Translator: 549690339
A flash of anger crossed Daxon Johnson’s face.
He looked coldly at Ethan Smith and said, “Why? Because I am a three-striped member of the Chuzzle Battle Zone! Because my status is nobler than yours!”
Hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but scoff, “In the eyes of people like you, higher status means nobility, but in my eyes, everyone is the same, no matter their class or status.”
“As for you, I already know from how you speak that you don’t deserve your position, let alone have me greet you,” said Ethan Smith coldly.
Daxon Johnson’s lips twitched slightly, clearly irritated by Ethan Smith’s words.
“Young man, mind your words,” Daxon Johnson raised his hand and pressed it onto Ethan Smith’s shoulder.
Ethan Smith suddenly felt a force pressing down on his shoulder, while a smug smile appeared on Daxon Johnson’s face.
Without saying a word, Ethan Smith shook his arm, and an immense force instantly rebounded back!
Daxon Johnson’s wrist was instantly aching, and he staggered back several steps!
“A martial artist, huh,” Daxon Johnson squinted his eyes slightly.
Sylvia Johnson quickly reminded him, “Cousin, he’s quite skilled, don’t fight with him!”
Daxon Johnson shook his wrist and sneered, “How good can an ordinary person’s skills be? Besides, there are plenty of ways for me to deal with him!” “I won’t stoop down to your level for now since I have a mission, but after I’m done, just wait and see how I deal with you!” Daxon Johnson pointed at Ethan Smith’s nose and said.
Feeling too lazy to bother with him, Ethan Smith stayed here only for the sake of Old Master Johnson.
Afterwards, Daxon Johnson went to sit on the sofa, and the Johnson family members surrounded him with praise.
“Daxon, who exactly is your commander coming to River City for? Give us a hint?” Simon Johnson asked while serving tea and water.
Daxon Johnson said indifferently, “I don’t know, and it’s confidential, not to be disclosed casually.”
“Daxon, what can you not tell your family?” Christian Johnson said from the side.
Hearing this, Daxon Johnson smiled and said, “I suppose there’s no harm in telling you. ”
Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears, looking excited.
Daxon Johnson slowly said, “Our commander said that this person knows Chief Richardson, but there’s a slight misunderstanding between them. Otherwise, the one inviting him would have been Chief Richardson himself.”
The crowd exclaimed, somewhat surprised, “What kind of person would warrant a personal invitation from Chief Richardson?”
Daxon Johnson smiled faintly, “In any case, it’s an outstanding person. I haven’t met him, but if he can have so many important people come to invite him, he must not be ordinary.”
Having said this, Daxon Johnson paused and continued, “Of course, the people brought by our Deputy Chief this time are all elites within the battle zone.”
It was obvious that he was boasting to show his position within the battle zone.
“Of course, I’ve always known Daxon would be successful since he was a child!” Simon Johnson eagerly chimed in.
“Oh, Daxon is finally back, we must celebrate tonight!” Brenda Johnson added with a fawning expression.
The other relatives also echoed, “That’s right, we won’t rest until we’re drunk tonight!”
Just when the atmosphere was lively, Ethan Smith suddenly said coldly, “Old Master Johnson’s body hasn’t even turned cold yet, and he’s still lying on the bed. As his descendants, you don’t show any sorrow; instead, you celebrate, you’re really inhuman.”
Upon hearing Ethan Smith’s words, the living room quickly quieted down, and the atmosphere turned somewhat eerie.
“Tsk tsk, what business is it of yours, an outsider, to act so filial?”
“Exactly, if you were really that filial, why didn’t you come back earlier?” “We were nice enough not to kick you out!”
Daxon Johnson snorted coldly, “A son-in-law who married into the family really thinks highly of himself. Don’t you know what it means to live in the present?”
Ethan Smith glanced at Daxon Johnson and said, “Filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. You don’t even understand that, and you dare to call yourself an elite? I think you’re not far from being dismissed.”
“Heh, sorry, I’m steadily rising in the battle zone, highly praised and appreciated by my superiors, and may be promoted at any time,” Daxon Johnson said with a faint smile.
“On the other hand, you, a pathetic son-in-law, have been kicked out, and I bet you can’t even afford to eat.”
Ethan Smith glanced at him and didn’t say anything more.
Soon, the funeral car arrived at the door.
Ethan Smith personally carried Old Master Johnson’s body onto the car, accompanied everyone to the cremation, and went through the burial. It took all day, and by the time they were finished, it was already getting dark.
“Finally done, let’s go drink!” Simon Johnson said with a grin.
Ethan Smith glanced at them and deeply felt that Old Master Johnson was not justified in his treatment.
“Perhaps Old Master Johnson had already anticipated this scene, and that’s why he told me not to deal with the Johnson family,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
How sad it is for parents the world over.
Then, Ethan Smith drove to the Dragon Rising Community.
At this moment, two people were standing at the entrance of the Longyue Community.
These two men were tall and straight with an impressive demeanor, and between their eyebrows was an air of righteousness.
“Commander Keller, I’ve never heard of this Ethan Smith before, why is Chief Richardson so insistent on bringing him into the battle zone?” One of the younger men asked.
The man called Commander Keller laughed, “Ari, don’t speculate, Chief
Richardson has his plans.”
Ari Steele grumbled, “The Deputy Chief personally came to invite him. I’ve never seen such a big scene before. Anyway, I’m not convinced.”
Commander Keller was silent for a moment, then said, “Recently, Asher Lane of the Lane family just lost to him.”
“He’s just a scion of an aristocratic family. I could do that too,” Ari Steele said unconvinced.
Commander Keller was speechless.
Indeed, Asher Lane’s abilities were good but not worth Chuzzle Battle Zone’s massive effort in inviting.
“Commander Keller, you don’t know much either, do you? I suspect there’s some kind of conspiracy behind this,” Ari Steele muttered.
Hearing this, Commander Keller immediately scolded, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Ari Steele argued, “It’s true! I heard rumors that Ethan Smith treated Chief Richardson’s illness, and there’s a big family behind him! Maybe he’s just a rich kid coming to the battle zone to gain experience..”
