The gangster who had been holding a steel pipe found that his accomplice had been punched to the ground, cursed angrily, and joined his other comrades to surround Ethan.

Ethan grabbed an arm that looked like he was throwing a fist and twisted it hard and a crisp sound of broken bones came out, and the pain made him scream.

Ethan frowned and threw it hard, and the gangster's head hit the wall of the alley and passed out.

The remaining three gangsters were already a little timid when they saw Ethan's neat skills, but the leader still roared, and the three rushed toward Ethan together.

Ethan used his toes to gently kick the baseball bat that had just fallen to the ground for the first gangster, and the baseball bat hit one of the gangsters in the face quickly.

The baseball bat was hitting the gangster's nose, and the blood was gushing out, and the nose was crooked in half. It was like opening a shop that dyed colored cloth. Red, black, and purple were all blooming.

It was like opening a sauce shop. Salty, sour, and spicy all flowed out together. He fell to the ground without any suspense, twitched a few times, and didn't know if he was alive or dead.

At this time, the steel pipe of the leading gangster attacked Ethan, and Ethan kicked his knee first. After a crisp sound, the gangster screamed and knelt on the ground. 

Ethan pulled the steel pipe out of his hand and hit the gangster in the back of the head with a stick, knocking the gangster to the ground.

The last gangster was terrified by the scene before him, watching his accomplices being easily defeated by the man before him.

He knew he was in trouble.

He took out his dagger and swung it at Ethan, "I am warning you, I'm Mr. Kim Bing's subordinate! He won't let you go!" The gangster used a trembling tone to threaten.

Ethan looked at the gangster in front of him with a smile. He didn't plan to do anything anymore because the woman who had just slumped behind him had quietly stood up and picked up the baseball bat on the ground.

The woman took the baseball bat and smashed it into the gangster's head, making a muffled sound. The gangster looked back in disbelief, then fell softly to the ground and fainted.

After knocking the gangster unconscious, the woman seemed to have exhausted all her strength, threw the baseball bat like an electric shock, and then slumped on the ground softly.

Ethan noticed that the woman's clothes were a little messy but not damaged, and they didn't seem to be insulted. Fortunately, Ethan came in time.

"Are you injured? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" Ethan asked with concern as he walked over to the woman.

"No, thank you, sir." The woman raised her head to thank Ethan.

But when she saw Ethan's face, the expression on her face was soon overshadowed by fear.

Ethan needed clarification as to why women did this. Logically, he was not ugly, and then Ethan immediately discovered that his sunglasses had fallen off because of the fight just now.

And now, with his amber cat eyes shining brightly in the night, Ethan realized that he might have inadvertently violated the International Union of Wizards Secrecy Act.

Ethan wondered whether he should spell oblivion on the woman before him.

Surprisingly, the woman's fearful expression quickly turned into excitement.

"You're a superhero, right? I knew you existed!"

The woman squeezed Ethan's arm excitedly.

Ethan was a little helpless about this woman. She had just escaped from the clutches of the gangster, and within a few minutes, she started to care about whether Ethan was a superhero or not.

"I'm not a superhero, ma'am." Ethan picked up the glasses on the ground and put them on his face.

"You are!" The woman stood up excitedly, still holding Ethan's arm tightly, as if afraid that Ethan would run away.

"My sister said before that she saw a car flying in the sky. I didn't believe it then, but now it looks like there are superheroes!" The woman said excitedly.

"I almost forgot to introduce! My name is Catherine." Catherine extended her hand to Ethan.

"My name is Ethan." Ethan and Catherine shook hands.

"It's not suitable to talk here; let's get out of here first," Ethan said with a frown.

Catherine looked at the gangster, who fell to the ground, nodded in agreement, and left the alley with Ethan.

"Do you need me to help you call the police?" Ethan asked with concern. Looking down at Catherine's face in the dark just now, he discovered that Catherine was outstanding under the street light.

"It's useless to call the police," Catherine said. "Kim Bing is behind this. They will be locked in the police station and released within three hours." 

"Who is Kim?" Ethan asked curiously.

"You don't know who Kim is?" Catherine gave Ethan a strange look.

"You are probably not a Londoner. Kim is the biggest gang leader in London. He has connections with the London government and the police. No one can do anything to him." Catherine said this with some helplessness.

"I'm a lawyer hired by a company bankrupted by him. The company had some evidence of his crime. The company just passed the evidence to me. I didn't expect that I immediately." Catherine is still a little scared here.

There seemed to be no shortage of such things, and Ethan nodded to show he knew.

"My car is there. Can you take me home? I'm worried that someone is watching me," Catherine said.

Ethan agreed to Catherine's request. Catherine's car was a fiery red Jaguar, a classic model of the 90s.

Ethan got into the car. Catherine turned the key to start the vehicle, and the two quickly disappeared on the streets of London.

Catherine lived in a tall apartment building. Looking at the security team patrolling the door, Ethan knew there was probably no danger as long as Catherine went home.

The fiery red Jaguar was parked, and she turned off the engine and pulled out the key.

Catherine glanced at Ethan as if expecting something, but she said nothing.

"Then I'm going home," Catherine said, looking at Ethan.

"You go, pay attention to safety," Ethan said to Catherine.

Catherine turned her head, walked a few steps towards the apartment, and suddenly turned around and said, "Ethan, do you want to go up and have a cup of coffee?"

In the darkness, Catherine's face seemed to be a little red.

Ethan smiled, "Sure, I am a little thirsty."

Then Catherine took Ethan to her home.

Catherine's house could have been cleaner. The bookshelves and the table were filled with books related to law, and a few clothes were thrown on the sofa. The walls are covered with photos of Catherine's travels around the world.

Seeing that her home was so messy, she blushed and hurriedly picked up a few pieces of underwear and hid them behind her, "Sorry, it's been a long time since outsiders have been at home; it's a little messy."

Ethan smiled and said he didn't mind.

Then Catherine made Ethan a cup of coffee, and Ethan sat on the sofa and slowly sipped coffee.

"You sit here first; I have to take a bath." Catherine was dirty from the accident just now.

Ethan sat quietly on the sofa, listening to water rushing from the bathroom.

After a while, the sound of the water stopped; Catherine's hair was wet, wrapped in a white bath towel, and they strolled to Ethan.

With Catherine's gentle pull, the towel fell from her body.
