Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1518

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Anxiety Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Anxiety “The strength of the Leader of the Cloud Sect is even more formidable than we imagined,” Ethan Smith whispered.

Justin Vasquez nodded slightly and said, “None of us have experienced the time when the Cloud Sect expanded, so we do not have an accurate understanding of the sect master's strength.”

At this point, Justin looked at Ethan and laughed, “That's why we admire you for daring to offend the Cloud Sect.”

At this moment, Ethan remembered what the Leader of Cloud Sect had said before.

He said that if he wanted to kill Ethan Smith, Ethan would already be dead.

Ethan didn't believe it at the time, but now he did.

Back then, he probably wouldn't have lasted even a single round in the leader's hands.

“Enough about this. Mr. Smith, what do you plan to do next?” Justin asked.

Ethan pulled Justin aside and said, “I've come to ask you for a favor.”

“You want to borrow the Silver Spring?” Justin asked.

Ethan waved his hands repeatedly and said, “It's not time yet. This time, I want you to help me with guarding.”

“Are you going to break through?” Justin said in surprise.

Ethan nodded and said, “Although the Cloud Sect is now stretched thin and unable to make a move against me, there is still the North Plain lurking.”

“Therefore, I must find a safe place and a reliable person.”

After a moment of silence, Justin said, “Mr. Smith, why don't you go to Divine Capital City? That should be the safest place.”

Ethan smiled bitterly, “To be honest, I've considered going to the Divine Capital City, but it's not just mine anymore.”

“There are too many people and mixed motives. Who can guarantee that they won't inform the North Plain?”

Justin nodded slightly and said, “That's true.”

Although Ethan had provided them with a place to stay, there was actually no real bond between them.

“Mr. Smith, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a few days. I'll find a safe place for you,” Justin said.

Ethan nodded and said, “Thank you, brother Justin. And please make it as soon as possible.”

“Certainly,” Justin nodded.

Not far away, Guinevere Lee was secretly listening to their conversation.

Ethan had no idea that Guinevere had used a secret technique to eavesdrop on their conversation, hearing everything clearly.

Afterward, the two returned to the pavilion.

“Everyone, I apologize for my temporary absence. I have some errands to run outside. Please make yourself at home,” Justin said.

The guests seemed to gather at the Vasquez family's residence quite often, so even when Justin had to leave, they showed no intention of leaving.

It seemed that they could freely use everything in the Vasquez family's possession.

This was simply a classic example of generosity.

“Mr. Smith, I won't waste any time. I'll go and take care of it now,” Justin said.

Ethan slightly bowed as a gesture of gratitude.

After he left, Ethan sat in the pavilion, chatting with the others.

It wasn't until midnight that everyone slowly dispersed.

Just as Ethan was about to go back to his room to sleep, Guinevere suddenly called out to him.

She quickly walked up, smiling and said, “Mr. Smith, I'm sorry for leaving suddenly last time. I had some urgent matters.”

Ethan sneered, “Miss Lee, you don't have to apologize to me. I don't care why you left.”

Guinevere couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed, but she still brazenly said, “Mr. Smith, I must admit, I truly admire you. If you…”

“Miss Lee, let me make it clear, I'm not the least bit interested in you,” Ethan said coldly.

“I've made it clear enough last time. Don't waste your effort on me.”

Guinevere hurriedly said, “Is it because I left without notice last time? I really was…”

“You're overthinking it,” Ethan shook his head, “No matter what you do, I'm not interested in you.”

After leaving those words, Ethan turned and left.

Guinevere gazed at Ethan's retreating figure, clenching her teeth in anger.

“Fine, Ethan Smith, you're just too arrogant! Since it has come to this, don't blame me for being rude!” A trace of viciousness flashed in Guinevere's eyes.

At this time, the great war in the Cloud Sect was still raging on without any respite.

Both sides had been fighting for several days, but Eternal City remained unable to advance even half a step.

Whenever they felt close to conquering the Cloud Sect, new forces would emerge from within the sect's ranks.

“After six days of fierce fighting, and still no result, if it continues like this, it would not be in Eternal City's favor,” someone commented from a hidden location.

“Right. The external forces of the Cloud Sect are rushing back, and even more guests and retainers are sitting in their sect. If they all return, Eternal City is bound to be defeated!”

“Normally, Eternal City should understand this, so why don't they retreat?”

“There's only one possibility – Eternal City is also waiting for reinforcements. Could it be Ethan Smith?”

“A mere Ethan Smith wouldn't change much. Let's wait and see.”

The war raged on, Eternal City relied on heaven-defying means to kill countless enemies, but their own injuries were severe, and more than half of the loyal sons were dead or wounded.

“Father, if we keep dragging like this, I'm afraid we'll lose,” one of the loyal sons said anxiously.

Eternal City remained silent, but was extremely angry at heart.

North Plain had promised to strike when the time was right, yet the war had lasted for a full five days, and there was still no sign of them!

“Father, why don't we retreat for the time being and fight again after recuperating?” one of the loyal sons suggested.

Eternal City remained silent, looking at the broken walls all around. The thought of retreating had arisen in his heart.

However, he knew full well the saying of exhausting oneself after three strikes.

If they failed the first time, it would become even more difficult later on.

“Father, our people are exhausted, and there seem to be mysterious techniques in the Cloud Sect, each of them is full of energy. If we continue like this, we'll really die here!” one of the loyal sons said urgently.

At this point, Eternal City had no other choice.

He took a deep breath and then roared, “The Cloud Sect, listen up! Today, I'll spare your lives for now, but I'll definitely return to take revenge!”

After leaving those words, he waved his hand and said coldly, “Retreat!”

Eternal City's forces retreated from the Cloud Sect and stationed themselves in a city a hundred stars away.

As the others watched them leave, they couldn't help but sigh.

“Indeed, the Cloud Sect is a tough nut to crack. It's difficult for Eternal City to handle them alone.”

“Yeah, unless the three lunatics and the three extremes join forces, it'll be hard to bite into this tough nut.”

“Eternal City won't let this go easily. This is their only chance to get rid of the Cloud Sect. If they don't seize the opportunity to eliminate the Cloud Sect, once the Cloud Sect regains its strength, they will definitely destroy Eternal City!”

The crowd of spectators in hiding didn't leave either. They knew it wouldn't be long before Eternal City returned to the fray.

More importantly, they were waiting, curious if the North Plain would take advantage of the situation.
