Translator: 549690339
Clare Richardson’s worries were not unfounded.
Her physical constitution would eventually draw attention.
“I know about you and Sister Emily’s story, also about your deal with Dexter Blair,” Clare said without being asked.
“Earlier, I thought you weren’t good enough for Emily, but now, I think you’re the only one fit for her, so you have to win.”
“If I really can help improve your abilities…l… I feel like I should help.” Towards the end of her speech, Clare’s voice was barely audible, like that of a
mosquito.
“Don’t be impulsive, and you’re forbidden from having such thoughts, ” Ethan Smith rebuked sternly.
“I don’t need your help, I can win against Dexter Blair. As for you… I’ll do everything I can to protect you.” Ethan squatted down to face her.
Seeing this, Clare swiftly replied, “You must promise. If anything happens to me, you’ll be responsible.”
“Alright, alright. I’m responsible,” Ethan replied with a note of helplessness.
“Go meditate, don’t waste any more time.”
Clare acceded, walking back to where she had previously been sitting.
Ethan glanced at Conrad Schroeder, and the two went under the phantom face.
Looking up at the phantom face conglomerating in the sky, Ethan couldn’t help but marvel.
What was buried underneath that could trigger such a terrifying vision?
“Mr. Smith, what do you need me to do?” Conrad asked.
Ethan Smith pointed at the ground beneath their feet and said, “Dig down from here. As deep as you can, until you find something.”
Conrad nodded; unquestionably, Conrad’s physical power was an excellent choice for digging.
Accompanying the duo’s movements, a large hole appeared in the ground. The hole grew deeper and deeper, stretching more than ten meters in a blink of an eye.
Regrettably, there was nothing underneath.
“Could I have dug in the wrong place?” Ethan pondered, frowning.
“Mr. Smith, should we keep digging?” Conrad asked.
Ethan nodded: “Keep digging!”
Therefore, the two started working again, digging downwards.
Another ten meters and they still hadn’t seen anything.
At this time, it was gradually growing dark, and Ethan and Conrad were drenched with sweat.
“Did I really dig in the wrong place? Or… did I guess wrong? Is the object not underground at all?” Ethan started having doubts.
He tried to sense the surrounding dark energy, but discovered that the dark energy did not originate from underground but seemed to surge from all directions.
“Should we keep digging?” Conrad said, panting heavily.
Ethan Smith gruffly spoke: “Never mind. Let’s go back up first.”
Conrad Schroeder complied, and the two climbed out of the hole they’d dug.
“Mr. Smith, what should we do now?” Conrad questioned. Ethan Smith contemplated before saying: “Let’s go back first.”
“Go back? Just give up like that?” Conrad exclaimed in surprise.
Ethan Smith bitter-smiled, “Trying to guess may have been incorrect in the first place. If I really can’t find it, then it signifies that this is not supposed to belong to me.”
Upon seeing this, Conrad didn’t say anything more.
Subsequently, the three of them left the place.
In the following days, Ethan Smith prepped the pills for the Dragon Tiger team in advance and asked Edward Green to deliver them to the battle zone.
Ethan Smith then took Clare Richardson to the battlefield day in and day out to train in solitude.
