Chapter212The Gap

Isolde suddenly fainting gave Sarah quite a scare. Fortunately, she had been supporting Isolde all along and managed to catch her in time.

"Ethan, what's going on? Why did she suddenly faint?" Sarah asked anxiously.

"I just told you, didn't I? She's seriously injured and could be in life-threatening danger at any moment. Call 911!" Ethan reminded her calmly.

Sarah looked up at Ethan in surprise and saw him wink at her, making her realize what was going on. She pondered, 'Was this his doing?'

Ethan just smiled without saying anything and turned his gaze towards the members of the Ashford family.

"Impossible! She's definitely faking it! I didn't hit her that hard. There's no way she could have fainted!" Lucian's face turned red with anger, pointing at Isolde and trying to explain.

"Let's wait for the hospital's diagnosis to see what's really going on with Isolde," Ethan said, spreading his hands as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Did you do something?" Ignatius's face darkened immediately.

Even if he was slow to react, he now realized that Ethan was taking the opportunity to causing trouble.

"Don't make baseless accusations. Everything needs evidence. If you can prove that I did something, go ahead and show the evidence. I'm willing to accept any punishment!" Ethan said, pointing at Ignatius indignantly, looking even more wronged than Lucian.

"Fine! I want to see just how clever your tricks are!" Ignatius said, clenching his fists in anger, his body trembling. He pondered, 'If something really happened to Isolde, the Ashford family would have a hard time shaking off the bad reputation.'

He knew that Ethan had excellent medical skills and that it wasn't impossible for him to have done something to Isolde. But if it was artificial, it could be found out. He didn't believe Ethan could make it flawless.

Soon, an ambulance arrived at the scene, and after the medical staff took Isolde away, the young ladies who had come with her quickly followed.

Sarah naturally wouldn't leave Ethan alone to face Ignatius.

"Ethan, no matter what happens to Isolde, we will give the Harris family a satisfactory explanation. But before that, shouldn't we settle our scores? You put Kenny in the hospital, and as his uncle, I have to teach you a lesson!" Ignatius said coldly after Isolde and the others had left, glaring at Ethan.

Clearly, he intended to take this opportunity to deal with Ethan once and for all to avoid future troubles.

"Ignatius, you're an elder. Can you not go too far?" Sarah said anxiously.

"Sarah, this is a matter between the Ashford family and Ethan. Do you really want to drag the Harris family into this?" Ignatius warned sternly.

Sarah wanted to say something, but Ethan raised his hand to stop her. Shaking his head, he pulled Sarah behind him, signaling her to stay quiet.

Although Sarah was worried, she had no choice but to keep silent, watching Ethan and Ignatius nervously.

"When a child gets bullied, the parents step in. I'm used to the Ashford family's ways. You can't handle losing. Kenny lost to me because he wasn't skilled enough. Dorian wanted to intervene back then, but due to master-level rules, nothing came of it. Now he's brought you out, all for the sake of avenging Kenny!"

Ethan chuckled, exposing Ignatius's true intentions in just a few words.

"So what if it is? Your mistake was offending the Ashford family and injuring my nephew! You must pay for your actions!" Ignatius sneered. He thought that since the truth was out, there was no need for pleasantries, and he was here to avenge Kenny!

"Ethan, my dad's strength is not something Kenny can compare to. You're dead today!" Magnus taunted Ethan with a sinister smile.

"Protect Sarah. Don't let anyone touch her. If anything happens, take her back to the Harris family immediately. Don't worry about me!" Ethan ordered the Harris family guard in a stern voice.

"Ethan, what are you planning to do?" Sarah asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. But if a fight breaks out, I might not be able to look after you. I know you won't agree to leave now, so make sure to protect yourself," Ethan said, shaking his head and seriously advising Sarah.

"No way. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to Chloe? I won't leave you, even if it means dying!" Sarah insisted stubbornly.

"Could he kill me? I don't think he's qualified!" Ethan said confidently, a smile appearing on his face.

Seeing Ethan's confident smile and feeling his strong inner confidence, Sarah's nervousness seemed to dissipate, and she calmed down.

"Have you finished your last words? If so, I'm going to make my move!" Ignatius asked impatiently.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Ethan retorted.

"You're asking for it!" Ignatius, enraged and unable to hold back any longer, made the first move!

The powerful aura and terrifying speed made Ethan feel like he was about to suffocate. She thought, 'This is the fundamental gap between him and Ignatius! Even though Ignatius is only a half-step master level, not yet at Dorian's level, he is still much stronger than Ethan! So, is it the power of a half-step master level? Truly terrifying!'

Ethan's heart sank, and his expression grew more serious.

Ignatius lightly shook his wrist. The two were already moving toward each other, and with Ignatius's terrifying speed, there was no time to dodge Ethan.

But Ignatius had no intention of dodging. He showed a look of disdain.

"Trivial tricks." As soon as he finished speaking, Ignatius was already in front of Ethan.

"What a strong man!" Ethan raised his eyebrows.

"If this is all you've got, then die!" Ignatius roared, throwing a punch at Ethan's head.

Ethan raised his hand to block, his palm wrapping around Ignatius's fist, but the powerful energy sent him flying backward, crashing heavily into a wall. He fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Ethan!" Sarah's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but cry out.

"Stay back! I'm fine!" Ethan raised his hand to stop Sarah from rushing over. He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked seriously at Ignatius in the distance.
