Ethan and Rose started walking toward the crowd. As for why Ethan stopped Rose, it wasn't because she wasn't their match or anything. That Master Timmy had just around Master Level 2 strength, probably an Innate Martial Artist, whereas Rose was a Level 9 Grandmaster. She could totally destroy that punk.
Ethan stopped Rose because he saw something.
He had comprehended the Supreme Law of Karma up to 6%, just like his Law of Chaos. All four of his Supreme Laws were progressing at the same pace as the Law of Chaos.
At this point, he could see karmic lines on individuals if he wanted to. It hadn't reached the level where he could identify enemies solely through those lines and eliminate them, but he could trace the threads and, using the Supreme Law of Fate, draw conclusions about where the karmic line might end.
This problem would be resolved once his comprehension reached 10%.
