Chapter 545: Chapter 545: 545: Who Exactly Is My Father?_1

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but be stunned.

Was he the one to break the deadlock?

But now, Ethan Smith wasn’t even a Military Marquis, so how could he compete with the Capital City Martial Arts Association?

“Think carefully about the power you will possess after stepping into the Military Marquis Realm.” Jackson Harris said solemnly.

Ethan suddenly remembered the state he was in when he forced himself to step into the Military Marquis Realm.

That kind of power made him extremely confident.

He even thought that no one under the heavens could defeat him!

Even if he were facing more than ten Military Marquises, Ethan didn’t care at all!

“Once you step into the Military Marquis Realm, everything will take a turn for the better,” Jackson Harris said.

“But be careful, they will not let you enter the Military Marquis Realm so easily.”

Ethan took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Harris, I understand.”

Jackson nodded and said, “Young man, work hard.”

Ethan remained silent.

He understood the truth, but now all he could think about was Emily Taylor.

He couldn’t understand why Emily, who he was supposed to take away, was taken away by the Capital City Martial Arts Association instead.

When he returned to the Elder’s residence, Ethan’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.

“Once I step into the Military Marquis Realm, things will change…” Ethan gritted his teeth.

He thought over and over, but still found it hard to accept deep down.

But right now, Ethan had no other way but to wait for the Pavilion Master’s news.

For the entire day, Ethan had no mood to cultivate.

The next day.

The Pavilion Master sent someone to the Capital City Martial Arts Association to inquire about the news.

It wasn’t until evening that the Pavilion Master finally arrived at the Elder’s residence.

Ethan hurriedly stood up and said, “Lord Pavilion Master, how did it go?”

The Pavilion Master was silent for a moment, and then said, “The Capital City Martial Arts Association has done a very good job in keeping things secret. I don’t know their purpose.”

Ethan’s face darkened even further!

Even the Pavilion Master had no news? How could this be?

“No!” Ethan suddenly stood up.

He said coldly, “I must go to the Capital City Martial Arts Association immediately to find out what’s going on!”

The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan and said, “Do you think that by going there, you’ll be able to find out the truth?”

Ethan opened his mouth, feeling somewhat helpless.

He slumped on the bed, not knowing what to do for a moment.

“Wait until you step into the Military Marquis Realm. I’ll personally go to Capital City tomorrow and try to investigate again,” said the Pavilion Master.

Ethan sighed and said, “That’s all I can do.”

The next day.

Early in the morning, the Pavilion Master left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion and headed towards the Capital City.

Meanwhile, Ethan’s heart began to grow anxious.

“As long as I step into the Military Marquis Realm, there will be a turning point…” Ethan kept repeating this phrase to himself.

His mood couldn’t calm down for quite some time, and every time he closed his eyes, he saw Emily Taylor.

This made Ethan even more desperate, eager to enter the Military Marquis Realm without delay.

Now that he was still at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, there was no way for Ethan to improve.

With Ethan’s current state, only millennia-old herbs or resources such as Spiritual Springs and Dark Energy Graves could provide any improvement.

So, Ethan could only plan to leave and try his luck outside.

That evening, the Pavilion Master finally returned from the Capital City.

As soon as he saw the Pavilion Master, Ethan anxiously ran over.”Lord Pavilion Master, any news?” Ethan Smith asked anxiously.

With a hint of regret, the Pavilion Master shook his head and said, “Still no news. Even the Taylor family members don’t know what the Capital City Martial Arts Association is up to.”

Hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but be furious!

“For the Taylor family, they simply don’t care about Emily’s life or death!” Ethan said angrily.

“Kylan Taylor treats Emily as a tool, and Hugh Taylor is a weak waste! How could they bother about what the Capital City Martial Arts Association is trying to do!”

Seeing Ethan’s nearly frantic state, the Pavilion Master didn’t know what to do for a moment.

“Damn it, if we can’t find anything, then I’ll go to the Capital City Martial Arts Association myself!” Ethan said coldly.

“They want to catch me, right? Then I’ll let them catch me, and I don’t believe I won’t be able to find any news!”

“Ethan, don’t be impulsive,” the Pavilion Master frowned and said.

It’s easy to say not to be impulsive, but who could stand it when the life or death of a loved one is uncertain!

Everyone has a soft spot, and Ethan is no exception.

As long as their weakness is touched, no one can remain calm.

“I might know the reason.”

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in from the outside.

It was none other than Mike Taylor.

Seeing Mike Taylor was like seeing a family member to Ethan.

He hurriedly asked, “Mr. Taylor, what’s going on? Emily is just an ordinary person, why did the Capital City Martial Arts Association take her away!”

Mike Taylor waved his hand and motioned for Ethan to sit down.

The two sat facing each other, and Mike Taylor paused before slowly saying, “This matter may have something to do with your father.”

“My father?” Ethan was taken aback.

Mike Taylor took a sip of water, and explained.

“Back then, I was indebted to your father. Without him, there would be no Taylor family today,” Mike said.

He looked at Ethan and continued, “Do you know why I sent Emily to River City to find you in the first place?”

Ethan shook his head. Of course, he didn’t know.

Emily Taylor was a high and mighty Miss, while he himself was a married man with no prospects.

According to common sense, the two of them shouldn’t have any connection at all.

Ethan had always been very puzzled about this.

Mike Taylor said, “This was also your father’s idea, and he only told me that you two are a perfect match.”

“He insisted that the two of you must be together, but he never told me why.”

Ethan was dumbfounded and confused.

What does it mean that the two of them must be together? And how did his father know that the two were a perfect match?

“If I’m not mistaken, being together will be beneficial for both you and Emily,” Mike Taylor continued to say.

“So, the move by the Capital City Martial Arts Association may just be to prevent you two from getting together and causing disaster for the Association.”

Ethan frowned and asked, “Mr. Taylor, are you telling the truth? You’re not just trying to comfort me, right?”

Mike Taylor gave a bitter smile, “Emily is my precious granddaughter, my flesh and blood. I’m even more worried than you.”

Ethan was speechless. This was indeed the case. Everyone in Capital City knew how much Mike Taylor doted on Emily.

“Although the Capital City Martial Arts Association is powerful, they will not ignore the influence of the Taylor family,” Mike Taylor said.

“So, Emily should be safe.”

Hearing Mike Taylor’s words, Ethan felt a little relieved in his heart.

“You’d better listen to the Pavilion Master’s advice. Some things can’t be hurried,” Mike Taylor said.

Ethan took a deep breath and nodded, “I understand, Mr. Taylor.”

At this point, Ethan paused.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He looked at Mike Taylor and continued to ask, “You said you were once indebted to my father. Does that mean you know him?”

Mike Taylor took a sip of water and nodded, “Yes.”

“Then… where is he? What kind of person is he? And why have I never met him?” Ethan asked anxiously.
