“But that man called Brian Clark has already been imprisoned for murder. Getting him sentenced to death won’t be difficult. As for the widow and orphan left behind, someone will take care of them tomorrow night.”

“Mm, this old city renovation project involves over three billion. We’re investing with ‘technology’ for a ten percent stake. I don’t want any problems.”

“Godfather, Emily understands.”

The woman responded crisply and decisively.

At this moment, the man seemed to sense something. His gaze suddenly landed on Ethan, who was sitting on the steps and looked just like a college student.

Ethan also put down the bottle of mineral water he had just taken a sip from, stood up, and looked at him calmly. “General Manager of Longquan Real Estate, Henry Cooper?”

“You are…”

The man looked at Ethan, frowning.

This man in front of him…

Gave him a sense of danger.

His own strength was considered top-tier in Yunmeng City, and even nationwide he was renowned. Aside from his peers, he had few rivals. In the past ten years, he had personally killed more than a dozen people.

That was why investors had to cooperate with him for the redevelopment of this district.

Yet this man before him looked barely in his twenties, and could actually make him feel threatened—utterly inconceivable.

The next moment, Ethan moved.

A sudden pounce, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, a brutal and ferocious killing intent surging forth.

In the instant their eyes met, Henry Cooper’s heart and mind trembled.

Killing intent!

The kind of killing aura that only those who have taken more than one life can accumulate.

He didn’t dare be distracted for even a second. He half-crouched, suddenly exerting force with his feet, and charged forward, launching a fierce attack at the onrushing Ethan.

A head-on clash!

The instant they collided, Henry Cooper twisted his body, dodging the punch Ethan threw straight at him, and his right hand shot out like lightning, instantly grabbing Ethan’s shoulder. The white shirt was instantly torn to shreds.

But before he could crush Ethan’s shoulder with his grip, Ethan’s shoulder suddenly jerked and slipped away, escaping his grasp like sticky taffy.

Ethan’s body immediately shifted, spinning along Henry Cooper’s punching right arm, and slammed hard into Henry Cooper’s chest.

Iron Mountain Lean.

Henry Cooper’s pupils contracted sharply. Just as Ethan was about to slam into his chest, he managed to cave in his chest slightly with precise control, causing the tremendous force of the impact to hit empty air. Even Ethan’s own balance was thrown off a bit.

“Die!” Henry Cooper’s chest heaved.

It seemed as if a tremendous force burst forth with that shout.

But before he could make his next move, Ethan, leaning forward, suddenly exploded with power from his left foot!

“Crack!”

The floor shattered!

With a powerful push from his left foot, his body shot into the air!

His right leg bent, knee driving upward, carrying wild force as it smashed into Henry Cooper’s chest.

“Not good!”

Henry Cooper was shocked, and with lightning speed pressed both palms down to block Ethan’s incoming knee.

But…

Too late!

“Bang!”

A dull thud echoed as they collided.

Henry Cooper’s face flushed red, his eyes bloodshot from the pain, but his powerful will forced him to suppress the agony of his broken ribs.

He shifted his right foot to the side, channeling his strength downward. The solid stone floor caved in under his foot, leaving a footprint.

In a single step, he forcibly steadied himself, using his chest to pin down Ethan’s knee, while his hands circled around, locking Ethan’s upper body, left arm, right leg, and waist in a tight grip.

Strangulation!

His physique had already surpassed human limits. The strength of his grip was enough to instantly crush all the ribs and spine of a person’s upper body.

“Up!”

With a roar, Henry Cooper tightened his hold on Ethan, muscles bulging, strength surging, and lifted Ethan’s entire body off the ground.

Then, with a powerful twist of his waist, he arched backward in a suplex, slamming Ethan toward the ground, aiming the impact point—right at the head.

If this landed, Ethan’s skull would be shattered and he’d die on the spot.

Just as Henry Cooper lifted Ethan into the air and was about to slam him down, Ethan’s strength surged. His right hand shot out like a flood dragon, bursting free from Henry Cooper’s locked arms, then formed a fist and, like a giant axe splitting a mountain, smashed down fiercely at Henry Cooper’s face.

If Henry Cooper insisted on arching backward, he could smash Ethan’s head into the ground, but in doing so, his own forehead would be struck by Ethan’s fist. The final result…

Mutual destruction!

Ethan would die!

He…

Would die too!

As the number one figure in Yunmeng City’s underworld, worth hundreds of millions and enjoying a life of luxury, with important responsibilities on his shoulders, how could he possibly be willing to perish together with this unknown, lowly young man!?

“Hah!”

At the critical moment, Henry Cooper let out a roar, twisted his waist, and with the strength of his arms, flung the eighty-kilogram Ethan like a sandbag, hurling him hard toward a solid wall.

In midair, Ethan seemed oblivious to the wall looming close. His body twisted rapidly, regaining balance and center of gravity.

“No matter who you are, today, there’s only one outcome for you!”

Henry Cooper strode forward with the momentum of a landslide and tsunami, charging ahead with terrifying force.
