Chapter 40: I Will Make the Hill Family Go Bankrupt!_1
Ethan Smith’s words were powerful and resonate, that even the white-haired young man couldn’t help but look over.
Stephen Hill sneered in anger, pointing at Ethan Smith, he said, “Good, well! I never thought someone from River City would dare to talk to me like this!”
After speaking, Stephen threw a stick at Ethan’s feet.
“I’ll give you one chance. Break both of your legs, and I’ll let this matter go.” Stephen said coldly.
Ethan glanced at the stick at his feet, then suddenly kicked it away.
The stick whizzed through the air and flew towards Stephen.
Without deviating from its target, the stick brushed past Stephen’s head and embedded itself in the wall behind him.
The wall cracked instantly, with fissures spreading like spider webs outward.
Stephen’s face grew colder and colder, and he sneered, “I’ve already given you a chance. If you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me for not being polite.”
“Starting tomorrow, everyone around you will suffer!” Stephen’s face showed a hint of viciousness.
Ethan didn’t know many people and could be considered a loner.
That’s why he wasn’t afraid of Stephen’s warning at all.
“You can go.” Stephen waved his hand and said.
However, Ethan remained standing there, unmoving.
Stephen frowned and scolded, “When I tell you to leave, can’t you hear me!”
Ethan ignored Stephen completely and instead turned to the white-haired young man, saying, “Are you willing to come with me?”
The white-haired young man was stunned. He stared blankly at Ethan, seemingly unable to believe what he just heard.
“A seven-foot-tall man cannot stay under someone else’s thumb forever. Would you rather be a loyal dog to such a person, or live a life of dignity?” Ethan asked coldly.
The white-haired young man didn’t answer; he lowered his head, and his face showed a hint of struggle.
Stephen, however, found this quite interesting. He kicked the white-haired young man and said, “A dog is a dog; there’s no chance of turning back.”
At that moment, the white-haired young man suddenly stood up from the ground!
He gritted his teeth, saying, “Stephen Hill, I’ve had enough of your Hill family’s behavior!”
“When faced with those of higher status than you, you bow and scrape; when faced with those of lower status, you don’t even treat them as human beings! I quit!”
After speaking, the white-haired young man forcefully tossed his suit on the ground and walked towards Ethan.
Stephen’s face turned cold, and he waved his hand. His bodyguards immediately understood and, grabbing their daggers, aimed to stab the white-haired young man’s back!
Just as the dagger was about to touch the white-haired young man, Ethan flicked his finger, and the bodyguard’s wrist was suddenly struck hard by something! The dagger fell away!
Upon looking back, it turned out to be a coin!
“Let’s go,” Ethan said to the white-haired young man as he walked out of the restaurant with his arm around him.
Stephen’s face turned blue with anger, and he flipped the table over in a fit!
“I shall absolutely never let him off!” A flash of viciousness haunted Stephen’s face.
…
Ethan took the white-haired young man back to his residence.
After a brief conversation, Ethan learned that the white-haired young man’s name was Edward Green and that he was a bodyguard hired by Stephen Hill at a great expense.
“Thank you for saving my life twice. Unfortunately, I have become crippled now, and I am afraid I cannot repay you,” said Edward, sitting beside Ethan, looking somewhat despondent.
Ethan glanced at him and then took a pill from his pocket.
“Eat this,” Ethan said indifferently.
Edward was puzzled and frowned, “What’s this?”
“Eat it first before asking.” Ethan didn’t explain.
Seeing this, Edward didn’t say anything more and immediately swallowed the pill. nove-lB/1n
This pill was the Marrow Generating Pill that Ethan had refined.
It was initially intended to be offered as a gift to Stephen Hill, but after seeing his behavior, Ethan changed his mind.
The moment the Marrow Generating Pill entered Edward’s stomach, Ethan extended his hand and placed it on Edward’s kneecap. Waves of qi flowed from Ethan’s palm and covered Edward’s knee.
Edward only felt a peculiar tingling sensation at his knee.
Half a minute later, Ethan removed his hand.
“Try walking a few steps,” Ethan said flatly.
Edward tried to move his limbs, and to his amazement, he discovered that his broken leg had actually healed!
“How… how is this possible!” Edward’s face was full of shock!
“Even the world’s most renowned doctor can’t perform such a miraculous healing…” Edward gulped.
However, Ethan just smiled, “This world’s most renowned doctor is nothing compared to me.”
This wasn’t boasting, but the truth.
Ethan had obtained the dao technique to cultivate immortality, his cultivation at the highest peak could even shatter the stars, and bringing the dead back to life was not impossible.
“Alright, now I need to ask you some questions.” At this moment, Ethan looked at Edward.
Edward quickly replied, “Mr. Smith, I will never forget your great kindness; if you have any questions, feel free to ask!”
A chill flashed in Ethan’s eyes.
“Tell me everything about the Hill family, including their businesses, assets, and strength,” said Ethan coldly.
“I want to leave the Hill family with nothing.” Ethan’s voice was firm and icy, leaving no room for
doubt.
Ethan had many questions to ask Edward, but what he wanted to do most now was to bankrupt the Hill family!
