Chapter 395: 395: The Ambition of the Taylor Family_1
This was a bit surprising to him.
All along, Evelyn Norton seemed to be someone without a temper.
Such coldness as she displayed today was truly unprecedented.
“Tell me, who should I kill?” Ethan Smith nodded.
Evelyn spoke in a deep voice, “First, Glenn Tucker. Second, Saul Holt. Both of them will go to the battlefield today.”
“Glenn Tucker… Reginald Tucker’s father?” Ethan guessed.
Evelyn looked somewhat surprised, “How did you know?”
Ethan smiled, “I guessed it. By the way… why do you want to kill these two?”
In response, Evelyn remained silent.
However, her expression appeared quite unpleasant.
Guessing that the matter might be difficult to mention, Ethan changed the topic, “What’s their cultivation level?”
Evelyn glanced at Ethan and said, “They have been at the Grandmaster Peak for years, their strength is strong, and they are quite famous in the Central Plains region.”
“Grandmaster Peak…” Ethan stroked his chin.
With his current cultivation level, it would be somewhat difficult to quickly take out two Grandmasters at their peak.
If it came to a big fight, their target would likely be exposed.
“I promise you.” After much thought, Ethan finally nodded in agreement.
Evelyn took a deep breath, bowed her hands, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Smith.”
Ethan laughed, “I should be the one to thank you.”
Though Ethan didn’t know what had happened, based on Evelyn’s expression, it seemed she held a deep grudge or hatred.
“Speaking of this hat… can’t it be a different color?” Ethan scratched his head.
Wearing a green hat on his head looked quite noticeable.
Evelyn smirked, “No.”
“Why should Mr. Smith care so much? Nowadays, many young people don’t care about this.”
Ethan scratched his head, “It’s just too conspicuous…”
Evelyn spread her hands, “There’s nothing I can do. If you really can’t stand it, you don’t have to wear it.”
“Let’s just keep wearing it.” Ethan muttered.
He fastened the hat to the ground, and it looked pretty cool.
“Why don’t you participate yourself?” Ethan looked at Evelyn and asked.
Evelyn feigned a sigh, “I am just a Grandmaster. I don’t have the prowess like Mr. Smith. If I really went, I’m afraid I wouldn’t gain anything and would only encounter danger.”
Ethan rolled his eyes, “Miss Norton, don’t be modest. You are definitely not as simple as you seem.”
Evelyn feigned fear, “Mr. Smith, you can’t just say things like that. I am just a weak woman…”
Ethan didn’t continue joking with Evelyn. Time was of the essence, so after saying his goodbyes, he took a car towards Shiglance City.
The group soon arrived at Shiglance City.
“Ethan, I’ll go with you.” Sofia Carrillo said.
Ethan rolled his eyes, “If you go, I’ll be exposed. Just wait for me in the hotel.”
Then, Ethan looked at Evelyn and said, “Miss Norton, please take care of these two.”
Evelyn leaned slightly and said, “Mr. Smith, rest assured.”
Ethan nodded without saying more, and prepared to head to the battlefield in his car.
At this moment, the quarantine line around the village had been withdrawn, and aristocratic families from all over had arrived early once again.
In addition to the children of aristocratic families, some reclusive experts had also arrived at the scene.
This was enough to prove the importance of this battlefield.
Ethan couldn’t help but frown as he sensed the surrounding atmosphere.
Initially, he thought there would be countless people here today, but he couldn’t have imagined that there were only a dozen people in sight.
All of these people were at the Peak Form of Grandmaster Realm! There wasn’t even a single ordinary Grandmaster!
And Ethan was the only one at the Grandmaster level!
“No wonder Evelyn didn’t come.” Ethan stuck out his tongue, feeling a subtle sense of unease in his heart.The hat on his head was already eye-catching, and with such a low level, it seemed even more out of place.
As expected, the moment Ethan Smith appeared, everyone looked over at him.
“Huh? A Grandmaster dares to come here?” someone frowned and said.
“And wearing a green hat, is there something wrong with his head?”
“A mere ant, and yet hoping to covet the treasure?”
For a moment, more than a dozen people stared in Ethan Smith’s direction!
Ethan Smith’s expression changed slightly.
The thing he feared had happened!
Quickly, this group of people approached Ethan Smith.
“Who let you come?” an elderly man with white hair coldly questioned.
Ethan Smith frowned and said, “This place doesn’t seem to belong to anyone, so why can’t I come?”
“Humph, you want to share the treasure with your abilities? You’re way out of your league!” someone coldly scolded.
“One should know one’s limits, too greedy, and you will bring disaster to yourself!”
“To prevent this kid from taking advantage of us, why not kill him first?”
As they spoke, the murderous spirit burst forth from the bodies of these dozen-odd Peak Form of Grandmaster.
“Damn it.” Ethan Smith’s face changed.
He had no chance to resist against these dozen-odd Peak Form of Grandmaster!
“Looks like I need to retreat now.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
Just as he was about to use the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique to escape, a sudden voice came from nearby.
“Ants have their uses too. There are dangers hidden everywhere in this battlefield. Leave him behind to explore the way.” A middle-aged man said nearby.
Hearing his words, everyone looked sideways at this middle-aged man.
The scene fell into a brief silence, each person seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
“Mr. Tucker’s words make sense.” Finally, someone agreed with his proposal.
Mr. Tucker?
Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow.
Could this man be Glenn Tucker?
“That’s right, there is a lot of dark energy and danger in this place. If we are not careful, we will fall. He is the perfect candidate for exploration.”
“Hmm, I agree with Mr. Tucker’s proposal.”
Glenn Tucker immediately looked at Ethan Smith and said, “Boy, if you don’t want to die, just listen and work for us. If you’re lucky enough to survive, you might even gain an opportunity.”
Ethan Smith quickly replied, “I’ll definitely follow your instructions…”
Though he said so, he cursed them all in his heart.
Afterward, this group of people ignored Ethan Smith and started chatting amongst themselves.
From their conversation, Ethan Smith roughly figured out the identities of these people.
Besides Glenn Tucker and Saul Holt, who Evelyn Norton wanted to eliminate, the other people were all heads of top martial arts families from the Central Plains region!
In the Central Plains region, they were almost all dominant figures, with strong power in martial arts, business, and other aspects!
“These people… might be useful to me.” Ethan Smith’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself.
At this moment, a car slowly drove up nearby.
After the car stopped, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes got out of it.
Seeing this young man, everyone hurriedly went to greet him.
“Mr. Tenny, you’ve arrived. We have been waiting for you for a long time.”
This person was none other than Sammy Taylor, the son of Clarence Taylor from the Taylor family and Emily Taylor’s cousin!
Sammy Taylor’s brows carried an indescribable heroic aura. He nodded to everyone and said, “My great uncle said that if you are all willing to serve the Taylor family, we won’t treat you unfairly.”
Hearing his words, everyone hurriedly replied, “Oh, it’s our great honor to serve the Taylor family!”
Sammy Taylor nodded slightly and said, “The Taylor family will soon unify the large and small martial arts families in the North. By then, you all will be the first meritorious officials.”
Upon hearing his words, Ethan Smith’s face suddenly changed!
The Taylor family is planning to unify the big and small martial arts families in the North?
