Since Silvia had uncovered all the evidence pointing to Gerald as the thug who robbed Cedarwood Heritage Bank several years ago, it meant that Ethan being the owner of the bank, actually owned the Rolls-Royce, and all of Davis and Gerald's assets as both men had shared the loot. So Ethan sent his lawyers to retrieve the properties. “The court ruling on the case will be held later today and we are confident that judgment will be passed in our favor.” One of the lawyers explained. Ethan was about to say something when a message notification popped up on his phone. He opened the message and saw an image of him and Loretta in his office. Ethan frowned, scrolling through, to the bottom of the message until he saw a text that read - “I know who you are. Come to the following address with 10 million dollars or I go live with what I know!” Ethan gritted his teeth and signaled to his lawyers to leave. “It seems I have another stalker!” He clenched his jaws in anger. He quickly dialed a n

The ambiance in the room suddenly became tense as Ethan glared at the thugs.“What's going on here?” He asked as his patience wore thin.“Ethan Banks!” A hoarse-sounding voice suddenly called his name.“You have caused me and some associates of mine a great deal of trouble. It's a surprise that you are still breathing!”“That's not an answer to my question! What's going on here?” He asked again, more impatient than the first time.The man with a hoarse voice came closer to Ethan and that's when Ethan spotted his tattoo. “So you are a member of the red dragons,” he sneered. “I thought you no longer existed. Isn't your leader cooling off in jail?”The expression on the face of the man standing in front of him changed, “You fool, even when death stares you in the face, you still talk trash?”Ethan chuckled, “The only things staring me in the face are your hideous faces, now get out of my way. Don't make me ask again!” Ethan replied with an air of confidence around him that briefly unsett

The biggest of all 5 men stared at Ethan with a frown, wondering what all the fuss was about the fellow standing in front of them.There was a disdainful expression, written on his face when he stared at Ethan.“Is this the fellow that has prevented us from getting the boss out all this while?” He asked while glaring at Ethan.He wondered why such an ordinary-looking fellow would be taken too seriously or even considered a threat.Moreover, Ethan was alone, so how much damage could one man do against all five of them?The odds were already in their favor and they could as well start to celebrate the return of their leader.Ethan glared at all five men, his hands rubbing his chin.Since Loretta was in the back of the van, he felt slightly at ease.He could tell that the largest of all 5 men had concluded that he wasn't a match for them.“So who is first?” Ethan asked, his eyes scanning the men carefully.“Do yourself a favor and get out of our way before I crush you with my bare hands,

Three hours later Loretta opened her eyes to see several unfamiliar faces staring at her.“Ahh….you are awake, Miss Loretta.” A kind-looking doctor suddenly spoke as he saw Loretta's eyes opening and observing him.Ethan walked to her side instantly and held her hand, “Hey, partner. How are you?”Loretta suddenly smiled as she realized where she was.“What happened?” She asked Ethan, her memory still foggy.“You fainted after I rescued you from the hands of the red dragons,” Ethan explained still holding her hand.Dr. Kris, the kind-looking doctor swiftly began to examine Loretta and after a few minutes, he was seen with a wide smile on his face.“Miss Loretta, I believe your ordeal caused some stress to your body and that's why you passed out, but you are fine now.”Ethan smiled as he glared at the doctor.There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he thanked him“Thanks for your help, doctor.”On the other hand, the nurses who stood behind the doctor glared at him with a hint o

"You've been owing us money, doc and it's time to pay up!” A stern voice was heard speaking to Dr. Kris.“Please, I just need a little more time. I'll surely pay,” Dr. Kris pleaded but it appeared his pleas fell on deaf ears as the man standing in front of him sneered.“I'm afraid you are out of time, doc. You either pay up or face the consequences.”There was a brief silence as Dr. Kris pondered on what to do next.Since he was a kid he had always wanted to be a doctor so he could help those that required medical assistance but had no money.His passion had inspired him to excel in medical school and to graduate at the top of his class.He worked as a doctor for several years in a few hospitals before he learned that the Wilkins family had decided to sell off their hospital.He had excitedly pulled together all his life savings to pay the initial sum that the Wilkins were asking for.The Wilkins family sold the hospital to Dr. Kris, agreeing to give him some time to pay the rest of t

Ethan's gaze remained on Dr. Kris as he enquired what the problem was.Dr. Kris on the other hand was still slightly shaken by what he had just witnessed. He was initially bothered by the way Ethan spoke to Farrell and feared what Farrell would do to the both of them until Ethan took him down with a single kick.Farrell gritted his teeth as he picked himself up from the ground, instantly resenting Ethan.He observed Ethan's calm demeanor and was slightly taken aback by how powerful his kick had felt.He stood at the door glaring at Ethan and Dr. Kris with a look that said it wasn't over yet and without saying anything, he walked out of the hospital with his wounded pride.Dr. Kris instantly heaved a sigh of relief as he slowly sat down opposite Ethan.He took off his glasses before gently wiping the fresh beads of sweat that had just broken out over his forehead as he narrated everything to Ethan about how he acquired the hospital from the Wilkins family.Meanwhile, Farrell got into h

The frown on Dr. Kris' face instantly deepend as Ethan's words finally sunk in.He didn't owe the Wilkins' family any money yet he had paid off the debt that he believed the hospital owed and he was still paying them what he owed for the purchase of the hospital.Dr. Kris' jaw slightly dropped as he shook his head.“This is great news, Mr. Banks. It means I no longer owe them anything. But how do I let them know that I've discovered their trick? How do I stop them from coming back for more money?” There was a disturbed look on his face as he asked Ethan.Meanwhile, Farrell Wilkins walked into his grandmother's home without responding to the bows and greetings of any of the servants.His grandmother was sipping a cup of tea when Farrell walked in with fury evident on his face.Madam Comfort Wilkins, the matriarch of the Wilkins family shifted uncomfortably where she sat and furrowed her brows at Farrell.From the expression on his face, she knew something was wrong.
