Ethan shielded Katherine behind him, his expression tense as he quickly replayed his plan in his mind, trying to figure out where it had gone wrong.
He had arranged for Salvatore to send some guys to threaten Katherine, planning to swoop in and play the hero.
But why were there two groups?
And these groups didn't even know each other.
Katherine stood behind Ethan, her hand in her pocket, discreetly calling the police as she watched the boy standing protectively in front of her.
His normally slight shoulders seemed to broaden in that moment.
There's something about a woman facing danger,she can't help but feel a pull towards a man who stands to protect her, even if he's just turned 18.
As the standoff continued, Katherine whispered in Ethan's ear, "Don't try to be a hero, I've already called the cops."
"Okay." Ethan didn't dare move. His stats were all at a measly 5, his only real asset was his skill, Void Dick.
