Chapter 312: Brace Yourself, My Boy!

Ethan's muscles were tense, the air suddenly thickens that made it hard for him to calm his nerves.

This never happened before. Nothing had made him feel so unsettled, not even when he and his group had their first ever clash with a random gang who had years of experience in the Underworld than them.

What he felt back then was thrill; adrenaline pumping through his system. He was like a hyperactive five year old who accidentally drank coffee and was bouncing around the house in the middle of the night making his parents lose their minds.

But at this moment? He feels like he was trapped in a box, buried six feet underground with snakes binding and suffocating him.
