âGood, good!â Asher Lane nodded frantically.
âTomorrow at 8 a.m., Iâll be waiting for you at my home. If you donât come, you are a coward!â Asher Lane sneered. Ethan Smith nodded and said, âAlright, see you tomorrow.â
Having said that, he turned and left.
This time, all the spotlight was gathered on Ethan Smith himself, not on Emily Taylor.
Taking a few steps forward, Ethan Smith suddenly stopped and looked in Ashton Nicholsonâs direction.
Ashton Nicholsonâs face changed suddenly, and his heart thumped!
But Ethan Smith didnât say anything and left with Edward Green, Violet Miller, and others.
Ashton Nicholson stared at Ethan Smithâs retreating figure and muttered under his breath, âDid Iâ¦actually get scared just nowâ¦?â
As they walked out of the Water Dragon Cave, everyone parted a path for Ethan Smith.
This day was destined to be extraordinary for Ethan Smith.
âMr. Smith, you canât go tomorrow. Youâve made the Lane family lose face, and they will not let you off easily!â Edward Green said anxiously.
Ethan Smith sneered, âDo you think I would be afraid of them?â
Edward Green trembled and said, âMr. Smith, I know that your strength has exceeded my imagination, but the Lane family is not that simple. Theyâ¦â âGuess how much strength I used just now?â Ethan Smith interrupted Edward Green.
Edward Green was startled and quickly asked, âMr. Smith, you didnât use your full strength just now?â
Ethan Smith snorted, âI only used 30% of my strength.â
This time, Edward Green was so shocked that he couldnât speak.
He couldnât figure out how a Ninth-rank Inner Strength practitioner could thrash an Inner Strength Master by merely using 30% of his power.
âBrother-in-law, youâre too awesome! Youâre like my idol!â Violet Miller chattered non-stop along the way.
Ethan Smith was silent and didnât want to pay attention to Violet Miller.
âBrother-in-law, why donât we go eat?â Violet Miller said with a smile.
Ethan Smith rubbed his stomach. Itâs true, after being active for half a day, he was feeling quite hungry.
âOkay.â So, Ethan Smith agreed to eat.
âHow about we go for hot pot? Iâll treat!â Violet Miller confidently suggested.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, âWhatever works.â
Soon, they arrived at a hot pot restaurant.
Violet Miller had been living in South City for a while, and her family was quite wealthy, so she had plenty of pocket money.
As soon as she entered, she shouted, âWhatever you want to eat today, Iâm treating! â
Ethan Smith didnât hold back; his appetite had been surprisingly big recently, so he ordered a table full of meat.
âSpeaking of which, brother-in-law, my sister must be really happy with how outstanding you are now, right?â Violet Miller said with a chuckle. Ethan Smith glanced at her and said, âYour sister and I are already divorced.â
âDivorced?â Violet Miller was taken aback and slammed her hand on the table.
âWhat happened? Why did you get divorced?â Violet Miller looked quite concerned.
She didnât want to lose such an outstanding brother-in-law.
Ethan Smith didnât explain and simply said, âYou should ask your sister.â
Violet Miller said nothing, but Selina Burton, who was beside her, seemed a little excited.
Young girls always liked heroic men, and Selina Burton was no exception.
Ever since she had seen Ethan Smithâs performance, she couldnât help but be intrigued.
After dinner, Violet Miller suggested going out to play, but Ethan Smith declined.
He and Edward Green found a hotel to stay in temporarily.
âMr. Smith, you still need to be careful tomorrow.â Lying next to Ethan Smith, Edward Green reminded him once again.
âEnough, just go to sleep, I know what Iâm doing.â Ethan Smith yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Edward Green sighed quietly and said no more.
Ethan Smith slept soundly, but the Lane family was in chaos at this time.
Blaze Lane, Asher Laneâs father, had an iron-blue face and was filled with anger.
âYou useless thing, youâve brought shame to our family!â Blaze Lane said angrily.
Asher Lane was silent and didnât dare to say more.
This time, the Lane family had indeed lost face.
âMaster, we should think about what to do next.â A secretary whispered.
Blaze Lane said coldly, âOf course. If he can just walk out of South City like this, thereâs no need for the Lane family to stay here any longer!â
âBesides⦠The followers we support in the Lane family arenât just eating free meals!â Blaze Lane said with a dark expression.
The Lane family supported many followers, including some experts.
They spent a lot of money on these people with the aim of getting their help during crucial moments.
âBring Aidan Ortega to me,â Blaze Lane ordered coldly.
The secretary nodded quickly and said, âYes.â
After the secretary left, Asher Lane couldnât help but remind his father, âDad, that Ethan Smith has an unusual relationship with the Taylor family. If something happens to him in the Lane family, the Taylor family wonât let us offâ¦â
Blaze Laneâs face changed again, and he scolded, âWhy the hell didnât you say that earlier?â
Asher Laneâs mouth opened, but he didnât dare say more.
âThe Taylor family, the Taylor familyâ¦â Blaze Laneâs face looked uneasy, and he didnât know what to do.
After a moment of thought, Blaze Lane sighed, âWeâll act according to the situation tomorrow.â
Besides the Lane family, many forces and clans in South City were watching everything in secret.
The ability Ethan Smith had shown made them want to win him over, but no one made a rushed move.
They were waiting to see if Ethan Smith could safely walk out of the Lane familyâs territory.
If he died in the Lane family, there would be no need to win him over.
The next day.
Ethan Smith slept until morning.
He had to admit that he slept extremely well.
âDamn, that was so comfortable.â Ethan Smith stretched lazily before looking at the sleeping Edward Green.
After some thought, Ethan Smith ultimately decided not to disturb Edward Greenâs sleep.
He tidied up quickly and headed towards the Lane family residence.
At this time, the Lane familyâs large villa was filled with people.
These people were all followers of the Lane family.
Blaze Lane brewed a cup of tea and patiently waited for Ethan Smithâs arrival.
âDad, Aidan Ortega is here,â Asher Lane whispered as he approached.
At a glance, they saw a man who was about 6 feet tall and looked like a small mountain come in.
The moment Aidan Ortega entered, everyone felt a little suffocated.
âMr. Lane.â Aidan Ortega nodded to Blaze Lane.
Blaze Lane waved his hand and said, âAidan, just follow my lead later.â âAlright, Mr. Lane.â Aidan Ortega nodded and stepped aside.
âMaybe Ethan Smith wonât even dare to come,â someone nearby laughed.
Blaze Lane couldnât help secretly hoping so.
That would be for the best.
If Ethan Smith didnât show up, the Lane family could save some face and avoid taking risks with the Taylor family.
However, just at that moment, Ethan Smith confidently entered the scene. His expression calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of tension or unease..
