Seeing Ethan Smith so stubborn, the two of them didnât say more, but there was a hint of pity in their eyes.
For Ethan, this Knotweed was extremely important; if he could get it, he would have a lot of confidence in reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Once he entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, Ethan would not be afraid of any dogshit Lane Family.
âCongratulations to Mr. Smith for winning a Knotweed plant with a price of 10 billion!â The auctioneer on the stage shouted excitedly.
This was the grand finale of the auction, so after the deal was made, the auction was over.
The crowd began to disperse, and Ethan and Emily Taylor got up and walked towards the backstage area.
As they passed by Asher Lane, he suddenly said coldly, âKid, youâve got guts. No one has ever dared to offend our Lane Family in South City.â
âOh, really? Iâm honored to be the first,â Ethan replied indifferently.
Asher sneered, âYouâre really asking for death. I hope you donât regret it.â Ethan didnât bother with him any further. He would handle whatever came his way.
Soon, Ethan and Emily arrived backstage.
âWait for me here,â Emily said, grabbing Ethanâs arm.
After saying that, she ran off to the side and called her father, Hugh Taylor.
As soon as the call connected, Hugh laughed, âEmily, what made you think of calling me?â
âDad, hurry up and transfer 10 billion to my card,â Emily said.
Hugh frowned slightly on the other end, âWhy do you suddenly need so much money? Is everything okay?â
âYes, itâs important. Hurry up and transfer it!â Emily then hung up the phone.
Ethan stared, dumbfounded.
10 billion sounded as simple as 10 dollars coming from Emilyâs mouthâ¦
In no time, Hugh transferred the money to Emilyâs account.
âLetâs go,â Emily winked.
Ethan didnât know what to say, but he probably wouldnât be able to repay Emilvâs kindness.
After finishing the procedures, the two took their auction items and left.
âHuh, isnât this jade pendant supposed to be mine?â Emily blinked.
Ethan said mysteriously, âI canât give it to you yet. I have to deal with it first.â
Emily nodded, âOkay, but you better do it quickly.â
âHuh? Why?â
âNo reason.â
Auctions werenât held every day, so the location was relatively remote, surrounded by thick jungles.
Ethan took a deep breath, feeling the qi that rushed towards him from all directions, and couldnât help but get excited.
âSouth City is really a great place,â Ethan raised his hands, looking content.
âIt is,â Emily agreed, smiling as she looked at Ethanâs side profile.
âWhen we get older, letâs buy a house in South City,â Ethan joked. âSure, but you have to work hard,â Emily chuckled, starting the car.
âDefinitely! â
At that moment, Asher was sitting in a car, coldly looking in Emilyâs direction.
âCapital City license plate⦠Younger Lord of Lane Family, it seems that these two came from Capital City. Should we be more cautiousâ¦?â The old servant frowned.
Asher kept his face cold and said, âSo what if theyâre from Capital City? If I kill them, no one can trace it back to me!â
âI must have that Knotweed!â Asher fiercely punched the car seat.
The old servant didnât say anything more.
He knew Asherâs personality very well; once he made a decision, no one could change it.
Ethan and Emily drove leisurely, enjoying the sea breeze as it blew by.
Suddenly, three cars appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
Ethanâs eyebrows furrowed, but before he could say anything, a car slowly approached from behind. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt must be Asher,â Ethan said, narrowing his eyes.
Then, Ethan turned to Emily and instructed, âStay in the car and wait for me, donât get out no matter what happens, understand?â âYes, I know. I trust you!â Emily said, clenching her little fists.
Ethan got out of the car.
He stood in front of the vehicle, silently waiting for Asher to arrive.
Soon after, Asherâs car stopped in front of Ethan.
âKid, I told you before, youâll regret it,â Asher said, stepping out of the car with his servant.
Ethan laughed, âDo I look like I regret it? Where do you see regret?â
âSharp-tongued brat,â Asher said coldly.
âIâm giving you a chance now. Give the Knotweed back to me, then cripple your own legs, and I might spare your life,â Asher said coldly.
Ethan squinted, âThe Lane Family is really overbearing. I paid for it, why should I give it to you?â
Asher was furious, âWhatever I set my eyes on is mine! Know your place!â
âThe one who needs to know their place is you,â Ethanâs face turned cold, and his energy quickly increased to the maximum.
âYounger Lord of Lane Family, would you like me to deal with him?â Asherâs servant suddenly spoke up.
Asher lit a cigarette and coldly said, âSince he wants to die, go ahead and kill him.â
âYes, sir,â the old servant nodded.
He slowly walked towards Ethan, smiling sinisterly, âKid, I know youâve got
some skills, but in front of me, theyâre nothing.â âYou sure do talk a lot,â Ethan said coldly.
âGet on with it, I still need to go back and sleep.â
The old servant laughed, âIgnorance knows no fear. Fineâ¦. Iâll show you what true power is! â
