Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1779

Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: Let Him Come Then Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: Let Him Come Then Two men looked at Forrest Middleton and said flatly, “Our young master's belongings were stolen in the Southern Province. The one who took action was someone named Ethan Smith.”

At this point, they paused and stared at Forrest Middleton before saying, “As the number-one figure in the Southern Province, it seems you even injured our young master, didn't you?”

Forrest Middleton's face grew increasingly cold as he said, “If you've got something to say, say it straight.”

“Alright!” One of the men stood up.

He clasped his hands behind his back and said lightly, “Our young master appreciates talent. Given that you didn't know our young master's identity, he's willing to forgive you. However, you must return our young master's stolen belongings and hand over the one who stole them to us.”

Upon hearing this, Forrest Middleton couldn't help but burst into cold laughter.

“Stole something? When has Ethan Smith ever stolen anything from your young master?” Forrest Middleton said coldly.

“What, anything he takes a fancy to automatically becomes his?”

It seemed these two men had already anticipated Forrest Middleton's attitude, so they remained unhurried.

“Forrest Middleton, strictly speaking, you won't escape this calamity either. Right now, though, our young master is giving you a chance. Don't lose something that's so hard to come by,” they said coldly.

Forrest Middleton's demeanor turned icy to the core.

“You have one minute to leave immediately,” Forrest Middleton said coldly.

The two men narrowed their eyes slightly and said in a threatening tone, “Forrest Middleton, once we leave Cloud Sect, you'll lose your chance forever.”

“If you don't leave, you won't have a chance either,” Forrest Middleton said, emitting a bone-chilling coldness.

The two men realized Forrest Middleton wouldn't be easy to deal with, and since confronting him wasn't their actual goal, they chose not to entangle themselves further.

“In that case, we won't disturb you any longer,” the two said coldly.

After leaving those parting words, they turned and walked away.

As they reached the door, one of them paused his steps.

“Oh, one more thing. Our young master's name is Addison Tenny. If you're interested, you can inquire about him,” he said before striding away.

Forrest Middleton's expression turned colder than ever; he hadn't expected these people to show up so swiftly.

As for the Tenny family, Forrest had little understanding of them, only knowing they were a fairly strong aristocratic family from the Central Province.

“Sect Master, what… what should we do?” the Deputy Sect Master asked, his brow tightly furrowed.

Forrest Middleton cast him a glance and said coldly, “There's nothing to worry about. Let them come; I'll wait for them.”

At this moment, Ethan Smith was entirely unaware of what had transpired. He had been unconscious in his cave abode for three days and was only now gradually waking up.

As soon as he woke up, he caught a whiff of fragrant meat.

Following the aroma, he saw Salena Carpenter voraciously gnawing on a roasted leg of meat.

Seeing Ethan Smith awake, she waved to him and said, “Come, have a taste! It's so damn delicious!”

*After sleeping for several days, Ethan Smith indeed felt quite hungry.* He walked over to Salena Carpenter and muttered, “Where did you get this from?”

Salena Carpenter pointed to the mountain forest not far away and said, “I went there. You wouldn't believe it–there's so much game in there!”

Ethan Smith glanced toward the mountain forest.

*It made sense. In a place so rich in spiritual energy, there were bound to be plenty of wild beasts.*

After feasting with Salena Carpenter, she stood up and said, “Let's go; it's time to take on some missions. I heard the assignments for today are out already.”

“Already?” Ethan Smith said, somewhat surprised.

“Of course! Looks like our luck's pretty good,” Salena Carpenter said with a grin.

She leapt up and perched herself on Ethan Smith's shoulders.

Afterward, the two headed toward the cave abode where missions were assigned.

When they arrived at the site, they found it already crowded with people.

Ethan Smith scanned the group and noticed that several among them had already entered the Reversion Void Stage.

“Ethan Smith, you're here too.”

Soon, a young man approached to greet him.

The young man was quite handsome, reminding Ethan Smith of Justin Vasquez.

So Ethan Smith nodded in acknowledgment, considering it a greeting.

The young man introduced himself, “My name is Willa Nox. You can call me Willa.”

Later, Willa said, “A few days ago, I watched the scene where you passed the test formation. To be honest, I was truly impressed.”

*His words made Ethan Smith feel somewhat embarrassed.*

After a casual chat, the two became relatively familiar with each other.

Willa gestured toward the missions ahead and said, “This time, all the missions are in the East state, so everyone's jumping at the chance. If you want to take one, I can go with you. With your current condition, it might be too dangerous to go alone.”

Ethan Smith quickly shook his head and said, “Thanks for the offer, but it's okay. I'm not used to working with others.”

*After all, Ethan Smith's goal was to devour others' primordial spirits, something that absolutely couldn't be exposed to outsiders.*

Seeing Ethan Smith insist, Willa had no choice but to nod and say, “Alright then, but be careful out there.”

“Alright.” Ethan Smith nodded in response.

Afterward, Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter reached the grotto-heaven where the missions were kept.

When they arrived, they found only one task remaining.

The mission was to kill someone named Bond Evans, a cultivator at the Reversion Void Stage, with detailed information about him provided above.

“What do you think? Any issues?” Ethan Smith looked up at Salena Carpenter.

Salena Carpenter replied nonchalantly, “Of course not. I could crush him with one hand!”

“Alright.” With that, Ethan Smith immediately accepted the mission.

After obtaining the mission, Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter left the cave abode.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw numerous Devil Hunters standing there chatting idly.

From time to time, their gazes fell on Ethan Smith, evidently discussing him.

At that moment, Willa approached and patted Ethan Smith on the shoulder, saying, “You should know this place is all about strength. Weaklings won't get any respect around here.”

“Your performance a few days ago earned you a Life Token to keep yourself safe, but that token comes with an expiration date. Make the most of it.”

*Ethan Smith nodded slightly, feeling little emotional turbulence.*

*From the nine main peaks of Thunder Courtyard, everyone who came to Demon-slaying Peak was ambitious and combative.*

*How could they respect the weak, especially someone perceived as having a damaged foundation?*

*Add to that Ethan Smith's previously striking feats, which contrasted sharply with his current strength–a sure recipe for garnering attention.*

“Don't worry. With me here, anyone who dares to mess with you will get beaten to a pulp!” Salena Carpenter said, swinging her tiny pink fists.

Ethan Smith chuckled and indulgently ruffled Salena Carpenter's hair.

Her annoyance was immediate. She glared and said, “You little bastard! No respect for your elders!”

*In terms of age, Ethan Smith was likely not even at the generational level of Salena Carpenter's grandson.*

Ethan Smith found her reaction amusing. Turning to Willa, he asked casually, “Willa, when can we get assigned a mission to the Central Province?”
