Chapter 2237
Ethan stared at Mr Cedric, who was standing in the distance, then kicked Brother Geoff lightly in the leg. “Get your butt to your woman. You shouldn’t let her cry. She’s frightening me.”
Brother Geoff burst out into laughter.
Number Six and Number Eight rushed over and helped Brother Geoff to the back of the line.
Jenny threw herself on him.
“Are you alright?”
“Of course.” Brother Geoff flashed his teeth at her. He was incredibly moved by her concern. “My Big Boss isn’t going to let me die. You wouldn’t bear to let me die too, would you?”
“Of course not!” Jenny wrapped her arms tightly around Brother Geoff as tears streamed down her cheeks. She had been terrified. “Of course not! You’re going to come to my house tomorrow and ask for my hand in marriage.”
“You’re still schooling. Aren’t you still in college?”
“I don’t care. You’re going to come to my house tomorrow, you hear me?” Jenny said fiercely.
“Alright, alright. I’ll be there,” grinned Brother Geoff.
While these two lovebirds were whispering lovingly to each other, the situation remained tense.
There were still a few human bombs charging at the Palmer family bungalow.
Ethan stood before them like a mountain that was going to stop everything in his path.
“I heard you’re going to be a father, so I brought you a gift.” Mr Cedric eyed Ethan, then smiled. “Don’t you want it?”
Ethan stared at him with a murderous look on his face.
“Do you wish to die?” he asked frostily.
“Of course, but no one seems to be able to kill me,” sighed Mr Cedric as he shook his head. “There’s nothing I can do about it.”
He let loose a strange laugh.
“Do you like the gifts that I brought you? Your baby’s probably going to like them a lot better than you do!”
Ethan didn’t say a word.
“You can’t stop them,” said Mr Cedric. “This is a dangerous world. You’re right. But I find that I’m beginning to like it. That’s because I can control these men, but you can’t.”
Mr Cedric laughed out loud as he watched the human bombs gradually approach the Palmer family bungalow.
His ear twitched suddenly.
“He’s fast,” he said, before scoffing. “Charge!”
As soon as he said that, the human bombs rushed at the Palmer family bungalow like men gone mad. Ethan was but one man. He couldn’t possibly stop them all in time.
A loud and sharp sound cracked the air.
The head of one of those human bombs blew up suddenly, activating the explosive on him at the same time.
The ground quaked.
“Winston!”
Ethan thundered. Another sharp sound erupted in the air.
The series of blasts were deafening.
Every one of those human bombs had been shot in the head and had blown up immediately. They had no chance to get near the bungalow.
Alarm flickered across Mr Cedric’s face. He looked up and stared into the distance. He found himself staring down the dark barrel of a gun.
He shifted instantly. A shot was fired into the ground where he had stood barely a moment ago, sending sand and dirt spraying in the air.
In the distance was Winston, staring into his rifle sight, a hard glint flashing in his eyes.
He fired three shots in succession but failed to hit Mr Cedric. The latter’s reflex was terrifying.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a skilled marksman as an ally. I would have died if I hadn’t resumed the peak of my strength.
Ethan wasn’t listening to him.
Winston was here. Those human bombs would have been quite a problem without him.
Ethan eyed Mr Cedric. The man wasn’t leaving, which meant that he still had something up his sleeve.
“I told you, didn’t I? I have a great gift for you and I must make sure that it’s delivered to your house today.”
Mr Cedric began to walk towards Ethan slowly. His pace steadily picked up until he was moving as quickly as light itself!
Ethan had moved at the same time.
The two men collided instantly, setting off a thunderous explosion. They were like two ferocious bulls that had slammed their horns into each other.
“Stop trying to provoke me,” said Ethan, “or I’ll make sure you won’t leave this place alive.”
“Hahahaha! It’ll be great if you could really kill me. Your wife’s going to have company on the way down to hell then.”
