Chapter 222 - 222: 222: Adrien Bauer’s Cunning Plan

Translator: 549690339

The environment around Ethan Smith grew colder and colder, with the surrounding trees completely withered.

It was already approaching winter, and the dark energy within Ethan made the surroundings look even more desolate.

In the room, Edward Green stood quietly by the window, looking at Ethan.

He tried to practice according to the breathing and meditation methods taught by Ethan, but found that his qi seemed to be suppressed, unable to advance at all.

“Mr. Smith’s cultivation method... seems a bit strange.” Edward muttered quietly.

On the other side.

Conrad Schroeder sat quietly in the living room, waiting for Uncle Armando.

However, half a minute later, a corpse was carried in.

“Master, Uncle Armando... he’s dead!” A servant of the Schroeder Family knelt on the ground with a panicked expression.

On the ground lay Uncle Armando.

He lay quietly, his body shriveled like a mummy.

“Shane!” Seeing this scene, Conrad’s heart was tormented!

He held Uncle Armando’s corpse, his face filled with pain.

Uncle Armando had been with Conrad for decades, and had been tireless in his service to the Schroeder Family over the years.

As a result, Conrad deeply cared for him!

Even last time, when Uncle Armando’s mistakes had implicated the Schroeder Family, Conrad couldn’t bring himself to kill him!

“Who did this!” Conrad’s eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted angrily.

Before the servant could answer, Conrad’s phone rang.

After answering, a gloomy voice came from the other side.

“Mr. Schroeder, have you received the gift I sent you?” The voice was that of Adrien Bauer!

Conrad’s face changed, and he shouted, “You did this! I will tear you to pieces!” “Tear me to pieces?” Adrien laughed on the other end of the phone.

“Mr. Schroeder, don’t be so hasty. Wait until you’ve seen the video before you make a decision.” Adrien said calmly.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

In a moment, Conrad’s phone received a text message.

This message contained a video in which Miles Schroeder was shrouded in a dark aura, his lips purple, and looking as if he was on the verge of death!

“Son!” Conrad’s pupils contracted, and his face turned pale!

At that moment, the phone rang again.

“Mr. Schroeder, your son has been poisoned by my Gu. As long as I give the command, he will die without a doubt.” Adrien said calmly.

Conrad screamed anxiously, “What do you want to do? Don’t touch my son!” “Hahaha!” Adrien couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Mr. Smith.”

At this moment, Edward Green came in from outside.

Ethan nodded slightly and asked, “How long have I been in seclusion this time?”

Edward replied, “It’s been thirteen days.”

“So long.” Ethan frowned slightly.

Fortunately, his strength had improved tremendously.

Although it was only the difference between the Sixth and Seventh Layer, the gap between them was like night and day.

“Now facing Conrad, I might not be so helpless.” Ethan clenched his fist and thought to himself.

Just then, Ethan’s phone rang again.

Picking it up, Ethan saw that the caller was Conrad.

Without thinking too much, Ethan answered the call.

Conrad’s voice sounded somewhat unnatural, “Come...Mr. Smith, do you have time? I’d like to invite you for a meal.”

“Invite me for a meal?” Ethan raised his eyebrow.

“Is there something going on?”

Conrad hesitated, “There’s... something I need to tell you.” Ethan was silent for a moment, then agreed, “Alright, I’ll be right over.”

After hanging up, Ethan couldn’t help but scratch his chin.

Conrad sounded a bit odd...

After a quick shower, Ethan left and headed toward the Schroeder Family residence in Shiglance City.

At this time, Adrien Bauer was in front of seven or eight corpses.

The corpses were all shriveled, looking extremely terrifying.

They were all the elite forces of the Schroeder Family! Their strength had already entered the Grandmaster Realm!

“So comfortable, so comfortable...” Adrien licked his lips, his face full of satisfaction.

Although filled with rage, Conrad did not dare to say anything.

“Ethan Smith has agreed and should arrive soon.” Conrad said with an expressionless face.

“Remember to give me back my son when the matter is over.”

“If there’s even one single hair missing from my son, I will never spare you!” Adrien smiled faintly, “Mr. Schroeder, rest assured, I, Adrien Bauer, am a man who keeps his word.”

“I hope so.” Conrad snorted coldly, and then left with a flick of his sleeve.

Adrien laughed sinisterly, the dark energy around him surging as he slowly raised his palm, and a burst of black energy gushed out from nine directions!

“Ethan Smith, you tried to steal what’s mine, now I’ll make sure you have no place to die!” Adrien said sinisterly.

Before long, Ethan arrived at the Schroeder Family residence by car.

Conrad was waiting at the door, and when he saw Ethan arrive, a hint of unease flashed across his face..
