What do you guys want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their actions spoke louder than words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes squeezed shut, they charged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you come near me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump, thump, thump…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham's legs were a blur of kicks, sending one bruised goon after another flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of them, as they sailed over the wall, actually managed what they probably thought were sincere smiles at Markham.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even mumbled, slurring badly, \"Fanksh, Marshus!\" (Thanks, Markham!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guys had been so thoroughly thrashed by Ethan that all the fight had been knocked out of them. Running wasn't an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they'd decided to use him as a human catapult, taking advantage of his kicks to make their escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of messed-up situation was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those times he'd been showing off, stirring up trouble…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come he'd never thought of such a method? An attack that seemed to do no real harm, but its propulsive force was incredible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though… Ethan's control over his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to have reached a whole new level of mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he'd first started, a single slap would leave a face red and swollen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, each slap could send Elias spinning like a top without so much as a mark on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, looking at that swollen head of his, you'd think sticking a needle in it would make it pop like a balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Markham kicked the last man out, Ethan flickered, appearing right beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham, out of habit, lashed out with a kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan had had his fill of fighting and was about to call it a day. He'd seen the Barbecues were ready and just wanted to grab one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the Divine Scroll contest had begun in Ethereal, the game hadn't entered a rest period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd been power-leveling like crazy and hadn't logged off to rest at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone eat anything decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the aroma of lamb Barbecues had his stomach rumbling insistently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected that, just as he steadied himself and reached for a handful of skewers, Markham, on autopilot, assumed it was one of Silverwood family's men daring to touch his precious Barbecues and aimed a kick straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kick from Markham was entirely different from the previous ones. The tip of his foot glowed with a faint yellow aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even took on the shape of a draconic head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan was inwardly shocked. 'What's going on? I just want a Barbecue, is it that serious?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simultaneously shot out a kick of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bear Form, Heavy Strike… Empowered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he was just activating the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment his foot made contact with the other's draconic aura, a powerful, dream-like energy shredded his shoe to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, without missing a beat, he fused his Energy with the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A portly figure sailed over the courtyard wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Owww…!\" A pained yelp echoed from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared, dumbfounded. Ethan was stunned too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Empowered Heavy Strike in Bear Form, even though he'd pulled back about half his strength upon contact with Markham, its destructive power was still nothing to scoff at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Markham to just go flying. Listening to that booming yelp, though… it sounded like he wasn't seriously hurt at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Markham, who seemed a bit dense, was truly something else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby and Rook were in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew Markham too well. The moment they saw that draconic aura flare from his foot, they knew he'd used at least eighty percent of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never imagined that in a direct clash, Markham would be sent flying by Ethan's kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ethan, in the split second of their collision, had even managed to grab the nearby grill, hefted it up, and with that ghost-like speed of his, darted out of the shockwave's radius. Bringing out a full grill of perfectly cooked lamb Barbecues completely unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a look, seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. This Ethan, was he really just an unaffiliated fighter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham, with his incredibly tough physique, was no match for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, they wondered, had Ethan used his full strength in that last exchange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, if he had used his full strength, how could he have possibly grabbed the grill and dashed out in such a short time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so… that was terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Markham reappeared at the gateway, limping slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked up at Ethan, he grinned. \"Ethan, buddy… you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wanted a Barbecue, you should've just said so… You scared the daylights out of me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing I pulled my punch—uh, kick—fast enough, or your skinny frame would be toast, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Markham spoke, he winked exaggeratedly at Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others looked back and forth between them, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barbecue Ethan had just lifted to his mouth froze mid-air. But then he chuckled. \"Yeah, yeah, good thing Markham pulled back in time. He even got caught in his own backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just starving, you know? Afraid he'd eat them all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, he pointed at Ryan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\" Ryan wanted to eat, sure, but he hadn't planned on grabbing one just then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous questions flooded everyone's heads. Only Markham shot Ethan a knowing look, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan returned a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Markham, he really cared about his image. Telling barefaced lies in broad daylight just to save face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan, on the other hand, didn't mind at all and simply did him a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silverwood family enforcement team had long since vanished while all this was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people quickly tidied up the courtyard. Markham, as head chef, kept plying Ethan with food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one said anything, but they all knew this was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Silverwood family would surely be in an uproar. Ethan and Markham, the two main culprits—one grilling, one eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both acted completely unconcerned, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby and Rook didn't show much reaction either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Chase siblings, however, were different. They were fugitives seeking refuge in the first place. Now they'd provoked the Silverwood family, a colossal power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they weren't the instigators, having entered the hidden territory with Ethan, if the Silverwood family decided to pursue the matter, none of them would escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan naturally saw their worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While chatting with Markham, he said, \"Markham, when the Silverwood family comes looking for trouble, protect these three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to get them out of here. Preferably, find them a safe place to stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham paused, glanced at the three Chase siblings, then looked back at Ethan with a curious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he nodded. \"Don't worry, leave it to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks!\" Ethan grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he dug into the Barbecues with gusto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham really had the makings of a great chef; Ethan ate until his mouth was slick with grease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unnoticed by anyone, Markham kept stealing glances at Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but occasionally, his gaze would also drift to the Chase siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Lars came by once, bringing some vegetable spring rolls, a fruit platter, and other food items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, everything was already skewered and ready for the grill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham praised him generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lars was about to leave, Ethan asked him if there had been any movements from the Silverwood family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lars, surprisingly, didn't know. He said he'd been busy in the kitchen the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan had to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lars left, he even said that with 'Boss Markham' around, they had nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he genuinely had no idea what had transpired there.\u003C\u002Fp>",1346,"2026-06-02T11:41:20.826Z",1,"novelbin.me","34cf3211976385d76204483079af82f1a5a1294a54b6bf2e5431088bc47722d2","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-264","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-262",946,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-cover.jpg"]
