“Ignacio Burke?” Dexter Blair’s face suddenly didn’t look very good.

If Ethan Smith really became Ignacio Burke’s disciple, it would take some effort to touch him.

“Yes, but apparently Ethan Smith refused, ” continued the steward.

Dexter Blair slightly frowned, couldn’t help but sneer, “He actually refused? I didn’t expect Ignacio Burke to have a moment of rejection, haha!”

The steward isn’t as optimistic as Dexter Blair, he said obsequiously, “Young

Master, since Ignacio Burke has noticed Ethan Smith. He must value him a lot.”

“It’s only been half a year, and he’s the talk of the town. Who knows how far he can go if we give him another half a year…”

Dexter Blair scoffed, “You really think highly of him, he is now nothing more than a grandmaster. Do you think he will be able to move up several levels in half a year?”

The steward said solemnly, “Even so, if Ignacio Burke goes to protect him…” “Protect him?” Dexter Blair couldn’t contain his laughter.

“Ethan Smith publicly challenged in the media, saying he’ll decide the winner and loser in half a year. Is Ignacio Burke going to openly protect someone?”

The steward suddenly realized and couldn’t help but laughed, “I didn’t expect

Ethan Smith to dig a pit for himself…”

Dexter Blair narrowed his eyes and said, “The most troublesome one right now is not Ignacio Burke, but Mike Taylor.”

“As long as he’s alive, I won’t feel comfortable!”

With Mike Taylor present, Dexter Blair wouldn’t dare to challenge the authority of the Taylor family.

“Just wait when you die, I will desecrate your beloved granddaughter right in front of your grave!” A hint of coldness flashed in Dexter Blair’s eyes.

Ethan Smith followed the Chuzzle Battle Zone on the journey home.

After experiencing the conversation with the Taylor family, the pressure on Ethan Smith increased significantly.

The urgent sensation prodded him not to take any rest.

Initially, Ethan Smith planned to go straight to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, but now with less than half a month away from the New Year, it’s not the best time to go to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

After contemplating, Ethan Smith decided to go to the Divine Alchemist

Pavilion after the New Year.

After arriving in Chuzzle, Ethan Smith parted ways with Commander Wood and left the Chuzzle Battle Zone.

As soon as he got home, William Richardson called to inquire about the situation.

When he learned that the Chuzzle Battle Zone came in first place, William Richardson was elated.

“Ethan Smith, you’re quite the surprise!” William Richardson said excitedly over the phone.

At this point, Clare Richardson’s voice came over the phone.

She shouted over the phone, “Ethan Smith, when are you coming to our house to play?!”

William Richardson scolded, “Go go go, get out of here!”

Ethan Smith was amused but all he could say on the phone was, “We’ll see when the time comes.”

William Richardson changes the topic. He said, “Ethan Smith, where are you going for the New Year?”

Mentioning this topic, Ethan Smith couldn’t help feeling a bit sad.

During festivities one misses his kin the most. Ethan Smith usually spent his New Year at the Johnson family home.

Now, he was divorced from Sylvia Johnson and he felt lonely.

Ethan Smith sighed and said, “I’ll go back to River City, after all, it’s where I was born.”

William Richardson said, “Why don’t you come to my house?”

“Yes, yes, yes, come to our house for New Year!” Clare Richardson said excitedly.

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I should go back to River City, I’ve lived there for over twenty years.”

Seeing this, William Richardson didn’t insist.

After hanging up, Ethan Smith tidied up and prepared to go back to River City.

“Edward Green, are you going home?” asked Ethan Smith.

Edward Green shook his head and said, “I haven’t been back for several years now.”

“Then take your sister and come back with me to River City.” Ethan Smith said.

Edward Green nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the three of them packed their belongings and headed to River City.

About ten days left before the New Year, and River City already has the New Year atmosphere.

Many people who work outside have gradually returned home.

River City seemed to be getting lively.

Ethan Smith drove back to Longyue Community.

Just as they entered the community gate, Edward Green pointed outside and said, “Mr. Smith, isn’t that your ex-wife?”

Looking up, he saw Sylvia Johnson.

