Facing Ethan Smith’s probing, Arturo Hayes replied with a faint smile, “Mr. Smith can interpret it as such, but we really don’t need to make it this complicated.”
“As long as you agree to join us, we will definitely provide you with ample resources,” Arturo Hayes enticed earnestly.
Ethan Smith retorted coldly, “What, can’t you understand my words?”
Seeing Ethan Smith’s adamant attitude, Arturo Hayes realized that it was virtually impossible to win him over.
Thus, he replied with a faint smile, “Alright, Ethan Smith, let’s pretend we never came here.”
After dropping these words, Arturo Hayes left with the young man.
But at that moment, Arturo Hayes suddenly felt a rush of cold on his back!
“No good!” Arturo Hayes thought to himself, attempting to turn around, but he was too late!
Ethan Smith’s fist landed solidly on his back!
This punch shattered Arturo Hayes’s bones, and his body was flung aside!
“Ethan Smith, how dare you hit us?” The young man shouted immediately.
Ethan Smith quickly landed a palm, smashing the young man’s head immediately.
Meanwhile, Arturo Hayes managed to get up from a distance.
He squinted and threatened, “Ethan Smith, if you kill us, the Halcroen Sect will never let you go!”
Ethan Smith sneered, “Since we are enemies now, why should I let you go?
Arturo Hayes’s face changed drastically!
Regret filled his heart; if he knew it would come to this, he wouldn’t have spoken so definitively!
Ethan Smith advanced towards Arturo Hayes step by step, with an overwhelming murderous spirit bearing down!
Arturo Hayes was a Grandmaster Peak, and his power could not be underestimated.
Facing the murderous intent of Ethan Smith, Arturo Hayes was not sitting idly by, waiting for death.
He spat out silver needles, which erupted in a moment!
Ethan Smith frowned slightly. These silver needles were so tiny that he wasn’t able to guard against them.
A silver needle lodged itself into Ethan Smith’s forehead.
A drop of fresh blood flowed down his nose.
Ethan Smith touched the blood on his nose, and his face darkened further.
Arturo Hayes then laughed heartily, “Ethan Smith, you’ve been hit by my Halcroen’s Divine Needle. No doubt about it, you will die within three days! If you apologize now and hand over the formula for the Nine Transformation Pill, I might give you the antidote!”
Ethan Smith squinted as he replied, “Three days, huh? That’s more than enough time for me to kill you a thousand times over.”
Arturo Hayes became frantic, saying in horror, “Ethan Smith, you…don’t you want to live?”
“I would rather die than be threatened by someone like you,” Ethan Smith responded coldly.
He raised his hand and landed it directly on Arturo Hayes’s head.
“Heaven Swallowing Skill!”
After a roar, Arturo Hayes’s face contorted in pain.
Pain made him howl again and again!
In a short while, Arturo Hayes turned into a dried corpse and fell to the ground, lifeless.
Ethan Smith looked at Arturo Hayes’s corpse, grabbed it and then threw it into the yard.
When he got home, Ethan Smith discovered, to his astonishment, that Edward Green was lying on the bed on the brink of death.
“Edward Green!” Ethan Smith immediately became anxious.
Rushing over, he checked the injuries.
Fortunately, Edward Green had only fainted and hadn’t suffered any fatal injuries.
After Ethan Smith transferred some of his qi into him, Edward Green slowly opened his eyes.
“Mr. Smith, earlier there was this old man…”
“I know, just rest now,” Ethan Smith interrupted Edward Green.
He then turned and went back to his room to sit cross-legged in meditation.
Regarding the Halcroen’s Divine Needle that Arturo Hayes shot, Ethan Smith was a bit worried.
He didn’t dare to dawdle, immediately shutting his eyes and examining his divine sense.
Among his golden divine sense, he saw a tiny black spot.
This black dot was slowly spreading at a snail’s pace.
“This isn’t good,” Ethan Smith murmured in a low voice.
He tried manipulating his divine sense to erase this black dot, yet found it was as though the dot was embedded into his divine sense — it simply could not be erased.
This left Ethan Smith feeling extremely unsettled. Although he didn’t know what consequences this black dot would bring, if left untreated, it would certainly become a problem in the future.
That night, Ethan had exhausted every possible method but still couldn’t erase the black dot. He could only stabilize it temporarily so it wouldn’t spread within his divine sense.
By the time he awoke, it was already tomorrow.
“I was careless, unexpectedly caught off guard by him,” Ethan Smith took a deep breath, a trace of seriousness flashing across his face.
By now, the sky was already bright.
As for the time agreed upon by Adonis Williams, it’s just the last day that remains.
“William Richardson should be taking me to the battle zone today,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
He didn’t have much time left, so Ethan Smith quickly started to arrange the formation.
He could feel the power left behind by the Earth Fiend Valley Ancestor was dissipating and disappearing.
In no time, Ethan Smith’s facade will be stripped away.
This formation wasn’t difficult for Ethan Smith, but this place was a land of harmony, and did not have any dark energy to support it.
Upon thinking, Ethan Smith suddenly thought of the stone statues!
The stone statues contained endless dark energy. If used as the array eyes, this problem would naturally be solved!
“I’m a f*cking genius!” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
Of course, using the stone statue as the array eye also came with risks.
If it were to be discovered, it could possibly be destroyed.
If so, the formation would collapse instantly too.
Ethan Smith found a rather concealed place and put the stone statue in there.
Upon checking a few times and making sure there were no problems, Ethan Smith finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, William Richardson and Clare Richardson arrived at the door.
As soon as she got out of the car, Clare excitedly ran towards Ethan Smith.
“Ethan, I need your help with something important. You must help me no matter what!” Clare Richardson appeared rather urgent.
Ethan Smith helplessly asked, “What now?”
Clare said, “It’s that Anthony Hansen from last night. He says he wants to go on a stroll with you.”
“Stroll?” Ethan Smith frowned.
Without a second thought, he refused, “I’m not interested.”
“Oh, if you don’t go, he will surely make life difficult for me.” Clare murmured quietly.
Ethan Smith scoffed, “I have a lot to deal with, don’t have time to entertain you kids.”
William Richardson also scolded from the side, “Clare, stop making a fuss, I have some important business to discuss with your brother Ethan today.” Although she appeared begrudged, Clare obediently went off to one side.
William Richardson walked over; he pointed at the corpse in the yard and asked with a furrowed eyebrow, “What happened here?”
Ethan Smith said, “This man is from the Halcroen Sect, he attacked me last night, so I killed him.”
“Halcroen Sect?!” William’s face slightly changed, a serious look surfacing on his face.
“William, you know about the Halcroen Sect?” Ethan Smith asked.
William nodded slightly, pondering, “Years ago, the Halcroen Sect was causing havoc under the banner of Halcroen, wreaking havoc, and amassing a large force. It’s said that there were people surpassing the Grandmaster Position within. ”
“Only a few years ago, after Ignacio Burke took action, did they get chased out of Pyro territory.”
“Overseas, they flourished unopposed with countless experts under their control.”
Ethan Smith nodded, having a rough understanding of the Halcroen Sect. “How did you end up provoking such an organization?” William Richardson asked, frowning..
