Chapter 206
Upon hearing what one of the directors just said to him.
Ethan's calm voice cut through the directors' laughter, silencing the room instantly.
" I thought all of you were just some old greedy men, who are after money, But I didn't realize the five of you could be this pathetic," he said, his tone steady but laced with quiet disdain.
Upon hearing what Ethan just said.
The directors exchanged confused glances before one of them sneered. "What did you just say?"
Ethan met their gaze, his expression unflinching.
"You're doing all this for something you don't even own—not a single percentage of it. It's almost sad, really."
His words hung in the air, the weight of his calm confidence making the directors shift uncomfortably, their smugness momentarily shaken.
For some reason they thought Ethan would be shaking in his pants, but he looks so confident as if nothing was going to happen to him.
At that moment Ethan's gaze remained steady as he continued, his tone unwavering.@@@@
"You've built your entire plan on greed and deceit, willing to rip the lives out of the real owners, even letting an innocent girl die in the process. All for what? Control you don't deserve?"
Upon hearing what Ethan just said.
The senior director's laugh echoed through the warehouse, cold and mocking.
"So," he said, his eyes narrowing as he stepped closer to Ethan, "it seems you're more informed than we thought. Impressive, for someone so young."
Then the other directors smirked, their confidence bolstered by the senior's demeanor.
"But here's the thing," the senior director continued, his tone dripping with condescension. "You knew all this from the beginning, didn't you? Yet, you still went ahead and bought the company."
Immediately one of the other directors chimed in, shaking his head mockingly.
"Your ignorance, Ethan," he sneered, "is what killed you. Not us and I'm going to enjoy you cry for mercy."
"Research? On you?" the senior director sneered.
"What could you possibly do? You're just a kid playing grown-up."
One of the others chimed in, his tone mocking. "I think he's still trying to act tough. It's pathetic, really."
At that moment the senior director waved a hand, his smirk widening. "Enough of this. Kill him. All five of you—beat him to death."
At his command, Immediately five burly men stepped forward, each one cracking their knuckles or flexing, clearly confident in their ability to take Ethan down.
They surrounded him, their grins cruel as they closed in.
But Ethan didn't flinch.
As the first man lunged, Ethan moved with lightning speed, sidestepping and landing a devastating blow to his opponent's jaw.
The man crumpled instantly. The second tried to grab him, but Ethan spun, delivering a sharp kick to his ribs that sent him sprawling.
Without wasting any more time the remaining three attacked together, but it didn't matter. Ethan moved like a storm, every punch, kick, and strike calculated and precise. Within moments, all five were on the ground, groaning in pain or unconscious, their confidence shattered.
At that moment Ethan straightened, his breathing steady, and turned his icy gaze back to the directors, who were now wide-eyed and speechless.
The arrogance they'd shown moments earlier had vanished, replaced by a stunned silence.
At that moment One of the directors, his face twisted with rage and panic, suddenly roared, "Shoot him! Now!"
The order rang out, and one of the armed men didn't hesitate. He raised his gun and fired, the deafening sound of the shot echoing through the warehouse.
But what happened next stunned everyone to their core.
Ethan moved faster than their eyes could follow.
His hand shot up, and with precision and calm that defied belief, he caught the bullet midair. The metallic glint of the round gleamed between his fingers as he held it up for all to see.
Upon seeing what just happened.
The warehouse fell into a shocked silence, the directors frozen in disbelief. Their expressions were a mix of terror and confusion, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed.
