Chapter 6

A single sentence was enough to drag everyone back to reality from their chaos and emotions.

Everyone stared at Ethan with wide eyes.

"What did you just say?" Catherine suddenly spoke up, her voice trembling on the edge of breaking down.

Ethan's expression was calm, but his tone was cold and firm, "I said, I can save him."

"Shut up! At a time like this, you're still saying such impossible things to provoke us?" Catherine completely lost control, tears streaming down her face.

She felt that this man who had just gotten out of prison was just trying to humiliate them again with ridiculous words.

Chloe was instantly furious too, "Ethan! I never thought you'd be such a despicable person!"

"Hasn't the Senna family treated you well enough? You just got out of prison, we didn't look down on you, and we even wanted to marry our most important sister to you!"

"But what about now? You know my father can't be saved, yet you still humiliate him this way? This isn't over. The Senna family will never let you go!"

Jack also nodded with a cold laugh, "That's right, and the Thomson family too. You must pay the price for what happened today."

As he said this, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes, clearly not just angry but also harboring some selfish motive—he couldn't wait for Ethan to disappear completely.

However, at this moment, Aria suddenly stepped forward and stood directly in front of Ethan.

Catherine's voice turned cold, "Aria, what do you mean?"

Aria's tone was calm but unusually firm, "He's my husband, so I'm going to protect him."

"You..."

Catherine was about to explode, but Ethan suddenly interrupted her.

His gaze fell toward the hospital bed, his expression calm to the point of seeming heartless.

Because he knew very clearly—if they delayed any longer, Arthur would be completely dead in at most two minutes.

"Mrs. Senna, even if you don't accept me as your son-in-law, let me put it this way—are you really prepared to just watch Mr. Senna die? Since Dr. Krey is powerless, why not let me try once? Maybe there's still a chance."

"This..."

Catherine hesitated for a moment.

Von snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, "Ignorant and stupid."

Chloe refused outright. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, she didn't want to take the risk.

"Mother! Even Dr. Krey can't save him. This is Father's fate!"

"If that's the case, why should we take the risk? Letting Ethan mess around would be the greatest insult to Father!"

Ethan suddenly smiled, "Chloe, you don't want your father to wake up, do you?"

With that one sentence, Chloe's expression changed dramatically.

"What did you say?"

Ethan's tone was light but sharp as a knife, "Before, Aria was the key heir being groomed by the family. After her accident, the company fell into your hands. Now that she's recovered, do you think once your father wakes up, he'll continue to let you sit in that position?"

This sentence instantly struck Chloe's most sensitive nerve.

"Shut up! You're slandering me!"

Ethan smiled slightly, "Then step aside and don't delay me from saving him."

"You..."

"I can swear an oath—if I can't save him, you can kill me or cut me up however you want."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Someone who dared to make such an oath was either a madman with absolute confidence in himself, or a complete fool.

In everyone's eyes, Ethan clearly belonged to the latter category.

Finally, even Von narrowed his eyes, "Mrs. Senna, I'd like to see what skills he actually has."

"Fine! Let him try!" Catherine gritted her teeth.

The hospital bed was pushed back into the operating room. This time, only Ethan and Von remained in the room.

Von crossed his arms, watching coldly, "Begin. Let me see what tricks you can pull."

Ethan didn't respond.

He simply walked slowly to Arthur's side, raised his palm, and a faint golden light appeared in his palm.

The next second, he gently pressed down, and the light went directly into Arthur's body.

It was the aura of dragon bloodline merged with the power of an archangel.

At first, Von still wore a disdainful expression, but the next second, his whole body shook violently, his legs went weak, and he fell directly to his knees.

"This is impossible!"

His pupils contracted violently, his voice trembling to the extreme, "This is the legendary angel bloodline? How can this be real?"

He almost lost control as he knelt on the ground, bowing repeatedly, "Sir! I was blind! I dared to question you. I was wrong! I was truly wrong!"

Ethan's expression was indifferent, "This is a secret. Understand?"

"I understand! I swear on my life to keep this secret!"

The moment the words fell, Arthur on the hospital bed suddenly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.

"I... I'm still alive?"

Von quickly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Senna, it was Mr. Sterling who saved you."

Arthur was stunned, looking at Ethan with complicated eyes.

But Ethan didn't respond. He simply turned and left.

He had never had any good feelings toward this couple from the start.

As soon as he walked out, Catherine and Chloe immediately surrounded him.

"What's the result? Tell us quickly!" Catherine asked urgently.

Chloe sneered, "What else could it be? Father is already dead, right? If that's the case, Ethan, you should pay the price for your wild claims just now."

She waved her hand.

Instantly, several bodyguards surrounded them, completely penning Ethan in.

"Break his arms and legs, drag him back to the estate. I want to torture him properly!"

Chloe's voice was ice-cold.

Just as the bodyguards were about to act, Aria once again stood in front of Ethan.

And Jack also stepped forward to block her, saying with a low laugh, "Aria, you're so beautiful and so excellent. I really admire you. A woman like you should have a better future. I don't understand why you insist on protecting that criminal. His existence will only drag you down. After he's dead, we can stay in touch more."

Although his voice wasn't loud, his meaning was very clear.

Aria looked up, her voice ice-cold, "You disgust me."

"Ethan, be careful."
