Chapter 282: 282: Submit or Die_l

Over the years, these four great families appeared to be living peacefully, but in fact, they engaged in fierce power struggles.

Other small families in Chuzzle were required to make regular offerings to them.

The herbs collected each year were countless.

Ethan Smith’s eyes were cold as he murmured to himself, “It’s time for you to pay up.”

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the Divine Medicine in his hand.

He did not rush into alchemy, but temporarily stored the medicine in his bracelet, as the refining process might take a long time.

Moreover, Ethan was somewhat dissatisfied with his current strength.

Many high-level Pills require strength to support them.

Therefore, Ethan planned to enter the Monastic Stage and use the herbs later.

By then, he could try to refine a Divine Rank Pill.

The next day.

The Four Great Families arrived at the Schroeder Family early in the morning.

In a pavilion, everyone was drinking and chatting, looking quite at ease.

“Mr. Smith, what do you want us for?” Curtis Perez from the Perez Family asked.

Conrad Schroeder shook his head and replied, “I’m not sure.”

“Tsk, to have such a reputation as the King of Chuzzle at such a young age, it’s really enviable.” Someone from the Dennis Family suddenly said in a mocking tone.

Conrad glanced at him and said, “Mr. Smith has the qualifications, and the title of the King of Chuzzle was given to him by everyone else.” As they were speaking, Ethan walked over from not far away.

Seeing Ethan, everyone stood up and greeted him.

Ethan nodded slightly, acknowledging the greetings.

He entered the pavilion, found a seat, and sat down. Then, he looked at the peonple in front of him

“Mr. Smith, what can we do for you?” Jaelen Watts from the Perez Family asked.

Ethan took a sip of water, looked at everyone, and went straight to the point, “I want you to submit to me.”

Everyone was shocked at these words!

Jaelen was even more outraged and stood up, exclaiming loudly, “Submit to you? Our Four Great Families have been in Chuzzle for many years and have never submitted to anyone!”

“That’s right, even at the peak of the Schroeder Family, we didn’t surrender.”

Ethan glanced at them and said lightly, “It’s because I hadn’t come before. Now that I’m here, you should submit.”

“From today on, I want each of you to give me a fifty-year-old herb every month.”

Ethan’s domineering tone instantly provoked discontent among the crowd.

Jaelen stared coldly at Ethan and said, “Mr. Smith, this is robbery and plunder! Do you think this is fair?”

Ethan replied indifferently, “You’re right. But as far as I know, the various martial arts families in Chuzzle also give offerings to you every year, right? Even some herb merchants have to sell you herbs at low prices. Aren’t you also robbing them?”

“It’s their duty.” Jaelen snorted.

Donnie Anderson from the Anderson Family also said lightly, “It’s merely the survival of the fittest. They are weak and deserve to be robbed.”

Upon hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but sneer, “That’s right, but in my eyes, what makes you any different?”

“You oppress others, and I can oppress you all the same.”

Hearing this, the four of them could no longer sit still!

They slammed their fists on the table and scolded angrily, “Ethan Smith, don’t go too far! Although our Four Families are not at the top tier, we don’t need you to humiliate us!”

Jaelen said coldly, “Sorry, we do not accept your proposal.”

Ethan looked at everyone coldly and said, “Do you think I’m discussing this with you? I’m informing you.”

“Today, I give you two choices: either submit or die here.”

Everyone’s faces changed, while Jaelen strode towards Ethan and shouted, “Ethan Smith, you are pushing too far!”

Ethan immediately waved his hand and slapped Jaelen!

With a crisp “bang, ” Jaelen was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

“You have to agree whether you like it or not,” Ethan said coldly.

Seeing the fallen Jaelen, the others’ faces turned ugly.

“Mr. Smith, can you give us some time to consider?” Donnie Anderson gritted his teeth and asked.

“No.” Ethan was extremely overbearing, not giving them any chance at all.

“Heh, Ethan Smith, do you know that our Dennis Family used to be a renowned aristocratic family in the River North Region?” This time, Archie Dennis suddenly spoke up.

“So?” Ethan raised his eyebrows.

Archie said lightly, “Reginald Tucker from River North was a friend of our Dennis Family, and my son, Joel Dennis, was known as a genius on par with him!”

“Well, Reginald once begged for mercy at my feet.” Ethan said indifferently.

Archie burst into laughter when he heard this, “Bragging! Reginald is a genius in the River North Region, how could he beg for mercy from you?”

“I can vouch for what Mr. Smith said,” Conrad Schroeder said solemnly.

Archie cursed, “Conrad, you’re just colluding with this Ethan, do you think I would believe your words?”

Conrad’s tace turned cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Archie’s neck!

“Who gave you the courage to shout in front of me?” Conrad said coldly.

As he applied more force, Archie’s face turned red!

“Conrad… I… go fuck yourself!” Archie gritted his teeth and spat out these few words.

“Courting death!” Conrad abruptly increased his grip, and Archie’s neck was instantly broken on the spot!

Everyone present was ashen-faced, terrified.

“I give you one minute to consider,” Ethan said lightly.

After exchanging glances, Jaelen gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Smith, I… I am willing to submit!”

Ethan nodded in satisfaction and asked, “What about you?”

The remaining few also hastily agreed, ‘We are willing to submit, too!”

Ethan nodded with satisfaction, stood up slowly, and swept his gaze over them. He said, “I won’t take your herbs for nothing.”

After saying that, Ethan reached out and had three Foundation Establishment Pills in his palm.

“This pill is called the Foundation Establishment Pill, and after taking it, your strength will be increased by one small stage.” Ethan flicked his fingers, and the three pills landed in the hands of the others.

After receiving the pills, everyone bowed and said, “Thank you, Mr. Smith!”

Ethan glanced at them and said, “I hope you can deliver the herbs to me tomorrow.”

After leaving these words behind, Ethan prepared to leave.

“The King of Chuzzle is indeed overbearing.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

Turning around, he saw an elderly man walking slowly towards them with his hands clasped behind his back..
