"Not to accept them?"

Andrew Brooks and Emily Brooks were stunned, looking at Ethan in surprise.

Victor Hunter's expression shifted slightly before he smiled at Ethan and asked, "Young man, these are excellent gifts, and Mr. Brooks seems to like them. Why shouldn't he accept them?"

"Stop causing trouble," Flyer Leun snapped impatiently. "What would a mere doctor like you know?"

In her opinion, as long as Andrew Brooks accepted these gifts, they would surely receive a share.

If Ethan insisted that they shouldn't accept them, wouldn't that be cutting off her path to wealth?

Crack!

Without saying another word, Ethan shattered the emerald worth over a hundred million dollars with a single palm strike, revealing a pebble the size of a soybean.

"This jade contains Iridium-192, which emits intense nuclear radiation," Ethan explained calmly.

"If Mr. Brooks keeps this near him, it will severely damage his health, leading to anything from limb amputation to leukemia."

Whoosh!

Before Victor Hunter and the others could react, Ethan swung the Fish Intestine Sword, slicing open the golden Buddha from the Tang Dynasty, revealing an electronic component inside.

"This is a listening device."

"It can monitor sounds within a fifty-meter radius. If Mr. Brooks places this Buddha in his study, all his secrets will be exposed."

"At that point, whether it's attacking the Aurora Group or ambushing Mr. Brooks or Emily, Victor Hunter could orchestrate it effortlessly."

"The thousand-year-old ginseng isn't poisonous, but it's been infused with juices from Veratrum, Trogopterus Dung, and Soapberry. These four herbs are mutually antagonistic and would severely damage the internal organs."

"With Mr. Brooks's current health, he wouldn't be able to handle it."

"As for this Overlord Spear, it's indeed an ancient relic, but it's also a cursed weapon."

"When Xiang Yu was surrounded and defeated at Wu River, this spear was stained with hot blood and filled with intense resentment."

"Although he died, his resentment lingers. If Mr. Brooks invites this Overlord Spear into the Brooks Garden, it would bring disaster upon him and his family."

"Victor Hunter and his people may seem submissive, but in reality, they couldn't bribe you, so they plan to stab you in the back."

"A blade that kills without drawing blood."

Ethan held up the Overlord Spear with a smile, "If you accept these gifts, Mr. Brooks, you'll be dead within half a month."

His words hung in the air, plunging the room into a stunned silence.

Emily Brooks and Flyer Leun were shocked by the sinister plot, realizing that Victor Hunter and his group would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and that one misstep could lead them into a deadly trap.

Victor Hunter and his followers were equally stunned by Ethan's sharp perception. They had meticulously tampered with the four treasures, yet Ethan saw through their scheme at a glance.

He even laid bare their deadly intentions, leaving Victor Hunter shaken.

Since when did Andrew Brooks have such a formidable person by his side?
