The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 129
At first, Chloe believed Honey, but after hearing the worth of the Koenigsegg Jesko mentioned, she had a rethink. Ethan hadn't told her the actual amount he bought the car for, but if he spent three million to get himself the Koenigsegg Jesko, he would have nothing else left to return back with. And from the look of things even though she was yet to check the account balance of the card he gave her, he returned with quite a lot of money given the small rank he had. So she found it very unlikely that the Koenigsegg Jesko being talked about was his. Honey could've mistaken someone else's car for her father's and Ethan could be doing this to save her some face in front of her former highschool classmates.While she was touched that he was willing to do that much for her, she didn't see any need for him to.But just before she could say anything, Claire who had gotten up with the others, beat her to it. "The Koenigsegg Jesko is Ethan's. I saw it as well on our way in, but I was too p

Ethan tilted his head to look at the room, which had suddenly quietened down.They were all gawking at him in disbelief.He stared at them for about five seconds before he turned his attention back to his front and locked the car again.Beep beep!"What is this?" Joffrey Bolton stuttered in disbelief."Leonard, didn't you say it's your car? How then are the keys to your Koenigsegg Jesko in the hands of this loser?""Did you lie to us? Did you claim to be who you're not so we'd respect you?" One of their high school former classmates chipped in.Leonard didn't think twice before shaking his head. "No, of course not. I have no reason to lie to you!""Now that I think of it. My driver might've told me of the Jesko having a key. I met him in the countryside. He was hardworking and he begged me for a job. No matter how small.""So I made him my driver. He's from the countryside and has rarely been in a proper motorcycle. Imagine how strange it was for him to see there was an automatic car?

Leonard didn't realize it, but as he tried to defend himself, he got up from his seat and slowly retreated towards the door.Kane had received an order from Ethan not to let Leonard leave without apologizing.From the look of things, it didn't seem like Leonard had apologized beforehand, so Kane did what he knew best.Coincidentally, it happened at the exact time Leonard was making reference to Josiah Haworth. Hence, the latter part of his sentence where he mentioned Josiah's name came out muffled and inaudible.Claire walked closer to where Leonard lay on the ground, and ignoring his painful grunts, huffed, "You were saying?"Leonard glared at her as he got up. "Wh-what do you think you're doing? This is assault!"Claire folded her hands underneath her bosom and sneered."It is, but what exactly can you do about it? Call the wealthy people you work on their cars to come help you? I've never heard of wealthy families caring whether their mechanical lives or dies."Leonard gritted his

The room went back to being quiet after Rose Goldberg, Leonard Chen, Joffrey Bolton, and Chloe's other two high school classmates left in shame.Claire was grinning from ear to ear, glad to have dealt with those eyesores, while Chloe tried to hide the joy she was feeling.Having that satisfaction of winning was a feeling she never thought she'd ever have again.It was at this moment that she checked her time and realized it had been a long time since Matilda went to the restroom.She was about to speak up about it when the door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and Matilda sauntered in."Mother, why did you take so long in the restroom?" Chloe asked, her voice etched with concern.Matilda lowered her eyes to the floor and briskly walked back to her seat, paying no heed to the four pairs of eyes on her.She still looked the same, calm even, at least to Chloe and Claire. But Ethan could see she was hyperventilating underneath her calm demeanor.His eyes flickered from one pa

"Chloe, don't let this bother you too much. It's not your fault if anything happens to your father. He knew whose gambling den he was gambling in belonged to and still went ahead to gamble in it and even took out loans.""Your father had this coming."Chloe whipped out her phone to call the police as she said, "I should call the police. If dad owes Victor Voss money, then all we need to do is negotiate with Victor to give dad some time to pay his debt."Matilda snatched the phone from her and threw it to the ground, then stomped on it numerous times until it shattered to pieces. Then she raised her eyes to meet Chloe's."I just told you Victor Voss is a dangerous man. A man no sane person wants to get involved with, talk more of getting on his bad side.""Yes, the police may be helpful, but what do you think will happen to our family if Victor happens to have a man working with the police?""Your father won't be the only one dying. All of us here, including your daughter, will die too

Ethan and Kane walked into the museum seconds after he gave Kane that order.The museum, as usual, was filled with numerous people going about their businesses.No one paid attention to the two men who walked into the museum and straight into the elevator. Neither did they notice that the elevator was going down, not up.The elevator stopped and opened directly to a similar vast hall like the museum atop it.As soon as Ethan and Kane stepped out of the elevator, some burly men blocked their path.Kane was about to kick them down when they suddenly stepped out of the way."He doesn't even check IDs. He must have a good way to keep track of his debtors," Kane murmured as he walked past the men with Ethan.Ethan said nothing and stopped in the middle of the room, scanning every corner with his eyes.The hall was enormous and long. At what seemed to be the end of the hall was a glass barricade.Whatever or whoever was behind it couldn't be seen by people in this room, but Ethan was sure t

