The car slowly drove away, and Ethan Smith just watched the Taylor family’s car disappear from his sight.
Meanwhile, a tear slid down Emily Taylor’s face in the car.
Ethan stood there for a long time, clenching his fists tightly and holding back tears.
“I will, I will go to Capital City as soon as possible!” Ethan couldn’t help but yell out loud.
people around mm looked at him as It ne was Insane.
Ethan returned to the hotel, packed up his belongings, and quickly left South City, heading for River City.
With three in his hand, Ethan needed to quickly improve his strength and reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Throughout the journey, Ethan’s mood was incredibly heavy and difficult to settle.
Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Emily Taylor’s figure.
“Emily, wait for me,” Ethan whispered softly.
That day, the news of Emily Taylor’s departure swept through the entire River City.
Countless people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Emily Taylor was like a mountain weighing heavily on everyone’s heart.
During this time, everyone was careful with their actions, lest they accidentally provoke the wrath of this great figure.
“Finally, Emily Taylor is gone.”
“Damn, life has been so cautious lately.”
“With Emily Taylor gone, isn’t Ethan Smith left without a backer?”
“Yeah, without Emily Taylor backing him up, how long can Ethan survive?”
At night, Ethan returned to River City.
Edward Green was already waiting at home early on.
“Mr. Smith,” Edward poured a cup of tea for Ethan.
Ethan took a sip of the tea, then looked at Edward and said, “I need your help with something.”
“Please tell me, Mr. Smith,” Edward nodded hastily.
Ethan took a deep breath and said, “I need you to act as a guardian for me, for at least three days.”
“Guardian?” Edward was startled.
Ethan nodded and said, “I need to go into secluded cultivation and can’t have any distractions.”
“Edward, right now you are the only one I trust,” Ethan said seriously.
Edward was immediately flattered and said, “Please rest assured, Mr. Smith, I will do my best!”
Ethan nodded and waved his hand, “Rest tonight.”
Back in his room, Ethan lay in bed but couldn’t sleep.
Every time he closed his eyes, Emily Taylor’s tender face appeared in front of him.
His mind was filled with the countless words Emily had said to him.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down by sitting cross -legged on the bed.
For cultivation, mentality is even more crucial.
Over the course of the night, Ethan’s mental state seemed to change subtly.
He didn’t know if Emily’s words had an impact, but he felt that his heart had grown a bit tougher.
Ethan walked out of his room.
His face showed no expression, but it was tinged with a hint of coldness.
“Mr. Smith,” Edward prepared tea for Ethan early in the morning. Ethan nodded and said, “Call Ray Walters to come see me.”
“Yes, Mr. Smith,” Edward nodded immediately.
Ray Walters and Alan arrived at Dragon Rising Community.
In the living room, Edward served tea and water to everyone, while Ray looked puzzled.
Ethan remained silent, just watching Ray quietly.
“Ray, how have the recent earnings been?” Ethan asked.
Ray hurriedly said, “Mr. Smith, our market share is steadily increasing, and I have already set up factories for mass production of Soul Nourishment Pills.” Ethan squinted and said, “Miss Taylor has left, and I suppose many people will have their eyes on me, even wanting to get rid of me.”
“Ray, have you ever thought about betraying me?” Ethan asked coldly, looking at Ray.
Ray’s face changed instantly, and he shook his head, “Mr. Smith, I would never think of such a thing! Without you, I would still be an old gangster, sooner or later to be eliminated…”
After making sure that Ray had no intention of betraying him, Ethan asked,
“Good, I will not treat you all unfairly.”
“Thank you, Mr. Smith!” Ray nodded quickly.
Afterward, Ethan stood up, glanced at Alan, and said, “Last time I promised to teach you breathing techniques. Come find me in a week.”
Alan bowed and said, “Thank you, Mr. Smith.”
Ethan couldn’t trust Ray Walters 100%, so he had to win over Alan.
After leaving Dragon Rising Community, Ray couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
“Damn, that scared me,” Ray muttered.
Alan frowned and asked, “Ray, you don’t really have any other plans, do you?” “Nonsense!” Ray scolded loudly.
“Do you think I’m as stupid as those people? Since Miss Taylor could see the potential in Mr. Smith, he must have exceptional abilities!”
“I believe it won’t be long before Mr. Smith achieves great things!”
After Ray left, Ethan, together with Edward, left Dragon Rising Community.
“Mr. Smith, where are we going?” Edward asked.
Ethan said, “We’re going to find a quiet place.”
This quiet place referred to the Riverside Villa where Benjamin Hill used to live. The environment there was quiet, remote, and full of qi, just what Ethan needed.
After the Hill family fell, Stephen Hill’s relatives took over their assets, and they were recently put up for auction on the Internet.
Ethan and Edward quickly arrived at Riverside Villa.
Edward stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, a man came out to open the door.
“Who are you looking for?” the man asked.
Edward said quickly, “We heard that this place is up for sale recently, and we plan to buy it.”
The man glanced at Ethan and nodded. “Come in.”
As they entered the villa, they saw four or five people sitting inside.
“Hey, Ethan Smith!” One of the young men stood up as soon as he saw Ethan. Ethan glanced at him and said, “I don’t think I know you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me, but I know you,” the young man sneered.
“I’m Adrian Lyons from the Lyons family in River City!” Adrian said arrogantly. Ethan frowned slightly, “The Lyons Family? Never heard of them.”
Adrian’s face changed, and he angrily said, “You! Fine, it’s okay if you don’t know me, but you know Nola O’Connor, right?”
“Oh, that unruly little girl,” Ethan nodded.
Adrian said coldly, “Because of you, Nola O’Connor was almost sent to a coal
mine! I didn’t dare touch you before because of the Taylor family, but now that Emily Taylor is gone, let’s see what you can do!”
Ethan laughed coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
Adrian snorted, “I’ll give you a choice, either kneel down, and I’ll film a video, or I’ll beat you down, it’s up to you to choose.”
Ethan scratched his head, “Now that Miss Taylor is gone, even you irrelevant people dare to make a fuss?
