Chapter 100: The Sinister Asher Lane_l
Translator: 549690339
Seeing Ethan Smith so stubborn, the two of them didn’t say more, but there was a hint of pity in their eyes.
For Ethan, this Knotweed was extremely important; if he could get it, he would have a lot of confidence in reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Once he entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, Ethan would not be afraid of any dogshit Lane Family.
“Congratulations to Mr. Smith for winning a Knotweed plant with a price of 10 billion!” The auctioneer on the stage shouted excitedly.
This was the grand finale of the auction, so after the deal was made, the auction was over.
The crowd began to disperse, and Ethan and Emily Taylor got up and walked towards the backstage area.
As they passed by Asher Lane, he suddenly said coldly, “Kid, you’ve got guts. No one has ever dared to offend our Lane Family in South City.”
“Oh, really? I’m honored to be the first,” Ethan replied indifferently.
Asher sneered, “You’re really asking for death. I hope you don’t regret it.” Ethan didn’t bother with him any further. He would handle whatever came his way.
Soon, Ethan and Emily arrived backstage.
“Wait for me here,” Emily said, grabbing Ethan’s arm.
After saying that, she ran off to the side and called her father, Hugh Taylor.
As soon as the call connected, Hugh laughed, “Emily, what made you think of calling me?”
“Dad, hurry up and transfer 10 billion to my card,” Emily said.
Hugh frowned slightly on the other end, “Why do you suddenly need so much money? Is everything okay?”
“Yes, it’s important. Hurry up and transfer it!” Emily then hung up the phone.
Ethan stared, dumbfounded.
10 billion sounded as simple as 10 dollars coming from Emily’s mouth…
In no time, Hugh transferred the money to Emily’s account.
“Let’s go,” Emily winked.
Ethan didn’t know what to say, but he probably wouldn’t be able to repay Emilv’s kindness.
After finishing the procedures, the two took their auction items and left.
“Huh, isn’t this jade pendant supposed to be mine?” Emily blinked.
Ethan said mysteriously, “I can’t give it to you yet. I have to deal with it first.”
Emily nodded, “Okay, but you better do it quickly.”
Auctions weren’t held every day, so the location was relatively remote, surrounded by thick jungles.
Ethan took a deep breath, feeling the qi that rushed towards him from all directions, and couldn’t help but get excited.
“South City is really a great place,” Ethan raised his hands, looking content.
“It is,” Emily agreed, smiling as she looked at Ethan’s side profile.
“When we get older, let’s buy a house in South City,” Ethan joked. “Sure, but you have to work hard,” Emily chuckled, starting the car.
At that moment, Asher was sitting in a car, coldly looking in Emily’s direction.
“Capital City license plate… Younger Lord of Lane Family, it seems that these two came from Capital City. Should we be more cautious…?” The old servant frowned.
Asher kept his face cold and said, “So what if they’re from Capital City? If I kill them, no one can trace it back to me!”
“I must have that Knotweed!” Asher fiercely punched the car seat.
The old servant didn’t say anything more.
He knew Asher’s personality very well; once he made a decision, no one could change it.
Ethan and Emily drove leisurely, enjoying the sea breeze as it blew by.
Suddenly, three cars appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed, but before he could say anything, a car slowly approached from behind.
“It must be Asher,” Ethan said, narrowing his eyes.
Then, Ethan turned to Emily and instructed, “Stay in the car and wait for me, don’t get out no matter what happens, understand?” “Yes, I know. I trust you!” Emily said, clenching her little fists.
Ethan got out of the car.
He stood in front of the vehicle, silently waiting for Asher to arrive.
Soon after, Asher’s car stopped in front of Ethan.
“Kid, I told you before, you’ll regret it,” Asher said, stepping out of the car with his servant.
Ethan laughed, “Do I look like I regret it? Where do you see regret?”
“Sharp-tongued brat,” Asher said coldly.
“I’m giving you a chance now. Give the Knotweed back to me, then cripple your own legs, and I might spare your life,” Asher said coldly.
Ethan squinted, “The Lane Family is really overbearing. I paid for it, why should I give it to you?”
Asher was furious, “Whatever I set my eyes on is mine! Know your place!”
“The one who needs to know their place is you,” Ethan’s face turned cold, and his energy quickly increased to the maximum.
“Younger Lord of Lane Family, would you like me to deal with him?” Asher’s servant suddenly spoke up.
Asher lit a cigarette and coldly said, “Since he wants to die, go ahead and kill him.”
“Yes, sir,” the old servant nodded.
He slowly walked towards Ethan, smiling sinisterly, “Kid, I know you’ve got
some skills, but in front of me, they’re nothing.” “You sure do talk a lot,” Ethan said coldly.
“Get on with it, I still need to go back and sleep.”
The old servant laughed, “Ignorance knows no fear. Fine…. I’ll show you what true power is! “
