Chapter 228 - 228: Escaping Again_l
Conrad Schroeder’s aura grew thicker and thicker, with a sense of oppression pressing down.
Ethan Smith’s face showed a hint of seriousness.
After all, Conrad Schroeder was a Grandmaster, and his strength should not be underestimated.
With one strike, Ethan Smith might die right here on the spot.
“Rumble…”
Conrad Schroeder waved his palm and crushed down towards Ethan Smith!
“Mr. Smith!”
Just then, a loud shout came from outside.
Upon looking back, Edward Green was panting at the entrance.
He was holding someone in his arms.
It was none other than Miles Schroeder!
Conrad Schroeder lay motionless in Edward Green’s arms, looking dead.
“My son!” The moment Conrad Schroeder saw Miles, he rushed over! He hugged Miles tightly and anxiously asked, “Son, what… what’s wrong with you…”
Ethan Smith let out a sigh of relief.
He had already suspected that something was amiss, so he had inquired about the Schroeder Family’s situation beforehand.
Subsequently, he arrived at the Schroeder Family home early and took a strand of Miles’ hair, using the same method that he used to find Emily Taylor, to locate Miles’ whereabouts.
He then asked Edward Green to find Miles while he attended the banquet alone.
“Thank goodness I made it in time,” Ethan Smith said with a hint of
LleynuctLftJ11.
Had Conrad Schroeder’s palm strike landed, Ethan Smith would have undoubtedly died!
“Ethan Smith, how did you find Miles?” Adrien Bauer glared at Ethan with unwillingness in his eyes.
Ethan Smith sneered, “Do you think it has something to do with you?”
Not far away, Conrad Schroeder was still holding Miles’ body.
To his pain, he found that Miles had no signs of life left.
“Adrien Bauer, you dare to deceive me! I’ll kill you!!” Conrad Schroeder roared with grief and anger, the force of his anger collapsing the house!
Feeling this terrifying murderous spirit, Adrien Bauer’s face suddenly changed!
“Damn it, in my current state, I have no power to fight back! ” Adrien Bauer muttered to himself.
“Damn you, Ethan Smith, remember this, I will kill you sooner or later!”
In this moment of crisis, Adrien Bauer left a sentence behind, detached from Aidan Ortega’s body, turned into a black mist, and fled!
“Stop!”
Ethan Smith urgently yelled!
But it was already too late!
Blinded by rage, Conrad Schroeder only thought of killing Adrien Bauer in front of him!
But the person in front of him was no longer Adrien Bauer, but Aidan Ortega!
In his haste, Ethan Smith bit his teeth, his body flashed, blocking in front of Aidan Ortega.
“Second-layer Saintly Body Skill!” Ethan Smith roared and quickly activated the technique.
His body instantly transformed into a golden color and withstood the blow with his flesh.
“Boom!”
The terrifying palm power hit Ethan Smith squarely!
A large area of the ground where Ethan Smith stood sank, dust filled the air, obscuring everyone’s sight.
“Mr. Smith! ” Edward Green panicked and rushed over in a hurry.
Even Ethan Smith couldn’t withstand this blow.
His golden glow was cracked, and blood almost covered his entire face.
“Mr. Smith!” Edward Green was frantic, hugging Ethan Smith’s body and screaming.
“Stop yelling… I’m not dead yet…” Just as Edward Green mourned, Ethan Smith suddenly got up from the ground.
His body was a little unstable, and it was evident that he had sustained severe injuries from this strike.
“You… you’re alright?” Edward Green asked anxiously.
Ethan Smith waved his hand and then limped towards Conrad Schroeder’s direction.
“Why did you stop me!” Conrad Schroeder stared at Ethan Smith fiercely, his eyes almost spouting fire!Ethan Smith waved his hand and said, “Adrien Bauer has already fled, and the current body belongs to a simple-hearted man named Aidan Ortega…”
Conrad Schroeder roared in anger, “I want to go to the southwest, I want to level Earth Fiend Valley!”
“Don’t worry…” Ethan Smith waved his hand.
He walked in front of Miles Schroeder, extending his hand and placing it on Conrad’s chest.
Ethan used the last bit of qi in his body to flow into Miles’ body.
He then lifted his other hand and placed it on Miles’ forehead.
Strands of dark energy were absorbed by Ethan from Miles’ body.
A moment later, the lifeless Miles on the ground suddenly coughed!
Hearing this cough, a touch of ecstasy flashed across Conrad’s face!
“My son!” Conrad ran over and caught Miles, his ravaged face instantly streaked with tears!
By this time, Ethan had no strength left, and he whispered, “Luckily I saved him in time, or he might have lost his life…”
After saying this, Ethan fell heavily to the ground!
“Mr. Smith!” Edward Green shouted!
“Conrad, it’s all your fault, you almost killed Mr. Smith!” Edward Green glared at Conrad with resentment.
Conrad turned around, facing Ethan, and fell to his knees with a “thud.”
“Mr. Smith, thank you for saving my son… From today on, I shall obey your every command!” Conrad wept with old tears streaming down his face.
If submitting to Ethan before was due to fear, now it was due to admiration and respect.
Ethan lay in bed for a whole night.
It wasn’t until the early morning of the next day that his body gradually began to recover.
“Phew!”
The next day, Ethan jumped out of the huge bed.
He moved his body around, feeling sore all over.
“Conrad’s palm strike…almost killed me,” Ethan muttered.
Soon, Conrad came in with Miles from outside the door.
“Mr. Smith, you’re awake,” Conrad bowed and said.
Ethan rolled his eyes and said, “I almost didn’t wake up.”
This made Conrad feel a bit guilty, and he immediately kowtowed again to
Ethan.
Afterward, Conrad looked at Miles and scolded, “Hurry up and thank your savior!”
Miles glared at Ethan and said with some defiance, “Well, thanks.”
“Say it nicely!” Conrad scolded.
Ethan waved his hand and said, “Forget it, I just did it casually anyway, don’t take it to heart.”
Conrad opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first,” Ethan said as he got up from the bed.
Conrad hurriedly said, “Are you leaving so soon?”
“Well, time is precious, and I can’t waste it.” Ethan muttered.
Conrad had no choice but to send Ethan away from Shiglance City.
At this point, Ethan suddenly thought of something.
He turned to look at Conrad and smiled, “One day, I will personally level Earth Fiend Valley.”
After leaving these words, Ethan turned around and left.
Though he originally planned to go to White City, he decided to visit River City first after reconsidering.
After all, it was still his hometown, and he felt a sense of belonging.
The car sped along the road, and soon he returned to River City.
On that day, the entrance to Longyue Community was visited by an unwelcomed guest.
A Maybach was parked at the entrance, its Capital City license plate indicating the extraordinariness of the visitor.
A young man broke through the villa’s gates and entered Ethan ‘s house.
He acted as if no one was there, as if he was the master of the house.
The young man stood in Ethan’s bedroom.
Looking at the wall covered entirely with group photos, his face grew colder..
