2024-11-16 20:58:06“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 Ethan let the man who took his wife only get a small injury like that?
Edward touched his swollen thumb. He immediately cried out in pain. “You bastard! My thumb hurts so much and I feel dizzy. Something must have happened to the bone. I will definitely sue you. You'll go to jail!”
Ethan tilted his head. There was no concrete evidence that Ethan had done that on purpose. However, for members of the Chulkin family it would be very easy to do that with their power.
Fernand unceremoniously unleashed a fist that went straight for Ethan's face. However, Ethan immediately held him back. That made Fernand open his eyes wide.
Ethan glanced at Fernand. “Get out of the way. Take care of your whiny boss.”
Ethan dismissed the hand. This morning was not a good time to fight. After all, this was a crowded place. Ethan didn't want to get involved in anything troublesome.
Ethan turned around and intended to leave those people. However, Niko grabbed him roughly by the shoulders. He forced Ethan to turn around.
Niko glared while slapping Ethan's cheek. “Don't ignore us, asshole. Do you realize what you've done? Before you go to jail, I'm going to beat your face in!”
Ethan held his cheek. He rubbed it while smiling slightly. It had been a long time since he had felt a punch from someone. The last time he felt it was 3 years ago when he fought a wendigo. This guy's punch wasn't as strong as the wendigo's, but somehow in Ethan's head this guy looked dumber than the wendigo.
Ethan clenched his fist to prepare to punch, but his brain instantly stopped that thought. He immediately realized that the person in front of him didn't deserve a punch from Ethan.
Ethan's smile made Niko even angrier. “I knew it, you did that to Edward on purpose. I'll break your hand for dropping that barbell on Edward!”
Edward immediately smiled while glaring. “Good! Make him feel 10 times more pain than I did. Break his bones ten times!”
Hearing the commotion, the security guards entered and came to them. “Stop it, what are you doing?”
Fernand immediately confronted the security guard. He reached into his pants pocket.
The security guard furrowed his brow. “Get out of the way, customer! You can't fight in the gym-”
Fernand took out a wad of money and stuffed the security guard's mouth with it. “Shhh... shut your mouth up and go away. Pretend you didn't see us. You don't want to get involved with the Chulkin family's problems, do you?”
Hearing the name Chulkin, the guard raised both eyebrows. He glanced at Edward and immediately recognized the person. Slowly the man turned around and walked away. He knew that dealing with the Chulkin family would only cost him his job.
Ethan exhaled. There was nothing he could expect from the security guard. The Chulkin family's influence even reached a little guy like him.
Niko grimaced with pleasure. She lifted Ethan's hand. “This hand is evil, I'll break it right away.”
Fernand immediately held Ethan's body from behind. Niko then picked up the barbell and raised it. Preparing to smash the barbell into Ethan's hand to break the bones. The man grimaced and opened his eyes wide. “I break it now, huh...”
Edward burst out laughing. “Great! That's my brother! Break it now, Niko!”
Niko swung his hand to smash Ethan's hand. People screamed while closing their eyes in horror. However, Ethan kicked Niko in the groin before the barbell touched Ethan's hand. Niko, who felt unimaginable pain, immediately let go of the barbell and held his groin.
The barbell was thrown towards Edward and hit his big toe again. Edward heard a sound like wood breaking from the big toe. An excruciating pain instantly radiated. Edward screamed in pain like a frightened dog.
The panicked Fernand immediately released his hold on Ethan and came closer to Edward to inspect the wound. “Ed! Edward! Oh no, you broke your thumb, it's bent the wrong way!”
Edward screamed even more. “Asshole! Ethan's trash! I'll definitely make you rot in jail!”
Ethan tilted his head as he turned around. “Take it to the hospital, before it becomes a permanent disability.”
Fernand and Niko immediately helped Edward up. They carried him on their shoulders while shuffling. Edward's breathing was very heavy, he looked at Ethan from behind vengefully. “Ethan Hunter! I must have killed you!”
Ethan only smiled faintly. He didn't think too much about what Edward was going to do. Ethan waited for him.
After the three people came out, Ethan saw how people were looking at him. They were staring uncomfortably. These people didn't even prevent Edward and his two friends when they wanted to break Ethan's hand. They must have been afraid of hearing the Chulkin family name and chose not to interfere.
Ethan exhaled. There was no point in blaming them. The Chulkin family's influence in the town of Silverhaven was huge. Ordinary citizens were just like pebbles to them.
Ethan finally resumed his activities to train with the barbell. “I didn't expect the Chulkin influence to reach here.”
Among all those people, a girl approached Ethan. “E-Excuse me ... are you okay?”
Ethan turned to the girl. She was a very cute looking girl. She had fair skin and red lips. With her messy chic bun hairstyle, she looked fresh. She was wearing a pink tanktop and looked a little sweaty.
Ethan nodded. “Yes.”
The slender girl bit her lip. “Umh... I saw what happened just now. You might be in big trouble. The person with the broken thumb is the first child of the Chulkin family. Then, the two people with him are his cousins. What you did just now will put you in danger.”
Ethan tilted his head. “Why?”
The girl seemed to hesitate. “Some of the Chulkin family are police in Silverhaven.”

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

“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

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

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.

“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
Vhapter 37
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
