Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 546

Chapter 546: 546

Faced with Ethan Smith’s question, Mike Taylor had naturally anticipated it.

Thus, he prepared his response as if it had been premeditated.

“I don’t know much about your father, but I do know that he is a man of great stature,” said Mike Taylor.

“A man of great stature?” Ethan Smith looked at Mike Taylor.

“Could he possibly be even more formidable than the Taylor family?”

Mike Taylor smiled bitterly, “The Taylor family is insignificant in his eyes.”

“To him, wealth is trivial. Let alone our petty Taylor family, with his power, he can negotiate with a country.”

Ethan Smith had to take a deep breath.

How powerful must one be to negotiate with a country as an individual?

“Being his son, I believe you have no less potential,” Mike Taylor said.

“By then, let alone the little Capital City Martial Arts Association, even the official body will have to give you face.”

This level of power seemed too unattainable to Ethan Smith. Even a Martial Saint couldn’t achieve it.

“Where did my father go then? Why have I never seen him?” Ethan quickly asked.

Mike Taylor shook his head, a hint of longing in his eyes, “Mr. Smith is as elusive as a celestial dragon and is not someone we can predict.”

This was the first time Ethan saw such an expression of respect on Mike Taylor’s face!

This was sufficient to show how significant a being Ethan’s father was.

Ethan Smith fell silent for a moment, looked at Mike Taylor, and said, “This means the Capital City Martial Arts Association must have found something.”

“Correct,” Mike Taylor nodded.

“Ethan, before you step into the Marquis level, try to avoid a direct conflict with the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

Ethan Smith took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Taylor, I understand.”

That night, Ethan Smith was ready.

The next day, he left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion to venture out.

Meanwhile, the Capital City Martial Arts Association convened another meeting.

This meeting was no longer targeting Ethan Smith alone, but Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor!

At a glance, there were only four people in the vast meeting room, including Emerson Holmes.

But the meeting attendees were more than four!

They were hidden in the shadows, heard but not seen.

“After our investigation, everything is the same as we expected,” a cold voice sounded from the darkness.

“Today, we investigated Ethan Smith, who is most likely related to that person, and his physique is a chaotic body,” another voice rang out.

“The princess of the Taylor family, Emily Taylor, possesses a unique bloodline that is beyond our understanding.”

“According to ancient records, such a bloodline and Ethan’s chaotic body are naturally matched. Once they intertwine, they would be invincible.”

Emerson Holmes was dumbfounded!

At that moment, he realized that despite serving as the Vice President, he knew nothing compared to these superiors.

“Yes, we plan to utilize Emily’s bloodline. If it is successful, Emily will indeed become the most treasured asset of the Capital City Martial Arts Association!” Another voice echoed from the dark.

Emerson Holmes immediately stood up and anxiously said: “But…Miss Taylor is the princess of the Taylor Family. If we detain her without a good reason, will the Taylor family agree?”

The room fell silent for a moment before someone replied, “Tell Kylan Taylor that we will guarantee Emily’s safety and provide certain benefits to the Taylor family.”

“Yes, if Duane Taylor were still alive, it might be a little troublesome. As for Kylan Taylor…om doesn’t matter, a little advantage will suffice.”

Seeing this, Emerson Holmes didn’t say much more.

“Then…what about Ethan Smith?” Emerson suddenly thought of something.

“Kill him,” came a word from the darkness.

Hearing this, Emerson finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Who would have thought, the battle between Ethan Smith and Dexter Blair would result in such complications?

Not just that, the situation in Capital City seemed to be silently changing as well.

Many of the hidden high-level fighters in Pyro were slowly coming to the surface.

…

The next day.

Ethan Smith bid farewell to the Pavilion Master and left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

He set off towards the northwest, walking on foot, honing his inner state of mind all the while.

Soon after Ethan Smith left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, Joshua Hess got wind of it.

His facial expression turned cold as soon as he put down his mobile phone.

“From today, Toby Bacchus will manage the Great Saint Sect temporarily,” Joshua Hess said coldly.

“Master, where are you going?” the old man referred to as Toby Bacchus asked hurriedly.

A chilling killing intent flashed across Joshua Hess’s face, as he coldly stated: “To kill someone!”

…

Green City, located deep in the northwest.

True to its name, the city was all green.

Unlike the desolation of the surrounding cities, everything here was lush and green, like a forest.

Since it was located deep in the northwest, most of its residents had left Green City to settle in larger cities.

This resulted in a sparse population in Green City, but a surprisingly large number of sects.

“While the surrounding cities are all deserts, this Green City is all lush and green.” Ethan Smith remarked to himself, stroking his chin.

He released his divine sense, trying to sense the atmosphere of Green City.

“Hm?” Quickly, Ethan Smith sensed something was off.

In the direction of the northwest corner, there was an elusive qi fluctuating.

This qi appeared and disappeared erratically. It wasn’t particularly strong, but the distance was substantial.

Ethan Smith did not waste time and headed towards the northwest corner immediately.

Upon reaching the northwest corner, he saw a giant stone, as big as a city gate, come into his sight.

A few black cars were parked near this city gate-like stone.

Ethan Smith looked up at the gigantic stone, on which a few large characters were written: Beaufort Tower.

“What a silly name.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but comment.

He tried to sense the qi and, sure enough, the traces of qi were indeed emanating from this Beaufort Tower.

Ethan Smith thought for a moment and then walked in with large strides.

Inside Beaufort Tower, was a large fenced area, no less than the typical manor of affluent households.

Ethan Smith followed the qi, walking towards a certain direction.

In no time at all, he saw a large lake come into his view.

Ethan Smith bent down, scooping up some clear water with his hand.

After taking a sip, he detected a strange taste in the water.

“The lake water has qi, but its taste is odd, unlike the Water Dragon Cave,” Ethan Smith muttered.

This feeling… it was as if the qi had been diluted countless times.

Ethan Smith casually picked up a large stone and threw it into the lake.

He took another sip of the lake water, only to find that the taste this time was different.

Compared to the first scoop of water, the qi in the lake water this time seemed a bit richer.

“This is strange,” Ethan Smith said, puzzled.

He looked around and saw a small entrance at the border of the lake.

The water in the lake seemed to be flowing in from this entrance.
