At the moment, he navigated to the largest domestic medicinal herb website—Yangxindian—and purchased, one by one, all the herbs that could stimulate the body and temper the physique.

The total order exceeded ten million.

Soon, Yangxindian called to confirm.

Both parties confirmed the transaction location.

After a flurry of activity, a knock sounded at the door.

Ethan glanced at his phone, stepped forward, and opened the door.

Three figures dressed as cleaners, wearing raincoats and masks, appeared at the doorway.

Ethan stepped aside.

The three entered the house in perfect sync, without a word—two pretended to be corpses, one wiped away bloodstains.

There was no communication throughout the process.

In less than ten minutes, the three finished cleaning, sprayed some cleaning agents to freshen the air, and placed the bodies into a cleaning cart.

There was even an official cleaning company watermark on it.

The three pushed the cart, waiting for the freight elevator.

“Ding.”

The elevator doors opened.

Inside, it was crowded, with five people.

Freight and passenger elevators shared the ride.

Besides Grace Brooks, there were Emily Harris from the Security Bureau, two inspectors, and a martial artist.

As the elevator doors opened, Emily Harris's voice could be heard: “Our Su and Lin families have known each other for decades, and we've known each other for six years now. Grace, since you asked, I will of course do my utmost to root out the Black Triangle Star and ensure Ethan Brooks is not harmed.”

“Haha, Inspector Harris is the ace of our Yunmeng City task force, and with Advisor Sarah Bennett from Zhenwu Sect here, President Brooks should be at ease, right? Our Yunmeng City will never let a single lawbreaker slip by.”

Superintendent Zhao also said with a smile.

“I certainly trust in Inspector Harris and Master Bennett's abilities.”

Grace Brooks said, then turned to the woman in martial attire: “Thank you for your help.”

The woman nodded.

This woman was none other than the junior sister who had recently been seen at William Cooper's side.

The group exited the elevator.

The three cleaners kept their heads down and quickly pushed the cleaning cart into the elevator.

However, their attire soon caught the attention of the sharp-eyed Emily Harris.

“Wait.”

She called out.

Almost simultaneously, a voice came from the end of the corridor.

“What are you doing here?”

“Ethan?”

Grace Brooks called out, then immediately introduced, “I've brought in real professionals for you—Emily Harris, Inspector Harris, graduated top of her class from the Zhongdu Royal Police Academy, has worked for six years, and has apprehended countless criminals.”

After that, she introduced the woman in martial attire: “This is Sarah Bennett, one of the most outstanding disciples of this generation in the Zhenwu Sect, certified as a Level Four martial artist by the National Martial Arts Association. I remember you started practicing martial arts a year ago? If you could learn even a move or two from Master Bennett, your strength would improve by leaps and bounds.” With this introduction, Emily Harris had no choice but to turn her attention to Ethan Brooks.

Taking advantage of the moment, the three cleaners quickly pushed the cart into the elevator.

“Level Four martial artist?”

Ethan nodded to Emily Harris, then turned to Sarah Bennett.

Through the “sensing” secret technique, he could tell that this person had indeed reached the level of tendon and bone refinement.

Judging by her age, she was probably twenty-five or twenty-six.

Such strength was quite impressive in the martial arts community.

“Hello.”

He greeted her simply.

And Sarah Bennett, looking at Ethan...

Her expression was somewhat surprised.

Just now, for a split second, she felt as if she were in a forest, being watched by a terrifying presence.

It was as if the young man before her, who looked just over twenty...

No, the records showed he was only nineteen.

It was as if this mere nineteen-year-old, who should just be a college freshman, could give her the sense of danger of a top predator.

But...

How could that be!

She was a Level Four martial artist certified by the Martial Arts Association. Even as a woman, she could easily defeat ten or more grown men.

A nineteen-year-old boy...

“A member of the Su family?”

Sarah Bennett wondered to herself.

According to the information she had, Charles Brooks had been a womanizer for years, contracted a serious illness, and was not long for this world.

His only legitimate son had committed a string of shocking crimes, with more victims than one could count on one hand.

The reason he hired the Black Triangle Star to deal with Ethan Brooks was because the two of them were the only male heirs of Charles Brooks's line. If Ethan Brooks died, he would be the sole bloodline of Charles Brooks, and the Su family would do everything to protect him.

But...

The plan was exposed.

She agreed to Grace Brooks's request to help her brother with his troubles because she saw potential in Ethan Brooks, making an early investment and paving the way for Zhenwu Sect to connect with the powerful.

With something to gain, she was bound by obligation.

Treating him as the entire Su family, she naturally felt some respect.

“Hello.”

Lost in thought, Sarah Bennett still responded without delay, smiling as she greeted him.

She then said, “If you really are interested in martial arts, I think I can offer you some help.”

“I’m interested in the people of the martial arts world.”

Ethan asked curiously, “In Yunmeng, and even all of Tiannan, just who are the martial artists and grandmasters?”

“Martial artists, grandmasters...”
