Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1832

Chapter 1832: Chapter 1832: Frederick Cohen? Chapter 1832: Chapter 1832: Frederick Cohen? Addison Tenny's face fell grim, his heart filled with viciousness.

“Absolutely not.”

However, at that moment, Stanley Yoder suddenly stepped forward.

He was the elderly man who accompanied Addison Tenny to the Southern Province that day.

Although his power was nothing exceptional, his status within the Tenny family was quite high, and he had considerable influence.

“Why not?” Addison Tenny asked, somewhat puzzled.

Stanley Yoder said solemnly, “Our goal is not to kill Salena Carpenter. Whether she's alive or dead doesn't matter much to us. What's important is that we control her.”

“But if we kill her, will Ethan Smith still deliver himself to the Tenny family on a silver platter? If he turns desperate and reveals our major plan, that wouldn't bode well for the Tenny family.”

Though a bit displeased, after listening to Stanley Yoder, Addison Tenny had no choice but to agree.

“So, we just wait for him for a year?” Addison Tenny said, glowering.

Stanley Yoder glanced at him and said casually, “Good things come to those who wait. Patience is key.”

“More importantly, he won't be able to stir up much trouble in a year's time, and if he really goes into retreat, he wouldn't be the wiser even if we did kill Salena Carpenter.”

With a cold huff, Addison Tenny could only nod.

All this while, the oblivious Ethan Smith was in retreat.

Near the immortal grave, he was sensing the Dao of the Immortal Emperor and the boundless dark energy.

The Valepeak Buddha Flame hung over his head, as if it had become one with him.

As the Valepeak Buddha Flame dimmed, Ethan Smith's speed of devouring it also accelerated.

It was a lengthy process, and no one could predict how long it would take.

Moreover, in a year's time, a cultivator couldn't really make drastic changes. At this level, even a minor breakthrough might take decades, or even a century!

However, regardless of the circumstances, there are always incredibly gifted individuals who stand out. In just a year's time, the Holy Region had seen the rise of several shining stars.

The Thunder Courtyard seemed to have returned to peace, and everyone returned to their usual routines.

The daily chores of Demon-slaying Peak included accepting tasks and attending lectures once a month. The event with the Tenny family seemed to have passed into history.

And then, one day.

The normally quiet Thunder Courtyard was visited by an uninvited guest.

A burly man, as sturdy as an iron tower, stood at the main gate of the Thunder Courtyard, glancing around.

“Damn, this should be the place,” the burly man murmured.

After triple-checking, he strode into the Thunder Courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he was stopped by two cultivators.

Their faces were cold as frost, and they emanated a chilling aura.

“Who are you to intrude on the Thunder Courtyard without permission?” one of them said coldly.

The burly man glanced at him and said, “There's no sign on your gate that says no entry, right?”

The two men exchanged a glance, then sternly reprimanded, “It's common knowledge that one cannot simply enter the Thunder Courtyard! Are you deliberately pretending to be ignorant?”

“Damn you all, what kind of bullshit knowledge is that? I've never heard of such a thing. Shut up, I'm here to find someone!” the burly man retorted.

Seeing the man's lack of manners, the two men stopped talking and reached out their palms to strike the burly man.

However, the man's body was as hard as Geneiron, and he did not budge a bit from the strike.

This startled the two men who then looked up at the burly man.

The burly man said coldly, “You were the first to attack, so don't blame me for not being polite!”

As he spoke, a red light radiated from his body, and a great battle was about to start!

The burly man was extremely powerful. In no time at all, the two cultivators were sent flying!

“That's all you got? Not impressive at all.” The burly man sneered.

He dusted off his hands and strode deeper into the Thunder Courtyard.

However, this was the Thunder Courtyard, after all, a sacred place for cultivators to learn. Even the Nine Aristocratic Families of the Central Province wouldn't dare to make a scene here, let alone a lone, brutish man!

In the blink of an eye, a large number of cultivators from the Thunder Courtyard had gathered, surrounding the man.

Being a brute, the man didn't waste words, and charged in.

His reckless behavior and terrifying strength shocked the entire Thunder Courtyard and sent wave after wave of cultivators retreating!

Just as things seemed out of control, an aura emerged.

It seemed soft and light, but it was immensely powerful, like a mountain, and instantly fell on the burly man.

Despite his vehement struggle and bulging veins, the burly man could do nothing.

He was forcefully pressed to the ground, unable to move!

An old man descended on a cloud of immortality, his ancient face covered in cold frost.

“Who are you, daring to cause trouble in the Thunder Courtyard!” the old man said coldly.

The burly man on the ground looked up and gritted his teeth, “Damn, it's not fair, ganging up on one person!”

“Mr. Fisher, this man is unreasonably rough. He started fighting as soon as he entered, refusing to reason. He must be severely punished!” someone by the side offered, approaching the old man.

The old man, who was called Mr. Fisher, looked at the burly man with cold eyes and said, “You do have impressive strength and possess a divine body. You could've been a good seedling but why cause trouble in the Thunder Courtyard?”

The burly man on the ground gritted his teeth and said, “You are the ones being unreasonable! There isn't a sign at the gate saying no entry. As soon as I stepped inside, you guys acted aggressively. Who indulges your rotten habits!”

Mr. Fisher's face instantly darkened. He rebuked, “An uncouth villager, illiterate, though you have talent that surpasses the heavens, today you can't escape punishment!”

After that, Mr. Fisher raised his hand, and a terrifying aura ground towards the burly man.

No matter how much the burly man struggled, he was unable to budge. “Ethan Smith, what the hell kind of place did you introduce to me! You've really put me in a bind!” he shouted through gritted teeth.
