Chapter 1962: Chapter 1962: Cunning and Despicable Person_1 Chapter 1962: Chapter 1962: Cunning and Despicable Person_1 “Please wait a moment.” The two of them didn't hesitate and immediately sent someone to report.

In no time, the guard returned and respectfully invited Ethan Smith into the city.

Upon arriving at the palace in the city, the City Lord arranged for Ethan Smith to stay in a resting room. A few minutes later, the City Lord appeared before him.

The City Lord's strength wasn't too great, only at the Returning Void Early Stage, but he appeared quite extraordinary.

“Are you Ethan Smith?” The City Lord was extremely enthusiastic when he saw him.

Ethan Smith bowed and said: “It is I, nice to meet you, City Lord.”

The City Lord hurriedly acted with a terrified expression and shook his head repeatedly, “Mr. Smith, you're too polite. It's my great fortune to meet you. May I ask why you're here in our city?”

Ethan Smith didn't hide his intentions and informed the City Lord of his purpose.

After listening, the City Lord pondered and said, “So, you want us to send you to the Green family?”

“Yes, or just inform them.” Ethan Smith replied.

“That's not a problem. This place is not far from the Green family, at most a day's journey.” The City Lord said.

After some thought, he said, “However, I can't make such a big decision. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while, Mr. Smith. I need to report this.”

“Alright, no problem.” Ethan Smith simply agreed.

“Alright, I'll send someone to inform the Green family about this!” The City Lord said.

Ethan Smith agreed, but deep down, he was not entirely at ease.

After all, no one knew what the Green family's attitude would be.

Furthermore, if the City Lord leaked this matter, it was likely that the Wilson family would arrive even sooner.

So, as soon as the City Lord left, Ethan Smith began to use his secret technique to create a clone for any unexpected events.

After doing this, Ethan Smith took out some herbs from the Spatial Magic Artifact, preparing to refine a few medicines.

As night fell and the darkness deepened, Ethan Smith still sat cross-legged.

Due to his injuries, his breath was extremely unstable, and his control over the spiritual fire was extremely poor, causing several failed attempts at refining the medicine.

“This can't go on.” Ethan Smith frowned slightly.

He didn't have many herbs in his possession and couldn't afford any more failures.

Just as Ethan Smith took out more herbs to continue refining, a faint sound came from outside.

Ethan Smith frowned and looked cautiously towards the window.

“Who's there?” Ethan Smith said as he mobilized his breath, preparing to flee.

At this moment, a young man sneaked open the door.

He glanced around, making sure no one was around, then walked over to Ethan Smith.

Seeing this young man, Ethan Smith frowned slightly and said, “You are… the guard from earlier today?”

“Yes, Mr. Smith, you need to leave now!” The guard said nervously.

“Why?” Ethan Smith asked, confused.

The guard whispered, “Today, at the city gate, I accidentally overheard the City Lord's conversation. He's sending someone to the Wilson family to reveal this matter. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!”

Hearing this, Ethan Smith's face changed drastically!

As expected, the City Lord was actually going to please the Wilson family!

“Why are you telling me this?” Ethan Smith looked at the guard and said coldly.

“I don't have time to explain right now. If you don't leave immediately, you really won't be able to later!” The guard said with a worried expression.

Finding no time to continue asking questions, Ethan Smith hurriedly followed the guard out of the resting room.

The two of them proceeded smoothly along the way.

As they reached the city gate, the guard's identity allowed them to easily exit.

“Mr. Smith, please follow me. I know of a relay station not far from here,” said the guard.

“Alright,” Ethan Smith agreed, and followed the guard quickly.

Along the way, the two of them sped along as if they were true fugitives.

But after walking for dozens of star-miles, the guard suddenly stopped.

“Why have you stopped?” Ethan Smith frowned.

The guard let out a sigh, then turned to face him and said leisurely, “Mr. Smith, do you know how foolish our City Lord is?”

“Huh?” Ethan Smith was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

“Sigh, I suggested today that we capture you and hand you over to the Wilson family, earning their appreciation. But our City Lord not only disagreed, but also scolded me.” The guard kept shaking his head and sighing.

Ethan Smith's face turned unpleasant.

“I had no choice but to come up with a plan to trick you out of the city.” The guard's voice turned cold, followed by a sneer.

Before his words had faded, several people emerged from the shadows. Each one had a menacing look and an imposing aura.

“Mr. Smith, people die for money and birds die for food. I apologize.” The guard said indifferently.

Ethan Smith's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, “Even if you wanted to inform the Wilson family, it wouldn't be enough in just one day, would it?”

“Yes.” The guard didn't refute. He smiled faintly and said, “So, I can only temporarily contact some experts for now and capture you first.”

Ethan Smith sneered and said, “As long as you're not a Semi-Saint, do you think a few of you can stop me?”

“True, if you were at your peak, we wouldn't stand a chance. But now you're severely injured and unable to exert even 10% of your strength, right?” The guard laughed loudly.

Ethan Smith clenched his teeth, knowing he was in trouble.

Just as the guard said, Ethan Smith couldn't control his spiritual fire now and had an extremely weak aura. He wasn't able to fight at all.

“Mr. Smith, my apologies!” The guard snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the few people rushed towards Ethan Smith!

Ethan Smith endured the pain in his body, forcibly mobilized the energy inside him, and fought back with clenched fists. For a moment, the golden radiance illuminated the night, and his violent aura continuously scattered.

Unfortunately, Ethan Smith was too seriously injured. Although he managed to repel the opponents with difficulty, he soon became exhausted.

“It is no wonder you're Mr. Smith. Even with such severe injuries, you still have such terrifying strength,” the guard exclaimed.

“But it's a pity that you won't last long. Without us doing anything, you'll eventually fall.”

Ethan Smith clenched his teeth and said, “Since you're after money, why not let me go? Whatever the Wilson family can give you, I can give as well!”

“Hahaha, I think it's better not to. If you really had the ability, how could you have been reduced to this state by the Wilson family?” The guard laughed coldly.

“Moreover, the Wilson family is one of the Nine Great Families! You, Ethan Smith, a mere rogue cultivator, how can you compare with them?”

Ethan Smith opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his vision started to blur.
