Adonis Williams looked somewhat unnatural, even a bit strange.
âMr. Smith, why donât you go on your own? I donât want to go,â Edward Green muttered.
Ethan Smith looked at Adonis Williams and smiled, âMaster Williams, please forgive him.â
Adonis Williams sighed softly, âFor your sake, I will spare him this time.â
Edward Green suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Adonis Williams in horror, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
âYou⦠youâre Adonis Williams?â Edward Green swallowed hard. Adonis Williams didnât answer but just waved his hand, âLetâs go.â
The car sped towards the River North Region.
The River North Region is vast, and Chuzzle is the smallest among several provinces.
Since Bergerac Province is separated from Chuzzle by another province, the journey is slow.
Ethan Smith and Edward Green took turns driving from daytime to nighttime and finally arrived in Bergerac Province the next morning.
âThis is Bergerac Province.â After entering the territory of Bergerac, Ethan Smith took a deep breath.
He released his divine sense to feel more than half of Bergerac Province.
âI have to say, the qi in Bergerac far exceeds that of Chuzzle, â Ethan Smith said in a deep voice.
Adonis Williams nodded slightly, âThatâs because itâs close to the Divine
Alchemist Pavilion, so the qi is naturally richer.â
âThe Divine Alchemist Pavilion?â Ethan Smithâs pupils contracted.
He knew of this place, which was said to have a high social status, and their medical skills were unmatched in the world.
Many important people would go to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion for treatment.
As for the Pavilion Master, he was elusive, and it was very difficult to meet him.
âIf I have the chance, I should visit the Divine Alchemist Pavilion,â Ethan Smith thought to himself.
The car continued, and they quickly arrived at the Williamsâ Mansion.
Adonis Williamsâ residence was quite elegant, with the whole house constructed in the Chinese style.
After pushing the front door open, a winding path greeted them.
On both sides of the path were bamboo groves, giving it a touch of martial arts flavor.
âMy residence is just ahead.â Adonis Williams pointed to a mansion not far away.
Ethan Smith nodded slightly, âMaster Williamsâ residence is indeed unique. Having such a house in this era is truly a luxury.â
Adonis Williams didnât say anything. He just walked towards the mansion with his hands clasped behind his back.
As a master of the River North Region, Adonis Williams naturally had many disciples.
But today, he was somewhat puzzled as he didnât see any disciples on his way.
âStrange,â Adonis Williams frowned.
He tried to release his divine sense, but found not a single person in the entire Williams Family.
âDid they all go out?â Adonis Williams frowned.
âWhatâs wrong?â Ethan Smith asked.
Adonis Williams waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem.
âFirst, let me take you to see the Enlightenment Tea,â Adonis Williams said.
Ethan Smith nodded excitedly, âAll right!â
So, Adonis Williams led Ethan Smith to a secret chamber.
Although itâs called a secret chamber, it was actually just a storage room, and only two people had the key.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
One was Adonis Williams, and the other was his senior disciple, Patrick Ivory.
Adonis Williams opened the storage room door and went to a wooden cupboard in front of him.
âThe Enlightenment Tea is here,â Adonis Williams slowly opened the cupboard.
Ethan Smithâs excitement reached an all-time high, staring intently at the cupboard to see what the Enlightenment Tea looked like. However, when the cupboard was opened, it was empty.
âHmph?â Adonis Williams frowned.
He quickly rummaged through the storage room but still couldnât find the Enlightenment Tea!
âHow did this happen?â At this moment, even Adonis Williams started to panic!
âMaster Williams, what happened?â Ethan Smith frowned.
Adonis Williams didnât speak, but his face turned icy cold.
âCould it be that Patrick Ivory took it?â Adonis Williamsâ expression turned colder.
After saying that, he looked at Ethan Smith and bowed, âIâm sorry, it seems the Enlightenment Tea has been taken. But donât worry, I will find a way to get it back.â
âTaken?â Ethan Smithâs eyebrows furrowed.
Adonis Williams didnât say anything more. He pushed the door open and hurried into the courtyard.
There was not a soul in the entire courtyard.
This gave Adonis Williams a bad feeling.
Just then, a voice was heard from the Ancient Well in the courtyard.
âMaster, have you come back?â The voice came from deep within the well. Adonis Williams hurried to the well and saw deep down, a disciple shivering!
âWhat⦠whatâs going on!â
Adonis Williamsâ face changed drastically. He raised his hand to probe the well, and a gentle force lifted the disciple out of the well.
Upon seeing Adonis Williams, the disciple couldnât help but burst into tears.
âWhat happened?â Adonis Williams asked coldly.
The disciple wiped away his tears and sobbed, âItâs Patrick Ivory!â
âPatrick Ivory?â Adonis Williams felt increasingly uneasy.
The disciple continued, âAfter you left, Patrick Ivory inexplicably decided to set up his own sect and demanded us to become his slaves.â
âWe disagreed, and thatâs when Patrick Ivory began to kill!â
âHis power has grown tremendously, and even when we teamed up, we couldnât defeat him!â
At this point, the discipleâs tears streamed down uncontrollably.
He fell to his knees in pain and said, âIn a fit of rage, Patrick Ivory⦠killed all of our senior brothers!â
âWhat?!â Adonis Williams trembled with rage at hearing this!
A surge of power suddenly erupted from him, causing the bamboo groves to rustle!
âMaster, you must kill Patrick Ivory and avenge us!â The disciple cried out in grief.
But Adonis Williams didnât say anything for a long time. The power he had just released was quickly retracted.â
Within a few seconds, a trace of melancholy appeared on Adonis Williamsâ face.
At that moment, Adonis Williams seemed to have aged decades.â
âMaster Williams, you⦠youâre all right?â Ethan Smith frowned. Adonis Williams waved his hand, somewhat weakly, âIâm fine, Iâm fineâ¦â After he finished speaking, Adonis Williams collapsed onto the ground. Ethan Smith quickly supported him and directed his qi into Adonis Williamsâ body.
âLetâs go back to the room first.â Ethan Smith helped Adonis Williams all the way back to the bedroom.
Adonis Williams lay on the bed, his face full of complicated emotions.
âEthan Smith, Iâm sorry I couldnât keep the promise your father madeâ¦â Adonis Williams said with guilt.
Ethan Smith waved his hand, âNo need to say that now.â
Adonis Williams let out a long sigh and painfully said, âPatrick Ivory had no parents since he was a child. I raised him and taught him all my skills, but I never thought⦠he would do such a thing.â
After saying that, murky tears flowed from Adonis Williamsâ eyes.
Looking at the deeply pained Adonis Williams, Ethan Smith felt a mix of emotions.
He could understand Adonis Williamsâ feelings.
The taste of being betrayed is unbearable.
Especially when it comes from someone close to you..
