Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 651 - 655

Chapter 651

"Understand," Ethan doesn't talk much and hangs up.

He looked at the urn in Brother Geoff's hand and felt bad in it.

18 Is the number given to him, but his real name is Fred Duffy.

After learning about the family background of Number 18, Ethan further blames himself.

This was not the first time he had experienced something like this. All the faces of his comrades from before and all the people who sacrificed their lives in front of his eyes seemed to one by one appear in front of him.

They had sacrificed themselves but they did not even have the chance to make a name for themselves, because they are people who walk in the dark to make the world a brighter place.

There is no such thing as peaceful days. Everything becomes peaceful simply because someone has taken the unrest in the darkness.

Ethan knew that this road they were going through would definitely lead them to death.

He even knew it was early.

But every time he passed the death of someone else, he would still be sad. But as long as he held this position, then he was not allowed to express sorrow on his face.

"Number 18 says he didn't dare go home for fear of his parents being disappointed, he's afraid others will say he's involved in illegal activities, and says that he'll be a gangster for life. , the type of person who has just eaten together and is waiting to die, the type of person who has no self-esteem or dignity.”.

Brother Geoff gently rubbed his hands into the urn of Number 18 and laughed bitterly. "Everybody always looks down on people like us. They feel that we are all trash, and our lives are a mistake from the beginning."

"But during this period of time, we found our own path and we knew that we could do many things and we could also protect many people."

Brother Geoff's eyes began to glaze over. "They'll protect us in return, they'll trust us and respect us too."

This was how all wolves really felt deep in their hearts.

Before following Ethan, they will only incur the anger of others, be looked down upon, hated and even cursed by others.

But now they are happy to be respected by others, and they also know very well that their shoulders now bear something called responsibility.

They had something they had to protect even if it cost them their lives!

"So Big Boss, don't blame yourself. Number 18 said earlier that being able to follow you was the best thing that happened to her, so even dying was worth it."

Ethan said nothing.

Although he had already told the wolves from the start that choosing this path meant that they would continue to walk in the narrow space between life and death. But when that day comes when the road is completely to death, Ethan is still worried that the wolves may not be able to survive.

Because they were not fighters from the beginning.

But now it seemed like they were men with true courage and lived with honor.

"Let's send Number 18 home."

Hometown number 18 is a farming village three hours drive from Greencliff by car.

It was a very poor village, so for the sake of survival, many children never made it to high school and had to work to share the burden.

Even fewer have the opportunity to go to college and use this education to change their fate.

Number 18, or Fred Duffy, comes from a very poor family. Her mother had lost her sight when she was a child and could not see anything. His entire family relied on his father, Fredrick, as the sole breadwinner.

Although Number 18 was quite good at school, he chose to leave home to the city when he was 15 to share his father's burden.

He has worked hard and done some odd jobs. But because he was considered rude and uneducated, he was always bullied and looked down upon.

Eventually he entered an illegal circle and found his place there. He eventually managed to get enough money to send back home, but ended up suffering gossip and criticism from others for years as a result.

Number 18 did not want his family to suffer because of him, so he had never come back all this time. He just sent almost all the money he had to them every month.

At home number 18.

His father, Fredrick, was helping his wife sit in the yard to enjoy the sunshine.

There was a large bamboo mat on one side where they placed the pumpkin slices they had prepared the day before to dry.

"After you've finished drying the pumpkin, send some to Fred, he always likes to eat it." Mother number 18 sits on a chair. There was a smile on his face even though he seemed to be scolding her. "He hasn't been back in a long time. Did you ask him when he'd be back?"

"She was busy working and might not be able to leave. He'll be back when he has time, why do you keep asking?"

Fredrick only gave him a general answer and did not want to explain further.

His son did not call for more than a month. Some villagers said that his son may have been arrested, but he did not believe it.

Even if his son was poorly educated and could not do much, he was a good child and would never do anything to hurt others!

"Busy at work?" a voice suddenly sounded. "Fredrick, don't lie to your wife again. Everyone in the village knows that your son is involved with those gangsters and they don't care about human lives!"

Chapter 652

"What are you talking about!" Fredrick became angry when he heard this and turned to see the man walking towards him. "My son won't do anything bad! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hoho, I'm not saying shit. Someone went to Greencliff and met Fred. Apparently he was following some Big Boss, so if he didn't do anything bad, then what did he do?"

"I told you, the reputation of our village has been damaged by your son!"

"You...You are! Quiet now!"

