Chapter 279
At that moment the room erupted in chaos as Ethan's words echoed, commanding the attention of every soul present. "I house the King of Cobra power," he declared, his voice like thunder. "Now, what nonsense were you spewing about me?"
The Circle members froze, their disbelief palpable. Murmurs rippled through the room, some expressing fear, others confusion.
At that moment the master of the Circle, visibly rattled but attempting to maintain control, clenched his fists. His calm demeanor was about to shattered.
"Enough of this!" he bellowed, his voice sharp and authoritative.
"You claim you have powers, but let's see if they can withstand this!" With a sharp gesture, he barked an order to the armed men. "Fire! Kill him now!"
Immediately the air filled with the deafening roar of gunfire as bullets sped toward Ethan, tearing through the tense silence.
But just as they were about to reach him, they stopped—suspended in mid-air. Each bullet hovered, shimmering as though caught in an invisible field of energy.
The room fell silent once more, the tension so thick it felt like the walls themselves were holding their breath. The sight was surreal—dozens of bullets floating harmlessly in front of Ethan, gleaming under the dim lights of the room.

However Ethan didn't flinch. His piercing gaze swept over the Circle members and their armed men, his presence suffocating.
"This," he said calmly, gesturing to the frozen bullets, "is what happens when you underestimate me. Now, do you want to test me further, or should I show you the true meaning of power?"
The Circle members exchanged terrified glances, their arrogance evaporating in the face of an unstoppable force. Even the master of the Circle, usually composed, was visibly shaken. Ethan stood tall and unyielding, the suspended bullets a testament to his supremacy.
At that moment Ethan stood unfazed, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with the chaos unfolding around him.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with," he said, his voice low but carrying a weight that made the Circle members freeze in place. Before anyone could respond, the bullets that hung suspended in mid-air reversed course with terrifying speed. In an instant, the men who had fired them fell lifeless, each struck down by their own bullet.
At that moment the master turned to face Ethan, his expression calm yet menacing.
"So, you made it through," he said, his voice deeper and carrying an unnatural echo. "Impressive, but this is where your little crusade ends."
At that moment Ethan's sharp eyes caught the faint flicker of light around the master's hands. There was no denying it—this man wasn't ordinary. A power unlike anything he had encountered seemed to flow through him now, dark and ancient, as though it had been waiting for this moment.
However Ethan tightened his grip on his staff, his expression unreadable.
"It seems I'm not the only one with secrets," he remarked, his voice steady despite the tension in the room. His gaze locked with the master's, and for the first time, Ethan realized that this fight wouldn't be easy, however he's going to win.
At that moment the five members of the Circle emerged from the shadows, each clad in their ceremonial uniforms, their symbols radiating an ominous light. Their movements were synchronized, their presence commanding as if the entire room bent to their will. The air felt heavier, thick with power and tension.
Still Ethan remained unfazed, his grip firm on his staff, his posture relaxed but alert.
At that moment the old master of the Silver family sneered, his voice dripping with malice.
"You're arrogant, Ethan. You have no idea what true power looks like. Whatever tricks you hold, the Circle has mastered them a hundred times over. You're a fool to stand against us."
At that moment Ethan met his gaze, his expression calm but unyielding. With deliberate force, he stamped his staff on the floor once more. Immediately the ground trembled underfoot, the vibrations echoing through the chamber like a pulse.
"I've heard enough," Ethan said, his voice carrying an edge of defiance.
"You say you're ten times more powerful than me? Then prove it. Show me what you're capable of."
The challenge hung in the air for a moment before the Circle moved as one.
Without another words they charged forward, their steps eerily silent despite the speed and force behind them.
