Chapter 086 Like a Tiger's Tail

Even looked coldly at Ethan and said, "As the Deputy Minister of the Security Department, instead of protecting the safety of the company's senior management, you broke Mario's finger. What happened? I need an explanation from you, otherwise, don't blame me for dealing with you!"

Ethan frowned and asked, "What's there to be explained?"

Even's expression turned even colder as he said, "As your superior, is that how you speak to me? I'll give you another chance to phrase your words."

"Even, let me explain..." Bernice, seeing Ethan's temper flare up, had to step in and explain what happened.

After listening, Even sneered and said, "So, Mario was just joking with you, and you broke his finger?!"

"A joke?!" Bernice asked in shock.

"Yes, Mario likes to joke around. He was only joking," Even said.

"How can that be a joke when he said something so offensive?" Bernice felt embarrassed.

"If I say it's a joke, then it's a joke," Even said with a dark expression, waving his hand to stop Bernice from speaking further.

Bernice could only force a smile, realizing the immense power of the Aim Group. She couldn't do anything when they turned black into white.

At this moment, Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, "Even, your mother died."

Even was momentarily stunned, then he angrily said, "What did you say?!"

"Just kidding, don't mind me," Ethan laughed and repeated, "Your mother died."

Mario, seeing Even trembling with anger, immediately shouted, "Even, you see this, right? What an attitude he has! He's simply a thug! How can the Aim Group have such scum? Hurry up and teach him a lesson!"

"This guy dares to talk to Even like that. Even is a retired special forces agent..."

"Yeah, I witnessed a recruit last time who didn't respect authority and, relying on his boxing skills honed for ten years, challenged Even. As a result, Even dislocated both his hands."

"He's disrespecting Even like this, no filter in his mouth. Soon, Even will punch his mouth into pieces!"

Even clenched his fist tightly, his face turning sinister, and said, "I'll give you a chance to apologize."

Ethan smiled and replied, "Didn't I tell you? I was joking. So why should I apologize? Just like what Mario did earlier, it was just a joke, right?"

Even's arm shook slightly in anger as he took a step forward.

"Even has made a great accomplishment recently, securing the land for New Age Mansion from the Tiger Group. Miss Anderson is very impressed with him!"

"Yes, although Ethan, the deputy minister, was personally promoted by Miss Anderson, if Even deals with him, Miss Anderson will surely side with Even."

"Ethan doesn't understand the situation and doesn't know his place. He's digging his own grave. Let's just enjoy the show and maybe bring some fruit to the hospital to visit him!"

"Even's abilities and strength are well recognized within the company, and everyone holds great respect for him as the minister."

After hearing these whispers, Ethan was momentarily stunned, then he smiled and said, "When did my achievements turn into you snatching food from the Tiger Group?"

But Even's face grew cold as he replied, "If Samuel and I hadn't engaged Mr. Chaucer first, exhausting a significant amount of his energy, could you have secured the victory in the end? Do you think you can beat Mr. Chaucer with just your skills as a prison guard? When you were a guard, all you trained in was basic self-defense techniques, right? I've never seen such a shameless person like you."

Bernice was slightly shocked after hearing Even's words and wondered if she should reevaluate this husband who suddenly appeared in her life.

"That's right, how could just a prison guard compare to Even, who retired from the special forces!"

"This guy is so shameless. It was clearly Even and Samuel who exhausted the expert sent by the Tiger Group, yet he benefits from it and now wants to claim the credit?"

"How can our company have such a shameless person as our deputy minister? It's embarrassing just to think about it!"

With Even's speech, everyone looked at Ethan with disdain, evaluating him from top to bottom, finding him despicable and lacking in any strengths.

Ethan laughed and dismissed their judgment.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to apologize or give me an explanation?!" Even loudly questioned.

"Idiot!" Ethan sneered, spitting out the word with a smug expression.

Even became furious and charged forward in one stride, instantly appearing in front of Ethan. He raised his hand and threw a sharp punch directly at his throat!

"Even's movements are indeed fierce. Even after retiring for so many years, he's still sharp. Dealing with Ethan is like a piece of cake!"

"Even if he returned to the army now, he would definitely have a place. What can this useless Ethan do to compare with him?"

"Miss Anderson was honestly deceived. She surely promoted such trash to lead us! It's truly embarrassing!"

"Only someone like Even is worthy of leading us."

Ethan took a half step back, avoiding Even's punch, and calmly said, "Since you are my senior. Let me handle this, but don't blame me if I have to take action."

Bernice couldn't help but feel nervous and said, "Let's talk it out instead of resorting to violence. After all, he is your superior."

"Talk it out? Can't you see what's happening? These idiots are clearly trying to bully you. Do you still want them to talk it out?" Ethan turned his head, asking in surprise.

Bernice was astounded. Indeed, Mario and Even were bullying her, looking down on her and thinking they could manipulate her at will.

"Be careful!" Bernice suddenly exclaimed, trying to move forward to push Ethan away.

"But a flaw!" Even sneered and struck right then as Ethan turned his head away. He advanced, twisted his waist, and then swung his fist.

Without even turning his head, Ethan dodged the punch by tilting his head, while his arm swung behind him. His hand, like a tiger's tail, was thick, powerful, and lightning fast!

A solid slap landed on Even's face, causing him to somersault in mid-air and crash onto the table with a loud bang.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded!
