Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 576: Want to kill me? I’m here!

Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Want to kill me? I’m here!

Although both were Military Marquises, there was a huge gap between a Sixth Rank Military Marquis and a First Rank Military Marquis.

A Sixth Rank Military Marquis, also known as a mid-term Military Marquis, was vastly different from a newly promoted Marquis.

For the Capital City Martial Arts Association, they rarely dispatched a mid-term Military Marquis nowadays.

Even during the decisive battle between Ethan Smith and Dexter Blair, there were only three First Rank Military Marquises.

Now the arrival of Jordan Richards bore witness to how enraged the Capital City Martial Arts Association was by this matter.

“Ignorant youngster.” Jordan Richards coldly remarked as he looked at the chaotic scene.

“It’s been many years since anyone dared to provoke the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

As he spoke, a faint murderous spirit emanated from Jordan Richards’ body.

Just a touch of murderous spirit sent chills down everyone’s spine!

“Mr. Richards, the higher-ups are having a meeting. Let’s wait for their decision.” Someone beside him suggested.

Jordan Richards let out a cold snort and left without a word.

…

High-level Association meeting.

Those higher-ups were still hidden in the dark, no different from previous meetings.

However, today’s meeting seemed to have a peculiar atmosphere.

Emerson Holmes was seriously injured, but he still obediently sat there, as if waiting for the judgment of the higher-ups.

“We can’t let him continue to grow.” Someone coldly said.

“We must take advantage of the situation and erase him while everything is under control.”

“The martial arts world cannot tolerate such characters!”

Hearing the higher-ups’ words, Emerson Holmes finally sighed in relief.

He stood up and suggested, “Everyone, I recommend directly dispatching the Martial Arts Association’s top combat power. We must not allow Ethan Smith even a slightest chance to escape.”

The higher-ups coldly responded, “Emerson, you arrange it. As soon as Ethan Smith is found, kill him immediately!”

“Yes,” Emerson replied with a hint of excitement.

Today, Ethan Smith’s performance had already exceeded Emerson’s imagination.

Having just entered the ranks of the Marquises and already showing great strength, it was unimaginable what kind of disaster he would bring in the future.

Ethan Smith was filled with grief and unbearable pain.

But reason told him that the current Capital City was a dangerous place, and he might encounter fatal consequences if he didn’t leave.

Ethan Smith stood in an empty space for a long time, hesitating to make a move.

His face was extremely cold, and anger filled his chest.

Whenever he closed his eyes, the image of Emily Taylor imprisoned would emerge in his mind.

“Taylor family… Taylor family!” Ethan Smith was in agony.

He couldn’t understand why the Taylor family would allow the Capital City Martial Arts Association to treat Emily Taylor this way!

Kylan Taylor, Emily’s uncle, why would he be so cruel!

A flash of intense killing intent flickered in Ethan’s eyes!

His killing intent targeted not only the Capital City Martial Arts Association but also the Taylor family!

Ethan Smith took a deep breath, trying to remain as calm as possible.

This time, breaking into the Capital City Martial Arts Association allowed Ethan Smith to have a general understanding of their strength.

Even military marquises could be imprisoned, so the strength of the Capital City Martial Arts Association must be far beyond imagination!

Furthermore, the divine artifact hanging in the depths of the prison could easily break Ethan Smith’s defense!

No one knew what kind of magical artifact it was.

On the other hand, all the major aristocratic families in Capital City received the news at the same time.

Taylor family meeting.

The four brothers gathered together.

Kylan Taylor was smoking a cigar, casually commenting, “That Ethan Smith has quite the courage, daring to barge into the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

Upon hearing his words, Hugh Taylor’s face momentarily revealed a trace of unnaturalness.

Kylan Taylor glanced at him and said, “I heard Ethan Smith went for Emily. Hugh, seems like he cares about your daughter more than you do.”

Hugh Taylor’s face turned cold, and a trace of anger flashed in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said, “It was all arranged by my eldest brother. I believe there won’t be any problems.”

“Hahaha!” Kylan Taylor laughed loudly.

“Hugh, you got that right. Although Emily is disobedient, she’s still part of our Taylor family. She represents the face of our family.”

“No matter how powerful the Capital City Martial Arts Association is, they wouldn’t dare to mess with the Taylor family, right?”

Hugh Taylor’s anger was already brewing inside him, but he maintained a calm appearance.

“Eldest brother, let’s find an opportunity to get Emily out,” Hugh Taylor finally said after hesitating for a long time.

Kylan Taylor took a puff of his cigar and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I will go to get her. As for whether they will give me face, it’s hard to say.”

As he spoke, Kylan Taylor looked at those around him and asked with a faint smile, “What do you all think of Ethan Smith?”

“Eldest brother, I suggest getting rid of Ethan Smith as soon as possible,” Marcus Taylor proposed.

“Furthermore, I heard that the Capital City Martial Arts Association had deployed a total of six Military Marquises, and all of them failed to stop Ethan Smith. One of them was even slain.”

At this moment, Hugh Taylor suddenly stood up and said, “Eldest brother, since Ethan Smith has achieved so much, have you ever considered marrying Emily to him?”

“In this way, the Taylor family could gain another outstanding Military Marquis and resolve the crisis.”

However, his words enraged Kylan Taylor.

He slammed the table and sternly said, “The Taylor family’s crisis? Does our Taylor family have a crisis? Does a mere Ethan Smith bring a crisis to our family?!”

Hugh Taylor frowned, “Eldest brother, that’s not what I meant.”

Kylan Taylor snorted, “Marry Emily to him? Hugh, is there dog shit in your head?”

“If Emily is married to Ethan Smith, wouldn’t it be telling the world that our Taylor family has surrendered?”

“If we bow our heads to a rural man, where is our Taylor family’s dignity!”

Several words left Hugh Taylor speechless.

For an aristocratic family, reputation seemed to be more important than anything else.

“Just a mere Ethan Smith, I’ll have someone kill him right away,” Kylan Taylor scoffed.

“If one Military Marquis can’t kill him, I’ll ask for ten! If ten can’t kill him, I’ll ask for a Martial Saint! Our Taylor family can crush him with money!”

Kylan Taylor indeed had such confidence. After all, they possessed a wealth rivaling nations and connections.

“I’ll head to the Capital City Martial Arts Association soon and find someone to kill Ethan Smith!” Kylan Taylor declared coldly.

“At the same time, I’ll offer a bounty. Whoever kills Ethan Smith will be rewarded with ten billion! Is that enough now!”

No one dared to say anything in response to the enraged Kylan Taylor.

“You don’t have to bother, I’m here if you want to kill me.”

However, just then, a sudden voice rang out!

Everyone turned to see a young man, his face icy cold and murderous, striding in from the doorway.
