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. Ethan?”
Ethan nodded. “I'll use that room again, Jim.”
The receptionist named Jim grinned as he scanned Ethan's black card. He then handed the black card back to Ethan while giving him the key to access the room Ethan was referring to. “The daily f*e will be deducted from your account. You already get additional facilities such as 3 meals a day, access--”
Ethan immediately raised his index finger to indicate that he already knew everything. After all, Ethan used to use this hotel room a lot when he was a Hunter.
Ethan took his card and put it back in his wallet. Then he turned around to head to his room.
However, Jim said with a smile. “You're finally back in action, Mr. Ethan.”
Ethan paused for a moment. He took a deep breath. He was reminded of the previous incident when he defeated Cornellia. It was not a task given by the organization, after all Ethan had not joined the organization since 3 years ago. Perhaps, Jim said that because he saw the gun and dagger on Ethan's waist.
Ethan opened his eyes. “I'm retired.”
That phrase made Jim frown. Even though Jim was one of the few people who knew Ethan's work as a Hunter. Jim could only remain silent as Ethan's back moved further and further towards the elevator.
The 67th floor room number 691 was the one Ethan was using. A room that the hotel had always deliberately vacated for Ethan. Even after 3 years, this room was still the same.
Ethan put down his bag and sat on the sofa. He looked at his palms. He felt that his strength had decreased. Probably because he hadn't fought for 3 years. “I lost my touch.”
Ethan's mood was mixed, because tonight so many things had happened. From the divorce that he did not expect to the existence of the vampire that he inevitably had to kill. Most disturbing, however, was his inability to keep his promise to his first mentor, Thalia's grandfather.
When Ethan was 15 years old, he once helped a wounded man at the edge of the forest. He was Volland Blake. Ethan wanted to take him to the hospital, but Volland refused because he was being chased by bad guys. Finally Ethan took care of him in a hut in the middle of the forest. Every day Ethan brought him bread. To return the favor, Volland taught him some martial arts techniques. Until finally Volland recovered.
From here, Ethan's life changed. In order to change his fate, Ethan joined the military at the age of 16. Ethan himself did not tell his sister who was still in the orphanage until he was 3 years in the military. During those 3 years, Ethan went through a lot of training and battles, until finally they discovered a new fact. There are other creatures that are more dangerous than humans holding weapons. The creatures of darkness.
They are creatures that appear in myths and horror stories in movies. Most humans think they are just a figment of their imagination. However, somehow a portal appeared. The creatures of darkness that should not have come into contact with humans were suddenly present among humans. The government then gathered people with special talents and formed the Hunters organization, where Ethan, who had won many wars, became the General. He led the war against the creatures of darkness with cold hands for 2 years. Until finally he met Volland Blake again.
At that time, Volland Blake was already in a sickly state. Ethan knew that Volland's life was no longer long because of the actions of the creatures of darkness. At the end of his life, Volland asked Ethan to marry Thalia. He knew that Ethan would be able to protect her. Unfortunately, all these promises could not be kept by Ethan because of the divorce.
Ethan exhaled. “It's been a long day. I'm going to bed.”
After two days of Ethan's stay at the hotel, he felt that he needed to regain his physical strength that had diminished a lot. 3 years of being at the Blake family residence without training had reduced his muscle mass.
If only Ethan was still as strong as before, then Ethan should be able to defeat Cornellia Bridgit with just his dagger alone. Without the need to use his magic skills. Ethan decided to go to the gym to remedy this.
Ethan walked through the streets to reach a gym in the Gold Hotel complex. Although there was a gym in the Gold Hotel, Ethan preferred to do it outside the hotel because he was bored with the hotel atmosphere.
He entered the gym and his eyes were immediately drawn to a treadmill. He approached the treadmill.
“Oh... look at this loser. 2 days missing and now I have to smell the stench of his existence again. What are you doing here, Ethan?” A familiar male voice sounded from behind Ethan.
Ethan turned his head and Ethan immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw Edward Chulkin's figure there. Beside him were two men who smiled dimly at Ethan. They must be the ones following Edward.
Edward stepped up with his head up. Then he pushed Ethan's shoulder. “A poor man like you shouldn't be in this place. You have nothing to steal here.”
Edward's two friends in the back immediately started giggling. Niko, one of them even shook his head. “Edward, is that the stupid guy you were telling me about?”
Edward folded his arms across his chest. “Yes! That's right. He's that fool. The poor guy I kicked out by getting his wife pregnant. Oh yeah, and I heard he hasn't had sex with his wife in three years of marriage.”
Niko burst out laughing. “Fool! What kind of husband is that? Someone else got his wife pregnant!”
Edward grinned. “Yes... even though his wife is very, very beautiful! And more importantly, she's very good in bed. Too bad you never got to experience that, Ethan!”
Ethan looked away. “She's not my business anymore.”
Thalia was no longer Ethan's wife. She no longer wanted to be involved in Blake's family affairs. It was time for Ethan to ignore everything in the past and try to regain his lost strength.
Being ignored like that displeased Edward. He pushed Ethan's shoulder again while glaring. “Even you are still being arrogant. Remember, you're just a poor, disgusting man. Leave or I will force you in an unpleasant way.”
Ethan looked coldly into Edward's eyes. Then Ethan stepped towards the barbell rack and picked up the 15 kg weight there.
Edward grew angry at being ignored by Ethan. “You're looking for trouble, aren't you? Go away!”
Ethan then deliberately dropped the weight in his hand. The weight went into freefall and hit Edward's big toe hard.
Edward immediately screamed in pain while jumping up and down. “Asshole! You idiot!”
Ethan grinned. “Oops, your scream startled me. Made that thing fell.”
“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
Ethan Hunter 08Ethan smiled at the girl. “There's no need to worry. I'll be fine.”The girl looked doubtful. She smiled wryly and couldn't respond to Ethan's words. 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
“Aw!” Ethan immediately looked at his finger after being scratched by the ceramic shard. It turned out that the shards from the ceramic vase were sharper than he had expected. Blood began to ooze out of the wound and slowly dripped onto the floor. Ethan looked at the wound with an exhale. “I haven't bled in a long time.”Instantly there was the sound of someone running over from behind. It was Sonia Blake, Ethan's mother-in-law. Her eyes were wide open when she came up to Ethan, her face looking bright red.Without hesitation, the middle-aged woman hit the back of Ethan's head, making the man a little dizzy. When Ethan turned his head, it turned out that the woman hit him with a fist. No wonder the blow felt quite hard.Sonia looked at the ceramic vase. “You idiot! Do you know how much this vase is worth? It's even more valuable than all your things in this house.”Ethan immediately picked up the fragments while looking down and in a hurry. “I'm sorry, Mom. I accidentally nudged it wh
“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
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
