Everyone was buzzing with discussion. Clearly, they thought it was a pity for Ethan Smith to be captured.
After all, over the years, Ethan Smith was the only one who had forcibly broken into the Capital City Martial Arts Associationâs prison.
His body was dragged along the ground, leaving a long trail of blood behind.
The blood-soaked Ethan looked miserable, and his comatose state made people unsure if he would live or die.
Soon, Ethan was taken to a cell opposite another prisoner.
The prisoner in the opposite cell was Emily Taylor.
The moment Ethan appeared, a flash of horror crossed Emilyâs pale face.
âClatteringâ¦â
Emilyâs struggle caused the pipes to make a loud rattling noise.
âEthanâ¦â Emily stared intently in Ethanâs direction, a hint of pain surfacing on her delicate face.
She didnât know the details, only that Ethan had been caught!
And Emily knew very well what it meant for Ethan to be captured!
âIâm sorry⦠Itâs all my faultâ¦â Emilyâs tears fell like broken strings of pearls, plinking onto the ground.
Her heartbreak erupted at this moment, and deep inside she felt immense guilt.
Ethan was thrown into the cell, and at this time, he was still unconscious.
He knew nothing about what was happening outside.
At this moment, the Capital City Martial Arts Association quickly took action.
Davy Barnett immediately reported the news to the higher-ups.
The higher-ups quickly convened a meeting.
Inside the meeting roomâ¦
The eight senior officials were still hidden in the darkness, their faces invisible to anyone.
âSince Ethan Smith has been caught, deal with him as quickly as possible,â a voice came from the darkness.
âYes, this man cannot be left alive, he must be killed as soon as possible.â
âEmerson Holmes, since you caught Ethan Smith, you are in charge of handling this matter.â
As soon Emerson heard this, he quickly stood up and said, âThank you for the recognition from the senior officials.â
âThis time, you have done great service, and the Capital City Martial Arts Association will remember it,â another voice said.
It seemed that everything was within Ethanâs calculations.
This also made Emerson secretly admire Ethan.
âThis Ethan Smith is not as simple as I had imagined,â Emerson thought to himself.
âBut⦠how will he escape?â
Emerson never managed to figure out an answer to this question.
Standing nearby, Davy Barnett said, âEveryone, the authorities are now also trying to capture Ethan Smith. In order for us to deal with him, Iâm afraid we have to report to our superiors and get the official documents.â
The senior officials were silent for a moment before replying, âThen hurry up and take care of it; he lives another day, I feel more uneasy.â
Davy Barnett was shocked by their words.
Had Ethan Smith really made the higher-ups so uneasy?
After the meeting, Davy looked at Emerson.
âEmerson, since the higher-ups have given you this task, hurry up and execute it. Get the documents as soon as possible,â Davy said coldly.
Emerson nodded and said, âDonât worry, I will naturally follow the orders of the senior officials.â
After saying that, Emerson turned and left.
It made Davy feel a bit annoyed.
Emersonâs meaning was clear: he was responsible to the higher-ups, not the president!
Davy looked coldly at Emersonâs retreating figure and sneered, âLittle people getting their moment of power, really thinking that catching Ethan Smith is enough to make them rise to the top?â
â¦
The news of Ethan Smithâs capture spread like wildfire.
Soon enough, almost everyone came to know about it.
âI heard that Ethan knew he was going to be caught and started his revenge!â
âI heard that too; he killed Toby Bacchus first then tried to kill Jordan Richards! Later, he went straight to Emerson Hollmesâ residence!â
âI heard that before being captured, Ethan killed a purple robe! That purple robe was the famous Nigel Reyes!â
âItâs unbelievable, itâs just a shame that itâs all over now.â
â¦
The Taylor and Blair families also quickly received the news.
In a natural secret chamber of Taylorâs family, Kylan Taylor stood by Dominic Taylorâs side.
This place was where Dominic Taylor remained in seclusion.
âDad, Ethan Smith was captured?â Dominic asked faintly with his eyes closed.
Kylan Taylor nodded and said, âYes, I heard that before he was caught, he forcefully killed a purple robe. It was because of this that Ethan ended up in Emersonâs hands when he was exhausted.â
Hearing these words, Dominic clenched his fists!
Killing a purple robe? Such an achievement had far surpassed Dominicâs!
Against ordinary black and gold robes, Dominic was still somewhat confident.
However, if facing a purple robe, he would have no chance of winning!
âDad, you go out. Iâm going to seclude myself,â Dominic took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
Kylan Taylor patted Dominicâs shoulder and said, âDonât think too much. Ethan Smith is already a dead man.â
âI know,â Dominic closed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.
â¦
At this time, the Blair family was celebrating.
Dexter held a glass of red wine, dancing excitedly.
The gap between him and Ethan had been widening, and he had long given up on catching up. He just hoped Ethan would die as soon as possible!
âDad, I heard that Ethan was placed opposite to Emily Taylor?â Suddenly, it seemed that Dexter thought of something and quickly stood up to speak.
Reilly nodded and said, âYeah, thatâs what Davy Barnett intended.â
Dexter narrowed his eyes and said coldly, âDad, I want to go and see Ethan.â
âSee Ethan? Have you gone mad?â Reilly frowned.
Dexter glanced at Reilly and said, âDad, I once said that I wanted to humiliate Ethan in front of Emily, but I didnât succeed. If I donât release this anger, Iâll never be satisfied!â
Reilly frowned and then said, âBut entering the prison of the Capital City Martial Arts Association is not that easy.â
âDad, you just find some connections, think of a way, okay?â there was some pleading in Dexterâs voice.
Reilly sighed in his heart.
Ever since the battle with Ethan, Dexter had become a useless person with no aspirations. All of this was due to the trauma of that battle.
âFine,â thinking of this, Reilly agreed with a serious face.
â¦
Inside the prison, Ethan was still unconscious.
But in his brain, countless images were playing non-stop.
Sweat appeared on Ethanâs forehead. Even in his unconscious state, he couldnât help but think about his plan.
âI must not fail, I must not failâ¦â Ethanâs thoughts were filled with terror.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and yelled, âI absolutely cannot fail!â
