When Life Takes A Turn

Chapter 10: Go On A Date



He began to regret coming there.He would not have done so if he had known that Thomas had offended the Larsons.
Noticing his bewilderment, Faye clenched her teeth and said, "Ethan, even you can't figure out a way to save my brother, can
you?"
"Yes, Ethan, you’re so resourceful, but you can’t save Tommy?" Ruby asked anxiously.
Waine heaved a sigh and said sorrowfully, "The Larsons are the first family of Waltz City with influence beyond comparison.Let’s
not trouble Ethan anymore.A son's bad behavior is due to his father's negligence.It’s my fault for not raising Tommy well.Now
that he’s in trouble, it’s my burden to bear.I’m going to pay a visit to the Larsons and offer my apologies.I’ll wait outside and
apologize in hope that my actions will move them!"
An idea came into Ethan’s mind.He smacked his thigh and said, "Don’t worry, Fifi, Mr.Carter, Mrs.Carter.I won’t allow myself to
stand aside and do nothing! I still have a certain status in Waltz City, if I say so myself, so I believe that the Larsons will certainly
show some respect to me too."
"Really?"
Faye’s eyes lit up.Waine and Ruby were excited.
"That’s fantastic.Ethan, we will remember your kindness to us!" Ethan swelled with pride.
As he looked at Faye’s exquisite face, he could not keep his mind from running wild and the words escaped his mouth,
"However, I have one condition.I hope that Fifi would agree to go on a date with me after this matter is handled."
Upon saying that, Ethan immediately regretted it.
How could he allow himself to speak his innermost thoughts and feelings?! Unsurprisingly, when Faye heard what he said, the
affection on her face vanished.
The situation left her feeling slightly uncomfortable, as if Ethan was threatening her.
Her original impression of him being tall, strong, and powerful had shifted.
Waine and Ruby furrowed their brows ever so slightly as well.
"Alright."

Faye nodded and said, "As long as you can save my brother, I’m willing to go on a date with you."
Ethan hastily said, "Don’t misunderstand me, Fifi.I was only joking.Even if you don’t go on a date with m e, I will still save your
brother."
Faye forced a smile.
"Hmm, even if you don’t bring it up, [’ll still go on a date with you."
She was about to sacrifice her body for the family, so she was no longer pure.
Why would it matter if she went on a date with Ethan anyway? Zayn stayed in the car and watched the intimate conversation
between Faye and Ethan from afar.
They looked just like a couple and it made him feel very uneasy.He pondered for a long time and found that h e could not calm
down.He decided to head over and check out the situation.
Perhaps, he may even be able t o help out.
They were at a luxury pool hall.
When Faye and the rest of them entered, they saw Thomas kneeling on the ground and he had clearly just taken a good beating.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Upon seeing Faye, Thomas called out in agony, "Save me, sis!"
As soon as he said that, a young man standing next to him kicked him to the ground.
The young man cursed ferociously, "I'll f*cking kill you if you shout again!"
Ruby had always spoiled Thomas.She felt as if she was dying of heartache when she saw her son beaten u p like this.
Tears streamed down her face.
"Tommy, m y poor son..."
She wanted to run over, but Waine grabbed her tightly.

He berated her softly, "Don’t act rashly! Are you trying to get Tommy killed?!"
Ruby had also realized her mistake.
It would not be a good idea to provoke the group of young men before her, especially the young man who was leisurely playing
pool.He exuded a powerful aura.He was the leader of the gang, and she figured that he must be the young Larson.
Faye took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said, "Gentleman, it’s my little brother Thomas’ fault for not knowing any better
and offending all of you.I hope that you can show mercy and let my brother off.Our Carter family will be forever grateful!"
"Hey, it’s a pretty lady.She looks rather beautiful, doesn’t she?!"
"I didn’t expect that weasel would have such a beautiful sister, hah-hah."
They cracked into perverted expressions upon seeing Faye and began whistling at her.
In fact, some even tried to come over and touch her.
It startled her so much that she hastily hid behind Ethan.
"Save me, Ethan!"
Ethan was forced to suffer in silence.He recognized that the few young men there were all big shots that h e could not afford to
offend.
Every single one of them could choke him to death easily, especially that young man playing pool.He was a Larson and his name
was Adrian.
He was also the most powerful person there!! Ethan met Adrian the previous month, and he realized that even his own father
had to submit to Adrian’s demands.
Ethan enjoyed being pretentious, but he was well aware of where he stood.
His status was nothing in the eyes of Adrian, so he could not possibly request favors from him either.
Moreover, he would be doomed if he were to offend him.
At this very moment, he had even begun to retreat.

