Ethan walked away, his footsteps steady and deliberate, the night air cool against his skin.

Behind him, Victoria's voice faded into the distance, along with the chaos of the mansion, the anger of the family, and the weight of everything he had just left behind.

But as he walked, one thought dominated his mind.

One truth rang louder than anything else.

He needed to get stronger.

Much stronger.

The memories were still fresh in his mind—vivid, sharp, undeniable. The visions he had seen when the p

    Immediately, the son nodded his head again, even more emphatically this time, maintaining his facade of innocence and confusion with admirable dedication even as sweat began to bead on his forehead and his hands trembled slightly at his sides. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying," he replied firmly, trying to inject some steel into his voice, trying to sound offended that anyone would dare question his word. "Of course I've never seen you before. So what the hell are you talking about? What are you trying to accuse me of?"At that moment in time, Ethan turned his attention away from the son and faced the older man directly, the restaurant owner who was still standing near the entrance with his arms crossed over his chest and his expression growing increasingly suspicious as he watched this exchange unfold. "So this is your son?" Ethan asked, his tone conversational but with an underlying current of something darker, something that suggested this question was more important than it

    At that moment in time, the older man who had just spoken, the restaurant owner who had burst through the door with such righteous anger and indignation, suddenly froze in place as he heard that voice, that particular tone and cadence that was responding to his son's challenge, because that voice sounded eerily familiar to him, like something he had heard before in passing or perhaps in conversation, a voice that belonged to someone who should not be here, someone who was supposed to be gone, eliminated, dead by now according to what he had been told in whispers and rumors. So immediately, with his curiosity piqued and his confusion growing, Ethan turned around slowly and deliberately, pivoting on his heel to face the entrance where the two men stood, and the moment he completed that turn, the moment his face became fully visible to them, the exact instant their eyes met across the destroyed restaurant, the young man standing beside his father felt his entire world tilt sideways and

    That was the only reason Marcus was lowering himself like this, groveling and pleading, because he needed to buy time, needed to survive long enough for reinforcements to arrive and turn this situation around. But hearing Ethan brag like this, hearing him speak with such absolute confidence and superiority, hearing him act as if he were some kind of untouchable god who could do whatever he wanted without consequences, Marcus simply could not believe his ears, could not comprehend the audacity of this nobody, this stranger who had appeared out of nowhere and now had the nerve to look down on the Chen family as if they were nothing. Who does Ethan actually think he is, Marcus wondered silently, his mind racing with confused and angry thoughts, but he was smart enough, or perhaps just frightened enough, not to say any of that out loud, not to voice those thoughts and risk provoking Ethan even further.So at that moment in time, Marcus opened his mouth, preparing to say something else,

    At that moment in time, seeing Ethan begin to walk in his direction with that same calm, unbothered expression on his face, seeing the way Ethan moved with such quiet confidence and purpose as if nothing in the world could possibly stop him, Marcus felt a wave of pure, primal terror wash over him like ice water flooding through his veins, and he immediately began to beg, his voice cracking with desperation and fear as the words tumbled out of his mouth in a frantic rush. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for what I said, please, you just have to forgive me, I'm very, very sorry, please have mercy on me," Marcus pleaded, his hands raised defensively in front of his face as if those trembling fingers could somehow protect him from what was coming, his eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears as he stared up at Ethan's approaching figure.But Ethan didn't say anything in response, didn't acknowledge the begging or the pleading or the desperate apologies, he just kept walking closer with that same

    The twins from hell, lying motionless on the floor just a few feet apart from each other, their bodies broken and bleeding, tried desperately to stand up, tried to force their trembling legs to support their weight one more time, tried to summon even a fraction of the strength they had possessed just moments ago. But they couldn't do it, they simply couldn't, their bodies refused to obey their commands, and they realized with growing horror that Ethan had used techniques they had never seen before, techniques that had not only overwhelmed their physical defenses but had also somehow disrupted their spiritual energy and kicked them out of their zone almost instantly, nullifying their trump card and leaving them completely helpless. They had never encountered anything like this in all their years of fighting, had never faced an opponent who could so effortlessly dismantle their strongest techniques, and the realization of just how outmatched they truly were filled them with a cold, cre

    At that moment in time, despite the devastating slaps that had sent them spinning through the air like ragdolls, despite the blood pooling in their mouths and the pain radiating through their bodies, despite the humiliation burning in their chests, the twin brothers from hell forced themselves to move, their bodies trembling violently as they planted their hands on the cold floor and pushed themselves upward with sheer willpower alone.Their legs shook beneath them, their vision swam with dizziness, and their breathing came in ragged, uneven gasps, but they stood up anyway, their pride refusing to allow them to remain on the ground any longer. They could not embarrass themselves like this, not in this manner, not after everything they had been through, not after all the blood they had spilled and all the battles they had fought and all the terror they had instilled in the hearts of countless men who had dared to cross them. This was utter embarrassment, a humiliation so profound and
