Seeing that Ethan Smith didnât speak, Violet Miller continued, âYou must have been thrown out again. Did my sister even give you any money?â
Ethan remained silent.
When he was previously living with the Johnson family, he was often thrown out by Sylvia Johnson for trivial things, without getting any money.
Initially, Ethan couldnât understand why Sylvia would get so furious over simple matters.
Only later did he realize that it was to create opportunities for her to spend time with Gary Brown.
âForget it, youâre pitiful. Why donât you just join us,â Violet muttered. Ethan glanced at her and said, âNo need.â
âTsk, tsk. Are you embarrassed? If you donât have any money, how are you going to survive? Thereâs no point in pretending to be strong for anyone,â Violet dismissed him with a humph.
Ethan wasnât in the mood for a verbal spar with Violet. All his thoughts were focused on the upcoming Water Dragon Cave event.
âYouâre here for Younger Lord of Lane Familyâs martial arts contest, right?â Violet continued to ask.
Ethan looked at her and nodded, âYes.â
âTsk.â Violet couldnât help but pout.
âWhy is there such a difference between those named Ethan Smith?â Violet snorted.
âViolet, is this your friend?â At this moment, a charming young man approached them from a distance.
Seeing the young man, Violet and her friends hurriedly went to greet him.
âDarwin, you came too,â they shouted.
Darwin Hebert slightly nodded and said, âYes, I canât miss such an exciting event, and Iâm friends with Younger Lord of Lane Family.â
âWow, youâre friends with Younger Lord of Lane Family?â Hearing this, Violet and the othersâ eyes lit up instantly.
âYes, weâve known each other for many years. You could say weâre old acquaintancesâ, Darwin replied, boasting a little.
âWow, Darwin, youâre amazing!â Violet excitedly exclaimed.
With that, Violet grinned and said, âDarwin, the area is blocked off and weâre not allowed in. Since youâre friends with Younger Lord of Lane Family, could you take us in?â
âYeah, Darwin, itâs too far to see anything from here!â Violetâs classmates also yelled in agreement.
At this, Darwinâs brow furrowed slightly.
In reality, his relationship with Asher Lane wasnât that close. Theyâd only attended the same dinner party, and it wasnât even certain if Asher remembered him.
But with everyone watching, Darwin braced himself and said, âNo problem, Iâll just need to greet him, since weâre friends.â
âWow, thatâs amazing!â Violet and the others excitedly cheered.
Ethan glanced at him but remained silent.
For spoilt rich kids like these, Ethan never had any sympathy or liking.
âAh, the contest should be starting in about an hour, right?â Violetâs classmate Selina Burton remarked.
âI donât know where this Ethan Smith gets his courage to challenge Younger
Lord of Lane Family.â
âYeah, truly doesnât know his own limits.â
As the group talked amongst themselves, Darwin said nonchalantly, âThis Ethan Smith isnât simple. From what I know, he comes from a great family in Capital City.â
âA great family in Capital City?â At this, Violet and Selina looked somewhat shocked.
Darwin nodded and said lightly, âYes, itâs a very powerful family.â
âNo wonder he dares to challenge Younger Lord of Lane Family,â Violet suddenly realized.
âHumph, whatâs the use of having a powerful background? A martial arts contest isnât about who has a stronger background,â Selina snorted.
Darwin smiled and said, âAs far as I know, this Ethan Smithâs capabilities are not ordinary.â
Upon hearing this, Ethan himself couldnât help but turn around and look over.
Darwin said nonchalantly, âTo tell you the truth, I have a close relationship with Ethan Smith.â
âWow, Darwin, youâre so incredible! You even know Ethan Smith!â Violetâs eyes were filled with admiration as her mouth gaped open.
Darwin nodded slightly, âYes, weâve dined together and shared drinks.â
âNo one can compare to Darwin! You know so many important people!â Selina gave him a big thumbs up.
Darwin chuckled and said, âItâs nothing, just business connections through our families, nothing worth mentioning.â
Listening to Darwin boast, Ethan couldnât bear it any longer.
He walked up to Darwin and asked with a smile, âSo you say you know Ethan Smith?â
Darwin glanced at Ethan and said indifferently, âOf course, and he even calls me Darwin.â
Ethan sneered and said, âThen how come I donât know you?â
