Chapter 816: Chapter 816: The Death of Ms. Hayward

“The method to remove the spirit binding technique?” Upon hearing this, Ms. Hayward couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Ethan Smith, so the higher-ups used the spirit binding technique on Emily Taylor. Hahaha! Even if you take her away, it’s useless! Hahaha!”

Ms. Hayward’s laughter was so loud that Ethan Smith’s ears hurt.

He frowned and said, “Can you stop laughing?”

Ms. Hayward sneered, “Ethan Smith, even if you take her away under the spirit binding technique, what’s the use?”

“Do you know how to break the spirit binding technique or not?” Ethan asked impatiently.

Ms. Hayward looked coldly at Ethan and said, “No, I don’t have the qualifications to access the spirit binding technique.”

“Even you can’t?” Ethan’s brow furrowed even more.

Ms. Hayward sneered, “On the surface, I am indeed a top-level member of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, but in their eyes, I’m nothing, not even a pawn.”

Ethan was silent, just as Ms. Hayward said, the higher-ups were the real leaders.@@novelbin@@

“Since that’s the case, I won’t bother you anymore.” Ethan Smith stood up, ready to leave.

“Wait.” At that moment, Ms. Hayward stopped Ethan.

“What, is there anything else?” Ethan turned and asked.

Ms. Hayward said solemnly, “You… never mind, you go.”

Ethan scoffed, “Fussy old woman.”

Leaving those words behind, Ethan prepared to leave.

Just then,

A flash of light suddenly flickered in the room.

In the instant the light appeared, a phantom figure emerged.

Ethan had seen this figure before; it was the old man he had encountered at the entrance to the Second Secret Realm.

Seeing the old man, Ms. Hayward’s face changed immediately.

She knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, “Greeting, master…”

The old man glanced around and said coldly, “Ethan Smith? Why is he here?”

“I’ll be wherever I please. None of your fucking business.” Ethan turned around and came back.

The old man coldly said, “Ethan Smith, you took Emily Taylor away, which is a capital offense. Do you know that?”

“I know your grandpa!” Ethan couldn’t help but curse.

“Old man, let me ask you, do you know how to remove the spirit binding technique?”

The old man chuckled, “Whether I know or not, do you think I would tell you?”

Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, “Old bastard, you just wait in the Second Secret Realm. Sooner or later, I’ll screw your head right off!”

It seemed the old man couldn’t be bothered to deal with Ethan. He looked at Ms. Hayward and then at little Broderick.

“Ms. Hayward, what about the task assigned by the higher-ups? Why haven’t you dealt with it?” The old man said coldly.

Ms. Hayward’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. She said tremblingly, “Master, please have mercy on me. I regard Broderick as my own child, I… I can’t do it…”

“If you can’t do it, then we will send someone to kill him.” The old man said coldly.

“No!” Ms. Hayward let out a sharp cry from her mouth.

She hurriedly turned around and said anxiously, “Broderick, take your bank card and run! The further away, the better!”

“Ms. Hayward, are you going to betray the Capital City Martial Arts Association!” the old man shouted.

Ms. Hayward gritted her teeth and said, “I’m willing to die for him! All the mistakes are because of me, Broderick has nothing to do with it…”

The old man’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He looked coldly at Ms. Hayward and said, “Do you really want to do this?”

“Yes, yes, I am willing to die for Broderick…” Ms. Hayward knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Broderick, who was on one side, was already anxious. He said urgently, “What gives you the right to let my mother die! I’ll kill you!”

“Broderick!!” Ms. Hayward stopped Broderick with one hand.

She trembled and said, “Listen to your mother, go quickly, the further away the better…”

The old man looked coldly at Ms. Hayward and said, “Since you are determined, I will not say anything more. This is your own choice, don’t blame me.”

After finishing speaking, the phantom figure waved its palm, and a layer of black gas suddenly boiled out of Ms. Hayward’s body!

It seemed to be a mark left by the Capital City Martial Arts Association on Ms. Hayward’s body, with the purpose of preventing betrayal!

Accompanied by the explosion of the black gas, Ms. Hayward’s mouth let out a painful scream!

“Mother!!” Broderick seemed to go mad, holding Ms. Hayward tightly in his arms.

But no matter what he did, he couldn’t stop the spread of the black gas!

Along with the explosion of the black gas, Ms. Hayward’s flesh was gradually being destroyed!

“Mother!” At this moment, Broderick was like a helpless child.

He tried his best to use his body to prevent the spread of the black gas.

But it was all in vain, and Broderick could only watch as Ms. Hayward’s body disappeared bit by bit.

“Broderick… run…” Ms. Hayward’s mouth struggled to utter these words.

In a moment, Ms. Hayward’s body completely turned into black gas and disappeared into the air.

“Mother!!!”

Broderick knelt on the ground, letting out a heartbreaking howl!

But the phantom figure was like an emotionless machine, just coldly snorting and slowly disappearing.

Broderick was half-kneeling on the ground, his face covered with tears.

His body trembled slightly, and because of excessive grief, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Afterward, his entire body seemed extremely weak, lying limply on the ground.

Ethan Smith stood silently nearby.

Ms. Hayward was dead, which was obviously good news for Ethan. However, at this moment, he couldn’t feel happy no matter what.

“The Capital City Martial Arts Association… really ruthless,” muttered Ethan.

“I’m going to kill them… I’m going to kill them…” Broderick kept repeating this sentence as tears mingled with blood covered his face.

Ethan stood in front of Broderick and said softly, “Make yourself stronger, strong enough to make the Capital City Martial Arts Association disappear.”

But Broderick, as if he were possessed, lay on the ground without saying a word.

Ethan sighed slightly, didn’t say anything else, and turned to leave.

Ms. Hayward was dead.

News of her death quickly spread throughout the Capital City and even the entire Pyro Nation.

“This year’s Capital City Martial Arts Association really isn’t going smoothly.”

“Yes, first the black and gold robe was killed, then the purple robe was killed, followed by Davy Barnett and Ms. Hayward. It’s really incredible.”

“It seems that Emerson Holmes is going to officially take over the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

“You have to admire Ethan Smith; he really messed up the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

Everyone knew that Ms. Hayward was dead, but no one knew she was killed by her own people from the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
