Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1549

Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549: Treat Others as they Treat Themselves Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549: Treat Others as they Treat Themselves Watching the continuously increasing prices, Ethan Smith knew in his heart that he didn't have any chance at all.

He sat there, feeling extremely conflicted, as if being whipped and interrogated.

Whether to forcefully seize the item or not caused Ethan Smith to be indecisive for a moment.

In the end, the Beast Spirit Pill Formula was sold for eight billion.

The one who obtained this formula was an elderly man who seemed very ordinary at first glance.

His attire was very plain, not at all like a wealthy person.

Seeing this made the already conflicted Ethan Smith feel even more guilty.

“This concludes the Azure Rock Forest Auction. Please leave the venue in an orderly manner,” said Ned Holmes.

People who didn't manage to win anything gradually left the place.

Ethan Smith got up and, following Ned Holmes, headed backstage.

Upon arriving backstage, the Bronze Coffin was placed in a very prominent position.

It was quite a coincidence that the elderly man who won the Beast Spirit Pill Formula stood right next to Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, attempting to discern his strength.

Unfortunately, within this castle, everyone's aura was impossible to discern.

“Old sir, I'm sorry,” Ethan Smith whispered in his heart.

He completed the necessary procedures backstage and then stored the Bronze Coffin in his Spatial Magic Artifact.

After securing the Bronze Coffin, Ethan Smith couldn't help but take a few extra glances at Ned Holmes.

There's no denying that Ned Holmes had an extremely alluring appearance, exuding a charm that was not ordinary but rather hard to resist.

“Who exactly is this Ned Holmes?” Ethan Smith wondered in his heart.

People who walk out from the depths of the Azure Rock Forest are no ordinary people.

With Ethan Smith's current strength, he might not even have the qualifications to investigate this matter.

After collecting the Bronze Coffin, Ethan Smith turned and left the castle.

Outside the castle, numerous sects were waiting anxiously.

Many rogue cultivators who served the sects handed over their Dharma Treasures, only to be ruthlessly kicked away afterward.

Any previous promises became nothing but fleeting memories.

These sects firmly denied their promises, unmoved by the desperate pleas of the rogue cultivators.

Some rogue cultivators couldn't swallow this humiliation and fought against the sects. In the end, they perished altogether.

Seeing this scene, Ethan Smith couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

As expected, none of these sects could be trusted.

At this moment, Francis Lee, accompanied by a young man, walked towards Ethan Smith.

Meanwhile, representatives of the sects that Ethan Smith had entrusted also gathered before him.

They surrounded Ethan Smith so tightly that he couldn't leave.

Francis Lee stepped forward first, asking with a smile, “Young friend, how did the auction go? Did you gain anything?”

“Of course, it was quite rewarding,” Ethan Smith replied indifferently.

Francis Lee was delighted, quickly asking, “What did you get? Hurry up and show us.”

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow and said, “Don't be anxious. Give me the commission you promised first, and I will naturally hand over the treasures.”

Upon hearing this, a cold smirk flashed across Francis Lee's face.

The young man beside him sneered, “What commission? Kid, what are you talking about?”

The other sects surrounding Ethan Smith also chimed in, “Kid, are you still half-asleep? Commission? What commission? There's no commission.”

Ethan Smith sneered, “It seems that you all want to deny your promises. Is it fitting to be so untrustworthy as a human being?”

“Young man, you need to understand one thing. Trust can only be established when both parties are on an equal footing. Do you think you're equal to us?” Francis Lee said with a smile that wasn't quite a genuine smile.

Ethan Smith suddenly understood and nodded, “I see. Our standings are indeed unequal. In that case, please make way for me.”

Having said that, Ethan Smith turned to leave.

Francis Lee stretched out his hand to block Ethan Smith's path.

His face darkened as he asked, “What do you mean by this, young friend?”

Ethan Smith sneered, “I don't mean anything. I just want to leave. What's the problem?”

“Hand over the treasure, and you can go wherever you want,” Francis Lee said coldly.

Ethan Smith mimicked their tone and said, “Treasures? What treasures? What are you talking about? I can't understand what you're saying.”

Francis Lee paused, then angrily retorted, “Kid, are you trying to play us? Where are the things you obtained from the auction?”

“What does what I obtained have to do with you?” Ethan Smith sneered.

With narrowed eyes, Francis Lee said, “You did use our money.”

“Your money? What money? I didn't know about that. That's all my money,” Ethan Smith mocked.

“Are you fucking looking for death? You're trying to play us, aren't you?” The young man beside Francis Lee said angrily.

Ethan Smith sneered, “Trust is built upon an equal footing. Do you think you're equal to me?”

At this moment, Francis Lee and the others also understood.

Ethan Smith was obviously playing them!

“Kid, dare to play us? You must be tired of living,” Francis Lee said, murderous spirit emitting from his body.

The other sect members also slowly approached Ethan Smith, ready to attack at any moment.

“Mr. Lee, let me teach this kid a lesson!” The young man beside Francis Lee shouted.

As soon as he spoke, he immediately launched an attack, aiming straight for Ethan Smith's vital points!

Ethan Smith merely stood there, unmoving, and coldly watched him.

“Bam!”

The young man's fist struck Ethan Smith's chest solidly, but it felt like hitting a steel wall, causing him to retreat two steps while clutching his sore wrist!

“Huh? How can this be?” The young man was dumbfounded.

Ethan Smith swept his cold gaze over everyone and said, “I advise all of you to get lost immediately, or else you'll lose more than just money.”

“You're courting death!” The young man, unconvinced, charged at Ethan Smith again!

This time, Ethan Smith didn't sit and wait. He swung his palm and slapped the young man's face!

With just a single slap, the young man's head and primordial spirit were shattered!

Upon seeing this, everyone present gasped in shock!

One slap shattered his primordial spirit? What kind of strength did this young man possess? Was he pretending to be weak and waiting for an opportunity to strike?

“You dare kill someone from our Beacon Tower! You'll have to pay the price for this!” Francis Lee said coldly.

Before he could act, Ethan Smith had already slapped him across the face too.

Another slap! Another similar outcome!

Francis Lee's head and primordial spirit were also directly shattered! He didn't even understand what had happened in his final moments!

Everyone present was stupefied! What kind of strength did this person possess to kill an elder of the Beacon Tower with just one slap?

“You… who are you!?” Someone shouted.

Ethan Smith's aura slowly radiated outwards.

Golden Light flickered around his body.

As a terrifying oppression approached, everyone present felt as if a giant mountain was pressing on their bodies, making even walking extremely difficult!
