Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 686 - 690
Chapter 686
The two men staggered backwards.
Ivan staggered back five or six steps. His legs were numb and he tried hard not to move anymore. The masked man only took one step back and did not even stop before coming to Ivan again.
The wind created by his punch howled like a tiger down a mountain.
The explosion in the air sounded loud like a ferocious tiger opening its mouth wide and pouncing towards Ivan.
"Mr Tanner!"
Irving and the others paled and wanted to run, but they soon realized that there was no way they could do anything.
Given the skill level of their opponents, ordinary grandmasters like those who had never really killed anyone before could not interfere at all.
Ivan and the masked man engage in a fierce battle. The sound of fists and feet colliding with each other is loud enough to make a person nearly deaf.
"AHH!!" Suddenly, Ivan did not react quickly enough and a punch landed on his chest. He flew like a kite with a broken rope and fell hard to the floor.
He's old anyway.
"Mr Tanner!" Irving and the others immediately ran forward to protect Ivan. They looked warily at the masked man and shouted, "Stop him!"
Ivan sprayed blood everywhere and his beard was dyed red. His face immediately paled and he coughed loudly.
He may have broken two of his ribs.
It's really scary.
If there was no one to hold back such a person and unite them all, then there was no way anyone could stop them from doing what they wanted.
Ivan thought that if he went all out and killed this masked man, then at least he would kill one of them and his death would not be in vain.
But unfortunately, he is old.
He's really old now.
The Tanner family is devastated.
Iwan took a deep breath. His face was filled with anger and rage, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"You all want to try and stop me at your level?" the masked man growled coldly as he continued to stare at Ivan. "From today onwards, the Springing Leg technique will disappear from this world!"
He ran across and was as strong as a dragon.
He immediately sent Irving and the others flying out as he walked towards Ivan.
He knew that as long as he killed Ivan, the whole family would collapse by itself.
"Stop him!" Irving was bleeding from his mouth and his eyes were glaring. He had several broken ribs but was still trying to rush to save Ivan, but he was not on time.
"NO!"
"NO!!"
None of them could stop the masked man. They had to watch the masked man walk up to Ivan.
As soon as the blow came down, Ivan would definitely die.
But Ivan's eyes suddenly sparkled. He shouted, "Aren't you going to fight him ?!"
A rock came flying like a missile.
The masked man's expression changed as the stone grazed his face and scratched his mask.
His eyes narrowed loudly as he turned to look at the figure standing at the door.
"Nobody can save you today!" he shouted as he started another attack towards Ivan.
"Oh really?" the man at the door also scoffed and only uttered these two words, but each word sounded closer to the masked man than the last.
In an instant, he was next to the masked man!
The masked man's eyes suddenly shot out.
He turned around and saw two more stones flying towards him.
He dodged with all the strength he had and the stones landed on the wooden pillars on either side of him. The stones instantly turned into powder, but the impact had created two terrifying-looking cracks on the pillar.
The masked man was about to make another attack but there was someone standing in front of Ivan.
Ethan!
"At least you came in time," Ivan closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. For some reason, when Ethan shows up, his heart feels at ease.
He had an overwhelming feeling of relief, as if he had survived a terrible ordeal.
As if as long as Ethan existed, he wouldn't die.
"Who are you?"
The masked man glared at Ethan, but Ethan stared at the man's neck. It was a red cloud tattoo!
"You can't take his life."
The air around Ethan is starting to change. He was now like a wild dragon, filled with ferocity and violence.
"And that's because I said so!"
Ethan immediately moved after saying that.
The stone tiles on the floor cracked into pieces with a hard BANG!
He's so fast!
Chapter 687
Irving and the rest of the family were instantly frightened. They can't even see exactly what Ethan is doing. They only saw a shadow that flashed and Ethan was already in front of the masked man.
One punch came out and sent several explosions into the air.
Even Ivan could not help but widen his eyes.
He knows Ethan is powerful beyond his imagination, but this blow still makes his heart beat.
The masked man did not dare to lower his guard. Ethan's own speed tells him that this young man is unusual.
He threw a punch as well, and it was as frightening as a ferocious tiger emerging from the mountains.
The two fists hit each other hard. The masked man's gaze immediately changed.
"Imust be!"
He took a few steps back, but Ethan did not stop and threw another punch.
Another blow! And another blow!
