Watching Conrad Schroeder’s departing figure, Ethan Smith remained silent.
Although Conrad followed Ethan for a long time, he knew very well that there was always a certain distance between their hearts.
The fact that Conrad could now make such a choice already made Ethan feel gratified.
“Edward Green, get ready, tonight we’ll go to Flood Dragon Village.” Ethan said.
Hearing this, Edward immediately became anxious.
He ran to Ethan’s side, staring wide-eyed and said, “Mr. Smith, are you joking? Going to Flood Dragon Village now would just expose you deliberately, wouldn’t it?”
Ethan looked at Edward, sighed faintly and said, “I also want to know what percentage of my strength I still have.”
“Then I’ll just accompany you to practice,” Edward muttered.
Ethan waved his hand, “Enough, stop talking, prepare to set off.”
“Master Smith, I want to go with you as well,” said Sofia Carrillo, stepping forward.
Ethan looked at Sofia and said, “What are you going for? Stay at home and focus on your alchemy.”
“I must go! If you get hurt, I could still help you.” Sofia stubbornly said.
Seeing this, Ethan didn’t refuse further and just nodded in agreement.
That afternoon.
Edward drove, carrying Ethan and Sofia towards Flood Dragon Village.
Flood Dragon Village is a special martial arts village set up by the Martial Arts Association and is of utmost importance in the Chuzzle martial arts world.
Even the Chuzzle Martial Arts Association had stationed elite forces there.
Not only did they provide martial artists with herbs, but they also held competitions in Flood Dragon Village to encourage the development of martial arts in Chuzzle.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that almost everyone in Flood Dragon Village is a martial artist.
It is said that the strongest among them has even stepped into the Grandmasters Realm.
As the car sped along, by the time Ethan arrived in Flood Dragon Village, it was already getting dark.
“As expected of the martial arts village, one can feel the strong fluctuations in the air as soon as they get off the car,” Edward sniffed and said.
Ethan remained silent, looked at his watch, and said, “There is a street in Flood Dragon Village called Divine Dragon Street, where rare treasures often appear.”
Hearing this, Edward’s face changed slightly.
He whispered, “Mr. Smith, I’ve been investigating Flood Dragon Village these days, and I have some understanding of this Divine Dragon Street too.”
“Oh?” Ethan raised his eyebrows, signaling Edward to continue.
Edward continued, “In order to stimulate the development of martial arts, Flood Dragon Village has established different rules on Divine Dragon Street.”
“It is said that as long as you are strong enough, you can engage in ruthless buying and selling, and even rob houses. As long as you don’t kill anyone, no one will interfere.”
A look of surprise flashed across Ethan’s face.
He was somewhat startled by this.
Usually, such streets would be managed by some people, afraid of others breaking the rules and killing for goods.
But Flood Dragon Village unexpectedly does the opposite, which is unheard of.
“If that’s the case, who would dare to go there with weak strength?” Ethan frowned and asked.
Edward nodded, “Yes, that’s why a special industry similar to bodyguards has arisen in Flood Dragon Village. As long as you have money, you can hire experts to go to Divine Dragon Street.”
Ethan stroked his chin and said, “Then why don’t these hired experts rob Divine Dragon Street themselves? Wouldn’t that make them money faster?”
“Indeed,” Edward nodded slightly.
“Such things have happened before. When a treasure is tempting enough, the so-called bodyguards will instantly turn into executioners with blades in hand.”
“So, in the end, it’s still more reliable to have your own abilities.”
Ethan agreed.
“Divine Dragon Street truly is unconventional… Let’s go, we’ll head to Divine Dragon Street.” Ethan waved his hand and said.
Edward was immediately rendered speechless.
His purpose in saying all this was just to dissuade Ethan from going.Unable to resist, Ethan Smith’s desire was aroused.
“Damn it, I’ll go all out if I have to!” Edward Green muttered.
He knew that Ethan Smith wouldn’t listen to any advice, so he could only follow along.
The three of them drove toward Divine Dragon Street.
Soon, the trio appeared near Divine Dragon Street.
As soon as they got out of the car, Ethan Smith sensed several powerful auras.
The majority were Grandmasters, few were Masters, and Ethan Smith only found three in the Grandmaster Realm.
“Mr. Smith, are we really going in? How about… you put on the green hat?” Edward Green pulled a prepared magical artifact hat from his palm.
Ethan Smith rolled his eyes and said, “You’d better wear it yourself.”
After dropping this sentence, Ethan Smith strode toward Divine Dragon Street.
Although Divine Dragon Street was known as a treasure trove, it was still in Chuzzle, with limited resources, so there weren’t many treasures on the street.
What could be seen everywhere were herbs of several decades or even a century old.
For Ethan Smith now, they held no attraction at all.
Walking down this street, Edward Green looked terrified and trembled.
His eyes darted everywhere, fearing someone would attack.
“Hello.”
At this moment, someone patted Edward Green on the shoulder.
Edward Green suddenly turned around and scolded loudly, “What do you want?! I’ll have you know, I’m not afraid of you!”
The other party hesitated, looking puzzled, “I just wanted to ask if you need any herbs. I just picked them fresh from the mountain. Why are you so nervous?”
Edward Green wiped the sweat from his forehead, embarrassedly saying, “I’m sorry… ”
“You’re sweating so much from your forehead, you must be having kidney deficiency. My herbs nourish yin and supplement yang, do you want to buy some?” the other person said with a smile.
“You’re the one with kidney deficiency! Get lost!” Edward Green scolded impatiently.
Seeing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.
Now, Edward Green was clearly terrified, seeing enemies in every shadow.
Continuing forward, the surrounding gazes became increasingly hostile.
Ethan Smith could clearly feel dozens of eyes on him from both sides of the street.
“Mr. Smith, I suddenly feel so cold…” Edward Green whispered, grabbing Ethan Smith’s arm.
Ethan Smith appeared nonchalant, walking leisurely.
“Is that person Ethan Smith?” someone whispered in the darkness.
“It looks like it is! And the sleazy guy next to him is said to be his follower.”
“Right, if it weren’t for that white, sleazy guy, I wouldn’t dare to be sure, but now I’m certain that’s Ethan Smith!”
Edward Green’s face flushed with anger.
“Mr. Smith, am I sleazy?” Edward Green muttered.
Before Ethan Smith could reply, Sofia Carrillo beside them seriously nodded, “Quite sleazy.”
The surrounding whispers grew louder and louder, like a surging tide, nearly drowning Ethan Smith.
But Ethan Smith didn’t care at all and continued walking down Divine Dragon Street.
“Pfft!”
At this moment, Ethan Smith coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.
“Ethan Smith is vomiting blood; it seems the rumors are true.”
“This guy seems to be seriously injured!”
“Now is the perfect time to kill him!”
