Ethan Smithâs face twisted in anguish, his pupils shrank, and cold sweat streamed from his forehead.
âEthanâ¦â Emily Taylor whispered softly.
Looking at Ethanâs appearance, Emilyâs heart ached in waves.
How much effort had this man put forth, not even able to find peace even in a comaâ¦
âWhat are you calling for?!â A person walked over beside them.
âYet you mustnât fail? Youâre already a prisoner now.â
Ethan looked around, and the expression on his face gradually softened.
âEthan⦠Are you okay?â Emilyâs weak voice reached Ethanâs ears.
Ethan quickly got up, grabbed the bars of the prison, and looked at Emily.
âEmilyâ¦â Ethan opened his mouth.
Emilyâs tears flowed like a bursting dam, streaming down non-stop.
âIâm sorry⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â Emily cried while shaking her head.
âIf it wasnât for me, you wouldnât have had to suffer like this. I donât want you to be a hero among men, I just want you to be safe and soundâ¦â
Because she was sobbing, Emilyâs voice was intermittent.
Her tears flowed down her snow-white neck and dampened her clothes.
Ethan held the bars and quickly shook his head: âNo, Emily, without you, my life would have had no meaning.â
âAll this was given to me by you, and itâs also a choice I made myselfâ¦â
But how could Emily know Ethanâs plan? She only knew that Ethan had been imprisoned, and she knew that the Capital City Martial Arts Association would not let him go.
At that moment, the prison door was opened.
Afterward, they saw Davy Barnett slowly walk in.
He looked at Ethan, then glanced at Emily, and said with a faint smile: âEthan, you should thank me for letting you reunite with your beloved before you die.â
âDavy Barnett, Iâll **** your mother.â Ethan said coldly.
Caught off guard by the sudden outburst of swearing, Davy Barnett was dumbfounded for a moment.
He squinted his eyes and said, âFor a prisoner like you, youâre really not obedient, are you?â
As he said this, Davy Barnett suddenly changed the subject and said, âAfter forcibly raising your realm, one would normally be in a coma for at least half a month. Itâs been only a day, and youâre already awake. I have to say, you really are talented.â
âDavy Barnett.â
Ethan was about to speak when Emily suddenly called out.
Davy Barnett turned around and walked up to Emily, smiling and saying, âMiss Taylor, do you need anything?â
Emily coldly stared at Davy Barnett and said, âIf you release Ethan, I will agree to any request you have.â
Upon hearing this, Ethanâs face suddenly changed!
âEmily, donât ask him for help! Donât beg him for my sake!â Ethan shouted anxiously!
Davy Barnett glanced at Ethan, then laughed softly: âMiss Taylor, do you two really have such deep feelings for each other?â
Emily spoke coldly, âSomeone like you, of course, wouldnât understand. You probably havenât loved anyone in your whole life.â
âHahaha!â At these words, Davy Barnett couldnât help but burst into laughter.
He leaned back with his hands behind him, smiling lightly, âMiss Taylor, youâre right. I indeed donât understand your worldly love affairs.â
âEnough with the nonsense, let Ethan go,â Emily said with an icy expression.
Davy Barnett shook his head and said, âMiss Taylor, the higher-ups have already issued an order to kill this Ethan Smith, no matter what the cost! So⦠I canât fulfill your request.â
Emilyâs eyes widened, and she couldnât help but curse, âDavy Barnett! Let Ethan go! Or I wonât let you off!â
âHahaha!â Davy Barnett burst into laughter again.
He looked at Emily with a smirk, neither laughing nor crying, and said, âMiss Taylor, if your father, Mike Taylor, were still alive, I might have weighed your words. But now⦠hehe.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDavy Barnett, Iâll **** your mother! Sooner or later, Iâll kill you!â Ethan couldnât help but swear!
Davy Barnett coldly snorted, âYou wonât have that chance. Once the paperwork comes, weâll kill you immediately!â
As he said this, Davy Barnett suddenly remembered something.
He slapped his head, and then said, âOh right, an old friend is coming to see you. I almost forgot.â
Having said that, Davy Barnett turned around and walked out.
Not long after he left, the prison door opened again.
At the entrance, there were two people. One was Davy Barnett, and the other was Dexter Blair!
âMr. Tenny, I canât give you much time, ten minutes at most,â Davy Barnett warned.
Dexter bent slightly and said, âPresident Barnett, donât worry, I wonât stay for too long.â
Davy Barnett grunted, waved his hand, and motioned for the person beside him to take Dexter in.
âBy the way, President Barnett, how is Ethanâs condition now?â Dexter suddenly asked.
Davy Barnett snorted, âHe forcibly increased his realm, and he has yet to recover. Heâs no different from an ordinary person now.â
âThen I can rest assured.â A cold smile flashed across Dexterâs face.
Afterward, Dexter strode towards the prison cell.
He came to Ethanâs cell, looked down upon Ethan and said, âTsk, tsk, werenât you very arrogant before? How did you end up like this now?â
Ethan looked at Dexter coldly and said, âWhat are you here for?â
âOf course I came to visit you.â Dexter squinted his eyes.
âEthan, do you understand now? No matter how hard you try, youâre just a lowly ant! In the end, youâll be crushed by people like us!â
âSo what if you have talent? Your origins have determined everything!â
Dexter spoke more and more wildly, blatantly displaying a triumphant appearance.
Ethan looked coldly at Dexter and said, âTo be honest, youâre really pitiful right now, like a jumping bug. It seems that our previous battle left a psychological shadow on you.â
Upon mentioning this topic, Dexterâs face suddenly changed!
He glared at Ethan, and said word by word, âI said before that I would step on you in front of Emily and make her see how pathetic you are. Now the opportunity has finally come!â
âHa, you have to rely on the Capital City Martial Arts Association to fulfill your wish? Pathetic.â Ethan mocked mercilessly.
Enraged, Dexter looked at the prison staff and said, âOpen the door!â
âAlright.â The staff did not hesitate and walked forward to unlock the prison cell.
During this time, Dexter glanced at Emily with a smug look and said, âEmily, is this the man you love? Today Iâll make him kneel before me, and let you know how bad your choice was!â
As he spoke, the prison door slowly opened.
Dexter strode in. His aura surged as he coldly said, âEthan, itâs time for you to pay the price!â
Upon saying that, Dexter immediately clenched his fist, channeling his Inner Strength and punched at Ethan!
âBang!â
However, the expected scene did not happen.
Not only did Ethan evade the punch, but he also reached out and caught Dexterâs fist!
Dexterâs face changed as he struggled desperately, only to find that he couldnât break free!
