Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 153 - 153: 153: The Old Grandmaster!_l

Moreover, making friends was not something that could be easily explained in just a few words.

Ashton seemed to notice Ethan’s thoughts and changed the topic: “Are you here for fun, Mr. Smith? I’m quite familiar with this area. How about I show you around?”

Ethan glanced at him and nodded: “Alright, I appreciate your help.”

Ashton then took Ethan for a stroll around the nearby area, introducing almost every stall.

Unfortunately, none of them offered what Ethan was looking for.

“Are there no herbs around here?” Ethan asked.

Ashton paused before laughing: “There are, but most herbs here are used to deceive the wealthy local tycoons.”

In other words, the herbs here were mostly of poor quality, used to trick wealthy outsiders who didn’t know any better.”

After hearing Ashton’s explanation, Elder Hansen at the side looked somewhat embarrassed.

“If you want to find herbs, I can take you to a place when I get the chance.” Ashton said with a smile.

Ethan nodded slightly and said, “Thank you in advance.”

Since there were no herbs, there was no need for Ethan to stay.

Furthermore, he needed to rest well for the Traditional Medicine Conference tomorrow.

As Ethan and Ashton exchanged greetings and were about to leave, Ethan suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura nearby.

This aura’s fluctuations were almost the strongest Ethan had ever encountered, apart from Cato Cain’s!

Not only that, but the murderous spirit enveloped him and was heading straight towards Ethan!

Ashton seemed to notice this powerful aura as well, and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Inner Strength Greatmaster?”

Ethan’s brows furrowed, and he cautiously scanned his surroundings.

Soon, he saw a man slowly walking over from not too far away.

“You must be Ethan Smith?” The man looked to be around fifty years old, but the muscle lines on his body didn’t show any signs of aging.

Ethan coldly stared at this man and said, “Who are you? I don’t think I know you.”

“Someone wants me to take your life.” The man replied indifferently with his arms behind his back.

Ethan’s face turned cold, but before he could speak, Ashton suddenly cried in surprise, “Keith… Keith Moore?”

“Keith Moore?” Ethan furrowed his brow and instinctively looked at Ashton beside him.

With a hint of solemnity, Ashton took a deep breath before explaining, “This man is Keith Moore, an old and reputable Grandmaster in South City. His reputation is widely known, and everyone is aware of his abilities.”

Pausing momentarily, Ashton continued, “Mr. Smith, how did you provoke such a person?”

Ethan frowned, “I don’t know him at all.”

Young man, will you come with me willingly, or do I have to take your life first?’”‘ Keith Moore asked indifferently with arms still behind his back.

“Mr. Moore!” At this moment, Ashton stepped forward and bowed to Keith Moore.

Keith Moore looked at Ashton and asked with a furrowed brow, “Are you… the young man from the Nicholson family?”

Ashton hastily replied, “I have met Mr. Moore before.”

Keith Moore nodded slightly and said, “Alright, you have nothing to do with this today, so leave quickly to avoid getting hurt.”

Hearing Keith Moore’s words, Ashton gritted his teeth. Despite his unwillingness, he stepped forward and bowed his hands, “Mr. Moore, Ethan Smith is my friend. I don’t know what he has done to offend you, but I ask you to let him go on my account.”

Keith Moore was taken aback but then shook his head, “No.”

“Mr. Moore, I…” Ashton tried to say something when Keith Moore cut him off with a dismissive wave of his hand and shouted, “I said no, and that’s final!”

His powerful and profound voice, filled with a torrent of Inner Strength, made people’s eardrums ache.

Ashton frowned slightly, standing there at a loss of what to do next.

“That’s enough, don’t worry about it.” At this moment, Ethan suddenly waved his hand.

“We just met, and my future is uncertain. Perhaps I might die tomorrow. It would be foolish for you to risk offending Keith Moore for someone like me.” Ethan said indifferently.

Ashton was slightly startled and then apologized with a hint of guilt, “Mr.

Smith, I’m truly sorry.”

Ethan nodded slightly, not really minding it at all.

After all, his encounter with Ashton was brief, and there was no reason for him to step in and help.

As Ashton prepared to leave, Ethan suddenly called out, “Mr. Tenny, do me a favor.”

Ashton stopped in his tracks, his face showing a hint of anxiety. Ethan smiled, “Don’t worry. I just want you to take Elder Hansen with you.”

“Mr. Smith, I…” Elder Hansen wanted to say something, but Ethan waved his hand to interrupt him.

Ashton gritted his teeth, turned his head back, and dragged Elder Hansen away.

It wasn’t until Elder Hansen had left that Ethan turned his eyes back to Keith Moore.

Keith Moore stood with his arms behind his back, looking nonchalant.

Obviously, he didn’t take Ethan seriously at all.

“Was it Dorian Dawson who sent you?” Ethan suddenly asked.

Keith Moore shook his head, “Do you think I would tell you?”

Ethan chuckled, “Since I’m already a dead man, what’s the harm in telling me? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to defeat me?”

Keith Moore couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Kid, I know you have some skills, defeating the Lane Family and overcoming Aidan Ortega. However, it’s a pity that you don’t stand a chance against me.”

Ethan observed Keith Moore in front of him and realized that this man was a third-stage Grandmaster!

Although he was just two stages higher than Scarface, his strength was worlds apart!

“I’ll ask you one last time: will you come willingly, or will I have to take your life first?” Keith Moore asked coldly.

Ethan sneered, “I’d like to see if you have the ability to take me.”

“Ignorant fool.” Keith Moore’s face turned cold as he stepped forward. The terrifying aura immediately bore down on Ethan!

This powerful aura even whipped up a gale! The nearby stalls were instantly overturned !

Despite facing this terrifying pressure, Ethan remained unmoved with his arms behind his back.

“Not bad.” Keith Moore coldly smirked. Suddenly, he stomped his foot, and the terrifying aura grew even stronger!

In an instant, it felt as if Ethan’s shoulders were being crushed by two giant mountains!

Those nearby were also affected, and some even spat blood from the impact!

Ethan’s brow furrowed slightly, and he secretly marveled in his heart, “No wonder he’s an old Grandmaster; he’s truly terrifying.”

Keith Moore stepped towards Ethan, his gait graceful yet containing a terrifying force.

This indicated that Keith Moore’s control of his Inner Strength has reached a superb level!

“Just die already! ” At this moment, Keith Moore suddenly roared, his palm clenched tightly as he unleashed a hefty gust of Inner Strength straight towards Ethan!
