Chapter 409: 409: Ashton Nicholson’s Request

“Ethan Smith… actually dared to hit you?” Kylan Taylor stared wide-eyed.

Zaria nodded her head, pointed at her own face, and said, “Not only did he hit me, but he also humiliated me. Master, no matter what, we must get rid of this Ethan Smith!”

Kylan Taylor’s eyes slightly narrowed.

It was clear that Ethan Smith’s actions had gone beyond his expectations.

“This Ethan Smith… really can’t be left unchecked!” Kylan Taylor’s pupils flashed with murderous intent.

The news of Ethan Smith killing more than a dozen Grandmasters finally spread on the Martial Arts Forum.

For a time, various rumors appeared on the forum.

Some said there was an expert behind Ethan Smith, while others said it was not Ethan Smith who took action that day, but someone else behind him.

However, in the end, these arguments were all debunked one by one and eventually formed a single view:

Ethan Smith’s sudden increase in strength was due to the heart method he obtained from the stairway to heaven!

It seemed as if someone was deliberately stirring up trouble in secret. Numerous people were exaggerating the use of the heart method.

“Obviously, someone is trying to set the rhythm on purpose.” Seeing the posts on the forum, Edward Green commented with a low voice.

“Indeed, someone wants to borrow a knife to kill.”

“After all, only Mr. Smith has obtained the heart method, and no one knows exactly how effective it is.”

“If it’s really as they say, then there will definitely be people with greedy intentions trying to make a move for the heart method.”

At this point, Edward Green turned to Ethan Smith with an anxious expression, “Mr. Smith, should we respond to this? At least to clarify the facts.”

Ethan Smith stretched lazily and said, “We should indeed respond. Hmm…Edward Green, help me post a message—say that…indeed, this cultivation skill has brought me tremendous benefits.”

Hearing Ethan Smith’s words, Edward Green’s and Sofia Carrillo’s eyes widened in shock.

“Mr. Smith, isn’t this luring a fire onto yourself?” Edward Green asked in confusion.

Ethan Smith sneered, “That’s right, I want them to come and kill me.”

At this point, Ethan Smith just didn’t have a good way to practice.

Having people come to kill him was a good opportunity.

As long as he had the Heaven Swallowing Skill, the more people who came, the more excited Ethan Smith would be.

Edward Green didn’t quite understand Ethan Smith’s thoughts and was waiting for Ethan Smith to clear up his doubts.

But Ethan Smith just waved his hand and said, “Just do as I said.”

“By the way, tell them where I am. I’ll be going to Unchon soon.”

Edward Green wanted to ask something else but was interrupted by Ethan Smith’s wave.

With no choice, Edward Green followed Ethan Smith’s instructions.

The Master’s response obviously caused an uproar.

For a moment, the Martial Arts Forum was filled with discussions about this heart method.

The next day.

Ethan Smith tidied up and prepared to go to Unchon.

Cato Cain’s grudge had never been forgotten by Ethan Smith.

Ethan had been helped by Cato Cain through several difficult situations, and he would never forget this debt of gratitude.

“Colt Kirby, it’s time for you to pay the price,” a cold glint flickered in Ethan Smith’s eyes.

Just as Ethan Smith was preparing to head to Unchon, his cell phone rang all of a sudden.

He picked up his phone and saw that the caller was the long-lost Ashton Nicholson!

When Ethan Smith was in trouble, Ashton Nicholson insisted on standing by him and ended up being severely injured by Conrad Schroeder.

Since then, their relationship had faded away.

Now, Ashton Nicholson suddenly called, and Ethan Smith was quite surprised.

He picked up the phone and chuckled, “Ashton, what made you call me all of a sudden?”

On the other end of the line, Ashton Nicholson hesitated and asked, “Mr. Smith, are you busy lately?”

Ethan Smith laughed, “Just tell me directly if you have something to say, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Ashton Nicholson hesitated for a moment and said, “I do have a small favor to ask of you, if it’s not too inconvenient.”

“Alright, go ahead and say it.” Ethan Smith agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ashton Nicholson couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

He then relayed the situation to Ethan Smith.

Ever since he offended Conrad Schroeder, the Nicholson family had suffered several setbacks. Even though their situation hadn’t reached a hopeless state, it was not far off.

Although Ethan Smith had later settled things with Conrad Schroeder, no one truly cared about the insignificant Nicholson family.

At present, Ashton Nicholson and his father struggled to support the Nicholson family, and many business deals required Ashton’s personal involvement.

“I’ll be meeting a potential partner tonight, but they have a high status, so I’d like you to accompany me,” Ashton said.

Ethan Smith chuckled and said, “Of course, tell me the time and place.”

Ashton Nicholson was overjoyed and quickly told Ethan Smith the details.

Afterward, Ashton Nicholson expressed his gratitude, “Mr. Smith, thank you.”

Ethan Smith, feeling slightly guilty responded, “Ashton, don’t be so courteous, if it weren’t for me, the Nicholson family wouldn’t be in their current state.”

After hanging up the phone, Ethan Smith let out a sigh.

Unknown to him, many once-close relationships had gradually become estranged due to changes in status and position.

Because of Ashton’s request, Ethan Smith’s trip to Unchon had to be postponed by a day.

In the evening.

Ethan Smith followed Ashton Nicholson’s address and drove to the restaurant.

When Ethan Smith arrived at the restaurant, Ashton Nicholson was already waiting for him.

Seeing Ethan Smith, Ashton Nicholson quickly stood up with respect and said, “Mr. Smith.”

Ethan Smith’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Having not seen him for a year, Ashton Nicholson seemed to have experienced considerable changes.

Ethan Smith tried to feel Ashton Nicholson’s aura, finding it stagnant in the Grandmaster Realm.

“You…are you encountering a bottleneck?” Ethan Smith frowned.

Ashton Nicholson waved his hand and chuckled bitterly, “After going through these hardships, how could I still have time to cultivate?”

Hearing that, Ethan Smith felt even more guilt.

Once, Ashton Nicholson had been a proud and talented youth in Shiglance City, but now he had fallen into such a state.

“I’m sorry, it’s my negligence. But… why didn’t you come to find me?” Ethan Smith asked with a furrowed brow.

Ashton Nicholson let out a bitter laugh, “My father caused such a big fuss with you back then, how could I have the face to find you?”

Ethan Smith opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

“Alright, let’s not talk about the past anymore. Mr. Smith, I’m already very grateful that you can help me,” Ashton Nicholson smiled.

“As long as we can secure this deal, our Nicholson family still has a chance to regain our footing,” Ashton Nicholson said proudly.

Ethan Smith nodded his head, then patted Ashton’s shoulder and said, “I’ll greet Conrad Schroeder on your behalf.”

As the two were talking, someone suddenly pushed the door open and entered the private room.

Then, a young man swaggered in.

Upon seeing this young man, Ethan Smith’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

It was not someone else but the same young man who harassed Evelyn Norton that day!

“It’s you?!” Seeing Ethan Smith, the young man’s face instantly showed a trace of anger!
