Chapter 554: Chapter 554: 554: Dexter Blair wakes up

Upon hearing Kylan Taylor’s words, Joshua Hess was momentarily stunned.

He hastily explained: “Mr. Taylor, I just learned that Ethan Smith is at Green Moon Villa, I…”

“Enough!” Kylan Taylor brutally interrupted Joshua Hess’s words.

“Useless! People are breaking into our house and you still don’t know. What use is there in having someone as useless as you!” Kylan Taylor angrily said.

“I’m telling you, if you can’t even handle this, don’t bother staying in the Taylor family!”

After tossing these words, Kylan Taylor hung up the phone.

A shadow flickered across Joshua Hess’s face, replaced by an intense murderous spirit.

“Ethan Smith… I must kill you!” Joshua Hess’s body trembled uncontrollably.

Ever since Ethan Smith appeared, Joshua Hess has been scolded several times by Kylan Taylor.

If things kept going this way, he may really get kicked out of the equation.

Without further thought, Joshua Hess hurried to the Great Saint Sect.

…

Ethan Smith sat under the waterfall, calmly absorbing the qi from the Spiritual Spring.

This qi was incredibly abundant and of the purest quality.

The only regret was that Ethan Smith couldn’t take the Spiritual Spring with him.

“If I reach the Military Marquis Realm, I will definitely dominate the Great Saint Sect!” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

Ever since talking with Jackson Harris, Ethan Smith’s goal was no longer the Military Marquis.

He wanted to step into the realm of the Martial Saint, into the state of true invincibility!

Let the Blair family, the Taylor family, all submit before him!

“As long as I reach the Marquis realm, I can try to hunt down the Marquis.” Ethan Smith thought.

A Marquis is the equivalent of the Golden Core Stage in the spiritual realm, producing a golden core within their body.

All of one’s cultivation resides within the golden core.

As long as one swallows the golden core, their cultivation will rapidly improve.

Therefore, once entering the Marquis realm, everything will become clear.

Ethan Smith was like a qi filter; all the water that passed through his body had its qi fully absorbed.

Time flew by, and half a day had passed in the blink of an eye.

Ethan Smith could clearly feel the corporeal qi in his body becoming denser.

Just then, Ethan Smith abruptly opened his eyes!

There was a flash of panic on his face, and he cried out in alarm: “Not good!”

Ethan Smith suddenly found out that the Great Saint Sect belonged to the Taylor family!

Since it belonged to the Taylor family, the Taylor family would definitely arrange their trusted followers in the Great Saint Sect to keep an eye on Joshua Hess!

Therefore, his arrival might have already been exposed!

“I actually forgot about this aspect with Taylor.” Ethan Smith’s brows furrowed.

His mind raced, and his eyes flashed with a vicious glint.

Then, Ethan Smith covered his face and quickly walked towards the Great Hall.

At this time, Toby Bacchus was seated in Joshua Hess’s position, enjoying a cup of tea.

Seeing Ethan Smith, a trace of panic flashed in Toby Bacchus’s eyes.

“Toby Bacchus, immediately fetch everyone who was practicing near the Spiritual Spring today,” Ethan Smith said coldly.

Toby Bacchus frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t ask, go now, remember, everyone needs to come, not a single one can be missing!” Ethan Smith replied urgently.

Seeing this, Toby Bacchus dared not say more and immediately called over the more than ten people who were near the Spiritual Spring according to Ethan Smith’s requirements.

In the Great Hall, these more than ten people asked confusedly, “Elder Toby, why have you suddenly summoned us over? Is something the matter?”

Toby Bacchus didn’t speak because he also didn’t know what was going on.

As a result, he subconsciously looked at Ethan Smith, seemingly waiting for him to speak.

Ethan Smith slowly stood up, he scanned the crowd, and suddenly threw a slap out of nowhere!

“Crack!”

That slap directly shattered someone’s head!

Seeing this, everyone’s faces instantly changed!

“What… what are you doing?” Even Toby Bacchus couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Ethan Smith replied coldly: “To prevent accidents, all these people have to die.”

Upon hearing Ethan Smith’s words, the gathered individuals instantly panicked.

