"You dare to ignore me?" Julian sneered as he walked up to Ethan, "Here, even if I kill you, no-one would know. Believe it or not?"
"You... are you sure no one would know?" Ethan raised his eyebrows and retorted. "What, you don't believe me?"
Julian glanced sideward at Ethan, a playful smirk on his face.
"Check your phone, there's been no signal here for a while now. Besides, there's not a soul in sight for miles. Who do you think could know what we've been up to?" Julian revealed a chilling smile.
Outside the city walls, it's a place of unwritten law that everyone knows about.
Killing, plundering, as long as it's sleek and clean, who would know?
"Eh? Oppa, why does this person seem a little familiar?" Selene, who was wearing short hot pants and a black vest, suddenly said.
"Familiar?" Julian squinted his eyes and looked at Ethan for a long time, but he still couldn't recognize him.
"Ah, I remember now! He's Ethan Hayes from the S-grade gene awakening in Class 3 of Senior year!"
Upon hearing this, Julian and the three other burly men were stunned.
But soon, the smile on Julian's face became even more grim. He ironically said, "Wow, an S-grade genius, not bad, not bad. I heard you're quite the character in school, aren't you?"
Ethan remained silent. Only a 'crack' sound could be heard as he crushed the Silverwing Bird in his hand to dust.
Next, he twisted his neck, flexing his muscles and bones, and his joints crunched loudly.
"Hahaha, Oppa, look at him! He still wants to mess with us!"
Selene pointed at Ethan, laughing so hard she was shaking all over.
The sight of the Silverwing Bird's carcass made Julian's eyes flash with a hint of chill.
"Heh, so being S-level makes him so great? Does he really think he's invincible?" He sneered, suddenly shouting, "Get him!"
Before he'd even finished speaking, three strong men lunged towards Ethan without a word.
It doesn't matter how strong an S-level's gene is, they have to grow into it first. Let's take him out while he's still weak!
Playing it safe, the three men activated their gene power and their hands instantly changed into fearsome wolf claws, with sharp fangs appearing in their mouths.
In this stance, they looked like three ferocious wild wolves! Ethan frowned, didn't avoid or dodge, and greeted one of the strong men with a powerful punch.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two wolf claws solidly hit Ethan, making his already tattered upper clothes disintegrate instantly.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise as the strong man who took Ethan's punch had a massive hole blown in his chest!
Ethan withdrew his fist, his movements smooth as flowing water, unceasingly heading for the two other burly men in black.
Upon seeing their companion killed in an instant, the two men were shocked, gasping in fear.
Did this kid really take down a high-ranking Warrior with just one punch?!
Who would have thought that the so-called martially focused Beast-Gene in this match would be so easily defeated?
Bang!
Ethan's seemingly normal punch sent the two burly men flying.
What was even more staggering was that their previous two hits on Ethan had not left even a single mark on him.
What a mix-up! Who truly represents the Beast-Gene here?
While these two guys were still in a daze, Ethan did not waste any time.
In a flash, his leg swept out like a bolt of lightning.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, one of the burly men's legs were instantly broken, and he fell to the ground like a ragdoll, his scream echoing through the sky.
Ethan would not give him a chance to catch his breath. Lifting his foot, he brought it down—Thump!
The burly man's head, like a watermelon, shattered instantly.
This series of smooth actions, Ethan didn't even pant, it seemed this Black Steel Battle Body Gene was really powerful.
The remaining burly man was already terrified, his legs shaking uncontrollably.
Without uttering a word, Ethan extended his hand and grabbed his neck. Crack!
With a sharp noise, the big man's head was violently twisted at a strange angle, causing his body to slump onto the ground.
Ethan dusted off his hands, acting as if he had just done something trivial.
He turned around, his gaze sharply fixed on the now petrified Julian and Selene,
"Who just said they wanted to kill me?"
Julian felt his legs give out from under him and he collapsed to his knees.
He stuttered as he spoke, his face was as pale as a sheet: "Ethan, Ethan, I, I, I..."
No matter how arrogant Julian was, at the end of the day, he was nothing more than a seventeen-year-old boy with a fragile psyche. At this moment, he was so terrified that he was lost, his body shaking uncontrollably, struggling to even speak clearly.
Ethan stared coldly at Julian, asking nonchalantly: "What, you want to beg for mercy now?"
Upon hearing this, Julian's tears and snot run down his face. He nodded desperately, wishing he could bang his head at Ethan as a sign of pleading.
Unfortunately, the next second—Bang!
Ethan stomped on Julian's head, bursting it with as much ease as kicking a football.
A mist of blood erupted, with pieces of flesh and brain tissues scattered all over the place. The wild grass and leaves were stained with red liquid.
Ssss--
Julian's headless corpse is still spurting fresh blood, wavering for a moment before collapsing onto the ground with a thud.
After dealing with Julian, Ethan shifts his gaze towards Selene next to him, her face is splattered with blood.
Scared out of her wits at the moment, Selene stands there like a wooden figure,
Only when Ethan's gaze sweeps over does Selene snap out of her stupor, her body shivering electrically.
"Ethan... Ethan, please, spare me!"
Selene cries, her tears falling like a pear blossom bathed in rain, pleading desperately.
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything!"
