Chapter211Talking Barefaced Nonsense
Hearing that, Ethan couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
This middle-aged man, who bore some resemblance to Dorian, turned out to be the second in command of the Ashford family. Indeed, he was not someone to be underestimated!
The most obvious difference between the Ashford family and the other three families was that the leader must practice Judo.
For example, the Wilson Family had the Shadow Gang, the Miller family had the Eight Vassals, and as for the hidden strength of the Harris family, Ethan had yet to see it, but it probably wasn't too shabby either.
Only the Ashford family believed in the power of their fists rather than simply controlling a certain force, making themselves stronger.
In fact, Ethan agreed more with the Ashford family's approach. He thought that relying on oneself was often better than relying on others!
Upon seeing Ignatius, Ethan felt dangerous, similar to the pressure he felt from Dorian. He pondered, 'Even if Ignatius wasn't as strong as Dorian, he probably wasn't far off! Could he be another so-called master-level expert?'
"Mr. Wilson, Ignatius is halfway to a masterful level, and he should not be underestimated. More importantly, he doesn't have to care about the rules and can make a move against you! Be careful!" At this moment, a stranger suddenly appeared beside Ethan, lowering his voice to give a warning.
Ethan thought he should be a master from the Harris family, hidden to protect Isolde.
However, the information he provided still surprised Ethan a bit.
Ethan pondered, 'Half-step master level, just one step away from the master level, and he could make a move against me. This was really not good news! It seems that Dorian got smarter. Ignatius had yet to be seen during the day, but now he appeared in front of me with a very clear intention!'
"I'll deal with you all when I get back! Now, tell me what exactly happened," Ignatius merely glanced at Ethan before walking up to Magnus, squinting his eyes and asking calmly.
Magnus let out a long breath as if seeing Ignatius was like seeing a pillar of support. He immediately whispered something in his ear.
"What now? It's Ignatius. Can Ethan handle this?" Although Isolde had heard that Ethan didn't even take Dorian seriously at the engagement party, facing someone like Ignatius now, she couldn't help but feel nervous and asked Sarah with a worried look.
"Ethan naturally has his plans. Don't worry. Let's not cause any trouble!" Sarah trusted Ethan completely. After reminding Isolde, she also pondered how Ethan would make his decision.
She didn't know how Ethan's current strength compared to Ignatius, but thinking about how Dorian could crush Ethan, Ignatius probably wasn't an easy opponent either.
But Ethan always had a smiling expression on his face, showing no signs of retreat. He probably wouldn't back down suddenly.
Although she was a bit worried, she would unconditionally support any decision Ethan made.
To put it another way, if Ethan died, she was willing to die with him!
"Are you Ethan?" Ignatius finally spoke to Ethan slowly.
"Don't play dumb. If you say you don't know me, no one here would believe it, right?" Ethan's words were a taunt, and the tension was already palpable.
Not only was he not afraid of Ignatius's half-step master-level status, but he also seemed to be actively provoking him!
"What a clever young man! I heard that today, relying on your strong abilities, you injured Lucian in front of everyone. Do you think the Ashford family has no one below the master level who can deal with you?" Ignatius snorted coldly upon hearing this, clearly angered by Ethan's dismissive attitude. His words carried a strong warning.
"Don't try to change the subject. What we need to address now is the matter of Isolde being publicly beaten by the Ashford family members. Our grievances can wait until this is resolved. I know you're a half-step master level. If you want to crush me, go ahead. But this matter must be satisfactorily explained!" Ethan responded with a cold sneer, unfazed.
"And in what capacity are you speaking to me now? What does Isolde's matter have to do with you?" Ignatius hadn't expected Ethan to be so courageous, even making his intentions clear!
"I represent no one but myself. However, since Isolde is Sarah's sister, her matters naturally concern me," Ethan explained.
"Ignatius, does the Ashford family think the Harris family is easy to bully? Members of your family have wantonly humiliated the member of the Harris family. Shouldn't there be an explanation? Or do you want Carlos to seek justice from the Ashford family personally?" Sarah chimed in, saying that although Ethan wouldn't use the Harris family name, she could use it to pressure Ignatius.
"You're overstating it, niece. There's no need for Carlo to get involved in a scuffle between young people. Besides, I see that Isolde only has some scrapes. She needs a few days of rest, and she'll be fine. I can have Lucian apologize to Isolde, but the Harris family should also be reasonable, right?" Ignatius replied unhurriedly with a smile, clearly considering this a trivial matter that could be easily brushed aside.
"Lucian, hurry up and apologize to Miss Harris!" Magnus immediately signaled Lucian with his eyes.
"Isolde, I'm sorry. I acted impulsively and hit you. It was my fault. Here is a check for four million as compensation for your medical expenses. If you're still upset, you can slap me twice!" Lucian finally came to his senses. Compared to facing Ethan, he'd rather be slapped by Isolde. His words sounded sincere as he handed over a large check and bowed to Isolde, showing great sincerity.
At this point, if Isolde continued to pursue the matter, she would seem unreasonable and relentless. But letting Lucian off so easily was something she couldn't accept. The humiliation she had just suffered in front of everyone was still fresh in her mind!
"What should I do now? I can't just let this go!" Isolde, feeling helpless, turned to Sarah for help once again.
"Who claimed Isolde only had superficial injuries? She clearly has severe internal injuries and could be in life-threatening danger at any moment!" Before Sarah could speak, Ethan suddenly interjected with a cold laugh.
Everyone's faces showed surprise at Ethan's blatant lie.
"What nonsense are you talking? Isolde is clearly fine. It's not as serious as you claim. Even if she went to the hospital, it would just be minor injuries. Stop making things up!" Lucian was immediately agitated. Although he had humiliated Isolde, he had controlled his strength. While it looked bad, Isolde's injuries were not severe. Ethan was clearly trying to frame him!
"Are you sure you want to take her for an examination? I was thinking the same. After all, you hit her, and the extent of her injuries isn't for us to decide. The hospital's diagnosis will be the most convincing!" Ethan's smile widened, causing Ignatius, who was frowning on the side, to have a bad feeling suddenly.
Before anyone could understand what was happening, Isolde, who had been fine, suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted.
