The concert hall was filled with commotion. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Kathleen Hansen finally took the stage.

It had to be said that Kathleen Hansen on stage was indeed radiant and inspiring.

Luckily, Ethan Smith was surrounded by Kathleen’s friends, so besides Clare Richardson, no one else was shouting crazily.

Ethan had no interest in such concerts, so he simply closed his eyes and focused on the Inner Strength within his body.

Under Ethan’s guidance, his divine sense was released.

By now, Ethan’s divine sense had grown even stronger. Although it couldn’t surpass Evelyn Norton, it was easy for him to cover the whole concert.

“Hmm?”

Soon, Ethan felt a strong aura within the concert hall.

“A martial artist is actually here to watch the concert?” Ethan scratched his chin and subconsciously looked back.

Following the direction of his divine sense, Ethan looked not far away.

To his surprise, the person was also looking at him.

As their eyes met, the other party quickly looked away, focusing on the stage.

Ethan frowned slightly.

The other party was a man in his thirties, seemingly ordinary, but with a strong aura.

Ethan speculated that the man was at least a Grandmaster, if not at the Grandmaster Peak.

“Who could it be?” Ethan scratched his chin, feeling puzzled.

However, Ethan didn’t think too much about it. A mere Grandmaster wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

Time flew by, and two hours passed like a fleeting moment.

The performance on the stage was coming to an end.

Kathleen Hansen was performing the farewell ceremony on stage, and many fans below the stage started to cry.

Even Clare Richardson’s eyes were red, looking extremely reluctant.

Ethan rolled his eyes and said, “Come on, you’ll have plenty of chances to see her.’

Clare Richardson rubbed her eyes and muttered, “You don’t understand.” The concert ended amidst the shouts from the audience.

As soon as it was over, Ethan couldn’t wait to drag Clare Richardson back home.

Although Clare was reluctant, she was still pulled out by Ethan.

It was a good thing they left early, or they might have been stuck in traffic forever.

After sending Clare home, Ethan drove back to his own house.

Currently, Ethan had too many things going on – the invitation from the battle zone and the challenge from Adonis Williams were all giving him a headache.

As soon as he arrived home, Ethan prepared to set up another formation to face Adonis Williams.

However, just as Ethan arrived home, he saw two people standing at the door. The two were young and old – the young one was the person Ethan had encountered at the concert.

Ethan’s brow furrowed as he approached and said in a deep voice, “What do you want with me?”

The young man smiled and said, “Mr. Smith, we meet again.”

“Who are you?” Ethan asked expressionlessly.

“Hehe, Mr. Smith, don’t you remember killing one of our members?” The elderly man said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Ethan’s brow furrowed even more.

Killed one of their members? Why didn’t he remember it?

“Mr. Smith, it seems that you have forgotten,” the elderly man said calmly.

“Our member was brutally killed in South City, all thanks to Mr. Smith’s masterpiece,” the elderly man said with a sarcastic smile.

Ethan finally remembered.

Back in South City, Ethan had helped Caesar Nolan kill an enemy named

Scarface.

Scarface had said that their organization would seek revenge.

But Ethan didn’t expect it to come so late, so late that he had almost forgotten about it.

“Are you here for revenge?” Ethan narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently.The old man laughed loudly and said, “Mr. Smith, you’re wrong. Such ants are not worth mentioning when they die.”

“Oh?” Doubt filled Ethan Smith’s face once again.

“What do you mean?” asked Ethan Smith.

The old man casually replied, “Shall we talk in our room?

“I don’t think that’s necessary. Just say what you have to say right here.” Ethan Smith said emotionlessly.

Ethan naturally had no interest in the organizations engaged in deceit and exploitation.

The old man didn’t get angry either. He smiled and said, “Well, let me introduce myself. I am the adviser of the Halcroen Sect, Arturo Hayes.”

Halcroen Sect?

Was this the name of that organization?

Ethan Smith frowned and asked, “What do you want from me?

Arturo Hayes said indifferently, “To be honest, the Halcroen Sect has always avenged any grudges, and no one dares to kill our members.”

Ethan Smith, somewhat impatient, said, “Can you get to the point?”

Arturo Hayes laughed loudly, “It seems Mr. Smith is a straightforward person.”

“According to our usual rules, we must take your life to establish the prestige of our sect.”

“However, our elders appreciate Mr. Smith’s potential and alchemy skills, so we specifically invite you to join the Halcroen Sect.”

“As for the conditions, you can name your price, whether it’s money, herbs, or cultivation skills, we won’t be stingy!”

After hearing Arturo Hayes’s words, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sneer.

Although he didn’t know much about the Halcroen Sect, he had heard from Caesar Nolan that they hardly dared to enter the country.

This was enough to prove that they weren’t doing anything good.

“Sorry, I’m not interested.” Ethan Smith said emotionlessly.

Arturo Hayes said with a smile, “Mr. Smith, why refuse so hastily? I can give you a few days to think about it.”

“There’s no need to think. I said it before, I’m not interested.” Ethan Smith said emotionlessly.

“If there is nothing else, I would like to go home now.” Having said that, Ethan Smith turned around and walked away.

“Stop!”

At that moment, the young man suddenly shouted!

An invisible wall appeared in front of Ethan Smith, blocking his path!

“What? Do you have something else?” Ethan Smith said with narrowed eyes. Arturo Hayes said with a faint smile, “Mr. Smith, it’s fine if you don’t join the

Halcroen Sect, but you need to hand over the recipe for the Nine Transformation Pill as compensation to our sect.”

“Nine Transformation Pill?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brows.

How did they know? Could it be that Chaim Tate had leaked the information?

“Mr. Smith, as long as you hand over the recipe for the Nine Transformation Pill, the Halcroen Sect will not bother you again.” Arturo Hayes said lightly.

Ethan Smith slowly turned around.

He looked coldly at Arturo Hayes and said, “What if I don’t hand it over?”

“If you don’t hand it over, you won’t be able to leave!” The young man shouted.

“Can’t leave?” Ethan Smith’s face turned cold, and he suddenly punched backwards, shattering the invisible wall!

“Just rely on this crude technique?” Ethan Smith said coldly.

The young man’s face changed instantly, and his heart was even more shocked.

Arturo Hayes laughed and said, “As expected of the King of Chuzzle, well-deserved reputation!”

Ethan Smith said coldly, “It’s best if you don’t bother me again.”

Having said that, Ethan Smith went towards his home.

“Mr. Smith, if you don’t hand over the recipe for the Nine Transformation Pill, our Halcroen Sect will never let you go!” Arturo Hayes shouted from behind.

Originally intending to go home, Ethan Smith stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

He turned around and, narrowing his eyes, asked, “Are you threatening me?”
