Chapter 241 Ethan's Bargaining Chip
After escorting Kenny onto a military vehicle and waiting for everyone to leave, Bennit finally walked out of the hospital and got into a car parked by the roadside.
"Thanks, Bennit!" Ethan started the car, leaving the hospital while smiling and saying.
"Don't sweet-talk me. I'm not doing this for you. I don't want Remington to get angry. I'm warning you, don't drag Remington into such matters again, or I won't forgive you!" Bennit glared at Ethan. The moment he met him in Emerald Valley, he knew Ethan was dangerous!
"If you are willing to support a nobody like me, why would I need to trouble Remington?" Ethan said with a smirk and didn't take his words to heart at all.
"What kind of nobody are you? You've played tricks on several major families and the Walker family. You're an extraordinary nobody! I don't want to waste time arguing with you. Just take me back!" Bennit urged impatiently.
Before long, the two returned to Remington's villa.
At this time, three girls were playing chess with Remington. As soon as they reached the door, they could hear Remington's angry voice coming from inside. "You three girls are cheating! Haven't you heard that gentlemen should remain silent while watching a chess game?"
"Who's cheating? You're taking advantage of Alice, who doesn't know how to play chess and deliberately plays against her. Isn't that clearly bullying?" Sarah complained.
Remington was immediately at a loss for words. His face turned red with embarrassment.
"Remington is in such a good mood? How about I play a couple of games with you?" Ethan, who had just walked in, said with a smile.
"You're finally back. You should play with Remington. None of us, except Chloe, can beat him. Chloe just gave us a few pointers, and he didn't dare to play. Isn't that clearly bullying us?" Sarah immediately complained to Ethan.
"Gentlemen should remain silent watching a chess game, don't you know?" Ethan looked at Remington's embarrassed expression and reminded with a wry smile.
"We're not gentlemen. We're women! Besides, hanging around a scoundrel like you, even gentlemen would learn bad habits!" Sarah said dismissively.
"Yes, I agree with that! He is a bona fide scoundrel!" Bennit nodded in agreement.
"Bennit, how can you insult me like that?" Ethan immediately jumped up in protest.
"Alright! Everyone, come over here!" Remington cleared his throat, interrupting the playful atmosphere.
Ethan and Bennit came over and sat down on the sofa.
"Is everything settled?" Remington asked calmly.
"Thanks to Bennit, Kenny has been sent to the military camp for custody. Now it depends on whether Dorian is willing to make some sacrifices for Kenny!" Ethan said with a smile.
"That wasn't your original plan, was it?" Remington continued to ask.
"That's right. I originally planned to wait for someone from the Ashford family to lose patience and step forward, but Dorian's patience surprised me. He wasn't so easily fooled! I didn't expect Kenny to be discharged suddenly, nor did I expect him to come to me voluntarily. Now I'm really wondering if Kenny is on our side?" Ethan joked.
"You're too mischievous. You always scheme against others. Phoenix has returned to Misty Ridge. Aren't you afraid Dorian will get angry and come after you for Kenny?" Remington reminded seriously.
"He won't, at least not yet. He has other ways to solve this problem. Besides, the occurrence of Phoenix was an accident. Even without him, I would still be in constant conflict with the Ashford family. Dorian won't let me go. To Dorian, I'm at most a nobody, while he is something!" Ethan said confidently.
"You're confident, but be careful not to drag yourself down!" Bennit, who couldn't stand Ethan's smug look, snorted dismissively.
"Don't I have a teammate like Bennit?" Ethan joked.
"Ethan, this is as much as I can help you. What happens next is up to you." Remington reminded Ethan solemnly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Remington. All I want is the Skyline Center. I believe Dorian won't lose his cool over this." Ethan nodded slowly.
"How is Lysander doing?" Remington shifted the topic.
"Lysander will be fine. At most, he'll be bedridden for a few days. Once we get the Skyline Center, I promise to return you a healthy Lysander!" Ethan assured confidently.
"But that's not what you initially told me! Are you trying to pull a fast one on me again?" Remington immediately glared at him.
"This is my first attempt, after all. I can't be 100% sure about this, but there is an eighty percent likelihood!" Ethan said, looking a bit embarrassed.
"I don't care about the odds. If Lysander doesn't wake up as a warrior, I'll have you court-martialed!" Before Remington could say anything, Bennit angrily interjected.
"Wait, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!" Sarah asked curiously.
Chloe and Alice also looked curious.
"I promised Remington that if Lysander cooperated with my plan, I could make him wake up as a warrior with an energy center in his body!" Ethan said with a wry smile, rubbing his nose.
"How is that possible? Isn't one supposed to practice from a young age, and then..." Sarah's eyes widened, but she realized something was off as soon as she spoke. She pondered, 'Wait. Ethan doesn't practice for long, either!
'Only by truly forming an energy center in the body and possessing super energy can one be called a warrior. But how could forming an energy center in the body be so easy?'
"In the medical techniques I learned, there's a type of method that can help people develop an energy center. I'm confident I can help Lysander develop an energy center, but I don't know whether it will truly function like an energy center and enhance his strength!" Ethan explained with a bitter smile.
"Are you serious? If you have that ability, couldn't you create a whole bunch of warriors?" Sarah's eyes widened in shock, and even Chloe looked astonished.
"Why else do you think I've been putting up with his antics?" Remington reminded with a wry smile.
It turned out that the fourth needle of Ethan's Nine Flying Needles had the effect of developing an energy center in the body. In theory, Ethan could create an unlimited number of warriors, but only warriors.
Although the warrior level didn't mean much to Ethan now, no number of warriors could defeat a master level. That was the difference in power.
But if this ability were applied to the military, it would be a different story.
If all the soldiers in the military became martial artists, there would be no fear of any foreign enemies!
"Let's hope you're not talking nonsense. You've already reported this to the military, and several high-ranking officials are closely watching. If you benefit from the Ashford family but fail to deliver, consider the consequences yourself!" Bennit warned righteously.
"I wouldn't dare joke about something like this, even if I had ten times the courage!" Ethan nodded with a bitter smile.
"Ethan, do my grandpa and the others know about this ability of yours?" Sarah asked, staring intently at Ethan.
Although Chloe didn't speak, she also gazed at him. Obviously, that was also what she was wondering!
Ethan immediately realized that while this ability might be useless to him, it would be a pleasant surprise for the Harris family and the Miller family!
"Don't get too excited just yet. Things aren't as simple as you think!" Ethan quickly reminded Chloe and Sarah.
