Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 490
Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Half-step Martial Marquis, No Big Deal_1
Under the watch of the two of them, the door slowly opened.
Afterward, Ethan Smith slowly walked out.
Fifth Elder hastily stood up and grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm.
His face flushed with excitement, tears filled his eyes as he trembled, “Ethan Smith, you… you finally finished your seclusion…”
As he spoke, Fifth Elder’s face was covered in tear streaks, with snot running just as freely.
Ethan Smith was dumbfounded as he asked blankly, “Fifth Elder, what’s wrong with you?”
Immediately after, he saw Second Elder with injuries all over his body.
Ethan Smith hurriedly helped Second Elder up and anxiously asked, “Second Elder, what… what happened? Who did this to you?”
Second Elder grabbed Ethan Smith’s hand and coldly said, “Ethan Smith, no matter what, you have to take revenge!”
“What on earth is going on?” Ethan Smith faintly sensed that something was not quite right.
Second Elder and Fifth Elder immediately recounted the events to Ethan Smith.
As they spoke, Ethan Smith grew angrier the more he listened, feeling a murderous spirit rapidly engulfing him!
“You’re saying… the Pavilion Master was captured by the Great Saint Sect?” Ethan Smith’s face was extremely ugly!
The Pavilion Master had greatly favored Ethan Smith, not only saving him numerous times from the fire and water but also providing him with generous resources!
Such kindness, Ethan Smith would never forget!
“If it weren’t for First Elder poisoning him in secret, those half-step Martial Marquis wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Lord Pavilion Master!” Second Elder angrily said.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath.
Suppressing his anger, he bent down and said, “Second Elder, you should rest and recuperate. I’ll go kill First Elder right away!”
“As for the Great Saint Sect… I, Ethan Smith, will definitely pay them a visit!”
No matter what, Ethan Smith would not let the Pavilion Master come to harm!
“Fifth Elder, I’ll leave Second Elder in your care,” Ethan Smith looked at Fifth Elder.
Fifth Elder nodded, “Alright, take care of yourself.”
Without saying anything else, Ethan Smith turned and headed towards the Pavilion Master Building.
At the Pavilion Master Building.
First Elder was comfortably lying in a rocking chair.
In front of him was a pot of black tea, which used to be the Pavilion Master’s favorite drink.
Furthermore, two attendants were waiting on him by his side.
The attendants’ faces were filled with terror. They dared not speak up against the First Elder now.
“What, are you unwilling to serve me?” First Elder coldly asked.
The attendants hurriedly stood up and whispered, “No… we don’t dare.”
“Remember, from today on I am the new Pavilion Master of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion!” First Elder coldly declared.
“If you want to live, it’s best you forget Martha Evans!”
The attendants remained silent as they knelt in front of First Elder, tending to him cautiously.
At this moment, First Elder had a lingering sense of worry in his heart.
According to the timeline, Ethan Smith should be coming out of seclusion the next day.
If he managed to reach the half-step Martial Marquis level, there was no way First Elder could handle him.
“I hope the people from Halcroen Sect won’t let me down,” First Elder thought to himself.
Just then, he suddenly felt an intense murderous spirit closing in!
Like a cold wave, it chilled First Elder to his core!
He hastily got up and shouted, “Who’s there?”
“Your killer!”
A cold voice rang out through the darkness.
Looking over, they saw a young man standing on the Pavilion Master Building.
The young man had an icy expression, clenched fists, and a terrifying aura that made it difficult to breathe!
“Et… Ethan Smith!”
When First Elder recognized who it was, his face changed drastically!
Ethan Smith stepped forward, gritting his teeth, “Pavilion Master has always held you in high esteem, and yet you collaborated with the Great Saint Sect to commit such treachery.”
“First Elder, what punishment do you deserve!”
With a roar, First Elder’s soul seemed to leave his body!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he tried to maintain his composure, “Ethan Smith, things aren’t as you imagine…”
“Slap!”
Before First Elder could finish speaking, a golden light fiercely struck his face!
“You damned beast!” Ethan Smith said through gritted teeth.
First Elder covered his face, fuming with anger, “How dare you hit me? Ethan Smith, even if you broke through, I’m not afraid of you! I’m also a half-step Martial Marquis!”
“Half your momma!”
A roar filled with spiritual power unleashed a torrent of overwhelming force!
First Elder felt a sweetness in his throat and actually spat out a mouthful of blood!
Merely by shouting, Ethan Smith managed to injure the First Elder—how strong was he?!
Bear in mind, First Elder was a genuine half-step Martial Marquis!
“You…” Feeling the power within Ethan Smith, First Elder’s face became even more unpleasant.
As for Ethan Smith, his expression remained cold, and when he looked at First Elder, it was as if he was staring at a mere ant.
“Half-step Martial Marquis? That’s all you are,” Ethan Smith coldly said.
First Elder’s face darkened and his thoughts raced.
A moment later, First Elder put on a new expression and smiled ingratiatingly, “Ethan Smith, this… this is actually a misunderstanding… just hear me out…”
“Explain?” Ethan Smith scoffed.
He suddenly extended a finger, and two golden lights burst forth!
“Crack!”
In a blink of an eye, First Elder’s kneecaps were instantly shattered, and with a “thump,” he knelt on the ground!
“Kneel down before you speak!” Ethan Smith coldly ordered.
First Elder’s face was the epitome of ugliness! As an esteemed half-step Martial Marquis, he had never experienced such humiliation!
What frightened him even more was that the Ethan Smith opposite him was like an ocean, impossible to gauge his true strength!
“Ethan Smith, this has nothing to do with me. The Great Saint Sect forced me… ” First Elder hurriedly tried to defend himself.
He raged inwardly, as long as he endured this day, when the ten half-step Martial Marquis from Halcroen Sect arrived, everything could change!’
Thus, right now, First Elder was desperate to calm Ethan Smith down!
But how could Ethan Smith give him a chance? He slowly walked to First Elder’s front, coldly saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so quickly. I will torture you slowly and make you kneel in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion’s square for the rest of your life…”
“Ethan Smith, don’t… don’t be impulsive! We… let’s talk!” First Elder’s face contorted with panic!
Ethan Smith sneered, “Talk your momma! A beast like you deserves to die ten times over.”
Feeling Ethan Smith’s killing intent, First Elder looked even more terrible.
He gritted his teeth and yelled, “I am a dignified half-step Martial Marquis! Ethan Smith, you should not go too far!”
“Half-step Martial Marquis? So what?” Ethan Smith coldly retorted.
“In my eyes, you are nothing but an insignificant ant.”
At this, First Elder became furious. He burst his Inner Strength, and a brilliant light swirled around his palms.
“I refuse to believe you’re invincible!” First Elder roared angrily, then shoved his palm towards Ethan Smith!
Ethan Smith stood there without moving, allowing First Elder’s palm to press against him.