It was as if Ethan had unlimited strength and did not feel tired. Members of the Tanner family could feel all their hair standing up as they watched.
This guy is really a very skilled fighter!
This kind of fist technique was truly shocking.
The entire courtyard was filled with explosions from fists slamming into each other, and its voice was deafening.
The masked man's facial sharpness became even more evil as he continued to move backwards. He had no chance to retaliate at all. Trying to defend against Ethan's attacks alone is hard enough.
Punch after punch landed on his body. The face under the mask was already all red and his blood was boiling.
Ethan sends out another series of punches. He dealt nine punches in a row, with each punch more domineering and harder than the last!
At that moment, he put his fist away and stood in place. The wind howling from his punch instantly came to a halt.
He stood there and looked at the masked man with a cold look. "Aren't you looking for me all this time?"
The masked man shuddered when he heard this.
"Ra..king Greencliff!"
As he said this, the mask on his face shattered and fell to the floor.
His already broken face was terrifying, and there was nothing but fear and shock in his hoarse voice. "That's you! It's actually you!"
As he spoke, blood flowed out from his mouth. His lips twitched and before he finished speaking, his mouth suddenly opened wide. A large mouthful of black-colored blood came out along with some flaccid parts.
"Your fist ... your punch ..."
He points a finger at Ethan and his speech is vague. Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the floor with a thud and died.
The air is still deadly.
Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes and open mouths. They did not believe what they had just witnessed.
Even though this happened right in front of them.
Ethan in front of them this is the man they apologized to and wanted to kill?
If the Tanners really went to Greencliff back then, they would have been wiped out by now.
The eight people in charge suddenly felt extremely cold all over the body and they were overwhelmed with fear of what might happen.
This masked man was already strong enough to exterminate the Tanner family!
But Ethan came out and only took nine punches to kill this powerful man. Ethan's ability is.very scary beyond belief!
Now they completely understand why Ivan reminds them to never fight Ethan.
"If you come a second later, the Tanner family will be done." Ivan got up and his face was still pale. He glanced at the masked man's frightening face and said, "I know who he is."
He's pretty upset.
He looked around at all the members of his family who had died. They represent the future of the Tanner family.
But after going through this, maybe they will finally understand what really matters.
Ethan glanced at Ivan and walked over to the masked man. He examined the corpse and made sure that the red cloud tattoo on his neck was the same as the one he was looking for. These people slowly came to the surface.
They also cannot sit still.
"Clean the place," Ivan coughed twice and wiped the blood in his mouth. "Ethan, come with me."
Ethan follows Ivan to the ancestral hall.
"He is the 24th generation of the Shape-Will Fist school, Ares Fleming," Ivan sat down and took a slow breath. His face was still very pale. "I thought he was dead."
Ethan's eyes narrowed. Is this the man Ivan talked about last time? Grandmaster Shape-Will Fist who died a few years ago?
He's not dead?
"I can't believe he actually faked his death" Ivan sighed. "After you spoke to me that day, I couldn't believe it, as he was the only remaining Shape-Will Fist grandmaster. If he was dead, then who could teach this technique to others?"
"So I asked someone to visit his old house, and I .. really didn't expect this."
After the person he sent died, Ivan knew that things were getting very complicated now.
It's not just Ethan's problem. This was a matter involving the entire martial arts world!
Chapter 688
"Why did he fake his death?" Ethan looked at Ivan. "Do you know?"
"Hidden Sect" replied Ivan. "He must have joined the Hidden Sect."
Hidden Sect?
Ethan frowned a little. This was the first time he had heard of this. What is the Hidden Sect? And what does it mean to join?
He only knew that all of these people had red cloud tattoos on their necks.
So it seemed like the Hidden Sect was the real name of their group!
"What's that?"
"That's a bunch of crazy people!" Ivan's eyes continued to widen. His voice trembled and sounded angry and a little scared.
He had lived for so many years and he had never thought that a group like this could exist. And he was even more horrified that someone he knew actually joined the Hidden Sect and became one of those lunatics.
"They are pursuing power. They pursue power blindly, they continue to work to become stronger fighters, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!"
"Initially they fought alone and they were scattered everywhere. But now it looks like someone has brought them together and this.it's scary."
Ivan's lips trembled and gripped the armrest of the chair tightly. He turned to look at Ethan. "This is really terrible news."
