Long chapter
—
Everything had happened so quickly that Ethan could barely process it. One moment he had been arguing with that troublesome little monk, and the next the kid had been chased off by lightning that twisted through a perfectly clear sky.
Still, one thing was certain.
That annoying brat was finally gone.
Not wanting to risk the possibility that the kid might suddenly reappear, Ethan immediately picked a direction and bolted. As for the parting shout about finding him later, Ethan could not care less.
Forget whether the lightning would kill him or not. Even if it did not, Ethan was hardly alone. He had plenty of people around him.
If the kid really came looking for trouble, they would simply surround him and beat him senseless.
So what if he was fast?
Ethan would happily introduce him to the ancient and reliable concept known as a group beating.