At this moment, she was surrounded by four or five young men.

Listening in, Ethan Smith could hear these youngsters pointing at Sylvia Johnson and cursing.

“When are you going to pay us back? If you don’t pay us soon we will throw you into a kiln!”

“Gentlemen, I… I don’t have the money right now. Can I pay you back in a few days?” Sylvia Johnson pleaded.

The young man raised his leg and kicked Sylvia in the stomach, grabbing her hair, and said: “In a few days? How many days has it already been?”

Upon witnessing this scene, Ethan Smith did not show any emotion on his face.

Just then, Sylvia saw Ethan standing there.

She desperately struggled to get away and ran frantically to Ethan.

“Ethan, save me, please… save me…” Sylvia hugged Ethan’s leg and spoke in a panic.

The young men hurriedly chased after her, pointing at Ethan’s nose, they said: “Hey, kid, what’s your relationship with her?”

“He is my husband, he is my husband!” Sylvia said urgently.

Just hearing the word “husband” made Ethan feel slightly nauseous.

“Are you her husband, huh? Great, she owes us three hundred thousand. Are you going to pay it off for her!” the youngsters cursed.

Ethan glanced at them and said: “We are divorced. I have nothing to do with her.’

“You say you’re divorced and it’s that easy?” The youngsters blocked Ethan’s path.

Edward Green sternly said: “Don’t test our patience. Get lost now!”

But the young men continued to harass. Ethan Smith finally lost his patience, waved his hand and knocked them right to the ground.

As those men crawled up from the ground, they pointed at Ethan and said,

“You wait and see!”

Having said this, they turned around and ran away.

Sylvia grabbed Ethan’s calf, saying: “You still love me, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you help me teach them a lesson?”

Ethan’s face was cold as he said: “Sylvia, when you say this, don’t you feel nauseous? Go away, just seeing you makes me sick.”

“I don’t believe you can be so cruel to me! You used to treat me so well!” Sylvia pleaded.

“That was the past, this is the present.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

Immediately after, Ethan ordered: “Edward Green, make her leave.”

“Yes, Mr. Smith.” Edward Green immediately stepped forward, grabbed Sylvia’s arm, and threw her out.

Sylvia hit the ground hard with hot blood flowing from her nose.

But Ethan Smith did not look back as he left.

Over the next few days, Ethan rarely left the house.

He spent all day at home, either cultivating or concocting potions.

In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year was just around the corner.

Not many people knew of Ethan’s return.

The large villa seemed quite desolate and lonely.

Just when Ethan was about to spend the New Year in this way, Edward Green came back excitedly.

He beamed and said: “Mr. Smith, I have reserved the New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s getting late, we should go!”

“New Year’s Eve dinner?” Ethan was slightly surprised.

Edward Green said: “It’s Chinese New Year, it must be celebrated in style. Nowadays, rich people like to book hotels for the celebration, right? Let’s go and indulge in the festivities.”

Ethan considered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: “Alright.” So, they drove to a hotel.

At this moment, the hotel’s entrance was filled with cars, many bearing out-of-town license plates.

Edward Green took Ethan Smith to the front desk and then said: “My name is

Edward Green. I have already booked Table three.”

“Please wait a moment.” The receptionist checked her computer.

She raised her head with an apologetic expression and said: “Sir, I’m sorry, but your table is already occupied.”

Edward Green was startled and said in a hurry: “Table three is supposed to be mine, I have even paid for it!”

The receptionist said awkwardly: “But… there are already people at that table.” “What’s going on?” At this point, a well-dressed man walked over.

Seeing this man, the receptionist immediately said: “Manager, this gentleman said he booked Table three, but there are already people there…”

The manager waved his hand and said: “I’ll handle this.”

After saying this, he walked up to Ethan and Edward Green, and said smiling lightly: “Sir, I apologize. Your table is indeed occupied. To compensate you, our hotel is willing to refund twice your deposit. How do you feel about that?”

“Screw your refund! Who needs your petty cash?” Edward Green spoke angrily. “I made the reservation ten days ago, and now you tell me it’s occupied?”
