Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1667

Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: Righteous or Evil_1 Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: Righteous or Evil_1 Not many people knew about this matter, yet the mysterious person in front of him seemed to know it in great detail!

“What do you mean?” Ethan Smith said with a cold face.

Instead of answering his question, the stranger said in a deep voice, “I came to tell you not to trust anyone easily. If you don't want to die, don't go to the Eastern Land. It's not something you can meddle in!”

After throwing down these words, he turned around and walked away.

“Who exactly are you? Stop!” Ethan Smith shouted as he immediately chased after him!

The man's speed was incredibly fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ethan Smith snorted, then quickly activated the line word formula and pursued.

However, he was amazed to find that even with the line word formula, he couldn't catch up to the mysterious person!

“How is it possible!” It made Ethan even more shocked. It was hard to find anyone in the Southern Province faster than Ethan Smith!

The mysterious person in front of him must be extremely powerful!

Soon, the mysterious person completely disappeared from his sight.

Ethan Smith stood there, his face ice-cold.

“Is someone… following me?” Ethan Smith took a deep breath, feeling uneasy deep inside.

Soon, Justin Vasquez caught up to him.

“Where is he?” Justin asked.

Ethan shook his head and said, “He's too fast; I couldn't keep up.”

Justin said in a deep voice, “What did he mean by that…? Why doesn't he want us to go to the Eastern Land? Could my guess be correct?”

“It shouldn't be.” Ethan still did not want to believe it.

He remembered the time when he and Forrest Middleton engaged in a discourse, and Forrest never seemed like a liar.

Moreover, there was no point in deceiving him.

If Forrest had really wanted to kill Ethan, Ethan would have been dead a hundred times already.

But why did this mysterious person suddenly appear and warn him? Who was he, and what were his intentions?

Countless thoughts surfaced in Ethan's mind, making him feel as if his brain was about to explode.

“Let's rest for a while and think about it before making any decisions,” Justin patted Ethan's shoulder.

Ethan nodded, feeling somewhat bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

So, the two temporarily stopped in a nearby city.

They sat in a quiet teahouse, facing each other in silence.

“Such a powerful person is rare in the Southern Province, unless he is not from there,” Justin finally spoke.

Ethan nodded slightly, as he had gone through everyone he knew but couldn't figure out who the stranger was.

“Could it really be someone from the Taylor family?” Ethan took a deep breath, feeling a chill on his back.

If it were someone dispatched by the Taylor family, it must have been Emily Taylor, since Ethan's current power wasn't worth their attention.

If it were Emily Taylor's doing, they would have to reconsider their plans.

Because anyone could harm Ethan, except Emily Taylor.

“Mr. Smith, what do you think?” Justin asked on the side.

Ethan opened his mouth, intending to ask Justin to help him analyze the situation, but then he felt it was better to keep the matter concerning the Taylor family confidential, so he shook his head in the end.

“Let me think about it carefully,” Ethan said in a deep voice.

Afterward, he looked at Justin and asked, “Justin, what do you know about Forrest Middleton?”

Justin replied seriously, “I wouldn't say I know him well, but I do know some things about him. He and my father were friends back in the day.”

Ethan nodded slightly, signaling for him to continue.

Justin went on, “Forrest Middleton is a very strange man, his cultivation is so extreme that it's terrifying. That was my father's evaluation of him.”

“It's said that at his peak, he almost unified the whole Rayleigh Province. If it weren't for the dead river blocking his path, the situation now would have been very different.”

Ethan responded, “I've heard of that. What about him as a person?”

“It's hard to say,” Justin frowned.

“He's not too old, a few years younger than my father. As far as I know, he was born in a small mountain village with no special background and climbed his way up by stepping on the corpses of others.”

“But my father said his success relied on his own strength, not conspiracy or underhanded tactics, because few people in the Southern Province can completely stop him.”

Ethan nodded, having the same impression of Forrest Middleton.

“But there's one problem,” Justin suddenly said.

Ethan looked at Justin, waiting for his follow-up.

Justin went on, “Don't forget about Ken Middleton. Both men look the same, so it's impossible to determine whether an action is done by Ken or Forrest.”

Ethan's face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, “You mean… many good aspects could have been done by Ken Middleton for Forrest?”

“It's possible since the incident with the nine saints involved Ken and not Forrest. If it had been Forrest, chances are the nine people would have already been dead by now,” explained Justin.

Ethan fell silent, considering Justin's reminder. It was indeed possible.

Ken Middleton hid behind a mask all the time, and no one knew he was Forrest's brother.

So, with Ken acting under Forrest's name, all credit would go to Forrest.

“If that's the case… it would be too terrifying,” Ethan's face showed a touch of unnaturalness.

“Who knows whether Forrest Middleton is good or evil?” Justin shook his head helplessly.

“You mentioned earlier that your father went to the Eastern Land and that it led to his demise. What do you mean by that?” Ethan inquired.

Justin was silent for a moment before saying coldly, “At that time, my father was in high spirits, entering the Reversion Void Stage. He was unparalleled in the Southern Province, but unlike the nine saints, he wasn't interested in conquest and focused solely on seeking the Dao.”

“After stepping into the Reversion Void Stage, he went to the Eastern Land. However, once he returned, he gradually declined and was later killed in a great battle.”

“Considering my father's ability, even if he couldn't win against his opponent, he should have been able to escape. But that time, he lost utterly.”

Ethan asked solemnly, “May I ask who killed your father? Was it related to Forrest Middleton?”

“It had nothing to do with Forrest. As for the person who killed my father, it was not someone from the Southern Province but rather from the Central Province,” Justin answered.

Ethan touched his chin, feeling more apprehensive.

Based on Justin's analysis, his father might have been killed through Forrest Middleton's manipulation.

Now that Forrest was suggesting Ethan go to the Eastern Land, could it be another attempt to use someone else's hand to kill?

“It's not possible! Forrest Middleton can't be that kind of person!” Ethan still refused to believe.

As of now, Ken Middleton was dead, and the person who discussed cultivation with Ethan must have been Forrest Middleton.

The Forrest from Cultivation Mountain, who obviously possessed great wisdom, would never resort to such petty actions, would he?
