Asher Lane was trembling with rage! If it was not for the Taylor family, he would have clashed with Ethan Smith long ago!
âFine, fine.â Asher Lane pointed at Ethan Smith, and then sneered, âI really want to see how long you, a man living off a woman, can act so arrogantly!â
Leaving these words behind, Asher Lane turned and left.
Ethan Smith watched his retreating figure and couldnât help but sneer repeatedly.
Afterward, he personally infused Edward Green with qi, and also prepared several healing Pill for Edward Green to treat his wounds.
Looking at Edward Green lying on the bed, Ethan Smith couldnât help but sigh.
Edward Green was a really great guy, if it werenât for his help, he was sure to have been beaten up by Asher Lane this time.
It was not until noon the next day that Edward Green woke up from unconsciousness.
âMr. Smith.â As soon as he woke up, Edward Green quickly tried to get up.
But Ethan Smith waved his hand and said, âLie down. You canât move around with your current state.â
Edward Green gritted his teeth and whispered, âItâs all my fault that Iâm uselessâ¦â
âNo.â Ethan Smith shook his head.
âItâs all thanks to you this time.â Ethan Smith said sincerely.
Edward Green smiled bitterly, and sighed, âAsher Lane is among the Inner Strength Masters, his strength cannot be underestimated, the disparity between him and me is simply too large.â
âInner Strength Master?â Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow.
If we were to compare it to the stages of cultivation, Asher Lane would be similar to the early Foundation Establishment Stage, slightly stronger than Ethan Smith who was at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage.
But Ethan Smith was not worried.
Cultivation and martial arts were fundamentally different, and the formerâs strength was absolutely superior to the latter.
Ethan Smith had full confidence that he could easily defeat Asher Lane.
âDonât worry, I will take revenge for you.â Ethan Smith smiled and said.
Edward Green was stunned, he quickly said, âMr. Smith, you mustnât act recklessly! The Lane Family is not so simple, itâs even above the Hill family!â âHave you heard of the Lane family?â Ethan Smith looked surprised.
Edward Green nodded, âWhen I was with Benjamin Hill previously, they had cooperated, so I know a bit.â
Ethan Smith hummed in acknowledgment, gesturing for Edward Green to continue.
Edward Green thoughtfully said, âThe Lane Family is different from ordinary merchants. Their family supports a large number of guests, including celebrities from all walks of life.â
âFor example, the big names in calligraphy, celebrities in the jade industry, masters in the martial arts worldâ¦â
âNot only that, the Lane Family itself also emphasizes on martial arts. Asher Lane has quite a reputation in the Chuzzle martial arts world and is considered a standout among the younger generation.â
After listening to Edward Greenâs words, Ethan Smith was not only not worried, but a bit excited instead.
âSoâ¦if I defeat Asher Laneâ¦my name will certainly make a big noise in Chuzzle.â Ethan Smith muttered quietly to himself.
Edward Green was taken aback, he had not expected that Ethan Smith was not afraid at all!
At this time, Ethan Smith was eager to establish his reputation, making it easier for him to get in touch with people in the martial arts world.
In this way, Ethan Smith would be able to get his hands on herbs faster.
âRest well, Iâll take you to South City in three days.â Ethan Smith didnât say much more, he got up and walked out.
The surrounding area was rich in qi, so naturally, Ethan Smith would not miss out.
He sat by the river, slightly closed his eyes, and absorbed the qi from nature.
News about Ethan Smith and Asher Laneâs dispute spread quickly.
The Lane Family, fearing blame from the Taylor Family, deliberately made a big deal about it, wanting everyone to know that Asher Lane was having a
âfriendly exchange and fair competitionâ with Ethan Smith.
Close to half of Chuzzle had heard about the matter between Ethan Smith and Asher Lane.
âHaha, I knew it, as soon as Miss Taylor left, someone would definitely come to deal with Ethan Smith!â
âI didnât expect the Lane family to act so fast!â
âWith the Lane Family leading the charge, Ethan Smith is definitely doomed!â
Innumerable messages spread as if they had grown wings.
At this time, however, Ethan Smith was not affected at all.
He was sitting by the river, absorbing the spiritual energy around him.
For a full day and night, he had almost completely absorbed the spiritual energy around him, but he still hadnât managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
âIt seems that breaking through to a higher level is much more difficult than I imagined.â Ethan Smith opened his eyes and murmured to himself. He clenched his fists, feeling the abundant power within his body.
This power was at least several times greater than before.
âI really canât fathom what kind of power I would possess after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.â Ethan Smith looked forward to it even more.
âIs Mr. Smith at home?â Just then, someone called out at the gate of the villa.
Ethan Smith looked towards the gate and saw a man standing there, looking around.
Upon reaching the gate, Ethan Smith asked with some doubt, âI am Ethan
Smith, who might you be?â
The man laughed, âMr. Smith, thereâs a package for you, itâs from the Capital City.â
âCapital City?â Upon hearing those two words, Ethan Smithâs heart raced.
He took the package anxiously and opened it in a hurry.
Inside the package, there were only photos.
At first glance, there were at least a hundred of them.
And these photos were all of Emily Taylor and Ethan Smith at the amusement park.
Looking at these photos, Ethan Smith felt like both laughing and crying.
In the photos, Emily Taylorâs smile was so warm and radiant that one couldnât help but want to reach out and touch it.
Ethan Smith caressed these photos, a happy smile floating on his face.
âEmily, wait for me.â Ethan Smithâs eyes suddenly became extraordinarily determined!
After signing for the package, Ethan Smith took the photos back to his room.
He asked Edward Green to buy some glue, and then pasted all over a hundred photos on the wall.
An entire wall filled with their photos together.
Looking at these photos, Ethan Smith instantly felt energized!
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one day left before his duel with Asher
Lane.
At this time, people from all walks of life in South City had already gathered at the Lane Family residence.
âYoung Lord Lane, what is Ethan Smithâs background? He dares to cross hands with you?â someone asked.
Asher Lane took a sip of tea, a cold flash in his eyes, and then said, âA man who deserves to die!â
Hearing this, everyone couldnât help but feel a chill.
âYoung Lord Lane, does that mean this Ethan Smith is really strong?â someone else asked.
Asher Lane scoffed, âA few days ago, my subordinate Old Von fought him. He was not worth mentioning.â
This Old Von referred to the old servant who was instantly killed by Cato Cain.
Old Vonâs strength was nowhere near Asher Laneâs, so Asher Lane was fully confident in his victory.
However, what Asher Lane didnât know was that Ethan Smithâs strength had made tremendous progress in just these few days.
âWith this little ability, he dares to challenge Young Lord Lane? Young Lord Lane, just say the word, and Iâll kill him!â someone shouted from the side.
âYes, let us deal with him, thereâs no need for Young Lord Lane to do it personally! â
Asher Lane put down his teacup, looked at everyone and said lightly, âAlright, but I should remind you that his relationship with Emily Taylor from the
Taylor Family of Capital City is really unusual.â
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately fell silent.
âWho will go?â Asher Lane looked at the crowd.
Those who were just shouting their bravado were now silent.
Asher Lane casually pointed at someone and said, âYou go.â
âCough cough, Young Lord Lane, I⦠I have something to do these days. I⦠I canât make it.
âHey, Young Lord Lane, I have something at home and need to get back right away, so Iâll leave first.â
âOh my, my wife is giving birth today. I totally forgot, Young Lord Lane, Iâm leaving first..â
