Mrs. and Mr. Smith

The faces of these lower-ranking martial artists instantly turned pale!

Their minds were involuntarily filled with Frederick Cohen’s words. They had never expected that what Frederick had said would turn out to be true!

The crowd urgently turned their eyes onto Jordan Richards, their gaze pleading for mercy.

However, Jordan Richards coldly declared, “The Immortal Slaying Sect is in grave crisis, the low-ranking martial artists, weak and disobedient. They will die in the Sect.”

“You…you!” Jordan Richards’ cold words sent chills down everyone’s spines!

Not far from the scene, the people of the Capital City circle remained expressionless, as if they had anticipated this outcome all along.

Sitting in his chair, Ethan Smith was becoming increasingly anxious. If things continued in this manner, these people seemed doomed to die right here!

Ethan Smith attempted to sense Frederick Cohen’s life force, only to find that although Frederick was not dead, his vitality was extremely feeble.

Without help, he would doubtlessly die.

“Captain Richards, is this really the right course of action?” asked Daphne Green at that point.

Hearing Daphne Green’s words, Ethan Smith inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was no wonder she was Emily Taylor’s friend. At least she possessed a kind heart.

Yet, Daphne Green alone voicing her concerns could not change anything.

Jordan Richards coldly responded, “Miss Green, this decision is unanimous amongst us all. You better keep silent.”

Blaise Rhodes also coldly snorted, “They are but a bunch of insignificant insects. If they die, they die. Why bother, Miss Green?”

Daphne Green started to speak once more, but was cut off by a wave of Jordan Richards’s hand.

“Dudley Lynch, it’s your turn,” Jordan Richards coldly commanded.

Dudley Lynch licked his lips and responded, “Rest assured”

After he spoke, Dudley Lynch, with his hand gripped around the black energy, began moving towards the crowd.

Onstage, Ethan Smith was dripping with sweat and clearly anxious.

The bracelets showed no signs of loosening their grip. Even if Ethan Smith intervened, he would be unable to stop them and could end up losing his own life!

“I’ve got it!” Suddenly, Ethan seemed to have come to a realization!

He mustered all his energy and shouted, “How dare you impudent juniors trespass into my Immortal Slaying Sect!”

Hearing this challenge, everyone was startled.

Even Jordan Richards, took a frightful shudder, beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead!

He hastily moved towards Ethan Smith, bowing with his hands cupped in a respectful salute, stammering, “Se…Senior, we mean no disrespect, we ask for your forgiveness…”

“Insolence!” Ethan Smith barked, playing his part, “Kneel!”

Jordan Richards was completely oblivious to Ethan’s performance, he presumed that he was addressing the sect lord of the Immortal Slayer Sect.

Jordan Richards frantically warned, “Hurry and kneel, everyone kneel!”

All these privileged young masters from the Capital City, all valued their lives greatly, hurriedly knelt as Jordan Richards commanded.

“Senior, we mean no disrespect. Our hearts are filled with great reverence for the Immortal Slaying Sect. Please pardon our mistakes…” Jordan Richards knelt on the ground, trembling as he spoke.

Deep down, he was already in a panic. After all, those who attended were the top-notch young generation of Pyro!

What’s more, within them were the juniors from major aristocratic families.

If anyone were to be killed, they would inevitably suffer a severe backlash!

Ethan Smith, sitting in the chair, couldn’t help but feel relieved. He really wanted to see Jordan Richards’ terrified face as he pleaded on the ground.

“Who are you, and who gave you authorization to enter my Immortal Slayer Sect?” Ethan Smith continued his act.

Jordan Richards quickly stated, “Senior, we are from the Capital City Martial Arts Association. We have come to the Immortal Slayer Sect… to pay a visit and catch a glimpse of the legendary world’s number one sect…”

Ethan Smith scoffed, “Really?! Know your place, junior, if you dare deceive me, I will obliterate your divine soul!”

“I dare not, I dare not. As my junior, I would never dare to deceive you,” said Jordan Richards hurriedly.

His head was pressed to the ground, fearing to provoke the ire of the “Sect Lord” of the Immortal Slaying Sect.

Ethan Smith didn’t know what to say for a while; the scene fell silent.

Jordan Richards and the others dared not even breathe heavily as they knelt on the ground, awaiting judgement.

“Capital City Martial Arts Association … what is that? Why have I never heard of it before?” Ethan Smith asked again.

“The Capital City Martial Arts Association is our organization, it has just risen in recent years…” Jordan Richards quickly responded.

“Hmph, without the tiger in the mountain, the monkey would be king!” Ethan Smith said coldly.

“You recklessly trespassed into Immortal Slaying Sect and woke me from deep slumber. This is a most terrible crime!” Ethan Smith thundered.

Jordan Richards’ face turned pale, and he blurted out, “Please spare us, we will leave immediately!”

“Do you think my Immortal Slaying Sect is a marketplace, where you can come and go as you wish!” Ethan Smith roared.

“Everyone, kneel and kowtow thirty times. Perhaps I may then consider sparing your lives.”

Upon hearing this, Jordan Richards rushed to say, “Yes, yes, we will follow whatever you say.”

After saying this, Jordan Richards was the first to kowtow.

The others seemed reluctant to kowtow. They were all proud and aloof individuals and naturally didn’t want to swallow this insult.

“If you don’t want to die, start kowtowing now! The Sect lord of Immortal Slaying Sect is a grand cultivator of Returning to the Void, his very thought could annihilate your divine souls!” Jordan Richards shouted angrily.

Although they were unwilling, the gravity in Jordan Richards’ words made them reluctantly kowtow.

For a moment, the sounds of “thump, thump, thump” resonated throughout the Great Hall.

Ethan Smith laughed heartily in his mind. How did it feel to make the elegant young men of the Capital City bow their heads?

Under the heavens, no one had ever borne witness to such a spectacle!

Finally, they had finished their thirty kowtows.

Jordan Richards raised his head and asked tremulously, “Senior… may we leave now?”

Ethan Smith suppressed his laughter and said, “Go away, and remember that my Immortal Slaying Sect is not a place where insignificant characters like you can come. If I catch you here again, I will spare no one from your Capital City Martial Arts Association!”

“Yes, yes, we hear and obey…” Jordan Richards got to his feet quickly and turned to leave.

“Pfft!”

Just when they were about to leave, Ethan Smith couldn’t hold his laughter any longer and burst out laughing from his chair.

This sudden laughter made everyone freeze.

“Dammit!” Ethan Smith cursed in his heart.

“Just now… was someone laughing?” Dominic Taylor asked with a furrowed brow.

Jordan Richards scratched his ear uncertainly, turned to Ethan Smith and asked, “Excuse me… were you the one laughing, sir?”

“Indeed, I was the one laughing,” Ethan Smith admitted brusquely.

“If there’s nothing else, get out of here,” Ethan Smith said coldly.

“Wait a minute.” At this point, Dominic Taylor turned to look at Ethan Smith.

He said coldly, “Sir, can you turn around and let me see your true face?”

“Ridiculous! Is my true appearance something that you can see?” Ethan Smith roared.

Dominic Taylor retorted, “Sir, why is it that I find you a bit strange? Your clothes and appearance don’t look like they’re from a thousand years ago.”

“And for all these years… your clothes haven’t rotted at all?”

At Dominic Taylor’s reminder, everyone began to feel that something was off.

“Turn around, let us take a look,” Dominic Taylor said coldly.

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Dominic Taylor’s hand was enveloped with a radiant aura, ready to take action at any moment.
