Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 564: Chapter 564: It’s Too Late to Want to Negotiate Now!

Hearing Ethan Smith’s roar, everyone couldn’t help but shudder!

Ethan Smith’s figure got closer and closer, and the feeling of waiting for death was unbearable.

Inside the Great Hall, some people even wet their pants on the spot.

Soon, Ethan Smith walked in.

Seeing Ethan Smith for an instant, everyone involuntarily took a step back.

“Where is Joshua Hess?” Ethan Smith scanned the crowd and asked coldly.

“Sect …sect master is not here…” someone said with a trembling voice.

“Ethan…Ethan Smith, this has nothing to do with us…”

“Don’t kill us…”

Ethan Smith glanced at them and said coldly, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Tell Joshua Hess I’ll find him soon.”

After leaving these words, Ethan Smith turned and left.

Seeing Ethan Smith’s departing figure, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

The news of Ethan Smith’s challenge to the Great Saint Sect spread quickly on the Martial Arts Forum!

“Did you hear? Ethan Smith went to the Great Saint Sect alone, and no one dared to take him on!”

“I heard that the Great Saint Sect sealed its gate, fearing that Ethan Smith would come!”

“Not only that, I heard that Joshua Hess had already run away!”

“What? The Northern #1 sect master was scared and ran away?”

“Latest news, Ethan Smith has officially entered the Military Marquis Realm! Joshua Hess dares not accept the challenge and abandons his sect to run away in advance!”

Countless messages flooded in!

Joshua Hess looked at the messages on the screen, his face extremely ugly.

He never expected that his lifelong reputation would be destroyed in this way!

At this moment, Joshua Hess’s phone rang.

Picking up the phone and seeing it was from Toby Bacchus, he quickly answered, saying, “Toby, what’s the situation now?”

Toby on the other end said, “Sect Master, where are you? Ethan Smith says that if you don’t come back, he will occupy the Great Saint Sect, and he said, he’ll definitely find you and kill you personally.”

Hearing these words, Joshua Hess’s face became even uglier.

He clenched his teeth and said, “I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Joshua Hess took a deep breath.

His hand holding the phone trembled slightly, constantly flipping through the phone numbers.

Over the years, Joshua Hess had accumulated many connections.

Now that Kylan Taylor had abandoned him, he could only find a way to save himself.

After trying to contact many people, most of them refused Joshua Hess’s request.

Finally, a big shot in Cango City agreed.

This big shot was a heavyweight figure in Cango City. Although he wasn’t a martial artist, he had a powerful background and played the most important role in Cango City.

The man’s name was Darian Hill, and in addition to being an official figure in Cango City, he had relatives in the depths of Capital City.

After connecting with Darian Hill by phone, Joshua Hess explained the situation.

After listening, Darian Hill was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve heard of this Ethan Smith, he’s been making quite a name for himself lately.”

“Yes, Mr. Hill, if it weren’t for the difficult circumstances, I wouldn’t have troubled you…” Joshua Hess said with a bitter smile.

As a Marquis, he was not willing to deal with official figures.

Darian Hill thought for a moment, then said, “I can arrange a meeting for you two to talk. Whether you can reach an agreement is up to you.”

Joshua Hess clenched his teeth and said, “Mr. Hill, just having the chance to negotiate is enough!”

“Alright, I’ll arrange the time and place.” After leaving these words, Darian Hill hung up the phone.

…

On the other side, Ethan Smith didn’t leave Cango City in a hurry.

In the past few days, he had been investigating the information related to the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

After investigating, Ethan Smith found that the Capital City Martial Arts Association indeed had a deep foundation.

In addition to controlling almost all resources, they had extremely strong connections.

For example, Emerson Holmes was a puppet specifically used to negotiate with various aristocratic families.

In addition to Emerson Holmes, there were other chairmen who negotiated with the upper-level bigwigs in Capital City.

As for the martial arts, there wasn’t much information available online.

“After I kill Joshua Hess, I’ll go to the Capital City Martial Arts Association for someone.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

Then, Ethan Smith got up and prepared to go back to the Great Saint Sect again.

He didn’t want to waste any more time. Since Joshua Hess didn’t want to show up, he would just trample on the Great Saint Sect directly!

At this moment, two men in suits blocked Ethan Smith’s path.

“Mr. Smith, our boss would like to see you.” The two spoke expressionlessly.

Ethan Smith glanced at them and asked, “Who is your boss?”

“Darian Hill,” one replied.

Ethan Smith shook his head, “Never heard of him.”

The two looked at each other, and then, they presented their work credentials.

After seeing that they were official figures, Ethan Smith frowned slightly.

“Darian Hill… I think I remember now, a heavyweight figure in Cango City’s government.” Ethan Smith said solemnly.

Even if Ethan Smith entered the Military Marquis Realm, he couldn’t oppose the authorities.

After some thought, Ethan Smith nodded, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Then, Ethan Smith followed the two men into the car.

The car drove to a private farmhouse courtyard.

“Go in, our boss is waiting for you inside.” The two men said.

Ethan Smith didn’t speak. He walked into the small farmhouse courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he saw a familiar person.

“Joshua Hess, so you’re hiding here!” Ethan Smith said coldly, an intense murderous spirit bursting forth!

Feeling the murderous spirit from Ethan Smith, Joshua Hess’s face changed slightly.

He instinctively looked at Darian Hill beside him.

Darian Hill waved his hand and said, “You must be Ethan Smith? Sit down first.”

Ethan Smith looked at Darian Hill for a moment and gave a slight bow, “Mr. Hill.”

Darian Hill poured a glass of water for Ethan Smith and said with a smile, “Ethan Smith, the reason I invited you here today is to discuss the grievances between you and Joshua Hess.”

Ethan Smith remained silent, waiting for Darian Hill to continue.

Darian Hill said, “There’s no deep hatred between you two, so why not sit down and talk and figure out how to resolve this issue? This is also Joshua Hess’s intention.”

Joshua Hess reluctantly said, “Ethan Smith, I was acting under the Taylor family’s orders before, it wasn’t my intention.”

Ethan Smith glanced at Joshua Hess and sneered, “Oh, now you know to find someone and talk?”

Joshua Hess awkwardly said, “I had no choice… Ethan Smith, we can talk about anything you want…”

Hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sneer, “I don’t want anything, I just want your life!”

“Now you want to talk? Too late!”
