Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Forced to Do It

Regarding this matter, Emerson had no clue.

Ethan walked all the way to Emerson, and just at that moment, he suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Emerson asked.

Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyebrows were suddenly furrowed.

Without waiting for Emerson to continue questioning, Ethan whispered, “Hit me.”

“Huh?” Emerson was stunned.

“Hurry up and hit me, stop talking nonsense!” Ethan yelled.

After that, Ethan took the first move with his fist enveloped in Golden Light, smashing it towards Emerson!

This punch directly broke Emerson’s chest! His whole body flew out horizontally!

Immediately, Ethan held onto his Golden Light and said coldly, “Emerson, do you really think you are a match for me by inviting me alone?”

Emerson lay on the ground, in unbearable pain.

He kept spitting out fresh blood from his mouth, making for a horrifying sight.

With Emerson’s strength, he was not a match for Ethan at all, and didn’t even have the qualification to fight back!

Before Emerson could react, Ethan already stepped towards him.

He grabbed Emerson’s collar and then violently threw him in a certain direction!

That direction was where the man in a purple robe was hiding!

“Not good!” The man in a purple robe’s expression changed, and he quickly stood up, vanishing into Qinvor Mountain at a rapid speed.

It was only after he had completely vanished that Ethan withdrew the murderous spirit from his body.

Once certain that no one was around, Ethan grabbed Emerson.

He placed his palm on Emerson’s chest, infusing his qi into it.

It took a full ten minutes for Emerson’s chest wound to slightly ease.

“You… What’s going on?” Emerson couldn’t help but shout angrily.

“I really thought you were going to kill me just now!”

Ethan glanced around and said coldly, “You are being watched.”

“What?” Emerson’s face instantly changed.

Ethan stepped on the ground and said, “Right at this spot, someone was hiding just now.”

“If I don’t do this, you’ll definitely be exposed.”

Emerson’s face turned a little ugly.

If this matter were exposed, it would undoubtedly mean death!

“Think carefully about who might be suspecting you,” Ethan frowned.

Emerson thought for a moment, and then shook his head: “I don’t know. I really can’t think of anyone.”

Ethan said solemnly, “Take your time. Since they sent someone to follow you, they will definitely cause trouble for you in the next few days. At that time, you will naturally know who it is.”

Emerson frowned and said, “But… If I don’t die at your hands, I’m afraid it won’t make sense.”

This was an issue Ethan hadn’t thought of.

He paced back and forth, rubbing his chin, and then said, “If someone asks you, just say that you promised to give me a medicinal herb, and only then did I spare your life.

“At the same time, after you go to the Capital City Martial Arts Association tomorrow, immediately find someone to gather herbs and take the initiative to start the trouble. Exaggerate the details of tonight’s incident.”

Emerson nodded and said, “Okay, I understand.”

“Next time something happens, I’ll come to you,” Ethan reminded.

Emerson agreed and replied, “I understand.”

“Let’s talk about the serious matter,” Ethan said as he sat on a broken stone.

Emerson said solemnly, “Today, senior management held a meeting for me. This meeting was specifically targeted at you.”

“Oh?” Ethan raised an eyebrow and motioned for Emerson to continue.

Emerson said, “They won’t take action against you for now, they’re probably waiting for Ms. Hayward.”

“I figured as much.” Ethan couldn’t help but sneer.

These high-ranking officials were quite cautious.

“That’s not the point.” At this moment, Emerson Holmes changed the topic.

“According to my investigation today, it seems that these eight high-ranking officials cannot personally take action.”

Afterwards, Emerson Holmes recounted the situation to Ethan Smith.

Upon hearing this, Ethan furrowed his brows deeply.

Why had none seen these eight high-ranking officials before, and why couldn’t they take action personally?

“Perhaps Ms. Hayward knows the secret,” Emerson reminded.

Ethan took a deep breath and nodded, “Alright. Since they can’t act personally, I should be relatively safe for now.”

If those eight high-ranking officials were to take action themselves, Ethan might not stand a chance of surviving.

“By the way, how is Ms. Hayward now?” Ethan asked.

Emerson replied, “She won’t wake up anytime soon. According to some information, that palm strike almost took her life.”

Ethan couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle.

The one who struck her was a Guardian! Their power was even above that of a mighty realm cultivator, which was simply incomparable to a Peak Form of Military Marquis.

“Alright, I got it,” Ethan stood up and said.

“You should go back. Remember, find out who suspects you as soon as possible.”

Emerson Holmes nodded, “Alright, I understand.”

After parting with Emerson, Ethan turned around and left Qinvor Mountain.

The next day.

Ethan, accompanied by the mustached man, left the Capital City and headed for the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

As soon as they arrived at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, countless alchemists swarmed to greet them.

“Master Smith, you’re back!” A group of alchemists rushed forward, surrounding Ethan in the middle.

“Ethan, you’ve really made a name for yourself lately,” Fifth Elder approached them as well.

Ethan forced a smile, “Fifth Elder, please don’t make fun of me.”

“I’m not joking with you,” Fifth Elder rolled his eyes.

“I knew you were talented, but I never expected that you’d grow to this extent today.”

Ethan let out an awkward laugh, and then asked, “Where is Lord Pavilion Master?”

“He’s waiting for you in the Pavilion Master Building,” Fifth Elder replied.

Ethan nodded, quickly making his way towards the Pavilion Master Building.

Once he arrived at the base of the building,

Ethan glanced at the mustached man and said, “Wait for me here. I’ll come down shortly.”

The mustached man impatiently waved his hand, “Fine, got it. Stop bothering me.”

His eyes glanced around, filled with a cunning and greedy expression.

Ethan couldn’t be bothered with him and immediately rushed up to the Pavilion Master Building.

At the edge of the Pavilion Master Building, the Pavilion Master and Jackson Harris were enjoying tea.

Ethan swiftly approached them, bowing and saying, “Greetings to Lord Pavilion Master and senior Jackson.”

“Sit,” the Pavilion Master gestured with his hand.

Ethan sat down directly opposite the Pavilion Master and smiled, “Lord Pavilion Master, if you need me to do anything, just say it.”

However, the Pavilion Master ignored the question and said indifferently, “Your battle with the Heaven Swallowing Python was truly earth-shattering.”

Ethan wryly smiled, “I’m currently worried. Once the Heaven Swallowing Python recovers from its injuries, it will definitely attack again.”

“I can’t handle the Power of Martial Saint it wields at all.”

Hearing this, the Pavilion Master laughed, “Why don’t you run away?”

Ethan bitterly smiled, “Run? I can only see Emily once I defeat it. If I miss this opportunity, I have no idea when the next one will come.”

Hearing this, the Pavilion Master and Jackson Harris exchanged amused glances.

Seeing their expressions, Ethan couldn’t help but ask with some surprise, “Lord Pavilion Master, do you have a solution?”
