Chapter 483: They Were All Hypnotized
Ethan approached near, then pulled the string out. It ended with a loudspeaker.
“Great acting!” Ethan sneered at the loudspeaker.
Dinah was surprised and exchanged a look with Vincent. When she was about to say something, creepy laughter sounded from the loudspeaker. “This is a gift for you. I hope…”
All of a sudden, Ethan shouted, “Lie down!”
Everyone was confused but followed his order. A second later, three boxes placed on the ground exploded at the same time.
The huge blasting force blew sand up everywhere in the air with burning flames.
Dinah shook the sand off her body, jumping up from the ground. “F*ck!” After that, she dashed to the leather box lying by the dead clown.
The leather box was already torn into pieces after the explosion. She lifted it up, and many medicine bottles rolled out.
They were all cold tablets of the same brand!
“Damn it! It’s a trap!” Dinah shouted.
Vincent got back to his feet from the ground and checked his teammates to see whether they were seriously injured. Luckily, only two of them were cut by wood pieces, and others were all safe.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ethan, what should we do now?” Vincent asked.
Ethan looked to the large container at a slow pace.
The fat clown walked out from it, and there must be clues left inside.
“Ethan, it’s very dangerous!” Dinah ran to stop him. “Let me walk inside first. You can wait outside.”
Ethan, however, coldly said, “Bring other comrades back now. Vincent, follow me in.”
“Ethan, are you suspicious of me?” Dinah frowned.
Vincent pulled her arm and winked at her. “Do whatever Ethan told you to do. Listen to orders!”
No matter how unwilling Dinah was, she had to leave with other teammates.
Vincent followed Ethan walking to the gate, then kicked it open.
Both of them quickly moved to the sides of the gate to protect themselves from danger. They didn’t slowly step out until they heard no sound from the inside.
“Ethan, do you have something to talk to me about after you told Dinah to leave?” Vincent asked in a low voice.
Ethan replied in a deep voice, “She’s a sensitive woman.”
“Are you…” Vincent wanted to say something but closed his mouth at once. He understood Ethan held suspicions of Stephen now.
It was completely dark in the container, but they smelt strong acrid blood.
Vincent opened the bright light on his wrist. The second the floor was lit up, he was struck dumb.
Countless people were lying on the ground one on another in all kinds of positions. Each of them was killed by one shoot. Blood was flowing everywhere, and there was no place for them to put down their feet.
What scared Vincent more was that all the dead bodies were wearing the same clown masks.
“Ethan, this…” Vincent was out of words to describe the picture.
Ethan looked colder now. “They were willing to be shot dead.”
“Really?” Vincent checked the dead bodies one after another.
He didn’t see any traces of struggling at all.
There were at least over a hundred people here. If any of them struggled, others would escape around.
Nevertheless, they seemed to be killed in peace. It wasn’t death, but more like a holy ceremony.
“They were all hypnotized.” Ethan opened his mouth again.
“Hypnotized? But who did all of this? Is he a strong immortal than us?” Vincent rounded his eyes in shock.
Ethan didn’t bother to answer him and turned around and left the large container. He called someone along the way. “Where are you right now?”
“Enjoying my coffee,” Stephen said with a smile.
“Can I join you?” Ethan sped up and jumped into a car with Vincent.
In a café.
Stephen was enjoying a cup of coffee in a private room.
Ethan walked inside without knocking on the door and sat right across him.
Stephen smiled and poured a cup of coffee for Ethan. “Kylie already met me this afternoon, and I told her everything I know.”
Ethan moved the cup of coffee away.
“You’re Clown.” His voice was deep and low but wore a dangerous tone.
Stephen lifted his cup, then had a sip.
He closed his eyes for a long while.
When he opened them again, he didn’t look gentle and kind anymore, but evil. “Do you have any proof?”
“I will.” Ethan pulled his lips.
“I will catch you with my hands.” Ethan squinted at Stephen.
Stephen gave a little shrug with his hands outstretched. “Ethan, Mr. Romeo alone is a big trouble for you now. Are you able to spare any effort to deal with Clown? And what about your dark secret? Are you brave enough to spit it out to Kylie?”
Ethan straightened up his body and sneered at him, “I won’t allow him to leave here with your goods. Regarding the dark secret that hidden from my wife will soon be exposed, I will do it myself,”
“Let’s see if you could convince her to love you again and stay by your side!” Stephen said and smiled at Ethan sarcastically.
Ethan growled and quickly used his power and raised Stephen into the wall. He gripped his neck hard and said, “You forget how powerful I am. I can change her mind anytime and make her fall for me by erasing her memory,”
Holding his breath and struggling to fight back, Stephen yelled, “If you’re powerful enough, then why am I still creating special medicine for your entire race? Ethan, you forgot that I am your Doctor, and your fake reputation as a human will be exposed if I get killed. Bear that in your mind!”
Ethan seemed to hit back directly into his head. He threw Stephen at the corner and screamed. “I will kill you one day!”
Coughing hard, Stephen waved his hand “Send my distinguished guest out.”
Several black tall, strong bodyguards walked out from the wall at short notice.
“Please.” They stared at Ethan.
Stephen challenged Ethan face to face now.
Ethan stood up and left. Once he was gone, Stephen sneered, “Since you’re here, why don’t you come and have a seat inside.”
Someone pushed the door open, and Dinah walked in.
She looked at Stephen, but couldn’t believe her eyes. “Do you know I’m always praying that you have nothing to do with it?”
Stephen stretched his neck to relax it. “It still has nothing to do with me until now.”
“Stephen, you are Clown!” Dinah yelled in anger and sorrow. “The clown I’ve met for the first time is exactly you!”
“You disguise your appearance and build. You made me believe Clown is your housekeeper. Why? Why? Why did you do that?”
Stephen stood up from the sofa with his hands in his pants pockets. “You must know what I want since you’re so smart.”
“Impossible!” Tears welled up in Dinah’s bloodshot eyes. “Kylie is Ethan’s wife, and she won’t be with you! You are crazy!”
“Yeah, I am crazy, but…” Stephen abruptly pinched Dinah’s neck, “who made me crazy?”
“It was a pure accident. I didn’t mean to make you take the pill!” Dinah struggled to get rid of his hand. The harder she struggled, the more satisfied Stephen was.
“I don’t care whether it was an accident or not. I want Kylie Finch!”
Dinah was out of breath now. She did her best and uttered several words one by one, “I-I did t-the check. I-I’m p-p-pregnant n-now.”
Stephen squinted and threw Dinah to the sofa.
