Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 383: 383: A Critical Moment, Imminent Danger!_1

“Why, has your defense been shattered?” Ethan sneered.

With great anger, Dexter suppressed his rage and said, “What’s the point of provoking me? I don’t believe you can hide in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion for the rest of your life!”

“You must have heard about my wedding with Emily Taylor, right? Haha, if you’re willing to hide in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, I don’t mind.”

“Oh, by the way, let me tell you secretly, after I marry Emily, I will definitely torture her terribly and make her wish she was dead!”

This conversation was blatantly an attempt to provoke Ethan.

Ethan coldly said, “Dexter, you will not have the chance to marry Emily Taylor because you are not worthy.”

“Treasure the rest of your six months, as when the time comes, I will let the world know that Dexter Blair is nothing but a waste relying on his aristocratic family!”

After speaking, Ethan immediately hung up the phone and blacklisted Dexter.

Dexter, with his stomach full of anger still unresolved, was naturally furious.

Meanwhile, Ethan’s mood wasn’t great either.

Ethan, already anxious, was even more unwilling to waste a single minute under Dexter’s provocation.

He turned towards Elder Mike Taylor’s room.

At this moment, Elder Mike was sitting cross-legged against the wall, as if in deep reflection.

“Elder Mike,” Ethan walked to the table and sat down.

Elder Mike slowly turned his head and said to Ethan, “You’re here.”

Ethan nodded and took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Elder Mike.

“This is what Emily gave me. After much thought, I think it’s better for you to keep it,” Ethan said.

Elder Mike waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to give it to me. Since it’s for you, just keep it.”

“No.” Ethan stuffed the bank card into Elder Mike’s hand.

He took a deep breath and said, “Elder Mike, you must take this money, not just for you, but also for myself.”

“Oh?” Elder Mike raised his eyebrows, waiting for Ethan to continue.

Ethan slowly said, “I’ve heard of your business achievements, and since you’ve been called Emperor Taylor, your ability is beyond my imagination.”

“I’ve thought about it during this time. If I want to truly defeat the Taylor family and the Blair family, relying solely on martial power would never work.”

“No matter if it’s business, connections, or power, none can be lacking.”

Hearing Ethan’s words, Elder Mike couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

“Consider this money as your startup capital, I hope you can assist me,” Ethan said seriously.

Although his words sounded somewhat arrogant, they were the truth.

Now, Elder Mike could only assist Ethan, and everything had to revolve around Ethan.

Elder Mike took the bank card and said with a smile, “Haha, good, good! I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful.”

“Have you considered that if your power were strong enough, perhaps you wouldn’t need to rely on business activities?” Elder Mike asked.

“I know, but I don’t have that much time,” Ethan replied.

Now with time being of the essence, Ethan couldn’t possibly risk everything on himself.

Elder Mike thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright! I agree!”

“Thank you.” Ethan bowed his hand and then turned to leave.

The next morning, Ethan came to the courtyard early, waiting for the Pavilion Master.

At this time, Sofia Carrillo and Edward Green returned after buying breakfast.

Seeing Ethan, Edward Green quickly ran over.

“Mr. Smith, why are you here? I just bought these steamed buns. Eat them while they’re hot,” Edward Green handed the buns to Ethan.

Ethan didn’t hesitate, taking the buns and stuffing them into his mouth.

The three sat on the steps, eating and chatting casually.

“Mr. Smith, why did you suddenly come to the square today?” Edward Green asked while wolfing down his food.

After finishing the buns in his hand, Ethan said, “The Pavilion Master said he was taking me to a place where I can obtain the Meridian Circulation Mind Skill.”

“Meridian Circulation Mind Skill?” Sofia Carrillo was surprised when she heard this.

Ethan glanced at Sofia Carrillo and asked, “Do you know about it?”

Sofia nodded and said, “I’ve heard a legend that this Meridian Circulation Mind Skill was left behind by a mighty realm cultivator. With this skill, your cultivation will progress twice as fast.”

Ethan remained silent, gesturing for Sofia to continue.

Sofia continued, “But, acquiring this skill is difficult. I heard that a Peak Form of Grandmaster facing a bottleneck tried it once. Unfortunately, he failed and dispersed into nothingness.”

“Dispersed into nothingness?” Edward Green’s eyes widened in shock.

“Well, I’m not sure if it’s true,” Sofia said.

As the two chatted, other alchemists also gathered around.

To Ethan’s surprise, all these people had heard of the Meridian Circulation Mind Skill, and their legends were more or less the same.

“Master Smith, you need to think carefully. It seems no one has ever succeeded in so many years.”

“Yeah, no one in the entire Divine Alchemist Pavilion dares to try it.”

“I heard even a Marquis died while attempting this. Once you die, everything is gone.”

Hearing everyone’s words, Ethan’s determination did not waver at all.

He knew very well that with his current progress, he had absolutely no chance of defeating Dexter, let alone crashing the wedding.

If the wedding crash failed, who knew what kind of suffering Emily would endure?

“Thank you for your concerns, but my mind is made up, and there’s no need to persuade me any further,” Ethan said with a bow.

Just then, there was a commotion in the distance.

“Greetings, Lord Pavilion Master!” Many alchemists stood up and greeted the approaching figure.

Ethan also quickly stood up and said, “Lord Pavilion Master.”

“Are you ready?” The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan casually.

Ethan replied with determination, “I’m ready.”

“Then let’s go,” the Pavilion Master turned and said.

“Pavilion Master, are you really going to take him there?” The Fifth Elder suddenly stopped the Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master glanced at him and said, “What do you think?”

The Fifth Elder frowned and said, “Pavilion Master, isn’t this…a bit too risky…With Ethan’s talent, he doesn’t need any Meridian Circulation Mind Skill! As long as he has enough time, he will become a great powerhouse!”

“What we lack now is time,” Ethan said with a bitter smile.

“Fifth Elder, thank you for your concern, but I have to go regardless,” Ethan said.

The Fifth Elder clenched his teeth and said, “Pavilion Master, can I go as well?”

“I want to go too!”

“Pavilion Master, please let us witness this moment together!”

For a moment, everyone in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion wanted to witness this event.
