The Great Ethan Lee

Chapter 37

July, trembling with pale lips, looked at Ethan. Her eyes were filled with tears. She whispered, "Daddy, I-I'm scared..."

Ethan gave her a resolute look. "July, don't be afraid. Daddy's here!" His gaze lingered on her delicate face, and he hugged her small body tightly.

Deep in Ethan's eyes was endless affection. Using all his tenderness, he gently said, "July, if you never see Daddy again, remember, Daddy will always love you!" After saying this, Ethan kissed his daughter on the head, his face full of tenderness but his eyes filled with determination.

Ethan released his daughter, and then, with a burst of strength in his legs, he sprang out from behind the tree, exposing himself to the enemy's guns!

Swish!

Dozens of guns aimed at him instantly. In the moonlight, the assassin nicknamed Scorpion looked even more ferocious.

Scorpion's harsh voice reached Ethan's ears. "Don't blame us for being ruthless! We're just doing our job! Blame your bad luck for offending Mr. Peterson!"

Scorpion shouted, "Fire!"

Ethan's pupils contracted. He quickly calculated the positions of the guns in his mind, preparing to push his speed to the limit to avoid vital areas. But with so many guns, even at his fastest, a bullet hit his chest. In that instant, countless joyful moments with his wife and daughter flashed through his mind.

However, at that moment, Charles suddenly appeared before Ethan, taking the bullet for him! Seeing Charles's determined face, Ethan was stunned! Charles shoved July into Ethan's arms and shouted, "Run! Run now!" As he finished speaking, a bloom of blood erupted from his back, followed by numerous blood flowers blooming all over his body!

Ethan cried out in grief, "Dad!"

Ethan couldn't think any longer. He screamed and shielded his daughter behind him. The gunfire crackled, sounding especially harsh in the quiet night!

A few seconds later, the gunfire ceased. Scorpion turned on a flashlight and shone it over. Fresh blood stained Charles's back, and the old man's body lay heavily on the ground. Underneath Charles's body was Ethan, his face pale and his eyes closed!

One of the assassins curiously asked, "Boss, are these two dead?"

Scorpion was also uncertain. After all, almost all the bullets had been blocked by Charles, who had appeared suddenly. "Just go check! We'll know whether they are dead or not," he said.

An assassin nodded, approached to check, and found no sign of movement from Ethan. To be safe, the assassin prepared to shoot Ethan again. Just as he raised his gun, there was a sudden whooshing sound. With a scream, the assassin fell straight to the ground, a throwing knife embedded in his head!

The group looked up to see Ghost Wolf, looking like a demon emerging from hell, with throwing knives gripped between his fingers, rushing towards them at great speed!

Ghost Wolf's sudden appearance made the assassins' hearts almost stop. The throwing knives in Ghost Wolf's hands were faster than bullets, each one slicing through the air and hitting the assassins' heads or throats with precision. The assassins fell one after another, dead before they could even scream.

Scorpion swallowed nervously and hurriedly waved his hand. "Retreat! Quick!"

The group of assassins came and left quickly. Ghost Wolf didn't pursue them but rushed to Ethan's side, his hands trembling as he gently moved Charles off of Ethan.

Ethan's face was deathly pale, covered in bloodstains. His eyes were closed, and his chest didn't even rise and fall. In his arms, July's body trembled with fear, her innocent eyes filled with endless terror!

Sophia, who had followed closely behind, saw the mutilation of her husband and father and cried out in anguish before fainting on the spot!

Then, a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the night!

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

***

At this moment, on the Northern Battlefield, Jackson and several other generals were chatting lively.

Jackson smiled, "Chad, you did great! When we return, I'll personally petition the Department of Defense to commend you!"

Chad glared at him. "Jackson, you b*stard! You tricked me into the war while you attended the master's wedding. Don't you think you owe us an explanation?"

Facing the unfriendly looks from the other generals, Jackson chuckled, "Wait, I secretly took lots of photos of the master and his wife's wedding. Let me show you!"

As he pulled out his phone to find the photos, a picture sent by Ghost Wolf suddenly popped up. Jackson's smile froze instantly; his face hardened, exploding with intense anger!

Seeing Jackson's expression, the others exchanged glances and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

Clang!

Jackson's phone fell to the ground.

Everyone looked down curiously. On the phone screen was a picture of Ethan covered in blood!

Then, furious roars echoed throughout the military base!

"Order the Special Forces battalion to arm and head to Constant State fully!"

"Have the paratroopers drop directly into Constant State and await further instructions!"

Under the orders of Jackson and the others, soldiers rushed to Constant State overnight!

***

In the tallest building in Saint York City

In the brightly lit conference room on the top floor, a roar echoed through the room!

Ethan's disciple, Jason, roared, "Prepare a private jet for me! I'm going to Constant State right now! I want Eason Peterson to pay in blood!"

***

Inside a quaint pharmacy in Crownspire, several figures walked out one after another. Whether male or female, young or old, each wore a serious expression.

Ezra, who was at the forefront, looked at the others. "The master taught us that as doctors, we must heal and save lives. We must never have any thoughts of harming others! I have adhered to this principle for decades, dutifully fulfilling my responsibilities without daring to violate it!"

Ezra continued with grief and agitation, "But today, the master's life is in danger. If I do nothing, what use is my exceptional medical skill?! If today's actions cause any negative impact on the medical community, I will bear the burden alone!"

After saying this, Ezra staggered into the darkness. "Doctors can save lives, but they can also take them. I will go to Constant State to avenge the master! All the consequences of this action will be borne by me alone!"

Under the dark cover of night, turmoil arose across the Federation!

Meanwhile, back at the villa, Eason had just hung up the phone with Scorpion with a sinister smile.

Eason sneered, "Hmph! Ethan, how many lives do you have to dare to fight against me?!"

Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang. A man with a similar appearance to Eason, his father Ray, stormed in with a livid face. He stepped forward and slapped Eason, knocking him to the ground!

Ray, trembling with anger, pointed at him. "You b*stard! You've caused a disaster!"
