“It’s fine to show off and act tough in front of women, but it depends on who you’re dealing with. Sometimes, the thing you’re relying on might be tougher than you are.” Ethan Carter placed a hand on the other person’s shoulder and gently pushed to the side. Green Turtle’s center of gravity immediately shifted in the direction of Ethan Carter’s force, and in an instant, he was sprawled over the computer screen, clearing a path for Ethan Carter.
Dragon Lady, who had also stood up, saw Green Turtle lose his balance and fall onto the computer screen. She casually grabbed the ashtray Green Turtle had been using and smashed it onto Green Turtle’s head.
The thick glass ashtray, upon contact with Green Turtle’s head, caused red liquid to flow from inside his head, running down his cheek.
Ethan Carter, who had left his seat, saw Green Turtle bleeding from his injury, swallowed hard, and muttered quietly to himself, “What a waste! Such a waste. Even if it’s scum’s blood, it’s still fresh blood after all.” After saying this, he shook his head helplessly and walked out of the internet café.
Seeing Green Turtle bleeding from her blow, Dragon Lady dropped the ashtray in her hand and quickly ran out after Ethan Carter.
Dazed from the ashtray blow, Green Turtle got to his feet, shook his head hard, looked around blankly, and shouted at the girl disappearing through the door, “Stop! You little brat! How dare you treat me like this!”
Green Turtle staggered after them, still holding the ashtray that had just been used to hit him.
“You two, stop right there!” Green Turtle, having chased them out the door, held the ashtray in his hand and started after Ethan Carter and Dragon Lady, quickly closing the distance and reaching out to grab Dragon Lady’s hair.
Dragon Lady dodged in a panic, but her hair was still caught by Green Turtle. With a hard yank, the headful of red hair was pulled off in an instant, revealing Dragon Lady’s long, beautiful hair, which swung through the air and even made the well-experienced-with-beauties Ethan Carter freeze in surprise.
Green Turtle raised his foot to kick Dragon Lady in the stomach, but a cold gun was pressed against Green Turtle’s forehead.
Two men in black suits stood beside Green Turtle, one of them pressing a pistol to Green Turtle’s forehead.
“Hey man, let’s talk this out. This is the Han Nation, not America.” With the gun pressed to his head, Green Turtle immediately calmed down, raised his hands above his head, and spoke quietly.
“This is the Han Nation, but it’s also the red-light district.” The man in black said coldly, “Get lost!”
In the underworld, the one with the biggest fists is the boss, and whoever has the gun is the real boss.
Under the gun’s muzzle, Green Turtle glanced at the man in black, as if saying with his eyes: “Just you wait.” Then he immediately turned and walked off in another direction, picking up speed until he quickly disappeared from sight.
The other man in black walked over to Dragon Lady, bowed, and said, “Miss, please come home with us. It’s too chaotic out here.”
Dragon Lady glanced at the two men in black and said, “What’s the point of going back? Grandpa works every day and never spends time with me. The other relatives all see me as a thorn in their side…” As she spoke, crystal tears shimmered in Dragon Lady’s eyes.
‘It seems…the look in the eyes of the person who broke my seal two years ago was just like this…’ Seeing Dragon Lady’s eyes, Ethan Carter’s thoughts instantly flew back to two years ago, to that female tomb raider who had accidentally broken his seal, and the scene when he desperately needed blood.
“Let go of me! I’m not going back!” Dragon Lady stubbornly tried to shake off the man in black’s hand, but couldn’t break free.
Ethan Carter shook his head hard, turned, and walked off in another direction, telling himself: There are so many people in the world with similar looks in their eyes, better not to get involved.
“Miss, I’m sorry. This is the master’s order.” The man in black, unmoved, pulled Dragon Lady toward a Volvo sedan parked not far away.
“Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go of me!” Dragon Lady kept struggling, but the passersby around acted as if they hadn’t seen anything and went about their business.
Just as he was about to leave, Ethan Carter stopped in his tracks, turned to look at the struggling Dragon Lady, and muttered to himself, “Even the tone of her voice is so similar.” Unconsciously, he walked forward and grabbed the man in black’s wrist.
The man in black whose wrist was grabbed by Ethan Carter immediately felt a sharp pain, his strength drained from his hand, and he involuntarily let go of Dragon Lady.
“Let go!” The other man in black, who had just subdued Green Turtle, pressed his gun to the back of Ethan Carter’s head and said coldly.
“OK.” Ethan Carter slowly raised his hands, and in the instant everyone let their guard down, he suddenly turned, grabbed the man in black’s pistol, and with another finger quickly jabbed the man’s armpit.
In an instant, the man in black’s gun arm went completely numb, unable to muster any strength to pull the trigger, and the gun naturally fell into Ethan Carter’s hand.
