Chapter 85: Superhuman Organization
Ethan stepped through the towering gates of the Hayes estate, flanked by Nate and Sasha on either side. The two looked like they were walking into a lion’s den. Their eyes darted around the grand hall, taking in the intimidating figures gathered around — some of the most powerful individuals in the country.
"This place..." Nate whispered, tugging at Ethan’s sleeve, "You sure we’re not trespassing into some mafia syndicate hideout?"
Sasha elbowed him, equally nervous. "Forget mafia. I think we just walked into a den of devils. Why are Carter and Marclaire family heads here?!"
She wasn’t wrong.
Seated with graceful yet dangerous auras were Carter Hayes, the living legend with cold eyes that could make military generals sweat, and Alistair Marclaire, a man known for smiling while crushing his enemies’ empires overnight.
Their presence alone would be enough to make anyone freeze.
"I told you we shouldn’t have come," Nate muttered again. "You don’t just ’visit’ the Hayes estate unless you’re ready to sign your will."
Ethan, however, seemed completely relaxed — a smug grin on his face like he was walking into his own backyard. He casually stepped forward and waved to the group gathered near the grand dining hall.
"Yo! I’m home."
The entire hall turned silent.
Carter blinked, expression unreadable. Walter Hayes leaned back in his chair, lips twitching as if holding back a laugh. Clarrisa raised an eyebrow in amusement. Mina jumped from her seat and shouted, "Big brother!"
Ethan barely had time to react as the little girl launched at him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
