Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 544
Chapter 544: Chapter 544: The Ultimate Martial Arts_1
Cory Blair snorted coldly, stepping back with his hands behind him, saying, “Reilly, this is your last chance. If you can’t handle it, hand it over to Bryce.”
After throwing down these words, Cory Blair turned and walked out.
Reilly’s face turned ugly to the extreme. He couldn’t help but clench his fists and grit his teeth.
He had no choice but to blame Ethan Smith for his father’s indifference.
“Ethan Smith… I will make sure you die!” Reilly said coldly.
…
In the blink of an eye, Ethan Smith had been unconscious for an entire week.
Thankfully, the Pavilion Master had taken good care of him, and Ethan’s body was mostly unharmed.
Finally, at noon on this day, Ethan woke up in a daze.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Ethan was a bit confused for a moment.
“Awake?” The Pavilion Master’s voice came from one side.
Ethan suddenly came to his senses. He hurriedly got up and said, “Lord Pavilion Master, where’s Emily? Where is she now?”
The Pavilion Master blew on the medicinal soup in her hand, saying, “Drink your medicine first.”
Ethan was not in the mood for medicine, and he anxiously said, “Lord Pavilion Master, I must see Emily immediately..”
The Pavilion Master was silent for a moment, then she put the medicine aside and said, “She is currently at the Capital City Martial Arts Association. As for the exact reason, I am not clear.”
Only then did Ethan remember everything he had heard before he fell unconscious.
His face turned pale, and he hurriedly sat up on the bed.
“How so? Are you going there to die?” The Pavilion Master said coldly.
Ethan gritted his teeth and said, “Even if I’m going to die, I can’t just sit idly by.”
“You should worry about yourself first.” The Pavilion Master said coldly.
“Emily Taylor is the Miss of the Taylor family, and her situation is better than yours.”
“Right now, you should be worried about how you’re going to face the wrath of the Blair and Taylor families.”
Ethan was momentarily speechless.
Although that was what he said, it was impossible not to worry.
“Don’t worry, I will ask someone to inquire about the Capital City Martial Arts Association.” The Pavilion Master said.
Ethan let out a breath he had been holding and nodded, saying, “Thank you, Lord Pavilion Master.”
Even though Ethan was anxious, he knew very well that the Capital City Martial Arts Association was a place even more dangerous than a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den.
With his own strength, he couldn’t possibly take anyone away.
If it weren’t for the previous fight with Dexter Blair, he might have already been dead.
Just the Taylor and Blair families alone would have cost him his life.
Ethan sat up from the bed.
He moved his body, and aside from being a bit stiff, he didn’t feel too uncomfortable.
“Let’s go, follow me, Mr. Harris is waiting for you.” The Pavilion Master said.
“Jackson Harris?” Ethan thought of this senior.
If it hadn’t been for his intervention, the situation would have been in dire straits.
Ethan followed behind the Pavilion Master and walked towards the back hill of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
At this time, Jackson Harris was sitting on the hill with his eyes closed and recuperating.
For the past few days, Jackson Harris had been sitting on the hill almost every day, just sitting there.
“Mr. Harris.” The Pavilion Master’s voice came from behind.
Jackson Harris slowly turned his head and shook it jokingly, saying, “Pavilion Master, you and I are not much different in age, calling me Mr. Harris is not appropriate.”
At this, Martha Evans just smiled and said nothing.
Even though the two were about the same age, their appearances made them look like grandfather and grandson.
“Greetings to Senior Harris.” Ethan stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Jackson Harris nodded and said, “You’re awake, sit.”
Ethan sat down opposite Jackson Harris.
“Thank you, Mr. Harris, for your righteousness.” Ethan bowed.
Jackson Harris did not respond to this, but asked, “What are your plans now?”
Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly said, “I need to save Emily first.”
“She’s locked up in the Capital City Martial Arts Association now; what if you can’t get her out?” Jackson Harris continued.
Ethan didn’t hesitate to answer coldly, “Then I’ll tear down the Capital City Martial Arts Association!”
Upon hearing this, Jackson Harris couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laugh.
“Back then, I was just like you, born low and determined to change everything,” Jackson Harris said slowly. “In my eyes, the Capital City Martial Arts Association and the Capital City aristocratic families were not worth mentioning.”
Ethan furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled, and said, “Senior Harris, do you have a grudge against the Capital City Martial Arts Association as well?”
Jackson Harris looked at Ethan and said, “It’s not just a grudge. I’ve killed at least ten Marquis-level martial artists from the Capital City Martial Arts Association. Back then, I also wanted to destroy the Capital City Martial Arts Association!”
“So… why did you choose to retreat later?” Ethan was extremely puzzled.
Jackson Harris, known as the strongest man in Pyro, could have at least forced the Capital City Martial Arts Association to bow down with his abilities, right?
Jackson Harris looked into the distance as if recalling a past experience.
After a moment, he said quietly, “I later realized that I couldn’t change anything.”
Ethan’s face changed, and he quickly asked, “So even you couldn’t do anything against the Capital City Martial Arts Association?”
“Yes,” Jackson Harris did not conceal anything.
“The deeper you get, the more you realize how terrifying the Capital City Martial Arts Association is, and how deep the waters of the Capital City are.”
“That’s why, in the end, I chose to escape and hide.”
Ethan’s face turned even more unsightly, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
Why was Jackson Harris so powerless?
“Don’t underestimate the strength of the Capital City aristocratic families and the Capital City Martial Arts Association,” Jackson Harris said. “They have stood unshaken for many years, and have become the highest sanctuary in the hearts of martial artists. Everyone considers joining the Martial Arts Association as an honor.”
“This has also led to the most outstanding group of geniuses from all around serving the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”
At this point, the Pavilion Master on the side also nodded, saying, “Mr. Harris is right, the strength of the Capital City Martial Arts Association is even greater than you can imagine.”
“In addition to the cultivation resources you can see in the world, they also have an extremely strong foundation.”
Ethan remained silent, listening to the opinions of the two seniors.
“Ethan, let me ask you – in your impression, what is the strongest realm?” Jackson Harris asked.
Ethan said solemnly, “I have heard of the Martial Saint Realm, but I’ve heard that Marquis-level is now the peak.”
Jackson Harris nodded, “Indeed, the Marquis is the current peak.”
“However… this conclusion does not apply to the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”
Ethan’s face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly asked, “Could it be… the Capital City Martial Arts Association has Martial Saints?”
Jackson Harris did not answer, but only said, “You will understand in the future.”
Ethan’s face turned extremely ugly, and according to Jackson Harris’s words, did he have no hope at all?
If even Jackson Harris was so negative, what about Ethan?
“Don’t worry too much,” Jackson Harris suddenly changed the topic.
He looked at Ethan and said, “Your future achievements will definitely surpass mine. Perhaps, you will be the one to break the deadlock.”
