Mrs. and Mr. Smith

After Ethan Smith forcibly stepped into the military marquis realm, he nearly defeated Dexter Blair, a son of an aristocratic family.

Not only did Dexter Blair possess Blair family’s cultivation skills, but he also inherited the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s legacy.

Even under such advantageous conditions, he was toyed with by Ethan Smith, let alone a regular military marquis.

Both of them returned to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion together.

The repercussions of Ethan Smith forcefully enhancing his strength were quite serious. If not careful, it might affect his foundation.

Therefore, in these few days, the Pavilion Master devoted almost all his time to taking care of Ethan Smith, striving to minimize the impact.

Meanwhile, the Capital City was shaken.

Almost everyone was discussing the great war between Ethan Smith and Dexter Blair.

As a son of Blair family, Dexter Blair had a huge reputation. This failure turned him into a laughingstock.

“From now on, defeating Ethan Smith might only be possible through the suppression of realm.” Ricardo Bowman and others secretly sighed in their hearts.

As heirs of aristocratic families, they didn’t believe they were stronger than Dexter Blair. Of course, there were exceptions.

Such as Kylan Taylor’s son, Dominic Taylor.

He was the recognized leading genius, but he hadn’t fought much and no one knew his true strength.

The pattern in Capital City was extremely complicated and no one knew how many low-key heirs of aristocratic families were hidden in the shadows.

Blair Family in Capital City.

Reilly Blair stayed by Dexter Blair’s side all day, taking diligent care of him.

He specially invited a professional nursing team from overseas, specifically to take care of Dexter Blair.

Looking at the badly injured Dexter Blair lying on the bed, Reilly Blair’s complexion was extremely gloomy.

“Ethan Smith…you have completely provoked me!” Reilly Blair said coldly.

How much power the Blair family could mobilize if enraged, no one was clear.

But everyone was waiting, waiting for the Blair family’s action.

Taylor family.

Kylan Taylor sat in his study, his face colder than ever.

At this moment, Kylan Taylor’s military adviser walked in through the door.

“Have you investigated it thoroughly?” Kylan Taylor glanced at the adviser and asked.

The adviser replied respectfully, “To answer Mr. Taylor’s question, the Capital City Martial Arts Association seems to be extremely reticent about Miss Taylor’s matter. I am afraid you will have to step in personally if we are to investigate thoroughly.”

Kylan Taylor’s brows furrowed slightly.

The Capital City Martial Arts Association suddenly took Emily Taylor away, leaving everyone puzzled.

Before this, Emily Taylor didn’t have deep contact with the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

“This is indeed strange.” Kylan Taylor touched his chin.

“Mr. Taylor, I think what we should focus on for now is the issue with Ethan Smith.” the adviser reminded.

“Rumors are now spreading outside that if Ethan Smith does not die, he will surely rise above all the major families in the future, just like Ignacio Burke did, or even surpass him.” the adviser said solemnly.

Kylan Taylor scoffed, “Ignacio Burke’s current position is only due to the environment in the past. Otherwise, he is just a martial artist.”

The adviser neither agreed nor disagreed, but he was slightly worried in his heart.

“Mr. Taylor, have you ever thought that if Ethan Smith were to step into the legendary Martial Saint Realm, what kind of power he would have?” the adviser asked in a solemn tone.

Kylan Taylor glanced at the adviser and scoffed, “Impossible, there hasn’t been a Martial Saint in many years.”

The adviser sighed, “Indeed it is hard, but it’s not impossible.”

“If he really steps into the realm of the Martial Saint, we will have to reconsider this issue.”

Kylan Taylor did not deny this.

If a Martial Saint did emerge, it’s not something the major families could deal with.

At that time, the higher-ups of Pyro would most likely give Ethan Smith the green light.

“Don’t worry, the one that suffers the most this time is not us, but the Blair family.” Kylan Taylor lit up a cigar.

“Reilly Blair is going to make a big move soon. Let’s wait and see.”

The military adviser nodded slightly and said, “We can inform the Great Saint Sect to have Joshua Hess seize the opportunity to kill Ethan Smith.”

Kylan Taylor thought for a moment, then said, “You arrange it.”

“Yes, Mr. Taylor.”

…

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Ethan Smith remained unconscious without any signs of waking up.

However, during these days, the entire Martial Arts Forum was extremely lively!

Even though the Blair family and the Taylor family tried to suppress the news, they couldn’t conceal the truth.

Not only were they unable to suppress the news, but many videos also spread out.

Seeing Dexter Blair being thrashed, people on the Martial Arts Forum were surprised.

“Turns out this Dexter Blair isn’t as good as he looks.”

“Nonsense, I’ve once faced off against Dexter Blair, his power is profound and he is definitely one of the top players in Capital City.”

“That’s right, numerous geniuses in Capital City have lost to Dexter Blair, his defeat this time only proves that Ethan Smith is stronger.”

“It’s been so many years since a guy like Ethan Smith appeared. A mere commoner from River City, but now he’s thrashing Dexter Blair, it’s hard to imagine.”

“From today, Ethan Smith is my idol!”

For a time, many young martial artists on the Martial Arts Forum regarded Ethan Smith as a god!

Especially those martial artists without any significant background!

Looking at the forum posts, Reilly Blair’s face sank.

“Ethan Smith… You’ve made my Blair family lose all face!” Reilly Blair gritted his teeth.

“Mr. Blair, the patriarch is here.” Just then, someone ran over.

Hearing this, Reilly Blair’s expression changed.

He was just about to get up when he saw an elderly man, nearly eighty years old, walk in from outside.

This man was no one else but the true head of the Blair family, Cory Blair!

He was followed by a few people, one of whom was Reilly’s own brother, Bryce Blair!

“Dad, you… why are you here?” Reilly hastily got up and said in a low voice.

Cory Blair coldly glanced at Bryce Blair, raised his hand, and slapped him.

The slap left ringing in Reilly’s ears.

He held his face, not daring to say a word.

“A big waste giving birth to a small waste.” Cory Blair said coldly.

He glanced at the half-dead Dexter Blair lying on the bed and said coldly, “Both of you are wastes, completely disgracing the Blair family!”

“Dad, I… I will handle this matter as soon as possible.” Reilly Blair hurriedly said.

Bryce Blair chuckled coldly and said, “I think you might as well not handle this matter. Leave it to me.”

Upon hearing this, Reilly’s anxiety skyrocketed.

Everyone knew that the patriarch preferred Bryce and had always looked down on Reilly.

If this matter were to be handed over to Bryce, Reilly’s status in the Blair family would plummet!

Not only that, even his own son would be affected!

“Dad, trust me, I will handle this immediately!” Reilly Blair pleaded anxiously.

Cory Blair coldly looked at Reilly and said, “Do you know what your biggest value is?”

Reilly opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Cory Blair snorted coldly and said, “Your and your son’s only value is being able to ally with the Taylor family through marriage! Being able to marry Miss Taylor!”

“And the result? The wedding was a mess and caused our Blair family to lose face!”

Reilly’s face turned incredibly pale, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, “Dad, give me a few days. I… I will sort out both of these matters!”

“I promise the Taylors won’t call off the marriage, and Ethan Smith… will surely die!”
