Chapter 449: Chapter 449: 449: What a Bullshit Organization!

Translator: 549690339

Ten half-step Martial Marquis, with various identities, set off for Pyro!

This was almost the largest scale operation in the history of the Halcroen Sect!

No one knew why the Halcroen Sect would mobilize such force, and for a time, discussions were rife.

Some people said that the Halcroen Sect wanted to use this opportunity to show the world its power.

Others said that the Halcroen Sect valued Ethan Smith’s potential too highly.

There were also those who believed this news to be fake.

Only the Halcroen Sect themselves knew the reason.

They knew well what it meant to have a grown chaotic body.

Early in the morning of the next day.

Ethan Smith set off from Sea City Airport with Evelyn Norton, preparing to head to Dolan.

Dolan was far from Sea City, located in the easternmost part of Pyro.

There were many deep mountains and old forests in this area, making it an excellent environment for cultivation. Many martial arts experts had practiced seclusion here in the past.

On the plane, Ethan Smith looked at Evelyn Norton lying on one side and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“Evelyn, I never thought you’d also have a miscalculation.” Ethan Smith shook his head helplessly.

The incantation Dudley Lynch recited was very strange, seemingly able to stimulate the spirit core within the body.

However, for some reason, the incantation had no effect on Ethan Smith.

There were too many cultivation methods in the world, with countless bizarre techniques emerging one after another.

Without caution, one could potentially end up in an irretrievable situation.

In the afternoon, the plane finally landed in Dolan.

As soon as he got off the plane, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Such a natural atmosphere always made people yearn for it.

After that, Ethan Smith took a taxi to head straight to the Kane family!

As the Lord of Dolan, almost everyone in Dolan knew of Atticus Kane.

“Atticus Kane is a famous figure in our Dolan!” Upon mentioning Atticus Kane, the driver also began to talk at length.

“He started off doing engineering work and for some reason, he started practicing martial arts later on. He seems quite powerful.”

Ethan Smith casually asked, “How much wealth does Atticus Kane have?”

Hearing this, the driver mysteriously replied, “It’s said that he has a 10 billion net worth on the surface! He also has dozens of henchmen in his house!”

The “henchmen” the driver mentioned should be the servants of the Kane Family.

Soon, the car arrived at a manor.

“This is the Kane Family.” The driver pointed to the manor and said.

Ethan Smith got out of the car and stared at the vast manor, dumbstruck.

Because… this manor was just too luxurious! To call it a manor was an understatement; it was more like a forest!

It was as if an entire mountain had been enclosed and turned into private property!

There were at least dozens of villas within the manor, each one luxurious.

Various styles and designs, everything one could imagine!

“Atticus Kane is really extravagant.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sigh.

Claiming he had a 10 billion net worth was probably an understatement.

Without wasting any more time, Ethan Smith carried Evelyn Norton and walked towards the Kane Family Manor.

At the entrance of the manor, there was solemnity in the air, and on two giant stone tablets were engraved countless names.

Just as Ethan Smith was about to shout, he suddenly sensed an unusual presence in the air.

“Is someone following me?” Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow.

In the darkness, there seemed to be two faint presences.

Although the presence had been concealed by special means, it still could not escape Ethan Smith’s divine sense.

“Two Grandmasters?” Ethan Smith raised his eyebrows slightly, and then sneered.

In the shadows, two Grandmasters dressed in black were staring at Ethan Smith.

“Report to Mr. Holmes right away that Ethan Smith has arrived in Dolan,” said one of the Grandmasters.

Another Grandmaster nodded, took out his phone to make a call, but suddenly found that Ethan in front of them had disappeared!

“Where’s the person?!” The two hurriedly stood up and searched for Ethan’s figure everywhere.

But the entire forest was silent, and there was no trace of anyone.

“Damn, we lost him!”

“It’ll be trouble if Mr. Holmes finds out. Hurry up and find him!”

“Are you looking for me?”

As the two looked up, they suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind!

They turned their heads and saw Ethan Smith smirking at them.

“How did you find out about us!” One of the Grandmasters cried.

Ethan sneered, “With such amateurish means, you thought you could track someone? Go home and practice more.”

The two felt insulted, their faces turning ugly.

“Tell me, who sent you?” Ethan asked indifferently.

Instead of denying, the two proudly replied, “We are from the Capital City Martial Arts Association!”

“Capital City Martial Arts Association?” Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

This did surprise him a bit.

“Why are you following me? What’s your purpose?” Ethan continued to ask.

“Hehe, we from the Capital City Martial Arts Association are qualified to oversee any martial artist!” The other responded lightly.

Ethan narrowed his eyes and sneered, “You have no authority! What does the Capital City Martial Arts Association even do?”

Both changed their expressions, and angrily shouted, “Ethan Smith, you must be aware of what you’re saying!”

“Our Capital City Martial Arts Association is the highest hall for all martial artists! And the organization with the highest authority!”

“Bullshit!” Ethan cursed mercilessly.

“What ultimate hall? Don’t think I don’t know what kind of shady business you’re involved in.”

As for the Martial Arts Association, he disliked them deeply, almost to the point of hate.

In Ethan’s experience, all Martial Arts Associations did disgraceful deeds.

Especially the previous smear campaign against him by the Capital City Martial Arts Association on the Martial Arts Forum.

Such an organization deserves to be called the highest hall?

“You’re just a civilian organization, constantly trying to label yourselves as official?” Ethan laughed mockingly.

“Others give you face, and that’s the only reason you have it. Without their respect, who do you think you are?”

The two were left speechless by Ethan, their faces burning red.

“Tell me, why did you follow me? If you can’t explain it clearly today, I’ll kill you two arrogant bastards.” Ethan said coldly.

Their expressions changed, and they exclaimed in shock, “You dare! No one dares to touch the people of our Martial Arts Association!”

“Oh really?” Ethan chuckled and immediately slapped one of them!

The slap caused the Grandmaster to bleed from the corner of his mouth and his face swelled.

“You… You actually dared to hit me!”

“Not only do I dare to hit you, I also dare to kill you.” Ethan said coldly.

Both were now completely afraid, and they tried to justify themselves, “Vice President Holmes sent us here, but we don’t know exactly why.”

“Vice President Holmes? Emerson Holmes?” Ethan raised an eyebrow.

“Yes… Yes.” They answered.

Ethan’s brow furrowed.

Isn’t this Emerson Holmes Dexter Blair’s master? Why would he send people to track him?

“Can we go now?” The two asked tentatively.

Ethan glanced at them and waved his hand, “Get lost, but I warn you, if you follow me again, I won’t hesitate to kill you.”

The two didn’t dare to say more, nodded repeatedly, and then turned to run away.

Ethan stood on the mountain rock, not moving for a long time.

Although he didn’t know what Emerson Holmes’s real intentions were, Ethan knew deep down that Holmes was up to no good.

“Forget it, never mind him. As long as I step into the half-step Martial Marquis level, who cares about Emerson Holmes?” Ethan murmured softly.
