Chapter 1972: Chapter 1972: Don't Even Think About Getting One!_1 Chapter 1972: Chapter 1972: Don't Even Think About Getting One!_1 Ethan Smith's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he sneered, “You came quite quickly.”
“Mr. Smith, please come with me,” the follower said.
Ethan Smith nodded, following the man to the Great Hall.
Upon arriving at the Great Hall, tables had been set up on one side, and two Semi-Saints of the Wilson family were seated there.
The two, young and old, were both very powerful.
Seeing Ethan Smith approach, the two men stood up at once.
“Please, don't be hasty,” the Prince said hastily.
The men snorted coldly and sat back down.
Ethan Smith sat directly opposite them and asked with a faint smile, “What brings you two to me?”
“Don't pretend to be confused; do you think hiding here will save you?” one of the Semi-Saints coldly replied.
Ethan Smith laughed, “I haven't pretended to be confused for a long time, but I really don't understand what you're alluding to.”
“Kid, Michael is still in bed, unable to move. You think this affair is just going to pass?” another Semi-Saint said with a chilling tone.
“Hahahaha!” Hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“So, you came to seek revenge for Michael Wilson? Can he not accept defeat, or is it your Wilson family?” Ethan Smith asked mockingly.
The Semi-Saint immediately realized his slip-up and quickly changed his tune, “Nonsense, we came to you because you stole our Wilson family's ore!”
“Oh, so it's about the ore.” Ethan Smith sneered, his eyes filled with mocking.
At this point, the Prince interjected, “Ethan Smith said he's willing to return half the ore to the Wilson family.”
“Half?” Ethan Smith was momentarily taken aback as he looked at the Prince.
The Prince just smiled and showed no signs of abnormality.
“He took our Wilson family's property, and now he only wants to return half? He must be dreaming!” the Semi-Saint criticized.
The Prince sighed and said, “Gentlemen, I sent someone to investigate this matter in Serene South City. Strictly speaking, the ore doesn't belong to the Wilson family. Since Ethan Smith wants to return Half, let's just settle this matter here.”
Hearing the Prince's words, the faces of two Semi-Saints turned cold.
“Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to take Ethan Smith's side?” one of the Semi-Saints asked coldly.
The Prince laughed, “Of course not. I just want to mediate and find a satisfactory solution to this matter.”
“It seems better for Your Highness to expel Ethan Smith.” The Semi-Saint sneered.
Ethan Smith knew the Wilson family wouldn't easily let this matter rest, so he stood up and said, “Fine, I'll return all the ore I took, and we'll call it even. How about that?”
“What, you think returning what you stole from us is enough? You're quite the optimist,” the Semi-Saint sneered.
Seeing this, Ethan Smith couldn't help but laugh coldly himself.
Meanwhile, the Prince tried to mediate, “Ethan Smith has shown sincerity; let's just leave it at that.”
Hearing the Prince's words, one of the Semi-Saints was about to speak, but was stopped by the old man next to him.
“If Your Highness has spoken, let us discuss it. Is that okay?” the old Semi-Saint said.
The young Semi-Saint opened his mouth to speak but was stopped again.
The Prince nodded slightly and said, “Of course.”
The two Semi-Saints then left without further comment.
After a while, the two men returned.
“Your Highness, since you have spoken, we reluctantly agree to settle the matter,” the young Semi-Saint said, his attitude greatly improved and quite polite.
The old Semi-Saint also smiled and said, “We certainly need to give face to Your Highness.”
Seeing this, the Prince was quite relieved. He stood up and said, “In that case, let's agree to this. We…”
“Wait.” At this moment, Ethan Smith suddenly stood up.
He looked at the two Semi-Saints in front of him with a mocking smile and said, “Sorry, I've changed my mind.”
The Prince was taken aback, looking at Ethan Smith in confusion and whispering, “Mr. Smith, you…?”
Ignoring the Prince, Ethan Smith just stared coldly at the two Semi-Saints.
“Ethan Smith, what is the meaning of this?” one of the Semi-Saints asked coldly.
Ethan Smith sneered, “Exactly what it sounds like. I've changed my mind. Now you can't have a single ore, not a single one!”
“Kid, you must have gone mad!” the young Semi-Saint shouted.
The elderly Semi-Saint's eyes narrowed, his hands behind his back as he said, “Your Highness, you see, we've been very accommodating, but it's a shame this kid doesn't know when to stop.”
The Prince hurried forward to mediate, “Mr. Smith, this is your last chance. You…”
“Your Highness, you're overthinking it. Even if I handed over the ore to them, they still wouldn't let me go,” Ethan Smith said coldly.
“If I'm not mistaken, they will find an excuse later, claiming that the number of ores I returned doesn't suffice, right?”
The faces of the two Semi-Saints changed slightly, as Ethan Smith had clearly hit the nail on the head.
“It's a crime to have something they desire; how could they possibly let this matter be?” Ethan Smith sneered.
“In that case, not a single piece of ore will be given to you, and I'll sell them all tomorrow.”
After dropping that statement, Ethan Smith turned to leave, only for the two Semi-Saints to instantly block his path.
Ethan Smith did not panic, laughing coldly, “Are you going to make a move right here in the Great Hall of Sky City, the Prince of Holmes?”
“I…” The Semi-Saint hesitated, clearly lacking courage.
“Ethan Smith, we may not dare to make a move, but that doesn't mean the others from the Wilson family won't dare to,” the elderly Semi-Saint said indifferently.
Ethan Smith raised his eyebrows, “Oh? Is that so? Then, please have your family head come over. I'll be waiting right here.”
After dropping that remark, Ethan Smith turned to leave, but the two Semi-Saints were still blocking his path.
“A good dog doesn't block the way; don't you two pieces of trash know that?” At this moment, Salena Carpenter arrived just in time.
The two men glanced at Salena and sneered, “Who are you to interfere in our business?”
“I'm your daddy!” Salena shot back, not holding back at all.
Just as the two Semi-Saints were about to react, Ethan Smith laughed coldly, “She's Salena Carpenter, once the head of the three lunatics in the Southern Province. An unruly person like her has never cared for rules, and nobody can stop her once she goes mad. You're more than welcome to try your luck.”
“After all, Salena Carpenter is all by herself, while your Wilson family stands behind you. I'd like to see how your family would explain this to the world!”
Hearing Ethan Smith's words, Salena Carpenter also prepared to make her move.
