Chapter 205 - 205: 205: A Deadly Game?
Gage Mcbride never intended to release Ethan Smith in the first place!
His plan was to use Ethan Smith to cure Tristin Schroeder and then throw Ethan back into jail!
“Well, Ethan, you missed your chance. Don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Gage Mcbride said coldly.
“I’ll submit the materials soon, and by then… you won’t even have the chance to regret!” Gage Mcbride grimly reprimanded.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Mr. Mcbride.” Ethan Smith responded, devoid of emotion.
After leaving those words behind, Ethan Smith turned and walked away.
Although Gage Mcbride was angry, he couldn’t do anything about it. He left helplessly.
He returned to his office, where Conrad Schroeder was sitting, sipping tea.
“Mr. Mcbride, how did it go? Did Ethan Smith agree?” Conrad Schroeder asked.
Gage Mcbride shook his head and sighed, “Mr. Schroeder, Ethan Smith is smarter than we thought. He has seen through our plans.”
At this, Conrad Schroeder smacked the table and rose to his feet!
He angrily shouted, “Are we just going to let my son lie in bed for the rest of his life!”
Confronted with Conrad’s anger, Gage Mcbride dared not to say much and could only tremble silently on the side.
“If there’s no other way… We might as well set Ethan Smith free. He might be able to treat your son…” Gage Mcbride suggested.
Conrad Schroeder glanced at Gage Mcbride and coldly said, “No, Ethan Smith must die!”
Clearly, Conrad Schroeder was panicking.
If Ethan Smith didn’t die, it would be a catastrophe for the Schroeder family!
He would never allow anyone to challenge the Schroeder family’s status in Chuzzle!
Gage Mcbride sighed and said, “There’s nothing we can do then.”
Conrad Schroeder cast a cold glance at Gage Mcbride and said, “Submit the materials immediately, kill Ethan Smith, the rest can wait.”
To Conrad Schroeder, the status of his family surpasses even the life of his son, Tristin Schroeder!
After Ethan Smith came back to his cell, Edward Green rushed over.
“Mr. Smith… Did you offend the Schroeder family?” Edward Green stared wide-eyed at Ethan Smith, clearly disbelieving.
Ethan Smith was about to speak when the few Grandmasters who had been kneeling on the ground hurried over to him with the support of their mates. This time, their faces were not filled with resentment, but an unspeakable reverence!
“Mr. Smith! ” They all bowed and shouted in unison.
This surprised Ethan Smith a bit.
Gazing at the few men in front of him, he asked with a half-smile, “What’s this all about?”
The men hastily explained, “We heard that a young man in Chuzzle not only provoked the Schroeder family, but also defeated Conrad Schroeder.” “We never would have thought that young man was you!”
“Yes, your deeds are well-known, we admire you greatly! ” “We have offended you before. Please forgive us!”
This surprised Ethan Smith even more.
Even within the jail, the news had spread?
It seemed the influence of the Schroeder family in Chuzzle was indeed beyond imagination.
“Mr. Smith, over these many years, no one has ever dared to provoke the
Schroeder family. You are the first!”
“Yes, if possible, we are willing to follow you!”
All of these people were Grandmasters. Were they in the outside world, they could certainly form a formidable force.
Unfortunately, it seemed unlikely that Ethan Smith would have the chance to get out.
The few men chatted amiably, and Ethan Smith also healed their legs for them.
Although these people were terrified of the Schroeder family, they also had a strong desire to resist, only they were too scared to take action.
Looking at the group of people filled with righteous indignation, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but gaze towards the direction of the jail.
“What about we band together, revolt against this Martial Arts Association, and break out of this cage? What do you say?” he said somberly.
His words were met with immediate silence.
The previously lively atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat cold, not a single person dared to speak.
“Mr. Smith, it’s not that we don’t want to help you, it’s just… this idea isn’t practical,” someone said.
“Yes, Mr. Smith, we advise you to give up on this idea.”
Ethan Smith furrowed his eyebrows, confused, “When I got in here, I saw that the Martial Arts Association is just guarded by a few Grandmasters. If we unite, we can easily break out.”
“Mr. Smith, what you saw is only the Martial Arts Association of Chuzzle,” the burly man who started the conversation disagreed.
“Chuzzle only has Grandmasters, what about the Central Province? What about Capital City?”
“The Martial Arts Association is the official organization of martial artists, they will absolutely not tolerate any challenges to their authority.”
“If anyone rebels, the Central Province and Capital City will probably send people to eliminate us.”
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith immediately understood.
This Martial Arts Association is likely a huge organization.
Having been established for so many years, they have already amassed profound power.
Challenging them is naturally not that simple.
“Mr. Smith, we are sorry.” A few of them apologized.
Ethan Smith smiled and said, “I was only joking, I just hope you could look after Edward Green in the future.”
“Mr. Smith, please rest assured,” everyone replied in unison.
They hadn’t been imprisoned for long and naturally wouldn’t follow Ethan Smith in taking such a risk.
And Ethan Smith did not bring up the matter again.
Time flies.
By evening, Gage Mcbride had prepared all the relevant materials against Ethan Smith.
“These materials are enough to cost Ethan Smith’s life,” Gage Mcbride handed the materials over to Conrad Schroeder.
After Conrad Schroeder glanced over the materials, he sneered, “Good, there is no time to delay, things may change. Gage Mcbride, execute Ethan Smith’s death sentence tomorrow morning!”
Gage Mcbride responded, “Understood.”
Conrad Schroeder did not stay at the Martial Arts Association for long. As soon as he left. he had Uncle Armando spread the news everywhere-
He wanted to maintain his position in Chuzzle and let everyone in Chuzzle know not to challenge the Schroeder Family, otherwise, they would only face death!
What a move to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
The news quickly spread all around Chuzzle, and countless people were talking about it!
“Ethan Smith… he ultimately failed,” Keith Moore murmured lowly, like an aging man approaching the dusk of his life.
Even River City got wind of this news.
“Hahaha, I knew Ethan Smith was bound to die!” Caldwell burst out laughing in his office.
He held a cigar and a ruthless glint flashed across his face.
“Looking to kill me, you must be dreaming!” Caldwell said coldly. Afterwards, Caldwell shouted toward the door, “Bring Franklin Duarte in.”
Not long after, a young man walked in.
Behind him, he was leading a large group of people!
And this young man, known as Franklin Duarte, was a bona fide Eighth-rank Inner Strength powerhouse! His strength even exceeded Edward Green’s!
“Manager Caldwell,” Duarte greeted, slightly bowing.
Caldwell sneered, “Ethan Smith has fallen into prison and will be executed tomorrow. It’s time to shake things up in River City!” “Duarte, take your men and get rid of Ray Walters tonight!”
“Yes, Manager Caldwell,” Duarte responded, nodding slightly.
“Manager Caldwell, if Ethan Smith dies, then what about the Soul Nourishment Pill…” Caldwell’s secretary worriedly frowned.
Caldwell sneered, “I have already prepared for this.. Once Ethan Smith dies, only one person will be able to produce the Soul Nourishment Pill, that is, Elder Hansen! As long as I control Elder Hansen, the Soul Nourishment Pill is all mine!”
