Chapter 13: Absolute Crushing Domination
Hearing Mia's words, Gregory, who had been furious about the government official's escape, suddenly burst into wild, unrestrained laughter, as if he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Call the cops? Hahahaha! You stupid bitch, is your brain broken?"
Gregory looked at Mia with complete mockery on his face.
"Go ahead and make that call! You could blow up the police chief's private line and there still wouldn't be a single cop showing up on this street today!"
"Do you know what the Lopez family is? In this city, even those uniformed police dogs have to watch my face before they get their bones!"
Gregory's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The Lopez family's power was enormous, having already infiltrated every corner of the government and police force. That's why he dared to bring government officials and fully armed private security to forcibly shut down Ethan's company today.
Though he felt a slight doubt about what Mia had said to that fat official—to scare a powerful official into running away like that, this woman might have some connections.
But none of that mattered now.
He'd naturally have the family's intelligence network dig up everything about this woman later. Right now, he only needed to do one thing—
Protect the Lopez family's reputation and make this bastard pay a bloody price!
"Ethan, you think killing a few of the Thorne family's dogs means you can walk sideways on the East Coast?"
"In the Lopez family's eyes, you're just a wild dog barely surviving under our breath!"
Gregory viciously crushed his cigar on the table, his face twisted with rage.
"Do it! Break that man's limbs, and leave the woman alive—I want to kill her myself!"
The ten armed guards moved instantly! They didn't draw guns but pulled out tactical knives and batons from their waists and charged forward.
Noah let out a roar and rushed to meet them.
He was skilled in deadly combat techniques from various countries, his moves ruthless and decisive. A sharp side kick sent the thug in front flying.
However, two fists couldn't fight four hands.
These guards were cold-blooded killers trained at great expense by the Lopez family, with perfect coordination.
In just one exchange, Noah was pinned down by the three strongest guards.
Tactical knives carved two bloody gashes on his body. Noah fought back with all his strength but was still forced to retreat, unable to help anyone else.
The remaining seven thugs instantly broke through Noah's defense line and rushed straight at Ethan and Mia!
The bald brute leading the charge even reached out his hand, grabbing viciously at Mia's collar.
Mia instinctively cried out and closed her eyes.
However, just as that dirty hand was about to touch Mia, Ethan, who had been silent all along, finally moved.
To Ethan, these so-called top fighters moved slower and more ridiculously than a crawling sloth.
A dull thud of body impact exploded!
Mia only felt a gust of wind sweep past her.
When she opened her eyes, the man who had tried to grab her had his entire chest completely caved in. He flew back more than ten feet, smashing the conference table to pieces, blood spurting everywhere. After twitching twice, he stopped moving.
Before the remaining guards' brains could react, death had arrived.
Ethan's figure weaved through the crowd.
No fancy moves, just the purest, most violent absolute force!
Ethan grabbed one guard's arm holding a baton with one hand and casually twisted it. The thick arm instantly bent backward.
Before the scream could leave his throat, Ethan's hand chop precisely severed his cervical spine.
Next, Ethan ducked under two stabbing knives and slammed both fists into two men's stomachs.
The massive force directly shattered their internal organs. They didn't even make a sound before collapsing like soft mud.
In just five or six seconds!
Seven well-trained, fully armed top killers had all become lifeless meat lying on the ground.
Noah, who had just taken a knife wound to force back his opponents, watched this scene and swallowed hard, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Although he'd witnessed Ethan's power before, seeing it with his own eyes still filled him with bone-deep shock.
But Mia, standing in place, felt no fear. Instead, her beautiful eyes sparkled with burning light, staring at Ethan's broad back without blinking, her heartbeat quickening, thinking about something.
"No... this is impossible! What kind of monster are you?"
Gregory, who had been sitting in his chair ready to enjoy the killing show, now looked somewhat dazed.
His elite forces that he was so proud of couldn't even last ten seconds against Ethan?
He jumped up, trying to draw his gun, but it was too late.
Ethan crossed more than ten feet in what seemed like teleportation, appearing before Gregory.
Without even looking at the pure gold handgun that was only half-drawn, he kicked Gregory's handsome face hard.
With the crisp sound of a shattered nose, Gregory let out a piercing scream and fell flat on his back, slamming hard onto the floor.
Ethan stepped on Gregory's head with one foot, grinding his face into the ground like a dead dog.
Blood mixed with broken teeth spilled from Gregory's mouth, staining his suit completely.
Ethan looked down at him from above, his eyes cold. "Looks like the Lopez family's bones aren't any harder than the Thorne family's."
Ethan narrowed his eyes and slowly applied pressure with his foot. Gregory's skull made a bone-chilling crushing sound.
Just as Ethan was debating whether to simply crush this idiot's head and uproot the Lopez family as well—
From the blocked corridor outside the conference room came the sound of heavy military boots marching in tight formation!
Then, accompanied by piercing sirens, several deafening door-banging sounds erupted outside the conference room's broken door!
"We're the Federal Bureau of Investigation! Open up!"