But how could their strength compete with that of Ethan Smith?

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen of these people met their grisly end at Ethan’s hands!

Looking at the blood stains everywhere, Toby Bacchus’ face turned extremely ghastly.

“Ethan Smith, what the hell do you want?” Toby Bacchus ground out through clenched teeth.

Ethan Smith glanced at him and said, “I suspect Joshua Hess has already received the news, and the source is probably among these people.”

“That’s impossible!” Toby Bacchus protested vehemently.

“I’ve told you already, the Great Saint Sect is strictly hierarchical, and these people would never be able to reach Joshua Hess!”

Ethan Smith coldly said, “Among them, there may be people from the Taylor family.”

This feeling was incredibly strong. Even after killing these people, Ethan Smith wasn’t reassured.

“If Joshua Hess returns later, it will prove my suspicion,” said Ethan Smith, looking at Toby Bacchus.

“As for what to say, you can figure it out.”

“Figure out what the hell!” Toby Bacchus fumed in frustration.

“These people were the elites of the Great Saint Sect. With so many casualties at once, how am I supposed to explain this!”

Ethan Smith said, “You can tell him I was here, but remember, don’t mention anything about my cultivation in the Spiritual Spring.”

In a cold voice, Toby Bacchus said, “I really regret colluding with you.”

“It’s not too late to regret now. I can kill you, and then you won’t have to explain anything.” Ethan Smith’s chilly eyes rested on Toby Bacchus.

Feeling the murderous intent radiating from Ethan Smith, Toby Bacchus froze.

He bit his lip and stiffly said, “All right, I got it.”

Without lingering, Ethan Smith left the Great Saint Sect immediately.

After leaving the Great Saint Sect, instead of rushing back to Green Moon Villa, Ethan Smith stayed temporarily in Cango City, waiting for an opportunity.

In the evening.

Just as expected, Joshua Hess hurriedly returned to the Great Saint Sect.

Seeing Joshua Hess’s furious expression, Toby Bacchus couldn’t help but shudder.

“Did Ethan Smith come by?” asked Joshua Hess, glaring coldly at Toby Bacchus.

Suppressing his nervousness, Toby Bacchus feigned surprise, “Sect Master, how did you know?”

The color drained from Joshua Hess’s face!

He clenched his fist and ground out through gritted teeth, “So he really did come…Ethan Smith…”

“Not only did he come by, he also slaughtered more than ten of our men,” Toby Bacchus said, pretending to be distressed.

“If I hadn’t run fast enough, I would probably also be dead by now.”

“Ethan Smith…Ethan Smith, I vow to kill you!!!” Joshua Hess’s enraged roar echoed through the entire Great Hall.

Toby Bacchus couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Damn, luckily he didn’t suspect me.

…

Elsewhere, Ethan Smith found a place and temporarily settled down.

That night, Toby Bacchus sent Ethan Smith a message:

Everything happened just as you guessed. Joshua Hess came back and he knows that you were here.

Ethan Smith’s brows furrowed. He put down his phone and patted his chest lightly.

“That was a close one. If I hadn’t thought of this, I would probably be dead by Joshua Hess’s hands now.” Ethan Smith patted his chest again, his relief palpable.

…

Capital City, the Blair family.

After falling into a coma for many days, Dexter Blair finally woke up.

“Son, you’re finally awake.” Seeing Dexter awake, Reilly Blair couldn’t suppress the tears welling up in his eyes.

Dexter Blair gnashed his teeth and said, “Dad, where’s Ethan Smith? I want to kill him… I want to kill him!!”

Mentioning Ethan Smith, Reilly Blair couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He gently patted Dexter Blair’s shoulder and said, “Rest well first.”

“No! I need to kill Ethan Smith! He has to die!” Saying this, Dexter tried to struggle to get up.

Seeing this, Reilly could only console him, “Don’t worry, I’ll avenge you. I’ve already leveraged my connections and asked Jim Cobb to take action.”

“Jim Cobb?” Dexter exclaimed in surprise.

“Is that the same Jim Cobb who was all the rage decades ago before he went into seclusion?”

Reilly Blair said coldly, “Exactly.”
