The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 146
In all the chaos, no one stopped to notice the extra addition of one person in the room.Charles Wilkins had changed out of his expensive suit and put on the normal lavish, but expensive clothes usually worn by top families, seamlessly blending as a member of the Reese family..As instructed by Ethan, he waited to see if the Reese family were really worth saving. It was no surprise to anyone that in the matter of life and death, humans were often likely to do what would keep them alive.Siding with the Lauthner family sounded like the only thing the Reese family could do at this point to continue existing.When that happened, Charles would just destroy them together.However, much to his surprise, the head of the Reese family had turned over a new leaf. And someone else seemed to be behind him.Now that he had confirmed what he came for, there was no longer any need to hide himself.Seeing that Charles emerged from amongst the Reese family, Hamon’s eyes visibly darkened in rage.“Has

"Are you calling me a fool, Hamon Lauthner?""Only a fool would fall for the lies of a good-for-nothing. And you fell for the lies of a good-for-nothing. That makes you a fool to me, and I’m sure it makes you a fool in front of other people."Charles was silent for a moment before his eyes snapped to the sudden movement by his side..Sensing the danger behind him, he moved away from behind Hamon like a bolt of lightning.The intended bullet for him missed its target and lodged itself into the wall.A group of masked men rushed towards the middle of the room and pointed their rifles at Charles, who was now sitting at the foot of the stairs leading to the house's second floor.“Are they why you stalled me thinking you could change my mind?”Hamon massaged his neck gently and looked up at Charles.“Not at all. I have no intention to change your mind, it was just to stall you. And frankly, the Lauthner family will benefit more from your death.”“Your brother will be elated to hear that yo

"Wh-what do you think you’re doing? You’re pointing your rifles at the wrong people. Hurry, point it back at him before he uses the opportunity to run!” Hamon Lauthner found his voice a few seconds later and hollered at the masked men loudly.However, the men paid no attention to him and remained in the same position with their rifles.Charles smiled and unhurriedly tapped his foot against the floor. The gentle patting aligned itself with the fearful heartbeats of Hamon and the rest of the Lauthner family.“Obviously, I knew the Wellington family will send reinforcements to you. So I did what any normal person would; I stopped the van conveying them, took out every man belonging to them, and replaced them with my men.”Hamon's eyes suddenly widened in a hurry as he realized he had no one to turn to now.He couldn’t ask the Wellingtons for help, but even if he could, it’d take them a few hours to get to Springdale if they used the family’s private jet.And in those few hours, Charles W

Before Hamon Lauthner could react to what Charles said, he was forcefully shoved forward and taken out of the house.Charles waited until he heard the van outside leave before he turned his attention to the Reese family, who were all staring at him in shock.His eyes settled on the man sitting on the floor, and he quickly strutted to him."Did you save a country in your past life? I envisioned I'd be the only one left standing in this house by now."Hermes didn't retort but just stared up at Charles."Before tomorrow, the Lauthner family will cease to exist. Until the Commander dies and even when he does, no one will dare to groom a family with the last name Lauthner.""The share price for their companies will take a steep fall by 10 a.m. When this happens, their company's shareholders will search for them all to no avail.""When this happens, they'll grow anxious thinking Hamon Lauthner knew something like this was going to happen and curbed his loss by running away with the company'

Scott couldn't hold it any longer and shot back at her, "If Victor Voss had succeeded in killing me yesterday, how did you intend to get your money back? Answer me, woman!"Matilda huffed and calmly wiped the stains on her lips off before retorting, "Your father may not see you as his son and may have ousted you out of your family, but that doesn't mean you'll get nothing from him when he dies.""And if you happen to die before him, I'm sure he'd give me your pension.""A shame then because you'll never get your hands on my pension. You know why? Because you are likely to die before me!" Scott harrumphed in disdain.Matilda noisily threw down her cutlery as she yelled loudly, "Scott William, how dare you curse me! Have I not done enough being your wife for more than 25 years? How much is your pension that I do not deserve, you stingy rascal!"The veins on Scott's forehead became very visible as he screamed back at her."Why do you talk like I'm the only one who made our marriage insuf

As Chloe hurried to the conference room, she took out her phone to go through the information Ann sent to the hotel's WhatsApp group.After she was done going through it, she pushed the door open and walked in."Good morning, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting," she apologized as soon as she walked in and took her stand in front of the projector.All this without looking at the people in the room."Who are you?"Chloe raised her eyes to see two men and a woman sitting across from her. The men seemed to be the woman's assistants, judging by how poised and sharp they looked, and how the woman nonchalantly buried her eyes in her phone.Chloe clasped her hands together and said calmly, "Mr. Cruz is away on a trip at the moment, and he left me in charge of the hotel and its affairs."However, the men were even more dissatisfied upon hearing this."Oh, you must be the new assistant he hired.""New? Why would Mr. Cruz have someone who just joined his company attend to us? What happened t

"Why did you say you want to sell the supermarket again, Manager Cole?" Charles asked the supermarket manager as they walked through the kitchen items section.Martin Cole sighed heavily before responding."My supermarket was subsidized by the Lauthner family. They offered to retain me as the supermarket's manager on an hourly wage of 500 dollars.""When they subsidized the market, it mainly received attention from other big families because it was a subsidiary of the Lauthner family's company.""Now that they seem to have disappeared into thin air, I'm afraid the sales will decline, and I'll incur a huge loss if I continue running it. So, I plan to sell it off while it's still worth something."Charles stopped walking and turned to look at him."I've checked out the supermarket. I like it. My assistant should be waiting for you in your office already. He'll go through the contract you've prepared with my lawyers for an hour. After that, he'll bring it for me to sign.""I hope asking

Greg Button was a middle-aged man of average height and a sturdy build. The loose T-shirt he wore did nothing to hide the scary scorpion tattoo on his arm.But his scorpion tattoo wasn't the only scary thing about him. His face was bumpy, like the home of a termite. Plus, the hard frown made it difficult for people to look at him while speaking.However, Charles was unflinchingly staring right into his eyes; the impatience in his eyes was obvious.Charles was more impatient than Ethan and Kane put together, and the fact that these men were keeping him from concluding the purchase of his gift for the Commander's daughter was greatly pissing him off.He just wanted to beat them up and get this over with, but considering the kids watching him, he decided to exercise a little patience and see if they'd be open to reasoning.Greg's frown deepened when he saw Charles' fearlessness towards him.However, he said nothing to him and instead turned his attention to his nephew."What happened her

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

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

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
