Ethan Smith’s arrival undoubtedly broke the tranquil atmosphere.
Asher Lane even unconsciously clenched his fists, glaring with a fierce expression.
Ethan Smith quickly swept his gaze, and soon locked his eyes on Blaze Lane.
Afterward, Ethan leisurely walked over and sat down opposite of Blaze.
Blaze’s brows furrowed slightly but soon relaxed.
“Are you Ethan Smith?” Blaze asked with a smile.
Ethan nodded and said, “Mr. Lane, are the herbs and contract ready?”
Blaze laughed heartily and said, “Don’t be so hasty, young man. Have some tea first.”
After saying that, Blaze waved his hand, signaling his men to pour a cup of tea for Ethan.
“Please,” Blaze said with a faint smile.
Ethan lowered his head, then drained the tea cup in one gulp.
After finishing, Ethan couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“Pour another cup for Mr. Smith,” Blaze said with a faint smile.
His men hurriedly refilled Ethan’s cup.
Ethan squinted his eyes, put down the tea cup, and said, “Let’s talk about business. ”
“Hehe, Mr. Smith, there’s no need to be so impatient. Our Lane Family never goes back on our word. Moreover, you and Asher become acquainted through fights. Our Lane Family is willing to make friends with you,” Blaze waved his hand, still smiling.
Hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
He wouldn’t believe even a punctuation mark from this sly old fox!
Blaze poured another cup of tea for Ethan and casually said, “Mr. Smith, it’s admirable for you to have achieved so much after coming from a small place like River City.”
Ethan glanced at him and said, “Mr. Lane is too kind. I am just lucky.”
Blaze remained expressionless and continued, “I heard you are an orphan?” Ethan’s brows furrowed, feeling slightly displeased, but still nodded and said,
Blaze stroked his chin and sighed, “Nowadays, many wealthy young people like to leave their families and hide their identities to gain experience. I understand.”
Upon nearing Blaze’s words, Etnan nad a pretty good Idea ot wnat ne wanted to ask.
He didn’t say anything, waiting for Blaze to continue.
Seeing Ethan’s composure, Blaze went on asking, “Not long ago, Miss Taylor from the Taylor Family suddenly went to River City to invest. This has caused quite a stir.”
Ethan smiled and said, “Yes, River City is just a small place. Not to mention the Taylor Family from the Capital City, even the Lane Family wouldn’t be willing to invest there, right?”
“Haha, indeed, River City has no investment value,” Blaze said with a smile and nod.
Ethan fell silent again, which made Blaze feel somewhat displeased.
He tentatively asked, “Rumors have it that you are the illegitimate son of the Taylor family, and their investment in River City is to support you.” Ethan laughed.
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said, “Mr. Lane, I have no connection with the Taylor family, and they will not provide any help for me.” Blaze’s eyes lit up, but his cautious nature still made him feel a bit uneasy.
Thus, Blaze feigned surprise and said, “It seems unlikely, doesn’t it? Miss Taylor has destroyed the Hill family in a fit of rage for you. This has spread throughout Chuzzle Province.”
“It’s because the Hill family kidnapped Miss Taylor. It has nothing to do with me,” Ethan said.
“As for the relationship between Miss Taylor and me, the Taylor family does not recognize it,” Ethan confessed without any reservation.
After hearing these words from Ethan, Blaze finally relaxed.
Since the Taylor family did not recognize their relationship, Blaze had nothing to worry about.
His full-faced smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by an indescribable playfulness.
“Ethan, you are still too young, reckless, and don’t understand the ways of the world. You easily exposed your true situation,” Blaze said with a slightly regretful shake of his head.
“If I were you, I would have deliberately blurred my relationship with the Taylor family to keep others guessing, so they wouldn’t take the risk to challenge me, but unfortunately, you’re too stupid. You were deceived by my kind appearance, and you easily revealed your bottom line,” Blaze sneered.
Ethan glanced at him and said, “You don’t really think I didn’t know your little plan, do you? You seem polite, but every word you say is testing my relationship with the Taylor family.”
“That’s correct,” Blaze said with a light smile.
“So as long as the Taylor family won’t help me, you have no worries, right?” Ethan chuckled.
“Hahaha!” Blaze couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You’re right, but unfortunately, you realize it too late,” Blaze said with a slight shake of his head.
Ethan snorted and said, “No, Blaze, I saw through your intentions long ago.”
“Oh? Then why did you still tell me all this?” Blaze suddenly became worried.
Did this kid lie about the Taylor family not helping…?
Ethan indifferently said, “It’s because I don’t care about the Lane Family at all. even without the support of the Taylor family, the Lane Family is nothing to me.”
Hearing this, Blaze’s face immediately showed a trace of anger.
“You’re really stubborn. No one has ever looked down on our Lane Family!” Blaze said coldly.
“Dad, stop talking nonsense with him! I must kill him!” Asher Lane stood up angrily, glaring at Ethan.
Blaze didn’t respond.
“Everything is prepared. If you have the courage, take them away,” Blaze said indifferently.
Ethan looked at the playful Blaze and couldn’t help but laugh.
Without a second thought or word, he picked up the contract and herbs.
“Thank you for the Lane Family’s gift. I will remember it,” Ethan said with a
After leaving those words, Ethan turned around and started to walk away.
But after taking just two steps, he was stopped by three men.
“Hahaha, you really are a fool. Do you think it’s so easy to take my Lane Family’s things?” Blaze couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Ethan looked at the three men in front of him and sneered, “Just because of these three trash, they want to stop me?”
“Ethan! You are too arrogant!” Asher Lane shouted furiously.
“These three men are all entrusted servants of my Lane Family, much stronger than me! Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!” Asher said coldly.
“Really? I don’t think so,” Ethan shook his head.
Blaze, not far away, said with a faint smile, “If you hadn’t taken the contract and herbs just now, I might have considered letting you leave the Lane Family.
Unfortunately, you’ve missed that chance.”
With that, Blaze sat back in his chair and casually waved his hand.
Immediately, the three men reached out to grab Ethan!
As Asher had said, the strength of these three was indeed above his own. Their casual grabs were fierce and brutal!
Ethan stared coldly at the three men, his internal spiritual power instantly surging to its peak!
With a wave of his hand, a huge force suddenly burst forth!
