Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Cooperation with the Halcroen Sect

The man said solemnly, “The higher-ups are getting more and more dissatisfied with our Capital City Martial Arts Association. Try not to use our manpower as much as possible.”

The old woman’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she snorted lightly, “What’s the reason this time?”

The man sighed and said, “The higher-ups don’t want to see a single organization monopolize, understand?”

It seemed that the old woman understood something.

Last time Mr. Dawson’s words were very clear, they demanded that the resources of the Capital City Martial Arts Association be released.

“I understand.” The old woman took a deep breath.

“As long as we are willing, we can support any organization at any time.”

“Furthermore… our presence can be seen in every sect under the sky.”

The man nodded slightly and said, “As long as you understand.”

Instead of saying more, the old woman turned her gaze to the head of the Heaven Swallowing Python.

Several minutes later.

The old woman appeared in the prison of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

By her side was Emerson Holmes.

“Pick a few Marquis and have them follow me,” the old woman coldly ordered as she glanced at the prisoners.

Emerson cautiously asked, “What do you need them for?”

The old woman’s face turned cold, and she scolded, “You don’t need to know so much. Just follow my orders.”

Emerson hurriedly nodded and said, “I understand.”

Acting on the old woman’s request, he selected eight Marquis from the prison.

The eight of them thought they’d be specially treated, but they had no idea that they would soon become food for the Heaven Swallowing Python.

Using Marquis as food was a treatment that couldn’t help but horrify people.

…

At this time, Ethan Smith was in the basement.

“The Capital City Martial Arts Association has already abandoned you,” Ethan said coldly, looking at Davy Barnett.

Davy’s eyebrows furrowed, and he loudly scolded, “Impossible! I’m the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, the holder of the highest power. I… ”

“Are you?” Ethan interrupted Davy’s words.

“We both know that you, Davy Barnett, are nothing but a pawn. The real mastermind is not in plain sight, right?”

Davy’s face became difficult to look at, and his expression changed repeatedly.

“I have contributed decades to the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and now I have even more powerful control. They cannot possibly abandon me!” Davy said coldly.

Ethan scoffed, “Don’t deceive yourself, Davy. You can abandon a pawn at any time, let alone them.”

“Impossible, impossible!” Davy’s face was distorted with anger and full of unwillingness!

He roared angrily, his voice echoing non-stop in the basement.

Under this tremendous force, the basement started to collapse!

Ethan did not pay any more attention to Davy.

He turned and left the basement with a trace of worry on his face.

“It seems… I should start considering my options,” Ethan thought secretly.

After killing Davy, the Capital City Martial Arts Association would no longer be restrained. They could send people at any time or even attack Green Moon Villa!

There are now hundreds of disciples in Green Moon Villa, and Ethan couldn’t possibly escape on his own.

“I wonder if it would be useful to set up a mountain protection formation at Green Moon Villa,” Ethan thought to himself.

With Ethan’s methods, it wasn’t difficult to set up a great protection array for the mountain.

But the Capital City Martial Arts Association has even more experts! Perhaps they could break the formation at any time!

This couldn’t help but trouble Ethan.

At nighttime.

Ethan Smith couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

So, he simply got up, walked out of Green Moon Villa, and planned to find a place to go for a walk.

He came to a quiet bar and ordered a drink.

Listening to the gentle and soothing music, Ethan’s thoughts couldn’t help but relax a lot.

“I might have been really tired lately,” Ethan sighed.

Almost every day, Ethan’s spirit was in a state of high tension.

This sudden relaxation made Ethan feel indescribably wonderful.

“Drinking alone?”

At that moment, a woman’s voice suddenly came from beside Ethan.

Turning around, he saw a very curvy woman with large wavy hair sitting behind him.

“What, don’t recognize me?” The woman took a sip of her drink and said faintly.

This woman seemed somewhat familiar, but Ethan couldn’t remember for a moment.

“We’ve met once in a bar in Capital City.” The woman reminded.

Ethan suddenly came to his senses.

At that time, Ethan was still hidden in his cloak, and this woman had come to strike up a conversation and even gave Ethan a business card.

“If I remember correctly, your name should be… Clarissa Johnson.” Ethan looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman smiled faintly, “It seems Mr. Smith still remembers me.”

A smile couldn’t help but appear on Ethan’s face.

He looked at the woman in front of him and sneered, “This is the second time you’ve come to find me. Just say it, what do you want with me?”

Clarissa took a sip of her drink and laughed, “What if I say I want to win you over, do you believe me?”

“Win me over?” Ethan raised his eyebrows, wanting to laugh.

Clarissa nodded seriously, “Yes, win you over. Don’t you want to have a strong backing?”

“Strong backing? How strong? Could it be more powerful than the Capital City Martial Arts Association? Or have more influence than the Taylor family?” Ethan couldn’t help but scoff.

Clarissa didn’t get angry. She smiled faintly, “We can’t compare to them indeed, but that’s only domestically.”

“Oh, so it’s another foreign organization, the Halcroen Sect? Or that Ice Palace?” Ethan laughed relentlessly.

Clarissa was silent for a moment and then nodded, “Indeed, I am from the Halcroen Sect.”

Hearing this, Ethan sneered even more.

“Your Halcroen Sect is really shameless. It’s been two years, and you’re still entangling me.” Ethan sneered.

“From just stepping onto the path of cultivation, to now being a Marquis, there have been your shadows, it’s truly amazing.”

Clarissa smiled faintly, “This also indirectly proves our vision.”

Ethan said coldly, “If you don’t want to die, get lost now. I have no interest in your notorious organization.”

“Notorious?” A hint of ridicule appeared on Clarissa’s face.

“What counts as right, and what counts as evil? If we were to really calculate, wouldn’t you, Ethan Smith, also be notorious?”

“The Capital City Martial Arts Association is indeed prestigious, but do you think they are some noble and righteous faction? Are they good people?”

Hearing Clarissa’s words, a hint of surprise flashed across Ethan’s face.

He shook his drink in his hand and then said, “Not bad, you successfully moved me. Keep talking.”

Clarissa said, “Our Halcroen Sect is indeed notorious, but we also have extremely strong strength, which is all beneficial and harmless to you.”

“If you’re willing, we can even cooperate.”

Ethan thought for a moment and said, “How do you prove your strength?”

Clarissa smiled faintly, “Mr. Smith can make a request, and you can see if we can do it.”

A smile surfaced on Ethan’s face.

He shook his drink and said faintly, “Fine, if you can find where Emily Taylor is, then I’ll believe in you. How about that?”
