Ethan paused mid-step, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips before he turned around to face the leader."Oh? You're agreeing already?" he asked, raising a brow as if mildly surprised, though he had expected nothing less.Thirty minutes had barely passed, yet here they were, practically falling over themselves to take the offer."Yes, sir," the leader nodded, wincing slightly as he straightened his back, the bruises from earlier still fresh."Better this than living the thug life forever," he admitted, glancing briefly at the men behind him who all nodded in agreement.None of them had ever made that much money in one night, let alone one trip. Splitting stolen scraps and extortion money among a dozen men barely left anything worth calling a living.Two hundred bucks a trip was more than double what most of them scraped together in an entire week."Smart choice," Ethan said, walking back toward the group, his earlier warmth returning now that the tension had settled."Then i

"So what do you say?" Ethan asked once again, his gaze on the thugs who were now rolling around in pain."Don't worry, we don't need your money any more," The leader groaned managing to stand up.Since this person was so skilled, he figured out he was not just an ordinary person.After all, who would just sit and start learning combat except they had a particular use for it.He might be a thug, but that didn't mean he was foolish and was going to throw his life and the lives of the others away."How about this," Ethan spoke sounding rather unhurried his gaze still on the thugs."My company is short of hands and we have tons of things we need to do," He continued, his voice as smooth as water.The moment the employee behind heard this they froze. What the heck was the boss trying to do?But then if he were to recruit these thugs and they didn't do anything sketchy, more than ninety percent of the deliveries would arrive in their destination before dawn."Our company needs delivery men,

"Boys, break his limbs; thirty thousand for every limb," the leader announced, waving his hands; a vicious smile slowly spread across his face.There was no way he was just going to take this humiliation lying down.Hearing the money involved, the thugs rushed forward; this time, they seemed to have forgotten about the money and were headed straight for Ethan."Do you think the Boss can survive this?" Gladdy swallowed, stepping back a little from the gate, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.What the heck was she witnessing?She had to admit that the boss was pretty cunning and bold, but would he be able to deal with all of these heartless thugs?"Let's just hope they don't get their way," Gabriel also swallowed, not even knowing what to say.He also felt as if something was stuck in his throat, as he didn't even know how to feel.Help the boss? He was nothing but an old man. Besides, he didn't even have any fighting knowledge or skills.That was basically jumping into dange

"Huh?" The thugs froze, not believing their ears. Was this person standing before them even normal?Did he really want them to take the money, or was he just trying to mess with them?They didn't know what was happening, but that didn't mean they were not going to seize the opportunity standing right before them.After all, this person seemed to be willing to give it to them."Hey, you," the leader of the thugs pointed at one of his lackeys."Grab the money and let's get the hell out of here," he commanded, his eyes narrowing into a thin line.For some reason, he could tell that something was wrong, but as to what exactly was wrong, he had no idea.The thug nodded and immediately moved, wanting to take the bag of cash.But the moment he stretched his hands to grab the cash, Ethan suddenly grabbed his hands.The thug froze and then tried to pull his hands, but to his shock, it was as if an iron clamp was stamped on his wrist, and he couldn't move it even a bit."Let go!" The thug strug

Ethan, on the other hand, stepped outside the gate. The thugs, at the moment, were all outside, seemingly waiting for someone to come out of the company.The moment they saw Ethan walk out, they surrounded him, staring at him, brandishing their weapons."Hey there, give us a hundred thousand for disturbing us this night," the leader, a tall man with a deep scar around his neck, stepped forward, his voice hoarse."And why should I give you?" Ethan raised his brows, staring at the man, wondering why he had so much confidence."You don't want to pay?" The man instantly raised his brows, staring at Ethan, seemingly ready to chop off the latter's arms with the cutlass he held."Not that I don't want to pay, you just have to tell me how I disturbed you this night," he shrugged, sounding rather calm.He wasn't scared of these thugs. After all, they were people who only preyed on the weak and feared the strong.That was their psychology. As long as he could teach one of them a good lesson, he

"But...""You don't have to worry about that, just go ahead to sign it," Ethan forced a smile, feeling rather pressured.He really wanted to end the call. There were still quite a lot of things to do, but then he had to deal with this lady first."Alright then," Vanessa responded."I'll call the truck drivers and tell them to come over," she added."That's great, I'll send the address right now," Ethan was a bit relieved and ended the call.After the call ended, Ethan sighed and quickly sent the address to Vanessa."Go get some other things done first; I'll think about the issues of the truck later," Ethan waved his hand, dismissing William and Derek.Nodding, the two turned around and left. Though they didn't know Ethan's plan, they could tell he was trustworthy."Gabriel, inform me immediately if those thugs come over," Ethan instructed, looking at the gateman who nodded firmly.With everything in place, he set to the powerhouse to meet Julius who was still working on the generator.
