Mrs. and Mr. Smith

For an instant, a wave of aura emanated from the coffin, converging on the mask!

An eerie atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire scene!

Ethan Smith hurriedly pulled Clare aside to avoid getting affected.

The mask trembled non-stop in mid-air, as the aura swept up from the coffin.

Ethan Smith looked up at this scene, his face flashing a hint of shock!

What kind of method was this? Could it be that the mask had developed self-consciousness?

After a moment, the scene finally quieted down.

The mask fell into the coffin, and everything returned to calm.

Ethan Smith led Clare to the coffin, reached out, and took the mask out, returning it to her.

“Do you feel anything strange?” Ethan Smith asked with concern.

Clare just shook her head, not saying anything.

It was as if she had become much more silent since either William Richardson’s death or because of the mask.

Her temperament no longer resembled a teenage girl, instead, she had gained a touch of coldness.

Ethan couldn’t tell if this was good or bad, but if Clare truly was connected with the masked woman, Clare’s future would be unimaginable.

In the following days, Ethan never left this place.

William Richardson was dead, and Clare certainly couldn’t go on living here by herself.

Ethan could only sigh in resignation.

“For now, I’ll take her back to Green Moon Villa,” Ethan thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Clare’s mood seemed to have eased considerably during this time.

So, Ethan decided to seek out the man with the mustache the next day to revive the two male corpses.

At night.

Ethan took out the two male corpses from the Spatial Magic Artifact.

“Clare, do you recognize these two people?” Ethan pointed at the corpses and asked.

Clare shook her head and said, “I don’t know them.”

Ethan didn’t ask any more questions, as he couldn’t be sure about the connection between Clare and the masked woman.

“Perhaps it’s just because of her constitution,” Ethan thought to himself.

After all, Clare was a pure dark energy body, which might be able to trigger a reaction with the masked woman.

“The news of the mask has spread. From now on, there will probably be endless troubles,” Ethan sighed.

The ones who came to snatch the mask this time were three Marquis. What kind of existence would come next?

The next day.

Ethan took Clare and left Chuzzle, heading for the location marked by the man with the mustache.

Along the way, Clare seemed very silent.

After an unknown period, Ethan finally found where the man with the mustache was.

This place was a desolate and uninhabited area, with a touch of solemnity in the surroundings.

Ethan sniffed and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“It seems like there’s a formation laid down here,” Ethan whispered.

He tried to mobilize the internal energy of his body but found it as though his energy was being suppressed, like a block of ice, unable to circulate.

“There really is a formation,” Ethan muttered softly.

Of course, he didn’t think too much about it. Even without energy, Ethan’s physical body was unrivaled in the world.

Ethan brought Clare and stepped forward.

Soon, an array platform appeared before Ethan.

At a glance, the platform seemed quite ancient.

It was engraved with numerous strange characters, and around the platform were densely arranged array flags.

“This must be the place,” Ethan said gravely.

This mysterious platform was simple, without any trace of energy, and looked like it could collapse at any moment.

“Where is this?” Clare looked at the scene and couldn’t help but frown.

Ethan didn’t answer the question but instead said, “Clare, I’ll need to borrow your mask for a bit. I’ll give it back soon.”

Clare readily handed the mask over to Ethan.

“Keeping the mask with me isn’t safe, so I’ll leave it under your care for now,” Clare said.

Ethan thought about it and found it quite reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.

Ethan then looked around and murmured, “Where on earth has that man with the mustache gone? Has he already left?”

“Who is the man with the mustache?” Clare asked.

Ethan smiled and said, “A friend of mine. Let’s wait for him here.”

After saying this, Ethan pulled Clare to sit on the platform, waiting for the man with the mustache.

Time passed by the minute and second, but the man with the mustache never appeared.

Soon, night fell.

There was no light around them except for the stars.

At this moment, a figure was hidden in the darkness.

He looked in Ethan’s direction, and his eyes flashed with an unusual coldness.

“My friend, although I admire you, for the sake of that mask, I can only apologize!” the man with the mustache whispered.

He then retracted his breath, stepped forward, and walked towards Ethan.

Ethan, who was completely unaware, was meditating on the platform.

Soon, the man with the mustache appeared behind Ethan.

He looked coldly at Ethan, with a flicker of conflict in his eyes.

However, this conflict was only fleeting, replaced by full-on coldness!

He raised his palm and slowly reached out towards Ethan!

At this moment, Clare suddenly turned her head and looked at the man with the mustache behind her.

The man with the mustache frowned slightly. Just as he was about to become ruthless, his face suddenly changed drastically!

His face turned pale as he looked at Clare!

The next second, the man with the mustache shot backward, his face filled with fear!

“You… you…” The man with the mustache pointed at Clare, muttering incessantly, as if he had seen a ghost!

The commotion naturally caught Ethan’s attention.

He turned to look at the man with the mustache and said with a frown, “What’s the matter with you? Did you see a ghost?”

The man with the mustache swallowed, as cold sweat oozed from his forehead continuously!

In just an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through his mind!

The plan to snatch the mask vanished in a puff of smoke at this moment!

Ethan looked at the man with the mustache suspiciously, then glanced at Clare and muttered, “What’s up with you?”

The man with the mustache wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up with an awkward smile.

“Nothing, nothing…” The usual carefree expression returned to the man with the mustache’s face.

Ethan looked the man with the mustache up and down, then looked at Clare again before saying playfully, “Man with the mustache, you seem to be very scared of Clare.”

Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache’s heart thudded, and his expression became extremely unnatural!
