54 Chapter 54: O'Connor Family Martial Arts School
Alan endured a slap from Nola O'Connor without speaking a word, but his hand still tightly gripped her wrist.
Nola couldn't break free, so she angrily looked back at her bodyguard.
"Ronan Russell, beat him up for me!" Nola yelled.
The man called Ronan took a step forward and slapped Alan's wrist.
With a "pa" sound, Alan's wrist felt acute pain, and his hand involuntarily let go.
"Alan, so, after following Ray Walters, you don't even know your own last name, huh?" Ronan sneered.
Alan's face looked a bit unsightly, and he forced a bitter smile. "Senior Brother, it's true that Miss O'Connor was in the wrong here…"
"I don't care who is right and who is wrong, Master has ordered me to protect her!" Ronan snorted coldly.
"Stop wasting time, beat him up for me!" Nola, like an angry lion, kept shouting and yelling.
Ethan Smith's face grew colder.
He coldly looked at Nola and said, "You're so young, yet so arrogant. How did your parents educate you?"
"You dare to speak about my parents?" Nola's eyes widened.
"Ronan Russell, beat him up for me!" Nola stomped her foot, angrily saying.
Ronan took a step forward, sizing Ethan Smith up, and spoke indifferently, "Kid, hurry up and return the Angelica dahurica to our Miss, then bow and apologize to her, and I can spare you."
Ethan scoffed, "Do you qualify for that?"
Ronan's face changed, and he immediately shouted, "It seems you're seeking death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronan aimed his fist at Ethan!
It must be said that Ronan was indeed more powerful than Alan, but if he couldn't even beat Edward Green, how could he be Ethan's match?
Without looking, Ethan kicked Ronan's lower abdomen.
Before Ronan's fist could even hit Ethan, his body "whooshed" and flew out, violently crashing to the ground!
Fresh blood spurted out!
Seeing this scene, Nola did not feel any remorse, but clenched her fist and took a swing at Ethan.
"You're finished, you dare to mess with me, my dad will definitely beat you to death!" Nola used both fists and feet, constantly attacking Ethan.
Ethan grew even more impatient. He felt like knocking out this unruly girl with a slap.
However, Ethan, who had been traditionally educated since childhood, couldn't bring himself to hit a woman.
Fortunately, Alan promptly pulled Nola aside.
Nola, perhaps tired from hitting, stood not far away pointing at Ethan, saying, "You wait, my dad will definitely not spare you!"
Ethan didn't bother to waste words with her, and just ignored her.
After getting in the car, Alan couldn't help but feel guilty, saying, "Mr. Smith, I'm really sorry…"
Ethan waved his hand, "What does that have to do with you? On the other hand, I'm a little doubtful of your master. Is he truly deserving of his reputation, raising such a daughter? I guess he's not much of a person himself."
Upon hearing this, Alan quickly explained, "My master is actually a good person. It's just that… years ago, he had a martial arts contest with someone and ended up with an enemy who killed my Mistress. So, he has always felt guilty towards Nola and doted on her excessively…"
Hearing this, Ethan didn't comment.
Ray Walters sent Ethan back to the Longyue Community. Before leaving, Alan asserted, "Mr. Smith, rest assured, I'll definitely explain the whole story to my master."
He didn't really care. If Thomas O'Connor dared to come to his door, Ethan wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
After Ray left, Ethan couldn't wait to take out the Angelica dahurica.
Although the Angelica's appearance wasn't great, its medicinal fragrance was rich. After a rough estimate, this Angelica was about ten years old, making it the oldest herb Ethan had ever seen.
Ethan didn't waste any time, preparing to refine the Qi Gathering Pill using the Angelica dahurica.
For those in the Qi Refining Stage, the Qi Gathering Pill was a valuable treasure, capable of breaking through a single stage with just one pill!
"This Angelica dahurica should be able to refine a Qi Gathering Pill," Ethan Smith thought to himself.
Then, Ethan cut the Angelica dahurica and put it into the sand pot.
Since Ethan hadn't yet produced the spiritual fire, he had to rely on natural fire.
In the sand pot, Ethan raised his fingers and injected the qi into it, using his qi as a guide to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.
After more than two hours, the qi in Ethan's body was nearly exhausted.
Finally, with a loud boom, the sand pot suddenly shattered!
Two peanut-sized Pills lay quietly among the shards of the sand pot.
"I actually refined two of them?" Looking at the two Qi Gathering Pills, Ethan was extremely excited!
He thought he could only refine one, but unexpectedly, he got two in the end! It completely exceeded Ethan's estimate!
"Just a ten-year-old Pill can refine two Qi Gathering Pills, what about twenty, thirty, or even a hundred years... How many would that be?"
The more Ethan thought about it, the more excited he became! As long as he had enough herbs, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage wouldn't be difficult!
After that, Ethan didn't waste any time and swallowed the two Qi Gathering Pills directly.
As the number one expert in River City, Thomas O'Connor was renowned throughout the entire River City.
Many rich young men would come to him as disciples, so his connections grew stronger.
"Dad, I don't care, you have to teach him a lesson no matter what!" Nola O'Connor stomped her foot, looking angrily at her father.
Thomas felt a headache coming on and said, "Did you cause trouble again?"
During this period, the O'Connor Family Martial Arts School and Gutierrez Family Martial Arts School had arranged a competition. Although it was a friendly match between disciples, it still reflected the strength of a martial arts school.
Thomas had many disciples, but rumors were that the Gutierrez family had invited a powerful helper, so Thomas was worried about the match.
If they lost, the reputation of the O'Connor Family Martial Arts School might plummet.
For the O'Connor Family, this was undoubtedly a disaster.
"It's not my fault! He's the one who came looking for trouble!" Nola complained angrily.
Thomas looked at Ronan Russell beside him and said sternly, "What happened? Didn't I ask you to protect Bailey?"
Ronan said apologetically, "Master, that guy knows some martial arts, I'm no match for him..."
"You useless trash, you were knocked out with just one kick!" Nola couldn't help but curse disdainfully.
Hearing this, Thomas was shocked and said, "Is there such a skilled person in River City?"
Ronan was his most outstanding disciple! To be knocked out with just a kick?
Ronan reluctantly said, "Master, it's... it's my fault for underestimating him."
"A useless person is always useless, don't explain more!" Nola crossed her arms and said dissatisfiedly.
But Thomas was already thinking of other ideas.
If he could invite that person to help, wouldn't the O'Connor family's predicament be easily solved?
However, Thomas sighed slightly.
His daughter had just offended the person, so how could they help?
"Also, that Alan helped the guy!" At this moment, Nola angrily said.
Hearing this, Thomas suddenly became a little excited and said, "You mean... Alan knows him?"
"Yes, he even helped him! Dad, you must teach Alan a lesson!" Nola said indignantly.
Thomas was suddenly overjoyed, and he laughed loudly, "It seems the heavens are helping our family! Hurry, call Alan!"
"Alright, I'll call him over and teach him a lesson!" Nola thought that Thomas was going to help her get revenge, so she excitedly shouted.
