Chapter 044 Confidence

Ethan's attitude startled everyone. Has this guy lost his mind? Does he see himself as the young master of the McKellen family? And sees himself as Diana's fiancé?

Bernice's face was also filled with horror. This is Eric, from the Hawker family. Offending him is much scarier than offending the Dragon Chamber of Commerce!

Even ten Dragon Chamber of Commerce combined might not be a match for the Hawker family!

"So, what if I don't drink? What can you do to me?" Ethan challenged.

"I am the young master of the Hawker family! As a former New Yorker, you should know what the Hawker family represents," Ethan continued confidently.

Eric didn't take Ethan seriously; he didn't believe this guy would dare to touch him. It's easy to talk tough, but acting on it is another matter.

With those words, Eric stood up and reached out his right hand, intending to smack Ethan's cheek. He said, "Bastard, my patience is limited. If you don't do as I say, you'll pay for it..."

Before Eric's hand could reach Ethan's face, Ethan abruptly grabbed his hand and pressed it onto the tabletop.

The next moment, Ethan picked up a steel fork, twirling it effortlessly between his fingers. Then, with a sudden thrust, the fork pierced through Eric's hand, even penetrating the sturdy wooden tabletop, pinning his entire palm to it.

"Ah!" Eric shrieked in agony, his body curling up as he held his injured hand in pain.

Bernice's mind exploded, and her thoughts became fuzzy. Ethan... he actually attacked Eric?!

And he went as far as impaling Eric's hand with a steel fork!

Ethan coldly stated, "You will drink this beverage today, whether you do it willingly or not. Otherwise, this matter won't be resolved so easily!"

"Ethan, you're just a lunatic. How dare you harm Mr. Hawker!" Norton couldn't help but roar, his face also filled with shock.

The surrounding subordinates of Eric also wore expressions of terror. They had only witnessed Eric bullying others; they had never seen anyone retaliate against him like this!

Tears welled up in Bernice's eyes as she anxiously asked, "Mr. Hawker, are you all right?"

"He... he didn't mean to. It was just a moment of impulse. Please, don't... I apologize on his behalf. I will cover the cost of your injury and compensate you..." Bernice stuttered in fear, her mind still in disarray.

Eric's face was twisted with a grimace as he said, "Who do you think you are? Apologize to me, seriously?! " After saying this, he looked at Ethan and gritted his teeth, saying, "Ethan, if you dare to touch me, within twenty-four hours, the entire Smith family will accompany you to the grave!"

While Eric was speaking, Ethan slammed the drink heavily on the table in front of him. There was a dull sound, causing ripples in the drink.

Ethan's face was full of indifference as he asked, "Are you going to drink it?"

"You dare to threaten Mr. Hawker, I'll kill you first!" A second-generation rich man picked up a chair and intended to smash it on Ethan.

Without turning his head, Ethan delivered a rear kick, sending the rich man flying along with the chair, crashing into the wall.

"Don't mess with him, this guy is a lunatic. It doesn't matter anymore. We don't need to fight him!"

"Yes... He offended Mr. Hawker, who had already declared that he and the Smith family will be wiped out within twenty-four hours. We don't need to provoke him now."

"I've never seen such a reckless person before. He's just a powerless prison guard. How dare he resort to violence against Mr. Hawker!"

Seeing Eric's silence, Ethan smirked and firmly grabbed Eric's chin, forcing him to tilt his head back. Then, taking the drink, he forcefully poured it into Eric's mouth!

Everyone watched in numbness. This was the young master of the famous Hawker family!

After finishing the drink, Ethan pressed Eric's head against the table with a thud.

Bernice collapsed into a chair, her face became pale, and she trembled...

This was it. Eric would certainly would not let go of Ethan and the Smith family!

Norton began to tremble. With the situation escalating like this, if the Hawker family pursued it, he would likely be implicated...

The second-generation elites around them shivered, fear clearly visible on their faces.

"Mr. Hawker, remember next time don't provoke the wrong person!" Ethan chuckled and flicked his hand on a steel fork.

The fork pierced through Eric's palm and buzzed violently after Ethan flicked it, causing Eric to scream in pain.

Eric looked at Ethan with a fierce expression, his eyes seemingly able to kill. He nodded fiercely and said, "Very well! Ethan, you dared to humiliate me! You are nothing but a fallen prison guard now, yet you dared to threaten me. I have to say, you have quite the audacity!"

"I hope you can stay just as tough until our people arrive. Otherwise, it would be boring. I have noted today's events, and if I don't repay you ten or a hundred times over, my name is not Hawker!"

Hearing Eric speak so solemnly, everyone's hearts trembled. The significance of these words was not to be underestimated.

It was chilly inside, and in their impression, this was the first time Mr. Hawker had spoken so harshly.

Mr. Hawker has always been a person of few harsh words. If he wants to mess with someone, he goes all out without bothering with words.

But this time was different. One could easily imagine the anger he was holding in his heart at this moment.

"I'll be waiting for you!" Ethan reached out and gently pat Eric's face, smiling.

Eric's eyes turned dark as he said, "Remember, within twenty-four hours, I will ruin family! You can also try to escape. I would honestly like to see if you can run away from the Hawker family's pursuit! Even if you run to Italy, run to Antarctica, I will make you realize what price you pay for offending me!"

After saying this, Eric forcefully roared and pulled the steel fork out of his palm, wincing in pain and gasping for breath.

"You're quite confident, I admire that! I'll be waiting." Ethan smiled, pulled the frightened Bernice, and walked outside.

Norton shouted, "Ethan, if you're a man, don't involve Bernice. Take responsibility for your own actions..."

"Involve? The Smith family is bound to be buried because of him! Anyone associated with him will have no place to hide!"

Eric lowered his head, coldly licking his wound, and spoke slowly.

Seeing Eric like this, everyone trembled slightly once again. This time, Mr. Hawker was probably going to make a big move!

Boston was about to be thrown into chaos!
