After killing Mr. Snyder, Ethan Smith returned to the stone tablet near River Town.
Edward Green and Sofia Carrillo were standing there, not knowing what to do. With their strength, they could not possibly catch up with Ethan Smith.
âI hope Mr. Smith is all rightâ¦â Edward Green swallowed nervously, speaking with some fear.
Sofia glared at him and scolded, âShut your crowâs mouth!â
Edward Green muttered softly, âIâm just afraid thereâs a trapâ¦â
As they were speaking, Ethan Smith slowly walked back from a distance.
âLetâs go,â Ethan Smith said without any expression.
Edward Green quickly ran up to him and asked hesitantly, âMr. Smith, did you⦠kill him?â
âMmm.â Ethan nodded his head.
Sofia couldnât help but praise, âThat was a Peak Form of Grandmaster ⦠Itâs unthinkable!â
Ethan Smith did not pay any attention to her and started walking forward.
âWhere are we going now, Mr. Smith?â Edward Green asked.
âWhite City.â Ethan Smith replied.
Previously, Ethan had set up a spiritual energy gathering formation in White City, and it had been almost a year since then.
By now, there should be a considerable amount of qi gathered in the formation, so it was time to go back and check it out.
The next day.
The three of them hurried back to White City from River Town.
The spiritual energy gathering formation had initially been set up in a tourist area, so after such a long time, there should have been many visitors here.
However, to Ethanâs surprise, they found that this place had not opened for business at all.
Looking at the various facilities inside that were already completed, Ethan couldnât help but find it strange.
âHow is it possible that it hasnât opened yet after such a long time?â Ethan Smith furrowed his brow.
When they got to the entrance, the security personnel quickly stopped Ethan.
âThis place isnât open for business, so you should go elsewhere,â the man at the door said.
Ethan pointed to the tourist area and said, âMy name is Ethan Smith, and Iâm the owner here.â
âThe owner?â The man scratched his head, seemingly puzzled.
Ethan didnât pay any attention to him and continued to ask, âItâs been a year since this place was completed, right? Why hasnât it opened yet?â
The man said, âIt seems to have been requisitioned inside, so the opening was delayed.â
âRequisitioned? By which unit?â Ethan Smith asked.
The man laughed awkwardly, âDonât ask me about it, Iâm just a doorman.â
Ethan didnât say anything more, and he led Edward Green and the others inside.
The doorman quickly stopped Ethan and said, âYou should sign in first, just in case thereâs an accident.â
Ethan nodded, followed the man to the security room, signed his name, and then headed towards the direction of the spiritual energy gathering formation.
Soon, the three of them arrived near the spiritual energy gathering formation.
At Ethanâs request, this area had been rebuilt.
High walls were built around, and there was a moderately sized villa inside for resting.
Ethan walked to the entrance and tried to push the door but found it locked.
âSomeone actually locked my own house?â Ethan Smith was instantly filled with anger. He grabbed the iron lock and forcibly snapped it in half.
The door opened, but to Ethanâs surprise, there was no trace of spiritual energy here at all!
Almost a year of spiritual energy gathering, and no spiritual energy was sensed? How could that be possible?
âWho let you in!â
At this moment, a middle-aged man quickly walked towards Ethan Smith.
Ethan looked coldly at this middle-aged man and said, âI should be the one asking you that. Without my permission, who let you into my house?â
âYour house?â The middle-aged man looked Ethan Smith up and down.
âThis place has long been requisitioned and now belongs to our River North Martial Arts Associationâs base! Still your house?â The middle-aged man sneered.
âThe River North Martial Arts Associationâs base? Without my permission, youâve requisitioned my house? Who gave you that right?â Ethanâs face grew colder.
The middle-aged man impatiently said, âStop talking nonsense, get out of here, or donât blame me for not being polite!â
As he finished saying that, he reached out to push Ethan Smith away.
Ethan Smith immediately caught his wrist and threw him out.
The middle-aged man fell heavily to the ground, with pain shooting through various parts of his body.
âYouâ¦you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?â The middle-aged man roared angrily.
Ethan Smith looked at him coldly and said, âGo back and tell your association president to come and apologize to me, and weâll discuss compensation.â
âAll right, all right! You just wait, you just wait and see!â The middle-aged man pointed at Ethan Smith and turned to run away.
âDamn, the River North Martial Arts Association is really overbearing.â Edward Green couldnât help cursing.
Ethan Smith said coldly, âTheyâve been trespassing in my house and using my spiritual energy gathering formation. Theyâd better give me a reasonable explanation.â
After saying that, Ethan Smith turned and walked into the villa.
This huge villa was not empty â various furniture and facilities had been moved in.
There were things like a private cinema, gym, and everything else a person could want.
At a glance, it looked like a vacation spot.
âThese scoundrels sure know how to enjoy themselves.â Edward Green grumbled while lying on the massage chair.
Sofia, on the other hand, seemed somewhat restrained, standing there looking lost.
Ethan Smith glanced at her and said, âFind a room for yourself to rest. From now on, you two will stay here temporarily.â
The reason for choosing this place was that the natural spiritual energy here was quite rich, and the space was large enough.
Since it hadnât opened for business, Ethan simply decided to remove the entire tourist area and turn it into residential housing.
As for what he wanted to do specifically, no one knew.
While inspecting the villa, Ethan Smith discovered private clothing in several rooms.
These clothes were carelessly thrown onto tables and beds, looking rather indecent.
Ethan frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
After the River North Martial Arts Association requisitioned the place, did they use it for these things?
They were simply running wild!
After cleaning up these indecent items, Ethan Smith finally lay down on the sofa.
He took out his cellphone and opened the Martial Arts Forum.
On the forum, there were still discussions about Ethan Smith.
Most of these discussions centered around keywords like âson-in-law of the Taylor family,â âMaster of Medicine God Pavilion,â âfrom the bottom to the top,â and so on.
Ethanâs climb up the stairway to heaven was still admired by some even after such a long time.
Seeing these posts, a faint smile appeared on Ethanâs lips.
âWith such popularity, itâs about time to do something,â Ethan thought to himself.
After going through so many experiences, Ethan understood one truth:
The power of a single person is ultimately limited. He could live happily on his own, but if he wanted to bring down the aristocratic families of Capital City, it would never be possible with just his own efforts.
Therefore, Ethan also planned to rally his own team and power.
At this moment, Ethan saw a post.
The title of the post was âPyroâs Martial Artists Potential List.â
