Chapter 134: Pleasure doing business

Ethan and Prosecutor Katherine had agreed to meet at a coffee shop, and Ethan had gone out of his way to find a Bohemian-style robe at the COS store to wear for the occasion.

He was quite the looker, holding a crystal ball, which added a touch of mystery to his appearance.

“What on earth are you up to?” Abigaile, looking utterly confused, sat next to Ethan. She was a stunner and instantly became the most noticeable presence in the coffee shop.

“Quiet.” Ethan held the crystal ball in one hand while gently caressing it with the other. He had initially planned to use tarot cards, but since he couldn’t find them, he had to make do with the crystal ball.

Abigaile, feeling helpless, adjusted her sunglasses and reminded herself that her face was covered, so there was no need to feel embarrassed.

The coffee shop door swung open, and in walked a woman in a suit.

Ethan immediately recognized her as Katherine. She looked about 80% similar to his sister Jessica, clearly siblings.

Her brown hair was tied back in a simple ponytail, and she wore rimless glasses. Unlike her sister’s carefree demeanor, Katherine exuded an intellectual beauty, meticulous in every way. However, her expression was too stern, screaming ‘keep your distance.’

Upon entering, she spotted Ethan in the corner, dressed in his Bohemian robe, and her stern gaze flickered with surprise.

After all, the robe combined with the crystal ball was quite an eye-catching ensemble.

And the fact that it was worn by a handsome young man made it all the more peculiar.

The surprise in her eyes was fleeting as she walked straight up to Ethan’s table and sat down, staring into his eyes, “Do you have information on Salvatore bribing officials?”

Her look was cold and wary, clearly not trusting the young man in front of her.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had her personal number, Katherine wouldn’t have agreed to meet this stranger.

Ethan opened his eyes, stopped fiddling with the crystal ball, and looked disdainful, “Prosecutor Katherine, you look troubled, like disaster’s about to strike, and you don’t even know it.”

“…” Abigaile watched his performance, quietly turned her head away, and wished she could just disappear into the floor—it was so cringeworthy.

Katherine, who had seen her fair share of oddities, couldn’t keep a straight face. Her lips twitched uncontrollably, and she turned to leave.

Clearly, she didn’t want to waste another minute.

“The arrogance of some people,” Ethan’s voice followed her from behind, his fingers making exaggerated magical gestures he’d seen in anime.

In his mind, he secretly activated the skill ‘Void Dick’ to summon a Dick, which, after an upgrade, could now be launched within a ninety-degree range in front of him.

He subtly adjusted his waist, making the Dick appear right beside her cheek, and with a swift hip twist…

The skill ‘Hard as a Rock’ took effect, and the rock-hard Dick smashed against her right cheek.

“Thump,” a muffled sound.

Big Dick slap.

“Ah?!” Katherine screamed, dodging to the side and covering her right cheek, her eyes darting around warily.

She was already known for her icy beauty, and this incident instantly drew the curious stares of other patrons, sparking a flurry of whispers.

“Huh?” Abigaile also popped a question mark, looking at Ethan, wondering what he had just done.

“What did you do?” Katherine’s cheek burned with pain, and her tone was far from friendly. She was certain that something hard and stick-like had just smacked her face.

“This is how you treat someone who’s trying to save your life?” Ethan’s expression remained unchanged, “Someone hired a psychic to take your life, and I was asked to protect you.”

“Huh?” Abigaile was completely lost. What was he talking about? What’s this psychic business, and why wasn’t she in on the fun?

Katherine was just as baffled, her eyes scanning Ethan repeatedly.

She wanted to just walk away.

But the burning pain on her cheek kept reminding her that something invisible had indeed hit her.

Her expression fluctuated between doubt and belief, “Why should I believe you?”

As she spoke, she was already halfway convinced, but years of ingrained skepticism made her want to resist a bit longer.

Ethan chuckled coldly, “Psychic killings are unpredictable. For the sake of money, I’ll show you again, but remember, my patience has its limits.”

He pointed outside the window, “In a moment, someone will pass by outside. You pick anyone, and I’ll show you how a psychic kills.”

They were sitting in a corner by the window, with a clear view of the street where passersby occasionally walked.

Katherine’s expression was serious as she looked out the window, her mind racing. As a prosecutor, her intellect was top-notch.

She used this brief moment to quickly analyze all possible connections while observing the young man in front of her.

His handsome face, slightly slender build, and his bizarre attire suggested he might be some sort of mystic or fortune-teller from a secret cult.

And then there was his claim that he was protecting her for money. Who could have hired him?

The idea that someone wanted her dead didn’t surprise Katherine,she was currently investigating a deeply entangled case.

But as a prosecutor, as long as she was cautious, no one would dare attack her openly.

So, hiring a psychic to kill her made sense.

Of course, all this was predicated on the existence of psychics with real powers in this world.

Katherine’s gaze didn’t wander outside but stayed inside the café, although she wasn’t sure how this young man would demonstrate his abilities.

There was a chance he had arranged for someone outside beforehand.

After waiting for two waiters to pass by, Katherine pointed at a group of three students who had just entered, “Her.”

Ethan squinted. Among the trio, a boy and a girl were clearly a couple, and Katherine had pointed at the girl in the couple.

“Alright.”

Without hesitation, Ethan lightly tapped his teacup, his right hand making strange gestures as the couple walked past not far from them.

Suddenly, he activated the skill “Void Dick.”

In an instant, the Dick appeared under the girl’s uniform skirt, thrusting forward sharply.

“Ah?!!” The girl screamed, clutching her skirt and collapsing to the ground.

Her two friends jumped in fright and scrambled to help her up, but the girl’s face was flushed with panic and fear as she looked around.

She tried to stand, but her legs were too weak to support her.

Ethan shot an apologetic look at her boyfriend, thinking to himself that since it was just a poke, it probably didn’t count as cuckolding him.

Katherine watched, stunned, then her gaze towards Ethan slowly turned perplexed.

Abigaile was also baffled, wondering why she wasn’t aware of what was happening. Wasn’t this supposed to be some kind of trick?

“Miss Katherine, if you don’t need my protection, I can leave now,” Ethan said as he picked up his teacup. “Of course, I won’t be returning any part of my fee.”

Katherine quickly caught the implication in his words and asked sternly, “Who sent you to protect me?”

“No comment,” Ethan replied coolly. “As per our agreement, I’ll ensure your safety until the gang-related case you’re handling is concluded. As for anything else, I won’t tell you. Please make your choice, Miss Katherine.”

Katherine’s expression fluctuated. Ethan’s bizarre demonstration had genuinely frightened her.

The smarter one is, the more they tend to overthink.

After weighing her options, she nodded, “Please, enlighten me.”

“Pleasure doing business,” Ethan squinted, satisfied that he had managed to get close to the attractive prosecutor.
