Chapter 261: 261: Willing to be Punished if I Fail

William Richardson said solemnly, “How about we get you settled into the war zone for now? Even the tyrannical Halcroen Sect wouldn’t dare to oppose the

war zone.”

“That would be unnecessary.” Ethan Smith laughed.

“Oh, according to our agreement, today is the day I am supposed to go to the war zone, isn’t it?” Ethan Smith suddenly remembered.

William Richardson nodded and said, “I came here for that. If it’s convenient, we should leave now.”

Ethan Smith nodded, “No problem.”

“Clare, let’s go.” William Richardson called out in the direction of Clare Richardson.

Clare opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

“Whatever you want to say, just go ahead. ” Ethan Smith laughed.

Clare waved her hand like a little adult and said, “Never mind, I already promised you that I’d listen to my dad. I’ll stick to my word.”

“Impressive, you are really true to your word.” Ethan Smith teased.

“Of course! How else could I survive in this world?” Clare sniffed her little nose with a proud look.

It has to be said that in this aspect, many adults are not as good as Clare.

The car sped all the way to the war zone.

The war zone was under very strict control, and at the gate were two fully armed soldiers, and an invisible sense of oppression followed.

After the car passed, William Richardson showed his identity, and the gate slowly opened.

In the office, Commander Keller and Ari Steele were waiting early.

When Ari Steele saw Ethan Smith, he ran over excitedly.

“Mr. Smith, the story of your exploits has been spreading nonstop. I’m almost growing a callus in my ears.” Ari Steele said with a respectful face.

Ethan Smith laughed, “Mr. Steele, don’t tease me.”

“No, no, no.” Ari Steele quickly shook his head.

“I’m serious about wanting you to be my mentor!” Ari Steele’s eyes were filled with adoration.

“Enough, Ethan Smith is here for official business today, don’t fool around.” Commander Keller chided from the side.

Ari Steele sulkily went to stand to the side.

“Old Keller, I’ll leave everything here to you.” William Richardson said to Commander Keller.

Commander Keller nodded, “Officer Richardson, rest assured!”

It’s clear that William Richardson has indeed stepped back, if not in actual power, then almost.

After William Richardson left, Commander Keller invited Ethan Smith into the guest room and brewed a pot of good tea.

Ari Steele was pouring tea at the side, while Commander Keller sighed, “Who could have imagined that you would grow so fast.”

Ethan Smith responded with a bitter smile, “Commander Keller, spare me the sarcasm, let’s talk business.”

Commander Keller nodded and said seriously, “According to your request, we plan to invite you to become a special coach for the Chuzzle War Zone.” “Special coach?” Ethan Smith was somewhat surprised.

Commander Keller nodded, “Every year, Pyro holds a competition among the major war zones, and Chuzzle has always been a weak spot in terms of military strength. Except for Conrad Schroeder, almost no one else is worth mentioning.”

“Conrad Schroeder, as a businessman, focuses all his efforts on the family, deciding to ignore the invitations from war zones continually.” “This has led to Chuzzle War Zone being at the tail-end.”

Ethan Smith suddenly realized.

After taking a sip of tea, he asked, “Commander Keller, can you tell me what the average strength of the fighters is?”

Commander Keller responded with a bitter smile, “The average strength of the participating team has just barely reached the level of a Master.”

Ethan Smith expressed surprise, “Is it really that weak?”

Commander Keller rolled his eyes and said, “Did you think martial artists are as common as cabbages?

Ethan Smith stroked his chin, realizing it made sense then.

The reason why Ethan Smith felt there were so many was because he had stepped on this path and entered this circle.

At the time when Ethan Smith was still an average person, he had never come across a martial artist.

This just goes to show that martial artists are rare.

“Commander Keller, may I boldly ask, which war zone is currently performing best?” asked Ethan Smith.

“Does that even need to be asked? Of course, it’s the Capital City War Zone!” Before Commander Keller could reply, Ari Steele spoke up.

Commander Keller nodded, “That’s right, after all, the Capital City War Zone has produced an Ignacio Burke. Ignacio Burke has already left them with many body cultivation skills.”

“Which has led to the Capital City War Zone always leading the way.” Ethan Smith scratched his chin.

If it’s about cultivation skills, Ethan Smith isn’t afraid of anyone.

Even if it’s those top-ranked aristocrats in the Capital City, Ethan Smith didn’t feel they were stronger than him.

Finding the right one for these fighters is not that easy, though. “Ethan, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” Commander Keller said.

“The top executives don’t require much of you. As long as we’re not last this year, that would be enough,” Commander Keller said with some bitterness.

Ethan Smith didn’t answer this, he asked instead, “Commander Keller, how much time is left till the competition?”

Commander Keller pondered, “Based on the usual schedule, it should be at the end of the year.”

The end of the year…

Ethan Smith calculated in his mind, two months were left.

That was enough.

The numerous techniques left by his father’s legacy would be enough to result in breakthrough progress for the fighters.

Even if all else fails, Ethan Smith could still use alchemy to forcibly enhance the combat effectiveness of the fighters.

“Here’s what we’ll do. A month from now, I will conduct special training for the fighters.” Ethan Smith said.

“A month later?” Commander Keller was clearly surprised.

He tactfully said, “Ethan Smith, although the requirement isn’t high, having a better result would naturally be splendid…”

Standing up, Ethan Smith said with a light smile, “I will make Chuzzle War Zone win first place in this competition.”

“What? First place?!” Commander Keller stood up abruptly.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Yes, first place.”

Meanwhile, Ari Steele laughed nervously, “Mr. Smith, no offense, although you’re currently very strong, compared to Ignacio Burke… you still fall quite short.”

Ethan Smith laughed, “Indeed, when it comes to strength, I certainly can’t compare with Ignacio, the War God.”

“However, if we talk about the foundation of the cultivation skills… Ignacio, the War God, might not be my match.” Ethan Smith said with a faint smile.

Commander Keller and Ari Steele suddenly exchanged glances, evident they didn’t believe him.

Ethan Smith didn’t bother explaining, he stood up and said, “If I can’t get first place, Commander Keller can hold me accountable.”

Seeing that Ethan Smith was so confident, Commander Keller didn’t say anything more.

“Ethan Smith, if you can really get first place, you’ll be a hero of Chuzzle’s war zone. We’ll definitely reward you!” Commander Keller assured earnestly.

“We don’t need any rewards, it’s just a contribution to the country.” Ethan Smith laughed.

Ethan Smith didn’t stay long in the Chuzzle war zone and didn’t even visit the special combat team. He left.

“Commander Keller, do you think what Mr. Smith said is true?” After Ethan Smith left, Ari Steele couldn’t help but ask.

Commander Keller responded with a bitter smile, “Success at a young age can make one complacent. Clearly, Ethan Smith doesn’t know what the name Ignacio Burke signifies….”