However, Faye’s call for help boosted his feelings of masculine dominance, and he chose to become Faye’s champion.He stood
straight with his head held high and his chest puffed up.
"Stop it," he commanded.
One of the rich kids pointed at Ethan and yelled, "Who the heck are you? How dare you order me to stop?"
Ethan gulped and the manly facade he tried so hard to maintain faded immediately.He took out a box of cigarettes from his
pocket and offered it to the kid.He said in a humble manner, "Sir, my name is Ethan Capel and I’m the son of Zeus Group’s
chairman, Roger Capel.I’m also in Waltz City’s social circle."
"Zeus Group?"
Furrowing his brows, the rich kid turned around and asked the others, "Hey, are any of you aware of this Zeus Group?"
They shook their heads to show they had no knowledge of it and had not even heard of the name before.
Ethan was so embarrassed that his family’s Zeus Group was genuinely nothing in the eyes of these rich kids.It was but a small
company.
"I don’t f*cking care if you come from the Zeus Group or Deuce Group.Cut your jabbering and pay up 1.5 million dollars, and then
I'll let you take Thomas with you.If you don’t have 1.5 million dollars, scram!" the rich kid said tyrannically.
Ethan stooped even lower.
"Sir, Thomas is my brother -in-law.He is not an intelligent boy and too foolish t o recognize men of authority.I wonder what he did
to offend you, sir?"
Ethan was being so humble that the young man decided to control his temper.
He grunted and said, "You’re right about that.This piece of trash was so dumb that he assumed he was the most powerful person
in the world after a few drinks.He refused to apologize after running into Larson and still had the audacity to make rude remarks!
Let me tell you this, if all of you can’t pay up 1.5 million dollars as his ransom today, he can say goodbye to his hands!"
After she heard that, Ruby could not keep herself from yelling, "He had only made a few rude remarks to all of you.Did you need
to go as far as beating him u p to this extent? Moreover, you’re asking for 1.5 million dollars.Why don’t you just rob a bank
then?!"

From his game, Adrian then spoke, "You’re right.I am just robbing you.Why? Your son was audacious enough to call me a
b*stard! The price has gone up now.One and a half million dollars won't solve the issue, so you have to pay two million dollars.Of
course "
At this point, Adrian cracked into a malicious smile.
"You can go ahead and report it to the police.Let’s place a bet and see if it does any good.However, don’t blame me for not
warning you in advance.Once you’ve reported to it the cops, I’ll be taking more than just his hands.I’ll be taking his life!"
His statement made Faye and the others tremble in fear! Ethan was still gulping.He regretted offering to help and was about to
make an exit when Adrian beckoned him with his finger.He said in a taunting manner, "So it turns out that you’re the son of
Roger Capel, huh? Come here."
"Mr.Larson..."
Ethan’s legs were trembling, but he did not have the courage to refuse.His face turned ghastly pale from fear.
However, just as Ethan walked over and Adrian patted him on the shoulder, about to start talking, the sound of footsteps came
from the doorway.
A man walked into the room.It was none other than Zayn.
Adrian, who was still imposing as ever a moment ago, suddenly had a drastic change of expression upon seeing Zayn.
There was actually respect and admiration in his eyes!
