Chapter 185 - 185: 185: Need Extra Payment!
Then, with a wave of his hand, he sent the speaker flying!
Grandmaster!
Upon sensing this energy, the crowd’s expressions changed slightly!
They didn’t expect Uncle Shane to be a Grandmaster!
They only knew that Uncle Shane was a business prodigy, but they never imagined that his strength was so formidable!
For a moment, no one dared to say a word!
Uncle Shane coldly surveyed the crowd, not saying anything for a while.
A few minutes later, Uncle Shane stood up.
He walked to the window, his hands behind his back, and slowly said, “The Schroeder Family has been keeping a low profile these past years, causing many people to forget how terrifying our family truly is.” The crowd remained silent, feeling the truth of his words.
“In a few days, the Family Head will come out of seclusion, and he will personally slaughter this Ethan Smith,” continued Uncle Shane.
“We will also take this opportunity to announce the Schroeder Family’s return to power. ”
Upon hearing this, the crowd understood the implications.
The Schroeder Family…wanted to use Ethan Smith to assert their authority!
And through this, remind everyone that the Schroeders were still the top aristocratic family in Chuzzle!
Ethan Smith sat on the bed with the bronze sword and stone sculpture in front of him.
“This stone sculpture is full of dark energy. I wonder what it really is,” Ethan Smith frowned.
He placed his hand on the stone sculpture, feeling an icy chill.
What surprised Ethan Smith the most was that the stone sculpture seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of dark energy.
No matter how long Ethan Smith absorbed it, the internal dark energy did not change at all.
“How strange,” Ethan Smith touched his chin, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The bronze sword and stone sculpture could be described as Yin and Yang.
And when Yin and Yang intersected, they would emit bursts of rumbling noise, obviously repelling each other.
“Fusing Yin and Yang is not an easy task,” Ethan Smith sighed in his heart.
He had tried several times without success in merging them.
Then, Ethan Smith put away these two holy items and slightly closed his eyes, preparing to break through.
This was the first time he had attempted a breakthrough using dark energy.
As a result, Ethan Smith appeared extremely resolute.
But just then, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a strange out-of-town number.
With some doubts, Ethan Smith answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, the caller angrily said, “Dr. Smith, didn’t we agree that you would call me today?”
Ethan Smith was taken aback and finally remembered the masked woman from yesterday.
“Sorry, I forgot,” Ethan Smith apologized.
The woman said, “Do you have time now? I’m at the coffee shop downstairs in your hotel.”
“Alright, I’ll be down right away,” Ethan Smith promised.
After hanging up, Ethan Smith headed to the coffee shop.
The masked woman was sitting in a private room, where Ethan Smith saw a woman with skin as smooth as jade and hands as soft as a new leaf, a truly breathtaking beauty.
However, Ethan Smith’s face didn’t show any surprise, remaining calm.
“Tell me, what kind of illness do you need me to treat?” Ethan Smith got straight to the point.
Instead of answering, the masked woman said angrily, “Don’t you recognize
“Of course, you’re the masked woman from yesterday, right?” Ethan Smith replied truthfully.
The masked woman was so angry that her chest heaved! A masked woman? Was that how he saw her?
“You really don’t recognize me?” The masked woman seemed somewhat incredulous.
Ethan Smith frowned and said, “I get it now. You want me to examine your head, right? No problem, as long as you pay.”
“I…” The masked woman was on the verge of collapse.
“Didn’t you think about why I was wearing a mask yesterday?” The masked
woman insisted.
Ethan Smith frowned and said, “Wasn’t it because you were afraid of the Schroeder Family?”
“…” The masked woman had nothing to say.
She took out her phone and pointed to the screen, saying, “Look, open your eyes and see! This is the cover of a fashion magazine, and this one, this is the cover of a supermodel contest. Both of these people are me, and you don’t recognize me!”
Looking at the phone screen, Ethan Smith suddenly realized, “I got it!”
Only then did the masked woman show a smile. She proudly said, “I knew it, how could anyone not know who I am!”
“You sell clothes, right?” However, Ethan Smith’s next words almost made the masked woman spit blood!
“…Forget it,” The masked woman seemed to give up.
She simply introduced herself.
After the introduction, Ethan Smith found out that the masked woman’s name was Kathleen Hansen. She was not only an international model but also a top influencer and celebrity in the country.
After her introduction, with a touch of pride, Kathleen said, “I’m also a singer, actress, businesswoman, and more. So, what do you think? Impressive, right?” Ethan Smith apologized slightly, “Sorry, I don’t follow celebrities, so I’ve never heard of you.”
Kathleen frowned unhappily, “You’re such an insensitive man.”
“Miss Hansen, what do you want from me, after all?” Ethan Smith started to get impatient.
Seeing the situation, Kathleen lowered her voice and said, “You’re capable of healing people, right? I want you to treat my father.”
“Your father? What’s his condition?” Ethan Smith asked. Kathleen hesitated and said, “Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.”
“Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?” Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow.
“This disease is an international challenge, and no one has ever cured it,” Ethan Smith said solemnly.
Hearing this, Kathleen hurriedly said, ‘Yesterday, you boasted that you could heal any disease as long as we paid! Are you going to go back on your word today?”
Ethan Smith shook his head and smiled, “Miss Hansen, you misunderstand my meaning. ”
“Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is an international challenge. Countless people have been ruined by it, and it’s a challenge for me as well.” “So, the price will have to increase!” Ethan Smith said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Kathleen almost spat blood.
This Ethan Smith couldn’t seem to go two sentences without mentioning money, a real mercenary!
“As long as you can cure it, I’ll pay any amount!” Kathleen declared.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Fine, originally three billion would buy you three treatments, but now it’ll only get you one. Is that acceptable?” Kathleen couldn’t help but wince.
Three billion for a single treatment was truly astronomical.
“Fine, if it’ll work, then it’s worth three billion!” Kathleen gritted her teeth and agreed.
Ethan Smith immediately gave her an account number, saying, “Transfer the money.”
“Let’s wait until after the treatment,” Kathleen rolled her eyes and said. Hearing this, Ethan Smith immediately got up and said, “Farewell!” Leaving these words, Ethan Smith turned and left.
Kathleen panicked and quickly grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm, angrily saying, “What’s wrong with you! Who pays before the treatment?!”
“That’s my rule,” Ethan Smith calmly replied.
Gritting her teeth, Kathleen said, “Fine, I’ll transfer the money, but you have to leave with me right away.”
“Alright,” Ethan Smith nodded.
After quickly transferring the money, Kathleen asked with a headache, “Can we go now?”
“Of course,” Ethan Smith nodded slightly.
“But first, I need to deal with some small fry.” As he spoke, Ethan Smith’s expression suddenly turned ice cold..
