Both of them continued to sneer, not taking Ethan Smith seriously at all.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, “I did give you a chance. If you want to seek revenge for Benjamin Hill, I’ll be waiting for you at any time.” Having said that, Ethan Smith turned around to leave.
“Stop!” At that moment, Ashton Nicholson shouted loudly.
He looked coldly at Ethan Smith and said, “You came to provoke me and now you want to leave just like that?”
Ethan Smith laughed, “Then what do you want to do?”
Ashton Nicholson snorted coldly and said, “Hiding behind women and acting like a hero! I want to know how capable you actually are!”
As soon as the words fell, Ethan Smith felt a strong aura, forcing itself towards him!
For an instant, it felt as if there were two big mountains pressing down on Ethan Smith’s shoulders!
Ashton Nicholson looked at Ethan Smith and sneered continuously. His aura became more powerful, trying to bring Ethan Smith down a peg.
Ethan Smith, who was standing in front of him, slightly frowned.
At that moment, his body suddenly trembled slightly, and a terrifying force immediately pressed towards Ashton Nicholson!
“Bang!”
Ashton Nicholson immediately retreated several steps, almost falling to the ground!
This couldn’t help but surprise Ashton Nicholson. All his aura was actually easily dissolved by Ethan Smith!
“What’s wrong?” Asher Lane furrowed his brows and asked.
Ashton Nicholson’s face became a bit serious, but he didn’t say anything.
“If you want to cause trouble, I’ll be waiting.” Ethan Smith looked at Ashton Nicholson and said coldly.
After dropping this sentence, Ethan Smith turned around and left.
Edward Green, who was at the side, watched with his heart pounding. Following behind Ethan Smith, cold sweat was dripping from Edward Green’s forehead.
It wasn’t until he had walked far away that Edward Green wiped off the sweat and said, “Mr. Smith, Asher Lane was already hard enough to deal with, but why did you provoke Ashton Nicholson…”
Ethan Smith stopped in his tracks.
He turned around to look at Edward Green and shook his head, “I don’t know why, but when I face these two people, I always feel like they’re insignificant.”
It was a strange feeling. As Inner Strength Masters, they should be more powerful than Ethan Smith.
But when Ethan Smith stood in front of these two people, he felt as if he could easily crush them.
Not far away, Ashton Nicholson’s face was extremely ugly.
He suddenly had an uneasy premonition in his heart.
“Ashton, what’s wrong?” Asher Lane asked suspiciously.
Ashton Nicholson took a deep breath, stared at Asher Lane, and said with a serious face, “Younger Lord of Lane Family, be careful later; this Ethan Smith might not be as simple as he appears.”
Asher Lane was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
“Ashton, don’t joke around. He’s just a Ninth-rank Inner Strength. There’s a world of difference between him and us! Killing him would be a breeze!” Asher Lane didn’t take Ashton Nicholson’s words seriously at all.
Ashton Nicholson wanted to say something, but Asher Lane waved his hand to interrupt him.
“Ashton, just wait and see how I avenge you,” Asher Lane sneered.
Seeing the situation, Ashton Nicholson didn’t say anything more.
“Maybe it was just an illusion.” Ashton Nicholson silently comforted himself in his heart.
As time flew by, Asher Lane didn’t even consider Ethan Smith as an opponent, so he sat there eating, drinking, and having fun.
Ethan Smith, on the other hand, didn’t pay any attention to Asher Lane either. All his thoughts were focused on the Water Dragon Cave.
In this short period, Ethan Smith wandered around the Water Dragon Cave several times.
“The competition is about to start; what are you doing just walking around in circles?” Violet Miller couldn’t help but grumble.
Ethan Smith didn’t respond, his eyes still fixed on the Water Dragon Cave.’Whose property is this Water Dragon Cave?” Ethan Smith asked with a frown.
Violet Miller was taken aback and muttered, “How would I know? Besides, we’re at a life-or-death situation now, and you’re still wondering about this?
We better think of a strategy fast.”
“It seems to be owned by the Lane Family,” Selina Burton suddenly whispered.
“The Lane Family’s?” Ethan Smith looked at Selina Burton and continued, “Are you sure?”
Selina Burton thought for a moment while holding her chin, then clapped her hands and said, “Yes, it’s the Lane Family’s property! I’ve seen it on the news before!”
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith slightly squinted his eyes.
He looked at Water Dragon Cave and murmured softly, “We have to find a way to deceive them and take possession of the Water Dragon Cave.”
“Time’s up!”
At this moment, Asher Lane suddenly shouted from a distance!
As he shouted, the scene quieted down.
The gazes of almost everyone gathered on Asher Lane.
“Ethan Smith, it’s time for you to meet your doom,” Asher Lane grinned.
Ethan Smith didn’t say anything and walked straight towards Asher Lane.
“Mr. Smith, be careful!” Edward Green exclaimed with a worried expression.
The two quickly arrived at the center of Water Dragon Cave, and for an instant, a strong light shone upon them.
Asher Lane looked down arrogantly and coldly said, “Kid, you still have time to regret.”
But Ethan Smith just smirked, “It’s you who doesn’t have time for regrets.”
Asher Lane narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, “In all my life, you’re the most arrogant person I’ve ever met!”
“Younger Lord of Lane Family, finish it quickly, there’s still a victory banquet prepared for you!” Someone yelled from the stands.
Asher Lane glanced in that direction, then sneered, “Ethan Smith, did you hear that? To save time, I’ve decided to finish this quickly!”
After saying this, Asher Lane’s aura suddenly soared to its peak in an instant!
A terrifying burst of Inner Strength was bearing down on Ethan Smith!
“This is the prowess of an Inner Strength Master! ” Asher Lane looked at Ethan Smith smugly, as if he wanted to see fear and terror on his face.
However, Ethan Smith’s expression remained calm. Not only did he not react, but he even seemed to want to laugh.
“It seems my prediction was correct,” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.
“Inner Strength and spiritual power… they are indeed not on the same level. The so-called Inner Strength Masters are pitifully weak,” Ethan Smith muttered softly.
“I’ll let you make the first move,” Asher Lane gestured to Ethan Smith.
“Wait,” Ethan Smith suddenly said at this moment.
Asher Lane sneered, “What, scared?” Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “No, I want to change our wager.” “Oh?” Asher Lane seemed very interested.
Ethan Smith said, “If you win, I’ll give you a piece of Knotweed and another herb with a similar potency.”
“Oh? Are you serious?” Asher Lane’s eyes lit up instantly.
In his view, the Taylor family was backing Ethan Smith, so they must have no shortage of herbs!
If he could get another piece, it would be a fortune for Asher Lane!
“If I win, you kneel and apologize to Edward Green, give me a hundred-year Medicine King, and in addition, I want something else,” Ethan Smith said solemnly.
Asher Lane raised an eyebrow and said, “Just say it; I won’t lose anyway.” Ethan Smith pointed at Water Dragon Cave and said, “Give this place to me.”
Asher Lane frowned deeply, as Water Dragon Cave provided the Lane Family with quite an income every year. It wasn’t easy for him to just give it away.
But upon thinking about it, Asher Lane couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright,” Asher Lane nodded. In his view, he wouldn’t lose at all. Ethan Smith was simply giving away herbs to him..
