Chapter 412: 412: Reaching a Collaboration_1
He waved his hand to signal the women in cheongsam to leave.
Then he slowly stood up and walked to the window.
“What does he want in Unchon?” Colt Kirby frowned deeply.
“Could he be coming for us? As far as I know, Ethan Smith seems to have killed more than a dozen Peak Form of Grandmasters!” Armando Kirby said solemnly.
Colt Kirby was silent for a moment.
Although he was a bit worried, he still firmly believed in his heart that Ethan Smith was nothing more than a hero created by the capital city’s resources.
The so-called killing of more than a dozen Grandmasters was mere nonsense, merely to add a layer of halo to him.
“If he really is coming for us, I’d like to give him a warm welcome.” Colt Kirby sneered.
The Kirby Family currently had the capacity to mobilize ten Grandmasters at most.
Among them, only five were at the Peak Form, and they were far behind those from the Capital City.
But in Colt Kirby’s view, it was already more than enough.
As Colt Kirby pondered, someone suddenly entered from outside.
“Master, someone outside wants to see you.” A man dressed as a Steward bowed and said.
“Who wants to see me? Who is it?” Colt Kirby inquired.
The Steward replied, “I don’t recognize him, but he said he’s here to help you.”
“To help me?” Colt Kirby raised his eyebrows, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
“Interesting, very interesting.” Colt Kirby stroked his beard lightly as he chuckled, then got up and walked towards the living room.
There was a man sitting in the living room.
The man’s aura had been concealed, so he looked no different from a common man.
Colt Kirby looked at him and asked, “Who are you?”
The man stood up first, greeted Colt Kirby with a slight bow with his hands clasped, and then directly stated, “Ethan Smith is here.”
Colt Kirby scoffed, “Are you just going to tell me this?”
The man continued, “Ethan Smith is here to kill you.”
Upon hearing this, Colt Kirby couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “To kill me? Does he have the ability?! This is pure nonsense! If he wants to use me as a stepping stone, he should first see if he’s capable!”
The stranger looked at Colt Kirby coldly and said, “Mr. Kirby, the current Ethan Smith can kill you as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.”
These words undoubtedly infuriated Colt Kirby!
“Do you know what you’re talking about?!” Colt Kirby shouted angrily.
The stranger remained calm and coldly retorted, “Not to mention you, even I have no certainty of defeating Ethan Smith.”
“Oh? So you mean you’re above me?” Colt Kirby’s aura suddenly erupted, and a rolling murderous spirit pressured him!
“Indeed.” The stranger was not at all frightened by Colt Kirby but appeared extremely calm.
Colt Kirby sneered, “Then let me see your prowess!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Colt Kirby clenched his fists, and a roaring Dragon Chant echoed!
“Swish!”
Air currents wrapped around Colt Kirby’s fists, aiming straight for the stranger’s vitals!
However, this powerful punch was easily dissolved by the other party!
The stranger merely lifted his hand to catch Colt Kirby’s punch!
“Huh?” Colt Kirby’s face changed, and he tried to counterattack, but it was already too late!
He saw the stranger’s mouth open slightly, and a divine seal in the shape of a landscape painting roared out!
The divine seal condensed in midair, and an ancient aura pervaded!
For an instant, Colt Kirby felt his whole body unable to budge, as if his body were sealed and forcibly pressed to the ground!
“Ah!!”
Colt Kirby raised his head and roared, trying in vain to struggle, but the divine seal on his body remained motionless!
“It’s useless, you can’t break free.” The stranger coldly said.
Colt Kirby seemed to realize the horror of the divine seal, so he gave up resisting and asked coldly, “Who are you?”
The stranger casually replied, “Elder of the Halcroen Sect, Zion Middleton.”
“Halcroen Sect?” At this appellation, Colt Kirby’s face changed drastically!
Although this organization had left Pyro for many years, it still left many legends behind!
It was said that when they withdrew from Pyro, they took away countless treasures, including various herbs, divine artifacts, cultivation skills, and more!
This organization had always been a headache for Pyro, as they were elusive and left no trace.
“Halcroen Sect…aren’t you afraid I’ll hand you over to the authorities?” Colt Kirby sneered.
Zion Middleton coolly replied, “Mr. Kirby is a smart man, I believe you won’t do that.”
“Oh?” Colt Kirby raised an eyebrow and continued, “I’m curious to know where your confidence comes from.”
Zion Middleton looked at him and coldly said, “We each need something. Not only can I save your life, but I can also help you get rid of the formidable enemy, Ethan Smith.”
“When you’ve killed Ethan Smith, you can go to the Capital City and ask the Taylor Family for a reward. I believe the reward from the Taylor Family will be higher than what the authorities can offer.”
Colt Kirby was silent for a moment, then sneered, “Fine, you’ve convinced me. But I don’t understand, why don’t you take action yourself?”
Zion Middleton shook his head, “Our organization has recently been targeted by Pyro’s authorities, so we don’t dare to be too conspicuous.”
“Alright.” Colt Kirby was no longer hesitant, “What do you need me to do?”
Zion Middleton coldly stated, “Before killing Ethan Smith, I need to take something from him.”
“A cultivation skill?” Colt Kirby seemed to have guessed.
Zion Middleton nodded slightly, “That’s just one of them, but I have something more important.”
What Zion Middleton referred to as “more important” was Ethan Smith’s body!
The temptation of the chaotic body was far beyond that of a mere cultivation skill!
The two quickly reached an agreement and formed a partnership on the spot.
At this moment, Ethan Smith had just gotten off the plane.
His first objective in coming to Unchon was to kill Colt Kirby and avenge Cato Cain.
The second objective was for Ethan Smith to make his way from the south to the north!
Since the Taylor Family’s announcement on the Martial Arts Forum, most of the large and small sects in the north had actively attended the Taylor Family banquet.
For Ethan Smith to try to insert himself into the affair was probably unrealistic.
That’s why Ethan Smith turned his attention to the southern martial arts world.
Time was running out for Ethan Smith, so he had to act quickly.
“Starting with your Kirby Family then.” Ethan Smith’s eyes were cold and sharp, like the bone-piercing chill of a December wind.
