red lips, she crossed her arms in front of her chest. Standing at a slight angle as if showing her power in front of Ethan. “It turns out you're still alive, Legendary Demon Hunter, Ethan Hunter.”Ethan narrowed his eyes when he saw this woman. A woman who was too beautiful with very fair skin and long silver hair. At a glance, her tall body was a little full. That body had perfect muscles. Ethan could tell that this woman was strong enough to fight. The fact that she was a General in the Hunters organization was proof that this woman was not a person who can be underestimated.The woman stuck out her hand. “Cornellia Bridgit, General of the Hunters. It's nice to meet a legend like you, Mr. Ethan. I hope you came back not to disturb my position.”Ethan s

“Vampire?” Piers swallowed. He immediately turned to Cornellia. He saw Cornellia pull out the dagger. The wound from the knife became blackened. A wound that only an object made of silver could produce on a vampire's body.Piers glared in disbelief. “Oh, God...”Ethan opened the barrel of his gun. “Piers! Bullets!”Piers shook his head. “I didn't bring any. I'll look for it right away!”When Piers was about to move to get the bullets, Cornellia chuckled. The woman immediately closed the door and locked it. “There will be no bullets in this room. The ammunition is in another one.”Suddenly Ethan and Piers dropped their plans. Ethan put his revolver back in his pocket. Piers slowly retreated to the edged weapons rack. He picked up a dagger there. Although short-range combat was not his forte, there was no other weapon he could use at the moment.Cornellia turned around. From behind her glasses, Ethan could see her eyeballs turning a red color. Her pupils turned cat-like. The atmosphere

The Lambo stopped in front of one of Silverhaven's luxury hotels, the Gold Hotel. Piers became silent after he saw how strong Ethan was against monster. Even a vampire could be defeated with ease.Ethan who was sitting in the back opened the door. “Thank you for bringing me here.”Ethan then got out of the car and went into the hotel. Leaving Piers who was still glued there. Piers' hands became sweaty. He hissed while closing her eyes. “With just one magic he can defeat Miss Cornellia. I've never seen anything like that. Even my abilities are nothing compared to his.”Ethan approached the receptionist. A man with neatly combed hair and a big smile. The receptionist narrowed her eyes slightly. “Welcome, Mr. Ethan Hunter. Welcome back to the Gold Hotel.”Ethan didn't immediately answer the man's greeting. Instead, he took a black card from his wallet and gave it to the man. The receptionist accepted it immediately.The receptionist smiled back. “Ar you gonna use your usual room, Mr. Eth

“Are you out of your mind?” Edward looked at Ethan while wincing at the pain. He immediately looked back. “Niko, Fernand, why are you guys so quiet?”Edward's two friends immediately stood in front of Ethan while glaring at Ethan. They acted like people with power. Unfortunately, such intimidating behavior had no effect on a former General like Ethan. So, Ethan looked at them casually while giving a faint smile.Niko held the collar of Ethan's shirt. “From your smile, you must have done it on purpose. You're looking to die, aren't you?”Ethan pointed at Edward. “He's the one who scared me. That make the thing fell.”Niko pushed Ethan's body until Ethan backed up and his back hit the wall. “Don't fuck around, damn it. Don't you know the Chulkin family?”Ethan didn't answer her. He glanced at Edward's foot. His big toe was very red and swollen. It had probably been fractured. For a person who had never experienced the battlefield, such a thing was already very painful. However, should E

In her opinion, Ethan was really too bold to say such a thing.Then a woman friend of the girl took her hand and pulled the girl. “Forgive her, just forget what she said.”The two turned around. However, Ethan heard a sentence come out of the woman in a whisper. “Don't interfere in his problem! He's already too crazy to deal with the Chulkin family. You’ll be damned!”Ethan just smiled a little. It turned out that after 3 years Ethan left the Hunter world, there were many things he didn't know. Including the influence of the Chulkin family in this town. Even everyone here seemed to be afraid of their existence.That incident must have made Edward very vengeful towards Ethan. It was likely that the man would take that revenge on Ethan sooner or later. If he could do it, Ethan wanted to see how much resistance he could put

