The door of the black Maybach flung open before Red Coat stepped out.He was a real monster of a man, large enough that he towered over Ethan by an inch or two.He took a few steps forward before remarking. “So you are the hero in town that's going around beating up my men and taking away my targets. What's your name?”“Don't you remember me, Red?” Ethan shot back calmly leading to Red Coat scrutinizing his appearance.The larger man's expression shifted as he recognized Ethan. “Oh wow, if it isn't Ethan Jones. I had no idea you had been released from prison.”“I was released early on good behavior.” “Is that so?” Red Coat remarked in amusement. “Well then, it's good to see you back in town.”“I would say likewise if you hadn't kidnapped Mirabel and sent men to kill Old Bill. Where is she, Red?... Where is Mirabel?”“She's back in my house, chained underneath my basement.” Red Coat casually replied causing Ethan's expression to cool considerably though he remained calm.“Why?”“Her f

Ethan got down from his car, watching as Red Coat's subordinates glared daggers at him, already ready to rip him to shreds the moment the order was given.The order, however, never came as Red Coats entered his mansion with Ethan following closely behind.Arriving at the sitting room, Ethan sat on a couch while Red Coats sat on the opposing chair.Glancing at a maid, Red Coat's remarked. “Bring the girl.” Then to another, he ordered. “Get a glass of wine.”Ethan maintained decorum, his gaze subtly scrutinizing the area to ensure no sniper was waiting to gun him down.Thankfully, it seemed Red Coat's wasn't that well funded.Satisfied with this, Ethan somewhat relaxed while waiting for Mirabel to make an appearance. Soon enough, the maid returned with the glass of wine with Mirabel still nowhere in sight.Ethan furrowed his brows as he watched Red Coat pour wine for him and then for himself.“What's taking so long?” Ethan inquired as he made no effort to reach for the wine.Red Coat'

Old Bill could hardly believe his eyes as he rushed to embrace Mirabel.“Oh my sweet child, I didn't think I'd ever see you again.”“Dad!... I'm glad you're okay.”Meanwhile, Anna approached Ethan. “You did great.”“Thanks.”“Are you okay?”Ethan nodded. “Yeah.”“You took on at least 50 armed men and came out completely unscathed. That's it, I admit it, you are a sorcerer.”Ethan chuckled. “Yeah, let's go with that.”Taking a moment, he quickly inspected the system notification that had popped up.[Congratulations, Mission; Saving a damsel in distress has been completed][Rewards will be delivered shortly]Satisfied with this, he proceeded to make small talk with Anna until Officer Greg arrived.Weirdly enough, he was alone.Ethan instinctively noticed that something was wrong.“What's going on?... Where are the trucks?... Fifty people in there need to be arrested.”Greg revealed a complicated expression as he remarked. “Red Coat can't be arrested.”“What?”“He is protected by powers

Once he was done with Lukas, Ethan knocked the man out before escaping his manor.That night, he visited three more people; the Chief of Police, a prominent judge, and a chairman with a grudge against Red Coat.Together, they would suffice to ensure that Red Coat would never be able to see the light of day again.He would pay for his crimes and there was no stopping that.By the time he returned to the motel, it was already 2 AM.Feeling fatigued, he promptly retired for the night, ignoring the notifications he'd received.The next morning, Ethan awoke to someone knocking at the door.Because he didn't wish to disturb the others, he'd opted for another room to sleep in so he was currently alone in the room.“Ethan, open up,” Anna remarked from outside.Rubbing off the sleep from his eyes, Ethan made his way to the door and opened it. “What's up?”“Have you seen the news?” Anna inquired in excitement.“What's wrong?”“It's Red Coat's, there's a press conference going on right now and i

Ethan initially planned to head straight to Savour headquarters to meet with the CEO but decided against it as a certain thought emerged at the back of his mind.He drove straight to the police station before calling Greg out to meet him.“What are you doing here?” Greg inquired as he stepped out to meet him.Ethan remarked. “I need to see Red Coat.”“Why?... You managed to put him behind bars and now you want to take him out?”“Over my dead body,” Ethan said frankly. “I just need to ask him a few questions, that's all.” “Ethan, you are making things difficult for me.”“Just help me out.” “Hah, fine, come with me.”Greg took him into the station after which he quickly arranged for a meeting.Ethan met with Red Coat in his cell, the giant of a man chained down as they feared he would easily break conventional handcuffs.“What do you want?” Red Coat's questioned as he glared at Ethan with hate-filled eyes.He knew that if Ethan had done something else he would have never been in such

“I received a call from the Williams family head, he claims that you not only threatened his daughter, you also threatened him. Is this true?” Francisca inquired as Ethan took his seat at the opposite end of the table.Crossing his legs on the table, Ethan remarked in a sarcastic tone. “I had no idea Savour had changed CEOs, when did that happen?”Francisca's expression shifted. “What are you talking about?”“You know exactly what I mean.” “Watch your mouth!... You are currently seated before the CEO of Savour and your boss.”Ethan ignored the noise as he remarked. “Did your granddaddy also tell you what he did to be threatened?”Francisca's expression turned sour but she restrained herself as he remarked. “He did.”“Yet, you are coming to me, for what reason?... I'd assume is to congratulate me for a job well done.”“The Williams family is not an entity to be messed with.”“That doesn't mean I shouldn't get my money. It's my restaurant, I decide how to run it.” “That branch isn't o

Reginald stood in his office, right next to the floor-to-roof window behind his desk.It provided him with a rare view of the city below, allowing him to bask in the glorious sights.As he sipped wine from the glass cup in his hand, he counted the time until he would one day reign over it all.He wasn't one to consider politics so his eyes were set on becoming king of the business world, a man that could make companies move with a simple word.Ethan had been very useful in covering his tracks which enabled him to amass wealth unlike any other.But knowing that not every company would be willing to bend to his will, he had to do something about it.The first company he'd attempted to claim was Savour but the previous owner, Francis Peterson, was quite stubborn and had even threatened to out him for his wrongdoings.Unfortunately, Reginald had no choice but to end the poor soul.Others thought Francis had died from a heart attack but only Reginald knew the real reason the poor man died

Langdon froze as he stared pensively at Ethan.The shutdown of the Savour branch had been done illegally and without the knowledge of his boss.If Ethan were to go snooping around, his job would be at risk for sure.Gritting his teeth, he remarked. “You'd best not do anything you won't regret.“I could say the same thing to you. So I'll give you two options, you either reopen my restaurant, or else you can wait to receive a call from your boss.”“You can't do shit!” Ethan chuckled. “Try me. I'll give you till 6 pm, Mr. Langdon, don't think the bastard that got you up to this would help you when the going gets tough.”Langdon froze yet again as he realized that Ethan was no fool.He was well aware the lockdown was done because of a hidden figure.Judging from the expression he had, he may have an idea of who the figure was, the knowledge that Langdon wasn't privy to because he had been connected via an agent.Clicking his tongue, Langdon got into his car and drove back into the bureau
