Chapter 296 Sorcery
"How do you know he's definitely using sorcery?" Ethan raised an eyebrow and pressed further.
"I'm not entirely sure, but when I fought him, I noticed that Andrew's energy was very strange. It wasn't as pure as that of a normal one; instead, it was very viscous, almost as if there was an absorbing force. During the fight, my energy was unknowingly being absorbed by him," Greg recalled the details of his encounter with Andrew, his expression shifting unpredictably.
"He could absorb your energy? Is it similar to how I absorbed Kenny's energy at the engagement party?" Ethan's heart skipped a beat.
"The situation is somewhat similar, but Andrew isn't as extreme as you. Although he can absorb my energy, it's very slow and doesn't have a significant impact on me in a short time. Naturally, he can't compare to you!" Greg shook his head again, explaining.
"It is so strange. Did I use sorcery when I absorbed Kenny's energy?" Ethan felt a mix of amusement and frustration.
"I don't know what method you used at that time, but sorcery absorbs others' energy to convert it for personal use, similar to the legendary evil techniques. However, when you absorbed Kenny's energy, it didn't seem to increase your power much, which puzzled me," Greg slowly shook his head, explaining.
Ethan thought to himself that it wasn't him who absorbed Kenny's energy but the Sun Bead. Greg's words made Ethan feel somewhat guilty. Although the methods were different, the purpose was the same. After the Sun Bead absorbed Kenny's energy, it could convert it into the energy of the ZF knack. Then, during Ethan's daily practice, it would slowly infuse into his body. Although it wasn't an immediate effect, it accelerated his training progress, benefiting him greatly.
"I certainly don't practice any sorcery. It's a medical technique, like disabling an enemy. At that time, I couldn't disable Dorian, so I could only deplete all his energy." Ethan made up an excuse. He didn't want people to think he practiced any sorcery.
"I see. I've always known your medical skills were exceptional, Mr. Wilson, but I didn't expect such miraculous methods!" Greg took a deep breath upon hearing this, looking at Ethan with a newfound respect.
"From what you said earlier, Andrew can absorb your energy and use it for himself?" Ethan quickly shifted the conversation away from himself.
"It seems so. During the fight, there was a trend of my energy decreasing while his increased. I felt increasingly weak, while Andrew seemed to grow stronger. Eventually, I had to retreat; if I had continued, I might have been done for," Greg said, his eyes showing a hint of fear.
"I'm even more curious about how much Andrew has grown now!" Ethan was now more eager to witness the so-called sorcery Greg mentioned.
Of course, Ethan didn't consider Andrew a threat. He was confident that killing Andrew would be easy. What he truly wanted to see was the mysterious man behind Andrew, but to meet him, Ethan had to start with Andrew.
"By the way, Mr. Wilson, I found Gabriella and Sharon at Andrew's place yesterday. Chloe must have told you." Greg shifted the topic.
"Chloe has mentioned it. You don't need to worry; I have no ties with them anymore. When we get to the scene, don't hold back. Just follow my orders!" Ethan did not want to dwell on Gabriella and Sharon's issues any longer. He gave his orders in a firm and unquestionable tone.
Meanwhile, at the Johnson family villa, Andrew was sitting smugly with Gabriella and Sharon in his arms, a sinister smile playing on his face. A trace of hidden fear could be seen on both Gabriella's and Sharon's faces. Clearly, Andrew's sudden and forceful return had left them in a state of alarm.
Since the Johnson family had been driven out of Nova York by the Miller family, Gabriella and Sharon had planned to team up with Beverly to deal with Ethan. When they heard that Beverly had secretly acquired Ethan's assets in Baytown, they felt joyful, as if they had achieved a victory themselves.
However, this feeling of joy didn't last long. Andrew's sudden reappearance threw Gabriella and Sharon into a state of unease and fear. Andrew had returned to Nova York unscathed, his power greatly increased, and his temperament had become extremely erratic and unpredictable.
Initially, Gabriella and Sharon had no intention of getting involved with Andrew again. The Johnson family's previous defeat had made them lose faith in him. Moreover, Beverly had already dealt a fatal blow to Ethan, making cooperation with Beverly their best option. But then they heard rumors that Beverly had once again reached an agreement with Ethan, and the chairman of the Cloud Group had changed hands back to Ethan, their last hope was shattered.
With almost no other options, Gabriella and Sharon found themselves forced to ally with Andrew despite their reluctance. Sharon, in her quest for revenge against Ethan, was willing to go to any lengths, even if it meant compromising herself. Yet, when facing Andrew, Sharon instinctively felt resistance and repulsion. Andrew, now erratic and unpredictable, was no longer easy to deal with. Any displeasure would result in him lashing out at them, leaving Gabriella and Sharon with no choice but to hold it out.
"Ethan has returned to Nova York. Let's see some fun! Why do you two look so unhappy?" Andrew glanced at Gabriella and Sharon with contempt, a mocking smile on his face.
"How could we be unhappy? We've been dreaming of dealing with Ethan. We're thrilled!" Gabriella shivered at his words, quickly forcing a flattering smile as she explained.
"I knew it. We should be of one mind. Don't worry. As long as you serve me well, I promise to make Ethan kneel before you and beg for forgiveness!" Andrew's confidence had clearly skyrocketed as he believed he now possessed unparalleled power. After all, he had even driven Greg away yesterday so he wouldn't fear Ethan.
Moreover, with Magister backing him, Andrew felt invincible. Just then, the sound of a car stopping outside the villa made Andrew's expression change.
"Could it be Greg again? He suffered yesterday, and yet he dares to come back today? If he doesn't know his place, he'll be done for!" Andrew's energy began to surge. Having absorbed some of Greg's energy the previous day, he had become highly sensitive to Greg's presence. If Greg were nearby, Andrew would surely sense it.
