Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1223

Chapter 1223: Chapter 123: The Order to Kill Ethan Smith Chapter 1223: Chapter 123: The Order to Kill Ethan Smith “It's already reserved by someone?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brow.

“Right, that's why I had to trick him to take his array flag,” Kingsley Kelley muttered from the side.

“Thank you,” Ethan expressed his gratitude, giving a slight bow to Kingsley.

As to who exactly had reserved the array flag, Ethan didn't rush to ask.

If they didn't have eight array flags, those few would be useless.

It was uncertain if they could even find eight array flags on Earth. In the end, they might choose to cooperate. So, there was no need to negotiate at a high cost right now.

“Where's the Purple Jade Primordial Snake?” Ethan asked.

Kingsley answered, “It's in the Island Master's manor. It's brought out every night at eight for people to challenge.”

“Alright, then there's no problem,” Ethan said as he stood up.

“Sir, take your time with your meal. I'll take my leave first.”

With that, Ethan left the tavern with Kingsley.

Once they were outside, Kingsley handed over the array flag.

Ethan examined it carefully. It was indeed the teleport array flag from the Holy Region.

“Thank you,” Ethan said again.

Kingsley scratched his nose and chuckled, “Mr. Smith, about the matter you promised me before?”

Ethan smacked his forehead, just remembering the matter.

He observed Kingsley from top to bottom. Since he didn't have any spiritual power, it was impossible to determine his potential.

But regardless, he had promised Kingsley, and regardless of natural talent, he had to accept him as a disciple.

“Alright, I agree,” Ethan laughed.

Kinglesy was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Thank you, Mr. Smith! Oh, I mean… Master!”

It felt strange to be called “Master” for the first time, but Ethan didn't dwell on it.

At a certain level, people will inevitably come to seek guidance.

Often, it's not your own choice to start forming branches and leaves, it just happens naturally when you reach that position.

“By the way, what's the story behind the Purple Jade Primordial Snake?” Ethan asked.

“It's said that the Island Master somehow got his hands on this vicious Demonic Beast. Some people believe it's a branch of an ancient rare beast, and the Island Master keeps it as a pet,” Kingsley revealed.

“The Purple Jade Primordial Snake is extremely venomous and ferocious. Many rush to challenge it, but most end up dying by its venom.”

Kingsley paused then added mysteriously, “Its entire body is poisonous. Some die instantly from touching its body. Master, you have to be careful.”

Ethan Smith touched his chin, mumbling, “From the sounds of it, I can't touch it at all…”

“That's pretty much it,” Kingsley confirmed.

“So that's part of the difficulty.”

Aside from this, Ethan had another doubt.

If the Island Master cherished the Purple Jade Primordial Snake as a pet, then he presumably loved it a great deal.

If Ethan were to slaughter it, who knows if the Island Master would fly into a rage.

“Whatever, forget it,” Ethan muttered to himself.

Since it's an open challenge issued by himself, it's only deserved if the Purple Jade Primordial Snake got killed.

If the Island Master became livid, Ethan wasn't afraid in the least.

To be blunt, in the current era, Ethan feared no one.

The island was bustling with activity–martial artists were searching for Dharma Treasures in the underground market while the wealthy were enjoying themselves.

Under Kingsley's lead, Ethan was wandering around the underground market.

Aside from bartering goods, some people were even trading in lives in this market.

The assassins' charges were also extremely high, with the minimum requirement being nine-figure sums.

“Master, someone tried to take your life and the price offered was ridiculous,” Kingsley suddenly remarked.

Ethan was slightly startled by this statement.

“Who?” Ethan asked curiously.

“I don't know, but in the end no one dared to take the job,” Kingsley replied.

Ethan wasn't too surprised. Over the years, he had offended countless people, both openly and covertly. He had too many enemies to count, so someone wanting to kill him was not surprising.

“Eh, it's here,” Kingsley said, having arrived in front of a shop.

This shop was a place where assassins accepted offers.

Clients would offer money and information, and the shop would publicize it, waiting for the assassins to show up.

They took a 10% cut from the payment, a system that was more or less fair.

The two entered the shop, and as soon as they did, Kingsley pointed to a piece of information on the wall, “Master, look, it's still up!”

Looking up, sure enough, Ethan's information was still publicly displayed on the wall.

As for the offered conditions, they included currency and treasures.

Aside from some rare herbs, there were also fluids from unidentifiable beasts.

Ethan stroked his chin, murmuring, “The ones who can offer these conditions… there aren't many…”

“Boss, who is the client for this information?” Kingsley asked.

The shopkeeper gave Kingsley a glance and answered, “Protecting the client's privacy is our basic principle, don't you know that?”

Kingsley chuckled awkwardly, and decided to remain silent.

“So, are you two taking this target? It's been up for quite some time, and the price keeps rising,” the shopkeeper said.

Ethan waved his hand, laughing, “We're not interested. Just browsing.”

After saying that, Ethan was ready to leave with Kingsley.

Just then, a young man walked in.

As soon as he entered, he pointed at Ethan's information on the wall and declared, “I'll take this job.”

Upon hearing this, Ethan, who was about to exit, immediately stopped in his tracks.
