Ethan was double-crossed by the beautiful female firefighter who spread her arms wide while looking him in the face. Her lovely silver hair cascaded from her yellow helmet, and her yellow eyes looked Ethan in the face while she wondered what he was up to. “You cannot go in there, Sir!” She repeated, and when Ethan attempted to push forward, she was forced to push him backward with both hands while looking him in the eyes. “It’s too dangerous, Sir! You could die!” She pointed out that, and when she still saw that Ethan was never going to give up, she turned to some of her colleagues for help, her face strained with both weakness and uncertainty. Sure enough, two male firefighters approached as soon as they saw her hand gesture, staring at Ethan from a distance. “Mr. Ethan!” Said one of them as soon as he recognized Ethan, his weak tone still able to reflect a little respect. “I know that this is a lot to take in, but you cannot go in there, Sir! It’s too risky!” The man explained

Ethan gasped, almost pushing himself off the seat. “What did you just say?” He asked with a shaky tone, hoping that he didn’t hear right the first time. Everyone had turned to him, abandoning their food while they wondered what the call was all about.Emma who was closer to Ethan tried to go closer to him, but the moment she stood up, Ethan stood up as well walking to a corner without knowing that his wife was trying to get his attention.Ethan took a deep breath while the phone was still tightly gripped by his right hand and resting on his right ear. “I need you to repeat what you just said, Eva.” He muttered, clearing his throat while he stood in a corner, unconcerned about the eyes staring at him. “The building is on fire, Mr. Ethan! You have to hurry to this place!” Eva repeated, her voice getting more intense than it was.“I am on my way!” Ethan ended the call in a hurry, but just when he was about to turn and leave, Emma blocked him, standing behind him the whole time.“W

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR “Please, Ethan. Just let him go.” Michael insisted, his eyes wide with nervousness. “Quinton can be very dangerous. Just let him go. Don’t kill him.” Ethan grunted, his eyes glaring at his father. “Are you afraid of one man?” He asked, and then he slowly let go of his previous expression, replacing it with a smirk while he waited for a response. Michael took a deep breath, and then he turned to the man who was at his son’s mercy. After a quick stare at him, he returned his gaze to Ethan, still pleading with his eyes. “I just think we have had enough trouble to last us for a very long time, Ethan. For your sister's sake, just let him go. I beg you…” He had tears in his eyes, almost seeming like he was a weakling. But that was not the feeling that Ethan had about him. He could only see a father who was concerned about the safety of his daughter, and that was enough to make him heed to his demand. Ethan took a deep breath, turning to the l

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE Michael gasped when he saw that Ethan was already on his way to deal with the three men.“Come back, Ethan!” He called out, but that didn’t seem like it was enough to make Ethan turn around. When he turned to Larry, he saw that he didn’t have the same flustered look as he did, but that didn’t seem like what was more important at that moment. “My son…” Michael muttered, returning his gaze to Ethan who was already standing too close to the men, glaring at them. Their leader stepped forward, but he was still standing behind, his eyes glaring with hatred. “You really have a death wish.” He snorted at Ethan, but even with his eyes glaring with disdain and a promise of retaliation, Ethan refused to flinch, staring with a smirk all over his face. Ethan held onto his wry smile, turning from one man to the other. “You guys have just one last chance to leave this place. Go back to your boss and tell him that I said he will get his money soon,” He stared at

Michael swallowed hard, and at that moment, it seemed like he was not going to be able to protect his daughter, and that made him very worried. The three men were beginning to get closer, and it didn’t seem like they were wary of Ethan even though his aura was all over the place, thickening in the air. “Where do you think you are going?” Ethan grunted, pushing the leader backward just when he was about to walk past him. This infuriated his cohorts, but seeing that Ethan was not intimidated by their number, they remained still, glaring and fuming in a rage. “Don’t you dare go anywhere close to my sister!” Ethan warned, pointing from one man to the other.He ended his stare with the leader of the gang, and even though he could see that he was pissed that he had embarrassed him in front of his subordinates, he didn’t budge. “I don’t know who your boss is, but tell him that he will have his money soon.” Ethan’s voice was as polite as it could be at that moment, but it seemed as thou
