Hearing him, Lewis recalled what Ethan had done to him and he thanked Jethro again, “In that case, the William family will repay Mr. Reese with whatever thing he asks of once this is over.”Ethan briefly glanced at the men rushing towards him before slipping out his ringing phone.“Is this Mr. Black?” A man asked as soon as Ethan answered.“Yes.”“Oh, this is Josiah Haworth, the manager of the company you bought. I'm calling to ask if you have any orders for me.” “A moment.” Ethan took the phone down from his ear and grabbed the stick which one of the five people rushing towards him was wielding. Then he unhurriedly used it to whip all five of them at the same place; the back of their necks.Three of them fell to the ground and couldn't get up again, but two of them persisted. They were the two people Jethro Reese had his faith in.When Lewis saw they hadn't fallen like the others, he grew bolder and sneered at Ethan.“Despite everything you've done, the William family has done noth

The man hired by the Reese family was dumbfounded. This was his first time meeting someone who was willing to walk straight to his death. He stared at Ethan like he was looking at a fool for some seconds before agreed with a nod of his head. “Of course I'll take you to the Reese family house!” “Mr. Black, we meet again.” A familiar voice which sounded elated came up behind Ethan. Ethan recognized the voice and tilted his head towards it to see a tall and man standing behind him. Daniel Voltia, the man who had sworn his loyalty to Ethan at the Kendrick family house. Ethan hadn't moved the whole time because he was worried Chloe would see the man he killed. So he remained in the same position thinking of how to hide it from her view. But now, he realized Daniel Voltia was blocking her view. Unless she came out of the car and walked towards him, it was impossible for her to see what was going on in front of him. “Do you know who the Reese family is?” Ethan asked, dropping the limp

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Lewis yelled as he rushed into the William family residence.Adam William, who was standing on the balcony inside the house, was immediately displeased."What are you shouting for?""Grandpa!" Lewis swallowed, looking towards the balcony. "I just saw that good-for-nothing kill someone."Adam frowned. "Good-for-nothing?""That loser, Ethan Black, who's sponging off us!" Lewis nodded.Adam immediately lost interest in what his grandson had to say."I've told you not to be bothered by someone like him. The William family will take care of him at a later date... wait, he killed someone?" He changed his words when Lewis' words registered."Yes, grandpa! I saw it with my own eyes. I-I was with Jethro Reese just some minutes ago. He was disrespected by that loser, so he took some people with him to teach him a lesson. He even had people who were in the army before with him. I thought we'd finally be able to put an end to that rascal, only to see him impale one of the men

A man suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards Daniel with an iron rod, but he saw him coming and dodged to the side.The man lunged back at him again with full speed, and he kicked out the iron rod from his hand before slamming his foot at his thigh. The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground clutching his broken leg.Daniel wiped off an invisible dirt from his sleeves and looked up at the three people in front of him.“So weak. If this is all the Reese family has to their name, I wonder why they are so proud. You must be Hermes Reese, the infamous helmsman of the Reese family,” he said as his eyes settled on the most serious-looking of them.Reese pushed up his glasses and pressed his lips together in a tight frown.“Who's this rude bastard?” He didn't even look at Daniel as he spoke.“I have no clue, but if he was able to take down all of our men guarding the house, then he's no ordinary person,” the family member replied.“He said something about the live-in son-in-

By the time they got home, Honey was already fast asleep in Ethan's arm.Chloe pushed the door open to see a full house. For the first time in several months, she saw her father dressed decently and seated on a couch. Although he held a bottle of gin, this was the most sober she had seen him in months.“Bastard! How dare you set foot back in this house after what you did to the William family?!” Scott William suddenly got up and yelled as soon as he saw Ethan.“The scumbag…wait, who the hell do you think you are to ask him that?” Out of habit, Matilda was about to insult Ethan when she recalled the bundle of money he had given her in the morning.Although that didn't change her impression of him, she didn't want to say anything that'd make him stop giving it to her. At least until she finds someone wealthy who'd be willing to marry Chloe.Her change of words surprised Claire. She dropped her phone and looked up at her mother, then asked worriedly, “Mom, did you hit your head somewhere,

