The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 40
"This is the loser causing us to lose so much money? I assumed he'd be someone worthy to look at!""Look at what his goon is doing to the Reese family house. Hermes, do more than break their arms and legs!""My eyes are tainted just by looking at him. I need to wash them once this is all over!""Hermes should've taught him a lesson outside the Reese family house. Why let trash into the Reese family house? It's such a headache."Ethan glanced at his watch. He needed to visit the company he purchased before 12 to see how things were going. So, he didn't want to spend too much time dealing with the Reese family. Furthermore, they weren't worth his time."You're right. That's enough playing with you. Kane!" Ethan sneered coldly and called out to Kane.An elated Kane breezily whipped through the air and around the five men.The Reese family saw nothing happening besides hearing painful loud cries and the sound of bones being snapped into it.Hermes was smiling smugly, knowing fully well th

"Mr. Reese, we did everything we could to save your son's leg, but his femur, tibia, patella, fibula, and tarsal bones were shattered beyond repair. We were able to minimize the pain from his broken legs, but that's all we were able to do. Unfortunately, he'll have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life," the doctor announced in the quiet hospital ward belonging to Hermes Reese.The room was filled to the brim with every member of the Reese family. Most of them began whispering amongst themselves in hushed voices while some sneered in secret and others became agitated and began laying curses on Ethan Black.The most agitated of them was Kira Melville, but not because of the condition her son was in."What does that mean? What will now happen to the Reese family if Hermes is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life? Does that mean Jethro will take over the family's assets?" She turned to the middle-aged man standing beside Hermes' bed and questioned worriedly.Killian

Chloe frowned upon hearing him. "Excuse me?" Matt's face stretched further into a lustful, wide smile. "Come on, Ms. William. I heard you're married to a loser. He abandoned you days after your marriage and wasn't there for you when you needed him the most. For the past six years, you've been alone. You even raised your daughter alone, enduring mockery because of what your loser husband did to you. I'm offering you an opportunity to turn your pitiful life around and give your daughter all the luxuries life has to offer." "Mr. Peterson, I am a married woman. Even if everything you've said is true, I am still a married woman with a daughter. Please, never speak to me about this matter ever again!" Chloe warned sternly, struggling to detach her hand from his.However, Matt continued holding onto it tightly. "Don't be like that, Chloe. We're not children anymore. Married or not, there are sacrifices we all have to make once in a while. Besides, I don't see you wearing a wedding ring.

When Ethan finished with the Reese family, he got into his car and drove straight to Astoria Corporation with Kane."Who's that? He's handsome.""They both are.""Yes, they are. But the other one looks more manly, handsome, and my type of men."Ethan and Kane alighted from the Koenigsegg Jesko in Astoria Corporation's vicinity to hear some girls giggling behind their backs.The girls were huddled together and whispering amongst themselves, but somehow, the boys standing opposite them and leaning on the back of a sportscar heard them.They glanced at the said 'handsome men' and scoffed in annoyance after analyzing what kind of people they were."The car isn't branded. What kind of person moves around in an unbranded car?" The first boy scoffed after spending more than five seconds looking at the Koenigsegg Jesko over."Most importantly, they look very ordinary. And they are driving around in an unbranded car, which I heard can be gotten with just a few dollar bills. My Lamborghini cost

Claire's eyes flickered as they snapped towards Paul's friends' direction."What did you say about my sister?" She swallowed aggressively and slipped her phone into her pocket, totally ignoring what the voice behind her said.The younger daughter of Scott William was known to be outrightly aggressive whenever she was offended, and she never let anyone go regardless of who they were.But her anger could be appeased with an apology. However, whenever a snide remark was made about her sister, she would never let it go.The boy who had made the remark was a petite boy with brown hair. He scoffed, stepped forward, and clicked his tongue in a haughty manner while maintaining eye contact with her."I said your sister is a slut. Six years ago, she was envied by everyone in Springdale and took the William family forward by signing contracts with corporations way higher than the William family. No one said anything back then because they were afraid of offending your family, but they all knew s

The security men, rushing to beat up Ethan, were the first to recognize the man in an impeccably pressed three-piece suit. He looked to be in his early forties and had a dignified air around him."Mr. Haworth, you're here. I apologize for letting you see something like this. Please give me a few minutes to take care of these eyesores!" The security man who had shoved the assistant aside scurried up to Josiah Haworth and apologized with his face turned towards the ground."Yes, Mr. Haworth. We just encountered a brief problem with these troublemakers, and we were just about to resolve it before you came." Another security man hurriedly seconded, and soon, everyone was nodding their heads in agreement.Hearing it was just some troublemakers, Josiah immediately lost interest. And here he thought Mr. Black was already here."Hurry up and take care of it then. I'll be having a very important guest in a few minutes. I wouldn't want him to meet such an unsightly scene." He hummed leisurely,

Lona was stunned for a moment by his words, before she quickly retorted."What? The Jespersen family is a second tier family in Springdale. We may not have the support of the Wellington or head a big corporation like Astoria Corporation, but we do we're well known in the real estate business." "The Jespersen family? Real estate business? Still doesn't ring a bell." Josiah didn't bother thinking too hard on the referenced family and brushed her aside. He shifted his attention to Claire who was looking at him expectantly and his heart raced again. "Y-you're Mr. Black's sister-in-law?" Seeing how he has treated a big family like the Jespersen family, Claire immediately became worried knowing he'd take it out with the William family for their son-in-law causing a scene in his company. So she hurried to Ethan's side and tried to drag him to Josiah. "Apologize to Chairman Haworth for the disrespectful way you spoke to him! right now!" She yelled at him as soon as they were standing bef

Before the elderly man could say anything, the security men kneeling on the floor beat him to it."Chairman Haworth, please believe me when I say I didn't know he was your guest. If I had known, I would've taken good care of him. Those insolent kids earlier threatened us with making our lives miserable if we didn't drag him out of the vicinity. We were just following orders!" One of them pleaded in a loud voice and began hitting his forehead on the floor to show his sincerity."He didn't look like someone who should be in Astoria Corporation, so we fell for their lies that he is a loser. It was really not our intention to treat your guest this way!" Another pleaded, trying to pin all the blame on Ramsey and his friends."You tried to treat him this way because of how he was dressed? You, a mere security man, tried to drive out the..."Before he could complete his sentence with 'owner of Astoria Corporation from his company,' Ethan placed a hand on his neck and cleared his throat.This

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
