Chapter53 Strengthening Power

Ethan looked at their surprised looks and sneered, “Will you surrender yourself, or do you want me to tie you up and hand you over to the police?”

“Mr. Bell, he has discovered our secret. We can’t let him get away!”

Clint immediately reminded Antonio anxiously.

“Guards, take him down!”

Antonio reacted as soon as he heard it. With a sharp look, he immediately shouted at his four bodyguards.

He initially never wanted Clint to leave alive, so he prepared four guards to kill him off. Unexpectedly, he had to deal with Ethan first!

“I was worried I wouldn’t be able to teach you a lesson, Alex. However, I didn't expect you to just come to my doorstep. You can’t say this is my fault anymore! Weren’t you so capable before? Let's see how you'll die now!”

Clint laughed triumphantly. In his opinion, the skinny and weak Ethan couldn't possibly be a match for the bodyguards. He was doomed this time!

The four bodyguards immediately took out their daggers, charging toward Ethan.

Hannah, who was hiding under Ethan’s orders, couldn't help but scream. She instantly caught Clint and Antonio's attention!

“It's Hannah, catch her!”

Clint immediately recognized her, him and Antonio immediately chasing her afterward.

Seeing this, Hannah hurriedly ran toward the exit.

Ethan's expression turned cold. He didn't expect them to find Hannah, so he couldn’t hold back anymore. With all his strength, he swiftly defeated the bodyguards.

But after doing all this, Ethan suddenly froze in realization that his strength had improved a lot. Moreover, the cool energy in his body flowed during his power outburst, following and entering the bodyguards when he hit them.

Those four individuals hadn't figured out the situation yet, soon screaming in agony as they fainted one-by-one.

Could this cool energy also be used for attacking people? It even had such a dominating effect!

It only took one punch, and the person was knocked unconscious?

Even though they were ordinary people, Ethan knew that if he fought them a few days ago, he wouldn’t be able to knock them out as cleanly!

At that moment, Hannah screamed again.

Only then did Ethan snap back to reality, seeing Clint and Antonio getting closer to her.

Without thinking too much, he rushed toward them and was surprised to find that his speed had also improved significantly.

He had already reached them in the blink of an eye.

Professional athletes needed at least 8-9 seconds to cover that much distance, and Ethan had never reached this level of speed before! But right now, he didn’t have the time to think about the reason behind this.

Just as Clint was about to catch Hannah, Ethan kicked him and sent him flying. Clint immediately fell heavily to the ground, collapsing instantly.

“I’ve always been this strong, but it's a pity you're so useless!” Ethan coldly snorted, despite Clint no longer being able to hear him.

Antonio’s face turned pale when he saw this, his legs weak as he kneeled and begged, “Please spare me... I have a lot of money, I can give you all of it if you let me leave!”

“I think you'd be better off lying down like him!” Ethan sneered, swiftly punching Antonio in the face.

The next second, Antonio collapsed unconscious on the ground. Only then did Hannah snap out of her fright and looked at Ethan with gratitude.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived. With solid evidence, Antonio and Clint had nowhere to run. The funds and documents would soon return to Hannah's hands.

Hannah wasn’t scared anymore, feeling more grateful toward Ethan. The police in charge initially wanted to take Ethan and Hannah back to the police station for questioning, but Ethan didn't want to complicate things and gestured to Hannah. The latter immediately understood and went to discuss privately with the police officer.

Money could apparently solve many things, especially if it wasn't a big deal. The police officer was also relieved and after letting two junior officers question them briefly, they hastily concluded the matter.

Just then, Ethan's phone suddenly rang. It was from Chloe, which surprised him. Her voice came through as the call connected, “Ethan, did you bet on a sky-high-priced jade today?”

“How did you know?“ Ethan asked, surprised.

“I saw it on the news. Even though you were wearing sunglasses, I recognized you. I didn’t actually expect it to be you! You can actually gamble gemstones now?” she explained and asked in astonishment. Ethan's mind suddenly stirred, not expecting this matter to already reach the news. The media was unexpectedly fast, huh?

If Chloe could recognize him, then perhaps the Wilson family’s people might also be able to. It seemed that he had underestimated the sensation that jade caused. He couldn't be so high-profile anymore in the future!

Chloe suddenly changed the subject and asked, “Ethan, do you have time now? I have something important to discuss with you, so can you come over?”

He furrowed his brows instantly and replied, “What's the matter?”

“It's hard to explain over the phone. Let's meet and talk.”

With slight urgency in her tone, Ethan agreed. He got the location details and asked Hannah to return before riding a taxi to the villa area Chloe mentioned.
Soon, he saw Chloe waiting by the road at the villa area’s entrance.

Ethan got out of the car and curiously asked, “Don't tell me you have a villa here too. Why did you call me here?”

Chloe explained, “I don't have a villa here, but my best friend Sarah does. She's a Harris family member,” Then, she took his hand and led him inside the area.
“A Harris family member? One of the four top families?” Ethan's heart skipped a beat.

“Yes, you truly are from the Wilsons. You're quite familiar with the top families!” she praised him with an appreciative look.

Ethan had it suspected before, but now it was almost certain, “So, you’re really from the Millers?”

“I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it from you for long once Greg showed up!” Chloe sighed helplessly.

“I thought you had something important to tell me. Why did you suddenly bring me to the Harris family’s territory? Moreover, it doesn’t seem like they’re in Novaria, no?” Ethan asked, his face full of astonishment.

Chloe said earnestly, “You're right. Except for the Wilsons, the other three major families have their roots in Houston. Even you guys have gradually shifted your focus to Houston in recent years. The Harris family in Novaria is just a branch of the main one in Houston! Anyway, I brought you here to establish a connection with the Harris family. After all, isn't that important?”

In reality, her true goal was to help Ethan as much as possible before she returned to Houston. She was fully aware of the Wilson family’s immense size and power, which was considered the most powerful among the four other families. If Ethan wanted to stand against them, he would need the support of the other three families!
