The crossbow arrow that should have pierced the body of the noble's eldest son was intercepted by a silver-white light before it hit, and the casino thugs closed in on the assailant holding the crossbow arrow, who was quickly overwhelmed and pinned to the ground without any effective resistance.
Everyone in the casino froze in place, as if hit by a petrification spell, including the small boss who had been conversing with Ethan.
Ethan saw him stiffen up, even stopping his breath.
This state persisted for nearly half a minute before the small boss snapped out of it, angrily running toward the assailant pinned on the ground. Even from a distance, Ethan could hear his furious shout, "Hit him hard, beat him up!"
In an instant, fists and feet rained down upon the assailant, who offered no resistance, merely curling up on the ground with his hands protecting his head.
