MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 9 Episode 4

At this moment, Ms. Hayward sat on a blanket in her home, overwhelmed with grief.

Her aged face was covered in tears, with hair strands hanging over her forehead, making her look pitiful.

“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have let you fight Ethan Smith…” Ms. Hayward said in a low voice, her old tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, Ms. Hayward quickly wiped her tears, her eyes became a bit more firm as if making some kind of decision.

“I can only temporarily conceal the news.” Ms. Hayward seemed to have a desperate determination.

She decided not to inform the higher-ups for the time being, but to secretly take Ethan Smith to the Mystic Realm before they found out!

Because Ms. Hayward knew very well that the lives of Broderick and herself were of no value to the higher-ups!

They would never risk exposing the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s secrets for Broderick!

“I’ve served the Capital City Martial Arts Association my entire life; it’s about time I got some payback.”

“For Broderick’s sake, this is my only option!”

Ms. Hayward muttered under her breath, then turned around and walked out of her home.

Nighttime.

Ethan Smith sat in the rented house, feeling somewhat worried.

The man with the mustache, however, was quite relaxed, grilling and humming a tune.

“You know what, living in this single-story house is much more comfortable than living in that apartment,” the man with the mustache muttered.

After saying this, he handed a roasted skewer to Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith shook his head and sighed, “You eat it, I’m not in the mood.”

The man with the mustache rolled his eyes, “Fine, if you don’t want it.”

At this time, the news of Ethan Smith’s breaking the Martial Saint Weapon with a single punch had spread throughout the entire martial arts world in Pyro.

It was almost unheard of to break a Martial Saint Weapon with the power of a Military Marquis Realm, a first in history.

Throughout the ages, countless geniuses have emerged, but no one has ever reached such a level.

“Among the many geniuses in the world, who can be on par with Ethan Smith?” For a time, everyone placed Ethan Smith at the top!

Even the Martial Arts Forum changed their rankings.

Dominic Taylor, who had occupied the first place for many years, was now ranked second!

Seeing the news on the leaderboard, Dominic Taylor’s face grew darker and darker.

“First place… can only be mine!” In Dominic Taylor’s eyes, a hint of viciousness was revealed.

…

Dawn.

The whole world seemed to be falling into a deep sleep, but Ethan Smith had no intention of sleeping.

His time was running out, the Power of Martial Saint could disappear at any moment, and he couldn’t not be anxious.

“Is she really going to abandon Broderick?” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.

Just at this moment.

Ethan Smith’s phone rang.

Picking up the phone, he saw that the caller was an unfamiliar number.

Ethan Smith quickly answered the call, and just as the call connected, he heard Ms. Hayward’s voice on the other end.

“Ethan Smith, name your conditions. What will it take for you to release Broderick?” Ms. Hayward said coldly.

Ethan Smith sneered, “Ms. Hayward, I think I’ve made myself clear enough, right?”

There was a moment of silence from Ms. Hayward on the other end, and then she said coldly, “Tomorrow morning at eight, meet me at Qinvor Mountain.”

After leaving this sentence, Ms. Hayward immediately hung up the phone.

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

“Finally… it worked.” Ethan Smith whispered, the heavy stone in his heart finally falling to the ground.

Ethan Smith did not sleep for the entire night.

Early the next morning, Ethan Smith handed Broderick to the man with the mustache.

“You must watch him closely until I return,” Ethan Smith warned.

The man with the mustache nodded, “Don’t worry.”

Without saying more, Ethan Smith immediately headed to Qinvor Mountain.

At eight o’clock in the morning.

Ms. Hayward appeared punctually at Qinvor Mountain.

In just one day, Ms. Hayward seemed to have aged several decades, looking extremely haggard.

“You finally came.” Ethan Smith said indifferently.

Ms. Hayward looked coldly at Ethan Smith, and said, “Ethan Smith, you’re ruthless!”

“You didn’t ask me here to talk nonsense, did you?” Ethan Smith said coldly.

Ms. Hayward snorted coldly and said, “Where’s Broderick? Let me see him.”

“No.” Ethan Smith refused Ms. Hayward’s request without thinking.

Ms. Hayward frowned, “How come? Don’t I even get to see him? How can I be sure he’s safe?”

Ethan Smith sneered, “Did you let me see Emily Taylor at that time?”

Ms. Hayward was stunned and suddenly had nothing to say.

“Don’t worry, killing him wouldn’t benefit me at all. You know my objective better than I do,” Ethan Smith said coldly.

Without saying more, Ms. Hayward threw a hat to Ethan Smith, “Wear this.”

Ethan Smith was familiar with the hat; it was used to conceal one’s face.

Without showing any politeness, Ethan Smith immediately put the hat on.

“When we get to the Martial Arts Association, it’s best that you keep quiet,” Ms. Hayward said coldly.

“Don’t worry,” Ethan Smith replied, suppressing his excitement.

So, the two of them immediately rushed to the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

On their way, they finally arrived at the entrance to the Martial Arts Association.

The entrance was still heavily guarded, and the atmosphere was even more solemn.

When Ms. Hayward appeared, the two guards at the door bowed immediately, “Greetings, Ms. Hayward.”

Ms. Hayward did not say a word and walked in with large strides.

Ethan Smith followed closely, his eyes scanning the surroundings, carefully observing every detail.

Past the halls of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, they arrived at the back halls.

Behind the back halls were rows and rows of buildings.

This was the real Capital City Martial Arts Association.

As soon as he stepped in, Ethan Smith could feel a mysterious atmosphere permeating the entire space.

This was Ethan Smith’s first time in this area, and he carefully observed everything around him.

It included the buildings and the people coming and going.

To strike the Capital City Martial Arts Association, one must understand the structure and power that the association possessed.

Walking along, Ethan Smith discovered that the association hid several mysterious forces.

The surrounding buildings were more like secret chambers, with each house hiding different secrets.

Even the famous Scripture Pavilion was situated here.

“Ms. Hayward.”

At this moment, two men approached and greeted Ms. Hayward.

Ms. Hayward did not say a word, just nodding her head.

Just as she was about to continue leading Ethan Smith, the two men suddenly asked, “Ms. Hayward, who is this person? We have never seen him before.”

Ms. Hayward said coldly, “No need to ask more questions; I’m taking him to see the higher-ups.”

“This…” The two men looked at each other and said, “Ms. Hayward, you know this place is a top-secret area; outsiders aren’t allowed in.”

Ms. Hayward’s face turned cold, and she said ominously, “So, do I need to report to you? Or are you questioning me?”
