Chapter 459: 459: Sudden Increase in Power!

Translator: 549690339

If Ethan Smith does not come back by tomorrow, I’m afraid we’ll really have to consider temporarily withdrawing from Chuzzle.

Dudley Lynch’s momentum is unstoppable, and no one can resist him. It’s pointless to hold out at this stage.

However, Dudley Lynch released another piece of news the next day.

He publicly announced: “Anyone willing to submit to me, Dudley Lynch, will be spared. This will be your last chance.”

As soon as this message was released, countless people started to rally by Dudley Lynch’s side!

Dudley Lynch deliberately held a banquet to invite Ethan Smith’s old subordinates.

That day, countless people who had a connection with Ethan Smith attended the banquet to show their loyalty.

By noontime, nearly fifty people had gathered at the banquet.

Dudley Lynch glanced at the crowd and said indifferently: “A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, you are all smart people.”

Everyone raised their glasses in unison, sycophantically saying: “Mr Lynch is unparalleled in the world, following you is our honor!”

“Indeed, you’re already a half-step Martial Marquis at a young age, and you’re the Number One Person of Central Plains. You’re simply out of Ethan Smith’s league!”

Faced with everyone’s flattery, Dudley Lynch remained silent.

He glanced around and said indifferently: “It seems Conrad Schroeder hasn’t come, right?”

As soon as he said this, the room instantly fell into a brief silence.

Almost everyone knew that Conrad Schroeder was Ethan Smith’s confidant and an influential figure in Chuzzle!

“Conrad Schroeder indeed hasn’t come.” Someone said.

“This man is Ethan Smith’s lapdog, it’s better to kill him directly.”

Dudley Lynch gave a cold snort and continued: “What about Adonis Williams? He didn’t come either?”

Mentioning this name, everyone could not help but gasp.

Compared to Conrad Schroeder, Adonis Williams was even more well-known! His influence could even reach across the entire Central Plains region!

“Master Williams... probably didn’t get the message.” Someone said quietly.

A hint of displeasure surfaced on Dudley Lynch’s face.

In his eyes, the roles of Conrad Schroeder and Adonis Williams were larger than all the others present combined!

But these two people were the only ones who didn’t come!

“Tell Conrad Schroeder and Adonis Williams, I am only giving them an hour.” Dudley Lynch folded his arms behind his back and said coldly.

Edward Green grumbled: “Even though that’s true, Dudley Lynch is not giving us enough respect...”

“Would you be standing here talking if you were a major tycoon?” Sofia rolled her eyes again.

Regardless, Edward Green still felt a bit upset.

Inside the Hydrating Tower, Ethan Smith was surrounded by a burning aura.

At first glance, his body seemed to be enveloped by streaks of white gas.

The qi within the Hydrating Tower would not run out, but because of the large storage, it seemed to be drawn slowly.

What was surprising, however, was that ever since Ethan Smith entered the Hydrating Tower, the qi within sharply decreased.

A few days later, the qi reached the brink of depletion!

Later that evening.

Ethan Smith suddenly opened his eyes.

A powerful energy was rampaging through his body.

A terrifying force caused his body to swell!

His skin began to glow, forming something akin to a suit of armor, perfectly merging with Ethan Smith.

“In just a few days, I’ve reached the peak of the Enlightenment Stage.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

He tried to go further, but found there was no more qi left to absorb around him.

“This place is so rich in qi, and I’ve actually absorbed it all?” Ethan Smith scratched his head, feeling slightly awkward.

If Dudley Lynch found out, he would probably be furious!

He had been cultivating in the Hydrating Tower for years, with almost no noticeable decrease in the qi.

However, in just a few days, Ethan Smith had absorbed all the qi, leaving none behind!

“Seems I should go find some herbs and try to reach the half-step Martial Marquis rank as soon as possible.” Ethan Smith clenched his fist and said softly.

Moving from the beginning of the Enlightenment Stage, to the peak of the Enlightenment Stage.

The gap in strength in between was unimaginable.

The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the potential for strength growth.

The current Ethan Smith, compared to when he first entered the Enlightenment Stage, had increased his strength at least a hundredfold!

“With my current strength, fighting Atticus Kane should no longer be such a struggle.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

“As for Dudley Lynch, he should be easy to handle!”
