Chapter 369: 369: Emily, Wait for Me!
Feeling that something’s off, he quietly said, “Fall back quickly!”
Without a second thought, the two at his side turned and fled!
The trio moved fairly quickly. Before others could react, they were already far away!
“Mr. Smith, should we continue the pursuit?” the crowd asked.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath and shook his head, “No need.”
He decided to let them escape for now. He’d find them one day and annihilate their clans!
“I’ll remember your kindness. Once I finish refining the pills, I’ll certainly gift them to you,” Ethan Smith said, his hands clasped in gratitude to the crowd.
“We thank Mr. Smith!” the crowd exclaimed in unison.
After sending the crowd away, Ethan Smith headed back into Earth Fiend Valley.
“Ethan Smith, what exactly is going on now?” Mike Taylor asked.
Ethan Smith shook his head and replied, “Mike Taylor, as long as you are alive, nothing else matters. Let’s head back to Capital City now.”
However, Mike Taylor looked grave.
He waved his hand and said, “I’m afraid I can’t go back.”
Ethan Smith frowned, “What do you mean?”
Mike Taylor sighed, “I suspect Kylan Taylor has already announced my death. Now, with a new appearance and everything, if he doesn’t recognize me, I no longer exist in this world.”
Just as Mike Taylor had said, Kylan Taylor did just that.
The father knows the son best. It seemed Mike Taylor had anticipated all this.
Ethan Smith remained silent, unsure of what to say.
He took out his phone, intending to inform Emily Taylor about this.
However, he noticed a message from Emily Taylor.
“Ethan Smith, don’t come to Capital City. Please, hang on.”
On seeing the message, Ethan Smith felt his heart miss a beat.
Clearly, something must have happened in Capital City.
Ethan Smith quickly picked up his phone and dialed Emily Taylor’s number.
The phone rang for a long time with no answer.
Ethan Smith was persistent. He kept redialing.
After four unanswered calls, someone finally answered on the fifth attempt.
However, it wasn’t Emily Taylor. It was an unfamiliar voice.
She whispered, “Mr. Smith, please stop calling Miss Taylor. Her phone has been confiscated.”
Upon hearing these words, Ethan Smith’s face turned even more serious!
Biting his lip, he asked, “How is Emily now? Is she okay?”
“Miss Taylor’s authority has been stripped away. She is fine, just confined for now.”
“Mr. Smith, Miss Taylor wishes you to carry on with your life.”
Frantically, Ethan Smith said, “Could you please pass on a message to her? Thank you.”
After a moment’s silence, she replied, “Okay, what is the message?”
“Tell her that I’ve managed to revive Mike Taylor. Also, tell her to wait for me in Capital City. I’ll come to get her. I promise to fulfill the vows I made,” Ethan Smith said hurriedly over the phone.
“Alright, I got it.” She agreed, after which she promptly hung up.
After hanging up the phone, the nanny cautiously moved towards Emily Taylor’s room.
“Miss Taylor, Mr. Smith just called.” the nanny whispered.
Emily Taylor quickly got up and asked, “How is he? Is he okay?”
The nanny said, “He’s okay. He asked me to tell you that he has revived Mike Taylor. He wants you to wait for him in Capital City. He will come for you.”
Upon hearing this, Emily Taylor’s face broke into a blooming smile, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“What are you doing?”
At that moment, a voice came from behind.
As she turned to look, she saw Kylan Taylor standing behind her with a cold expression.
“Mr. Taylor, I-” the nanny started to explain, but Kylan Taylor slapped her, knocking her unconscious.
Kylan Taylor lit a cigarette and coldly said, “He revived him, did he? Looks like Colt Kirby was incompetent.”
Emily Taylor stared back at Kylan Taylor and asked, “What do you want?”
“Ha, don’t worry, Emily. After all, you’re my niece. I won’t harm you,” Kylan Taylor exhaled a puff of smoke.
“All I did was for your benefit. Marrying Dexter Blair is not better than marrying Ethan Smith? Relax, as long as you behave, you’ll remain Miss Taylor.”
After Kylan Taylor left Taylor family’s Estate, his face instantly turned icy cold.
“That good-for-nothing! He couldn’t even kill Ethan Smith!” Kylan Taylor said in a fit of rage.
“Send someone after Ethan Smith immediately! Remember, send our best to eliminate him!”
By ‘our best’, he clearly meant the Grandmaster Peak!
Kylan Taylor did not want any more surprises. So he ordered the Grandmaster Peak to assassinate Ethan Smith!
At that moment, Ethan Smith was consumed by a mixture of emotions.
He explained to Mike Taylor everything that had happened.
After listening to him, Mike Taylor couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.
Then, as if something struck him, he spoke.
“Ethan Smith, leave here immediately,” Mike Taylor said in a cold voice.
“Um? What happened?” Ethan Smith asked.
Mike Taylor kept a stern face and said, “Knowing what I know about Kylan Taylor, he won’t let anyone related to this stay alive. Leave here at once!”
“I understand.” Ethan Smith nodded.
“Before leaving, I have one last thing to do.” Ethan Smith’s eyes slid towards the direction of the Martial Arts Association.
In the association building, Rishi Sheppard was lying relaxed on a chair, examining the two pills.
Because for someone at his level, getting access to two Earth Rank Pills is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“Hehe, my luck has been great. I have not only managed to improve my relations with the Kirby family, but I also received such a coveted item, haha!” Rishi Sheppard found this very amusing and couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Just then, a voice came from outside.
Suddenly, the office door was kicked open!
Looking up, Rishi Sheppard saw Ethan Smith standing at the door, looking at him coldly.
