The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 170
Scott got to where the rich scions were standing and swiftly turned to his side, slurring loudly as he smashed the beer bottle on the head of the fat man drinking with a pretty lady. "Piece of trash, you should be in jail instead of drinking in a bar!"The lady shrieked in fright and ran to hide somewhere seeing crimson blood trailing down the side of her partner's head. The fat man was putting on a black suit with a white shirt inside. In just some seconds, his white shirt was already drenched in blood. The bartender quickly handed him a towel which he used to stop the bleeding before he got up and glared at Scott. Matt Peterson gritted his teeth in anger, his entire body trembling all over in rage as he yelled at the top of his voice, "Who is this? Who is this rascal? Has this place become a place where just anyone can come to?"The bartender rushed to Matt's side and hurriedly apologized, "My apologies, Mr. Peterson. I'll take care of this."He took out his phone to call the se

"You—" Matt Peterson was startled for a moment before he regained confidence again and scoffed. "Hmph! Enemies always meet, don't they?" The corners of Ethan's lips hooked into a demeaning smile. "Enemies? What are you talking about? You're not fit to be my enemy." Matt Peterson was aggravated by his smile. All his life he was always the one looking down on those beneath him. How dare a nobody give him such a demeaning smile! "Cocky that much? Is the little moves you know making you cocky? Or do you think you'd be able to beat me up the way you did the other day? If that's what you think, then I must commend you for having such a wishful thinking!" As he finished speaking, Ethan saw people getting to their feet from the corners of his eyes. Oh, no wonder he isn't afraid. He came with more men. Matt raised his shoulders even higher when the remaining bar fighters surrounded Ethan and Scott with their fingers wrapped against the handle of their knives. Seeing this, the other cus

Seeing that all of his men were rolling on the ground, crying loudly, Matt Peterson swallowed forcefully and took a step back in retreat.He was no idiot. Ethan had managed to subdue so many bar fighters without hurting a finger. If he, who had no knowledge about fighting, tried to challenge him, he'd be in a worse state than these men.Ethan watched his every move, then slipped his hands into his pocket and hooked his lips upward. "I asked you a question."Although he sounded calm, there seemed to be an underlying coldness in his voice that instantly made goosebumps appear on Matt's body."Matt Peterson, do you really not remember what you said just now? Shall I jog your memory just a little bit?" Ethan asked and raised his brows.Even though he didn't sound hostile, Matt found his words intimidating.After thinking of a million and one things he could do to get out of the bar alive, Matt suddenly flashed a bright smile at Ethan."Mr. Black, was it? What I said, regardless of how man
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 173
"Wh-what? Isn't that a little too much?" Matt Peterson outrightly refused. Ethan tilted his head to the side and raised a questioning brow, asking in a bland voice, "You can't do it?" Matt Peterson placed his trembling hands beside him and laughed nervously. "No, that's not what I'm trying to say. I'm just saying there's no need to go to such extents when we can easily resolve this with money." "You live with your wife's family, don't you? If I'm correct, the house you're all living in is shabby. Your clothes aren't very good and I bet you don't have a good car, that's if you have any to begin with.""Your wife lost her job the other day because of me, so she doesn't have a job at the moment. And you don't seem to have either. If you do, then I assure you I can find you a job with a better pay and condition."Ethan stared at him blankly the whole time. When he finished, he sighed lightly and took down the phone. "So you won't do it." Matt hurriedly waved his hands in front of him
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 174
Matt Peterson shamefully recounted everything he had done before Ethan saved the video and put away his phone. "Thank you for your cooperation. May we never meet again, but if we do and you see me first, run as fast as your legs can carry you. I'm merely managing to hold back from breaking your legs in two." Matt wanted to say something, but when his eyes met that of the bar fighter's standing beside Ethan, he swallowed back the words he was about to say. He got up and rushed out of the bar, leaving the bar fighters he had come with behind. They expected Ethan to say something to tell them, but instead, he just turned to Scott who was smiling proud at the turn of event. He wasn't saying anything, but everyone could hear him proudly shouting, "That's my son-in-law! That my amazing son-in-law!" "Father-in-law, do you have anywhere else to go to this afternoon?"Scott thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not at all. Just take me home. The sight of seeing me sober will surely i

“Is something wrong with your eyes? Can you not see well? Because it doesn’t look like you can! Do you know how much I got this pant? I had it specially flown in from abroad but it ends up being ruined by a server? Gosh, this is annoying!” “I’m sorry, sir. I’m really sorry, sir. It was not mh intention to spill the source on you. Please forgive me.” Chloe rushed out of thr elevator after being called by the server and her breath hitched worriedly when she saw a server standing beside a table with her eyes lowered to the floor apologetically. But that wasn’t what made her worried. What made her worried was the fact the voice of the man she heard sounded extremely familiar. It sounded too much like that of…“Lewis, don’t take it out on the poor server. If not for anything, but she isn’t the one at fault. We should blame the person in charge of training the servers for the mistake she made.” Chloe’s eyes shifted to the beautiful lady beside him who had spoken. She sat opposite Lewis

The server had heard Lewis introduce himself. So even though she agreed with Chloe that he is as indeed disrupting the peace of the other customers, she was hesitant to call the security. The William had somehow gotten the favor of Josiah Haworth of Astoria Corporation which made them become a first tier family in such a short time. They were the top family in Springdale at the moment which everyone wanted to cooperate with. She pursed he lips tightly and asked worriedly, "Ms. William, are you sure?" Lewis scoffed in disbelief, leaned backward and folded her arms around his chest. "Yes, are you sure? You do know I'm not the same person you knew some months ago. The person standing in front of you isn't the Lewis William who cowered in front of you." "The person standing in front of you is a member of the highly esteemed William family. Not just a mere member, but the one who'll helm it in the future." Chloe clenched her fist tightly, gulping down nervously. Sh"I know exactly w

"What is going on here? Ms. Chloe, what is going on here?" Chloe clenched her jaw tightly when she heard Ann's voice behind her. Ann walked past her and stopped a meter away from her. Lewis noticed she was dressed formally and like a staff of the hotel. He met her eyes and looked away whilst snorting heavily."Are you the supervisor around here? You need to keep these servers in check. I'm already doing the hotel a huge favour coming to pay and eat here. Do you know how many hotels have invited me to dine in their hotels for free? Gosh, this is annoying!"Ann's eyes quickly swept around his body as she took notice of the luxury goods he decked himself in. From the brand of his clothes down to his expensive shoes. "Don't be like that, sir. Pearl Hotel is glad to have you dine with us. I don't know what happened here, but we can't afford to lose such a valuable customer. Tell me what they did so I can take action."Lewis huffed haughtily, still looking away from her. He seemed disin

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
Chapter 271
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

Knowing he was the most influential person in Wexford at the moment, Ethan hadn’t cleared out the restaurant since it’d attract attention. But a quick glance around the restaurant and Fitzroy and Annie Ashworth found the group they were looking for. However, they didn’t take another step forward and performed a practiced salute with a serious look on their faces. This sudden action of theirs stunned the other customers.“Who are those and what are they doing?” “Is it some kind of ritual? Or are they filming a movie? I don’t see a camera anywhere though.” “That salute… are they in the army? Does that mean there’s a high ranking army official in our midst right now?” “No way! I heard the Commander is in Wexford. Could they be saluting him? Does that mean he’s in the same room as me?” “Hey, that is too far off. Look at their clothes. It doesn’t look ordinary. That insignia, isn’t that the royal family’s?” “What do you know? Don’t you know members of the royal family of Wexford se
