Ethan Smith fainted again, as if he were overwhelmed by happiness.
For a moment, Emily Taylor didn’t have the heart to leave.
She wanted to stay and accompany Ethan Smith.
But if she stayed, Ethan Smith’s growth would almost come to a halt.
“Miss, we really should be going now.” A voice came from outside the door, urging them to leave.
Emily Taylor slowly nodded, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Every few steps, she would turn around to look back.
But this time, Ethan Smith didn’t wake up.
Emily Taylor returned to the Capital City, and the Martial Arts Association was still torturing Gage Mcbride mercilessly.
Gage Mcbride didn’t know how many times he had passed out, but each time, Cato Cain would forcefully rouse him.
It wasn’t until the evening that Cato Cain received a call from Emily Taylor.
“I don’t want to see him again.” Emily Taylor said coldly on the phone.
“Understood, Miss Taylor.” Cato Cain said, full grasp of what she meant.
After ending the call, he looked at Gage Mcbride in front of him.
“Gage Mcbride, you are freed now.” A murderous spirit burst from Cato Cain.
Facing death, Gage Mcbride felt surprisingly unafraid.
This kind of torment, worse than death, made him wish he could die sooner.
Gage Mcbride was killed, not even his corpse was left behind.
Within one day, Chuzzle seemed to have undergone a drastic change. All the prisoners in the Martial Arts Association heard the news. “Great! I knew that Mr. Smith wouldn’t die!”
“Haha, have you heard? Gage Mcbride was supposedly dismissed.”
“That son of a bitch, Gage Mcbride, has been abusing his power and oppressing others all these years, he should have been dismissed long ago!” Jubilant cheers echoed throughout the cells.
On the other side, Conrad Schroeder’s face was extremely gloomy.
He was deeply terrified.
He was genuinely afraid of the aristocratic family of the Capital City.
“Master, I truly didn’t know that the Taylor family would take action…” Uncle Shane knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly.
A ruthless light flashed in Conrad Schroeder’s eyes.
He stood up angrily and scolded, “It’s because of you, Tristin Schroeder died!
The Schroeder family is now in a state of irreversible crisis!”
Uncle Shane shuddered, he said in agony, “It’s my fault, it’s my fault, master, please spare me for the sake of all the years I have served you…”
Nearly everyone in the Schroeder family begged for mercy on Uncle Shane’s behalf.
Conrad Schroeder was silent for a moment, glanced at Uncle Shane, and waved his hand, “Fine. I’ve already lost one son, I don’t want to lose anyone anymore.”
“Thank you, master! Thank you, master!” Uncle Shane was immensely relieved, he bowed profusely.
Time swiftly slipped into the evening.
But Conrad Schroeder couldn’t sleep.
The dilemma the Schroeder Family was facing gave Conrad Schroeder a severe headache.
“Master, what should we do now?” Uncle Shane said, a tremble in his voice.
Conrad Schroeder sighed, muttered, “Given Ethan Smith’s talent, he will eventually become a tycoon. Since we couldn’t kill him, we must improve our relationship with him as soon as possible.”
Rather than worrying about the Taylor family, Conrad Schroeder feared the future Ethan Smith even more!
“Improve our relationship?” Uncle Shane was stunned.
“But…will Ethan Smith agree?” Uncle Shane was somewhat uneasy.
From what he knew about Ethan Smith, this guy would not let things go easily.
Conrad Schroeder helplessly waved his hand and said, “We can only amputate to save our life. No matter what he demands, we must agree.”
The Schroeder family’s submission undoubtedly indicated a change in the structure of Chuzzle.
Probably from this point on, the Schroeder family would no longer be the dominant force in Chuzzle.
Ethan Smith woke up in a daze from his sickbed.
Sitting in front of him were the top-tier caregivers from Shiglance City.
Seeing that Ethan Smith had awakened, they immediately stood up and asked,
“Mr. Smith, how do you feel now?”
Ethan Smith didn’t answer. His eyes scanned the room anxiously, “Where is Emily? Where is she?”
The caregivers exchanged glances and respectfully replied, “Miss Taylor has left; she made a remark for you.”
“A remark?” Ethan Smith’s eyes lighted up, signaling them to continue.
“Miss Taylor said she’d be waiting for you in Capital City,” the caregiver replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith felt a surge of energy coursing through his body.
Belief may be the most potent force.
It can support anyone through their darkest times.
Just then, there was a sudden disturbance outside the door.
Turning his head, he saw Conrad Schroeder and Uncle Shane standing at the doorway, bearing gifts.
Ethan Smith squinted his eyes, “What are you here for?” he asked coldly. Conrad Schroeder quickly walked to Ethan Smith’s side, waving a hand to send the caregivers away.
As soon as the caregivers left, Conrad Schroeder kneeled down abruptly.
“Mr. Smith, I apologize for not recognizing your true stature. Please forgive my offense,” Conrad Schroeder said respectfully.
This left Ethan Smith somewhat taken aback.
He eyed Conrad Schroeder, asking in a half-mocking manner, “Conrad
Schroeder, what scheme are you up to this time?”
Conrad Schroeder genuinely terrified, hurriedly said, “I dare not, Mr. Smith. I sincerely want to apologize to you.”
“Apologize?” Ethan Smith mocked.
He sat up from his sickbed, saying coldly, “Now you know to seek peace? What happened to your arrogant demeanor from before?”
Conrad Schroeder inwardly lamented. He had no idea that Ethan Smith had a connection with the Taylor family!
If he had known, Conrad Schroeder would have never offended Ethan Smith!
“Mr. Smith, I underestimated your greatness. Please forgive me…”, Conrad Schroeder sighed.
Looking at Conrad Schroeder before him, Ethan Smith squinted his eyes. After some thought, he smirked, “I decline.”
Conrad Schroeder’s face subtly changed and, gritting his teeth, he said, ‘Mr.
Smith, from today onwards, the Schroeder Family is willing to submit to you!”
Ethan Smith was taken aback.
This had entirely exceeded Ethan Smith’s expectations!
Did Conrad Schroeder willingly submit to him?
“Are you afraid of the Taylor family, or are you afraid of me?” Ethan Smith inquired with a frown.
Conrad Schroeder was stumped and didn’t know how to reply.
“Answer truthfully,” Ethan Smith ordered.
Conrad Schroeder raised his head, and after some thought, he said, “Both. But primarily, I see potential in you.”
Conrad Schroeder’s thinking was straightforward. If Ethan Smith couldn’t be killed, it’s better to establish a relationship with him sooner rather than later.
Considering Ethan Smith’s potential, he would undoubtedly have a bright future. By then, the Schroeder Family may not be limited to a small Chuzzle!
After some thought, Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Alright, Conrad scnroeaerr, 1 nope you won’t narDor tnougnts or reDe1110n. ur else…” “I dare not!” Conrad Schroeder promptly bowed in respect!
Ethan Smith indeed had plans to exploit a faction.
With his current strength, his future practices would inevitably become more challenging.
Plus, the idea of breaking into Capital City alone was indeed impractical. It’s spoken about as submission, but essentially, it’s mutual utilization.
Ethan Smith helped Conrad Schroeder up, and said gravely, “Let’s go. Since you’ve submitted to me, I will save your son.”
Mentioning Tristin Schroeder, a trace of sorrow flashed across Conrad Schroeder’s eyes.
“No… no need.” Conrad Schroeder waved his hand.
Ethan Smith frowned, puzzled, “You don’t trust me?”
“Mr. Smith, the young master… he’s… already dead!” Uncle Shane sighed..
