Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations

As the two imposing figures entered the living room, Ethan and the man's wife were frozen in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.

immediately the children clung to their mother, their small bodies trembling with fear, their faces buried in her dress. The air was thick with tension, the only sound was the ragged sound of the breathing of the terrified family.

At that moment The woman's scream pierced the silence, a desperate cry for her husband. "John! John, where are you?"

Her voice was raw with anguish, tears streaming down her face as she clutched her children close. "Please, God, no..."

she whispered, her body shaking with sobs.

At that moment the man holding the blood-stained knife sneered, his eyes glinting with a sickening satisfaction.

"Your husband is dead,"

he said, his voice cold and emotionless.

He took a step forward, the bloody knife gleaming in the light.

"And soon, you will be too. No one can save you now."

Upon hearing what the man just said Ethan's expression darkened, a mix of rage and fear coursing through his veins.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles started turning white as he fought the urge to lunge at the attackers. "This can't be happening,"

he thought to himself, his mind racing as he tried to comprehend the horror unfolding before him.

"I have to do something, I have to protect them, not after they just killed their father."

Hearing what the scary looking man just said the woman collapsed to the floor, her body wracked with sobs as she held her children tightly.

The kids were shaking uncontrollably, their faces pale and streaked with tears as they tried to hold their mother, but they couldn't.

"Mommy, I'm scared,"

the little girl whimpered, her voice barely audible over her mother's cries.

Giovanni fixed his gaze on Ethan, with a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"You must be Ethan,"

he said, his voice dripping with malice.

He took a step closer, his eyes boring into Ethan's.

"We've been looking for you, boy. You've caused a lot of trouble for our boss, and we are only here for one thing."

Before Ethan could respond, Raymond spoke up, his words sending a chill down Ethan's spine. "We're going to kill everyone here," he said, his tone casual as if he was discussing the weather.

He gestured around the room with his knife, with a sadistic grin on his face.

"No need for questions or to mask our faces. No one will be left alive to identify us."

Hearing their words Ethan's heart raced, adrenaline pumping through his body as he prepared to fight for his life and the lives of the innocent family, he could tell the men weren't kidding, they truly meant every word they were saying.

"I won't let you hurt them,"

he said, his voice trembling with a mix of fear.

For some reason Ethan feels so strange about the fight. Experience exclusive tales on empire

"You'll have to go through me first."

At that moment Giovanni ran towards Ethan.

And without wasting any more time Ethan said .

"AURA!!"

the energy crackled around him and immediately he focused his gaze on Giovanni.

At that moment Giovanni and Raymond exchanged a glance, a flicker of surprise crossing their faces as they sensed what Ethan just did.

"Well, well, well."

Giovanni chuckled, his eyes glinting with a sadistic pleasure.

"The boy has some fight in him after all."

But their surprise quickly turned to amusement, their laughter echoing through the room.

"Your AURA is nothing more than a puppy's plaything,"

Giovanni mocked, his eyes narrowing as he took a step closer. "You're no match for us, boy. We'll crush you like a bug."

With lightning speed, Giovanni lunged at Ethan, his fist aimed at Ethan's face.

However Ethan barely managed to block the blow with his right arm, the impact sending shockwaves through his body.

And made him staggered backwards, and it slammed against the dinner table as he struggled to maintain his balance.

Plates and glasses shattered around him, the sound of breaking china filled the air.

At that moment, Ethan realized the gravity of his mistake.

Without being told he could tell the men were not ordinary thugs - they were highly trained, their strength and speed far surpassing his own and Aura doesn't even work.

At that moment he started blaming himself.

"If only I had known,"

He said to himself, his mind racing as he tried to find a way out of this nightmare.

"I should have invested my points in Strength and speed attributes rather than intelligence. I'm such a fool."

Raymond was walking towards the mother and the children when Ethan managed to leaped into the middle of the room, positioning himself between the men and the terrified family.

"You'll have to kill me to get to them,"

He said, his voice filled with a fierce determination. He knew he was outmatched for them, but he refused to go down without a fight. "I won't let you hurt them, do you hear me!!"

Raymond and Giovanni didn't say anything but instead they attacked in unison, their movements a blur of speed and precision.

Ethan fought with everything he had, blocking their blows and dodging their strikes. But he was no match for their combined onslaught, and a well-placed kick sent him flying across the room, his body crashing against the wall with a sickening thud.

At that moment Ethan struggled to rise to his feet, but his body battered and bruised he Couldn't move, Raymond advanced on him, ready to deliver the killing blow. But the spokesman's wife, driven by a desperate need to protect Ethan, she ran to him and threw herself in front of Ethan, shielding him with her own body.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"No!"

She screamed, her arms outstretched as she faced the attacker.

"Don't hurt him, please!"

immediately Raymond's hand lashed out, striking the woman with a vicious slap that sent her tumbling to the ground.

immediately her children rushed to her side, their cries filling the air as they cradled their unconscious mother.

"Mommy, wake up!"

they sobbed, their small hands shaking her shoulders.

"Please, Mommy, don't leave us!"

Seeing the child begging for their life's Giovanni and Raymond started laughing again, a cruel and mocking sound that sent shivers down Ethan's spine.

"This is the easiest job we've ever had,"

Giovanni sneered, his boot pressing down on Ethan's chest. He leaned down, his face inches from Ethan's.

"You're weak, boy. You never stood a chance against us."

He stood up and walked closer to Raymond.

Ethan lay on the floor, his body shaking with rage and pain.

He couldn't move, he couldn't even summon the strength to fight back. "I failed them,"

He said to himself, tears of frustration and despair stinging his eyes.

"I couldn't protect them, and now they're going to die because of me, because I came here."

Just then when all hope seems to have been lost, the system message sounded, the chime cutting through the chaos like a beacon of hope.
