Chapter 691: Chapter 691: 691: Exchange Emily Taylor for it!

Ethan Smith coldly looked at Davy Barnett, who involuntarily tensed up.

As the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, he had seen countless storms in his lifetime.

Facing Ethan Smith now, Davy Barnett couldn’t help but shout, “Ethan Smith, don’t go too far! I’m the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association! Do you know the consequences of threatening us?!”

At this reminder, Ethan Smith seemed to come to a realization.

He sneered, “I’ve changed my mind, I’m only giving you two days, remember, no more than two days.”

“If I don’t see Emily Taylor in two days, I’ll publicly execute the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association!”

“If the higher-ups don’t mind the shame, feel free to do as you please!”

Leaving these words behind, Ethan Smith turned around and left.

Vernon Sherman and Hadwin Webster followed Ethan Smith, with no one daring to obstruct their path.

After leaving the Capital City Martial Arts Association, Ethan Smith went straight back to Green Moon Villa.

There wasn’t much time left for Vernon Sherman and Hadwin Webster, so Ethan Smith could only give the Capital City Martial Arts Association a maximum of two days.

If the Capital City Martial Arts Association did not release Emily Taylor after two days, Ethan Smith would kill the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, in front of the entire world!

Soon, news of this event spread.

It was the first time in history that the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association had been captured!

“Even the president is captured, this is so fucking unbelievable…”

“Yeah, to capture a thief, you catch the leader first; truly worthy of Ethan Smith.”

“For Emily Taylor, Ethan Smith really pushed the limits…”

For a time, there was lively discussion everywhere, with almost everyone talking about this matter.

The president’s capture had undoubtedly tarnished the reputation of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

At the Capital City Martial Arts Association, Emerson Holmes silently smoked a cigarette.

Thinking for a while, Emerson Holmes got up and walked towards his office.

Once inside the office, Emerson Holmes closed the door tightly, and then dialed a phone call to Ethan Smith.

At this moment, Ethan Smith was sitting cross-legged in his room.

His face was icy, his eyes slightly closed, yet even so, one could still feel the murderous spirit lingering around him.

Seeing Emerson Holmes’ call, Ethan Smith frowned, and picked up the phone.

“Hello,” Ethan Smith answered calmly.

On the other end, Emerson Holmes got straight to the point: “Ethan Smith, for the higher-ups, Davy Barnett is just a pawn, and they probably won’t agree to your request.”

At these words, Ethan Smith’s face instantly turned vicious.

He took a deep breath and said, “Who exactly are these higher-ups?”

Emerson Holmes bitterly laughed, “No one knows their identity, not even Davy Barnett.”

Ethan Smith fell into silence.

He didn’t have a deep understanding of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and knew even less about these higher-ups.

“Davy Barnett is after all the president, well known to the world. Even if they don’t care about his life, they will care about his identity as the president.” Ethan Smith said in a deep voice.

As Ethan Smith said, even an aristocratic family would care deeply about their reputation, let alone the Capital City Martial Arts Association?

The news of Davy Barnett’s capture was making waves.

If the Capital City Martial Arts Association couldn’t even retrieve their president, they would not only lose face, but also lose their authority and prestige!

“Let’s hope so,” Emerson Holmes said solemnly.

Ethan Smith sneered, “Even if they really abandon Davy Barnett, it would also be beneficial for me.”

“Upon killing Davy Barnett, you will become the next president.”

Emerson Holmes was stunned for a moment, then bitterly laughed, “That’s true indeed.”

Ethan Smith grunted in acknowledgement and said, “If there’s any news, remember to inform me.”

After dropping this sentence, Ethan Smith promptly hung up the phone.

Then, Ethan Smith got up and walked out of his room, eventually arriving at a dark basement.

The basement was extremely damp and dark, and Ethan Smith had even thrown the masked woman’s coffin in there.

The entire basement was extremely cold, so cold that even Davy Barnett’s face turned blue and swollen.

In the basement, there was a small dog cage.

At this moment, Davy Barnett was locked in the dog cage, guarded by Vernon Sherman and Hadwin Webster.

Davy Barnett shook uncontrollably inside the cage, his face pale and in great pain.

Seeing Ethan Smith, Davy Barnett quickly grabbed onto the cage.

“Ethan Smith, let me out!” Davy Barnett roared angrily.

Ethan Smith coldly glanced at Davy Barnett and said, “What’s the matter, are you feeling very painful?”

Davy Barnett clenched his teeth and replied, “I am the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association! You locked me in such a small dog cage, I…I will kill you!”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but laugh, “What, now you know the taste of humiliation too? When Emily Taylor was locked in your prison, didn’t she suffer too?”

“All those martial artists who were forcibly charged with crimes simply because their opinions differed from your Association, don’t they have any dignity!?”

With a loud roar, the entire cage vibrated!

And the entire basement was filled with dust that fell down.

“Davy Barnett, I told you, I will make you suffer a hundred, even a thousand times more pain!” Ethan Smith sneered.

Davy Barnett angrily stared at Ethan Smith and said, “The Capital City Martial Arts Association won’t let you go, you are dead!”

Ethan Smith didn’t bother to pay attention to Davy Barnett, kicked the cage, and turned to walk out.

At this time, a meeting was taking place in the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

In the meeting room, those high-ranking officials were still hiding in the shadows.

And the person chairing the meeting was not Davy Barnett, but Emerson Holmes.

“Ethan Smith broke into the prison, accompanied by two extremely powerful individuals,” Emerson Holmes reported truthfully.

“President Barnett, holding a Martial Saint Weapon, not only failed to harm Ethan Smith at all but also had the Prajna Ruler taken from him.”

The entire meeting room fell silent.

After what seemed like a long time, someone finally spoke up: “Davy Barnett is, after all, the president; he cannot die; even if he dies, he cannot die at the hands of Ethan Smith.”

“Yes, one way or another, we need to bring him back.”

Hearing this, Emerson Holmes hurriedly said, “But… Ethan Smith said he wants us to exchange Emily Taylor for his release. Do we… agree to his request?”
