Hee hee hee
Lance's decision to flee was correct and decisive, but he underestimated Ethan's power.
Before he could turn much, a multitude of silk threads were already extending from beneath Lance's feet.
Much like the thread gun attack that eliminated the two puppet corpses, Ethan had silently laid a field of threads underground.
**"Double Dragon Strangulation!"**
The silk threads intertwined and combined, transforming into two lifelike dragon-shaped threads in an instant.
The two dragon-shaped threads, about the thickness of an arm, coiled around Lance's legs, one on the left and the other on the right, then spiraled upward, attempting to restrain his entire body.
"Get off me!!!"
With his legs ensnared, Lance looked down. Seeing the dragon-shaped threads climbing up, he struggled to break free in anger and anxiety.
Boom!!!
Nen energy erupted, displaying 'Strength,' and Lance used all his physical strength to try breaking the two dragon-shaped threads.
However, the toughness of the dragon-shaped threads exceeded Lance's expectations. Even if they broke, it was only by one-third at most.
Moreover, new threads immediately extended out, maintaining the state of the dragon-shaped threads.
Failing to break free, within a short breath, the two dragon-shaped threads completely restrained Lance.
The silver-white dragon bodies, like hemp ropes, tightly entwined his hands and feet, and the raised dragon heads appeared on both sides of Lance's head.
However, the dragon heads did not attack, stopping once the binding was complete.
Bang!
With his hands and feet tightly bound, Lance lost his balance, stumbling backward and falling to the ground in a rather undignified manner.
At that moment, a 'spider thread' shot out, connecting to the dragon-shaped thread entrapping Lance, then contracted and pulled, hoisting Lance into the air. The direction of the pull was precisely where Ethan was standing in the distance.
Using the [Emperor Engine] as an early warning, after confirming there was still danger in the area, Ethan naturally avoided entering, instead pulling Lance out.
Plop!
After a swift pull, Lance landed directly in front of Ethan.
"Don't kill me, my sister is the president of the Black Dragon Society..."
Seeing Ethan's cold gaze fixed on him, Lance immediately felt a chill sweep through his body and hurriedly shouted.
Ethan paused.
Sister?
This guy is the brother of the president of the Black Dragon Society? And the president is a woman?
"So what!"
In just a brief moment, Ethan regained his composure and replied coldly. Not only did he not stop, but he quickly extended the threads, further sealing Lance's mouth, preventing him from speaking further.
If he didn't kill Lance directly, it wasn't because of mercy or fear of what Lance had just claimed about his sister being the president of the Black Dragon Society.
Ethan was simply preparing to extract more information about the Black Dragon Society from him.
The conflict had escalated, making it clear that he and the Black Dragon Society were now adversaries.
Facing such a powerful assassin organization, gathering intelligence was crucial.
"No, please spare me!"
"My sister won't let you get away with this!"
"Ah!!!"
In an abandoned warehouse, the screams continued for a long time before finally falling silent.
Turning on the faucet, water flowed rapidly. Ethan stood in front of the sink, expressionless, washing the blood from his hands.
"Trouble seems to find you no matter what. Even if you don't seek it, it comes your way."
Behind Ethan, Lisa leaned against the wall, arms crossed, speaking calmly.
"Who says it isn't? If Lance hadn't been so self-righteous, things wouldn't have escalated to this point," Mia sighed.
After leaving the park, Ethan took the captured Lance to meet Lisa and Mia, then brought him to the abandoned warehouse for interrogation.
After some brutal questioning, the trio not only obtained detailed information about the Black Dragon Society but also discovered an unexpected situation.
Lance's attack on Ethan wasn't part of the Black Dragon Society's original plan but was his own decision.
The Black Dragon Society's original intention was indeed to recruit Ethan, not to the extent of killing him if he refused.
After all, Ethan wasn't a weakling. Recruiting him was ideal, but if unsuccessful, they would simply let it go.
...But human greed knows no bounds.
Lance's **[Corpse Puppet of the Dead]** requires corpses.
After watching Ethan's battle with Castro, Lance coveted Ethan's body.
Based on the principle that only the deceased can be transformed, the best candidates for 'corpse puppets' are naturally Enhancer Nen users.
Ethan had demonstrated the power of an Enhancer in previous battles at the Sky Arena and in the fight with Castro.
Additionally, Lance's two existing 'corpse puppets' were nearing the end of their durability, so he targeted Ethan's body, wanting to make Ethan his puppet.
Of course, Lance had a plan.
If Ethan agreed to join the Black Dragon Society, he wouldn't act. After all, the society was his sister's hard-earned foundation.
But if Ethan refused, Lance planned to kill him.
To ensure success, he secretly enlisted another Black Dragon Society member, the Nen user who released the poison gas and was shot by Lisa.
The opponent's Nen could create a field of poisonous gas, potent enough to paralyze even top Nen users for several breaths.
"Mia, once you return to the martial arts school, announce a temporary closure. Instruct students and disciples to stay away for now, ideally taking their families on trips. They can seek reimbursement from the school when they return."
After cleaning his hands, Ethan used refined Nen control to disperse the water droplets. He turned to look at the two women, his gaze settling on Mia as he spoke slowly.
"Understood!" Mia nodded.
Given the current situation, the Black Dragon Society would undoubtedly retaliate, possibly targeting the martial arts school and its students and disciples.
This wasn't only because Ethan and Lisa had killed two Black Dragon Society members, but also due to Lance being the brother of the society's president, a close sibling.
Killing someone's brother, especially one with a strong sibling bond, would undoubtedly provoke a response from the Black Dragon Society.
Thus, temporarily clearing the martial arts school was a necessary precaution for safety.
