The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 96
Paul Michigan and the thug with him froze for a moment when they turned to see the pathetic state the muscular men they had brought to beat up Ethan were in."What...how could this happen? These guys are the best on the streets," the thug stuttered, eyes still wide open in disbelief as he stared at the muscular men.A few of them were fortunate to hit their heads against something and pass out, putting a pause on the pain from the bones sticking out from their arms and legs.While the rest were unfortunate to remain conscious. The intense pain from their broken bones didn't let them black out and at the same time, the pain dulled their brain, forcefully keeping them awake.The thug braced himself and moved closer to where the muscular men were. He glanced at every one of them groaning in pain on the floor and clutching their broken parts before he kicked the person closest to him."H-hey! What do you think you're doing? You can't even take someone like him. Think about the huge amount

Ethan pressed the thug's face to the ground, leaving him no space to do anything besides look at the things in front of him."Let go of me! Let go of me! You must be tired of living!" The thug kept screaming, desperately wriggling his body to escape Ethan, all to no avail.Ethan's leg on him was way more painful than he thought it would be. He could even feel the man's weight crushing his skull.Seeing Ethan didn't seem like he would let go anytime soon, the thug could only turn to Paul Michigan helplessly."Mr. Michigan, please help me!" The thug's mouth was pressing against the floor, hence his words were barely audible.However, Paul Michigan was standing close enough to hear him, but he didn't bother despite hearing the man call for help. The thug was just a means to an end anyway.Now that he knew Daniel Voltia's right-hand man was on his way, Paul was now back to being arrogant.The accuracy and casual display of strength Ethan had used when he swatted back the muscular men and

A man of 5'9", with a commanding demeanor and a complacent look on his face, unhurriedly walked into the pub with his hands clasped behind him and his nose held high up in the air.Behind him was a group consisting of four boys. They were the same height as him and had the same commanding demeanor.The man was yet completely into the room when the thug limped towards him and dropped to his knees in front of him, stopping him from walking forward.The thug gripped the man by his pants' leg and sniffled exaggeratedly, looking up to reveal the white lines on his cheeks as a result of his dried tears."Brother, thank God you're here! If you had come even a second later than this, your younger brother would've been trampled to death by a total loser!"The man looked down at him, the corners of his lips curling up in utter disgust as he shook the thug's hands away."Loser? What? You couldn't even take care of someone like that? Your brother is the right-hand man of Daniel Voltia, and you ca

The thug failed to notice the underlying fear in Jonathan's tone, the thug limped forward and nodded his head repeatedly in agreement."That's right. It's Ethan Black, Chloe William's loser husband who disappeared a few days after getting married to her and still returned as a loser six years later!""This scumbag doesn't know his limit. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he spent a few years in the army.""Today, we'll make him understand that this is Springdale. And Springdale is a town where only the rich and powerful live!"The manager of the pub, whom Ethan had just released his grip on her wrist, snorted loudly, wiping away the tears falling down her eyes as she rushed to Jonathan and hid behind him."He stayed in the army for six years? No wonder he has such a strong grip! Mr. Warrick, please teach this bastard a lesson!"Paul hissed from where he sat, lowering his eyes to his nails to remove the nonexistent dirt from them."Even the head of the William family h

"It hurts! It hurts so much, Jonathan! Please, make it stop!" Solomon Warrick yelped in pain, desperately trying to wriggle out of Jonathan's grip, but the man pressed his face harder into the floor. Then he raised his eyes to meet Ethan's and exhaled sharply. "Please forgive him, Commander. And forgive me for failing to train him right." "Jonathan, please hurry up and call the ambulance. I'm in severe pain. Please, hurry up!" Solomon kept screaming, his voice already sounding hoarse. While Jonathan's action astounded everyone, the corners of Ethan's lips spasmed in surprise. No wonder he was able to maintain his position as Daniel Voltia's right-hand man for so many years. He wasn't only good at following orders; he was also good at thinking for himself. While from other people's point of view, Solomon's knee was completely shattered, Ethan and Jonathan knew that wasn't the case. The manner he had struck the knee looked like he had used a lot of force, but in reality, it was

Paul froze; the pub manager froze; everyone froze.Jonathan Warrick curled his lips upward and stared right at Paul while still talking to the officer on the phone.The officer spoke for some seconds before Jonathan hummed, "I'll be in the station before the end of the day. Thank you for your help."A tense silence set into the room as he ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket.Realizing Jonathan refused to be reasoned with, Paul's eyes clouded over and he snorted arrogantly, "Do you really think you are big enough to go against the Michigan family?"Jonathan didn't know when his eyes darted to Ethan before he hurriedly retracted them and shrugged his shoulders calmly."Of course not. I'm a mere thug to begin with. No sane person would side with a thug who's up against a top-tier family like the Michigan family.""But that's even more reason why the public and police will believe me; because I'm a thug who will do anything for money."Paul's nose flared seeing sense in h

Chloe stood in front of the big building with the words "Pearl Hotel" written boldly and a gigantic carved pearl attached to it.She stared at the five-story building for a long time before she glanced down at the résumé in her hand.From the list Ethan had compiled and kept on her desk, this was the only place left for her to apply to for employment. The other places she applied to all rejected her for one reason or another.Their reasons, of course, made no sense, but who was she to question them?Pearl Hotel was the number one hotel in Springdale and had maintained its position for so long.Since the other places, which were small in comparison to Pearl Hotel, had rejected her, Chloe didn't have much hope that she'd be accepted.However, she promised Ethan she'd apply to each and every one of them. She has to keep her promise. If Pearl Hotel didn't accept her, she'd just have to think of something else to do.Chloe walked into the building and straight to the reception. She handed o

One of them leaned back in his seat and sneered mirthlessly. "It's not a crime to have a poor husband, but it is a crime to come to your highschool reunion with the cheap things he bought you. If you don't respect yourself, at least respect the people you'll be meeting." Rose Goldberg exhaled calmly, a smile tugging the corner of her lips as she folded her hands underneath her bosom and rebuked the male classmate. "That's too much too say. I think the right thing to say is to at least borrow something decent. You don't have to show the world you're married to a pauper and living a miserable life." "I can't exactly remember where I heard it before, but it did say to keep asking and you'll receive. Chloe William, don't tell me you left the house dressed this way so you can beg us for alms." One of the male classmate who had welcomed Chloe turned to her and questioned."Huh? Is your family really lacking? You should say something if you're in need. Most of of us here, if not all of

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
