The Great Ethan Lee

Chapter 93

The expressions of the crowd changed abruptly, instinctively stepping forward to shield Madam Lee from Ethan.

Kern's previous respect vanished in an instant. His gaze ice-cold as he looked at Ethan. "Insolent! Ethan, as a younger, is this how you speak to Madam Lee?"

A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Ethan's mouth. "Old man, not pretending anymore? How I speak to Madam Lee is none of your business, just a cur raised by the Lee family, inserting yourself here."

Kern's face turned ashen with anger.

Meanwhile, Ethan's voice turned cold. "I don't care what brings you here. I simply want to live peacefully now. Do not push me!"

His words did not anger Madam Lee; instead, she burst into laughter. "Haha... Truly worthy of being my family's descendant. Despite being driven out like a beggar, you've become a strong man now! Yet, esteemed Master Ethan, I can't control you, but what about your wife and daughter?"

Ethan halted in his steps, slowly turning back as if the Grim Reaper had returned to the mortal world.

Ethan's icy voice echoed in everyone's ears. "What did you say?!"

Many shuddered involuntarily, faces filled with horror.

As bodyguards of the Lee family, they had encountered numerous powerful figures, but this was the first time they felt such overwhelming killing intent.

In their minds, an idea involuntarily arises: 'if Ethan really wanted to kill them, no one in the place would have survived!'

Madam Lee was undaunted. She met Ethan's gaze head-on. "Ethan! If you agree from the start, considering you carry the blood of our family, maybe I could grant you the title of Lee family heir!"

Ethan looked at her with cold eyes. "Stop babbling. What do you want?"

Madam Lee chuckled ominously. "Hmph! It's quite simple. Take the blame for d**k Lee!"

Ethan suddenly paused. "Who is d**k Lee?"

Madam Lee replied, "d**k is your eldest uncle's son, the only male heir of the third generation of the Lee family!"

Upon hearing this, Ethan sneered inwardly.

'So in Madam Lee's eyes, I've never been part of the Lee family!'

Ethan scoffed, "Heh, the legitimate eldest grandson of the Lee family is going to prison? Madam Lee, it seems that the situation of the Lee family is not as rosy as it appears on the surface."

Madam Lee finally revealed a trace of embarrassment on her face.

Once, due to Homas' excellence, the Lee family was indeed very powerful.

However, twenty-five years ago, when Homas left the family, the Lee family had declined steadily since then.

Now, the Lee family was no longer what it used to be.

Dick Lee, as the legitimate eldest grandson of the Lee family, was nothing but a wastrel.

Not long ago, d**k had offended a figure that even the Lee family couldn't afford to provoke.

Despite all efforts, the Lee family couldn't exempt d**k from punishment.

The Lee family had been observing Ethan for a long time, but they never had the intention to restore their relationship.

This time, Madam Lee sought out Ethan to ask him to take the blame for d**k Lee.

Madam Lee said in a deep voice, "Ethan, to tell you the truth! As long as you agree to take the blame for d**k, I can promise to give you one-tenth of the Lee family's assets. It's enough to ensure your life of wealth and glory, enjoying it endlessly."

Ethan laughed. "Just with this, you want me to agree?"

Madam Lee looked deeply at him, a smug smile on her face. "You will agree. Unless you want your wife and daughter to live in danger for the rest of their lives."

Ethan's gaze narrowed. "What do you mean?"

Madam Lee said with a sneer, "Hmph! As long as you don't agree, tomorrow I will announce as the head of the Lee family that your daughter is the designated heir of the Lee family."

Madame Lee boasted, "the Lee family is prosperous, but it also has many enemies. Do you think when they know that the next heir of the family is just a little girl, will they come to take revenge on her?"

Madam Lee chuckled coldly. "Ethan, don't you want to live an ordinary life? I will put my tens of billions of wealth on your daughter's shoulders. Humans die for wealth, and birds perish for food. How many days of peace do you think you can have?"

Ethan clenched his fists. He thought to himself that this old lady was indeed vicious!

From the perspective of blood relations, July was indeed a descendant of the Lee family, so she had a legitimate right to inherit.

If Madam Lee dared to do this, she would undoubtedly place July in the vortex of countless power struggles.

Even if Ethan had the ability to protect July, who could guarantee that accidents wouldn't happen?

Ethan said in a deep voice, "Is the head of the Lee family so shameless now?"

Madam Lee looked at Ethan with arrogance. "Ethan, the Lee family is mine. I can give it to whoever I want, let alone my great-granddaughter. No one in this world can say a word!"

Ethan looked at Madam Lee and suddenly smiled. "If I agree to your conditions, will you stop bothering my family?"

Madam Lee saw Ethan relenting and nodded slightly. "That's right! Ethan, as long as you agree, the agreement I made before still stands. And I won't let you stay in jail for long. It's just to give them an explanation. the Lee family will definitely rescue you as quickly as possible."

Firm but benevolent, Madam Lee's mastery over people was exceptional.

Yet Ethan naturally didn't believe her words, but for July's safety, he had to agree. "Fine! I agree! I will take the blame for d**k!"

Ethan paused; his tone suddenly cold. "However I hope this is the last time. After this, the Lee family and I have no further ties!"

Madam Lee looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry. After this matter, the Lee family will never disturb your life again."

Ethan closed his eyes slightly and said, "You can go now! I will be there tomorrow!"

Madam Lee didn't insist further. If Ethan had promised, he wouldn't go back on his word. She trusted him on that!

A group of people left the roast duck restaurant, with d**k Lee walking over eagerly and asking, "Grandma, did that little jerk agree?"

If anyone who knew Ethan saw this young man, they would surely be greatly surprised. 

Because this young man named d**k bore a striking resemblance to Ethan.

Madam Lee glanced at d**k Lee, sighing inwardly.

Both were descendants of the Lee family, but compared to Ethan, d**k was useless.

However, d**k's mother was the legitimate wife of the Lee family, while Ethan, regardless of his achievements, was still an illegitimate child who couldn't step onto the stage.

The nobler the family, the more they valued such lineage!

Madam Lee said, "Ethan has agreed. During this period of time, you must stay in the Lee family obediently and not go anywhere!"

Dick's face showed excitement, followed by some hesitation. "Did he really agree? But Grandma, I heard that Ethan's disciples are all very formidable! If they find out that Ethan is in prison, won't they come looking for trouble?"

A cold light flashed in Madam Lee's eyes. "Hmph! In this world, the only eternal thing is interest. In front of absolute interest, father and son can turn against each other, and brothers can become enemies. It's nothing new."

After a pause, Madam Lee said ominously, "Moreover, the Eve family won't let Ethan leave the prison alive."
