The two keenly eyed the Marrow Generating Pill, their gazes filled with curiosity.
âThis tiny pill is capable of solving an international problem? Itâs simply unbelievable,â Peter murmured.
His words were full of skepticism, but Ethan Smith paid them no mind.
If he hadnât witnessed everything himself, Ethan might not have believed it too.
Then, Ethan walked over to Nikhil Hansen with an Impulse Protection Pill in hand.
Placing his hand on Nikhilâs chest, Nikhilâs mouth slowly opened after a while.
Ethan quickly popped the Impulse Protection Pill into Nikhilâs mouth, using his own qi to guide the pill into his body.
âDone,â Ethan said, looking at Kathleen Hansen.
âIâve done everything I can, now itâs up to you,â Ethan told her.
Kathleen nodded, replying, âLetâs go. Dinner is ready, we can chat over the meal.â
âNo need for dinner.â Ethan shook his head.
âI have to return right away.â
Kathleen exclaimed in surprise, âYouâre in a rush? I was planning to take you out for some fun.â
Ethan muttered, âI donât know why, but I have a bad feeling.â
This feeling was so strong, it put Ethan on high alert.
When Kathleen saw the determination in Ethanâs departure, she did not insist further.
They followed Ethan out of the villa.
Ethan then collected his cellphone.
The moment he switched it on, he saw several incoming messages.
There were messages from Leonard Schultz, William Richardson, and Ashton Nicholson.
âEthan, Conrad Schroeder has emerged and has ascended into the Grandmaster Realm. Do not return,â William Richardson said in his message.
âEthan, did you run away? The entire Chuzzle is buzzing about it. Anyone related to you has been suppressed by the Schroeder family. Ashton Nicholson is even heavily injuredâ¦â Leonard Schultzâs message read. Upon reading the messages, Ethanâs expression changed drastically.
âConradâ¦Chose this moment to come out,â Ethan said in a low voice.
He urgently turned to Kathleen and said, âI need to return immediately. Does your family have a private jet?â
Kathleen rolled her eyes, âA private jet? Do you think we are the richest family in the country?â
Ethan had no time to joke around and quickly urged, âThen quickly help me book a ticket, the faster the better!â
âWhat happened?â Matias Howe asked in shock.
Ethan waved his hand, not ottering any explanation.
He then got into Kathleenâs car and raced towards the airport.
En route, Ethan made a phone call to William Richardson.
In no time, the call was answered.
On the other side, William sounded anxious, âEthan, where have you been the past few days? Why didnât you leave any messages?â
Ethan answered gravely, âI was caught up in something. Whatâs the situation in
Chuzzle?â
William was silent for a moment before sighing, âIn any case, just donât come back for now. Iâll try to mediate as much as possible.â
âNo.â Ethanâs face looked grim.
âWilliam, I hope you can tell me the truth.â Ethanâs tone was frosty.
At the other end, William could only sigh, âConrad is looking for you. Anyone related to you has been suppressed. Ashton is in a vegetative state, Leonard is temporarily suspended, and now⦠Conrad has headed to River City.â
Ethanâs face turned pale instantly!
Anger, instantly surged his chest!
âEthan, just donât come back for now,â William warned gravely.
Ethan gritted his teeth. He tried to resist his anger and said, âWilliam, I need a favor.â
âWhat is it?â William consented.
âGo tell Conrad that I will take full responsibility for my own actions. It has nothing to do with others. Iâll be back in River City in no more than a day.â Ethanâs voice was icy cold.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Uncle William on the other end was immediately horrified and said anxiously, âHave you gone mad? Conrad Schroeder is now a genuine Grandmaster level martial artist, coming back would mean courting death!â
âEven if I die, I wonât let others die in my place!â Ethan Smith said coldly.
âAnd besides, he is merely one Conrad Schroeder. Itâs not like he can certainly kill me.â
Uncle William on the other end wanted to persuade him further, but Ethan Smith was resolute.
Helplessly, Uncle William could only agree.
After hanging up the phone, Ethan Smith looked at Kathleen Hansen and said, âCould you drive a bit faster, please?
In River City.
News of Conrad Schroederâs arrival was instantly spread.
The higher-ups, in an attempt to keep things calm, immediately shut down Ethan Smithâs factory.
People associated with Ethan Smith back then were in panic at this moment.
âBrother Ray, I heard that Conrad Schroeder is cold-blooded and extremely ruthless, should we hide for a bit?â One of Ray Waltersâ subordinates spoke gravely in his office. Ray Waltersâ face looked extremely harshHe was scared deep down.
If it came to who was closest to Ethan Smith in River City, it would be him, Ray Walters.
It is very likely that Conrad Schroeder would use him as a warning to others! âWe cannot.â After much deliberation, Ray Walters shook his head.
âIf I leave, others would end up suffering.â
Ray Waltersâ underling muttered, âBrother Ray, even Ethan Smith has fled, what are we staying here for? That Ethan Smith is truly a heartless guyâ¦â
Ray Walters glared at him and reprimanded, âDonât spout nonsense! I believe Mr. Smith is not that kind of person!â
But despite saying that, he was still worried.
In the recent days, news from Chuzzle kept coming to his ears.
Anyone, even those with the slightest connection to Ethan Smith, had been severely beaten.
Yet there was no appearance of Ethan Smith.
Without a doubt, that must be fabrication.
âAs the ancients say, opportunity comes with risks.â Ray Walters clenched his teeth.
âIf I can firmly stand by Mr. Smithâs side this time, that would be the greatest opportunity for me!â Ray Walters stands up, fully determined.
For him, reaching where he was today was already his limit.
But who doesnât have ambitions? Who doesnât want to hold great power?
The Johnson house.
Simon Johnson and Brenda Johnson were sitting at home watching TV.
At their level, they naturally didnât know anything about this Conrad Schroeder thing.
They were eating a watermelon while watching a TV drama.
Just then, a Rolls-Royce Ghost stopped at their doorstep.
As the car came to a halt, Conrad Schroeder and Uncle Shane stepped out.
âLeader, this is Ethan Smithâs birth family.â Uncle Shane said.
Conrad Schroeder snorted and said, âSince itâs his birth family, they must be very important to Ethan Smith. Letâs start with them.â
âYes.â Uncle Shane nodded slightly.
The two men pushed open the door of the Johnsons home, and strode right in. As soon as they entered, Brenda Johnson stared at Conrad Schroeder.
âWho are you? Who let you in?â Brenda Johnson asked, frowning.
Conrad Schroeder glanced at them and asked indifferently, âIs this Ethan
Smithâs home?â
As soon as Ethan Smith was mentioned, Brenda Johnson was so angry she could hardly speak.
âYou must be friends with Ethan Smith, right? Iâm telling you, get out of here right now!â Brenda Johnson said angrily..
