Crossbones expression turned ghastly as he stared at Ethan.He had planned to use the chaos caused by the attack to take Anna and the other girls as hostages, forcing Ethan to enter into a weakened state so he could finish him off easily.Judging from what Reginald had told him, Ethan was supposedly an Apostle who was on very good terms with his patron deity, which meant he would be difficult to handle in a one-on-one fight.But this didn't mean Crossbones was going to back away now that the target was before him.Grinning wickedly, he remarked. “Well, well, if it isn't the great Ethan Jones. One would think after you were released from prison, you'd live a low-key life, but no, you just have to be a pain in the ass.”“I'm guessing Reginald sent you.”“Does it matter?”Ethan shook his head. “No, just wanted to be sure.”“Boss, I thought you went in a different direction.”“I had a gut feeling so I decided to tail you guys. Thankfully I did else the situation would have been much worse

Ethan stepped up and explained only to receive a scolding from Anna for trying to act like Superman.Naturally, he could only allow her to conclude her rant before she finally hugged him, thankful that he was okay.At this point, one might think she was his mom and he was an irresponsible child.In any case, once that was done, they headed back to where their car had crashed before finally finding the road only to discover that Aaron had managed to beat back the enemies, though at the cost of five officers.“I'm sorry.” Ethan apologized once he learned of this.Aaron shook his head. “It's not your fault. We were the ones who chose to accept employment under you. We were already prepared for loss.” “I understand.”“Just tell me you know the bastard that dared to ambush you.”Aaron was looking for someone to vent on and who else but the person who made the ambush happen?Ethan nodded while pointing at an unconscious Crossbones. “We won't let any of them off.”Aaron seemed satisfied as

Seeing Francisca come to her aid, Lilian immediately grew bolder as she cried out. “Young miss, save me, these men are accusing me wrongly.”“Sir Ghost, what's going on?... Surely there has to be a reason you wish to detain Lilian.” Francisca remarked.“Were you the one in charge of the convoy that was designed to bring me back home?”“That…” Francisca trailed off as she realized her mistake.Ethan had informed her not to delegate that task to anyone else but because she trusted Lilian, she hadn't considered it then but now, she realized there was something deeper going on.“Sir, is there a problem?”“The convoy was ambushed and five men died trying to deal with the enemies. You tell me if that's a problem or not.” Ethan remarked.“This… but how come?”“I have enemies, Francisca, which is why I warned you not to let anyone know of the convoy yet you went ahead to give this traitor. Do I take it that you are tired of working for me!?” Ethan questioned harshly.As much as he tried to re

“Damn it, let me go!... I did nothing wrong!” Bill exclaimed as he continued to struggle in the hands of the security guards dragging him away.The security guards didn't even act like they heard him, acting like it was a mosquito buzzing annoyingly in their ears.As far as they were concerned, it didn't matter if Bill had done something wrong or not.Since Philip had asked them to throw him out, they would do just that.In any case, it's not like Bill had any sort of backing that they needed to be wary of, so they could do whatever they wanted.“Stop talking so much else I might just forget you are an old geezer and teach you a lesson.” One of the guards warned before proceeding to kick Bill in the shin, eliciting yet another pained cry from him.Of course, this ruckus attracted attention from those present but no one bothered to act like they cared as they murmured among themselves.“What do you think happened?” “What else?... I'm sure he overstepped and now has to pay the price.”

Philip wasn't knowledgeable in the ways of the divine in the first place which was why he was so terrified of a man that could force him to sit with a simple glance.“Look, I don't want any trouble, okay?... If you touch me, you are going to need to explain yourself to the authorities.”Ethan chuckled. “Do you think they would care about a lackey like you if I pay them enough?”Philip's heart tightened as he knew the answer to that question was a resounding no.Several government workers had been snuffed out for daring to offend the wrong person and now, he seemed to be on the cusp of that as well causing him to gulp nervously.It was then he recalled something as he felt like Ethan's title was familiar.Ethan chuckled seeing Philip go through several stages of fear.“So you know fear, yet you dared to bully my family member?... You must have a death wish.”Philip got to his knees and began to kowtow as he remarked. “Please spare me, I had no idea he was your family member. If I had k

Ethan frowned as the envelope seemed quite suspicious.“You do not need to worry, young master, Mr. Aaron did a thorough check on it before allowing me to bring it to you.”“No danger?”“None.” The butler assured allowing Ethan to heave a sigh of relief.He may not be affected but that didn't mean he liked the idea of getting attacked in his house.It went to show that his house was not safe which was one thing he couldn't allow.Letting out a sigh, he resolved to turn Dusk Manor into a fortress as soon as possible to avoid situations like the one with Crossbones from happening.“Give it,” Ethan remarked with the butler moving to hand it over after which he stood aside, waiting for Ethan to read through.Ethan didn't seem to mind as he opened the letter and read through its contents, causing his expression to shift.“GK Council?” Ethan muttered softly as the title sounded familiar and unfamiliar for some reason.Reading through the letter, he was able to quickly summarize its contents

“You are quite bold, daring to come here despite knowing that it could be a trap.” The leader of the group, Nathan, intoned as he got to his feet.Ethan smirked. “If I came, naturally, it's because I have no reason to fear.”“Pride comes before a fall, Mr. Jones.” Nathan intoned calmly.“It has nothing to do with pride.”“Oh?”“I just don't have a reason to be frightened, so tell me, who are you and what did you want from me?”“I am Nathan, a butler from the GK Council. I am here to offer you a deal.”“What deal?” Ethan frowned.“We are aware that you have possession of the Titans Heart as well as the formula for Divine Awakening. We would like to purchase it.”“And you think I'd sell it to you?”“For the right price.” Nathan intoned with a smirk. “You see, to show our sincerity, we have taken our hands off of Reginald Williams. It is our knowledge that he is a man you despise.”Ethan frowned as a thought came to mind. “You guys are the organization that the Brewsters found out about

“Well shake it off, we have another event to attend tonight,” Ethan remarked causing Aaron to let out a resigned sigh.“Are things always this dangerous?”Ethan smiled. “Only on weekdays, weekends are usually calmer.”“Are you joking?”“You'll just have to find out. Now come on, we have work to do.” Ethan intoned before he began to walk away.Aaron let out yet another sigh.If he had known this was what he was signing up for, perhaps he might have given some more thought but considering what he'd seen tonight, he had a feeling he had made the right choice with becoming Ethan's right-hand man.Though he was knocked down, he was still conscious enough to watch Ethan beat down five Apostles with hardly any stress.If that was not the definition of a powerhouse, then what was?Excited by the prospects, Aaron swore to ensure he followed Ethan on his journey.It was sure to be a great ride.Soon enough, the convoy began its journey to where the event for the Sponsorship dinner was to take p
