Chapter 088 I'm Still the Youth from Before

"Ethan, how could you act so impulsively? Dared to lay hands on the Minister of Project Department at the Aim Group?" Robert lamented, looking at Ethan with some distress, thinking he was too reckless and disregarded the consequences.

Jane was also furious, pointing at Ethan's nose and cursing, "You think you haven't caused enough trouble for our family? You're not a responsible person at all, only causing havoc for us! Now, tell me, how do we solve this situation? If we can't handle it, the Smith Group will suffer losses, and even Bernice will be expelled from the family!"

Bernice, unusually, said, "Mom and Dad, don't blame him. Mario went too far today, and Ethan stood up for me."

Ethan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will solve this. Mario won't stay as minister for long, and I will make sure Bernice gets the project. That's my promise."

"Yeah, words are cheap," Jane said coldly. "If you can do it, I'll wash your feet tonight!"

"No need, it should be a gesture of filial respect from juniors to seniors. I couldn't ask for that," Ethan replied cheerfully.

"You really think you're capable of it?" Jane slapped at Ethan's head, but he dodged it skillfully, leaving Jane fuming. She couldn't believe this son of a gun dared to avoid it!

"I'll go find Mario to resolve the problem. You just wait at home for good news," Ethan said.

After saying that, he left straight away.

Jane gritted her teeth. "He caused such a big mess and now he's running away like nothing happened?"

"Mum, maybe he really went to handle the situation. And he is indeed the deputy minister at the Aim Group," Bernice said, pursing her lips.

This surprised both Robert and Jane, who then asked for more details about what had happened.

Jane huffed, "Just a vice minister in the Security Department, in other words, a security chief. What's there to be proud of?"

After leaving the Smith family, Ethan found out where Mario was and headed straight to the hospital.

Seeing Ethan appear before him so quickly, Mario couldn't help but tremble. He sneered, "You came?"

Ethan had a smile on his face as he said, "Impressive move, threatening the Smith Group just like that!"

"So, you're Ethan? You're the one who hit our boss? Damn, you have some nerve! Our boss is Miss Anderson's cousin. If you dare lay a hand on him, I bet you won't last in this company!"

"A security chief daring to lay hands on the responsible person in our prestigious Project Department? You better kneel and repent right away!"

The employees from the project department who came to the hospital to visit Mario all had faces full of resentment, wanting to show off in front of him.

Mario was full of smugness and said, "How do you plan on making me forgive you?"

"No, it should be how you plan to come up with a reason for me to spare you," Ethan said aloofly, staring at Mario.

"You dare to say such things after hitting our leader? Do you really think Miss Anderson will support you?"

"Miss Anderson is currently in the next room, visiting Even. She'll be here soon, and I hope you have the guts to say such nonsense then!"

"You think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong? In this day and age in society, strength alone doesn't mean you're powerful."

Ethan found these people annoying and frowned impatiently.

Mario sneered, "Spare me? If it weren't for the fact that you're also a member of the company, I would have reported you to the authorities for ruining the company's reputation, and you would already be in prison!"

"You come here now, still unrepentant, and dare to speak to me in this tone? Let me tell you—unless you break that mouth of yours in front of me today and bring Bernice to my house completely naked, I will make The Smith Group go bankrupt and kick you out of the company!"

Both he and Even were beaten by Ethan, but Even suffered even worse, with facial fractures and a concussion.

The situation had caused enough commotion to alert Ella. Ethan knew he wouldn't face any punishment, so he was completely fearless.

"Look at what a useless person you are. The fact that the minister is willing to sleep with your wife is a sign of respect for you!"

"That's right! Not every woman can win Mario's favor! He liked your wife and was willing to offer you benefits. That's your greatest honor!"

The employees in the project department were being arrogant, and they all decided to speak.

Ethan walked over to Mario's sickbed with his hands in his pockets.

"Kneel down," Mario said calmly.

Ethan looked down at him, a smile on his face, and said, "There's a fierce young man in our prison."

"What are you talking about? What does that have to do with you kneeling and apologizing?" Mario said contemptuously.

Ignoring him, Ethan continued, "This guy is so fierce that he hacked an enemy into the hospital."

Everyone's face showed disgust. It was just something that happened in a prison. What was there to boast about?

"Then this enemy wanted revenge. But before he could find someone, the young man stormed into the hospital with a knife. He mercilessly attacked the enemy, delivering a total of eighteen slashes. After that beating, the enemy surrendered and dared not provoke him again."

After hearing Ethan's words, everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Mario, however, snapped back to reality, his face turning ugly as he coldly said, "I don't believe you would dare to lay a finger on me again in front of all these employees! Miss Anderson is right next door, try it!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have a knife right now. Otherwise, I would really like to see what you would look like after being slashed eighteen times," Ethan said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"You fool! Who do you think you're fooling here? If you dare to touch Mario here, I'll make you kneel on the spot!"

"Miss Anderson invited me over, and I have a lot to discuss with her. If you have any objections, you can bring them up with her as well," Ethan replied calmly.

"Anderson was visiting Even next door. Why don't you go and provoke her? Let's see if Miss Anderson will spare you."

The employees all expressed their disdain and contempt.

At this moment, Ethan's hand fell and landed on Mario's finger, which was in a cast.

Mario exclaimed in shock and anger, "Ethan, how dare you!"

Ethan smiled faintly and said seriously, "Of course, I dare, because...I am still the same young man as I was before!"

The cast cracked, and the finger bent.

At this moment, Ethan once again broke Mario's that had just been adjusted finger, right in front of all the staff...
