Chapter 336: 336: Pavilion Master Returns_l
Looking further ahead, there were hundreds of years’ worth of herbs growing luxuriantly in this storage room.
Ethan Smith swallowed his saliva, even having the thought of sweeping everything away.
Of course, Ethan could only think about it.
Such looting did not suit Ethan’s temperament.
He took a hundred herbs that had been growing for several decades and turned around to leave the storage room.
“You can count them, there are a hundred in total.” Ethan placed the herbs in front of the two alchemists.
The two alchemists hurriedly nodded and said, “Mr. Smith, you should register it.”
“Alright.” Ethan agreed with a nod.
He wrote down his name and the number of herbs on the paper, and then stored all the herbs in his Spatial Magic Artifact.
After returning to his residence, Ethan couldn’t wait to take out these herbs.
Looking at the herbs scattered all over the floor, Ethan couldn’t help but feel like a wealthy tycoon.
“Speaking of which, I think my card is out of money.” Ethan suddenly thought of a problem.
During this period, Ethan spent quite a bit of money to salvage herbs.
The two billion in his bank account was nearly depleted.
So, Ethan took out his cell phone and called Ray Walters.
After the call connected, Ethan asked, “How much money is left in my account now?”
Ray Walters on the other end hurriedly said, “Wait a moment, let me check for you.”
A few minutes later, Ray Walters called back, somewhat embarrassed, “Mr. Smith, all the money in the account was used to expand the company, so…”
“So how much is left?” Ethan asked.
Ray Walters said solemnly, “Less than 300 million.”
“300 million…”
This number was much less than he had imagined.
Although Ethan didn’t care about money, in this world, it’s difficult to get by without money.
Moreover, money is ultimately a hard currency. If he were to encounter a top-quality herb someday, he might have to spend a huge amount of money.
“I see.” Ethan hung up the phone.
He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, “Looks like I need to find a way to make money…”
As his words trailed off, the door was suddenly flung open.
Following that, Third Elder rushed in angrily.
By his side were two other authoritative-looking elderly men.
“Law Enforcement Elders, it’s him!” Third Elder pointed at Ethan and said.
“He not only forcibly broke into the storage room but also stole the herbs!
Please punish him severely, Law Enforcement Elders!”
The two Law Enforcement Elders in front of him coldly looked at Ethan and said, “Who allowed you to forcibly break into the storage room?”
Ethan stood up and politely said, “Greetings to the two Law Enforcement Elders.”
Then, Ethan explained the whole story to the Law Enforcement Elders.
“If it weren’t for Third Elder forcefully withholding the herbs, I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in the storage room.” Ethan bowed and said.
“Don’t try to throw your dirty water on me!” Third Elder said with a weird tone. “It’s clear that you were coveting the herbs and broke into the storage room.”
Ethan couldn’t be bothered to deal with Third Elder. He bowed and said, “Two Law Enforcement Elders, I only took a hundred herbs with a few decades of effectiveness for practice. This shouldn’t have violated any rules, right?”
Law Enforcement Elder coldly said, “Regardless of the reason, you should not forcibly enter the storage room.”
“Yes, yes, yes, he also beat up Travis Blair, who came to collect the Pill!” Third Elder clamored.
Law Enforcement Elder looked at Ethan coldly and said, “Come with us.”
Ethan frowned. The strength of these two Law Enforcement Elders was at the Peak Form of Grandmaster Realm. In front of them, Ethan had almost no chance of winning.
“Please have mercy, Law Enforcement Elders!”
By his side were Edward Green and Sofia Carrillo.
Fifth Elder quickly approached and explained, “Please spare him, Law Enforcement Elders. All of this is the result of Third Elder’s trap, and it has little to do with Ethan Smith.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Third Elder shouted angrily.
Fifth Elder coldly snorted, “Whether it’s related to you or not, you know it in your heart.”
“What does it have to do with me? Let me tell you…”
“Enough!” The Law Enforcement Elder interrupted their quarrel.
He glanced at Ethan and said, “No matter what the reason, you are not qualified to enter the storage room. According to the rules, we must punish you. Come with us.”
Fifth Elder wanted to say something, but Ethan waved his hand to stop him. He stood up and said, “Fine, I will go with you.”
After that, Ethan Smith was taken away from the mansion by the two Law Enforcement Elders.
“Fifth Elder, what should we do? Mr. Smith won’t be in trouble, right?” Edward Green asked anxiously.
Fifth Elder waved his hand and said, “The Pavilion Master is coming back tomorrow. We’ll let her decide.”
“Hehe, the Pavilion Master will surely not let this arrogant kid off the hook when she comes back!” Third Elder said in a weird tone.
Fifth Elder coldly looked at Third Elder and said, “You will pay for what you have done.”
“Hahaha, I’d like to see how you’ll make me pay the price!” Third Elder snorted and left with his sleeves flapping.
Ethan was taken to a dark room by the Law Enforcement Elders.
Although the room seemed a bit dilapidated, what surprised Ethan was that there was a formation set up here too!
In this formation, Ethan’s strength was greatly suppressed, making it impossible for him to escape.
“You stay here for now. The situation is complicated, so we’ll wait for the Pavilion Master to return and make a decision.” One of the Law Enforcement Elders said.
“Ethan, we also heard about your deeds and believe you were framed. However, we have to follow the rules.” Another Law Enforcement Elder said.
It was evident that they also disliked Third Elder. Ethan nodded and said, “Okay, thank you, Elders.”
The two elders didn’t say anything else and left.
For Ethan, this so-called prison didn’t matter much; he could just sleep wherever he was.
Furthermore, the tougher the environment, the more it could temper a person’s will.
Ethan sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed.
His state of mind gradually calmed down, as if he was in his own world.
The next day was the day the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion returned.
By early morning, the two Law Enforcement Elders came in.
“Ethan, you can go out now, but don’t wander around. When the Pavilion
Master returns, she will definitely summon you.” Law Enforcement Elder said.
Ethan clasped his hands in thanks and said, “Thank you, two elders.” After that, Ethan turned around and walked out of the prison cell.
At noon, all the alchemists of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, big and small, gathered in the square.
The eight elders, led by the First Elder, quietly waited for the return of the Pavilion Master.
“Kid, wait until the Pavilion Master returns and see how you’ll handle this!” Third Elder sneered at Ethan..
