âDead?â Ethan Smith couldnât help but be stunned.
So Tristin Schroeder really died?
âMiss Taylor, sheâ¦â
âShane!â Conrad Schroeder scolded, interrupting Uncle Armandoâs words. Seeing this, Uncle Armando didnât say any more.
Ethan vaguely understood something in his heart, but he didnât say anything.
He didnât know when it started, but Ethanâs heart became colder and colder.
âYou can go ahead, Iâll visit the Schroeder family when I find the time.â Ethan said.
Conrad eagerly bowed and said, âAlright, Mr. Smith, I will be waiting for you at our home.â
After they left, Ethan sat cross-legged on the bed.
Since he woke up, there was a golden light flashing in his mind.
Though the size of a grain of rice, the golden light made Ethan feel an extraordinary power.
âWhat exactly is this?â Ethan closed his eyes slightly, feeling the golden glow in his mind.
Soon, Ethan found out that the golden light seemed to move with his thoughts. âMental power?â Ethan guessed.
Could the severe blow from the Spirit Whip have caused Ethan to develop mental power?
Normally, only at the Nascent Soul Stage was one able to develop divine sense, but Ethan was currently only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
âItâs really a blessing in disguise.â Ethan couldnât help but mutter to himself.
Since waking up, Ethan felt his mental power had grown stronger by several folds.
Considering this, there was only one possibility â that the impact of the Spirit Whip on his mind had caused this effect.
After lying in bed for the whole morning, Ethan arrived at the Schroeder familyâs residence in the afternoon.
As the foremost family in Chuzzle, the strength of the Schroeder family was not to be underestimated.
Not only did they have several Grandmasters, but their assets were also spread throughout the entire province.
It was said that their assets amounted to tens of billions of dollars.
Ethanâs arrival undoubtedly caused tension among the crowd.
Everyone glared at Ethan fiercely, as if they wanted to swallow him whole. Ethan didnât pay attention and went straight into the Schroeder familyâs villa.
âMr. Smith.â Seeing Ethan, Conrad hurriedly stood up.
Ethan nodded slightly. Looking at Conrad, he said, âAs the top family of the
Schroeders, you should have plenty of medicine storage, right?â
Hearing this, Conrad shook his head, âMr. Smith, Iâve been in seclusion for three years, and our medicine storage has been completely depleted.â âThatâs a pity, indeed.â Ethan sighed lightly.
âMr. Smith, this is our familyâs assets. Please take a look.â Uncle Armando handed the prepared materials to Ethan.
Ethan took them and looked through them carefully.
âThese discounted assets are truly beyond imagination.â Ethan couldnât help but sigh as he looked at the documents.
The Schroeder familyâs reach extended to various industries, including schools and hospitals.
They held 80% of the shares in one of the prestigious schools!
This school alone brought huge annual revenues to the Schroeder family!
And Ethan would become the new owner of all these assets.
âIâll only take 50% of the Schroeder familyâs profits.â Ethan rubbed the document as he spoke.
Conrad hurriedly nodded, âThank you, Mr. Smith!â
Being able to keep 50% was already a great fortune for Conrad.
âOh, release Edward Green. Heâs locked up in the Martial Arts Association. Also, release everyone else who was jailed for personal grudges.â Ethan looked at Conrad as he said this.
âYes, master. Iâll call the Martial Arts Association right away.â Conrad hastily nodded.
After that, Ethan got up and left the Schroeder family.
After leaving the Schroeder residence, Ethan drove straight to the Martial Arts Associationâs prison.This time, no one in the Martial Arts Association dared to obstruct Ethan Smith, and everyone was fawning over him.
Ethan Smith waited at the door for a moment, and Edward Green soon emerged from the Martial Arts Association.
As soon as he saw Ethan Smith, he excitedly rushed over.
âMr. Smith, I knew you must be fine!â Edward Green said cheerfully.
Ethan Smith patted his shoulder and said, âEnough, letâs get going. I donât want to stay here another minute.â
âOkay!â Edward Green nodded vigorously.
After leaving the Martial Arts Association, the two of them found a place to eat.
Edward Green wolfed down the food during this meal.
During his time at the Martial Arts Association, Edward Green rarely had a full meal.
After finishing their meal, Ethan Smith casually asked, âWerenât you looking for your sister? Where is she now?â
Edward Green sighed and said, âI havenât seen my sister yet; I was locked up before I could.â
Ethan Smith chuckled and said, âLet your sister stay in Shiglance City. The educational resources are better here anyway.â
Somewhere along the journey in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Ethan Smith increasingly understood the importance of resources.
The same talent growing up in different environments would yield entirely different results.
Edward Green nodded and said, âOkay.â
âIâll go with you to pick up your sister tomorrow,â Ethan Smith laughed. Edward Green immediately agreed, âOkay!â
Immediately after, Edward Green took out his phone and sent a message to his sister in advance.
The following evening.
Ethan Smith and Edward Green got in their car and headed towards the school.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The school where Edward Greenâs sister attended was called Reese Primary School, a prestigious school in Chuzzle.
Most of the students here were either rich or noble, even Clare Richardson was once a student of this school.
Upon reaching the entrance, it happened to be time for the children to be let out of school.
The entrance was filled with luxury cars, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces could be seen everywhere.
As soon as the car stopped, Edward Greenâs face changed slightly.
He pointed at the entrance and said, âThatâs my sister!â
Turning his head, he saw a 11 or 12-year-old little girl standing at the entrance with her head down.
In front of her stood a fat woman, pointing and scolding at the little girl non-stop.
Upon seeing this scene, Edward Green became anxious.
Before the car came to a full stop, he hurriedly jumped out and ran over.
Ethan Smith frowned, parked the car properly, and followed along.
âYou little bitch, hurry up and apologize to my son!â The fat woman pointed at Erin Green and cursed.
Erin kept her head down, not daring to say a word.
âMaâam, what⦠whatâs going on?â Edward Green hurriedly walked over and protected his sister behind him.
The fat woman glared at Edward Green and cursed, âWhatâs it to you? Whatâs your relationship with this little bitch?â
âSheâs my sister,â Edward Green explained as politely as possible.
The fat woman eyed Edward Green and said sarcastically, âOh, sheâs your sister? Do you know that this little bitch bullied my son?â
âImpossible, my sister would never bully anyone! Moreover, how could she, a little girl, stand up to your son?â Edward Green glanced at the fat womanâs little chubby boy and couldnât help but frown.
âHow is it not possible? Enough of your nonsense, let this little bitch apologize to my son now!â
The little boy beside the fat woman even came over and kicked Erin, then made a face at her.
Edward Greenâs expression changed slightly. He crouched down and whispered, âErin, what really happened?â
Erin shook her head, not saying a word, but her eyes were filled with fear.
âJust say whatâs on your mind; donât be afraid, no one is going to do anything to you.â At this moment, Ethan Smith walked over.
He patted Erinâs head, smiling as he spoke..
