Mrs. and Mr. Smith -
Chapter 1938
Chapter 1938: Chapter 1938: Collision of Different Concepts Chapter 1938: Chapter 1938: Collision of Different Concepts Ethan Smith's strength had impressed everyone.
His performance was on par with Daniel Wilson!
The reason was simple. It was because of the formation Ethan Smith depended on and his specific physique that he was able to demonstrate power far beyond his own capacity.
Subhuti stepped aside, and their leader also approached.
“You are Ethan Smith, aren't you?” He asked looking at Ethan with indifference.
“There's no need to ask when you already know the answer.” Ethan Smith responded with neither humility nor arrogance.
The cultivator did not get angry. He laughed and said: “I know your plan, but let me tell you, it's useless. In the eyes of the Wilson family, you are insignificant.”
Ethan Smith nonchalantly replied, “If I'm so insignificant, why trouble yourself to hunt me down from such a distance?”
“How do you know that we are pursuing you?” He countered.
With a chuckle, Ethan Smith responded, “We all understand, no need to play ignorant.”
“Ha! Taking a desperate gamble, eh? Let me tell you, this action of yours might invite disaster.” The countenance of the cultivator gradually turned frigid.
With a wide grin, Ethan drawled, “I'm just a nameless person. In comparison to me, the face of the Wilson family should be of more importance, right? Or should I say… the legitimacy of the Younger Holy Lord Wilson is more valuable?”
The complexion of the cultivator grew increasingly icy. Without uttering another word, he scoffed coldly and walked away.
After they left, Ethan Smith finally let out a sigh of relief.
Truthfully, he was also worried that the Wilson family would not play into his hand.
Luckily, Ethan gambled right. These Great Families all seemed to be alike, priding themselves on their legitimacy and decency, heinously conscientious about maintaining their reputation.
Ethan Smith wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered under his breath, “That was fucking close. If they had arrived a little later, I might have lost my life on the road.”
With their strength, Ethan Smith stood no chance against them.
If it weren't for the Taylor family's formation here, Ethan would simply not have been able to fight them.
“I remembered who this Ethan Smith is. He seems to be the one who destroyed the Tenny family.”
“Yes, he is the Ethan Smith from Thunder Courtyard, who just recently won over Michael Wilson.”
“It seemed as if Michael Wilson intentionally suppressed his abilities, but even so, he was still formidable.”
Ethan seemed unperturbed, thinking to himself, “It appears I have gained a bit of fame.”
Meanwhile, members of the Taylor family were standing above, looking at Ethan Smith.
Emily Taylor, who lived on Keelbour Mountain, naturally heard Ethan calling her.
She couldn't help but suppress a chuckle from time to time, shaking her head slightly as she alternated between bemusement and factual observation.
Liam Garrett, Emily's personal bodyguard who stood next to her, had the look of acute disapproval on his face. Being an incredibly shrewd man, he immediately figured out Ethan's motive.
“This young man is such a disappointment,” Liam remarked coolly.
Emily looked at him and smiled, “Disappointment? Why so?”
“Such shameless conduct! It's downright despicable!” Liam rebuked.
But Emily just laughed and shook her head. Looking at Liam, she said, “He doesn't have a powerful background like ours, so what better options does he have to survive? Perhaps for him, this is actually the best method. It's still better than begging others for help, right?”
Liam was taken aback and was silent for a moment.
“Ah well, his antics must have alerted the Holy Lord,” he lamented after a while.
Emily just laughed and said, “No bother. There's nothing the Holy Lord can do to me.”
“But isn't this young man afraid that our Taylor family will retaliate against him?” Liam asked with a frown.
“Retaliate? What would be in it for us?” Emily countered.
Liam was taken aback and fell silent.
Emily continued, “All along, Daniel Wilson has been high and mighty, rude not just to me but even the Holy Lord. The arrival of Ethan Smith could very well be a good thing for the Holy Lord, don't you agree?”
“Well, that makes sense.” Liam understood and nodded his head.
Emily was naturally unbothered. But while she remained indifferent, others didn't. There was one person who cared. It was Nathan Taylor, once regarded as the top talent among the young generation of the Taylor family.
At this moment, he was standing above, looking coldly at Ethan Smith, his gaze carrying a hint of icy contempt.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Ethan who felt the situation had been handled adequately planned to leave the place. But as he was about to leave, a figure blocked his path. It was none other than Nathan Taylor.
Nathan Taylor gazed at Ethan Smith coldly, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
Ethan laughed and said, “Nathan Taylor, planning to stand up for Michael Wilson?”
“I never stand up for anyone,” Nathan replied coldly.
Ethan asked puzzlingly, “Then what's your plan? Why are you blocking my way? Do you want to catch up on old times?”
“Catch up on old times? I don't even know you. What old times are you talking about?” Nathan Taylor chuckled coldly.
Ethan let out a laugh and said, “Then move aside and don't delay my business.”
After saying that, Ethan tried to leave, but Nathan Taylor showed no intention of letting him pass, blocking his way once more.
Ethan furrowed his brows, and with a trace of annoyance, asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Nathan squinted his eyes and spoke in a low voice, “You guys, the bastards who came out of god-knows-where, are inherently despicable and shameless. Let me tell you, whether it's you or Emily Taylor, you better not smear the Taylor name!”
Ethan's expression also turned colder.
“Nathan Taylor, don't think too highly of yourself. You are merely standing on the shoulders of giants and no better than us,” Ethan retorted coldly.
Also, your so-called arrogance will slowly ruin you, and even ruin your dao technique.”
“I don't need you to remind me,” Nathan responded coldly.
Ethan knew that he couldn't get through to Nathan Taylor, so he stopped talking. Various backgrounds and environments bred different perspectives. Even though they were in the Holy Region, they were like people from two separate worlds.
Ethan turned and left. This time, Nathan did not stop him, just silently watching Ethan's retreating figure, until Ethan had completely disappeared from sight.
The surrounding people intending to climb the stone stairway all gasped in surprise.
“What the hell is going on today! First, someone provoked the Wilson family, and now even the former Saint from the Taylor family has shown up!”
“We are fortunate to glimpse such characters. This trip is worth it.”
“One must admit, the young man named Ethan Smith does make a lot of sense.”
“Well, don't worry about it, better start climbing. Although the Taylor family is tough, at least they have given us a glimmer of hope.”
“This Ethan Smith will probably become popular; he might face a lot of trouble in the future, I guess he'll have to find a place to hide.”
However, things did not go as anticipated. Not only did Ethan Smith not hide away, but he also appeared openly in the busiest city of the Holy Region: Sky City.
Sky City was a unique place, said to have been a real Imperial Palace, where the Supreme Leader of the Holy Region once resided.
