Chapter 1382
“I’ll return it, I’ll return it!” Ethan couldn’t stand Harkness’s temperament.
He was like this back then, saying that he wanted a showdown with Ethan, but ended up choosing a place without anybody around and even used some really underhanded tactics…
Ethan nearly finished him off on the spot.
And just because Harkness cancelled the previous order for the Assassins Group to kill him, he had the cheek to say Ethan owed him a favor?
Ethan was clearly unhappy, but Harkness wasn’t bothered at all.
The moment he heard that Ethan was returning the favor, his unsettled heart finally relaxed.
He changed his position, relaxed his body and exhaled deeply.
“You…are doing pretty well here,” sighed Harkness. “Was that lady your wife?”
“I never thought that the almighty God of War of the East, an unparalleled highly skilled fighter of this generation, would actually be tied down by family. I really…COUGH COUGH COUGH!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ethan kicked him and Harkness immediately started coughing violently and yelping in pain.
“If you spout nonsense, I’ll throw you back to Europe!”
Harkness quickly waved his arms about and didn’t dare to go on.
This bad temper had never changed at all.
“So, tell me, what happened? The King of Assassins ended up being hunted down by a bunch of assassins himself. How ironic,” Ethan scoffed. “And those who came after you are your own subordinates no less. Allow me to interview you – what are your thoughts on this?”
“He’s very powerful!”
Harkness’s expression instantly grew serious.
He wiped off that flippant and cheeky look and looked in an extremely grim manner at Ethan.
“He’s much more powerful than I am, and I’m afraid he’s not any weaker than you either…”
Ethan didn’t say anything.
“His boxing technique is the same as yours, and for a moment, I thought you were trying to kill me.” Harkness shook his head again. “But I know that even though you’re a horrible man, you’re very clear on who you owe and who owes you. Since you owe me…”
He noticed Ethan’s fierce glare and didn’t continue on this topic.
“He ganged up with my most trusted subordinate and attacked me secretly to injure me so severely. Otherwise there’s no way I’d end up like this.”
Harkness was best at secret attacks. He never thought that one day he’d be ambushed instead.
“He actually tried to kill you,” said Ethan.
“You know who did this?”
Ethan nodded.
Since this person had the same boxing technique or at least similar to Ethan’s, then it must be a move from the Extreme Fist Technique Manual. Who else would it be besides His Lordship?
But Ethan didn’t expect His Lordship to attack Harkness.
“Is your Assassins Group still managing an information network?”
“Of course. Without sufficient information, the group can’t operate properly,” nodded Harkness. “Are you saying that he was after the information network?”
“If not?” Ethan rudely pointed out, “I doubt he’s interested in taking your life, since it’s not very hard to kill you.”
Harkness opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was the King of Assassins after all, but after he thought about what Ethan was capable of and how he had barely escaped an assassination attempt himself to run all the way to Greencliff, he didn’t say anymore and changed the topic.
But these words were still hurtful to hear.
“I just want to rest and get well for the time being, then I’ll think of a way to get my Assassin’s Group back later.”
Harkness lay back down and pulled the blanket around him. He didn’t hide any of the loneliness and dejection on his face at all.
“During this time, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of me, if you return that favor you owe me, then I want to ask you to…”
Ethan couldn’t be bothered to listen to Harkness whine on and on anymore.
He got up and headed for the door. “You rest well. I’ll get your Assassins Group back!”