The men walked into the compound with faces of disdain as they snorted and looked at Fredrick and his wife.

"Sure, we'll shut up. I'm pretty sure Fred must have gone to jail. Trash like him will be cleared sooner or later.dead you."

They kept saying these bad things no matter how Fredrick and his wife were so angry that their eyes turned red.

The men walked over and took the dried pumpkin pieces in the sun and put them in their mouths.

"Don't touch that! That's for my son!" Fredrick immediately shouted at them.

The leader of the man scoffed coldly and spat out the gourd back. "Do you think I really like eating this food? You think I actually came here to visit you?"

"If it wasn't for the land on which your house sits, there would be no way I'd come to this slum!"

He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "So? Have you thought about it carefully? What's the point of keeping this old place? Be nice and listen to us, take the money and put yourself in the old man's house for the rest of your life."

"Fred won't live long enough to take care of you two in old age!"

Fredrick was so angry that his body trembled.

He knew that there were land developers who wanted to buy this piece of land to turn it into some sort of holiday resort and his house was on the land they wanted. That's why these people keep coming every two or three days to get him to sell his house.

"Dream!" Fredrick shouted loudly and glared at them fiercely. "This house is for my son, you can forget about taking it from me!"

"out! Out now!"

"Old man, you can't always have a cake and eat it!" shouted the male leader loudly. He reached out and flipped over all the freshly dried pumpkin slices.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" Fredrick's wife heard the voices and immediately became anxious. He leaned over and started picking up the pumpkin slices on the ground. His eyes immediately turned red. "Why are you bluffing us?"

He carefully cooked these dried pumpkin slices and cut them well with great difficulty so that his son could eat them.

How could they cancel it like that?

Fredrick was even more furious. He could stand it no longer and ran to push those people away. "Missed! Lost now!"

Men lose patience. They had come a few times but Fredrick always refused. They are polite by offering a good price. But Fredrick paid no heed to it and insisted on maintaining this old and rundown house.

One of the men kicked Fredrick and he fell to the ground. He said viciously, "You still want to defend this land? Dream on!"

"I tell you, even if you don't give this land to us, you can forget about defending it!"

"Your son will die sooner or later, so why keep it? Don't think you can keep good things to yourself!"

The men came and surrounded Fredrick. They started beating him and Fredrick started screaming in pain.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Fredrick's wife started yelling, "Someone! Somebody! Please help!"

Neighbors heard the commotion and came. But the leader of the people shouted at them loudly, took his staff from the ground and pointed it at the neighbors.

"Who would dare to come? I'm gonna break his leg!" he shouted loudly. The neighbors were terrified and stopped right where they were. They did not dare to offend these people.

When he saw them frightened, he laughed coldly and looked at them with disdain, "Junk!"

He looked at Fredrick and spat with disdain, "You know, your son is doing the same thing as me. People like me will die sooner or later, so your son will suffer the same fate."

"But I'm calling shots around here, so even if your son comes back, he'll have to kneel in front of me, lick my shoes clean and call me Boss!"

Fredrick trembled not only because of his pain, but more because of his anger.

He refused to let anyone say such things about his son!

"Submit it to destiny! Why refuse money? Take the money and leave, otherwise, I guarantee your son will never come back!"

"Damn it, say it again!"

A voice like the sound of thunder suddenly sounded.

Brother Geoff's eyes spewed out flames and were almost enough to burn these people alive.

Chapter 653

Brother Geoff never thought that the Number 18 family would be bullied by anyone else.

He saw the bad guys to the Number 18 old man and he instantly became angry.

He gave the urn to Ethan and ran like a ferocious tiger. The murder in his eyes was boiling.

"Who are you...AHH!!"

The leader of those people flew in before he even finished his sentence.

His lower jaw is sprained.

He fell on the ground with a howl and there was blood everywhere.

"God..."

"How dare you! Kill her!"

The other men were very angry. No one had ever dared to hit them before. When they saw that Brother Geoff dared to make a move, they took their bats off the ground and rushed towards Brother Geoff without restraint.

The bats fell hard and Brother Geoff did not even dodge. He raised his hand and blocked the bat with his arm.

The bat broke in two with a loud cracking sound!

The man holding the beater felt his heart tremble. He looked into Brother Geoff's eyes that were lethal enough to kill him and immediately felt terror strike his heart.

Who are these people?

Brother Geoff did not even bother to talk to him and sent him flying with a punch.

