Chapter 629: Chapter 629: The Mysterious Black-Robed Man
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look!
“Ethan Smith?!” Davy Barnett was momentarily stunned before he burst into laughter.
In no time, the entire office was filled with derisive laughter.
“Never mind that Ethan Smith is already dead, even if he wasn’t, do you really think he would be capable of doing it?” Barnett sneered.
Even more so, Dominic Taylor scoffed: “If even I can’t achieve it, how could Ethan Smith possibly do it?”
No one took this guess seriously, dismissing it with laughter. Ethan Smith might have been talented, but they didn’t think he could rise to such power.
And to them, Ethan Smith was already dead.
“At least we have a new Blood Heir.” Barker laughed.
“A new heir?” Dominic Taylor inquired with a small frown.
Davy Barnett nodded: “Indeed. The previous three brothers only inherited about 10%, but the compatibility of this new heir is incredibly high, absurdly reaching up to 40%!”
Dominic Taylor’s face slightly changed.
40%? The previous three brothers had already posed a threat to him.
Isn’t this new 40% heir going to be much stronger?
“You’re not strangers here, so I don’t mind sharing this.” Barnett continued.
“The high-level decision is to select candidates nationwide, and pick the one with the highest compatibility.
If the compatibility could reach 80%, their power would be unimaginable.”
Having heard this, a sense of unease rose within Dominic Taylor. Looking at Barnett, he requested in a cold voice: “President Barnett, please arrange a blood bath for me as soon as possible.”
Barnett seemed to have expected this and, thus, didn’t look surprised.
“Rest assured, we’ve already prepared for you. You come here and wait for me tomorrow morning,” said Barnett.
Dominic Taylor nodded and without saying more, turned and left.
...
In a suburban house in Capital City.
Ethan Smith removed his black robe and put on a set of clean clothes.
“No one should be able to guess my identity,” Ethan Smith thought secretly.
He purposely didn’t use his fists, but chose a bronze sword instead.
That way, no one would suspect him.
“You don’t have a choice.” Ethan Smith was in no mood for negotiations.
Unable to do much, Emerson hastily wrote down an address on a piece of paper.
Ethan Smith took the address, glanced at it, and sneered, “There seem to be quite a few people.”
Emerson huffed lightly, “You can go now.”
“No, I have another matter.” Ethan Smith shook his head.
“What else do you want to do!” Emerson was somewhat angry.
Ethan Smith replied coldly, “I want to enter the Capital City Martial Arts Association. You need to figure out a way to get me in.”
“Forget it!” Hearing this, Emerson was instantly furious!
“Ethan Smith, have you gone mad! Do you think I can do anything! Entering the Capital City Martial Arts Association requires rigorous selection and a comprehensive investigation of one’s background! If you dare step into the Capital City Martial Arts Association, you will definitely be exposed and I will get dragged down with you!
Emerson almost roared these words.
With a trace of mockery on his face, Ethan Smith said leisurely, “Okay, I don’t have to enter. But I heard that your Capital City Martial Arts Association is recruiting publicly.”
Emerson furrowed his brows, and after thinking it over, he nodded, “Yes, the Capital City Martial Arts Association is recruiting genius warriors to activate their bloodlines with Emily Taylor’s blood.”
“I want in,” Ethan Smith’s intention was unquestionable.
“But there are limited spots, and I’ve given all of mine,” Emerson furrowed his brows.
“Then get it back!” Ethan Smith spoke coldly.
“Emerson, it’s best you talk less. I don’t have too much patience.”
Emerson gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll figure something out.”
Ethan Smith didn’t say any more. He got up and left.
Watching Ethan Smith’s departing figure, Emerson felt his unease growing stronger.
“If this continues, I’m definitely going to get involved,” Emerson took a deep breath.
“I have to figure something out; I can’t let him keep controlling me,” a cold glint flashed in Emerson’s eyes.
...
The next day.
A piece of news was once again released.
All six super cultivators introduced by the Capital City Martial Arts Association have been killed!
And the murderer is still that black-robed man!
What’s more shocking is that the bodies of these six people were all hung on the main gate of the Capital City Martial Arts Association!
