Ethan got out of the car and pulled on his jacket with a sharp gaze straight at the villa building in front of him. Then he shouted, "Split up and block all roads! Take out anyone who dares to resist!""Yes!" Dozens of bodyguards ran quickly to carry out their employer's orders.Two men already in front of the main door in unison forced it open wide.Ethan walked up the stairs and entered the villa, followed by five bodyguards, while on either side of the car were two more men guarding Hazel, who was inside."Search all the rooms; don't miss one!" he boomed.Suddenly, they immediately ran in different directions and checked each room carefully. The bathroom and even the cabinet and refrigerator were not spared from their search.Ethan looked at them and then slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.At the top, there were many rooms facing the hallway on the right. But Ethan just glanced at it and turned to the left hallway, paying attention to his surroundings and continuing h
"Shit!" Ethan cursed lowly and chose to stare back at the man in his arms, increasing his strength until he staggered out of breath and pushed him roughly to the side.Coincidentally, there was a pile of discarded tables and chairs, and he hit his head hard. The man was instantly unconscious.Ethan just looked at him flatly, then turned to stare at the dozens of people in front of him while rolling up his shirt sleeves. "It turns out that your preparations were much more thorough than I expected. I feel honored.""Stop talking nonsense! You've entered the boss's villa without permission, and now you've even injured our two friends. You deserve to be in hell. Attack!"The biggest man with a beard on his face raised his hand holding a whip and shouted loudly.Ethan looked at him fiercely. But the five people on the man's right side were already running forward, about to attack him with their weapons. Suddenly, he dodged and kept dodging to the side."If you're a man, show some fight!" s
However, even though several seconds had passed, none of them were willing to answer. All of them were silent with fearful glances.Seeing that, Ethan smiled wryly. "They're your men, right? But why don't I see any cohesiveness in you guys?"The Leader growled angrily, but he could do nothing but obey since his safety was in the hands of that cruel man."If I tell them to leave, do you think they will really leave?" Ethan whispered while looking at the Leader with his mocking smile."Do you think they're like your subordinates who never come to rescue you?" Although with difficulty, the Leader still replied to Ethan's words sarcastically. "They are like that because you made threats using me. They care too much and don't want me to get hurt at the hands of a crazy loser like you.""Oh yeah?" Ethan chuckled softly and turned his gaze to the few men who were still standing there motionless. "Well then, how about we prove it? You wouldn't mind, right?""Don't expect you to touch them, da
With the reported kidnapping of Mr. Leif and his wife and the arrest of a group of thugs as the culprits, the previously ignorant public is now buzzing about it.Although they felt sorry for the couple, they wondered more about this. About who the culprits were, their purpose, and who had helped find Mr. Leif.Comment after comment was exchanged, and most thought that the culprit was an enemy of Mr. Leif's company, as that kind of thing was common in the business world.The bodyguard that Hazel had ordered to the police station did his job well. Of course, without dragging the name of Mr. Celeste, let alone Mr. Ethan. The only witnesses were Mr. Leif and his wife.At first, the thugs were unhappy and were about to attack Ethan's bodyguard because they thought they had been cheated, but after hearing that Ethan would meet them after recovering, they just obeyed.But surprisingly, a few hours after the news of Mr. Leif's kidnapping was released, everything related to it suddenly disappe
"Alvina," Ariana called softly as she reached for Alvina's hand. "Lower your tone. He's our father, you can't yell at him like that. Besides, isn't it good that your achievements are public knowledge? Your name could become more famous. This is a good opportunity.""A good opportunity? Maybe it would be if it happened to you, but I'm different. I don't like this kind of thing at all. Sis, you know very well how I am. Since the beginning of the company, I would rather be recognised, not acknowledged," Alvina retorted, pulling her hand roughly."Isn't that the same thing? This way, people will know your greatness and acknowledge it. In a trivial matter like this that clearly doesn't harm you at all, you shouldn't be angry. Even if you don't want to say thank you, at least there's no need to blame Father," replied Ariana, who was still full of tenderness.Her figure like this made her aura as the eldest sister who would become the leader of the family look even more outstanding.There wa
Ethan turned his gaze to Zinnia, who ran a little towards him. The girl wearing a pink floral dress with a large bow in her hair immediately hugged Ethan tightly while crying dramatically. "We've just been reunited after so long apart, but you're already leaving me for good. Do you hate me so much that you don't want to see me anymore?""As long as you want to stay, I'm willing to keep my distance from you and won't bother you. One meter, how about that? Is that enough? Come back, Ethan. Don't leave me. If you leave, then who will be my hero?"Hazel stared at Zinnia in shock while butler Eamon was already looking down with laughter.Ethan, uncomfortable with Zinnia's attitude, pushed her forcefully but without violence. "If you're crazy, go to a mental hospital, not bother me!"Instead of feeling angry at his words, Zinnia looked at him with brightly rounded eyes. Both her hands cupped Ethan's face for her to look at carefully. "Ethan? This is real, right? You're still alive?""Do you
A few days later, Zenith Corp released an announcement that the news that was being circulated due to Daran's live streaming was a lie. This kind of defamation will be given a warning according to the law, as well as the people who have spread bad comments to Ethan.In addition, Ethan also revealed about his relationship with Daran, which was severed a long time ago and is now never in contact again. Everything that happened and what he said had absolutely nothing to do with him.If something similar still happens, Zenith Corp will take strict action against anyone, without exception.Meanwhile, Ethan is at the police station to meet the head of the Leader who kidnapped Mr Leif and his wife a few days ago. In the company of Hazel, of course."Liar!" Once in the special guest room, the Leader immediately ran to the glass divider and stared at Ethan with angry, bulging eyes. "You're a liar! Damn bastard, I'll kill you right now!""Go ahead if you want to stay here forever," Ethan said,
"Hazel, you're going back to the office with them," Ethan said after reaching the car he was in."Where are you going?" asked Hazel."I still have to take care of something that's been pending for some time. This car, I'll take it." Then Ethan told the driver to get down to him. "Give me the keys.""Wait, sir. Do you want to take it yourself?" Hazel swiftly held back the driver's hand that was about to hand over the keys he was holding. "You've just recovered from a stab wound, you can't drive the vehicle yourself.""But this is my business. I can't let anyone else come with me," Ethan, who still looked calm, said."Why?"Instantly, Ethan's gaze became flat. It wasn't that he was annoyed with Hazel for continuing to ask, but he didn't like that what he was doing was a personal matter that he felt should be covered.About Delilah and Daran, he didn't want anyone else to know how they treated him because it was very embarrassing."Never mind. You just obey. I can take care of myself." W
