Chapter two.

Everyone's eyes widened, some of them mouth agape. They couldn't believe what Ethan had just done. Immediately they thought he wanted to kill the old master, Edward.

“Are you here to kill him?!”

“Why did you hit him so hard?” Another one barked.

“My father is on the verge of dying, and you dare hit him that hard?!”

“He…he….he's going to die,” Victoria sobbed, collapsing to the floor. She felt like she's the cause of his death.

She began to hit herself blaming herself that if only she didn't trust the so-called miracle doctor, if only she had believed them when they said he can't heal their grandfather.

Suddenly, the old master, Edward, began to cough abruptly. Victoria stood up, wiping her tears. She and the family ran to his aid.

Their father has not been able to cough or do anything. Now it was hard for them to know if this is a bad sign or a good one. The cough was dry, and pains filled the old master's eyes.

They began to bombard the old master with lots of questions.

“Father, are you okay?”

“Father, are you fine?

“Father! Father! Father!”

The eldest stood up and walked up to Ethan, his eyes blazing with anger.

“What have you done to my father!” He asked, pushing him, and Ethan's back slammed against the wall.

Ethan did not say anything, he just stared at him, his hands in his pocket, his facial expressions unreadable.

“If anything happens to my father, I swear you will regret messing around with Edward's family,” he threatened him, pointing his fingers at him.

But Ethan did not flinch, he just stared at him. Victoria let her tears flow freely, running the old master's hands.

Old master, Edward began to cough again, the cough was harsh, dry, and hacking. Victoria rubbed his back while others tried to fan him.

They became worried when they began to cough black blood. The blood he coughed filled two buckets.

“Doctors do something!” Victoria yelled.

But the other doctors were as confused as them. They had no idea what was happening to old master Edward.

Old master, Edward, stopped coughing. “Wa…..ter,” he managed to say, his voice horse.

Everyone gasped, they thought they didn't hear old master Edward well, until he repeated it.

They ran and brought him water. Old master took it in one goal and passed the cup to them asking for more. He drank until he was satisfied, and he leaned on the bed wood.

Everyone watched in awe, as the old master's white face began to change to its normal shape, his color was coming back. It was like magic to them.

The three doctors were stunned to their bones and ashamed of themselves. They could not believe their eyes.

And once again, Ethan still shined right in front of them. Ethan had just performed a legendary lost technique. They couldn't believe that a young man like him could be capable of something like this.

Left with no other option, they bowed down, touching Ethan's legs.

“All hail miracle doctor! All hail miracle doctor!” And one of them said, “We are in the presence of a god.”

Everyone were shocked, and they all fell on their knees and thanked Ethan, also apologized to him for the things they had said earlier, saying they were panicking and lost control.

Just then Old master, Edward, regained his voice and thanked Ethan then he asked. “Young man, who are you?”

Ethan didn't want to reveal his identity to them, so he simply said it was the general of the west who sent him to come heal the master.

He would rather not tell them that the general of the west, his disciples, actually pleaded with him to come save old master Edward, because of his good deeds.

He decided to help because the general of the west begged him the whole night. Everyone was shocked that he knew the general of the west. They find it challenging to believe that a young man like Ethan knew such an Influential person.

“Thank you, son,” old master Edward said, his eyes darting to his eldest son. “Double whatever you wanted to offer him.”

“He … .has … .not named his prize,’’ the eldest son responded. “When he first came, we all misjudged him.”

“What? How dare you look down on someone, now go on your knees and apologize,” old master Edward barked.

Despite Ethan telling him to let it slide, he still insisted that his son go on his knees and apologized saying that's the least thing he can do. Ethan left with no choice, agreed.

The eldest son went down on his knees and apologized, not because he healed his father but because Ethan knew the general of the west. A formidable man in the military.

“Son, what's your price?” Old master, Edward, asked.

Ethan chuckled, removing his hands from his pocket, folding his arms.

“What if I tell you I did it for free?”

The old master, Edward, shook his head. “You can't do it for free, son, mention your price.”

“If I were to charge you all, even if you combine all the wealth of the Edward's family you won't be able to pay.”

This made the Edward's family face darkened. They felt insulted, but they couldn't say anything because Ethan just saved their father.

Old master Edward struggled to stand up, the family members wanted to help him, but he stopped them. After much struggle, they were able to stand up.

He walked up to Ethan, despite feeling insulted he let it slide standing In Front of Ethan with so much pride.

“The Edward's aren't one to take favors from people. What do you want?”

“Unfortunately, I maintain my stand, I did it for free.”

“Name your price,” Old master Edward demanded.

But Ethan kept quiet, staring at him. He didn't mean to disrespect the old man, that's why he didn't walk away.

Seeing that Ethan refused to name a price, the old man said, “How about you get married to my daughter, Victoria.”

