On the other end, Sylvia Johnson sneered, “He’s dying, whether you want to see him or not is up to you.”
After tossing out this sentence, Sylvia promptly hung up the call.
Ethan Smith’s expression turned somewhat ugly in an instant, and he subconsciously stood up.
“Mr. Smith, what’s wrong?” Edward Green saw this and quickly hurried forth to ask.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath, saying, “Give me the car keys, I need to go out.”
“Where? I’ll come with you.” Edward Green hastily said.
“No need.” Ethan Smith shook his head.
Taking the car keys, Ethan Smith quickly headed towards the Johnson family.
He drove quickly, and in no time, Ethan Smith arrived at the entrance of the Johnson family home.
At this time, there were quite a few cars parked at the entrance, clearly the Johnson family relatives had all arrived.
After casually parking the car, Ethan Smith rushed towards the Johnson home.
The moment he set foot in the Johnson family’s front door, he saw that many relatives of the Johnson family were gathered together, but there was no sign of sorrow on their faces. Instead, everyone was smiling, as if it was a family gathering.
“What are you doing here!” The moment Simon Johnson saw Ethan Smith, he stood up and yelled angrily.
“Get the hell out, you’re not part of our family anymore!”
Ethan Smith paid no heed to him, instead coldly interrogating, “Where’s
Grandpa?”
“What does it concern you? This is a family matter, it has nothing to do with you!” Simon said indifferently.
“Where is Grandpa!” Ethan Smith roared.
This raging roar was filled with Ethan Smith’s spiritual power, which shocked everyone so much their ears were hurting.
Simon was even shivering with fear, for a moment, he didn’t dare to get angry.
“He is… inside the house, why are you yelling.” Simon stammered. Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith hurried towards the room.
In the room, Bill Johnson was lying alone in the bed.
None of the Johnson family members had come to look after him.
Ethan Smith quickly walked over, he crouched in front of Bill Johnson and said with some sadness, “Grandpa, you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Bill Johnson waved his hand.
He shakily said, “Ethan Smith, I…won’t live much longer, I just wanted to see you one last time before I die…”
Ethan Smith turned sorrowful, in the whole Johnson family, only Bill Johnson treated Ethan Smith as a person.
Many years of coexistence, it was impossible to say there were no feelings. Looking over, a wave of death qi was surrounding Bill Johnson.
The rich degree of death qi had exceeded Ethan Smith’s imagination.
This was obviously a sign of death.
Ethan Smith gritted his teeth, raised his hand and placed it in front of Bill Johnson, pouring the qi in his body into Bill Johnson’s body.
But unfortunately, Bill Johnson was already at death’s door, only a breath away from dying, even Ethan Smith could do nothing.
Bill Johnson said with difficulty, “Don’t waste your effort… Ethan Smith, I know the Johnson family has done you wrong, could you spare the Johnson family for my sake…”
Ethan Smith faltered, in fact, he has thought about wiping out the Johnson family.
“You promise me…” Bill Johnson grabbed Ethan Smith’s wrist tightly, his tone pleading.
Ultimately, Ethan Smith couldn’t bear it.
He took a deep breath, nodded and said, “Grandpa, I promise you, as long as the Johnson family doesn’t provoke me, I can spare them.”
Hearing these words, Bill Johnson slowly said, “Then I can rest in peace, rest in peace…”
As he spoke, Bill Johnson’s breath grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.
He laid there on the bed, no longer moving.
Ethan Smith couldn’t help feeling a hint of sorrow.
Among all the members of the Johnson family, it was him, an outsider, who was with the old man at his last moment.
“These people truly are disgusting.” Ethan Smith listened to the noise in the living room with an icy expression.
He turned around and left old man Johnson’s room to the living room.
Upon seeing Ethan Smith, the room suddenly went quiet.
“Finished looking? You can leave now.” Brenda Johnson scoffed.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath, and said: “Old man Johnson is gone, I will leave after his funeral.”
“Damn, finally, he dragged it out for too long.” Christian Johnson, older brother of Simon Johnson, mumbled.
“Ok, ok, we gathered here with difficulty, we have to have a good drink after dad’s funeral!” Simon cheerfully commented.
“Must do it, how long has it been since we brothers see each other! Since I went to Shiglance City, it’s been over ten years, right?”
The family members started chatting casually, with no one caring about old man Johnson’s death.
Ethan Smith sat on the side in silence, his eyes half closed, trying to calm himself down.
Just then, a young man walked through the door.
The young man was about the same age as Ethan Smith, with a confident and spirited look on his face.
“Oh, Daxon, you’ve finally returned!” Upon seeing the figure, everyone in the room quickly stood up to greet him.
The young man named Daxon nodded slightly and said flatly: “Yes, I had duties, so I came back a bit late.”
“No problem, business comes first.” Simon said enthusiastically.
Soon after, Simon cautiously asked: “Daxon, you must have a high position in the battle zone now?”
Daxon glanced at him and said lightly: “Yes, I hold the rank of three bars.” “Three bars!” Upon hearing this, everyone took a sharp breath!
“Oh, Daxon you are really amazing!”
“From now on, we must look up to Daxon!”
Daxon nodded slightly and said: “Yes, the Deputy Chief of the Chuzzle Battle Zone will be in River City in the next few days.”
“Deputy Chief?” On hearing this, everyone was even more astonished!
This was a really influential figure!
“Why would such a big person come to River City?” Simon asked in surprise.
Daxon said: “Heard it’s to invite someone, who is said to be very accomplished in medicine and martial arts, but I don’t know exactly who.”
“Wow, who is that impressive, making the Deputy Chief come to invite him?” The room erupted with chatter.
As the room was buzzing with talk, Daxon suddenly noticed Ethan Smith sitting not too far away.
He frowned and asked casually: “Who’s that?”
Everyone’s gaze immediately turned towards Ethan Smith in the distance.
“Oh, him? He’s your sister’s ex-husband, who married into our Johnson family, but now kicked out, a complete fool, pay him no mind.” Simon sneered.
Daxon’s face suddenly became unhappy, such an arrogant live-in son-in-law, still sitting there even after seeing him?
With this thought, Daxon approached Ethan Smith.
“Don’t you know you should stand up to greet me when you see me coming? Is your ass particularly heavy?” Daxon coldly said.
Hearing this, Ethan Smith slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced at Daxon and frowned, saying: “Greet? What are you that requires me to greet you?”
