Chapter 95: Does It Have Anything to Do with
Translator: 549690339
Hearing Emily Taylor’s words, Ethan Smith didn’t hesitate and nodded, “Then let’s go to the seaside and have some seafood?”
For Ethan Smith, seafood was a luxury. Growing up, he’d only heard others talk about it but never tasted it himself.
“Alright, let’s go have seafood, let’s go!” Emily Taylor stretched out her arm, clearly appearing like a young girl, very different from her usual image.
The two then arrived at the seaside.
This season, there were countless people enjoying themselves by the sea, with many taking photos and swimming in the nearby area.
Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor found a stall and sat down. Then, Emily Taylor pointed to the dishes on the menu and said, “We’ll have one of everything!” “We can’t eat that much!” Ethan Smith hurriedly waved his hands.
“Don’t worry, I think your appetite should be quite big now.” Emily Taylor winked.
That comment actually surprised Ethan Smith. It was true that ever since reaching the Fifth-Layer Qi Refining Stage, his appetite had grown significantly.
About ten minutes later, a dazzling array of seafood was served to them.
Crabs, shrimps, scallops, and more, too numerous to count.
These seafood dishes were just ordinary seafood, but in Ethan Smith’s eyes, they seemed like unattainable delicacies.
During the meal, Emily Taylor suddenly asked Ethan Smith, “Last night, was it Cato Cain who fought you?”
Ethan Smith furrowed his brows and nodded, “Yes.”
“Hmm… Not getting seriously injured after fighting Cato Cain means you’re not bad either!” Emily Taylor said with a cheerful smile.
Ethan Smith was very interested in these aristocratic family bodyguards, so since Emily Taylor brought it up, he followed the topic and asked, “Miss Taylor, what exactly is Cato Cain’s strength?”
Emily Taylor rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while before saying, “He should be an Inner Strength Grandmaster, or perhaps even stronger. I’m not sure.”
“Inner Strength Grandmaster?” Ethan Smith’s face changed involuntarily.
He had heard from Edward Green before that above Inner Strength Experts were Inner Strength Masters, and further above were Inner Strength
Greatmasters, while Inner Strength Grandmasters were even more powerful.
Such experts, even if they didn’t work as bodyguards for a prominent family, could still dominate a region and become a local boss.
“It seems like Cato Cain held back a lot…” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Emily Taylor stared at Ethan Smith and said, “Actually, many aristocratic families have a group of experts. It’s not just our Taylor family, Chuzzle has them too.”
“I had someone look into it before, Chuzzle has an Inner Strength Greatmaster, you need to be careful.” Emily Taylor gave him a serious reminder.
“Inner Strength Greatmaster…” Ethan Smith muttered under his breath.
This level was indeed beyond what he could currently compare himself to.
If an Inner Strength Greatmaster’s abilities were translated into cultivating levels, they would be at the Monastic Stage.
However, cultivation was ultimately superior to martial arts in terms of power.
Ethan Smith had absolute confidence that as long as he reached the
Foundation Establishment Stage, he could defeat an Inner Strength Greatmaster, even if their levels differed.
“But don’t worry too much. Inner Strength Greatmasters are extremely rare, and the entire Chuzzle might not even have ten of them,” Emily Taylor continued.
Ethan Smith nodded silently.
At this point, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, “Miss Taylor, do those elegantly dressed young men from Capital City also possess such abilities?”
When the topic was brought up, Emily Taylor’s face visibly changed.
She put down the chopsticks in her hand and pondered, “It depends on the situation. Some families value martial arts, so their children are naturally talented. Others don’t, so they tend to raise a group of bodyguards.”
Ethan Smith hurriedly asked, “Then what is the strongest ability among those elegantly dressed young men?”
Emily Taylor thought for a moment and said, “There are a few geniuses in the Capital City… They seem to be close to becoming Grandmasters.”
Ethan Smith’s face couldn’t help but change slightly.
Grandmaster! That was Cato Cain’s strength!
Ethan Smith knew deep inside that he was far behind Cato Cain as things stood now!
“But, reaching the Grandmaster Realm within a year is already very impressive, enough to make the Taylor family take you seriously!” Emily Taylor patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder, putting on an affirming expression.
However, Ethan Smith didn’t think the same way. He took a deep breath and said, “I want to surpass them within a year!” “Pfft!” Emily Taylor gave Ethan Smith a blank look.
“It’s not that I don’t believe in you, but it’s simply impossible.” Emily Taylor winked.
Emily Taylor then quietly leaned in close to Ethan Smith’s ear and whispered, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If you don’t make any progress after a year, I… I’ll elope with you!”
After saying that, Emily Taylor’s face turned red all the way to her neck.
Even Emily Taylor herself couldn’t believe she said those words!
As a girl from a prominent family, how could she say such embarrassing words…
“So embarrassing!” Emily Taylor covered her face, muttering to herself.
Ethan Smith just felt an incomparable warmth in his heart.
He looked at Emily Taylor seriously and said, “Miss Taylor, I promised you that
I’d go to Capital City to propose in a bright and upright manner. I’ll make the
Taylor family recognize me and take you to see the most beautiful scenery!”
“Ah, let’s eat, let’s eat.” Emily Taylor quickly lowered her head in embarrassment.
“I never thought Miss Taylor would have such a girly side.” Ethan Smith said teasingly.
Emily Taylor glared at Ethan Smith, “If you dare say that again, be careful or I’ll beat you up!”
After saying that, Emily Taylor clenched her small fist and started punching Ethan Smith.
“Ouch…” Ethan Smith pretended to be in pain, covering his wounds.
“Ah!” Emily Taylor’s face changed. She anxiously said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I forgot you were injured. I’ll find a doctor right away…”
At that moment, Ethan Smith suddenly burst into laughter, “Just kidding!”
“Fine, you’ve grown bold now!” Emily Taylor clenched her little fist and started playfully fighting with Ethan Smith again.
As the two were playing around, a few black-clad bodyguards walked over from not far away.
In their midst was an elegantly dressed woman wearing sunglasses with a
mask covering her face.
Although she was almost completely covered, it was clear that she was exceptionally beautiful.
The bodyguards walked up to Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor and said with a degree of overbearing authority, “We’re about to take pictures, so we’re commandeering this place. Please move elsewhere to eat.”
Hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.
Emily Taylor’s demeanor switched back to her usual cold state even faster.
“How do your pictures and us eating here have any relation?” Emily Taylor looked at the bodyguard, her voice tinged with coldness..
