Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 2091

Chapter 2091: Chapter 2091: You're Trash! Chapter 2091: Chapter 2091: You're Trash! Emily Taylor didn't respond, but instead, somewhat slyly, said, “Aren't you scared?”

After thinking for a moment, Ethan Smith said, “I'm a little scared, but I will never agree.”

“You won't agree? But the Taylor family insists on my marrying him,” Emily continued.

Ethan thought for a moment and then said, “Then I will help you escape from the Taylor family! We can roam the world together, on the run!”

“Excellent idea!” Emily's eyes also lit up, she whispered, “Let's settle on that. Before The Day of Heaven's Mandate comes, I'll find a way to escape the Taylor family!”

Ethan was taken aback. He thought he was joking, but it looked like Emily was very serious.

“You… you really want to run away with me?” Ethan asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

“What, you're not willing?” Emily pretended to be unhappy.

Ethan wryly said, “It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it will be hard. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it…”

Emily has been born with a silver spoon in her mouth since she was a child and had never experienced any hardship.

If they truly began a life of fleeing, Ethan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

“I don't think it's difficult. Being with you, I'm sure every day will be happy,” Emily started to daydream.

Seeing her like this, Ethan nodded immediately and said, “Okay, I'll come pick you up when the time comes. If you can't escape, I'll snatch you away.”

“Deal!” Emily nodded vigorously, looking like she'd just tasted the fruits of madness, appearing somewhat excited.

“Miss, we should pay a visit to the Hodge family now,” Liam Garrett's voice echoed in Emily's mind just then.

Emily didn't make a sound; she looked at Ethan and said, “I'll go ahead. See you later, I'll leave as soon as possible.”

“Alright.” Ethan nodded in agreement.

With that, Emily hurriedly left.

Watching Emily's retreating figure, Ethan felt a bit sour.

The feeling was similar to that of a rich young lady who was willingly giving up her comfortable life for a poor boy.

The more this was the case, the more guilt the man would feel.

“Sooner or later, the Taylor family will willingly accept me,” Ethan contemplated.

Just at that moment, in front of the Hodge family's small world, numerous phantom figures appeared, and the scene suddenly became quieter with their arrival.

“The Hodge family is here,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

Looking over, he saw an elderly man with a noble aura, leading the group. This man was none other than the Master of the Hodge family.

The master of the Hodge family was named Kenny Hodge. His eyes were bright and expressive, exuding a charisma that was hard to describe.

His hair was long, dense, and as black as ink, providing a stark contrast with his thick white beard. He was dressed in a large, dark blue robe embroidered with cloud patterns. He carried an aura of mystery each time he moved.

Unlike other great families, like the Wilson family, whose Holy Lord isn't particularly powerful in cultivation but merely holds the power of the family, Daoist Hodge's cultivation level was almost legendary to all, earning him the revered title of “Daoist Hodge”. His cultivation was unfathomable, with no one knowing the exact depth of his power.

Following the appearance of the Hodge Family's Master, each major family came forward with their lavish gifts to offer their congratulations.

Cody Wilson stepped forward first. He slightly bowed and said with a faint smile, “Congratulations to the Hodge family's Saint for entering the True Saint Realm. The Wilson family specially offers a ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb as a sign of our congratulations.”

A cultivator beside Daoist Hodge received the congratulatory gift and carried it to one side. Daoist Hodge thanked him, saying, “Much appreciated, Wilson brother, for coming to congratulate us amid your busy schedule.”

Then Saint Harris also stepped forward.

At this moment, he appeared gentle and graceful, showing no former signs of his sinister demeanor.

He handed his congratulatory gift to Daoist Hodge and said, “Uncle Hodge, my father was unfortunately unavailable and asked me to convey his congratulations.”

Daoist Hodge stroked his beard and laughed, “No need for formalities, also, please give my regards to your father.”

All the major families came forward, presenting the gifts in their hands to Daoist Hodge, one after another.

They were all extremely generous, seeming to hold the Hodge family in high regard.

Just at this moment, Ethan Smith walked forward with his congratulatory gift.

Ethan's appearance immediately attracted many gazes, especially that of Cody Wilson. His face was icy cold, as if he wanted to swallow Ethan whole.

“On behalf of the Thunder Courtyard, I specially offer my congratulations to the Hodge family,” Ethan presented his gift to Daoist Hodge.

After Daoist Hodge received the gift, he laughed and said, “It's been a long time since I've met with Dean Garner. I hope he's been well?”

“Extremely well. He even suppressed a dozen of us single-handedly not long ago,” Cody Wilson scoffed.

However, Daoist Hodge ignored Cody's comment and laughed heartily, saying, “In his prime, Dean Garner was strikingly impressive. It's been so long. I imagine his cultivation has improved even more, hasn't it?”

Ethan shook his head, saying, “In response to your question, Sir, I am not aware of Dean Garner's cultivation level. But I reckon it is significantly stronger compared to a depleted True Saint like Cody Wilson.”

Cody's face darkened, but he couldn't find an apt retort.

After all, what Ethan said was true. That day, Dean Garner single-handedly repelled over a dozen True Saints.

Cody took a deep breath and then sneered, “Ethan Smith, check out the gift in your hand. Is it not the Traceless Immortal Scripture?”

“Traceless Immortal Scripture? The Traceless Immortal Scripture has surfaced?” Daoist Hodge said in surprise.

Seizing the opportunity, Cody quickly added, “It seems that Lord Hodge isn't yet aware. Not long ago, the grave of Clayton Schmidt was unearthed. Several of our major families joined forces to attack the Chaos Grave, but ultimately, this boy took the Traceless Immortal Scripture.”

Ethan's face turned cold. Clearly, Cody was attempting to kill him by proxy.

Daoist Hodge laughed heartily and said, “The Traceless Immortal Scripture is no ordinary item. Even after Clayton Schmidt's death, all Crossing Tribulation Cultivators desired to read it. It's surprising that it ended up in your hands in the end.”

Ethan knew he wouldn't be able to hide it, so he nodded and admitted, “It's just luck.”

“If you knew it was just luck, then you should hand over the Traceless Immortal Scripture. Such Saints' possession is not something you should touch,” Cody said coldly.

Ethan was feeling increasingly annoyed. He gave Cody a glance and blurted out, “Fuck you, you never stop with your nonsense. I can't touch it but you can? You trash.”

The crowd fell silent, utterly stunned.

It seemed like no one expected Ethan to openly proclaim such defiant words before so many influential figures in the Holy Region!

“Ethan Smith, be mindful of your surroundings!” roared Cody in rage.

Ethan, with a stern face, retorted, “I didn't want to bother with you, but you just keep going at it. If I don't curse you out, you won't get it, will you? Let me clarify, I won't give you the Traceless Immortal Scripture. And once I've figured out the scripture, you will be the first one I slaughter!”
