Liam pped his hands, shot a look of admiration at Ethan, then turned back to face the two captives.
“Just answer our questions honestly and nothing will happen to you. But if you want to y games… Hmm, I don’t look like the kind to joke around, do I?”
The bald guy still looked fierce, but when he nced sideways, there was a hint of hesitation.
Ethan just sat there, holding a lighter in his palm and casually fiddling with it.
He didn’t say anything, but the air in the room gradually grew tense.
“What do you want from us?”
Finally, one of the men on the floor spoke up, his voice gruff.
Compared to them, Ethan looked as rxed as if he were at home. He chuckled softly. “That’s my question for you two. Why are you on this mountain in the middle of the night? What do you want, and what are you looking for?”
The bald guy looked tough, with solid muscle that made him seem hard to mess with. The other man was more sallow–skinned. He was taller and thinner than the bald guy, with a crafty glint in his eye that didn’t seem especially bright.
The bald guy kept silent, but the tall one was about to crack.
“How … how did you know about us?”
The words were barely out before the bald guy shot him a re. “Shut up!”
Ethan watched the two with interest, thenughed softly. “How I found out about you isn’t important. What matters is you need to know that if I don’t hear what I want tonight, neither of you will walk out of here.”
The lighter in his hand snapped open with a click.
A blue–green me red up, almost looking like it could burn through anything.
The tall guy shivered, shooting desperate nces at the bald one.
The bald guy pretended not to see, his eyes fixated on Ethan with cold intensity. “I’ll talk, but you need to tell us who you are first.”

Liam kicked him in the back. “Hey, you sure have a lot to say.”

“Ever heard of picking your battles wisely? Do you seriously think you’re in any position to negotiate?”
The bald guy didn’t react, his face unreadable.
But Ethan actually found him a little more interesting now, his mouth curling into a half- smile. “Politeness isn’t my thing, and I never bother introducing myself. But it doesn’t matter. I know who you are.”
The bald guy’s eyes widened. “You know me?”
“You guys are Lucas’s muscle.”
Ethan’s tone stayed light. “You two did a lot of dirty work for him overseas. But now that you’re back in the country, this isn’t your safe zone anymore.”
He’d figured out who they were so fast because both men were clearly trained.
If they hadn’t been caught off guard just now, it probably would’ve taken the three of them a serious fight to subdue them. <fnff29> For more chapters visit Find1Novel</fnff29>
The bald guy’s lips trembled slightly, a hint of resignation shining in his eyes.
But in the end, he still said nothing.
On the other hand, the tall guy looked totally lost. He cursed, “What are you talking about? You two know each other or something?”
Naturally, no one bothered answering such a dumb question.
After a while, the bald guy finally let out a long breath, as if making up his mind. His voice was stiff. “If we tell you everything, can you guarantee our safety?”
Ethan said, “I don’t like betraying people who help me. If you help me, you’re under my protection.”
“Fine, I’ll talk.
“Lucas sent us up the mountain on a mission. He wanted us to find something, and he made it clear that Dawn can’t know about it.
“But I don’t know exactly what it is.”

nodded in agreement.
“Me neither. He never said what it was. He just told us it should–be a small box… and we aren’t allowed to open it.”
Ethan’s dark eyes narrowed, staring at them for two seconds before he snapped the lighter shut.
“I got it.”
He stood up. “You can go now.”
Catching on quickly, Liam untied both men right away.
But the bald guy scowled. “Didn’t you say you’d guarantee our safety? What’s this supposed to mean?<b>” </b>
Ethan frowned, clearly not wanting to answer such a stupid question. Two secondster, he scoffed, “If you don’t go back, how am I supposed to know what Lucas is after?”
The bald guy was speechless.
“Whatever he’s paying you, I’ll double it.”
Some people believed there was nothing in the world that couldn’t be bought with money. And if there was, it only meant the offer hadn’t been high enough.
When Dawn woke up, the world was quiet again. Morning sunlight shone from above, making the new grass look like it was glowing.
She looked around and spotted Ethan in the driver’s seat. Still groggy, she asked, “What time is it?<b>” </b>
“Six.”
Ethan smiled and stroked her face. “Let’s go home and get more sleep.”
“Ah…”

Dawn rubbed her face with both hands, waking up a little. “What about those two? Did they find anything? What was it? Did they leave already?”
She fired off questions one after another, her logic surprisingly clear.

Ethan just smiled quietly, started the engine, and said nothing.
“Wait a second, that’s not right. Howe they just left?”
