As Ethan alighted from the vehicle, General Cage and several other high-ranking and highly decorated military officers stood still with their hands held at Akimbo in a salute for him. There was a massive uproar from all who gathered, anxiously waiting for his grand entry. Martha was the first to catch a glimpse of Ethan. She instantly lifted her handkerchief to her eyes, wiping them severally as if trying to take off an invisible veil that had suddenly covered her eyes. “Huh! Isn't that Ethan?” She suddenly yelled, pointing her fingers in the direction of a fellow standing by the motorcade. Ariella and Jay whose eyes were already facing Ethan's direction, squinted their eyes as they tried to get a clearer view of the fellow’s face. There was a gasp of surprise on both their faces as soon as they confirmed what Martha had just said. “It's actually Ethan!” They both yelled in unison, their faces filled with shock. “How could that be?” Ariella asked in disbelief, wondering if Etha
There was a satisfied smirk on Ethan's face as soon as Jay moved back. Ethan looked incredibly rich and powerful in his grey Stuart Hughes Diamond edition suit. Even his custom-made shoes with pure gold finishing, sparkled as he walked, exuding pure luxury and wealth. “The ground where you now stand was the same ground my poor mother walked on for several years before she passed!” Ethan's smirk softened as an image of his late mother flickered through his memory. Ariella's eyes widened as she turned around to look at the place. The transformation was incredible, evident that a lot of work and resources had gone into the place. She had initially gotten the feeling that she had been to the place before but she had quickly dispelled it as her mind confusing the place with somewhere else. Ariella had detested Ethan's poor background so much that she had quickly ridded her memory of anything associated with where he had grown up, so it was no surprise that she couldn't remember Ethan
Ariella suddenly broke into laughter. “Hahaha….You? Lopez Conglomerate's head of operations? You must be out of your mind if you think me, my boyfriend, or my mother would buy any of this bullshit! Don't forget we know you more than anyone else here does!” Martha furrowed her brows, “I think it's time we sent a message to that boss of yours, demanding for your dismissal! This charade has gone on long enough! We all came here with the hopes of seeing him instead what do we get..a lunatic pretending to be him! Even your mother would be ashamed of you!” Something in Ethan instantly snapped when Martha mentioned his mother. “What did you just say?” Ethan walked towards Martha in intimidating strides, his fists clenched so hard like he was about to hit her. Loretta sighed deeply as soon as she heard Martha mention Ethan's mother. She knew the presence of the Grays was a bad idea on its own but now that they had even mentioned Ethan's mother, things were going to decline even faster.
The tough-looking man was none other than Drexel, Pachenko’s right-hand man. Martha was so thrilled when she saw that Andrew had come with Drexel and the men from the killer squad. “Ahh…Mr. Drexel, your words are like music to my ears. Please break him into pieces very quickly! No one will miss him, I assure you. In fact, you will be doing us a favor!” Martha spoke to Bruno excitedly. Suddenly, a series of Range Rovers drove in, parking side-by-side with the SUVs as several men totaling ten in number, jumped out of them wielding metal clubs. “Who amongst you is Ethan Banks?” One of the ten men who had just arrived asked. “And who are you?” Ethan asked, rolling his eyes. “We are from Mr. Gray! We were asked to crush you to pieces and tear this place apart! I don't suppose you have any problems with that,” the man responded as he glanced at the rest of the men who stood behind him, chuckling with them. Andrew beamed with even more excitement than before on hearing that his father
Andrew suddenly began to quiver as Ethan walked towards him with the metal club. Martha was too shocked to speak. Ethan had taken out the dreaded members of the killer squad and men from the red dragons with only one hit from a metal club! It was unbelievable! Martha, Ariella, and Jay would have found it extremely difficult to believe had they not witnessed it with their own eyes. Even Augustine Tage and all the other high-ranking members of the black axe marveled at the strength of their esteemed leader. General Cage also glared at Ethan in admiration. Loretta was instantly relieved after she saw Ethan defeat the men with the metal club. She had been scared for Ethan despite knowing how strong he was. Samantha chuckled as soon as she saw the relaxed look on her sister's face, “You were scared for him right?” “Don't worry, I won't tell him,” Samantha whispered into Loretta’s ears. As Ethan glared at Andrew, fear gripped him. Andrew swallowed hard, “I…I…” he struggled to spe
"We have to go back to our initial arrangement,” Sarah finally announced after several minutes of silence. “Let's follow the initial plan. Get me my money and the evidence he has on me and I'll see to it that your marriage to Loretta happens very quickly!” Sarah added, furrowing her brows. Nash clenched his fists. He was beginning to understand how Sarah had initially felt when she told him how difficult it had been for her to take care of Ethan. “I think I need something stronger. Get me something stronger,” Nash yelled at one of the maids, almost causing her to jump out of her skin. As soon as the maid returned, Nash downed several glasses of whiskey, just to calm his pulsating nerves. Nash shut his eyes, relishing the calming effect of the whiskey on his nerves. Suddenly he opened his eyes and a devious look appeared on his face. He knew what he was going to do! *** At Sun City, all the injured men cringed in pain as some medical vans were seen taking them away. Their ve
Ethan gave her a forced smile, “Thank you, Olivia.” The vehicles were taken to Ethan's garage while he and the girls headed into the house. Inside Ethan’s apartment, Olivia couldn't help glaring at how beautiful everything was. Loretta grinned when she saw the expression on Olivia’s face, “Ethan had the exact same look when he first came here!” Ethan couldn't help smiling when he heard Loretta. “Yeah, Loretta has very exquisite taste. She personally oversaw the design of the entire Villa. Loretta chuckled, almost blushing, “Well, I can't take all the credit, I had help from grandfather.” Olivia smiled, still admiring the place. “What can I get you?” Ethan suddenly asked as he took off his jacket. Suddenly Ethan's phone began to ring. It was Tim. “Hello Tim, what's up?” “Boss, everything is set. She's on her way to the Villa,” Tim responded. “All right, good job Tim!” Ethan smiled as the phone line clicked, a devious look suddenly appearing on his face. Meanwhile, Emiliano
A panic-stricken Andrew glared at his father, unable to speak. “Have you suddenly gone dumb? You better start talking before I lose my temper!” Emiliano growled. “I..I…had no choice. It was the only way I could save my neck. Pachenko spared me in jail and in return I was supposed to take Ethan out of the picture so he could get out of jail but when I failed, he gave me another condition, which was to launder money for the red dragons to enable them to exert their revenge on Ethan and the black axe group. I swear I don't know how Ethan got proof of my dealings, I was extremely careful!” Andrew explained before breaking down in tears. Emiliano gritted his teeth, “Apparently, you were not careful enough! Now look at what you caused. Why didn't you come to me?” Martha was almost in tears after she heard Andrew's explanation. “What are we going to do now?” Martha asked, panicking. “Andrew, how in the world did you make such a blunder?” Ariella yelled at her brother. “You should have