He roared like a leopard that had gone mad. He swung his fist a few times and made everyone fall to the ground.

If he could, he would instantly smash their heads.

Those people howled on the ground and looked at Brother Geoff and the others with fear.

They don't know who these people are. They actually dared to hit them.

"You.you..." Fredrick got up from the ground and saw the urn in Ethan's hand. He had a bad premonition and his lips trembled as his tears began to fall.

Ethan walked over and gave the urn to Fredrick with both hands. He was about to say something when Mother Number 18 got up and suddenly spoke up.

His face was filled with anticipation, but it was also filled with worry. He was afraid it wasn't his son.

Fredrick's tears couldn't stop his tears. He was a man in his fifties but his face was covered in tears.

He would answer when Ethan shook his head. He took a step forward and held the hands of Mother Number 18 while imitating the way Number 18 spoke, "Mom, I'm home."

At that moment, everyone felt tears flowing from their eyes.

"Fred! That's my son's voice!"

Mother number 18 was so happy that she started crying. He holds Ethan's hand tightly, as if his son will disappear if he lets go.

Ethan turned around and glanced at Brother Geoff and Brother Geoff received the message. They went to those people, covered their mouths and dragged them out.

"UGGGH..."

"You ... you ..."

Fredrick looked at Ethan while holding the urn Number 18 with both hands. His body trembled very badly but he still moved his lips to say thank you without making a sound.

"You bad boy, why haven't you been home for so long? Do you know how worried I am?" Mother number 18 cried while laughing. "And you brought some friends?"

"That's right, they're my good brothers and they sent me home." Ethan holds the hands of Mother Number 18 and says, "Mom, I'll help you get into the house."

"Old man! Don't just stand there! You've been waiting for Fred to come home every day, but now that he's home, you didn't say a word? Go and cook! We have guests!"

"Hello Auntie!" Number 5 and the rest with him greeted him in unison.

"Geez! Just make yourself at home, no need to be polite!"

Chapter 654

Fredrick really wanted to cry out loud but couldn't because he didn't want his wife to know.

The neighbors watched and realized what was going on. They didn't expect things to end this way.

They know that Ethan and his men don't want Number 18's mother to be sad, so they all quietly leave without saying anything.

Inside the house, Mother Number 18 continues to want to get water for Ethan and get snacks for him, but Ethan stops her and tells her to just sit down and she will.

"Mom, don't worry about me, I'm fine out there. How's your health?" ask Ethan for worry.

"I'm fine, I just miss you" the Number 18 mother said with a smile. "I made you dried pumpkin slices because you like them so much!"

"They're outside, I'll get them for you!"

"Mom, sit here, I'll take it myself."

Ethan refuses to let her get up and she walks out of the house.

Number 5 was entertaining Fredrick outside.

Ethan walked over and he had a serious expression on his face.

"Uncle, Fred's with me. His departure was my fault, I didn't protect him well."

Number 5 opens his mouth to tell Ethan not to blame himself. They had chosen this path and chosen to protect Greencliff. They made this choice themselves. Ethan had taught them so much, so that was more than enough.

Ethan waved his hand and did not let Number 5 speak.

"Fred didn't embarrass you at all. He's a Greencliff hero and everyone loves him and respects him. Many children even idolize it."

Fredrick could not say anything. He nodded as he gently stroked the urn in his hand and his body trembled violently.

"Number 5, send Uncle home."

"okay!"

Ethan walks out of the compound. Brother Geoff and a few others stepped on the people who had come to make trouble.

"You..you know who I am?! If you dare to touch me here, you'll die!"

Ethan grabs his collar and slaps him hard enough that two of his teeth fly out.

"You even dare bully two old men?" ethan said coldly. His gaze alone made all of them shiver in fear. It was as if they had fallen into an ice abyss.

"Who ... Who are you?" The leader of those people still had blood in his mouth as he barely let out his words. "My boss is Larry Sutton! He's shooting in this area! Do you know what the consequences of offending him are?!"

The only answer he got was another slap from Ethan. This slap actually broke his jaw.

"He was shooting? I shot not only at Greencliff but across Riverport!"

"Tell your boss to come and see me in the next 30 minutes. If he was late for even a second, not even the gods could save him!"

Ethan no longer said. "Which hand and foot did they use to beat Uncle? Destroy them!"

He didn't care about them after that.

The next thing he heard was a terrible howl of pain.

They sound like pigs in a slaughterhouse.

…

Meanwhile, the,

At the real estate company's office in Park Creek.

