Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 640
Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Finally Hooked!
Ethan Smith, of course, knew that because this incident was too influential.
The most critical part was the involvement of ordinary people.
“Lord Pavilion Master, I… have no other way out,” Ethan Smith said solemnly.
The Pavilion Master sighed, “Sometimes you shouldn’t be too anxious. You’ve done well enough. Why care about the present moment?”
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith abruptly lifted his head.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Lord Pavilion Master, you have no idea what Emily has gone through at the Capital City Martial Arts Association! These beasts, they’re constantly drinking her blood!”
“Now, they even regard Emily as their martial arts resource using her to foster some super cultivator! They continue transferring Emily’s bloodline to others!”
“I can’t stand it! Every time I close my eyes, her painful expressions appear before me, tormenting me incessantly!”
“I will kill all of them, all of them!”
Ethan was so agitated that his eyes turned bloodshot. Even the Pavilion Master, upon witnessing this, was a little taken aback.
“Ethan, you… calm down a bit.” The Pavilion Master patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.
“Lord Pavilion Master, I’m sorry, I’ve lost my composure,” whispered Ethan Smith.
The Pavilion Master shook her head, not continuing the subject. Instead, she asked, “Why did you rob the auction? How does that benefit you?”
Ethan Smith opened his mouth, originally planning to tell the Pavilion Master about the male corpse.
However, after much thought, he decided against it in the end.
“In short, it’s useful to me,” Ethan Smith said.
Seeing this, the Pavilion Master didn’t press further.
“Ethan, please be careful. If you get caught…” The Pavilion Master did not finish her sentence, but her intentions were clear.
Ethan Smith nodded, “Don’t worry, I will be careful.”
“Stay here for a few days, lay low,” The Pavilion Master suggested.
Ethan Smith did not refuse. He nodded and accepted the arrangement.
That night, Ethan Smith stayed in this secret chamber.
No one knew Ethan Smith was at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion. Even the Alchemists of Divine Alchemist Pavilion were oblivious of this.
The next day,
Ethan Smith took out the auctioned items he had stolen from the auction from the Spatial Magic Artifact.
Among these auction items, many precious herbs had been around for more than a thousand years.
Ethan Smith took advantage of these few days, commenced alchemy, and ingested the herbs.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed and the herbs had all been consumed by Ethan Smith.
However, these herbs were inadequate to elevate Ethan Smith to the mid-term Military Marquis level. The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is, especially for Ethan Smith.
The amount of qi he needed for cultivation was ten or even dozens of times that of others! Therefore, he requires an abundance of herbs!
This also meant Ethan Smith couldn’t afford to rest.
Ethan Smith sighed lightly. He took out his mobile phone and opened the Martial Arts Forum.
The top message on the forum was the establishment of the academy by the Capital City Martial Arts Association!
Ethan Smith quickly clicked on this message. It described the activation of the bloodline!
“Damn it!” Ethan Smith was suddenly furious!
The Capital City Martial Arts Association had actually established an academy. It seemed they were planning to entirely drain Emily’s blood!
Moreover, the message said that several students in the academy had received the bloodline baptism.
This infuriated Ethan Smith to the point of being murderous!
“Capital City Martial Arts Association….” Ethan Smith, unable to calm down, clenched his fists and then left the room.
As he opened the door, he bumped into the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master frowned, “What’s the matter?”
Ethan Smith replied, “Lord Pavilion Master, I’m heading to Capital City.”
“Going to Capital City?” The Pavilion Master’s brow furrowed slightly.
“They’re all trying to catch you now, isn’t going to Capital City like walking into a death trap?”
Ethan Smith said coldly: “I must go.”
The Pavilion Master wanted to advise Ethan Smith, but she could see that his mind was made up.
So, she could only say: “Then be careful.”
Ethan Smith grunted in response, and that very day he left River Town and headed straight for Capital City.
Upon arriving in Capital City, Ethan Smith didn’t rush into action but rather found a place to stay and started looking into information related to the academy.
After his investigation, Ethan Smith found out that the academy was named Capital City Martial Arts Academy.
The first batch of students were the internal members of Capital City Martial Arts Association, including the nine people Ethan Smith had slaughtered.
As for the second batch of students, they were the genius sons of the aristocratic families.
These young gentlemen had not yet joined, and the specific timing was yet to be determined.
“This academy… absolutely cannot be established!” Ethan Smith said through gritted teeth.
If they succeeded in establishing it, it would mean Ethan Smith would have to oppose all the aristocratic families!
By then, Ethan Smith would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Night time.
Ethan Smith once again came to Emerson Holmes’ house.
When Emerson Holmes came home, Ethan Smith was playing building blocks with Emerson Holmes’ daughter.
“Uncle, I want to eat more.” The little girl grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm and said.
Ethan Smith laughed, and, as if by magic, produced a lollipop.
“This is the last one, eating too much isn’t good for you.” Ethan Smith handed the lollipop to the little girl.
“Okay!” The little girl nodded vigorously, took the lollipop and ran to the side.
Seeing this, Emerson Holmes hurriedly walked over.
He said coldly: “Ethan Smith, what did you give my daughter to eat!”
Ethan Smith glanced at him and said: “Don’t worry, just a regular lollipop from a convenience store.”
Despite his words, Emerson Holmes was obviously not entirely reassured.
Ethan Smith huffed and said: “Before you betrayed me, I wouldn’t do anything to a child after all I’m not a beast like you people from Capital City Martial Arts, I haven’t lost my humanity.”
Emerson Holmes’ face darkened, he tried to keep his emotions in check and said, “What are you doing here?”
Ethan Smith said coldly: “Capital City Martial Arts Academy, how many members are there now?”
Hearing this, Emerson Holmes couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope.
But he put on a cold front and said, “Three, why?”
“No reason.” Said Ethan Smith as he stood up.
“You people from Capital City Martial Arts Association really are a bunch of dogs, expanding your own power without considering the safety of others’ lives at all.”
Emerson Holmes scoffed, “Ethan Smith, don’t be so naive. As long as the benefits are sufficient, what does a single life amount to?”
“Oh?” Ethan Smith sneered.
“So how much benefit do you plan on trading for your daughter’s life?”
Hearing this, Emerson Holmes immediately got angry and said, “Ethan Smith, I won’t trade anything for my daughter’s life!”
“So your daughter’s life is a life, but other people’s lives aren’t?” Ethan Smith said in a cold voice.
Emerson Holmes was momentarily taken aback, speechless.
Ethan Smith didn’t continue to argue with Emerson Holmes, he turned and prepared to leave.
“Wait!” At this moment, Emerson Holmes suddenly stopped Ethan Smith.
Ethan Smith glanced at him and said, “What? You have something else to say?”
“No.” Emerson Holmes waved his hand again.
Ethan Smith didn’t say anything and turned to leave the place.
After Ethan Smith left, Emerson Holmes took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
“He’s finally taken the bait, Ethan Smith, this time you’re as good as dead!”
