After hearing Alvin Wardâs words, the scene indeed became much quieter.
The passionate crowd had all unconsciously taken a step back.
This was enough to show the Schroeder Familyâs status in Shiglance City.
Even with so many rich people, no one was willing to go against the Schroeder Family.
Alvin Ward smugly glanced at Ethan Smith and sneered, âEthan, what else can you do?â
Ethanâs eyebrows furrowed slightly, as he seemed unable to come up with a solution for a moment.
He looked at the crowd, but no one was willing to meet his gaze.
Ethan took a deep breath and said with furrowed brows, âAre we really giving up like this, or is itâ¦kill the messenger?â
Ethan never thought that he would become the one to kill the messenger.
âAlright, time is almost up,â Alvin Ward glanced at his watch. He then said triumphantly, âThe treasure is mine!â
Having said that, Alvin Ward strode towards the stone statue.
Ethan remained silent, unconsciously clenching his fists, seemingly unwilling.
At this moment, Ethanâs phone suddenly rang.
He checked the message, and saw a text message displayed on the screen:
âDear user, the account ending in XXXX in the XX bank received 50,000,000.00 yuan, with a balance of 50,001,234.10 yuan.
Could it be that this money was transferred by Emily Taylor?
Before Ethan could think more about it, another text message from a stranger arrived:
The Schroeder Family will be your second test, good luck! Iâll be waiting for you in Capital City.
Ethanâs face was instantly filled with excitement, and the matter of the stone statue was forgotten at the back of his mind.
He hurriedly called her back, but found that she had turned off her cell phone.
This reignited Ethanâs burning heart in this moment!
âEmilyâ¦â Ethan whispered while holding his phone.
Emily Taylor must be watching him from afar!
This suddenly filled Ethan with fighting spirit!
Subsequently, Ethan walked quickly towards the seller of the stone statue.
At this time, Alvin Wardâs hand had already reached out towards the statue.
Just as Alvin Ward was about to touch the statue, Ethan reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Alvin Ward frowned and looked at Ethan, saying coldly, âEthan, what are you trying to do?â
Ignoring Alvin Ward, Ethan handed his bank card to the seller.
âTwo hundred and fifty million, Iâll take it,â Ethan said coldly.
Alvin Ward scoffed, âBoss, donât listen to his nonsense, he doesnât have a penny on his card!â
The seller was also somewhat skeptical.
He had just seen everything with his own eyes that Ethan hadnât made any money.
âYouâll know if you swipe it,â Ethan reminded.
The seller nodded and took the bank card with uncertainty, tentatively inputting the amount.
âThe money has actually arrived!â In a short while, the vendor exclaimed excitedly!
Ethan took back his bank card and said lightly, âAs agreed, this statue is mine.â âOf course, of course!â The vendor nodded repeatedly.
Not being polite, Ethan put away the stone statue and put it straight into his pocket.
Alvin Wardâs face on the side was extremely cold, he stared at Ethan with gritted teeth, as a terrifying murderous spirit approached!
Ethanâs brows furrowed slightly.
From this aura, it seemed that Alvin Ward was at least a Grandmaster!
âYouâve ruined my plans several times, kid, Iâm going to kill you!â Alvin Wardâs aura grew thicker and thicker, as if he was about to take action at any moment!
Ethan looked at Alvin Ward coldly and said, âFinally canât help yourself? Go ahead and try!â
As he spoke, Ethanâs aura also surged dramatically!
The collision of the two auras instantly caused a gust of wind!
People around were affected by the fluctuation of the auras and involuntarily took two steps back.
âBuzzâ
At this moment, a very peaceful aura suddenly rippled!
This peaceful aura carried an unparalleled majesty, which directly dissolved Ethan and Alvin Wardâs auras!
âNo one is allowed to attack in the venue,â a voice came from all directions!
This couldnât help but lose Ethanâs color!
âHe actually directly suppressed my aura! â Ethanâs eyes couldnât help but sweep around!
His strength probably far exceeded Ethanâs imagination!
âEthan, Iâll spare your life for now,â Alvin Ward said with cold eyes. After throwing down these words, Alvin Ward turned and walked away.
âMaster Ward!â Leonard Schultz hurriedly called out.
But Alvin Ward didnât look back and strode out of the venue.
âWhatâ¦whatâs going on here?â A confused Leonard Schultz felt a headache coming on.
Both sides were his friends, and he couldnât help but feel torn.
Ethan took a deep breath, looked at Leonard Schultz, and said solemnly, âMr.
Schultz, are you sure that Alvin Ward is your old friend?â
Leonard Schultz nodded vigorously and said, âYes, Iâve known him for almost twenty years. Heâs gentle, mild-tempered, and never acted like this before!â âThen that means heâs not Alvin Ward,â Ethan had already guessed something.
âWhat do you mean?â Leonard Schultz asked confusedly. Ethan didnât explain, instead, he said, âIâll take you home.â
The group left the venue with hurried strides.
As soon as he left the venue, the suppression on Ethanâs body dissipated like smoke.
Ethan couldnât help but look back at the venue and whispered, âFormation
Master?â
There was only one possibility to easily suppress a martial artistâs Inner Strength and spiritual power.
It was that a huge formation had been set up here!
âItâs really amazing,â Ethan sighed.
As his experiences grew, Ethanâs understanding was also changing quietly.
Many things he had never touched before began to appear little by little in front of him.
If he hadnât started cultivating, Ethan might never have known that there were so many wonders in the world.
âLetâs go, Iâll take you back,â Ethan looked at Leonard Schultz and Ashton Nicholson.
Although the two found it a bit strange, seeing Ethanâs serious expression, they finally nodded in agreement.
As Ethan was about to leave, a woman suddenly ran out of the venue.
This woman was wearing sunglasses late at night, and her mouth was tightly wrapped in a scarf.
âDr. Ethan, did you mean it when you said you would see patients three times earlier?â The woman whispered.
Ethan nodded and said, âAs long as you pay, itâs always valid.â
The woman looked around and, upon making sure no one was around, handed
Ethan a phone number.
âDr. Ethan, please call me tomorrow, and weâll talk in detail.â
After dropping this sentence, the woman quickly ran away.
With the phone number in hand, Ethan couldnât help but smirk, âThis woman is really cautious enough, is the Schroeder Family that scary?