Ivan's expression was filled with worry. At this age, almost nothing could make him feel afraid anymore.
But he could not hide the sadness in his eyes when it came to the Hidden Sect.
Ivan coughed twice and more blood came out of his mouth.
Ethan was about to speak when Ivan waved his hand, "I'm fine, this small wound won't kill me."
Ivan refuses to admit that he is getting older even though he is really old. Breaking a few bones meant nothing to him.
He looked at Ethan and began to greatly admire this man in his heart.
That was because what Ethan was going to face was actually the Hidden Sect! Those crazy people aren't easy to deal with.
"I don't know how many people are in the Hidden Sect," Ivan continued. "There may be only three, which you kill, or there may be more ..."
"Hidden Sects are a choice. It is an option to hide one's human side and fall into the dark side. This was a matter of human nature, and it had nothing to do with anything else," he sighed and shook his head. "It's a problem, really a problem."
It was not really considered a secret in the martial arts world. The previous generation of martial artists knew about this.
But in the past, when one was known to join the Hidden Sect, that person's sect or school of origin would get rid of him before anyone else did.
But now the martial arts world had fallen, and it was even difficult to ensure they had disciples to pass on their skills, so who would clear these people?
The worry on Ivan's face grew and he began to look pessimistic.
He looked at Ethan. His mouth was half open because he wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.
"With me around, I will get rid of all these troublemakers." Ethan's words were simple, but his voice was firm. "I will not allow anyone to disrupt the social fabric of any part of society. No one is allowed."
"You .." Ivan's lips quivered. "Looky! That's incredible!"
He had never seen a young man like Ethan who possessed this kind of ability and mindset! And such a strong sense of responsibility!
"If you need the Tanner family anytime, let me know."
Ethan nodded.
After finding out about the Hidden Sect, Ethan was increasingly convinced that his decision was correct. His plans to the north slowly affected the benefits some people enjoyed, so some people are getting annoyed now.
And now three men with red cloud tattoos appeared one after another.
They all belonged to the Hidden Sect, but who controlled the Hidden Sect?
"Just be yourself." Ethan doesn't talk much. He said a few words of concern and left.
He has to move faster. He had to use the Palmer Group to attack the legal business of a powerful family in the north, and he would take care of the illegal circle himself.
Chapter 689
Ethan walks out of the ancestral hall and the rest of the family is still standing there.
"Why, do you still expect to keep me here?" ethan asked with a smile.
Irving and the whole family said nothing. They immediately knelt down with a thud and prostrated themselves three times to him respectfully.
"Thank you very much!"
If Ethan doesn't arrive on time, the Tanners will be wiped out.
Not only will Ivan die, but none of them will survive. There would be no one to pass down the Twelve Feet of Routines and this entire school would be lost to history forever.
And they actually wanted to make trouble for Ethan and kill him back then!
What a terrible joke.
"Protect your Mr. Tanner," Ethan receives a kowtow. "I still need you all in the future, so work hard to live well."
After that, Ethan leaves.
The expressions on the surviving members were different from before.
After they had a near-death experience and their family was almost wiped out, they began to realize how heavy the responsibility was on their shoulders.
If Ivan could ignore his life even though he was old, then the younger generation would definitely not be able to dodge.
……
Ethan's back at Greencliff.
Shawn was making tea at the Palmer family's bungalow door.
With him around, the Palmer family bungalow was the safest place.
Shawn looked up and grunted softly as he saw Ethan was back. Even though he was enjoying himself here, he was still unhappy inside.
Ethan is not his son-in-law, so why should his own daughter listen to Ethan?
Ethan walks over, picks up the teapot, pours himself a cup and drinks it all at once.
"Do you know anything about the Hidden Sect?"
Ethan's first question leads Shawn to swallow everything he wants to say. His gaze instantly became sharp.
"How do you know about the Hidden Sect?"
"I just got back from Tanner's house in the northern mountains" Ethan replied. "The Tanner family was almost exterminated by someone from the Hidden Sect. It was the 24th generation of the Shape-Will Fist school, Ares Fleming!"
"Imust be!" Shawn immediately denied it. "He's been dead a long time!"
His expression suddenly changed. Ethan can't possibly lie, and Ivan of the Tanner family knows Ares personally, so he can't be wrong.
"He faked his death?"
Ethan nodded.
