Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Submit or Die_l
Translator: 549690339
The four great martial arts families in Chuzzle were the Perez Family, the Meyer Family, the Dennis Family, and the Anderson Family.
Over the years, these four great families appeared to be living peacefully, but in fact, they engaged in fierce power struggles.
Other small families in Chuzzle were required to make regular offerings to them.
The herbs collected each year were countless.
Ethan Smith’s eyes were cold as he murmured to himself, “It’s time for you to pay up.”
Then, he lowered his head and looked at the Divine Medicine in his hand.
He did not rush into alchemy, but temporarily stored the medicine in his bracelet, as the refining process might take a long time.
Moreover, Ethan was somewhat dissatisfied with his current strength.
Many high-level Pills require strength to support them.
Therefore, Ethan planned to enter the Monastic Stage and use the herbs later.
By then, he could try to refine a Divine Rank Pill. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The next day.
The Four Great Families arrived at the Schroeder Family early in the morning.
In a pavilion, everyone was drinking and chatting, looking quite at ease.
“Mr. Smith, what do you want us for?” Curtis Perez from the Perez Family asked.
Conrad Schroeder shook his head and replied, “I’m not sure.”
“Tsk, to have such a reputation as the King of Chuzzle at such a young age, it’s really enviable.” Someone from the Dennis Family suddenly said in a mocking tone.
Conrad glanced at him and said, “Mr. Smith has the qualifications, and the title of the King of Chuzzle was given to him by everyone else.” As they were speaking, Ethan walked over from not far away.
Seeing Ethan, everyone stood up and greeted him.
Ethan nodded slightly, acknowledging the greetings.
He entered the pavilion, found a seat, and sat down. Then, he looked at the peonple in front of him
“Mr. Smith, what can we do for you?” Jaelen Watts from the Perez Family asked.
Ethan took a sip of water, looked at everyone, and went straight to the point, “I want you to submit to me.”
Everyone was shocked at these words!
Jaelen was even more outraged and stood up, exclaiming loudly, “Submit to you? Our Four Great Families have been in Chuzzle for many years and have never submitted to anyone!”
“That’s right, even at the peak of the Schroeder Family, we didn’t surrender.”
Ethan glanced at them and said lightly, “It’s because I hadn’t come before. Now that I’m here, you should submit.”
“From today on, I want each of you to give me a fifty-year-old herb every month.”
Ethan’s domineering tone instantly provoked discontent among the crowd.
Jaelen stared coldly at Ethan and said, “Mr. Smith, this is robbery and plunder! Do you think this is fair?”
Ethan replied indifferently, “You’re right. But as far as I know, the various martial arts families in Chuzzle also give offerings to you every year, right? Even some herb merchants have to sell you herbs at low prices. Aren’t you also robbing them?”
“It’s their duty.” Jaelen snorted.
Donnie Anderson from the Anderson Family also said lightly, “It’s merely the survival of the fittest. They are weak and deserve to be robbed.”
Upon hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but sneer, “That’s right, but in my eyes, what makes you any different?”
“You oppress others, and I can oppress you all the same.”
“Who gave you the courage to shout in front of me?” Conrad said coldly.
As he applied more force, Archie’s face turned red!
“Conrad… I… go fuck yourself!” Archie gritted his teeth and spat out these few words.
“Courting death!” Conrad abruptly increased his grip, and Archie’s neck was instantly broken on the spot!
Everyone present was ashen-faced, terrified.
“I give you one minute to consider,” Ethan said lightly.
After exchanging glances, Jaelen gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Smith, I… I am willing to submit!”
Ethan nodded in satisfaction and asked, “What about you?”
The remaining few also hastily agreed, ‘We are willing to submit, too!”
Ethan nodded with satisfaction, stood up slowly, and swept his gaze over them. He said, “I won’t take your herbs for nothing.”
After saying that, Ethan reached out and had three Foundation Establishment Pills in his palm.
“This pill is called the Foundation Establishment Pill, and after taking it, your strength will be increased by one small stage.” Ethan flicked his fingers, and the three pills landed in the hands of the others.
After receiving the pills, everyone bowed and said, “Thank you, Mr. Smith!”
Ethan glanced at them and said, “I hope you can deliver the herbs to me tomorrow.”
After leaving these words behind, Ethan prepared to leave.
“The King of Chuzzle is indeed overbearing.”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
Turning around, he saw an elderly man walking slowly towards them with his hands clasped behind his back..
