Their gazes met, and the usually persistent Ethan Smith couldnât help but feel overwhelmed at this moment.
Every time he faced Emily Taylor, Ethan became like a child.
He pulled Emily closer, forcefully suppressing his emotions, and said as calmly as possible, âIâm fine. Itâs so good to see you again.â
âMe too,â Emily whispered back.
The sudden change left the onlookers dumbfounded.
Did Emily and Ethan⦠really have feelings for each other?
On the upper floor, Dexter Blairâs face turned a pale green with anger, his fists clenched!
And Reilly Blairâs expression looked even worse!
This was a humiliation for the Blair family in front of so many people!
âSeparate them,â Kylan Taylor said coldly.
Immediately, people around them started to move forward.
Emily cast a cold glance at them, and they froze in their tracks.
âNo matter what, your own well-being is the most important thing. Take care of yourself,â Emily tiptoed and gently patted Ethan on the head.
For a moment, Ethan couldnât restrain himself.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, saying, âEmily, wait for me. Today, Iâm going to take you away from Capital City.â
âOkay, Iâll wait for you,â Emily said seriously.
âMiss Taylor,â members of the Taylor family approached Emily quickly.
Emily reluctantly cast one last look at Ethan, and then, escorted by the two people, she slowly walked into the villa.
Ethanâs eyes followed Emilyâs retreating figure longingly.
His longing, at this moment, completely erupted!
âDexter Blair!â
Ethan roared, with a terrifying surge of Inner Strength heading straight for Dexter!
Dexter responded coldly, âEthan Smith, youâre a damned bastard!â
âYouâre the one who deserves to die,â Ethan bit out through gritted teeth.
Kylan Taylor coldly chided, âEthan Smith, what crime do you deserve for meddling in my Taylor familyâs affairs?â
âKylan Taylor, you deserve to die even more,â Ethan replied, grinding his teeth.
âYou elegantly dressed beasts, willing to do anything for profit.â
âEmily doesnât even like Dexter, donât you know that?!â
âWhy must you force Emily and Dexter together! Youâre already rich enough, why do you need to indulge your desires endlessly?â
Upon hearing this, Kylan Taylor slammed the table and stood up!
He pointed at Ethan and said, âWhat nonsense are you spouting?!â
âYou damn well know what Iâm saying! You hypocritical son of a bitch!â Ethan cursed loudly.
In front of so many people, Kylan Taylor was berated by Ethan, unable to save face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEthan Smith, thatâs enough,â Hugh Taylor, who was sitting next to Kylan, coughed.
Ethan glanced at Hugh and sneered, âHugh Taylor, I originally thought you were a gentleman, but youâre nothing more than a coward!â
âWhen we first met, you kept talking about wanting the best for Emily.â
âWhat happened to all that talk? Did you just stand idly by while Kylan Taylor pushed your daughter into the fiery pit? Do you even deserve to be a father?â
Hugh Taylorâs face changed, and he scolded, âEthan Smith, why are you acting like a mad dog, biting everyone you see?â
âAm I wrong?â Ethan sneered.
âYou let Kylan Taylor turn Emily into a tool. Youâre not fit to be a father.â
âYou know Mike Taylor is alive, but you wonât speak up. Youâre also a failure as a son.â
âIf you werenât Emilyâs father, I would have cursed you long ago! Youâre oblivious to the insults thrown your way, and you stick your face out for another beating. Are you just cheap?â
The area fell silent.
*Gulp*
Someone swallowed nervously, but no one knew who it was.
âIs what this Ethan Smith saying true?â
âHe said Mike Taylor isnât dead? What does he mean?â
âThis Ethan Smith really is sharp-tongued. Facing an aristocratic family like the Taylors, he shows no fear. His nerves are admirable.â
From above, Kylan Taylor coldly said, âYouâre just spouting nonsense. Our Taylor familyâs affairs are none of your concern.â
âIâll have you know, Emily will definitely marry Dexter! You canât stop it, and you wonât change our minds!â
Ethan smirked, âI donât intend to change your minds. I just need to kill Dexter.â
âArrogant!â Dexter couldnât hold back any longer!
He took a step forward, the energy within him surging, and immediately erupted!
âEthan Smith, this is not a place for your wild talk!â Dexter said coldly.
âKill me? With your abilities? Stepping on you would be as easy as crushing an ant!â
âCome on, letâs see if youâll even try!â Ethanâs energy also erupted at this moment!
The collision of these two forces immediately created a whirlwind!
The people around them couldnât help but retreat while carrying their tables. They didnât want to get caught in the crossfire!
A large open space was cleared in the center.
Great war, imminent!
At that moment, a car drove in.
It bore the bold words âCapital City Martial Arts Associationâ!
The moment the car stopped, a group of reporters with cameras emerged.
âFinally, theyâre here,â Dexter exhaled deeply.
He glared at Ethan coldly and said, âEthan Smith, your time is up.â
Ethan clenched his fists and replied, âI canât wait to see your proud head lowered.â
âReally?â Dexter squinted and then sneered, âI can step on you once, and I can step on you countless times!â
The words were clearly a taunt about their previous encounter.
Ethan sneered, âDexter, youâll regret not killing me back then.â
After saying this, Ethan looked up at a particular window of the villa.
In the window, Emily was watching the scene unfold.
Ethan gave a confident smile towards the window.
Dexter naturally noticed this and, following Ethanâs gaze, looked towards the window. His face darkened immediately.
âEthan Smith, Iâll step on you right in front of Emily!â Dexter said coldly.
âIâll let her know how awful her taste is!â
With Dexterâs roar, his energy erupted, and he threw a punch straight at Ethan!
âCome on, letâs see what you, the son of some aristocrat, are capable of!â Ethan roared as well!
A golden glow enveloped him, and his fierce fist met Dexterâs head-on!
