Chapter 478 Brady's Forbearance
"Will you be very busy tomorrow? How about getting some rest early today?" Chloe asked with concern.
"Even if I rest now, it would just be practicing martial arts. Sleeping feels like a waste of time to me," Ethan replied and then asked, "But have you all made significant progress? Can you control the power of a beginner martial artist?"
Previously, he had put a lot of effort into turning Chloe and the others into martial artists. His only worry was that they wouldn't be able to adapt to using the super energy within their bodies. However, over the past few days, they seemed to have fully adapted.
"We've been diligently practicing the techniques you've taught us. The four of us have discussed it, and even if we can't help you in the future, we don't want to hold you back. We need to have the ability to protect ourselves," Chloe expressed earnestly.
"Yes, as long as you practice according to my instructions, I believe it won't be long before your skills improve." Ethan nodded in satisfaction.
What he taught Chloe and the others was the core part of the ZF knack. With his guidance and the ZF knack helping them improve their skills, their path in martial arts would be much smoother than that of ordinary martial artists, and their power at the same level would be stronger. After all, the ZF knack was one of the most orthodox Taoist techniques.
Ethan didn't tell Sarah and the others about the messy affairs of the Wilson family. There was no point in saying it, and it would only make them worry unnecessarily.
Before long, Ethan and the others went back to their rooms to rest. While they claimed to be resting, Sarah and the others, except Chloe who needed rest due to her pregnancy, were secretly practicing the ZF knack that Ethan had taught them during the night.
Ethan was well aware of this because he was also constantly practicing.
Unlike Ethan and his group, who were busy practicing, the Wilson family had a sleepless night.
The Wilson family members who had visited Ethan earlier and were thrown out by him gathered at the gate of Great Elder Brady's courtyard.
"Ethan has gone too far. He hasn't even become the head of the family yet, and he's already so arrogant, not respecting us at all. "
"That's right. We went to visit him with gifts out of goodwill. He must know we were representing you, yet he threw us all out. Isn't it insulting you?"
"Brady, I think if Ethan doesn't want to return to the Wilson family, let him be. Why insist on making him the head of the family? Are there no other suitable candidates within the Wilson family?"
"I think Zephyr is more capable than Ethan. We can choose someone else. Zephyr has already reached Half-Step Grandmaster, right? Although his power is not enough, his skills are already up to par."
As Brady listened to the group complain about Ethan and even persuade him to change his mind, his face gradually darkened, and he suddenly shouted coldly, "Shut up!"
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"Brady, they are just venting their frustration. Don't take it to heart," Herman quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"Do you also think Ethan shouldn't come back, or that my decision to bring Ethan back to the Wilson family and promise him the position of head of the family was a mistake?" Brady turned to look at Herman, his tone somewhat displeased.
Herman was at a loss for words. Even if he thought so, he didn't dare to say it.
"I'll say it one last time. Supporting Ethan as the head of the family is my decision. I'm warning you. If anyone tries to interfere, even if Ethan doesn't pursue it, I won't let it go. Now, get out of here," Brady coldly warned the group at the gate.
Everyone shivered in fear. Seeing that Brady was really angry, they didn't dare to cause any more trouble and obediently left.
After the group left, Brady asked Herman, "Is it handled?"
"I've had it quietly taken care of. I didn't expect Elmer to be so ruthless, removing all three of our hidden spies. Without internal support, the Shadow Gang will be much more restricted in their actions." Herman sighed.
"Killing my people and sending them to my doorstep, Elmer is clearly declaring war on me," Brady said, squinting his eyes.
Herman hesitated, looking at Brady for a while before cautiously asking, "Are all our spies in the Shadow Gang really gone?"
"You have doubts, so would Elmer think the same?" Brady didn't answer Herman directly, instead showing a contemplative expression.
Herman's heart skipped a beat, but he wisely chose to remain silent and not dwell on the issue.
The night passed without further incident. Early the next morning, Camila was the first to knock on Ethan's door, pulling him out of his room and insisting on going out to play.
Hannah looked helpless, trying to coax Camila, but she only wanted to stick with Ethan.
"Fine. If she wants to go out and play, let's do it. There's nothing urgent anyway." Ethan smiled and picked up Camila.
Ethan and Hannah took Camila and left the Shadow Gang, wandering around the outskirts of the Wilson Villa.
Due to recent decades of development, the outskirts of the Wilson Villa had many suitable places for Camila to play, almost as good as any famous scenic spot.
While Ethan, Hannah, and Camila were playing by the artificial lake, the Wilson Estate started to bustle.
The reason was simple: representatives and business leaders from branch families across the country began arriving in the morning.
They were the senior managers of the Wilson family branches, the backbone of the Wilson family. The total number of members from the branches was in the thousands, but only a few hundred were qualified to come to the ancestral home.
While Ethan was feeding rabbits on the lawn with Camila, Beverly appeared not far away and called out to him, "Ethan!"
"You're here early. Are you alone?" Ethan looked at Beverly and asked with a smile.
Seeing this, Hannah quickly took Camila to play elsewhere, trying not to disturb Ethan and Beverly's conversation.
"I'm the only one in charge now. My dad gave me all the authority, so there's no need for them to come. Besides, who knows what might happen this time? It's better if they don't come, so I can be more at ease," Beverly explained with a bitter smile.
In fact, Beverly did have concerns. When Ethan started a new group in Everglow City, Beverly had secretly sabotaged the Wilson family. At that time, the entire branch family was labeled as traitors. Even now, no one dared to say anything, but coming here would only invite disdain.
"I understand. It's enough that you came." Ethan didn't mind, smiling and nodding.
