Translator: 549690339

Ethan Smith’s behavior left everyone wide-eyed in astonishment!

He didn’t just hit Miles Schroeder, but he’s also taking him away?

Could there actually be such a bold person in Chuzzle?

The entire bar fell silent, everyone frozen in their tracks. Only after Ethan Smith had left did they snap back to reality!

“This…this can’t be real…”

“Miles Schroeder was actually taken away?”

“This Ethan Smith is way too arrogant. The Schroeder Family is definitely going to go ballistic this time!”

“Ah, young people really don’t think about the consequences of their actions.” “Just wait and see, the drama is about to start.”

Richardson watched Ethan Smith’s retreating figure with mixed feelings in his heart.

Ashton Nicholson too had a bitter expression, the development of things had gone far beyond their expectations.

No one had thought that Ethan Smith would act this way.

At this point, Ethan Smith had already stuffed Miles Schroeder into the car and sped away.

On the road, Miles Schroeder gritted his teeth and said, “Ethan Smith, you are the most arrogant person I’ve ever met!”

Ethan Smith paid no attention, proceeding to just drive.

“Ethan Smith, let me tell you, the Schroeder Family will never let this go! They’ll tear you to pieces!” Miles Schroeder shouted hoarsely.

Ethan Smith raised his hand and slapped it over Miles Schroeder’s mouth.

Miles Schroeder’s lips were instantly split open, dripping with blood.

“Say another useless word, and I’ll smash your mouth, so you won’t be able to speak for the rest of your life,” Ethan Smith spoke indifferently.

Miles Schroeder felt a lump in his throat, not daring to utter a word.

Because he believed that the madman in front of him would do as he claimed!

The car sped along the way, and Ethan Smith took Miles Schroeder to a cemetery in the suburbs.

The place was eerily deserted and desolate, without a single person to be seen within miles.

Upon seeing the cemetery, Miles Schroeder started shaking with terror!

“Ethan…Ethan Smith, don’t kill me, my family will surely exchange me for herbs…” Miles Schroeder said fearfully.

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow. “And if they don’t come, I’ll just bury you here.”

Miles Schroeder shivered and almost fainted.

For a pampered young master like him, when had he ever suffered like this!

Thereafter, Ethan Smith found some ropes, tied up Miles Schroeder, and ignored him.

He came to the cemetery because he wanted to verify if he could really cultivate by absorbing dark energy.

The area was desolate and filled with graves, naturally rich in dark energy.

Ethan Smith sat down cross-legged. He tried to absorb the dark energy around him, the same way he would absorb qi.

The dark energy was as cold as ice, chilling his bones as it concentrated around him.

But to Ethan Smith’s surprise, the dark energy actually flowed into his body!

However, soon enough, Ethan Smith’s expression changed slightly.

When the dark energy met the qi inside Ethan Smith’s body, a massive collision occurred.

In an instant, Ethan Smith felt agonising pain in his abdomen, as if his dantian was about to explode!

“It hurts so much…” Ethan Smith clutched his stomach, howling in pain on the ground.

Dark energy kept rushing in from all around, with increasing amounts it intensified Ethan Smith’s pain.

This pain was different from a regular stomach ache. It was an extreme torment, both freezing cold and burning hot!

Ethan Smith gritted his teeth tightly and tried to bear the pain with his strong will.

However, the pain was too intense, Ethan Smith couldn’t finally bear it. He fainted and lay on the ground.

The endless dark energy still rushed towards him. With Ethan Smith at the center, it slowly condensed, eventually frosting his body.

“You… you better not die. Who’s going to save me if you die!” Miles Schroeder yelled hurriedly.

But no matter how he shouted, Ethan Smith did not respond at all.

This utterly overwhelmed Miles Schroeder as he looked around at the gloomy surroundings and couldn’t help but shiver in fear.

Meanwhile, Shiglance City was in an uproar.

Miles Schroeder had been kidnapped, for the first time ever.

The news spread rapidly, like a bird in flight, reaching every corner of Shiglance City!

Nearly everyone was discussing the matter.

“Ethan Smith has taken this too far, daring to lay a hand on the Schroeder Family! ”

“It’s expected. Achieving success at a young age can lead to overconfidence.”

“Yes, he first won over the Lane Family, overpowered the old-school martial arts Grandmaster Keith Moore, and even became the president of the Traditional Medicine Association. With such achievements, how could he not be arrogant?”

“It’s a shame that he messed with the wrong people this time.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keith Moore sat in his enormous living room, a concerned look on his face.

“Ethan Smith is the type who fears neither heaven nor earth.” Keith took a deep breath.

“That’s the Schroeder Family, the only major power in Shiglance City. Who has dared to challenge the authority of the Schroeder Family over the years?”

The person beside Keith Moore nodded in agreement, “Mr. Moore, it’s in our best interest to completely sever ties with Ethan Smith, so we won’t be caught in the crossfire.”

Keith Moore fell silent, sighing repeatedly.

At this time, William Richardson, bearing generous gifts, arrived at the

Schroeder Family home.

The Schroeder Family enjoyed unique status in Chuzzle, and naturally, their industry was massive.

The many people they maintained within their enormous manor were all experts, practicing day and night.

Richardson, arm in arm with the gifts, made his way to the living room. Upon entering, he saw Miles’s brother, Tristin Schroeder, sitting there sipping tea.

There were several businessmen standing in front of him, seemingly in a business negotiation.

Tristin Schroeder was different from Miles Schroeder, where Miles was merely a elegantly dressed young man, Tristin was the future successor of the Schroeder Family.

Not only did Tristin possess outstanding business acumen, he was also a genius in martial arts.

It was said that he had reached the Grandmaster realm at the age of eighteen, and his current strength was immeasurable.

Seeing Richardson, Tristin waved his hand, indicating to the others to leave. Then, in a pleasant tone, Tristin said, “Chief Richardson, what brings you here?”

Seeing Tristin’s attitude, Richardson couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Could it be that Tristin did not know about Miles being kidnapped?

“Tristin, where is your father?” Chief Richardson asked.

Tristin smiled and said, “My father has been in seclusion for three years. I’m now the one calling the shots in the Schroeder Family.”

Richardson relaxed a little.

He smiled and said, “Tristin, I’ve come here to talk about something with you.” Tristin nodded and said, “Just tell me what it is.”

Richardson remained silent for a while, then shared the entire story with Tristin.

Upon hearing everything, Tristin’s face instantly turned cold.

“You’re saying my brother was kidnapped?” Tristin’s tone was laced with a certain chilling quality.

Richardson hurriedly tried to explain, “This is just a misunderstanding. I suggest that we set up a meeting to resolve this misunderstanding.”

Tristin sighed lightly and said, “I’m aware of my brother’s temperament. That wastrel knows only to cause trouble outside!”

Hearing this, Richardson felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He said with a smile, “Miles is still young, don’t be too hard on him.”

Tristin nodded slightly. He then looked at Richardson, and the conversation took a turn, ‘Who kidnapped my brother?”

Richardson’s face changed slightly, and he cursed softly to himself.

Tristin indifferently stated, “Though my brother’s character leaves much to be desired, he still represents our entire Schroeder Family!”

“Anyone who dares to harm a member of my Schroeder Family is challenging the status and dignity of our family! Could it be that the Schroeder Family has lost its power in Chuzzle?”