The office is on a high floor and covers more than 2,000 square feet of space. One side has an indoor hot spring so one can work and relax at the same time.

A bald man was soaking in a hot spring with a woman coiling around him. He laughed cheerfully in his arms.

"Once I get this project, it will be a profit of several billion!" Larry Sutton's face was haughty. "Darling, do you know how big this retirement village is?"

"I don't know, I just know that you ... are huge! Very big!"

His eyes looked flirtatious to her and his hands began to touch her entire body.

Larry took a deep breath and quickly stopped the woman's hand. If this continued, he could forget about doing anything else for the rest of the day. He has to control himself.

"Time for a break!" said quickly. "After the bath, I need a short break. I'm getting old."

The woman laughed more cheerfully.

"Mr Sutton, that piece of land really isn't bad. I went to see him too. The view is good and the air is beautiful. If you develop that area, you will definitely attract a lot of people to it. It will soon make you money!"

"But the villagers don't seem to want to move, do they?"

Larry mocked, "I've been very kind to them and offered them a reasonable price. In the past, it was impossible for them to earn a single cent!"

"I have to get that piece of land, no matter what it takes!"

Chapter 655

For Larry Sutton, it wasn't bad if the villagers got the money. He did not want to attract too much unnecessary attention, otherwise, if he used his old methods…

Do the villagers dare to ask for money?

They may not even live to ask for anything.

Larry survives to this day not because he's generous. He had started his career in real estate more than ten years ago and at the time, his industry was very shady. If you are not cruel or fierce enough, you can forget about making money.

Even though things had changed and he was holding back a little, there were still some old methods that helped him achieve his goal.

The phone starts ringing. Larry saw who was calling and immediately laughed.

"I think I've pulled out the last thorn."

He picked up the phone and said calmly, "How is it? The two old men agreed, didn't they? If they knew what to do, they would have to take the money and find an old man's house and stop standing in the park.

"Mr Sutton! Something has happened!" The voice at the other end did not say what he expected. "The people I sent were all beaten up, apparently the old couple's son is back!"

Larry's expression changed.

"What did you say?"

"Their son is Fred Duffy, apparently he was involved in an illegal circle and he was so vicious, he beat up all my men! Moreover, he said that you should see him in the next 30 minutes, otherwise, even the gods cannot save you. !"

Larry laughed loudly in great disdain for these words.

See him in 30 minutes?

And the gods won't be able to save him?

What joke!

Fred this is just a kid who's involved in an illegal circle and he thinks he's a great guy?

Does he think that Larry has never spent time in illegal circles before? He was there even before Fred was born!

"They want to have a cake and eat it too, yeah!" Larry was angry. "It's a small matter and you bother to call me? Since they are uncooperative, then you can deal with them for me!"

"Mr Sutton..."

"If you can't do it, I'll find someone else!"

Larry hung up the phone.

There was nothing he had never seen before. What if someone threatens him? Moreover, this threat came from this little seed. What joke! He even dared to threaten someone like Larry?

He must be tired of living!

"Mr Sutton, you are so domineering! You are amazing!"

The woman shook her body from side to side, causing the water to move. The movement rubbed against Larry and he found it hard to control himself.

"These "useless things! When I was young, I used to break ten legs of such a person in one day!"

Larry pulled the woman into his arms. "Because the soft way doesn't work, then we have to go the hard way! If they don't even understand this, how do they expect to earn money?"

He cannot be bothered with this matter. It's just a small matter that is nothing to worry about.

On the other hand, a large man with a scar on his face put down the phone. His eyelids twitched a little.

If this deal doesn't work out, he'll also be ruined.

He looked at the people lying on the floor after Brother Geoff broke their limbs. "How many of them?"

"That's just three or four!"

"You useless things!" roar the man with the scar. "Only three or four men and you're so scared?! I thought you were talking about 300 or 400 men!"

They really embarrassed him in front of Larry. He really wanted to slap these people.

"Brother Dale! They're really scary!"

They all gulped and trembled. Ethan in particular, was already terrifying without being angry. The way he looked at them already made their hearts almost jump out of their mouths.

"In this line, if you're only afraid of three or four men, then why bother staying here ?!" the man with the scar roared furiously. "If you can't even solve this problem properly, then we can forget about making money!"

He got up and sneered. "Take the bulldozer! We'll tear down their homes and compensate them later. We'd just say it was an accident. I'll see what they can do about it!"

"And as for those who beat you, I will break their legs!"
