"Ethan..." Carmen whispered, her expression filled with relief and warmth.
"Haha… hahahahaha! Now that is my son! My baby boy! Hahahaha!" Madeleine suddenly burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, causing a noticeable vein to bulge on Ethan's forehead.
'This crazy old woman...' he muttered internally, his annoyance evident.
"Who are you calling old, you spoiled brat!" Madeleine snapped, her grin turning downright feral.
"Calm down, Mom. Big bro is just joking as usual." Trevor quickly stepped in, trying to diffuse the situation before things escalated.
"Fine, but you owe me a duel." Madeleine grinned, her sharp gaze locking onto Ethan, who felt a shiver crawl down his spine.
'Wha… sigh! Fine.'
"Can you release them now? Some are barely clinging to life," Trevor asked, glancing at the people still struggling under Ethan's suffocating aura.
