Ethan stared intensely at the man in the suit, feeling the blood stream down his forehead and the crushing pressure in his chest. His gaze briefly shifted to his overturned BMW. He felt the primal temptation to pull the weapon from his Inventory, driven by rage and pain, but he held back. The situation was tactically untenable.
The eight individuals were carrying tactical rifles. Due to the high caliber of the weapons, Ethan now seriously doubted that his body, though fortified, could withstand a sustained burst of such firepower. He was unwilling to test that theory.
"Who the hell are you, and what is this?" Ethan demanded, glaring furiously at the armed men. "Why are you attacking me? I have no issue with you!"
"Allow me to introduce myself," the man in the suit said with a cold smile. "I am Axel Rhodes, the Zone Manager for Celestial. Our organization owns Celestial Garden."