    Ethan knelt in the truck bed, one knee pressed into Thomas's spine, his gun pressed against the back of the man's head. Blood from his bicep wound dripped onto Thomas's shirt.Thomas laughed. "You're going to kill me here?" Thomas asked. "On the side of the road? Like a dog?"Ethan pressed the barrel harder. "Tempting."Victoria glanced in the rearview mirror. Her face was pale, streaked with dirt and blood that wasn't hers. Her hands gripped the wheel tight."Ethan," she said. "We need him alive."Ethan didn't answer. His jaw was locked. His eyes were black pits.Anna sat in the back seat, curled against the door. Her wrists were raw from the cuffs. Her swollen eye had closed completely. She stared at Thomas through the rear window, her eyes wide with something between hatred and grief.Ethan grabbed Thomas's hair and slammed his face against the truck bed. Cartilage crunched. Blood sprayed."Ethan!" Victoria shouted."Drive," Ethan said. His voice was flat. Dead.The highway stre

    Ethan slowly exited the truck, hands raised, Victoria stayed low in the passenger seat, her own weapon trained on Thomas through the gap in the door.“Thomas, listen to me,” Ethan said, voice steady despite the adrenaline flooding his veins. “Jack made his choices. He crossed lines that couldn’t be uncrossed. I didn’t want him dead, but he left me no option.”“Liar!” Thomas roared. “You testified against him! You set him up! He was following orders, your orders, until they became inconvenient!”Anna winced as Thomas tightened his grip on her hair. “Ethan… don’t. He’s gone.”“Shut your mouth!” Thomas backhanded her across the face with the gun. She crumpled to her knees.That was the spark.Ethan moved.He dropped low and rolled right as Thomas fired. The bullet whizzed past his ear. Victoria opened up from the truck, forcing Thomas to duck behind the SUV. Ethan used the moment to sprint toward a stack of logs twenty feet away, using the timber as cover.Gunfire erupted in a chaotic

    Victoria finally moved. She staggered toward him, her face a mask of crimson splatter, eyes wide with shock. “Ethan… what the hell just happened?”He didn’t answer. Couldn’t. His mind raced through every interaction with Thomas. He tried to crack his brain to see if there's anything he could use against Thomas.One thing he knew for sure was that Thomas would definitely push Anna to the extent that she might reveal secrets.A low groan cut through the silence. One of the downed mercenaries was still alive, crawling toward a dropped rifle. Ethan’s instincts kicked in. He crossed the distance in three strides, boot slamming down on the man’s wrist with a sickening crack.“What’s your cars plate number?” Ethan snarled, pressing the barrel of his own recovered pistol against the man’s temple.The merc spat blood and laughed wetly. “Bold of you to think, that I will help you,”he said, letting out an evil laughter.Ethan’s trigger finger twitched. The shot was muffled against flesh. The

    The shot cracked through the night air. Ethan paused, his heart stopped. He waited for Victoria to fall. For her body to crumple to the gravel. For his world to end.But Victoria didn't fall.Instead, the man holding her jerked backward. His gun clattered to the ground. A dark hole bloomed in the center of his forehead. Blood sprayed across Victoria's face. She blinked, frozen, as his grip loosened and he slid to the ground.Ethan's head snapped toward the direction of the shot.Thomas stood at the edge of the loading dock. A smoking gun in his hand. His face was different. His eyes were different. The fear, the desperation, the confusion all of it was gone. In its place was something cold. Something hungry.He stepped down from the dock, his boots crunching on the gravel. He walked slowly, deliberate, savoring each step."Thomas?" Anna's voice was small, confused. Blood dripped from her split lip. Her swollen eye could barely open.Thomas ignored her. His eyes were locked on Ethan

    Ethan stepped out and saw three black SUVs sat in the gravel lot, their headlights cutting white beams through the darkness. Men in tactical gear fanned out in a semicircle, rifles raised.In the center of the lot, Anna was on her knees. Her hands were cuffed behind her back. A thin line of blood ran from her nose down her chin. Her left eye was swelling shut. One of the men held her by the hair, yanking her head back.Ethan stopped at the edge of the loading dock. His hands were loose at his sides. His face was calm.Thomas pushed up behind him, his breath catching when he saw Anna."Let her go," Ethan said, his voice calm yet dangerous.The man holding Anna burst into laughter. He was large, bald, with a scar cutting across his cheek. He yanked Anna's hair tighter. She gasped but didn't cry out."Give us the President," the man said. "And maybe we let the bitch live."Ethan didn't move. "You're on my property. In my city. You have ten seconds to release her and leave before I los

    The President froze, his cane halfway raised like a pathetic weapon. His eyes darted from Ethan’s calm, predatory smile to Thomas, then back again. “You,” the President hissed, his voice low and venomous. “You treacherous son of a bitch.”Ethan stepped fully into the dim light filtering through a cracked skylight. He looked relaxed, almost amused, hands loose at his sides. No visible weapon, but Thomas knew better. Men like Ethan didn’t need to show their teeth until they were ready to bite.“Careful with the insults, sir,” Ethan said smoothly. “We’re all friends here. Or at least… business associates.”Thomas kept his position near the door, every muscle coiled. His split lip throbbed in time with his pulse. He could feel the weight of the burner phone still in his pocket, a useless lifeline now. Anna’s words echoed in his head: “Stay alive.”The President’s knuckles whitened around the cane. “Where is Victoria?”Ethan chuckled softly, the sound echoing off the concrete. “Safe,
