Chapter 204 - 204: 204: I Refuse!_l
Many people unconsciously retreated two steps, fearing getting involved in the crossfire.
“Such a small matter doesn’t need to go this far,” said a young man with a smile.
Ethan Smith glanced at him and didn’t say anything. Instead, he waved his hand, sending a gust of Inner Strength!
Under this force, the young man was instantly hit hard, and with a “bang,” he knelt on the ground!
“When Edward Green was bullied just now, you didn’t say anything. Now you come out pretending to be a good person? Kneel together! ” Ethan Smith said coldly.
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected that this young man who had just been locked up would be so strong!
Even the Grandmasters were flustered, each one of them a commanding presence in the outside world and sought after by all parties.
But now they had their legs broken by Ethan Smith and couldn’t get up from their knees!
At this moment, they were somewhat afraid!
“Sir, we… we know we were wrong. Please have mercy…” someone whispered.
Ethan Smith glanced at him and sneered, “Kneel down! Within an hour, you’re not allowed to stand up.”
After saying this, Ethan Smith pulled Edward Green aside.
“Mr. Smith, your strength… has reached such a level!” Edward Green’s eyes sparkled, and he excitedly said.
Ethan Smith didn’t pay attention to his words, but frowned and asked, “How
did you end up here?”
Talking about this topic, Edward Green couldn’t help but sigh.
Then, Edward Green explained what had happened.
Through the conversation, it was revealed that Edward Green had a younger sister who was studying in Shiglance City.
When he was with the Hill family, he arranged for his sister to stay in Shiglance City.
Now that he was with Ethan Smith, he wanted to bring his sister to River City so she would also be cared for.
“But I never expected that I would offend someone in Shiglance City, who was a relative of a Martial Arts Association member.” Edward Green said with a bitter smile.
“I argued with him for a while, and then I was locked in here for three years.” Upon hearing this, Ethan’s face instantly became even colder.
This once again made Ethan’s impression of the Martial Arts Association even worse.
“This Martial Arts Association is really an unreasonable place,” Ethan Smith said coldly.
Edward Green sighed, “What can we do about it?”
Ethan Smith couldn’t understand how such an unfair organization kept existing and how it was qualified to manage the martial artists in the world.
Most importantly, none of the martial artists had ever thought about resisting them, but they were treated as authorities.
It was ridiculously laughable.
“Mr. Smith, how did you end up here?” Edward Green asked in confusion.
Talking about this topic, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but fall silent. This time, it was still unknown whether he would have a chance to leave or even die here.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
“Mr. Smith, what’s wrong?” Edward Green asked.
Ethan Smith shook his head and laughed, “Nothing.”
“Oh right, didn’t I promise to teach you breathing exercises?” Ethan Smith suddenly remembered something.
Edward Green nodded, “Yeah, I thought you had forgotten.”
“Oh, I’ve been so busy; I really did forget.” Ethan Smith smiled bitterly.
“While there’s still time, I’ll pass on this method of breathing to you,” Ethan Smith said solemnly.
Edward Green had been with Ethan Smith for a long time, always helping without any complaints.
And Ethan Smith didn’t have much else to give him, so this set of breathing exercises might be the best gift.
Edward Green hurriedly nodded, “Okay!”
So the two of them went to one side, and Ethan Smith began to teach the method.
Edward Green’s talent was not bad; he just didn’t have the resources of a big family.
Under Ethan Smith’s instruction, Edward Green spent only an hour learning the basics of the breathing exercises.
“Mr. Smith, this feels different from the Inner Strength I’m practicing.” Edward Green said with some surprise.
Ethan Smith laughed, “This is much stronger than Inner Strength. Remember this method, practice it slowly, and one day your strength will surpass your imagination.”
Edward Green kept nodding, not daring to say much.
“Ethan Smith!”
Just then, a shout came from outside.
Turning around, Gage Mcbride was standing at the entrance.
Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately walked towards the cell door.
“What’s up, do you have something?” Ethan Smith asked coldly.
Gage Mcbride eyed Ethan Smith, then said indifferently, “You’d better put away your unruly look; I dont like it.”
“What you don’t like is none of my business,” Ethan Smith sneered.
Gage Mcbride was not angry either. He snorted, “I’ve seen many young people like you who are arrogant and unrestrained, but unfortunately, in the end, they all lose their edges and become ordinary legislators.”
“Ethan Smith, do you think you’ll end up like them?” Gage Mcbride raised an eyebrow.
Ethan Smith impatiently said, “If you’ve got something to say, say it. I don’t want to listen to you nagging.”
Upon hearing this, Gage Mcbride’s face finally showed a touch of anger.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said coldly, “I came to find you to give you a chance.”
“Oh?” Ethan Smith’s eyebrows raised, and he couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.
A chance? Would the Schroeder Family really give a chance?
Gage Mcbride continued, “I heard that you’re an alchemist, and our Martial
Arts Association values talents, so we decided to give you a chance.” Ethan Smith remained silent, gesturing for Gage Mcbride to continue.
“As long as you can cure Tristin Schroeder, we can let you go and let you leave here. What do you think?” Gage Mcbride laughed.
Ethan Smith’s face showed a trace of surprise, and he exclaimed, “Are you serious?
“Of course.” Gage Mcbride said with a smile.
“Ethan Smith, this is a good opportunity for you; don’t miss it.” Gage Mcbride persuaded gently.
Ethan Smith didn’t say anything, touching his chin as if thinking.
“Think carefully; opportunities aren’t plentiful. After all, there are many alchemists in the world.” Seeing that Ethan Smith seemed to be moved, a hint of joy flashed on Gage Mcbride’s face.
“Don’t think about it anymore; come with me,” Gage Mcbride urged.
However, at this moment, Ethan Smith shook his head and sneered, “I’m sorry, I refuse.”
Hearing those words, Gage Mcbride’s face suddenly changed.
“You refuse?” Gage Mcbride’s face darkened.
“Ethan Smith, you’d better think it over. This is the only chance you have to survive!”
“There are countless alchemists in the world who can heal Tristin Schroeder!” “If I didn’t value talent, you wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity!”
Ethan Smith stared at Gage Mcbride and sneered, “Mr. Mcbride, I’ve been a fool for the first thirty years of my life, so I don’t like being deceived by others.”
“If alchemists are that easy to find, why would the Schroeder Family come looking for me?”
“Moreover… even if I really healed Tristin Schroeder, with the Schroeder
Family’s character, they wouldn’t let me go, would they?”
Those few words made Gage Mcbride’s face change drastically!