Shawn fell silent.
He poured two cups of tea and drank it before looking back at Ethan seriously.
"What kind of person have you hurt?"
"They were the ones who offended me."
Shawn was silent again. He just stared straight at Ethan and didn't know what to say.
After living in Greencliff for a few days, he understood what the 'forbidden territory' label really meant.
Simply put, it is a paradise, a real home for the most ordinary people in society.
There is no unwanted pressure and no exploitation. Instead, everyone is united. Both legal and illegal circles do everything they can to protect ordinary people and treat them as the most important people to protect.
How many people are willing to sacrifice themselves for ordinary people?
Maybe only Ethan would, and only Greencliff would!
Ethan will do something that destroys the earth. He's going to change the world!
"You killed Ares?" Shawn felt like he had asked a stupid question. "But he might not be the only person who chose to join the Hidden Sect. If he could fake his death for so many years, then what about the others? And there are many more like me, who have been hiding in the city for years. It is almost impossible to find them, if they..”.
He did not dare to continue. What if they all chose to join the Hidden Sect?
"I will kill whoever comes" Ethan said calmly. "I'll kill no matter how many come!"
Chapter 690
The deadly cold air made the hot tea instantly turn cold.
"They were supposed to be cleaned by their sects and schools, but now, I will."
Shawn sighed again.
"Those who joined the Hidden Sect were all extremists. They have no moral limits and they are inhuman, because they only care about what they want to achieve. Do you know what this means?"
Ethan shook his head.
"This meant that there was a big hand behind the Hidden Sect that controlled everyone in the sect. That person must be extremely strong, and must be strong enough to shock and terrorize this group of lunatics!"
That is, these lunatics would only give up on someone stronger than them.
"That person's ability might not be weaker than yours. In fact, he might be stronger than you!"
Shawn's expression was grim. He's never looked so serious before.
The more one knew about the Hidden Sect, the more fear he would feel.
"He'll definitely kill you!"
These extremists have no moral limits!
They are completely inhuman!
They are only chasing what they want. They can want absolute status, wealth, position or power. No one can stop them. Anyone who tries will be killed.
They were cruel, cruel and did not care about anything.
Even if someone as strong as Ethan appeared, as long as he blocked them, they would definitely attack him without hesitation.
Shawn's expression was very serious. The things he knew about the Hidden Sect made him keep his distance from all these people. But Ethan's gonna hunt them down.
He doesn't know whether to say that Ethan is brave or has a death wish.
But Ethan calmed down and laughed.
"If they come looking for me, I won't be afraid" he said calmly. "What I'm more worried about is that the person controlling them all probably has another goal in mind, and someone who can actually hold it in. That would be so scary."
A straightforward person is easy to deal with. The hard ones are those who are good at making plans, those who are evil, vicious and cunning.
"But it doesn't matter. Whoever they are, I'll find them and get rid of them all!"
Ethan got up and his face did not look worried at all. He is so calm that Shawn begins to wonder if Ethan understands what the implications of the Hidden Sect are.
"I haven't seen Diane in days, I miss her so much" Ethan murmured. He quickly walked into the house and did not look the slightest bit worried.
Shawn could only shake his head.
"I'm so glad she's not MY daughter-in-law."
Victoria is cooking in the kitchen with April.
Victoria lost her mother at a young age, so April felt her heart set on her and treated her like her own daughter. The two of them talked about cooking for the past few days and Diane was almost completely ignored.
April runs out when she hears Ethan is at home.
"Ethan! You're finally back," April's face was filled with smiles. "Recently Diane was disobedient and I couldn't make her listen to me. You better help me deal with it!"
"Yes, Mom!"
Ethan smiled and ran up the stairs.
Dian's in the room. He placed his hand under his chin and was thinking about the next move of the Palmer Group.
Suddenly two hands hugged her from behind and she almost cried out in fear.
"Don't move! Let your husband use you for a while!"
Diane's face immediately flushed red upon hearing Ethan's voice in her ear.
He glanced back and was happy that the door of the room was closed.
"Hubby ..." Diane turned around and there was an expression of longing on her face. "You're back."
"Shut up."
Ethan bends over and kisses Diane's lips.
They kissed for five minutes until Diane's red face reached her neck.
He feels like he's on fire!
No matter what Ethan wanted to do now, he would not refuse it anymore…