“Going for some fresh air, Mr. Ethan?” the man standing behind the reception display case smiled mysteriously at Ethan.Ethan glanced at the person. A young man in his twenties. He stood tall in white clothes and a black suit. A different person to the one Ethan met when he previously entered the Gold Hotel.With slow steps Ethan approached the person. His eyes narrowed slightly, wary of this person. “Do you know my name?”The receptionist nodded. “Mr. Jim told me about you.”Jim was the receptionist who had greeted Ethan earlier. He must have also told this young man that Ethan was a former Demon Hunter. Thus making him friendly to Ethan.Ethan glanced at the name tag on his chest. “Jason... Jim taught you well, Jason.”Jason gave a small smile. He bowed his head in respect. “Thank you. Maybe you haven't remembered, but I'm still alive thanks to Mr. Ethan. I almost fell prey to a Wendigo a few years ago, but Mr. Ethan came and killed the Wendigo.”Ethan gave a small nod. He really di

“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 secu

“This is crazy, Mr. Ethan! You really want to kill yourself. What's worse, you invited me!” Ben protested loudly while trembling. The shotgun he was holding didn't make him feel safe at all. In fact, he was very violent with it before. “Mr. Ethan, going out at night like this is very dangerous.”The night wind blew cold, piercing the bones. Ben patted his chest several times, which felt tight despite the layers of clothing he was wearing. In fact, the problem wasn't the cold, but the fear that was too great at this time of night.Gulping, he turned to Ethan. He tilted his head and his eyebrows knitted together like threads. The man apparently calmly opened the barrel of his revolver and changed the bullet to a red bullet. Then he closed the barrel and brought it slightly closer to his ear.Closing his eyes, Ethan slowly twirled the barrel of his revolver. Listening to every sound that came out of it. Then he calmly placed it into the holster. “Preparations complete.”Ben gulped. He ap

“Father, wake up.” A young girl's voice sounded faintly like a gentle stream of air.Slowly, the bearded man opened his eyes. His vision was still blurry as he had been unconscious for quite some time. He took a deep breath, then held his slightly dizzy head. “Freya... where am I?”Then Ethan's voice suddenly sounded. “You're finally awake, Ben.”Instantly the bearded man opened his eyes wide and woke up from his sleep. Immediately he glared at Ethan and set up a fighting stance. Breath rushed out of his mouth and nose. “Monster! Leave my son alone!”Ethan was standing in the doorway, his figure firmly established there. His gaze was cold and calm, as if the ice bars were ready to pierce the bones. Ben, the bearded man held his breath, immediately cautious of Ethan's figure. He could still clearly remember how terrifying Ethan had been when he had previously fought with him.Ben immediately stood in front of Freya, blocking Ethan's figure. “I won't let a demon like you touch my son!”

“UAARGH!” The bearded man's shout echoed, breaking the silence. His eyes bulged wildly, his breath caught as if his heart was about to be ripped out of his chest. Panicking, he jumped backwards. However, his head slammed into a glass display case. The sparkle of shattered glass filled the air as her body staggered. The world seemed to shake in her eyes, spinning uncontrollably.Ethan took a step forward. Slowly, but each step felt like a rumble. The air vibrated as if his presence ruled the room. Those fiery red eyes stared straight, piercing, making the bearded man's blood freeze.His hand reached into his jacket pocket, searching for the remaining shotgun shells. His fingers trembled violently, like leaves shaken by a storm. A bullet fell out of his grasp, sliding to the floor because of his hands that he couldn't control in fear. “Damn it!”The bearded man cursed repeatedly, his face growing pale, almost as if there was no blood left in his body. With trembling hands, he cocked the

“Get out of this place, or you won't make it out alive!” The man cocked the shotgun with a loud, echoing sound, as if to reinforce his threat.The young girl behind him cowered in fear, her eyes glancing at Ethan over her father's shoulder. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips quivering silently, as if she had just seen death in human form.Ethan slowly raised both his hands, his palms open upwards in a sign of peace. His face remained flat, cold as a stone statue. There was not a hint of fear in his eyes, as if the shotgun blast was just a trivial matter.Stepping away from the table, Ethan tilted his head, his gaze fixed on the man. In a low, calm voice he tried not to provoke the man with the beard. “Calm down, sir. I think there's a misunderstanding here.”The man with the beard glared, his eyes burning like embers ready to burn. His breathing sounded heavy, filling the room with tension that hung in the air. Ethan's calmness seemed to be the spark that magnified the flames of

