Chapter 707: Chapter 707: The Meaning of Emily Taylor_1
Rex Osborne’s words indeed moved Ethan Smith.
Even if he found the Mystic Realm, Ethan wouldn’t know how to take Emily Taylor away with him.
More importantly, Ethan had already failed many times.
Facing the powerful Capital City Martial Arts Association, even if Ethan tried his best, it would be challenging to save Emily by himself.
Unless the Capital City Martial Arts Association disappeared from this world.
But that would be an even longer process, and there would be no chance before becoming a Martial Saint.
“Mr. Smith, what do you think?” Rex Osborne continued to ask.
Ethan raised his head and said solemnly, “What do you expect from me in return?”
Rex Osborne took a sip of water and said with a faint smile, “Our goal is simple. We want to befriend Mr. Smith because we see great potential in you.”
This answer left Ethan unsure how to respond.
Rex Osborne seemed sincere, but Ethan felt that something was wrong, as if there was a hidden conspiracy.
After pondering for a moment, Ethan said solemnly, “Alright, as long as you can save Emily Taylor, I will agree to anything.”
“Hahaha!” Rex Osborne was overjoyed.
He stood up, walked over to Ethan, and shook his hand, saying, “Let’s hope for a pleasant cooperation!”
“Hold on,” Ethan suddenly changed the subject.
“You, Halcroen Sect, have always emphasized that you would offer me an abundance of resources, right?” Ethan asked.
Rex Osborne nodded, “Of course.”
“Good.” Ethan nodded.
“I urgently need a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material now. I don’t think the Halcroen Sect would refuse me, right?” Ethan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Rex Osborne’s face darkened.
Perry Elliott sneered, “Ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials? Do you know what it means? When such materials appear, it would be enough to attract all the Great Families to take action! And now you are asking for a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material?”
Ethan rolled his eyes and responded, “Tsk, then what do you mean by pouring resources in your words? What can you do for me in the end?”
With that one sentence, Perry Elliott was left speechless.
“Mr. Osborne, it’s alright if you can’t do it,” Ethan said.
After dropping that remark, Ethan turned around and was about to leave.
At that moment, Rex Osborne quickly blocked Ethan’s way.
He laughed and said, “Mr. Smith, as Perry said, this ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials indeed hold significant meaning. Even for the Halcroen Sect, it involves under considerable pressure. I’m afraid I have to apply to the higher-ups. How about waiting for my news?”
“Fine,” Ethan slouched backward with his hands, looking relaxed.
“In three days, I’ll have Clarissa Johnson bring you the news,” Rex Osborne said.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for the good news,” Ethan nodded.
Afterward, Ethan turned around and left the Great Hall.
The resources of this Mystic Realm had probably been emptied by the Halcroen Sect, and Ethan didn’t find any gains after a full circle.
As a result, Ethan saw no need to stay and left the Mystic Realm.
Once Ethan left, Rex Osborne’s face darkened instantly.
“Mr. Osborne, do you really think Ethan Smith will work for us?” Perry Elliott said coldly.
“I don’t think it’s very likely either. Ethan Smith is rebellious and will never belong to us,” others chimed in as well. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Rex Osborne snorted coldly and replied, “No need for more talk, I have my plans.”
After saying that, Rex Osborne turned around and left the Great Hall.
In his room, there was a man in a black robe.
“The Capital City Martial Arts Association would definitely bring her into the Mystic Realm for it is the safest place.”
Rex Osborne couldn’t help but be amazed, murmuring, “Just what kind of identity does this Emily Taylor have for us to go through all this trouble?”
The black-robed man laughed lightly, “Let’s put it this way – once we have Emily Taylor, our Halcroen Sect won’t need to be cornered overseas anymore.”
This shocked Rex Osborne even more!
A woman who had never practiced martial arts could have such a huge effect?
It was truly unimaginable!
…
After leaving the Mystic Realm, Clarissa Johnson said apologetically, “Mr. Smith, you won’t hold a grudge about the Perry Elliott incident, will you? The Halcroen Sect still looks forward to your joining.”
Ethan Smith smiled faintly, “Of course I won’t mind. Besides, I killed so many people from the Halcroen Sect, so their attitude couldn’t be too friendly.”
“On the contrary, if they were in an excessively humble attitude, it would make me suspicious.”
Clarissa Johnson nodded, smiling, “That’s good, that’s good.”
Ethan Smith was in no hurry to leave Gyeon City, but planned to wait for Rex Osborne’s news.
If he could really get a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb, the trip would be worthwhile.
At night.
Ethan Smith sat alone on a mountain range in Gyeon City.
Bathed in white light, his breath slowly circulated within his body.
“With my current state, I have enough strength to step into the mid-term Military Marquis realm,” Ethan Smith thought as he sensed the energy within his body.
However, he didn’t rush to break through but continued to suppress his energy.
Advancing too quickly into the mid-term Military Marquis realm would be detrimental to Ethan Smith’s subsequent breakthrough.
He planned to wait for an opportunity, one that could directly allow him to step into the late-term Military Marquis realm.
