“Good, good!” Asher Lane nodded frantically.
“Tomorrow at 8 a.m., I’ll be waiting for you at my home. If you don’t come, you are a coward!” Asher Lane sneered. Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Alright, see you tomorrow.”
Having said that, he turned and left.
This time, all the spotlight was gathered on Ethan Smith himself, not on Emily Taylor.
Taking a few steps forward, Ethan Smith suddenly stopped and looked in Ashton Nicholson’s direction.
Ashton Nicholson’s face changed suddenly, and his heart thumped!
But Ethan Smith didn’t say anything and left with Edward Green, Violet Miller, and others.
Ashton Nicholson stared at Ethan Smith’s retreating figure and muttered under his breath, “Did I…actually get scared just now…?”
As they walked out of the Water Dragon Cave, everyone parted a path for Ethan Smith.
This day was destined to be extraordinary for Ethan Smith.
“Mr. Smith, you can’t go tomorrow. You’ve made the Lane family lose face, and they will not let you off easily!” Edward Green said anxiously.
Ethan Smith sneered, “Do you think I would be afraid of them?”
Edward Green trembled and said, “Mr. Smith, I know that your strength has exceeded my imagination, but the Lane family is not that simple. They…” “Guess how much strength I used just now?” Ethan Smith interrupted Edward Green.
Edward Green was startled and quickly asked, “Mr. Smith, you didn’t use your full strength just now?”
Ethan Smith snorted, “I only used 30% of my strength.”
This time, Edward Green was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.
He couldn’t figure out how a Ninth-rank Inner Strength practitioner could thrash an Inner Strength Master by merely using 30% of his power.
“Brother-in-law, you’re too awesome! You’re like my idol!” Violet Miller chattered non-stop along the way.
Ethan Smith was silent and didn’t want to pay attention to Violet Miller.
“Brother-in-law, why don’t we go eat?” Violet Miller said with a smile.
Ethan Smith rubbed his stomach. It’s true, after being active for half a day, he was feeling quite hungry.
“Okay.” So, Ethan Smith agreed to eat.
“How about we go for hot pot? I’ll treat!” Violet Miller confidently suggested.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Whatever works.”
Soon, they arrived at a hot pot restaurant.
Violet Miller had been living in South City for a while, and her family was quite wealthy, so she had plenty of pocket money.
As soon as she entered, she shouted, “Whatever you want to eat today, I’m treating! ”
Ethan Smith didn’t hold back; his appetite had been surprisingly big recently, so he ordered a table full of meat.
“Speaking of which, brother-in-law, my sister must be really happy with how outstanding you are now, right?” Violet Miller said with a chuckle. Ethan Smith glanced at her and said, ‘Your sister and I are already divorced.”
“Divorced?” Violet Miller was taken aback and slammed her hand on the table.
“What happened? Why did you get divorced?” Violet Miller looked quite concerned.
She didn’t want to lose such an outstanding brother-in-law.
Ethan Smith didn’t explain and simply said, “You should ask your sister.”
Violet Miller said nothing, but Selina Burton, who was beside her, seemed a little excited.
Young girls always liked heroic men, and Selina Burton was no exception.
Ever since she had seen Ethan Smith’s performance, she couldn’t help but be intrigued.
After dinner, Violet Miller suggested going out to play, but Ethan Smith declined.
He and Edward Green found a hotel to stay in temporarily.
“Mr. Smith, you still need to be careful tomorrow.” Lying next to Ethan Smith, Edward Green reminded him once again.
“Enough, just go to sleep, I know what I’m doing.” Ethan Smith yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Edward Green sighed quietly and said no more.
Ethan Smith slept soundly, but the Lane family was in chaos at this time.
Blaze Lane, Asher Lane’s father, had an iron-blue face and was filled with anger.
“You useless thing, you’ve brought shame to our family!” Blaze Lane said angrily.
Asher Lane was silent and didn’t dare to say more.
This time, the Lane family had indeed lost face.
“Master, we should think about what to do next.” A secretary whispered.
Blaze Lane said coldly, “Of course. If he can just walk out of South City like this, there’s no need for the Lane family to stay here any longer!”
“Besides… The followers we support in the Lane family aren’t just eating free meals!” Blaze Lane said with a dark expression.
The Lane family supported many followers, including some experts.
They spent a lot of money on these people with the aim of getting their help during crucial moments.
“Bring Aidan Ortega to me,” Blaze Lane ordered coldly.
The secretary nodded quickly and said, “Yes.”
After the secretary left, Asher Lane couldn’t help but remind his father, “Dad, that Ethan Smith has an unusual relationship with the Taylor family. If something happens to him in the Lane family, the Taylor family won’t let us off…”
Blaze Lane’s face changed again, and he scolded, “Why the hell didn’t you say that earlier?”
Asher Lane’s mouth opened, but he didn’t dare say more.
“The Taylor family, the Taylor family…” Blaze Lane’s face looked uneasy, and he didn’t know what to do.
After a moment of thought, Blaze Lane sighed, “We’ll act according to the situation tomorrow.”
Besides the Lane family, many forces and clans in South City were watching everything in secret.
The ability Ethan Smith had shown made them want to win him over, but no one made a rushed move.
They were waiting to see if Ethan Smith could safely walk out of the Lane family’s territory.
If he died in the Lane family, there would be no need to win him over.
The next day.
Ethan Smith slept until morning.
He had to admit that he slept extremely well.
“Damn, that was so comfortable.” Ethan Smith stretched lazily before looking at the sleeping Edward Green.
After some thought, Ethan Smith ultimately decided not to disturb Edward Green’s sleep.
He tidied up quickly and headed towards the Lane family residence.
At this time, the Lane family’s large villa was filled with people.
These people were all followers of the Lane family.
Blaze Lane brewed a cup of tea and patiently waited for Ethan Smith’s arrival.
“Dad, Aidan Ortega is here,” Asher Lane whispered as he approached.
At a glance, they saw a man who was about 6 feet tall and looked like a small mountain come in.
The moment Aidan Ortega entered, everyone felt a little suffocated.
“Mr. Lane.” Aidan Ortega nodded to Blaze Lane.
Blaze Lane waved his hand and said, “Aidan, just follow my lead later.” “Alright, Mr. Lane.” Aidan Ortega nodded and stepped aside.
“Maybe Ethan Smith won’t even dare to come,” someone nearby laughed.
Blaze Lane couldn’t help secretly hoping so.
That would be for the best.
If Ethan Smith didn’t show up, the Lane family could save some face and avoid taking risks with the Taylor family.
However, just at that moment, Ethan Smith confidently entered the scene. His expression calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of tension or unease..
