Kathleen Hansen was startled and quickly moved aside, afraid to touch the jade pendant.
Ethan Smith flicked a finger, and the jade pendant shattered instantly.
âDonât worry, Iâll get you another protective jade pendant.â Ethan said. After all, the jade pendant did bring some benefits to Ethan despite the events.
It would be unfair not to compensate her.
Kathleen hurriedly said, âEthan Smith, thank you for helping me againâ¦â At this point, Ethan remembered Clare Richardsonâs matter.
âBy the way, I heard youâre going to have a concert in Shiglance City soon?â Ethan asked.
Upon mentioning this topic, Kathleen instantly became energized.
She said somewhat proudly, âWhat, you know about it too? I thought you didnât follow celebrities ! â
Ethan glanced at her and said indifferently, âItâs my friend who wants tickets to your concert.â
âYour friend wants?â Kathleen felt a bit disappointed.
âIf you want, of course, I have no problem. But your friend, thatâs another story,â Kathleen said on purpose.
âOh, forget it then.â Ethan stood up and was about to return to his room.
Kathleen stomped her feet in anger and glared at Ethan, âYou really donât understand humor at all! Are you like this with all girls?â âMore or less, with one exception.â Ethan smiled.
That one exception, of course, was Emily Taylor.
In front of Emily, Ethan always unconsciously acted like a child.
Perhaps this was the feeling of being cherished.
âForget it, forget it.â Kathleen seemed deflated.
âWhen your friend comes, let me know. Iâll take her through the VIP passage.â
Ethan nodded and said, âThanks, then. I owe you a favor.â
âPah, youâve helped me so many times already. This little favor means nothing,â Kathleen said.
Ethan smiled and didnât say much more.
Kathleen didnât linger and quickly disappeared into the night.
The next morning.
Ethan ran a few laps around the neighborhood. He had to admit that the morning air was indeed refreshing.
When he returned home, it was just past eight oâclock in the morning. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Clare Richardson waiting for him.
âDid you get the tickets yet?â As soon as Clare saw Ethan, she excitedly ran up to him.
Ethan shook his head, âNo.â
âAh?â Clare became anxious instantly.
âThereâs only one day left until the concert! Iâve been bragging to my classmates about this, where would I put my face if you couldnât get them?â Clare pouted.
Ethan rolled his eves, âWhy do vou young people always like to act so
self-important? Donât worry, although I didnât get the tickets, I can take you through the VIP passage.â
âReally?â Clare was instantly overjoyed.
She even jumped up, trying to plant a kiss on Ethanâs face.
But unfortunately, Ethan dodged it.
âAlright, if thereâs nothing else, go home quickly. Donât waste my time,â Ethan said.
âYou better not forget tomorrowâ¦â Clare mumbled.
Ethan didnât respond, and when he returned home, Edward Green approached him with a mobile phone in his hand.
âMr. Smith,â Edward furrowed his brows, and his face didnât look good.
Ethan glanced at him and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â Edward took a deep breath and said, âAdonis Williams sent a message.â âOh?â Ethan raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.
Edward continued, âAdonis Williams said heâs giving you three days to go to the Williams family and accept your fate. If you donât go, he will personally come to Chuzzle.â
Ethan sneered, âThis Adonis Williams has quite an attitude, demanding me to go and accept my doom?â
Edward frowned and said, âMr. Smith, this Adonis Williams is not simple, his strength is far above people like Conrad Schroeder.ââRumor has it that he was already a Grandmaster of the Fifth Rank three years ago, and his current strength is unfathomable!â
âThere are even rumors that heâs ranked in the top five in River North Region!â
Ethan Smith touched his chin and muttered, âSo heâs not even number one⦠Whatâs there to be so arrogant about then ?â
Edward Green was speechless.
He sighed and said, âMr. Smith, you better hurry up and think of a solution.â âI do need to come up with a plan,â Ethan thought silently.
The strength lent to him by the Earth Fiend Valley Ancestor wouldnât last until then.
With Ethanâs current strength, it would be difficult for him to defeat Adonis Williams.
âIt seems like setting up the formation in advance is the only way,â Ethan thought to himself.
Another day passed.
Ethanâs life had been quite leisurely for the past two days. Although his reputation preceded him, nobody came to challenge him, nor did anyone seek to join his ranks.
Perhaps due to the presence of Adonis Williams, everyone was waiting.
In the afternoon,
Clare Richardson called Ethan.
She anxiously asked, âWhy havenât you arrived yet? Have you forgotten about
Ethan scratched his head.
He really had forgotten about it.
âIâm on my way now,â Ethan said.
The concert venue was Shiglance City Stadium.
Ethan raced all the way and quickly arrived at the scene.
What surprised him was the overwhelming crowd, even involving the relevant personnel to maintain order.
Almost the entire street was filled with people, some selling things and others waiting.
âDo celebrities really have such a huge appeal?â Ethan hadnât expected this.
He had no choice but to call Clare.
Atter parking the car, Clare hurriedly ran over.
There was also a little girl around her age with her.
The girl was dressed quite stylishly, with a small tattoo on her collarbone â a clear sign of a rebellious teenager.
âClare, is this the brother you were talking about? He doesnât look that impressive, just driving an old Audi. Can he handle it?â The girl eyed Ethan as she spoke.
Clareâs face went dark as she said somewhat speechlessly, âBig brother, do you know what an RS7 is? This is a performance car.â
âEven if itâs a performance car, itâs still an old Audi. My friends all drive Porsches!â The girl said proudly.
Clare didnât bother arguing with her and just asked Ethan, âWhen can you bring us in?â
Ethan thought for a moment and said, âIâll give Kathleen Hansen a call.â
âCall Kathleen Hansen? Wow, uncle, youâre really good at bragging. Do you think she would even notice you?â The girl rolled her eyes.
Even Clare found it a little hard to believe.
âEthan, youâre bragging a bit too much, arenât you?â Clare muttered. Ethan smiled and said, âJust wait and see.â
At that moment, two young men approached from not too far away.
âMaya, are you guys here to watch the concert too?â One of the young men asked.
The girl called Maya quickly responded, âAnthony Hansen? What brings you here? Did you manage to get tickets?â
Anthony Hansen said indifferently, âWith my connections, getting a few tickets is no problem.â
âWow, Anthony is so amazing!â Maya immediately said excitedly.
After that, she took a disdainful glance at Clare and said, âLook at Anthony, and then look at your friend.â
âNot only does he not have tickets, but he also keeps claiming to know Kathleen Hansen. Itâs ridiculous.â
âKnow Kathleen Hansen? As far as I know, Kathleen doesnât have any friends in Chuzzle.â Anthony said indifferently.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ethan and furrowed his brow, saying,
âItâs actually you?!â
