CHAPTER 76 PART 3
The spike drove straight for Ethan's throat with the speed and precision of a striking viper.Ethan tapped the toes of his right foot against the surface of the water pooling at his feet. His body blurred backward.Not a jump, not a step, but a smooth, frictionless slide across the flooded ground that carried him ten yards in less than a heartbeat. The poisoned spike cut through empty air where his neck had been a fraction of a second earlier.Master Frank landed in the space Ethan had vacated, his spike arm still extended, his eyes wide with surprise.Ethan stood ten yards away, perfectly balanced, completely dry."If you had come earlier," Ethan said, "there might have been reason for concern."His voice was calm but carried an edge that had not been there before. Something harder. Something older."But I took the White Dragon Root tonight," Ethan continued. "The Seven Core Lotus Toxin in my body has been suppressed further than it has been in seven years. A large portion of my true
CHAPTER 76 PART 2
Master Frank stepped out from under his umbrella. He let it fall to the side, where the current in the alley caught it and swept it away into the dark. The rain poured down on him, and then it didn't. Just like Ethan, the water repelled itself above Master Frank's head, curving away in every direction and leaving a dry space around his body that extended three feet in every direction.Two men stood in the flooded alley. Two dry circles in the middle of a storm. The rain hammered everything between them and around them, but where they stood, the ground was bone dry.Gary stumbled backward into the clinic. His legs felt like they had been filled with wet sand.Master Frank looked past Ethan and into the clinic. His reptilian eyes locked onto the sleeping mat where AJ was now sitting upright, wide awake, his face white with terror."That young man," Master Frank said. His dry, sandy voice cut through the roar of the rain without effort. "Abdullah Bulger. Youngest son of the Emperor of Sh

Gary snorted and waved the phone in the air."Lightning does not care about phones," Gary said. "That is an old wives tale. I have gambled through worse storms than this in basements that smelled like dead fish. Nothing happened."Ethan did not argue. His attention had shifted. Something in the air had changed.The rain still pounded and the thunder still rolled, but beneath it all, a new pressure was building.It was not a sound or a temperature. It was a weight. A suffocating, invisible heaviness that pressed down on the alley like a giant hand slowly closing around the throat of the night.Ethan stood from the chair and stepped through the doorway into the rain.The downpour hit the space around him and bent. Every drop within a six foot radius curved away from his body as though striking an invisible dome.The rain hammered the concrete on all sides, but Ethan stood at the center of a perfect dry circle, his clothes untouched, his hair still, his face calm.Behind him, Slick Gary'
CHAPTER 75 PART 3
"Six months ago, Victor Harlow Sr. fell mysteriously ill," Ian said. "The doctors could not identify the cause. His family spent millions on specialists and treatments, none of which worked."He folded his hands in front of him."That illness was caused by a Venom Bug implanted by the Shadow Venom Order," Ian said. His voice did not change in tone or volume. "It was the lowest grade insect in our inventory. The mildest tool we possess."He let the implication settle over the room like a cold blanket."The lowest grade," Ian repeated softly.Thompson Sr. broke first. He pressed both palms flat on the table and nodded once, quickly, the way a man nods when he has already decided to hate himself in the morning."It is just business," Thompson Sr. said. His voice was hollow. "Money has no nationality. If things go wrong, I can always emigrate."The first pharmaceutical head followed immediately. Then the second. Then the third. One by one, all nine companies gave their agreement, each man

Then he stood up from his chair. The movement was unhurried, almost gentle. He extended one hand toward the tea table sitting between his chair and Ian Watanabe's. His palm hovered six inches above the wood.The burst came without sound. A wave of peak internal energy exploded downward from his open palm and the solid oak tea table shattered into splinters. Fragments of wood sprayed across the floor like shrapnel.The porcelain tea cups disintegrated into powder. Thompson Sr. stumbled backward and nearly fell over his chair. Ian Watanabe lurched sideways, his tea splashing across his tailored suit, his face white as paper.The rest of the room sat frozen. Nobody breathed for three full seconds.Master Frank lowered his hand and sat back down as though nothing had happened.Henry was the first to recover. He rushed forward and clasped his hands together, his face glowing with the desperate enthusiasm of a drowning man who had just been thrown a rope."Master Frank, your power is extrao
CHAPTER 75 PART 1
Henry placed one hand on Master Frank's shoulder and turned to address the room with the reverence of a man introducing a living weapon."Gentlemen, let me be clear about what we have in this room tonight," Henry said. "Master Frank is not an ordinary fighter. He is a grandmaster of martial arts. An expert in advanced Qi techniques. The kind of practitioner who appears once in a generation."Henry's voice carried a weight that surprised even himself. He had spent the last week hiding in this basement like a rat in a drainpipe, watching his empire collapse around him.After Ethan destroyed the Black Tiger Crew headquarters, his followers had scattered like cockroaches under a flashlight.His territory, the streets and alleys and back rooms he had controlled for over a decade, was being carved up and swallowed by rival gangs who smelled blood.The underground emperor of Chicago had been reduced to a man with a handful of loyal guards and a borrowed basement.Henry had always known what
