On the way, Ethan Smith drove extremely fast.
The young man sitting beside him was frightened, his face pale.
âBro, I⦠I know nothing, please spare meâ¦â the young man said with a grin.
Ethan glanced at him and said, âI wonât do anything to you, just take me to Anthony Hansenâs door, and Iâll let you go.â
âYes, yesâ¦â The young man hastily nodded.
After driving for about half an hour, the car finally stopped in front of a villa.
âBro, this is the Hansen Familyâs place. You see that lit room? Thatâs Anthony Hansenâs bedroom.â The young man eagerly said.
Ethan nodded. Then, with a gentle force on his feet, his body leaped into the air!
âWhat theâ¦â The young man rubbed his eyes, dumbfounded.
Inside the room.
Anthony Hansen was studying the Pill in his hand.
âI wonder how much money this thing can sell forâ¦â Anthony thought to himself.
âWhatever, letâs just eat it and see what happens.â
As he spoke, Anthony opened his mouth to stuff the Pill in.
At that moment, the window suddenly shattered!
Immediately after, Ethan Smith leaped in from outside.
Seeing Ethan, Anthony was stunned for a moment.
âWhat are you doing here? Get the fuck out of my room, you hear me?â Anthony climbed up from his bed, cursing angrily.
Ethan ignored his words and coldly asked, âWhereâs Clare?â âWhat fish, big or small? I donât know anything!â Anthony cursed.
âGet out now, or Iâll call someone!â
Ethanâs face turned cold, as he raised his finger and shot out spiritual power like a bullet!
âBang!â
A bloody hole appeared in Anthonyâs knee, causing him to fall to his knees!
âMy legâ¦â Anthony held his leg, in unbearable pain.
âIâll ask you again, whereâs Clare? If you donât speak, Iâll kill you.â Ethan exuded a menacing murderous spirit!
This murderous spirit was incredibly strong, even more intense than the old manâs!
This terrified Anthony, his face turning pale!
Trembling, he said, âYouâ¦what do you want to do? Donât mess with meâ¦â Ethan waved his hand and slapped Anthony to the ground! The immense force caused Anthony to cough up blood continuously!
âLast chance, where is Clare?â Ethan roared.
At this point, Anthony was completely terrified, and hastily said, âDonât kill me, donât kill me⦠Clare was taken away by an old manâ¦â âOld man?â Ethan raised an eyebrow.
âWhat exactly happened? Tell me clearly!â Ethan shouted angrily.
Anthony painfully recounted the whole story to Ethan.
âThat old man even demanded that I find three virgins for him every month,â Anthony said anxiously.
âBy the way, as a reward, he gave me this Pill!â
Anthony took out the Pill from his pocket and held it out in his palm.
Ethan took the Pill and glanced at it, surprised.
There was actually qi inside this Pill?
But now was not the time to focus on this, Ethan put away the Pill and asked,
âWhere is the old man?â
âI donât know⦠I donât even know himâ¦â Anthony said, somewhat bitter.
Ethan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, âSeems like you wonât cry until you see your coffinâ¦â
âNo, no, I really donât know!â Anthony shouted desperately.
âI remember now, he mentioned something about Earth Fiend Valley⦠Yes, Earth Fiend Valley!â In the urgency of the situation, Anthony recalled the old manâs words.
Upon hearing the words âEarth Fiend Valley,â Ethanâs face instantly turned ice-cold!
Even the roomâs temperature seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant!
âThis Earth Fiend Valleyâ¦is truly incorrigible,â Ethan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with anger.
âBro, Iâve told you everything I know, it really has nothing to do with meâ¦â Anthony said, somewhat frightened.
Ethan paid no attention to Anthony, leaped into the air, and jumped out of the window.
After leaving Anthonyâs house, Ethan drove towards William Richardsonâs residence.
When he arrived, William was making frantic phone calls, trying to find out which hospital Clare was in.
As soon as he saw Ethan, William hurried over.
He said anxiously, âEthan, where is Clare? Any news?â
Ethan nodded, looked at William, and whispered, âClare, sheâ¦â âWhat happened to her, tell me quickly!â William nearly burst into tears.
âClare was taken away by someone from Earth Fiend Valley,â Ethan sighed.
âEarth Fiend Valley?â William furrowed his brows, âWhereâs Earth Fiend Valley?â
âA mysterious organization in the southwest. They specialize in selecting untainted young girls and using their dark energy for cultivation,â Ethan said coldly.
âI thought the parasite on Clare was placed by your enemy, but it seems that the Earth Fiend Valley had been targeting her for a long time,â Ethan said slowly.
After hearing Ethanâs words, William immediately became anxious.
He grabbed Ethanâs shoulder, tears in his eyes, âSheâs my only daughter, I canât lose her, Ethan, help me think of a way. I canât lose Clareâ¦â
As he spoke, tears flowed down Williamâs face.
Seeing Williamâs state, Ethan sighed in his heart.
No matter what, parents are always the ones who love their children the most.
âWilliam, donât worry, I will bring Clare back safely,â Ethan reassured.
William wiped away his tears and urgently said, âAs long as you bring Clare back, Iâll do whatever you say!â
âWilliam, you should rest first. Iâm heading to the southwest right now,â Ethan said.
With those words, Ethan turned and left the Richardson Familyâs residence.
He got into the car, and called Conrad Schroeder.
Conrad hadnât gone to sleep yet and was surprised to receive Ethanâs call, âMr. Smith, why are you calling me in the middle of the night? Is something wrong?â
Ethan spoke seriously, âDo you know where Earth Fiend Valley is?â
Conrad was taken aback, frowning, âMr. Smith, why are you suddenly asking about this?â
âI have to go save someone,â Ethan said coldly.
âSave someone?â Conrad was even more confused.
âI donât have time to explain,â Ethan said with a furrowed brow.
Conrad said solemnly, âI do know the location of Earth Fiend Valley, but⦠it is shrouded in mystery. Even a Grandmaster entering it might not come out aliveâ¦â
Ethan took a deep breath and said, âFine, Iâll wait for you at the airport.â
Conrad hesitated, awkwardly saying, âAm I going too?â âWho else will show me the way?â Ethan said.
âGive you half an hour.â And with that, Ethan hung up the phone.
Clareâs misfortune was directly related to Ethan, though it could be argued that it wasnât his fault.
In other words, Ethan wasnât the root cause, but he was the immediate reason.
As such, Ethan had to see this matter through to the end..
