Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 656 - 657: 657: Why do you want to help me?

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Why do you want to help me?

Ignacio Burke’s momentum was extremely strong, and under its blast, Ethan Smith couldn’t bear it any longer, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to one knee on the ground!

Seeing the look on Ethan Smith’s face, Ignacio Burke’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.

He said coldly, “Ethan Smith, do you know that we are all chasing after you now?”

“You caused an uproar at the auction, injuring so many people, and you still dare to show your face!”

Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “I came to find you because I have important matters.”

“Important matters?” Ignacio Burke’s eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, “What matters?”

“I want to cooperate with you.” Ethan Smith leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.

Hearing this, Ignacio Burke couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Ethan Smith, who do you think you are, to cooperate with me? Do I need to cooperate with you?!”

“You’ve injured so many people, you’ve already broken the law. I’m going to take you back now!”

Ethan Smith gritted his teeth and continued, “Commander Burke, even if you want to arrest me, there is no need to rush. Why not listen to what I can bring you?”

Ignacio Burke narrowed his eyes, seemingly finding Ethan Smith’s words reasonable.

He said coldly, “Fine, I’ll give you three minutes.”

Ethan Smith looked at Ignacio Burke and said, “You should know that I am an alchemist who possesses many Divine Rank Pill Formulas.”

“So what?” Ignacio Burke cast Ethan Smith a glance.

Ethan Smith continued, “I can provide Pills for the Capital City Battle Zone, even the entire Pyro nation.”

“These Pills can massively enhance the strength of warriors!”

“In addition, I also have a Breathing Training Skill set that can allow everyone to comprehend qi, turning all warriors into martial artists!”

Only Edward Green had been taught this Breathing Training Skill, which Ethan Smith’s father had left behind.

But now, Ethan Smith had no other choice, he had to offer up something substantial to negotiate with Ignacio Burke.

Ignacio Burke narrowed his eyes, examining Ethan Smith up and down, and said coldly, “What do you want?”

Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “I want you to rescue someone.”

“To rescue Emily Taylor?” Ignacio Burke asked.

Ethan Smith shook his head, “No, to rescue me.”

This made Ignacio Burke feel puzzled.

“Rescue you? Aren’t you standing right here?” Ignacio Burke frowned.

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I will be captured very soon by the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and if I am captured, they will definitely kill me.”

“I hope that when the time comes, Commander Burke can represent the Capital City Battle Zone and go to the Capital City Martial Arts Association to demand my release.”

Ignacio Burke couldn’t help but say coldly, “If you have the time, why don’t you just run away?”

“What I want is not escape, but safety!” Ethan Smith said coldly.

“If I can escape for a day, can I escape for a lifetime? Do I have to run to a foreign country and never come back?”

“Moreover, with Emily Taylor in their hands, they will definitely use her to force me to show myself.”

Ignacio Burke seemed to understand Ethan Smith’s intentions, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “Ethan Smith, do you think you’re too self-confident to come to me for negotiation?”

“Why do I have to go through all this trouble? I could just take you back directly and force you to hand over the pill formulas and Breathing Training Skill!”

Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, “Commander Burke, you’re welcome to try and see if I will open my mouth …”

“Are you provoking me?” Ignacio Burke’s face turned cold, and his momentum suddenly erupted.

But Ethan Smith was not afraid in the face of the strong pressure from Ignacio Burke.

He stared directly at Ignacio Burke, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Commander Burke, he’s been injured so badly; don’t tease him,”

At this moment, a head suddenly appeared on the second floor.

At a glance, Pavilion Master was standing in front of the window.

Ethan Smith was startled and surprisedly asked, “Lord Pavilion Master? Why are you here?”

Pavilion Master shook her head without giving an explanation.

Meanwhile, Ignacio Burke, who was downstairs, also retracted his momentum and waved with a smile, “She came here to find me because of your matter, naturally.”

Ethan Smith opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but Ignacio Burke waved his hand and said, “Come on, let’s go upstairs.”

Ethan Smith, still confused, followed Ignacio Burke to the second floor.

Inside the tea room.

Ethan Smith sat in front of the two people, his face full of doubt.

“I didn’t expect you to survive under the Martial Saint Weapon.” Martha Evans took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

Ethan Smith smiled bitterly, “It was just a fluke.”

“Lord Pavilion Master, why are you here?” Ethan Smith asked.

Ignacio Burke, who was beside them, explained, “You two really don’t know each other. Martha Evans also wanted me to go to the Capital City Martial Arts Association to rescue someone.”

“But I didn’t expect that you could escape.” Martha Evans laughed.

Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith’s heart couldn’t help but warm up.

“Lord Pavilion Master, thank you.” Ethan Smith tried to stand up and salute, but his injuries were too severe to even stand.

“Just sit there.” Martha Evans waved her palm and a gentle force pressed down on Ethan Smith’s shoulder.

Ethan Smith looked grateful and turned to Ignacio Burke, saying, “Commander Burke, please promise me anyway.”

Ignacio Burke said solemnly, “To be honest, if it weren’t for Martha Evans’s sake, I wouldn’t have made any deal with you.”

Martha Evans smiled and tried to mediate, “Ethan Smith is young, don’t bear a grudge against him.”

Ignacio Burke nodded and said, “It’s getting late, I should rest.”

After these words, he turned around and left.

“You can heal your wounds here temporarily during these few days,” Martha Evans said.

Then, she flipped her palm and took out the medicinal cauldron engraved with a phoenix, along with several herbs.

“I’ll try my best to help you heal during these days,” Martha Evans said.

Ethan Smith nodded, and then looked up at Martha Evans, whispering, “Lord Pavilion Master, I have a doubt in my heart… Why are you helping me?”
