Chapter 230 – He’s Finished
******At this moment, no one dared to move… or even breathe too loudly.The air itself seemed to be suffocating, heavy, and brimming with tension, as if a single sound might shatter it and unleash something catastrophic.Every single thug in the group stood frozen right now, their wide eyes locked on their brother, who knelt groveling before James, his body trembling, and forehead pressed against the tarred road.They had all suspected that he had lost the target, and they had already prepared themselves for the confession.But hearing it aloud… hearing him actually admit that he had no idea where the target was again… it was something else entirely.And now…One by one, as if they were some iron drawn by a magnet, every gaze shifted fearfully and anxiously toward James.They didn’t need to say anything… their thoughts already passing between them wordlessly.‘He’s finished.’And with this, a look of pity flickered in their eyes… not for the missing Glenn, but for the unfor
Chapter 231 – A Ruthless James
******On the way here, James had already imagined all the scenes… Glenn chained, broken, begging for mercy that would never come.He had pictured the countless ways he would torture Glenn and make him suffer… each one crueler than the last.He had planned to show him that his greatest sin wasn’t merely daring to lay a hand on the woman he desired… but daring to touch him, wound him, and humiliate him.He had planned to turn Glenn into the most wretched and most pitiful creature alive… and then make everyone Glenn had ever cared about share in his ruin.He had that thought once that was done, maybe he could breathe again, and maybe the nightmares would finally end.But now…Recalling all this, James’ teeth began to clatter against each other as though he was experiencing a bone-deep coldness, his body shaking harder… the tremors deepening until he looked like an overworked engine on the verge of exploding.And then rapidly, any trace of color left on his face drained away unti
Chapter 232 – The Thug’s Ruthless Decision
******“Young… young master…” the gang leader finally stammered, his voice unsteady, and his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard. “Plea… please, he didn’t mean…”“What?!” James’s roar cracked through the silence like a whip.He turned sharply, his eyes flashing with pure murderous intent that made the gang leader stumble backward instinctively, as though he had just seen a ghost. “Are you trying to get yourself disposed of too?!”The man froze, unable to react for a moment, then his lips trembled, but no sound came out.He only managed a weak, pitiful nod before turning his gaze back to the kneeling thug… a silent, hopeless apology in his eyes, one that said, ‘I tried, brother… but you’re already done for.’And with that, duty took over.The faint regret in his eyes vanished, replaced by cold obedience.His expression hardened as he lifted the machete in his grasp, its blade catching the sunlight. Then he stepped forward slowly, every movement measured and heavy.Seeing this,
Chapter 233 - Ethan
******Inside a quiet, modest villa that was neatly arranged and appeared to be rarely used, a young teen of about fourteen to fifteen years old stood by the kitchen island, grinning like an idiot and clearly not ashamed of it. The boy’s tablet rested in his hands, but whatever was displayed on it might as well have been invisible.His gaze wasn’t on the screen… it was somewhere else… somewhere far away and lost in his excitement, brimming with the kind of giddy, helpless energy that only came when something extraordinary happened.He looked like someone whose long-time crush had just said yes to a date.This boy was none other than Ethan… the same one Glenn had met not long ago, whose unexpected appearance had prevented him from getting to Grace.“Hehehe… Big brother’s really back!” Ethan squeaked, his grin stretching wider, his voice breaking from the force of his excitement.He hugged the tablet in his hand tightly to his chest, his small shoulders shaking with silent laugh
Chapter 234 – Ethan II
******Back then, Ethan had always sat alone on the couch, staring with a blank mind and heavy chest at the same spot for hours.While at school, his silence had even made him a target of bullies.Other kids had always mocked him and called him a weirdo, stupid, and broken.Before he had met Glenn, he had lived a monotonous life… like a robot.But everything had changed immediately after Glenn showed up.Ethan could still remember the day as clearly as if it had only happened the previous day.It was about nine years ago now… during one warm afternoon in the park.He had been sitting alone on a bench with his knees drawn up to his chest, watching other kids run around with their parents while laughing, shouting, being chased, caught, and hugged… doing all the things he had never had.He had been staring blankly and utterly lost in another silent daydream when suddenly, a shadow had fallen across his face.That time, he had blinked innocently before looking up… and then there
Chapter 235 – Ethan III
