"Boss? You're delusional if you think this little show of strength can cripple the Kendrick family. When we come for you two, Ethan Black won't be able to protect himself, let alone protect you." Jonas immediately laughed out in mockery."The Kendrick family has been existing for decades and will continue to exist. Unfortunately for you, you'll be the last of your lineage!""Why the silence? If physical strength were more important than wealth, numerous families would prioritize it. So don't be fooled into believing someone as wretched as him can be your master, provided you do everything he asks. It's not too late for the Kendrick family to accept you back. All you have to do is do away with this wretched eyesore right here and now!" Eric spat out in a venomous tone.A short silence ensued. It was during this time that a thoughtful Ethan reasoned out loud, "The Kendrick family has been around for decades, and you're barely a first-tier family? That's embarrassing."Eric's face turned

When Chloe arrived at the Kendrick family house and saw their gate pulled down with Ethan's car in the middle of the compound, she became even more flustered.Ethan had caused such a scene; given what she knew about them, they'd never let this slide.So, when she rushed into the living room and saw someone pointing a revolver at Ethan, she panicked and called out to him, "Ethan!"Before she could blink, she saw the man with the revolver shift it towards her. Her brain instinctively issued a command for her to close her eyes.Even though she hadn't been shot before, she had watched numerous movies and heard about the experiences of people who have been shot before. From their experiences, it was a pain worse than death.She had her eyelids tightly pressed together, awaiting the pain. But one second turned into ten, and she slowly peeled her eyes open to see why she was yet to feel the effect of the bullet.Ethan's gentle smile as he towered over her was the first thing her eyes met."E

"Ah!" Jonas screamed in agony as blood spilled from the bullet wound on his thigh. Steven had shot his broken leg."Whatever you think you're doing, stop it! Right now!" Eric ordered sternly and tried to move toward his son, but Steven pressed the other revolver to the side of his head again."You don't seem to get it, do you? Right now, I'm the one everyone should listen to because I've got the gun," Steven said coldly."If Jonas doesn't get immediate medical attention, he'd bleed to death. Let's halt whatever this is until we are certain he'd be fine," Eric gritted his teeth worriedly, glancing at his son who was writhing in pain."That is none of my business, Eric. In fact…"Steven placed both revolvers on the floor, kicked one towards Jonas, and the other to Eric's foot."Pick up the revolvers and aim them at yourselves. The first person to pull the trigger lives," he announced with a broad smile."You don't know what you're doing, Steven. Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Ethan frowned at her action and was about to slide his arm out when he heard her whisper, "Please cooperate."Her voice was unlike the haughty one he knew, and she was gripping his arm tightly. Claire William, who had an ever-sharp mouth, was panicking."Claire, I see you came with your boyfriend. I failed to inform everyone in the group chat early. Hope it wasn't inconvenient for you?" Elizabeth Hatcher feigned concern as she held the arm of a man.The Hatcher family was a wealthy family in Springdale, popularly known for being number one in the real estate business.Cole Hatcher was said to refurbish any house given to him into something even better and branded. Hence, both the buyers and the previous owners of the house were always satisfied whenever he made a sale.Having him as a real estate agent was said to be the best thing to happen to anyone looking for a house.Being his daughter, Elizabeth had a lot of influential people doting on her and always wanting to do things for he

"Th-that's just too much to ask for!" Claire was taken aback by his demand.She disliked Ethan and used any opportunity she got to mock him, but it didn't sit well with her seeing an outsider say such words to her sister's husband.“What do you say is too much to ask for? Someone like him should be grateful Mr. Green is giving him the pleasure of touching his shoes!” Anna Clifford snickered.One or two times in high school, everyone standing opposite Claire had felt oppressed by her. Now, seeing that she had amounted to nothing in life, no one bothered to stand up for her.Elizabeth saw an opportunity to humiliate Claire and smirked.“What are you waiting for? Tell your brother-in-law to hurry it up. If he cleans well, Wells might consider employing him to clean shoes for him. It might sound like a mediocre job, but he'll earn two times the amount a soldier makes in a month.”Seeing Ethan made no move to do what he asked, Wells raised a brow. “You won't do it? Fair enough. Then I gues

"What is going on here?" an authoritative voice asked from the hotel’s entrance, halting the actions of the security guards and drawing everyone's attention to its owner.Wells quickly recognized and hurried to him."Mr. Webber, what are you doing here? Is my father around?" He sounded jittery as he kept staring behind his father's assistant."No, he isn't." David Webber's reply was a little cold and not at all like what everyone had expected him to sound like given he was talking to the son of his boss.He didn't spare Wells another glance as he strolled past him to the receptionist’s desk."Where is the hotel manager?" He asked her."He was having a meeting with Mr. Wilkins earlier today before he suddenly left to do something." Replied the receptionist, and Wells immediately scoffed."So, Mr. Wilkins is right here in the hotel. You have no idea how scary the Wilkins family can be when they find out there's someone claiming to be one of them!"David Webber frowned slightly and turne

There was a pin-drop silence in the entire room as everyone watched as Charles took the piece of paper.Almost immediately, a group of people with briefcases walked out of the elevator and towards Charles. They didn't need to introduce themselves for people to know they were the Wilkins family lawyers.Charles quickly read through the contract before he reached out his hand and was immediately handed a pen by Levi.He found a chair and placed the contract on it then signed.“This is the hotel transfer agreement. I asked them to make it as simple as possible.” He handed it over to Ethan once he was done.Ethan didn't bother to read the words on the agreement and directly signed something under the place provided for his signature.Charles took back the piece of paper and was a little surprised to see what Ethan had written, but he didn't dwell much on it as he handed it directly to the lawyers behind Levi.It took a few minutes before the transfer was done, and in those few minutes, a

Suite 1212, Pearl Hotel, was occupied by the Wilton twins.“Did you hear? Yesterday evening, Monty Green's son offended someone he shouldn't have. Charles Wilkins happened to be there and surprisingly on this stranger's side. Long story short, this hotel is no longer owned by the Wilkins family.”Preston revealed, walking into his sister's room with his tablet.“Hotels change ownership every now and then; it's nothing surprising.” Priscilla sat in front of her study desk, in her pajamas, going through the Wilton family's company financial report for the past few months.“I said the same too until I saw this.” He dropped the tablet in front of her.Priscilla paused what she was doing and took up the tablet seeing the words written in bold, “The Green family declares bankruptcy and seems to have disappeared overnight.”She glanced at him. “What is the story?”Preston reached out and scrolled down to the comment sections.“I was there yesterday. At first, I thought the man was in trouble

Five Years Later Hiding in her closet with her identical twin brothers, ten-year-old Honey William dangled a chocolate box in their faces. “I’ll give you this if you sit still and don’t say a word until I’m done.” The boys shifted uncomfortably, their eyes pinned to the chocolate box. “Mommy got upset the last time you used us as your face models. Shouldn’t you stop already?” “Yeah, don’t get mommy upset. You know she’s scary when she’s upset.” Honey grimaced and placed a hand on her hip. Lowering her eyes to the boxes, she sighed sadly. “Did you hear that, chocolate? Jaxon and Kaiden don’t want you anymore. I love my brothers, but I can’t do anything if they don’t want you.” “You look delicious, but you have nuts, which I’m allergic to. So I’m just going to drop you in the trash, even if you are Jaxon and Kaiden’s favorite chocolate brand. What a pity they’ve moved on from you.” With a heavy sigh, she slowly walked to the trash, exaggeratedly pressed it open with her foot, a

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
