Chapter 137 - 137: The Taylor Family of the Capital City_l
A faint glow enveloped Ethan Smith, while the light around Aidan Ortega began to fade, and his muscles gradually returned to normal.
Ethan slowly walked up to Aidan, looking at him with cold eyes and said, “You practice Inner Strength through dual cultivation, but what I cultivate is different from yours. I cultivate spiritual power.”
“Spiritual power?” Aidan seemed to hear this term for the first time. Ethan slowly said, “Don’t ask any more questions. You need to rest.”
After saying that, Ethan lightly patted Aidan on his body.
His massive figure boomed suddenly!
“Get the fuck up!” Blaze Lane, who was not far away, roared in desperation.
“You must be faking it, you must be!” Blaze gritted his teeth, obviously agitated.
Asher Lane next to him, however, looked extremely upset and was on the verge
of collapse.
He had always considered himself a genius, but in just a few days, he found Ethan Smith’s strength far beyond his imagination!
“Even Aidan was defeated, how is that possible!” Asher’s face looked extremely ugly.
He couldn’t figure out how Ethan’s strength had suddenly improved so much in just a few days.
Ethan did not kill Aidan, as he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Soon after, Ethan slowly walked up to Blaze Lane.
“Kneel down and apologize.” Ethan’s tone was unquestionable.
Blaze clenched his teeth and glared at Ethan, yelling, “Ethan Smith, so what if you beat Aidan! Now it’s a society ruled by law, do you dare to kill me! If you kill me, you will die too! Hahaha!”
As Blaze said, no one could defy the authorities in this era.
But Ethan remained unmoved, and sneered, “Do you think there is only one way to kill someone?
After saying that, Ethan flicked his finger, and a wisp of spiritual fire instantly fell on Ellis Mitchell’s corpse outside the door!
“Whoosh!”
The moment the spiritual fire touched it, Ellis Mitchell’s corpse instantly turned into ashes! Not even a trace was left!
“If I killed you, who could find out?” Ethan said with narrowed eyes.
At once, Blaze’s face turned ashen, and he became extremely frightened!
He couldn’t understand how an Ethan Smith from River City could force the entire Lane Family to bow down to him.
Ethan’s finger once again flicked out a wisp of spiritual fire.
He sat on the sofa and said indifferently, “I will only count to three. If you haven’t knelt down and apologized by then, I will show no mercy.”
After saying that, Ethan closed his eyes slightly and began to count.
Blaze, who was not far away, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Watching the flames leaping on Ethan’s finger, a growing fear filled his heart.
“2…”
At this moment, Ethan had already counted to the last number.
Just as he was about to shout “3”, Blaze suddenly “plop” fell to his knees!
He gritted his teeth and said painfully, “Ethan Smith, I was wrong… I shouldn’t have provoked you. I hope you spare my life…”
“Dad!” Asher clenched his fists tightly, his face full of unwillingness.
Just a few days ago, Ethan Smith was a minor figure, but now, in just a few short days, Ethan had gained enough power to confront the entire Lane Family!
At this moment, Blaze also began to understand why so many great families, spending huge sums of money to invite top experts to sit in their domain!
“What about you?” Ethan glanced at Asher.
Asher gritted his teeth and said, “Ethan Smith, don’t even think about it!”
“Oh?” Ethan raised his eyebrows, he stared coldly at Blaze, and suddenly shouted, “Kneel down!”
The two words were as if they had the force of a thousand pounds!
Asher immediately felt his knees go weak, and he fell to the ground with a “plop”.
He wanted to struggle but found he couldn’t break free at all!”How is that possible…” Asher Lane’s self-esteem was completely shattered!
Just two words were enough to suppress him, indicating that Ethan Smith’s strength had far exceeded his imagination!
Ethan Smith let out a cold snort, slowly got up and looked at Blaze Lane with cold eyes, saying, “This is the last time. If you provoke me again, I promise to make the entire Lane Familv disaooear.”
Blaze Lane hung his head, not uttering a word.
Asher Lane was even more like a lost dog.
“E-Ethan Smith.” At this moment, Caspian Miller, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly spoke up.
He said with an embarrassed smile, “Ethan Smith, I’m sorry for my previous offense. Please don’t lower yourself to my level…”
Caspian Miller had long been scared out of his wits. He was just an ordinary person, and had never seen such a scene before! What was happening before his eyes simply overthrew his worldview!
More importantly, in his heart, the Lane Family had always been an unattainable existence. But now they surrendered in front of Ethan Smith and confessed their mistake!
Ethan Smith glanced at him and sneered, “Do you think I would lower myself to the level of a character like you?”
Caspian Miller was taken aback, and without considering anything else, he quickly nodded and said, ‘Yes, you’re right, just treat me as a fart and let me
Ethan Smith didn’t respond, but couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
This Caspian Miller and his sister Brenda Johnson were indeed cut from the same cloth.
Ethan Smith didn’t linger and quickly left the Lane Family.
The next day, Ethan Smith and Edward Green prepared to return to River City.
The two of them packed their belongings and were ready to leave.
At this moment, Caesar Nolan’s car suddenly drove in.
He said with a bit of surprise, “Mr. Smith, I never expected the Lane Family would actually back down!”
Having said that, Caesar Nolan gave Ethan Smith a thumbs-up.
Ethan Smith frowned slightly and asked with some surprise, “How did you know?”
Caesar Nolan smiled awkvvardly and said, “Since the Lane Family is our opponent, I naturally have to pay attention to their every move. Knowing ourselves and our enemy ensures victory in every battle!”
Ethan Smith nodded but said no more.
“With the Lane Family gone, I’m afraid no one in South City can stop you. Just a little promotion, and the whole city will know! By then, you’ll be able to dominate one side!” Caesar Nolan said excitedly.
Ethan Smith glanced at him and shook his head, “No need.”
Caesar Nolan was startled and said with some confusion, “Mr. Smith, this is a
great opportunity to establish prestige!”
Ethan Smith shook his head and said slowly, “My ambition lies elsewhere.” “Ambition elsewhere?” Caesar Nolan looked even more puzzled.
Ethan Smith gazed towards the north and said slowly, “My goal is in the Capital City.”
For Ethan Smith, everything he did was for the day when he could step into the Capital City and marry Emily Taylor from the Taylor Family.
Caesar Nolan was speechless and didn’t know what to say.
Capital City, a huge garden.
This place occupied two thousand square meters, with the manor alone spanning more than one thousand square meters.
In the land-scarce Capital City, such a large area was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary status of its owner.
And here was the Taylor Family of the Capital City.
At this time, in the huge villa, a girl was holding a pen and doodling.
Suddenly, the door was opened, and the girl quickly closed her notebook upon hearing the sound.
“Emily, what are you hiding?” The speaker was a kind-looking old man.
The old man’s face was covered with wrinkles, and the look in his eyes toward Emily Taylor was full of love and indulgence.
“Grandfather, why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Emily Taylor pursed her lips and said unhappily.
The old man looked at Emily Taylor’s notebook and laughed heartily, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be writing his name, right?”
