Daphne was taken aback by Ethan's sudden question, but she refused to let her embarrassment show. Determined to regain control of the situation, she shook off her anger and forced a smile onto her face. "You're still holding onto that, aren't you, Ethan?" she said, her tone dripping with false sweetness. "I know you're angry about what happened between us in the past, but I've already promised to make things right. I want to be with you again."

Ethan remained silent, not bothering to meet her gaze. He seemed disinterested in Daphne's words, which only fueled her determination to win him back.

Undeterred, Daphne continued her attempt to win Ethan over. She gestured towards Leona, her voice filled with contempt. "Look at her, Ethan. She's just a freeloader, after you for your money. But I'm different. I care about you, and I'm in love with you for real," she declared, hoping to emphasize her sincerity.

To Daphne's surprise, both Kate and Leona burst into laughter. The sound of their lau

"Why didn't you try to stop her?" he asked, concerned about the sudden shift in the atmosphere.Ethan maintained a calm demeanor as he replied, "Was it necessary?"Kate interjected, her voice firm yet compassionate. "Yes, Ethan, it was necessary. Despite Leona's frustration with you, she still stood up for you. She defended you there. You shouldn't let go of someone like her so easily."Ethan's gaze shifted between Steve and Kate, his face void of emotion. He contemplated their words carefully before responding, "I appreciate wh

Ethan's confident yet enigmatic demeanor left her intrigued, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it just yet.“Y…you” she tried to find the words but couldn't. “I what? Do you want another kiss from me?” Ethan said as he drew close to her. Leona recovered fast and looked away from him with an annoyed look. As the intensity of their exchange lingered, unbeknownst to Leona and Ethan, Steve and Kate emerged from the café. Their eyes widened at the sight of Ethan and Leona's passionate encounter, and they exchanged surprised glances.Kate, always the one to lighten the mood, couldn't resist making a playful remark.

    Leona was shocked and taken aback by Ethan's reckless driving. She mustered up the courage to speak up and demanded that he turn around and follow the GPS instructions. She believed he was still playing some kind of game, and she wanted no part in it."Ethan, this isn't funny anymore," she shouted, her voice trembling with fear and frustration. "Turn around and drive according to what the GPS says!"Ethan glanced at her briefly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Just sit down and keep quiet, Leona. I know what I'm doing," he replied, his focus remaining on the road ahead.Leona's anger flared up, and she couldn't contain her exasperation any longer. "I don't care what you think you're doing! I just want to get home in one piece and not be stuck in the same space as you," she argued back, her voice filled with defiance.Ethan's gaze lingered on her for a moment, silently contemplating her words.

    Leona's head was spinning as she regained her senses, realizing she was lying on top of something soft and comfortable. She was expecting blood or pains all over her but instead she felt like she was lying in a soft pillow. She never knew the car would have such a great seat in it. I didn't even notice the seat was this soft before but wait, she decided to touch it and realized the ‘seat’ had muscles and they were firm. With a confused look she decided to trace done and touched and. When she heard a voice that seems to be in pain but was also making a sarcastic statement that is she trying to undress him.“Are you planning to undress and touch every inch of my body?” The realization hit her that the "seat" she had been resting on was, in fact, Ethan himself. She quickly pulled away, a mix of surprise and embarrassment washing over her."What... what happened?" Leona asked, her voice filled with confusion.

"Get out of the car," he instructed, his tone steady.Leona, still in shock from witnessing Ethan's incredible display of strength, obeyed without hesitation. She stumbled out of the car, her eyes fixed on Ethan as she stood a safe distance away.As she stared at him, a mix of fear and curiosity danced in her eyes. She stammered, her voice barely audible, "Y-your eyes... they were... glowing. What... what are you?"Ethan's expression remained composed, his gaze steady.

    The mysterious man struggled to navigate his own abilities, trying to fight back the immense pressure that Ethan was exerting. But no matter how hard he tried, it seemed he was powerless against Ethan's overwhelming strength. In a swift move, the man attempted to move to Ethan's side, perhaps seeking an advantage, but before he could raise his hands, Ethan struck him with a powerful kick to the stomach, sending him flying backward.Although the man wasn't physically hurt by the blow, he was visibly surprised.

    Steve repeated Kate's words, and Ethan's brows furrowed in confusion. "Kate, what are you talking about? The Perfect Sage Clan? What's their connection to all of this?"Steve stepped forward, his expression serious. "The Perfect Sage Clan is one of the most influential and wealthiest clans in the world, Ethan. They have a long history and are renowned for their mastery of martial arts."Ethan interrupted, a puzzled look on his face. "But if they're so dangerous, why are they called 'perfect'? They don't sound like good people to me."Steve chuckled, shaking his head. "No, Ethan, it's not because they're perfect in a moral sense. The 'perfect' in their name refers to something else. They're infamous for their ability to age backward using despicable means."Realization struck Ethan, and his eyes widened in shock. "Wait, you mean... That's why his hair was white? He's part of the Perfect Sage Clan?"Steve nodded gravely. "Yes, Ethan. The white-haired man you encountered might be over a
