Chapter 585


    Kelvin couldn’t for the life of him understand how the tree could have gotten in Ethan’s way.


    Did Ethan run into the tree while he was shopping? He didn’t seem like someone so clumsy, nor did he


    seem like he would be so petty.


    Even a child wouldn’t hold a grudge against a tree, right? Much less an adult. That didn’t fit Ethan’s


    personality.


    Kelvin had seen Ethan raze his enemies to the ground, but it was the first time they were doing that to


    a tree.


    Brent pulled Kelvin over to the side and whispered, “Just follow the orders you were given. Can’t you


    see that Mr. Miller is in a bad mood? Everyone else is trying to avoid angering him, but here you are,


    making matters worse.”


    “I was just curious. Mrs. Miller has already returned to him. He should be happy. Why would hee


    out sote at night just to uproot a tree?”


    “Talk less, work more.”


    “Alright, tell the men to start. I’m curious to see if the stories about the tree are real.”


    Kelvin started to direct the excavator with the shovel in hand. “That’s right, move forward.”


    The excavator suddenly stopped moving as it got closer to the tree. The operator couldn’t start the


    excavator back up no


    matter how much he tried.


    “That’s weird. This excavator is new. It was perfectly fine before. Why would it break down now?”


    “Damn, is the tree really magical?”


    Kelvin’s face paled in fright. He quickly went to Ethan to update him on the situation. Then, he raised


    his head to see Ethan standing under the streemp with a chainsaw in hand. He cast a long shadow


    on the road.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Kelvin was taken aback. This looked like a scene straight out of a horror flick.


    “M-Mr. Miller, are you for real?”


    Ethan approached the tree with a stormy expression while carrying the chainsaw.


    Ignoring Kelvin, he raised his head to look at the tree. “I told you that if you really had powers, you


    should do your part. But if you don’t want to bless my rtionship with Liv, why should I keep you


    around?”


    Kelvin, who was standing behind Ethan, asked in bewilderment, “Mr. Miller, are you talking to the tree?”


    Ethan started revving the chainsaw into life.


    “Since you want to destroy my rtionship with Liv, I’ll pull you up by the roots.”


    That was what Ethan had said when he approached the tree earlier that day.


    The clouds started churning, and the snow fell even heavier.


    Kelvin held Brent’s hand, stammering, “Brother, I don’t know if Mr. Miller has lost his mind, but the


    weather is getting terrifying. Was it this cloudy when we arrived?”


    Even though the za was well-lit by streetmps, the dark, churning clouds were still terrifying.


    “Mr. Miller, why don’t we give it a rest? It’s just a tree…”


    The sound of the chainsaw drowned out Kelvin’s voice. Ethan raised the chainsaw, poised to swing.


    But thunder suddenly crackled in the sky.


    “Oh my god!” Kelvin yelled in fear.


    Generally, there were more thunderstorms in spring and summer. They were rtively rare in winter.


    There also weren’t any signs before the thunder crackled so abruptly. And it happened above the skies


    of a spacious za at 3:00 am. The hair on


    everyone’s back was standing on end.


    Even the usually stoic Brent raised his concern. “Mr. Miller, why don’t we stop? It’s pretty dangerous.


    What if the lightning


    strikes…”


    In response, Ethan swung the chainsaw at the tree without hesitation. The jarring sound echoed in the


    za.


    Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot as he said through gritted teeth, “Since you didn’t want to bless my


    rtionship with Liv, I’ll cut you down! I’ll cut down anything that stands between me and Liv!”


    Ethan was determined to be with Olivia for the rest of his life. No one would be able to stop him.
