MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 8 Episode 51

“Bert Mercer?” Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow, this was indeed surprising to him.

“Ethan Smith, flee quickly. Bert Mercer is already on his way, he’s a peak Military Marquis!” Emerson Holmes’s voice carried undertones of urgency.

Ethan Smith, however, scoffed: “No worries. Bert Mercer is insignificant.”

Emerson Holmes on the other end was taken aback.

A peak Military Marquis was insignificant?

Was Ethan Smith boasting or being confident?

“Ethan Smith, you…” Emerson Holmes began to say, but he didn’t know what to say.

Ethan Smith interrupted Emerson Holmes and changed the topic: “Emerson Holmes, you should take advantage of this time to win people’s support as quickly as possible.”

“Also, be sure to understand the power division of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

Emerson Holmes replied in a serious voice on the other end: “I know, but everything is under Ms. Hayward’s control now, I have very little authority.”

Ethan Smith laughed: “No worries, just do what you can within your authority, and be careful.”

After he said this, he hung up the phone.

If they wanted to attack the Capital City Martial Arts Association, they had to understand their power division.

Apart from the man in the purple robe, Ethan Smith didn’t know if the Capital City Martial Arts Association had any greater strengths hidden, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.

“I’m going out.” After hanging up the phone, Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache and Clare Richardson.

Clare frowned: “Where are you going?”

“Just out for a walk, it’s too stuffy inside the house,” Ethan Smith casually answered.

“Man with the mustache, take care of Clare.”

After saying this, Ethan Smith turned around and left the hotel.

This hotel was in the city area, surrounded by people.

The night in Capital City seemed busier, the nightlife slowly taking over the screen.

Ethan Smith walked on the main street, releasing his divine sense, and sensing the atmosphere around him.

Within a few miles, it was mostly ordinary people.

“It seems he hasn’t come yet.” Ethan Smith touched his chin.

He wandered aimlessly on the main street, quietly waiting for Bert Mercer’s arrival.

Over an hour went by, but Bert Mercer still hasn’t appeared.

Ethan Smith was almost out of patience. He found a quiet bar to sit down, and casually ordered two drinks, planning to wait for Bert Mercer’s arrival here.

“Just entered the late-term Military Marquis, and was looking for someone to practice on.” Ethan Smith murmured to himself.

At the moment, Ethan Smith didn’t have a clear understanding of his own strength, only knew that he was much stronger than before.

“Mr. Smith? What a coincidence, you are here too.” At this moment, a girl’s voice came from the side.

Turning around, he found that it was Daphne Green.

And standing next to her was a tall and handsome young man.

“Miss Green?” Ethan Smith rose from his seat with a slight surprise.

He looked at the young man next to her, saying, “Is this… your boyfriend?”

The young man, laughing, waved his hand, “We’re just ordinary friends.”

After being introduced by Daphne Green, he learned that his name was Tyler Wright.

This name was rather unfamiliar, Ethan Smith had never heard of it among his generation.

However, Tyler’s aura was extraordinarily strong, at least at the peak Military Marquis realm.

With such strength, he should be famous in Pyro.

But now, him being unheard of, was very unusual.

Seeing Ethan Smith’s doubts, Tyler laughed and explained, “Not everyone likes to be well-known, some prefer to remain obscure.”

Ethan Smith was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that as long as one had great strength, it was very difficult to be self-contained, after all, the stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility.

But now it seemed, there really were unknown masters in the world.

The previous Ice Palace, and now Tyler Wright, Ethan Smith had never heard of them.

“Miss Green, speaking of which, did you get anything from the trip to the Mystic Realm?” Ethan Smith asked.

Daphne Green laughed, “Indeed, the Mystic Realm is a resource-rich land, unmatched by all previous experiences.”

Ethan Smith said in a serious tone, “So, did you get anything from the Mystic Realm?”

Daphne Green replied with a slight regret, “No, because the time was too short, and the Mystic Realm was much larger than imagined.”

Tyler Wright on the side chimed in, “In fact, not all of the Mystic Realm is controlled by the Capital City Martial Arts Association, many remaining martial arts aristocratic families control their own parts of the Mystic Realm.”

Ethan Smith turned to Tyler Wright and politely said, “Mr. Wright, you seem to know something.”

Tyler Wright didn’t hide anything, he nodded slightly, “The current martial arts aristocracy, most of them have integrated into modern society.”

“Either for money, or to improve their social status.”

Ethan Smith nodded in agreement.

Whether it’s the Taylor family or the Blair family, and even the likes of the Bradley family, their core is actually capital, not the martial arts aristocracy.

For them, martial arts were just an additive.

“But many martial arts aristocracies are unwilling to integrate into the modern economy,” Tyler laughed.

“As far as I know, many of the surviving aristocratic families live hidden within the Mystic Realm.”

Ethan Smith was slightly surprised.

This completely shattered Ethan Smith’s original world view.

There were people living inside the Mystic Realm?

“Perhaps this Tyler Wright is the son of an aristocratic family living within the Mystic Realm.” Ethan Smith suddenly guessed something.

“By the way, why is Mr. Smith here drinking alone? The deadline for your agreement with Broderick is approaching, right?” Daphne Green changed the subject.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Four days left.”

“It seems that Mr. Smith is very confident.” Daphne Green laughed.

Ethan Smith pretended to sigh, “Hard to say, hard to say. No one dares to make rash conclusions before the fight.”

“Mr. Smith is being humble. Every time, everyone thinks you will definitely lose, but every time you create a miracle, shocking the world.” Daphne Green laughed.

Ethan Smith was just about to speak,

when he sensed a formidable aura approaching.

A faint trace of murderous spirit was on him, and he was just a few kilometers away from Ethan Smith and others.

“Someone’s coming.” Before Ethan Smith could speak, Tyler Wright spoke up seriously.

“Mr. Smith, someone wants to kill you?” Daphne Green also looked surprised.

Ethan Smith slowly stood up and shook his head, “I don’t know, maybe.”

As his words fell, a short man appeared at the door of the bar.

He was playing with a crossbow in his hand, a cruel smile on his face.

“Bert Mercer?” Seeing him, Daphne Green was a bit surprised.

Bert Mercer ignored Daphne Green, and went straight to Ethan Smith and sat down.

He picked up the wine glass in Ethan’s hand and said with a faint smile, “You were lucky to escape last time, but you won’t be so lucky this time.”

Ethan Smith raised his eyebrows and said, “I recall the one who ran away last time was you.”

Bert Mercer squinted his eyes and snorted, “Well then, are you not bringing those two corpses this time?”

Ethan Smith slowly stood up, scoffing, “To kill you is as easy as slaughtering chickens and ducks, I don’t need those two corpses.”
