Looking at everyone’s attitude, Asher Lane wasn’t surprised.
He knew that these people would not take this risk for the sake of the Lane Family.
As people left one after another, Asher could not help but snort softly.
The next day, Ethan Smith packed up his things, ready to head to South City.
By this point, Edward Green’s body had basically recovered, although his legs were still a little unnatural, causing him to limp while walking.
“Ah, Mr. Smith, we should buy a car soon.” Edward mumbled on the way to the station.
Ethan thought about it and indeed, it seemed necessary to buy a car.
The frequency of going out was bound to increase in the future, constantly relying on public transportation would be inconvenient.
“We’ll buy one when we come back from this trip.” Ethan said.
The two took the bus heading South City. On the journey, Asher sent Ethan a message stating where the competition would take place.
To Ethan’s surprise, Asher had chosen a scenic spot for the competition instead of a closed indoor location.
“It seems that Asher wants to make a big fuss about it so that the Taylor family doesn’t find out and exploit this.” Edward peered at the mobile phone and mumbled.
Ethan Smith snorted lightly and said, “That’s exactly what I want.”
Edward scratched his head, a bit worried, “Mr. Smith, be careful, Asher Lane is not your average man, his strength..
“Don’t worry.” Ethan cut off Edward’s words.
“I can defeat him with a mere flick of my wrist.” Ethan said calmly.
Seeing this, Edward chose not to say more, but he was still somewhat worried.
After a journey of over five hours, they finally arrived in South City.
Ethan looked at his phone and said, “Let’s take a taxi to the vicinity.”
This can’t help but make Ethan Smith sigh, having a car is indeed more convenient.
Afterward, Ethan and Edward hailed a taxi at the roadside and headed straight for the Water Dragon Cave.
This is a famous attraction in South City, with spring-like weather all year round where countless people come to soak in the hot springs each year.
“Guys, I’d advise you not to go to the Water Dragon Cave today.” The driver said while driving.
The large area covered by the Water Dragon Cave scenic spot was most famous for its natural hot springs.
Up ahead, there was a significant natural hot spring, sending up clouds of steam.
It was said that the scene was the same even in winter; throughout the four seasons, one could hardly feel any chill here.
At this time, the area had been cordoned off with seven to eight people guarding it, preventing anyone from getting close.
Ethan and Edward stood outside the cordon, looking at the Water Dragon Cave from a distance.
“Really strange.” Ethan murmured with a slight frown.
“Mr. Smith, what’s wrong?” Edward asked.
Ethan pointed towards the direction of Water Dragon Cave, “I always feel that something’s off with the water here. The heat that’s wafting about has traces of qi. ”
“Qi?” Edward was taken aback, he clearly had not heard this term before.
Ethan did not elaborate, he stared intently at the Water Dragon Cave, and softly said, “Could there be something hidden under the water?”
“Oh my, Ethan Smith, it’s really you.” Just then, a voice came from behind Ethan.
He looked around only to find a well-dressed girl in her twenties standing behind him.
There were three or four young people of similar age around her.
“Violet Miller?” Upon seeing this girl, Ethan furrowed his eyebrows.
This girl is Sylvia Johnson’s cousin, once Ethan’s sister-in-law, and is currently studying at a university in South City.
Back when Ethan was still with the Johnson family, Violet always looked down on Ethan, lampooning him and even treating him like a servant.
He didn’t expect to run into her here today.
“Violet, the man who’s competing with the younger Lord of Lane Family today is also named Ethan Smith, could it be him?” A girl beside Violet widened her eyes and asked.
Violet sneered, “How is that possible? Ethan Smith is just a spineless man living off of others, he can only do laundry and cook, he can’t do anything else.
How could he be the same person as Ethan Smith?”
Hearing Violet’s words, everyone around started giggling.
“Why are you talking to Mr. Smith like this?” Edward frowned, his tone displeased.
“Forget it.” Ethan waved it off.
As for the people from the Johnson family, Ethan did not want to say one more word.
“Ethan Smith, should not you be at home serving my sister instead of running around here in South City?” Violet arrogantly said.
“I have no relationship with your sister anymore.” Ethan glanced at her and said coldly.
