Chapter 402: 402. Beating

Countless punches rained on Ethan.

He felt that his life was really miserable because he didn’t even do anything and what greeted him was already a fierce beating.

Bang!

Finally, Dylan ended it with a kick and looked at the man coldly.

When he saw Ethan stopped in front of the anti theft door, he knew that Ethan has some design on his wife. Even if he hadn’t done anything yet, Dylan felt rage in his heart and thus, he beat Ethan up as much as possible without killing the other party.

Cleaning up the corpses would be a hassle in this base.

And Dylan didn’t want to kill people for what they hadn’t done. Though, he was tempted to do that.

It was just that, he was more curious what made this coward dared to step forward now. In the past, no matter how much Ethan seemed to look at his wife, this man never dared to come and get close.

But now, Ethan dared to step to the sixth floor.

There was only Anna inside his room right now with Kitty beside her. Even if she was strong, but Dylan didn’t want to put her in the slightest bit of risk as much as possible. He just wanted to keep Anna safe.

*cough* *cough*

"You...."

"Who told you to approach my wife?" Dylan asked bluntly. He didn’t want to waste any time with this annoying man, so he asked directly with the question he wanted the answer the most.

He didn’t believe that this coward would suddenly have a burst of courage out of nowhere.

"No... no one.. Ugh!"

Bam!

Ethan felt that his ribs were cracked under Dylan’s kick. He could sense that this man might seriously kill him if he didn’t answer the question.

Having lived in this changed world for some time, Ethan knew very well that there were many people who had killed others for various reasons. Even if many of them claimed it to be self defense, who knew whether it was true or not?

And seeing Dylan’s cold and indifferent look, Ethan had no doubt that Dylan would kill him should his answer didn’t satisfy him.

But will Dylan let him go if he answered?

Ethan didn’t know.

It was just that he didn’t have the courage to try it out.

He only lived once and Ethan didn’t want to lose his life just because of a woman whom he was not close with.

While he admired Betty, he was not a person who would care about it in times of danger. Humans were inherently selfish. Many of them were only thinking about themselves and would not care about others as long as they were not threatening their lives.

And right now...

"It’s Betty! Betty Williams! I don’t know her middle name!" Ethan quickly answered while cowering in fear.

He really hoped that Dylan would not step forward and deal with him again. Because he definitely couldn’t bear with more beatings.

Even if Ethan was also an awakened person of earth ability, which enhanced his defense more than his other abilities, but it was nothing in front of Dylan. The main reason was because their differences in abilities were too great and thus, Ethan was simply pummeled by Dylan.

"Betty?" Dylan sneered when he heard this name.

Sure enough, when the Sunshine Base was destroyed and these people came here, they simply wouldn’t stop until they made enough trouble. Dylan was sure that if there was a chance, these people will definitely come towards him and made sure that he lived miserably.

They hated Anna and definitely wouldn’t want to see Anna live well.

Tsk.

It was troublesome, but if these people think that Anna was still the same Anna as before, then they would be terribly wrong.

"You can go now." Dylan kicked Ethan in the stairs’ direction and the man stumbled, nearly falling down the stairs.

Ethan didn’t delay and ran down the stairs as fast as possible as if he was being chased by a horde. Even if Dylan was not chasing him, he didn’t dare to linger in this place any longer in fear that Dylan would suddenly change his mind and chose to chase after him.

In that case, there was no way he would be able to survive.

Ethan didn’t want that in the slightest bit.

He still treasured his life and regretted coming here this time. Now, what he wanted was to stay as far away as possible from Dylan and Anna.

After that, it would have been better for him to never come back here either.

Because if he dared to come back, there was no doubt that Dylan would not show any mercy.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Ignoring all of his pain, Ethan reached his room and saw Coho, who was waiting for him. He had told Coho before he went up that he wanted to go there and see Anna to give it a try.

Even if Coho had persuaded him not to do that, Ethan still wanted to give it a try.

He felt that with Williams Family backing him, he would have a chance. Anyway, the Williams Family is a big family and now that the world was not exactly in the same order, it would have been fine.

So, he gave it a try.

But the first stumbling block he saw made him hesitant and didn’t dare to step forward.

It was also during this time Dylan came back and gave him the beating that took half of his life.

"Ethan?!" Coho was stunned when he saw the condition Ethan was in. "Are you alright? I’ll call the ambulance and..."

"We have to go from here." Ethan stopped Coho who wanted to call for ambulance. They didn’t have enough contribution points to spend in the hospital. Even if they had been working hard to earn contribution points, but it had to be divided evenly in their team.

In the end, their contribution points were only enough for them to live enough in the next few days.

It was definitely not enough for them to go to the hospital.

"You..." Coho could guess what happened and sighed deeply. "Alright, we’ll go from here."

Ethan nodded while clutching his chest as his broken ribs felt really hurt.
