Chapter 162: A Long-Awaited Official Notice
Ethan Cole listened carefully as Agent Dana Park finished speaking. He gave a slow, satisfied nod.He had already suspected that Dana’s parents might be at the Southern Base. Mia Sutton’s question had simply given him the opening he needed.If Dana truly wanted to leave, he would not stop her. He could not afford softness. Too many secrets lived inside his Shelter, his Storage Space, the Divine Tree, things no one else could ever learn. Especially not some government outfit.The Southern Base still flew the official flag, but Ethan knew the truth. In this broken world, strength was the only law that mattered. Rules and regulations were empty words. The government’s grip on ordinary people and Ability Users alike had long since slipped. And the Divine Tree… if the Base ever discovered it, they would come for it with everything they had. That was something he would never allow.The radio kept broadcasting. Outside the walls of the Shelter, the reactions could not have been more differen
Chapter 161: Wishing Them Good Luck
The thick carpet covering the living room floor cushioned their falls. None of them were truly injured, just a dull ache blooming across their midsections where Ethan Cole’s strikes had landed.Yet none of the three women moved to rub the sore spots. They simply stared up at him, eyes wide with pure shock.Victoria Liu had sparred with Ethan before and carried a faint expectation of his strength. Mia Sutton and Agent Dana Park, however, looked completely blindsided.They had believed that three Ability Users attacking together could at least force him to take them seriously for a while.They hadn’t lasted a single exchange. It had been a complete, humiliating crush.Ethan looked down at their stunned faces and silently offered quiet gratitude to the Divine Tree resting inside his Storage Space.He no longer thought of it as “the small tree.” It deserved the full title.The Divine Tree was miraculous.Anyone who ate one of its black-veined spirit fruits could awaken a Superpower cleanl
Chapter 160: Educating the Three Women
Afternoon light spilled across the Shelter’s living room floor in warm gold pools. Ethan Cole had cleared the space completely. Mia Sutton, Agent Dana Park, and Victoria Liu stood in a loose line in front of him, still buzzing from the powers that had only just settled into their bones.“First lesson,” Ethan said, voice even. “Control. You’ve all got more strength than you know what to do with. That makes you dangerous to yourselves most of all. Start with thirty percent. Just push the sandbag. Gently.”Mia went first. She sucked in a breath, planted her feet, and gave the heavy bag what she thought was a light shove.The bag exploded backward half a meter and slammed into the wall with a deep, solid thud.She stuck her tongue out, cheeks pink. “Sorry. Still figuring it out.”Dana and Victoria took their turns. Same result. Dana tried a soft fist and punched a clean hole straight through the training glove. Victoria only meant to rise onto her toes and launched herself nearly a meter
Chapter 159: The Future is Promising
The force behind her punch was at least twice what she used to manage even when she put everything into it.“Wow! I’ve really become stronger!”Mia Sutton bounced on her toes, eyes sparkling with pure delight. She drove a few more punches into the sandbag. Each impact landed with such raw power that the bag swung hard enough to nearly tear free of its chain.“Ethan, look! I can send this thing flying now. Before, even when I gave it everything I had, it barely swayed!”Agent Dana Park felt the change in a heartbeat later. There was no feverish heat like Mia’s. Instead, power flooded every muscle, and her senses sharpened to a razor edge. She could hear the faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen, pick out a single strand of fluff caught in Mia’s hair, and catch the clean scent of snow riding the cold wind outside the window.“I… my senses are crazy sharp. I can hear things I never noticed before.”She flexed her hand and felt the dense strength coiled in her muscles easily double
Chapter 158: Treated Equally
Agent Park and Mia instantly perked up their ears, their eyes filled with anticipation.They had been curious about it all morning.Victoria Liu had kept her lips sealed, and since Ethan hadn't volunteered the information, they hadn't dared to ask further. Now, the answer was finally about to be revealed.Victoria Liu, on the other hand, looked smug; she gently rubbed against Ethan's knee, waiting to see their shocked expressions."Eleven!"Ethan called out toward the second floor, his voice tinged with a hint of a smile.Soon, a white afterimage came racing down from the second floor.With a "whoosh," it darted into Ethan's arms; it was none other than the Siamese cat, Eleven.Its speed was at least twice as fast as before, and its movements were as agile as a bolt of lightning. Agent Park and Mia were both stunned, their eyes wide open."Ethan, what's going on with Eleven? How did its speed get so fast?"Mia couldn't help but ask.She reached out to pet Eleven, but it nimbly dodged,
Chapter 157: A Relaxing Post-Meal Time
Today's lunch was prepared entirely according to Ethan's requirements, and the dining table was filled with exquisite dishes.The golden, crispy roasted lamb chops were still sizzling with oil, the snow-white meat of the steamed king crab shone with a lustrous sheen, the cheese-baked lobster was wrapped in rich milky aromas with stretching cheese, and even the side dish of abalone sauce mushrooms with seasonal vegetables was arranged like a work of art.Ethan's mood was completely different from last night; he wore a relaxed smile on his face and did not skimp on praising the dishes made by each woman.Agent Park and Victoria Liu actually only knew how to make a few simple home-cooked dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and the taste could only be considered average, yet Ethan still smiled and said, "Dana, this scrambled eggs with tomatoes has just the right amount of sweet and sour, it's even better than what they make in restaurants outsi
