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

“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