Chloe told Claire and a curious Matilda all that happened in the restaurant, including the part of Charles being an acquaintance of Ethan's."Really?" Matilda and Claire blurted out at the same time.While Matilda saw the information as a reason to extort more money from Ethan, Claire couldn't help but think back to what happened at Pearl Hotel.Ever since that incident, she had suspicions about Ethan. In her defense, no one would have an acquaintance like the Wilkins family heir and be so calm about it. The whole world would've heard about it as it meant having people worshipping you just so you could put in a good word for them in front of the Wilkins.One could only be calm if he didn't know Charles' identity, but Ethan knew of it. Furthermore, a friend wouldn't grovel like a servant at the feet of his friend. What she saw at Pearl hotel looked more like Charles was trying to please Ethan.Claire immediately shook her head at the thought. There was nothing extraordinary about Ethan.

A few minutes after Claire left her room, Chloe got up to check on Honey. Claire's room was just opposite hers. So when Chloe saw the door ajar, she got curious and pushed the door open. Her intention was just to look and confirm Claire was on the bed, but when she looked and didn't see her, the sleep left her eyes, and she switched on the light and walked into the room."Claire?" she called and walked around the room. "Claire, are you in the toilet?" She searched the room for two minutes before she realized her sister was gone and quickly ran into Honey's room, where Ethan was standing by the window with his phone pressed against his ear. Hearing someone come in, he turned around with cold eyes, but they turned gentle when he saw it was Chloe.He was about to tell her there was no reason for her to check up on their daughter when she ran towards him, and the reflection coming from the moon outside illuminated the worried look on her face. "Ethan! Claire is missing! No, she has been

Upon receiving the order, Kane charged forward without hesitation and kicked the exquisite door and the stone monument with the name 'Reese' carved on it, smashing it into pieces.The flying stone debris smashed against the huge tempered glass door with a loud bang, and glass shards scattered all over the floor.For some reason, every member of the Reese family had convened in the living room for a meeting. So when they heard the sudden noise, they were frightened and began screaming loudly, looking for places to hide.After the incident with Daniel, Hermes replaced the men around the house with stronger and more experienced individuals.So when the burly men saw the ruckus Ethan and Kane had made, they immediately surrounded them."How dare you make trouble here? Do you know where you are?" Their leader stepped forward and glared at Ethan and Kane hostilely."Isn't this the Reese family house?" Ethan asked icily."So you know where you are. Then I assume you must you're in big troubl

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

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

Because the top men the Wellington family controlled never came out unless it was a serious situation, Declan had Marvin Phelps send his best men to protect him. With the dozens of men crawling around every inch of his home, he finally felt at ease.That evening, Butler Ambrose walked into the living room to remind him of something. “Master, your date with Annie Ashworth of the royal family is in one hour. Do you have any orders for me?” Declan unhurriedly patted the armrest, a thoughtful look on his face. Ever since his father fell into coma, they had been talks. And he could feel the resolves of the families backing them wavering. But after using Marvin Phelps to remind them whom the Wellington family were, they didn’t dare think of stabbing him the back. However, that bastard suddenly decided to show up and it became impossible to shut their wagging tongues. Families were now openly opposing him when they realized he kept losing to Ethan somehow. Putting him in the middle

Wexford That evening, Declan Wellington felt cooped up at home, so he left the house to spend the day golfing with a close friend of the Wellingtons who owned a golf course. They golfed together for three hours before they got tired and drove to his house to rest. Marvin Phelps poured him a drink before asking politely, “This may be out of place for me to ask, Mr. Wellington, but you seemed out of it throughout today. Is anything the matter?” “What?” An absent-minded Declan didn’t know when he blurted out, glancing at him. Marvin Phelps sat up, now fully convinced there was something on Declan’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he cautiously continued, “What is the problem? Is anyone troubling you? Say the word and I’ll have that person’s legs crushed to bits and forcefully drag them here!” Declan raised his eyes to look at him. Even if he said nothing, his eyes lit up a little when he recalled who Marvin was. The Phelps family was headed by this man despit