Ethan stood at the edge of the gravel road, his boots touching the ground damp with morning dew. Fresh air slipped into his lungs, carrying the distinctive scent of wet leaves and a hint of clay. She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. The cold air mixed with her hot exhale, forming a light mist in the morning.“How long have I been without air like this?” he murmured softly, his eyes gazing at the dense forest on the other side.A wooden signpost stood askew on the side of the road, the writing slightly faded, but still legible: Dogu. Ethan touched the board with a finger, the wood rough and mossy. The village felt unfamiliar to him, but his steps remained steady following the small road that led to it.Along the way, the sound of children's laughter echoed. Some ran around in bare feet, sending dust into the air. A small boy held a battered kite, its string tied tightly in his hand. Ethan glanced at them, the corners of his lips lifting slightly-a rare smile.However, the peace

Ethan stared at his now no longer perfect silver knife, his gaze turning from shocked to cold. “No way...”Trevor, with a small smile playing at the corners of his lips, slowly raised his hands. “Perhaps you'd like to put the weapon away before my neck is completely ripped out?”Ethan narrowed his eyes, but finally lowered the knife and took a step back. Trevor calmly turned around, placing his gun on the dusty display case. His movements seemed confident, but there was a mystery lurking behind his smile.With one swift movement, Ethan slipped his dagger back into the holster, but his eyes remained fixed on Trevor. A shadow of suspicion crossed his mind. “How can you make something stronger than your grandfather's work?”Trevor tilted his head, as if savoring the moment. “That's why he retired. I've perfected his technique. He knew it was time to leave the shop to me.”He paused for a moment, staring intently at Ethan. “So, what are you looking for, legendary Mr. Demon Hunter?”Ethan

The old wooden door creaked softly as Ethan pushed it with his fingertips. Cold air mixed with damp smells greeted him immediately, like the scent of a long-locked basement. His footsteps were barely audible as he entered the building, as if the dusty old floor didn't want to betray his presence. Sunlight only slipped through a few small cracks in the windows.Ethan scanned the room. Nearly collapsed wooden shelves stood along the walls, filled with dusty bottles and almost illegible labels. The traces of time were clearly imprinted on every corner of the store, from the shabby carpet to the cracked ceiling. He stepped up to the glass display case in the center of the room, looked at the soberly displayed goods, then pressed the small bell on the counter. The sharp clinking sound echoed in the silence, as if disturbing the sleeping souls in the place.A man appeared, wearing a neat black suit with a crimson bow tie. His appearance contrasted with the condition of the building, but the

Ethan gave a small nod, his faint smile still plastered on. “Good. Make sure they know their limits.”Hugo straightened his body, then quickly left the room, his shoes clicking softly on the shiny floor. The door closed softly, leaving Ethan back standing in front of the large window. He gazed at the city of Silverhaven, his eyes radiating a mixture of calmness and firmness.Hugo exited the room with quick, decisive steps. The door slammed shut, leaving Ethan sitting back in his cushioned chair. He leaned back, hands interlocked in his lap. A thin, meaningful smile graced his face. His eyes narrowed, as if he was weighing something. In almost a whisper, he said to himself, “You shouldn't play with fire, Thalia.”On the other side of the building, the Blake family boardroom was filled with enthusiastic energy. Jack sat at the end of the long table, his fingers tapping the wooden surface with an almost impatient rhythm. His face radiated confidence, with a smile raised in contentment. I

Hugo stepped forward, turned the doorknob gracefully, then pushed it slowly. He smiled respectfully at Ethan. “Please, Mr. Ethan. This is your room.”The room behind the door exuded undeniable elegance. The crystal chandelier reflected warm light onto the walls decorated with classical ornaments. A large mahogany table stood firmly in the center, with leather swivel chairs that looked inviting to sit on. A relaxed but dignified atmosphere filled the air.Ethan stepped inside without hesitation. His leather shoes made a soft sound as they touched the shiny marble floor. He walked slowly towards the swivel chair behind the desk, then sat down in a relaxed yet authoritative manner. The backrest of the chair accepted his back comfortably, while both hands rested on the arms of the chair. He turned the chair slightly, looking at Hugo who stood with a proud smile.Hugo looked relieved, like a heavy burden had finally been lifted. The small smile on his face signaled undisguised happiness. H
