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

Freya brought a glass of Ginger Ale to Ben who had been pacing restlessly by the window. Slowly, she placed the drink on the table before turning to her father. However, Ben remained glued to the windowpane, his eyes full of anxiety as if hoping Ethan would appear at any moment. 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. The dim light from the fir

“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
Chapter 39
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
Chapter 36
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
