Chapter 142 - 142: 142: Attention to the Battle Zone

Lying on the ground, Declan Steele had blood spilling from his mouth, and he felt a sharp recurring pain in his chest!

“Ari Steele!” Commander Keller quickly stood up, his face filled with anxiety.

“No need to worry, he has just broken a few ribs.” Smith took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Commander Keller’s face turned sour, and with a tinge of displeasure, he said, “Ethan, even if you want to prove yourself, there is no need to be so cruel, is there?”

Ethan furrowed his brows, just about to speak, when Declan Steele from afar suddenly shouted, “Commander Keller! This has nothing to do with Mr. Smith, I am completely convinced!”

Afterwards, despite the pain, Declan Steele managed to get up from the ground and gave Smith a bow, “Mr. Smith, I was indeed rude just now, I hope you can forgive me.”

This surprised Ethan; Declan’s attitude before and after the duel was like night and day.

Looking at Declan Steele, he laughed and said, “I hurt you and you are not angry?”

Declan shook his head, “It was indeed I who provoked the situation first, and besides, I feel that you had held back.”

Ethan Smith nodded and replied, “I only used 30% of my power.” Hearing this, Declan Steele couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

“I was indeed too arrogant and ignorant.” Declan Steele laughed bitterly.

The attitude of Declan Steele made Ethan Smith appreciate him a little bit more.

Even though Declan was arrogant, he admitted his mistakes and knew when to submit to a bet. At the very least, he was a man of honor.

Commander Keller who was standing nearby also shook his head saying, “This is just how Ari Steele is, he respects the strong.”

Ethan Smith slightly leaned forward, saying, “Please wait a moment, Mr.

Steele.”

Then, Ethan turned and went back to his room.

He took out a few herbs from the storage room, spread his palm slightly, and a spiritual fire danced in the center of his palm.

Ethan flicked his fingers, and the spiritual fire landed in the vessel.

With the aid of the spiritual fire, the speed at which Smith made the ‘Soothing’ increased several times. It was a pity that it was too unstable. After multiple attempts, the herbs were completely destroyed.

Finally, on the sixth attempt, Ethan Smith successfully produced the ‘Soothing’ pill.

“Damn, controlling this spiritual fire is really difficult.” Ethan couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.

Then, Ethan Smith came out with the ‘Soothing’ pill.

He gave the ‘Soothing’ pill to Declan Steele and chuckled, “After eating this, the pain in your body will disappear.”

Declan Steele took the ‘Soothing’ pill, swallowed it with some suspicion. A few minutes later, indeed the pain in his chest vanished completely.

“It actually worked!” Admiration shone in Declan’s face!

Immediately, he bowed and said, “Mr. Smith, I am completely convinced, I misunderstood you earlier and here I offer my sincere apology.”

Ethan Smith waved his hand to show that he didn’t mind.

Then Ethan Smith said, “Take this ‘Soothing’ pill once a day, for three days at most, and your ribs will be as good as new.”

“Thank you, Mr. Smith.” Declan said sincerely.

Commander Keller, who was standing nearby, also couldn’t help sighing, “It seems that Chief Richardson was right, Ethan Smith is indeed skilled in both medicine and martial arts! This trip wasn’t in vain!”

Ethan Smith, however, fell silent.

After a while, Ethan Smith shook his head, “Commander Keller, I am sorry, I

am not interested in the battle zone, could you please tell Chief Richardson that I appreciate his kind intentions.”

Commander Keller was taken aback and then jokingly said, “Ethan, it’s time to put away the act, isn’t it? You can’t stay aloof forever.”

On one side, a desperate Declan Steele said, “Mr. Smith, are you still blaming me? If that’s the case, I am willing to accept any punishment you give.”

Ethan quickly shook his head saying, “It has nothing to do with you, it’s just that I am used to my freedom and donlt like being restrained. I apologize.”

Commander Keller was silent for a moment, and then he said, “Ethan Smith, have you really thought this through? Joining the battle zone would only bring you benefits.”

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Commander Keller, but for now, I will not consider going to the battle zone. I am sorry.” Ethan Smith refused again.

