Chapter 244 – Ethan’s Disbelief
******An abrupt wave of murderous, suffocating aura erupted from all directions, pressing down on Ethan with an unseen force.It was as if the ground itself was trying to devour him whole.And before he knew it, his knees nearly buckled, feeling the raw intent to kill in his very bones.Rapidly and in the blink of an eye, cold sweat drenched his back, his breath turning forceful, shallow, laborious, and panicked.“I… I... I… I…” he stuttered frantically, struggling to form any words, but his tongue felt completely heavy, his voice looping like a broken record.His mind screamed for him to say something… anything, yet his lips only trembled uselessly.But just at that moment…“Little cunt! You really knew the person who dared to humiliate our own young master?!” one voice roared, brimming with disbelief and fury.“You are so dead today!” another voice barked, sounding even more ferocious and aggressive.“You are just finished and done for!”“You are so going to wish you wer
Chapter 243 – A Terrifying James
******Right now, James stood unnervingly still, his chest rising and falling as though he had just drawn the entire atmosphere into himself.The air around him felt incredibly tense, thick, and heavy, like it might shatter anyone who dared to move closer to him.And when his eyes met Ethan’s, they gleamed with such curiosity, hunger, possession, and an unsettling delight that didn’t belong to a human’s face, making Ethan’s stomach twist frantically. It was the gaze of someone who had just stumbled upon a mystery… one he intended to dismantle piece by piece, no matter the screams or tortures it took to get there.And seeing this, Ethan couldn’t help but swallow hard, his throat painfully dry.At that very moment, his instincts screamed louder at him that there was something significantly wrong and dangerous in the way James was looking at him.But before Ethan could pinpoint it and decide whether to speak, breathe, or bolt for his dear life, James let out a shaky, broken laugh
Chapter 242 – Ethan’s Instinctive Fear
******First, Ethan’s gaze fell on Muscles, who remained pale and stiff, his expression caught somewhere between guilt and defiance as he knelt on the floor, almost as if bowing to his own disgrace and terror.Then his gaze shifted to the gangsters surrounding them, their eyes glinting with barely contained violence, each of them gripping their weapon as though they couldn’t wait to unleash chaos and destruction.And finally… he turned to James.James wasn’t speaking, but at this time, his eyes… those eerie, unsettling, glimmering eyes were fixed entirely on himself.That's right, and what Ethan saw in them made his stomach twist. The look wasn’t human; it was cold, fascinated, and hungry. As soon as Ethan saw this, a sudden chill crawled up his spine, spreading until his legs weakened beneath him.Then his knees almost gave out beneath him. Fortunately, he caught himself on time... only barely. James's gaze… it wasn’t the gaze of a man looking at a boy.It was the look of a
Chapter 241 – Ethan’s Feelings of Betrayal
******“This…”It was as though a bolt of lightning had ripped through Ethan’s chest, shaking him down to the bones.The shock struck him so hard that it numbed his mind for a fleeting moment, causing his entire body to tremble.His lips parted, but no sound came out, and for a moment, the world seemed to go blank… his thoughts, his surroundings, and even the noise from the thugs, everything dissolved into static disbelief.He just stood there, frozen.His eyes locked on Muscles, as though looking too long might somehow change the words that had come out of the man’s mouth.But it didn’t. The denial still lingered sharply and cruelly in the air, echoing louder and longer in his ears the longer he stood there.A sharp, aching sense of betrayal seemed to pierce deep inside him... raw and unfamiliar. It wasn’t just pain; it was an empty, consuming void. Growing up, he had never had anyone apart from Glenn. No friends, no nothing, and not even those casual, fleeting bonds childr
Chapter 240 – Ethan’s and Muscles’ History II
******The truth was, “Muscles” wasn’t his name.It was nothing but a joke born from the smirks of teenagers mocking the way his arms usually bulged beneath his two sizes too small shirtsHe had hated it at first, hated them, and hated himself.Countless times, he had wanted to snap at them and remind them why people once feared him before life had beaten him into this version of himself.But then Ethan came along.He had said the name differently… not mocking or laughing.He had called it warmly and friendly.Even now, Muscles could still remember the first time Ethan had called him “Uncle Muscles.” He had been furious and ready to lash out. After all, it had been a horrible day for him that day... everything in his life collapsing piece by piece.But then he had seen Ethan’s innocent concern… those earnest eyes as he asked if he was okay, even offering him a piece of advice no grown man would have expected to hear from a kid. And somehow, the anger had melted.That day
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
