“Could what Miss Taylor said be true?” This time, even Cato Cain had some doubts.

At this moment, Ethan Smith was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

He was unconcerned, not paying any attention to the Schroeder Family’s affairs.

“How do I utilize this dark energy?” Ethan tried to mobilize the dark energy inside his body but found that he had no idea how to use it.

Not even the inheritance left by his father had any methods for using dark energy.

“It seems that I can only figure it out by myself.” Ethan thought to himself.

If he could combine the dark energy with qi, Ethan’s strength would definitely increase once again.

Unfortunately, Ethan was completely blank when it came to this aspect!

“I probably won’t be able to figure it out for a while.” Ethan shook his head.

It quickly got dark, and at 7 pm, Ashton Nicholson drove to the hotel lobby.

“Mr. Smith, it’s about time, we should head out.” Ashton said to Ethan. Ethan nodded, and then they got into Ashton’s car and left.

Ashton took Ethan to an extremely luxurious venue.

The venue looked extremely high-end, and entry required tickets.

Ethan looked closely and found that the people guarding the entrance were two Inner Strength Masters.

“This venue is really extraordinary.” Ethan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Ashton nodded and said, “The owner of this venue is very mysterious, said to be a Derson with unrivaled influence.”

Ethan sighed slightly, “Shiglance City really is a place full of hidden talents.” “Indeed.” Ashton nodded.

“Apparently, three years ago, there was a reclusive expert who taught the Schroeder Family a lesson, and since then, they have been much more low-key.” Ashton explained.

“Oh?” This surprised Ethan a bit.

The Schroeder Family’s behavior was so high-profile, and this was considered low-key? How outrageous must they have been before?

“Let’s go.” Ashton brought Ethan into the venue.

As soon as they entered the venue, Ethan felt a strong aroma of herbs.

As expected, this place was not comparable to Cloud Street.

Inside the venue, there were numerous counters, each selling different items.

There were paintings, herbs, antiques, and, surprisingly, some selling medical services.

For example, providing medical consultations and charging based on the patient’s condition.

“Mr. Smith, although this place is high-end, you still need to distinguish between real and fake items yourself.” Ashton reminded. Ethan nodded and said, “I understand.”

No matter how high-end a place is, scams are everywhere. The only difference is between low-level and high-level scammers.

“Ethan Smith!”

At this moment, a familiar shout came from behind Ethan.

Looking back, the person who had arrived was Leonard Schultz! Beside him was an old man in a white shirt.

“Mr. Schultz? What are you doing here?” Ethan couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

Leonard laughed heartily, “I just happened to be free lately, so I came out to have some fun. As for you, you’ve been targeted by the Schroeder Family, yet you still dare to come here so boldly?”

Ethan forced a smile, “I didn’t expect that you would also know about this.”

“Now the whole Chuzzle is talking about it, Ethan, last time I saw you, you were just a nobody, but now you’ve become a celebrity in Chuzzle.” Leonard joked.

Ethan helplessly said, “Mr. Schultz, please don’t make fun of me.”

“Hahaha!” Leonard couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Alvin Ward glanced at them and shook his head, “These are all waste materials. Old Leonard, your vision is surprisingly bad.”

“What about mine, Master Ward? Can you help me take a look?” Ashton asked anxiously.

Master Ward looked at the raw stone in Ashton’s hand and picked out the smallest one after a moment.

“This one should turn green, but it won’t make up for the cost.” Alvin Ward said.

Both Leonard and Ashton seemed to be somewhat unconvinced.

Although they were not experts in this field, they had both played for many years and had some experience.

As a result, they ignored the advice and cut all the raw stones open on the spot.

Unfortunately, everything turned out as Alvin Ward had predicted.

Apart from the one that Alvin Ward had selected, all the others were waste materials.

“Master Ward’s vision is indeed sharp!” This completely won over both Leonard and Ashton!

Alvin Ward waved his hand, “With your vision, I’m afraid it’s difficult to pick out a decent raw stone.”

“Let’s do this, I’ll choose, you’ll pay, we’ll split the winnings fifty-fifty, and if we lose, you’re on your own.” Alvin Ward proposed.

“No problem!” Ashton and Leonard agreed without hesitation.

Following Alvin Ward, they spent only about forty to fifty minutes and made more than two million.

This made Ashton and Leonard admire Alvin Ward even more!

At the same time, Ethan was also selecting stones.

He put his hand on the raw stones, trying to feel them.

“It’s this one.” Ethan’s eyes lit up as he chose a very large raw stone.

Although Ethan didn’t know what exactly was inside, he clearly felt a strong fluctuation of qi within..
