Chapter 756: Chapter 756: 756: The Prophecy of the Higher-ups

Ms. Hayward stood with her back facing Ethan Smith and her hands folded behind her, her face calm.

Ethan Smith looked at Ms. Hayward in front of him and sneered, “Trying to frame and trap me?”

“Hehe, I’m just telling the truth. Who do you think everyone will believe, me or you?” Ms. Hayward said with a smug expression.

Ethan Smith didn’t bother arguing with her and asked directly, “Just tell me, what’s the real reason you went out of your way to find me in the middle of the night?”

Ms. Hayward’s eyes narrowed, and a strong murderous spirit burst around her.

“Of course, to teach you a lesson!” Ms. Hayward said coldly.

“Teach me a lesson?” Ethan Smith was somewhat surprised.

“What, so your lackey Bert Mercer didn’t work out, and now you’re planning to take matters into your own hands?”

Ms. Hayward didn’t bother hiding it and said indifferently, “That’s right.”

“Tsk, you don’t have much faith in that beast you raised, do you? So persistent in wanting to take me down.” Ethan Smith sneered.

Ms. Hayward squinted and said, “Broderick cannot lose; no one can beat him! I will make him unbeatable!”

Ethan Smith casually touched his ears and said mockingly, “Are you planning to cripple me or kill me?”

“I just need to injure you.” Ms. Hayward grinned, revealing her yellow teeth.

A chilling and sinister aura enveloped the entire forest, the intense murderous spirit morphing into a fierce wind, cutting like a sharp blade, causing immense pain.

“You heard that, right? Did you record it?”

Just as Ms. Hayward was about to make her move, Ethan Smith suddenly pulled out his phone.

The voice of the man with the mustache came from the other end: “Don’t worry, I have it all recorded.”

Hearing this, Ms. Hayward’s face changed drastically!

She flicked her finger, instantly shattering Ethan Smith’s phone.

“No use, I was afraid you might destroy my phone, so I had the call ready with a friend.” Ethan Smith grinned, revealing a bright smile.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Old Thing, you’re getting on in years, you probably don’t understand modern high-tech gadgets, do you?”

Ms. Hayward was enraged! Her wrinkled face trembled non-stop!

Ethan Smith looked at Ms. Hayward coldly and said, “If you don’t want everyone to see your true colors, you’d better not try any tricks with me.”

“Otherwise, I promise to disgrace you and the beast you raised!”

Ms. Hayward glared at Ethan Smith, gritting her teeth and saying, “You little beast, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

Ethan Smith sneered, “Don’t worry, the moment I step into being a Martial Saint, you’ll be the first one I kill.”

After saying that, Ethan Smith turned and left.

Ms. Hayward stared fixedly at Ethan Smith, her body filled with strong murderous intent.

Watching Ethan Smith’s receding figure, Ms. Hayward trembled all over.

But in the end, she did nothing, allowing Ethan Smith to leave her sight.

She never imagined that her carefully planned scheme would be so easily unraveled.

…

The next day.

Ethan Smith and the man with the mustache walked together through the streets of the Martial Arts Academy.

“There’s a Mystic Realm up ahead.” Ethan Smith pointed to the Mystic Realm he had previously felt.

The man with the mustache mumbled, “How do you know?”

“I can’t explain it to you right now.” Ethan Smith gestured.

As they were talking, the two ran into Ms. Hayward and Broderick head-on.

They seemed to have come looking for Ethan Smith on purpose, blocking his way with one step forward.

The man with the mustache quickly hid behind Ethan Smith, looking cautious.

Ethan Smith, on the other hand, looked at the two expressionlessly.

“What is it, do you need something?” Ethan Smith asked coldly.

Ms. Hayward squinted and said, “Little beast, you’d better not leak that video.”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help laughing at this.

“What, you want to probe for information?” Ethan Smith said with a hint of mockery.

Ms. Hayward’s old face darkened, and her skinny claws clenched involuntarily.

Just as Ethan Smith said, Ms. Hayward was terrified that the video would be leaked.

“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t come looking for trouble again, I guarantee the video won’t be circulated.” Ethan Smith said indifferently.

Broderick took a step forward, his pitch-black eyes staring coldly at Ethan Smith.

“If I win, you destroy the video, agreed?” Broderick asked.

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Of course.”

Broderick said coldly, “You’d better keep your word.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t have a chance to win.” Ethan Smith said lightly.

After tossing those words, Ethan Smith and the man with the mustache prepared to leave.

“The one who recorded last night, it was you, right?” At that moment, Ms. Hayward suddenly looked at the man with the mustache with a chilling gaze.

The man with the mustache’s face darkened, and he braced himself to say, “Nonsense, I was asleep early last night.”

“Hehe,” Ms. Hayward sneered.

“You’d better be careful; picking the wrong person can get you killed.”

The man with the mustache coughed dryly, thinking in his mind, “I’ve already offended her, so why should I save face for her?”

With that thought, the man with the mustache straightened his back and said, “Old beast, you think The Master is afraid of you?”

Ms. Hayward’s face instantly darkened, and she opened her mouth to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

After answering the call, Ms. Hayward quickly adopted a respectful demeanor.

“Alright, I’ll be there right away.” Ms. Hayward nodded and bowed.

Ending the call, Ms. Hayward pointed at Ethan Smith and the man with the mustache and said coldly, “Let’s see how long you can be so arrogant.”

After tossing those words, Ms. Hayward hurriedly left.

As he watched Ms. Hayward’s receding figure, Ethan Smith’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Could it be… a call from the higher-ups?” Ethan Smith suddenly guessed something.

Just as Ethan Smith suspected, the call indeed came from the higher-ups.

And the content of the call was to summon Ms. Hayward to a meeting.

…

In the meeting room.

The eight senior officials were hidden in the darkness.

In the massive meeting room, only Ms. Hayward’s face could be seen.

Even Emerson Holmes was not qualified to attend this meeting, which indicated its importance.

“Welcome back, Senior Officials.” Ms. Hayward said respectfully.

There was silence in the room. After a while, someone spoke, “One of our people has just deduced heavenly secrets and received a prophecy.”

Ms. Hayward remained silent, waiting for them to continue.

“This prophecy concerns Ethan Smith.” Another voice emerged.

Hearing this, Ms. Hayward suddenly looked up.

She exclaimed, “What… what kind of prophecy?”

“According to the heavenly secrets, a Martial Saint will appear in this world,” the voice of a senior official came from the darkness.

Ms. Hayward’s face changed, and she quickly asked, “Could it be… Ethan Smith is that Martial Saint?”

“That’s right.”

“According to the prophecy, Ethan Smith will become that Martial Saint.”

Ms. Hayward’s face turned pale in an instant.

She knew all too well what it meant for a Martial Saint to appear in this world.
