Naturally, he wouldn’t let any opportunity to make money slip by.

“810,000.”

Ethan gave the number.

He had gained a total profit of 810,000 from the three people.

He glanced again at the trench coat man’s broken neck.

Although the transaction process had been a bit complicated...

He had earned a profit of 810,000, which would naturally increase his [Merchant] experience.

At that moment, he distractedly operated the ancient tree in his mind.

[Transaction profit: 810,000. First-tier merchant branch receives growth nutrients... Since the trunk has absorbed all the nutrients, growth has stopped.]

Immediately after, the branch belonging to [Martial Arts] received a nutrient infusion and began to grow.

After Ethan digested the small amount of new experience regarding the Organ Refining stage, he looked at the anonymous card from Terry Bank in his hand.

“I wonder how much my life is worth.”

He had already found the password on his phone.

The experience gained from merchant transactions was far less than that from demon hunting.

But as long as the amount was large enough, it could still serve as a supplement and a pleasant surprise.

In addition, he still had a key in his hand that looked like a USB drive.

This was an identity token for the underground world.

It recognized the token, not the person.

Just as Ethan was about to use the token to contact a professional cleaner to tidy up the room, hurried footsteps approached.

Ethan listened for a moment, got up, and went to the living room, intending to close the door.

At this moment, a shout came from around the corner of the hallway.

“Ethan.”

Immediately, two women hurried over.

One of them...

Her looks and temperament were both outstanding, completely out of place in the somewhat dim apartment.

This was the original body’s older sister, Grace Brooks.

Also the only color in the original body’s memories.

Considering the relationship between the original body and her, Ethan stepped outside and closed the door behind him.

“I’m heading out. Do you need something?” “Are you alright?”

Grace Brooks came up to Ethan Brooks and reached out to check on him.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t touch me.”

Ethan dodged instantly.

On one hand, it was too close.

On the other, he wasn’t used to such intimacy.

“Grown up now, don’t like your sister anymore? Or are you just shy?”

Grace Brooks teased with a smile.

Seeing that he was lively, she felt relieved.

But the woman behind Grace Brooks, who was at least 1.75 meters tall and had a heroic air about her, looked a bit surprised.

Ethan’s dodge just now...

She hadn’t even seen it clearly.

Was it because her attention was on Grace Brooks and she hadn’t noticed?

At this moment, Grace Brooks finished joking around and said seriously, “Ethan, you can’t stay here anymore. The fourth brother has gone crazy—he actually dared to hire someone to go after his own family. The bounty he put on you in the underground world has already been accepted, and it’s too late to withdraw it. At this point, the only way to avoid danger is to come back to the The Brooks Family with me as soon as possible.”

“Samuel Brooks? Gone crazy?”

Ethan was a bit surprised.

“He’s not really crazy, but his actions are no different from a madman. In any case, he’s finished. Once you go back, you won’t have to worry about being bullied anymore.”

Grace Brooks didn’t elaborate.

Not hearing any gossip, Ethan didn’t press further, only saying, “I’m not going back to the The Brooks Family. I’m doing just fine right now.”

“Young master, you don’t understand the situation you’re in. If you don’t go back, you’re in great danger.”

At this point, the woman behind Grace Brooks spoke.

Ethan glanced at her.

Lily.

One of the orphans adopted by the The Brooks Family.

The Dayu Kingdom has lasted for 430 years, and ancient families generally have the habit of adopting orphans and raising them carefully.

The The Brooks Family couldn’t compare to those ancient noble families, but it had been rooted in Tiannan for over a hundred years, and there were several adopted orphans like Lily.

“We’ve already identified the group that took the bounty on you. They’re called Black Triangle Star, a gang of four. They’ve committed quite a few crimes in Tiannan, and they’re extremely bold—they’ll take any job, do anything.”

Lily said in a low voice, “According to our information, their vehicle has already entered Yunmeng City. I’m afraid they’ll make a move on you very soon.”

“They’re called Black Triangle Star, but there are four members?”

Ethan asked.

“Yes, three in the open, one in the shadows.”

Lily nodded.

Ethan figured the money on that anonymous bank card was probably a lost cause.

“I see. Then, I’d like to know—how will the The Brooks Family deal with Samuel Brooks, who hired killers to go after me?”

He asked.

This question was clearly not one Lily could answer.

Grace Brooks also looked a bit hesitant.

Ethan wasn’t injured...

So the punishment probably wouldn’t be too severe.

After a moment, she seemed to think of something and said firmly, “Don’t worry, I believe the family court will give you a satisfactory answer.”

“Alright.”

Ethan nodded slightly.

He had originally wanted to say, “If the The Brooks Family doesn’t give me a satisfactory answer, then I’ll give the The Brooks Family an answer myself.”

But he felt it wasn’t necessary.

In the end, he only said, “I’ll be present when the The Brooks Family enforces the family law.”

Seeing that Ethan Brooks finally seemed willing to go home, Grace Brooks’s eyes lit up.

But before she could say anything else, Ethan had already said again, “I have something to do, I’m leaving first.”
