Chapter 245: Great actor Ethan

Chapter 245: Great actor Ethan

When Albert heard Anna, he softened a little. This young man looked like an African.

It seemed he was tortured brutally. Then the five of them entered the new underground house they made.

There were four rooms there. One of the rooms was allocated to Ethan.

Anna gave him some herbal medicine. They were the owners of the world’s largest pharmaceutical company. Cultivators and non-cultivators, everyone was their customer.

But now they didn’t have enough medicine to treat themselves.

After that, they left the room and went outside. But Erina was still looking at him for some time, then she also left.

Outside, Earl was talking to Albert.

"The masks will be ready in seven days. We will be ready to leave this jungle and live a different life by then. This is the last debt ’he’ is clearing by doing this."

Albert sighed.

"Yes, father. Where do you think we should go?"

"Let’s go to Japan. We will settle down there as ordinary Japanese people."

"Okay."

Ethan heard everything they said. Now he was thinking about how he could convince them to take him with them. He could manipulate them by mental energy but he wouldn’t do that.

"We’ll think about it. Still have seven days."

At noon, Anna came to Ethan’s room to see his condition.

By then Ethan was sitting on the bed. He was healed but looked a little pale.

Anna stood in front of him and asked, "Do you know English?"

Ethan looked at Anna and instantly became terrified.

"Ye...s, maam."

He slurred. His acting skill hadn’t degenerated at all.

Anna smiled after learning this.

"Okay then. Tell me everything. Who are you? Where are you from? What happened to you? Why were you this injured?"

Ethan was hesitating, then his head became firm.

"The condition I was in, I knew I couldn’t survive. But here I am, still alive, and that proves you are a nice person, maam. So I wouldn’t plunge you into the darkness I went through by telling you about my past.

Please forgive me, maam. After you saved me, I couldn’t even answer your questions."

Anna’s eyes turned soft. What type of situation did this child go through? She really wanted to know. She didn’t know why, but she was feeling her motherly affection for this boy.

Ethan then tried to leave the bed.

"Maam, can you show me the way out? I don’t want to be a burden for you."

His voice was shaking.

Anna said, "Sit where you are."

This was an absolute order. Ethan felt he shouldn’t even dare to think about leaving.

He looked at Anna with a terrified look.

But then Anna smiled. "Tell me everything, child. Nothing will happen."

Ethan didn’t speak for a moment. Then he started talking.

"I grew up in an orphanage. I don’t know who my parents are. I heard they left me there when I was very young."

When he said this part, Anna already felt her heart tearing apart. This boy faced something similar to what they did to their son. But she didn’t interrupt.

Ethan continued, "After turning fifteen, I left the orphanage to earn my own bread. I went to find a job and that was the first and last mistake I made.

That company was a gang in secret. I didn’t know that. And once entered, no one could leave their clutch.

They asked me to sell drugs, but I refused. They tortured me. I became their plaything. They would torture me everyday to see who could torture better."

Ethan gave a sad laugh.

"After three years of torturing, an old man had pity on me and helped me to escape from that hell. I don’t know if the old man is still alive or not."

He was sprouting bullshit like drinking water. He became a master at this art.

"Then I came here somehow, but I think they will find me soon. I don’t want you to face this messed-up situation."

Anna’s fingers already dug into her palm. Tears were rolling down. Maybe her son had to face something like this before dying? She didn’t even know when and how he died.

Outside the room, Erina was crying like someone had died. The beginning of the story was very similar to her elder brother.

Albert also heard the story. He also felt a deep pain for some reason.

But suddenly Ethan had a look like he remembered something.

"Maam, if I remember correctly, I was in a forest. Where am I now? Can I go out from here to the forest safely? I don’t have anything to pay you. I can only pray for you."

Anna didn’t answer anything, she just tightly hugged him.

Then she slowly said,

"You are not going anywhere. You will live with us. That’s final."

She believed all this nonsense because it was Ethan talking those lies, her real son.

And Ethan was almost like a god on earth. Catching his lie would be impossible for them.

Ethan said, "But maam I already said..."

"Just stop talking, little boy, and get some more rest. What would you like to eat?"

"Eat? I can have food?" Ethan asked with expectation in his eyes.

This was the final nail. No one would be able to take Ethan from mother hen Anna now.

Anna didn’t reply, she looked outside. Albert was watching all this.

He instantly ran to bring food. He didn’t dare to waste any time.

She asked him, "What is your name?"

Ethan replied, "Ethan Hunt."

This time even Earl in his room couldn’t help but sigh.

"The heavens really want us to adopt this boy, don’t they?"

Anna looked at Ethan firmly. "Eat as much as you want. No one will stop you from eating anymore."

Albert already came with food.

Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw the food and he started eating voraciously.

Erina was looking at this from a corner and muttered,

"Brother, have you sent this brother to bring relief to my mother’s heart from heaven?"

Ethan could hear what Erina was thinking.

"Stop thinking nonsense stuff, girl. Your brother is still alive and kicking. Stop cursing me," he thought, but then smiled. He always wanted a little sister whom he could spoil to his heart’s content and now he finally got what he wanted.

Erina was going to live like the ultimate princess of creation soon. After all, she was Ethan Hunt’s sister.

Ethan decided that he wouldn’t change his name and would keep the Hunt last name.

After finishing the meal, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.

Anna looked at him for some time, then smiled.

After that, she looked at Erina and said, "Come here and help me prepare some food. Your brother will feel hungry after waking up."

Erina saw that her mother started to behave more cheerfully, so she also went to help her too with a smile.

Albert heard everything and went to his father’s room.

"Father, what should we do?"

Earl was on his bed.

"What to do? We need a new identity, right? Why not Hunt? The Hunt family’s five members shifted to Japan from London."

Albert understood what his father meant and left the room.

Ethan almost gave a pat to his shoulder. What a great actor he was.