Seeing this, Commander Keller could only sigh slightly and say, “It seems I’m going to have a hard time justifying this when I go back.”

Ethan Smith didn’t say a word. Whether Commander Keller could justify himself or not, had nothing to do with him,

The current Ethan Smith, indeed, is not suitable for the battle zone. Even though the resources in the battle zone are plenty, the restrictions are also substantial.

The most important reason is that Ethan Smith feels even if he goes to the battle zone, he won’t necessarily gain much attention.

Seeing this, Commander Keller had nothing more to say. After finishing his last cup of tea, he quickly left with Declan Steele.

After getting back, Commander Keller quickly reported Ethan Smith’s attitude to the Deputy Chief.

The Deputy Chief was somewhat surprised at Ethan Smith’s refusal. After all, countless people are dying to go to the battle zone.

“I’ll invite him in person.” The Deputy Chief said on the other end.

Upon hearing this, Commander Keller couldn’t hide his surprise, “Deputy Chief, Ethan Smith’s abilities and talents are indeed commendable, but aren’t we making a big deal out of it?”

The Deputy Chief chuckled, “You don’t understand. Ethan Smith’s capabilities are far beyond this.”

“As far as we know, the overseas Grandmaster who died not long ago, was killed by Ethan Smith.”

“Grandmaster?” Commander Keller’s face changed instantly.

“You must be joking. Judging from his Qi, Ethan Smith is just an Inner Strength Master. How could he defeat a Grandmaster…” Commander Keller said awkwardly.

Although he’s not a martial artist himself, he understands the huge gap between them.

The Deputy Chief laughed heartily, “This is precisely why we value him. Inner

Strength Masters are given due respect, but only a few have ever defeated a Grandmaster.”

“As far as I know, except for Ignacio Burke back then, no one could have bridged this gap.” The Deputy Chief commented lightly.

Ignacio Burke?

Commander Keller swallowed.

“Deputy Chief, isn’t your evaluation a bit high … Ignacio Burke is a legend in the battle zone…” Commander Keller voiced some doubts.

On the other end, the Deputy Chief laughed heartily, “While he indeed can’t compare to Ignacio Burke now, the future is uncertain. Also… this Ethan Smith Imows how to make medicines. The Soul Nourishment Pill he makes is the rage all over the state, and the commercial department plans to provide key

support.

Pausing briefly, the Deputy Chief carried on, “By the way, you’re accompanying me to his factory for a visit tomorrow.”

“Understood!” Commander Keller did not say more, but simply gave an affirmative response.

At night, Ethan Smith sat alone in the courtyard.

In his palm was a flicker of flame, and in front of him were regular herbs.

These ordinary herbs were carefully prepared by Ray Walters, even though they are not considered to be of high grade, they were perfect for practice.

“Whoosh”

A breeze blew past, and the herbs in front of Ethan Smith were instantly burned to ash by the spiritual fire.

“Failed again.” Seeing the ashes in front of him, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but bitterly smile.

Ethan had just started to control the spiritual fire. His control over the temperature was still not skilled enough, and out of the dozens of times he refined, he only succeeded once.

“This instability may cause unexpected outcomes at the Traditional Medicine Conference.” Ethan thought to himself.

There was less than a week left till the Traditional Medicine Conference. With such a short period, it was almost impossible to improve his control ability.

“It seems like I’ll have to use regular fire for now.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but wryly smile.

Even though this process is a bit slower, at least it’s reliable.

All night, Ethan Smith didn’t sleep, neither did Edward Green return.

Early the next morning, Ethan Smith headed towards the factory.

As the Traditional Medicine Conference approached, Ethan wanted to go and find Elder Hansen to understand some details.

During this period, Elder Hansen poured all his time into the factory. With Ethan’s Pill formula, Elder Hansen could easily produce the Soul Nourishment

Pill.

Soon, Ethan Smith’s car arrived at the factory entrance.

But just as he reached the entrance, Ethan Smith saw a group of people standing there, led by none other than Daxon Johnson from the Johnson family..
