Looking at everyone’s attitude, Asher Lane wasn’t surprised.

He knew that these people would not take this risk for the sake of the Lane Family.

As people left one after another, Asher could not help but snort softly.

The next day, Ethan Smith packed up his things, ready to head to South City.

By this point, Edward Green’s body had basically recovered, although his legs were still a little unnatural, causing him to limp while walking.

“Ah, Mr. Smith, we should buy a car soon.” Edward mumbled on the way to the station.

Ethan thought about it and indeed, it seemed necessary to buy a car.

The frequency of going out was bound to increase in the future, constantly relying on public transportation would be inconvenient.

“We’ll buy one when we come back from this trip.” Ethan said.

The two took the bus heading South City. On the journey, Asher sent Ethan a message stating where the competition would take place.

To Ethan’s surprise, Asher had chosen a scenic spot for the competition instead of a closed indoor location.

“It seems that Asher wants to make a big fuss about it so that the Taylor family doesn’t find out and exploit this.” Edward peered at the mobile phone and mumbled.

Ethan Smith snorted lightly and said, “That’s exactly what I want.”

Edward scratched his head, a bit worried, “Mr. Smith, be careful, Asher Lane is not your average man, his strength..

“Don’t worry.” Ethan cut off Edward’s words.

“I can defeat him with a mere flick of my wrist.” Ethan said calmly.

Seeing this, Edward chose not to say more, but he was still somewhat worried.

After a journey of over five hours, they finally arrived in South City.

Ethan looked at his phone and said, “Let’s take a taxi to the vicinity.”

This can’t help but make Ethan Smith sigh, having a car is indeed more convenient.

Afterward, Ethan and Edward hailed a taxi at the roadside and headed straight for the Water Dragon Cave.

This is a famous attraction in South City, with spring-like weather all year round where countless people come to soak in the hot springs each year.

“Guys, I’d advise you not to go to the Water Dragon Cave today.” The driver said while driving.

Ethan later asked, “Why?”

The driver replied, “The Water Dragon Cave has been taken over by the Lane

Family today. They’re going to have a duel with someone named Ethan Smith. You wouldn’t be able to have fun if you go.”

Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

The Lane Family really seemed to enjoy commandeering public places.

This had happened once before with Lyra Howard, and now, again in this duel. “I didn’t expect that even the taxi driver would know about this.” Ethan muttered.

“This issue has turned the entire city upside down. It’s hard not to know about it.” The driver sighed.

“However, I really can’t understand what Ethan Smith is thinking, daring to challenge Younger Lord of the Lane Family. He must be insane.” The driver continued to mumble.

Ethan laughed, “Since he dares to challenge Asher, he must have some confidence. ”

The driver glanced at Ethan and laughed, “You must be from out of town, right?”

Ethan nodded and said, “How did you know?”

The driver laughed and said, “Because locals wouldn’t say that. Who doesn’t know that Asher is scheming?”

“What do you mean by that?” Ethan asked with some confusion.

The driver explained, “From what I know, over the years, Asher has arranged at least a dozen public duels and won every single time. Do you know why?” “I don’t know.” Ethan shook his head, signaling the driver to continue.

The driver laughed, “Because Asher only ever challenges those weaker than himself. If someone is stronger than him or has a bigger background than the

Lane Family, Asher acts very humbly.”

Ethan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in sudden realization.

“And whoever competes with Asher, who doesn’t end badly? At best in the ICU,

at worst in the crematorium.” The driver mumbled.

“Just wait and see, this Ethan Smith is definitely in for a hard time.” The driver hummed a little tune, as if this was the usual norm.

The car soon arrived at Water Dragon Cave.

The driver didn’t leave immediately but found a parking spot and parked. Edward looked at him and said, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

The driver smiled, “I’m a person who loves to join the fun. Such a big event, I definitely can’t miss it.”

Seeing this, Ethan could not help but shake his head with a smile.

“Let’s go.” Ethan said, shaking his head.

Then, the two of them walked towards the Water Dragon Cave.

The large area covered by the Water Dragon Cave scenic spot was most famous for its natural hot springs.

Up ahead, there was a significant natural hot spring, sending up clouds of steam.

It was said that the scene was the same even in winter; throughout the four seasons, one could hardly feel any chill here.

At this time, the area had been cordoned off with seven to eight people guarding it, preventing anyone from getting close.

Ethan and Edward stood outside the cordon, looking at the Water Dragon Cave from a distance.

“Really strange.” Ethan murmured with a slight frown.

“Mr. Smith, what’s wrong?” Edward asked.

Ethan pointed towards the direction of Water Dragon Cave, “I always feel that something’s off with the water here. The heat that’s wafting about has traces of qi. ”

“Qi?” Edward was taken aback, he clearly had not heard this term before.

Ethan did not elaborate, he stared intently at the Water Dragon Cave, and softly said, “Could there be something hidden under the water?”

“Oh my, Ethan Smith, it’s really you.” Just then, a voice came from behind Ethan.

He looked around only to find a well-dressed girl in her twenties standing behind him.

There were three or four young people of similar age around her.

“Violet Miller?” Upon seeing this girl, Ethan furrowed his eyebrows.

This girl is Sylvia Johnson’s cousin, once Ethan’s sister-in-law, and is currently studying at a university in South City.

Back when Ethan was still with the Johnson family, Violet always looked down on Ethan, lampooning him and even treating him like a servant.

He didn’t expect to run into her here today.

“Violet, the man who’s competing with the younger Lord of Lane Family today is also named Ethan Smith, could it be him?” A girl beside Violet widened her eyes and asked.

Violet sneered, “How is that possible? Ethan Smith is just a spineless man living off of others, he can only do laundry and cook, he can’t do anything else.

How could he be the same person as Ethan Smith?”

Hearing Violet’s words, everyone around started giggling.

“Why are you talking to Mr. Smith like this?” Edward frowned, his tone displeased.

“Forget it.” Ethan waved it off.

As for the people from the Johnson family, Ethan did not want to say one more word.

“Ethan Smith, should not you be at home serving my sister instead of running around here in South City?” Violet arrogantly said.

“I have no relationship with your sister anymore.” Ethan glanced at her and said coldly.
