Chapter 511 "You noticed Snow gavefive million dollars but failed to see that it was her entire life savings, and you certainly missed her subsequent death," Ethan said.
"You saw the South Regent gave10 million dollars but missed the fact that he and Jeremy had only met once and Jeremy was actually an enemy who infiltrated his company to steal information." Stephen's head drooped lower and lower as Ethan continued.
"If you can givethe Quinns' entire fortune, kill Simon, and somehow survive afterward... I might consider helping you once. Or, if you can get one of your enemies to ask for my help with money in hand, I might consider it. I won't ask for much. Just a single dollar would do." Stephen was speechless. Those conditions were impossible to meet.

At that moment, Ethan continued, "You call the way back from Hill City just to amuse me, so it would be rude not to give you a gift in return.
"Would you like to see Snow's wedding invitation to someone else, or should I show everyone the footage of Jeremy's entire execution process? Or perhaps-" "No!" Stephen shouted, unable to bear hearing more after just those two options. Either one was more than he could handle. Snow marrying someone else? That would be worse than death! As for the footage of Jeremy's execution... He had stood there and watched coldly as Jeremy died. If people found out that he had caused Jeremy's death and watched it happen without an ounce of emotion, his troubles would surely multiply. Everyone was already suspicious of his identity. If the video of him killing Jeremy got out, his life would definitely be ruined! He dared not let Ethan continue, terrified of what other horrors might follow.
"I don't want any gifts, and I don't need your help anymore!" Stephen started to panic, desperate to escape. He could not believe that Ethan could say such frightening things in such a casual fashion.
"You're a demon!" Stephen stood up, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. "I'll give you 10 million dollars... No, 30 million dollars! Just pretend I was never here today!" He quickly handed over the money and ran away without looking back, afraid that staying even a second longer would mean hearing something even more terrifying.
While watching Stephen leave, Ethan muttered, "Even if you pretend you heard nothing, it won't end here." The money would do little to help Stephen! Ethan was going to act now and target Stephen specifically! Stephen fled the villa. Only when he got to the main road, with the wind hitting his face, did he feel slightly relieved.
Looking back at the villa one last time, he shuddered and could not bear to look any longer. He quickly got in his car and headed down the mountain.
On the way down, he checked his phone and saw that there were still many posts about him online.