******Ethan could still feel the exact moment and instant he had seen Glenn again.He hadn’t even seen his face before he recognized him.Instead, the first thing he had seen was his back… that unmistakable relaxed posture, the way Glenn’s shoulders resembled the kind of effortless indifference of someone who had seen too much and simply stopped caring.Even in his dreams, he would have recognized that back.The sight had hit him like a sudden jolt of electricity… so sharp and so intense that he had thought he was hallucinating again.He had blinked hard, half expecting the image to vanish like all the others had in his lonely mind. But it hadn’t.It had really been him… Glenn, the elder brother who had treated him better than even his own parents ever had.That moment had rewired something in him.The emptiness that had lived in his chest for five long years had shattered in an instant, and warmth had seeped through him again.It hadn’t just been happiness… it had been rel
Chapter 236 – Ethan’s Excitement
******“Something simple but rich in flavor?” Ethan murmured to himself, his brows furrowing so tightly that they almost touched.He stood motionless for a few seconds, lost in thought, with his mind spinning through every dish he could remember.Then, suddenly, his eyes brightened as though a lightbulb had gone off inside his head.“Yes! I know it!” he blurted out, the corners of his lips curving into a triumphant grin. “Didn’t Big Brother always love tender roast chicken with crispy skin, creamy mashed potatoes, and a side dish of buttery corn on the cob?”The memory struck him vividly… Glenn once casually telling him about how he always treated himself to that exact meal whenever he had some extra money or on his birthdays, saying it never failed to remind him of home. Ethan’s heart couldn't help but tighten at the memory.He might have been young and naïve back then, but that distant look in Glenn’s eyes when he mentioned home… it had stuck him to the very core. Even now t
Chapter 237 – James and His Gang’s Arrival
******Ding! Ding!!The sharp sound of the door alarm suddenly cut through the quiet house, causing Ethan to freeze mid-step, his heart skipping a bit in his chest.“Huh?” His head jerked toward the door. “Who could that be?”He frowned, confusion clouding his expression.Checking the clock on the wall, his frown deepened. “Mom and Dad shouldn’t be home until ten… so who…?”It felt strange. No… unnatural.No one ever visited him, and the house was always his alone after school until his parents finally dragged themselves home long after dark.He had no friends and no neighbors who ever stopped by.“Could it be… a delivery?” he muttered to himself, glancing at the door again. But there he hadn’t ordered anything, and his parents hadn’t called to tell him any order was coming.Years of ingrained caution echoed in his head.Ever since he was a child, he had been warned never to open the door unless he knew exactly who was on the other side. And he had lived by that rule so lon
Chapter 238 – Ethan’s Fear
******‘Who are these people?’ Ethan’s mind screamed, his eyes darting frantically across the aggressive, ferocious-looking men at his door.Subconsciously, he counted… one, two, three, each of them standing too still, and too controlled, like wolves waiting for the alpha’s command to pounce on their prey and tear it apart.Ethan had assumed it was Glenn at the door… his elder brother, and the one person he was eager to see. But this?This was something straight out of a nightmare.These people weren’t neighbors, friends, or even petty thugs and mere troublemakers.They looked like the kind of people you only saw in movies… those gritty, chaotic, and dangerous gangsters who always leave havoc in their wakes and commit every sort of crime imaginable.Even without realizing it, the excitement and wild rush of joy that had surged through him seconds ago had already crumbled into cold dread. And now, the air was thick and oppressive for him, as though fear itself had materialized a
Chapter 239 – Ethan’s and Muscles’ History
******Every thug turned sharply toward the man Ethan had just called, their faces twisting in surprise, and brows knitting, their earlier ruthlessness faltering into a dumbstruck expression.“Uncle Muscles, really?” one of them muttered, his brows knitting against each other as he glanced around in perplexity.“Did he just call him uncle?” “He sounded like they’re close.” “But who put uncle before a nickname?” “It sounded absurd, yet he spoke it with such innocent sincerity.”Murmurs spread through the group in an instant, shattering the heavy silence that had hung over the scene just moments before. But before they could completely relax and laugh, forgetting the presence of the two people among them…“What’s going on here?”James’s voice rang out, sounding deep, dangerous, and heavily laced with barely restrained ferocity. Then he turned his glare to the man Ethan had just called Uncle muscles, his glare sharp enough to cut through steel.“You trying to play tricks o