"What? He lost $20,000 worth of chips to Bob the Robber?""What is he still doing sitting at that table? Bob will milk him dry before he knows it!""Who cares if Bob milks him? He walked into a gambling den to gamble, knowing fully well he knows nothing about gambling. He deserves whatever he's getting.""Right? My only regret is that I didn't see him come in. Otherwise, I'd be the one sitting across from him, not Bob. A pity that is."The small crowd that had surrounded Ethan and Bob the Robber's table chatted amongst themselves upon seeing Ethan lose his chips to his opponent.Ethan leaned back in the chair and watched the wistful smile on Bob's face as he stared at the glittering cold chips in front of him.He stared at it for a long time before shifting his eyes to Ethan, whom he found staring at him.It didn't surprise him that Ethan had his eyes pinned on him. He was just surprised he didn't see any contempt in his eyes.Any reasonable person who lost such an enormous amount of

Ethan was directed to the table of another professional gambler; Bran Garret. Some gamblers who watched him gamble with Bob followed suit. Without saying a word to his opponent, Ethan pushed every one of his chips to the center of the table. Someone whispered something in Bran's ear and he pushed in everything he had won for the day towards the center of the table. The card dealer shared their cards and Ethan picked up his. He stared at it unblinkingly for several minutes without making a move. "This is the man Bob the Robber lost to? That's disappointing." Bran Garret said in contempt as several minutes went by with Ethan still staring at his cards keenly.Another gambler standing beside Brandon nodded in confirmation."That's what the other gamblers are saying. They say they watched Bob beat him more than ten times, but in the end, he lost everything he won tonight to him." "The amount of gold he's betting with also confirms that they weren't bluffing." Brandon Garret was a h

Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You
Chapter 273
In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en

Charles, Chris and Penelope froze. Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan. “You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?” “Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.” Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices. Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them. Triplets? All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black. The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath. The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony. As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade. “You asked for us, master
Chapter 269
As soon as his words fell, some figures darted through the men and in an instant, they were all swept off their feet. Declan didn’t see this. When he waited for several seconds and didn’t see Ethan’s body riddled with dozens of bullets, his eyes darkened and he looked down at them again, ready to lash out, but saw them all on the ground, groaning and clutching onto their stomach in pain. “Wh-what do you think you’re doing? I didn’t say to roll all over the floor, I said to waste him, you dumb fools!” However, the men were in too much pain to care about his words. Charles, Penelope and Chris took their time to kick the guns away from their reach.As Penelope walked towards a bulky man whose gun was lying at his foot, he suddenly stretched his left hand to grab her by the neck, but she caught it, slammed her foot against his chest and twisted his arm, completely destroying his rotator cuff. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead as a painful shriek erupted from his lung. A t

“Who’s this brazen punk?” “If he’s so bold, why’s he hiding up there?” The men murmured amongst themselves as they stepped backward. Butler Ambrose glanced at the crane. The distance between him and it made it impossible to see the face of the man sitting inside. But he didn’t need to think too hard to know who it was. From what he had seen in the past few months, only one person would dare to make such a bold entrance. “Take out your weapons. Once Mr. Wellington gives the order, waste him!” He raised his voice and ordered his men, eyes still pinned on the moving crane. The men obliged, taking out their guns and aiming it at the machine. However, Kane merely paid a blind eye to them and went ahead to uproot the gate. Instead of driving into the vicinity, he remained at the gate and elongated the crane towards them, swinging it right and left at the men. He did this until the aim of every one of them was to get to safety. Taking advantage of this chaos, three figures stealthi

In the Wellington family residenceButler Ambrose led a cautious and haggard looking Chloe to the balcony where there were chairs and table arranged in a romantic manner. Leaning back on one of the chairs, Declan Wellington had one leg crossed on the other, sipping his wine with a satisfied smile. Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to see who it was. The second his eyes settled on her face, his cheeks stretched into a wide smile. “Chloe, you’re here!” Chloe clenched her fists tightly beside her, her eyes falling on the dozens of men crawling around the compound. Declan instantly followed her gaze.Sensing her worries, the man leaned forward to assure her, “You don’t have to worry about them. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you. The only reason they’re here is to make sure no harm comes to me.” Chloe turned her eyes to him, instantly realizing the kind of person she was standing in front of him. Because she was born into a power hungry family, she spent her life with people fr
