Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 166 - 166: 166: William Richardson s

The glow around him grew stronger and stronger.

Ethan Smith was completely unaware of this, only feeling an intense burning sensation throughout his body, as if he was going to explode. Even his forehead was covered in layers of sweat!

“Buzz!”

An hour later, the golden light around him began to converge on Ethan Smith as the center!

All the light gathered directly onto Ethan Smith’s body, finally merging with his skin.

Ethan Smith abruptly opened his eyes!

He looked down at his skin and, for some reason, it seemed as if his pores had gotten smaller.

Moreover… there was an elusive dark gold color on his body.

“What’s going on?” Ethan Smith’s brow furrowed.

The Foundation Establishment Stage was the foundation of cultivation, and the true beginning of stepping onto the path of cultivation.

It was said that everyone’s potential would begin to show in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At this moment, Ethan Smith had a strong feeling that his flesh and body had become countless times stronger!

Especially when he saw the elusive dark golden color, this feeling became even stronger.

Ethan Smith stood up and grabbed a fruit knife nearby, fiercely stabbing it toward his own arm!

“Clang! ”

A sound like steel striking steel rang out!

Looking at Ethan Smith’s arm, not even the skin was broken, just leaving a white mark.

“My flesh… has indeed become much stronger.” Ethan Smith thought quietly. This made him faintly excited. As long as his flesh was strong enough, his strength would naturally soar!

Otherwise, the Cross-training Master wouldn’t be in such high demand!

“With this flesh, combined with the Saintly Body Skill, I wonder how strong my body will become,” Ethan Smith secretly thought in his heart.

The only thing that displeased Ethan Smith was that the eight Foundation Establishment Pills only increased his cultivation by one stage.

Normally, eight Foundation Establishment Pills should have at least increased his cultivation by two stages.

“If it continues like this, I don’t know how many herbs I’ll have to consume in the future.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

By now, the sky was almost bright and Elder Hansen was still asleep, so Ethan Smith tiptoed out of the room and left the hotel.

Ethan Smith drove to a nearby park.

The park was full of trees, and Ethan Smith clenched his fist, suddenly smashing it against a large tree!

That big tree, thick enough to be embraced by one person, unexpectedly collapsed with a bang!

The elderly people doing morning exercises nearby were all stupefied. How did such a thick tree suddenly fall?

Ethan Smith felt somewhat embarrassed. Not daring to linger, he turned and walked away.

On the way back, Ethan Smith muttered quietly, “That’s ridiculous; I only used less than 10% of my strength…”

He didn’t really want to destroy public property, but his strength was too great.

“I’ll have to find an opportunity to compensate them later,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

After arriving home, Ethan Smith suddenly received a phone call.

Picking up the phone and checking, the call turned out to be from William Richardson.

Ethan Smith’s brow furrowed slightly.

Due to their previous conflict, Ethan Smith didn’t have a good impression of William Richardson.

However, after pondering for a moment, Ethan Smith still answered the call.

“Uncle William, do you need anything from me?” Ethan Smith asked directly.

William Richardson on the other end laughed, “Ethan, you’ve really made a name for yourself recently.”

Ethan Smith responded with a mock smile, “Uncle William, don’t make fun of me. I’m just a worthless loser; what kind of name could I possibly make for myself?”

This remark was clearly sarcastic, and William Richardson chuckled bitterly, “Alright, you still hold a grudge? I misjudged you back then, and I’m apologizing to you now.”

Ethan Smith wasn’t an unreasonable person, and since William Richardson had spoken these words, if Ethan Smith continued to be unforgiving, it would make him seem petty.

So, Ethan Smith smiled and said, “Uncle William, I was just joking with you. Is there something you need? If you want to bring me into the battle zone, you don’t need to mention it.”

William Richardson burst into laughter on the other end, “You’re really something else. Most people would do anything for an official position, but you’re just the opposite, avoiding it.”

Ethan Smith laughed bitterly. Once it involved the government, many things would become more complicated.

“Alright, let’s get to the point,” William Richardson said seriously on the other end.

“I’m calling you this time because of a personal matter,” William Richardson said.

Ethan Smith replied, “Uncle William, just tell me what it is.”

William Richardson explained, “My daughter hasn’t been able to rest well recently, having nightmares every night. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but this situation has been going on for an entire month. Her health is getting worse by the day.”

Pausing for a moment, William Richardson then jokingly said, “I originally sought Dorian Dawson’s help, but because of you, he’s already been taken in, so you have to take responsibility for this.”

Ethan Smith laughed, “Alright, when do you have time, and I’ll go over?”

“No problem!” William Richardson agreed immediately, “If it’s convenient for you, it would be best to come tonight.”

“Alright, see you tonight,” Ethan Smith agreed.

At dusk, Ethan Smith, following the address provided by William Richardson, personally drove to William Richardson’s home.

William Richardson didn’t live in an apartment complex, but in a relatively remote residential unit.

Although the house wasn’t as luxurious as a mansion, it had everything one could need, and the surrounding scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

The moment Ethan Smith got out of the car, his brows furrowed.

He sniffed hard and muttered, “That’s not right, with such a good environment, the qi should be rich, but… not only can I not feel any qi here, it even feels suffocating and lifeless.”

Ethan Smith parked the car and walked straight into William Richardson’s home.

William Richardson had already prepared a meal, and although it was just simple home-cooked dishes, it was very abundant.

Moreover, William Richardson had brought out a good bottle of wine to wait for Ethan Smith’s arrival.

“Ethan, you’re finally here,” William Richardson said with a smile.

“Uncle William,” Ethan Smith walked over and greeted him.

William Richardson immediately pulled Ethan Smith to sit down and then poured him a glass of wine.

“Let’s eat first and talk while we do so!” William Richardson laughed.

Ethan Smith didn’t hold back and immediately drank with William Richardson at the table.

After drinking three glasses of wine, William Richardson’s face gradually reddened.

He slapped Ethan Smith on the shoulder and sighed, “At first, I was really blind, almost missing out on such a good seed like you. Speaking of which, it’s

Miss Taylor who really has a keen eye.”

About this matter, Ethan Smith was also quite puzzled.

What could possibly explain the high regard that Emily Taylor, an aloof young lady, held for him?

Speaking unpleasantly, Ethan Smith back then couldn’t even look up to himself.

“Without Miss Taylor, there wouldn’t be the me of today,” Ethan Smith said seriously after taking a deep breath.

All of Ethan Smith’s self-esteem, confidence, and hope came from Emily Taylor.

Before Emily Taylor appeared, Ethan Smith’s life was full of darkness.

Just then, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with twin ponytails entered the room.

As soon as she entered, she stared at Ethan Smith and said, “Are you the Ethan

Smith who is dating Emily?”
