MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 9 Episode 76

“Obadiah Heptinstall?”

The crowd seemed somewhat unfamiliar with this name.

Even Marc Fraley couldn’t help but scoff: “The Capital City Martial Arts Association doesn’t need trash.”

“Trash?” After hearing these words, the black-robed man instantly became very displeased.

“Mr. Fraley, are you saying that our family head is trash?”

Marc Fraley glanced at him, snorted and said, “All reputable aristocratic families receive an invitation from our Capital City Martial Arts Association. As for this Obadiah Heptinstall, we’ve never even heard of him.”

…

The black-robed man’s face suddenly became a few degrees colder.

“If our family master is trash, then I’m afraid everyone here is trash,” the black-robed man coldly retorted.

“Boy, who are you calling trash!” This remark immediately incited collective anger.

Someone pounded the table, stood up, pointed at him, and cursed: “You’re courting death!”

The black-robed man ignored their fury, turning his gaze on Marc Fraley, with a cold smile: “Mr. Fraley, it would have been an honor for you to work with our family master!”

“Since you don’t know what’s best for you, don’t blame us for being rude. I hope you won’t regret it!”

Marc Fraley mocked: “Are you threatening me? You dare to threaten the Capital City Martial Arts Association?”

“The Capital City Martial Arts Association might be the head today, but that doesn’t mean it will always be,” the black-robed man sneered.

After dropping these words, he turned around and walked away.

As he reached the doorway, the black-robed man paused.

“I’ll deliver a message on behalf of our family head,” said the black-robed man indifferently.

“Your behavior today is sure to bring calamity upon yourselves!”

After leaving these words behind, the black-robed man didn’t look back, and left.

Marc Fraley didn’t take this black-robed man seriously and couldn’t care less about any Obadiah Heptinstall.

The Capital City Martial Arts Association’s influence is declining, and in order to secure his own status, Marc Fraley had called this meeting.

Otherwise, given the temperament of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, he wouldn’t give two hoots about these aristocratic families.

“This year a Martial Saint will be born, and at that time, the Capital City Martial Arts Association will also dispatch Martial Saints to capture Ethan Smith.”

“Some of you here will also be nurtured by us.”

Once the Great Era changes, an individual will certainly step into the Martial Saint Realm.

Each alteration in circumstances could potentially change the existing balance of power.

Therefore, the Capital City Martial Arts Association has to win people’s hearts before that happens.

Otherwise, the time when the Capital City Martial Arts Association can rule and dominate will be gone forever.

“We are willing to serve the Capital City Martial Arts Association!” Everyone stood up and respectfully offered their service.

Marc Fraley waved his hand and said, “Bring the gifts.”

As soon as his voice fell, his followers brought several boxes.

Inside these boxes were herbs and magical artifacts.

The herbs were all over five thousand years old in efficacy, and even though the magical artifacts were not Martial Saint Weapons, they were of top quality.

“This is just a welcome gift. All the talented descendants of the noble families will receive our resource support,” Marc Fraley continued.

“Furthermore, we will enroll your descendants into the Capital City Martial Arts Academy.”

As soon as he said this, everyone became even more excited.

The Capital City Martial Arts Academy is the holy grail in their hearts!

Before this, trying to get in was almost impossible unless they belonged to one of Capital City’s top noble families!

They couldn’t believe that their descendants could join the Capital City Martial Arts Academy today!

“Thank you, Mr. Fraley!” Everyone expressed their profound gratitude together.

Marc Fraley waved his hand and said, “Alright, the meeting ends here today. You can go back and select the talents from your clans. They should join the Martial Arts Academy on the sixth day.”

After dispersing the crowd, a trace of mockery flashed across Marc Fraley’s face.

He turned to Channing at his side and said, “Did you see? As long as these bottom-level people get a little benefit, they will be filled with gratitude, and work for you.”

Channing also chuckled, “Do they really think we want to nurture them? The purpose of doing this is merely to use them as cannon fodder.”

At this point, Marc Fraley suddenly asked, “Have there been any recent news?”

Channing promptly bowed his body and said, “According to what the master mentioned, someone will step into the Martial Saint Realm on Dragon Rising day. On the same day, our Second Secret Realm will dispatch three Martial Saints to kill Ethan Smith!”

Marc Fraley took a deep breath and muttered to himself: “Dragon Rising day…it seems that I still have time.”

Upon hearing this, Channing quietly said, “Young Master, I suggest being careful before then. Try not to provoke Ethan Smith, to avoid complications…”

Marc Fraley glanced at Channing and coldly said, “Do you think I’m no match for Ethan Smith?”

“I certainly didn’t mean that!” Channing quickly denied.

Marc Fraley snorted, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this calculated. I won’t act recklessly.”

Channing immediately nodded: “Yes, Young Master.”

…

The Capital City Martial Arts Association was laying out its plan in secret, but Ethan Smith was completely unaware.

He had the same idea in mind – to exert all his efforts into building Heaven Gate to counter the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

But right now, for Ethan Smith, the most important thing was to enhance his strength and find a way to obtain the solution to the Spirit binding technique.

Ethan Smith carefully counted all the resources he controlled in his hands.

These resources, coupled with the ownerless Mystic Realm, were enough for Ethan Smith to step into the Martial Saint Realm.

On the third day.

Ethan Smith arrived at Ignacio Burke’s residence early in the morning.

He waited for an entire day until evening when Ignacio Burke finally returned in his car.

The car slowly stopped in front of Ethan Smith. Ignacio Burke waved his hand, indicating for Ethan Smith to get in the car.

After getting in the car, Ignacio Burke was silent, driving quickly in a certain direction.

During the journey, Ignacio Burke said coldly, “The Capital City Martial Arts Association has been making moves recently.”

“What kind of moves?” Ethan Smith asked, puzzled.

Ignacio Burke said solemnly, “They have gathered most of the top aristocratic families in the world for a meeting. This meeting is very likely targeted against you.”

“They gathered the aristocratic families?” Ethan Smith frowned slightly.

Ignacio Burke affirmed with a grunt, “Don’t underestimate them. Most of these clans possess significant resources. If they unite, you’ll find it difficult to deal with.”

“Moreover… those clans within the secret realms might launch ambush attacks.”

Ethan Smith took a deep breath, “I see, thank you, Commander Burke.”

The vehicle sped down the road and quickly arrived at a mansion.

The mansion was a Chinese-style building, and the entrance had a huge “Secret” character hanging on it.

“We’re here.” Ignacio Burke parked the car at the entrance.

He lit a cigarette, took a puff, pointed ahead, and said: “This is the residence of the Mystic Realm Master.”

Ethan Smith nodded, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he spoke quietly: “As long as he is willing to help, I will be able to step into the Martial Saint Realm soon…”
