Chapter 6: Kneel Down and Apologize!_1
The secretary hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding, but he dared not ask more questions.
“Alright, Miss, I’ll cancel the Brown family’s invitation right away,” the secretary agreed.
Then, he started to work on the computer.
“Wait,” Emily Taylor suddenly changed her mind.
A cunning gleam flashed in her eyes: “Send the invitation to them as usual.”
“Huh?” The secretary was even more confused.
Emily Taylor blinked her watery eyes and murmured quietly, “I wonder what their expressions will be when they see Ethan Smith at the banquet…”
…
Dragon Rising Community was the most high-end residential area in River City.
And the place Quillen Taylor gifted to Ethan Smith was located in the central area.
Looking at the luxurious decorations in the room, Ethan Smith felt a bit surreal.
“I really don’t know what kind of background Miss Emily has…” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
However, Ethan Smith was very clear that favors would eventually run out. Only with enough strength could he gain the respect of others.
Ethan Smith didn’t waste any time.
He sat cross-legged on the sofa, closed his eyes slightly, and in his mind, golden lights flashed rapidly.
These golden lights contained unimaginable medical techniques and cultivation methods.
Ethan Smith browsed through the information eagerly, and soon found that these medical techniques far exceeded his expectations!
At the peak of efficiency, not only could he heal people, but even bringing the dead back to life would be possible!
As for the cultivation methods, they shocked Ethan Smith even more!
With just the early stage of Qi Refining, one could roam the world unhindered!
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would be invincible! Their lifespan could be extended to hundreds of years!
The more Ethan Smith read, the more excited he became! His eyes were burning with excitement!
“Once I embark on the path of cultivation, the Brown family will be nothing,” Ethan Smith clenched his fists, his confidence surging!
“Gary Brown, Sylvia Johnson, just wait,” a hint of madness flashed in Ethan Smith’s eyes.
He didn’t waste any more time and started absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy around him, according to the methods in his memory.
Encompassing the entire community, the qi slowly converged towards Ethan Smith.
The qi flowed through Ethan Smith’s pores to his dantian, merging with his breath.
Not until the next morning did Ethan Smith slowly open his eyes.
He exhaled a turbid breath, feeling not tired in the least, but full of energy instead!
“Is this the first layer of the Qi Refining Stage?” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.
Clenching his fists, feeling the abundant strength inside, his smile deepened.
Compared to the previous weak version of himself, Ethan Smith now had undergone a complete transformation.
Ethan Smith tried to punch, aiming at a huge rock beside him.
With a crisp “bang,” the rock instantly turned into powder!
Ethan Smith couldn’t help but gasp!
With such strength from just the first layer of Qi Refining Stage, what would happen if he progressed further?
This made Ethan Smith even more excited!
“It’s just a pity that the qi around here is too thin,” Ethan Smith sighed slightly.
After one night, the surrounding qi had already depleted. To advance any further, it would be extremely difficult.
According to his memory, other than absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, he could also make use of herbs.
The older the herbs, the more qi they contained.
After some thought, Ethan Smith decided to go to a pharmacy to buy some herbs.
He rummaged through his pocket, and found a total of 132 dollars.
This made Ethan Smith smile bitterly.
Ever since marrying Sylvia Johnson, Ethan Smith handed over all his earnings. His allowance each month depended on her mood.
For a thirty-year-old man to have only a little over a hundred dollars in his possession, people would laugh their heads off hearing this.
“It seems that even in cultivation, financial support is necessary,” Ethan Smith said with a bitter smile.
With that, he took the money and left the house.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the community, a Mercedes-Benz car blocked his way.
As soon as the car stopped, Gary Brown and Sylvia Johnson got out of the car.
“Ethan Smith, are you disgusting? Following us?” Sylvia Johnson immediately started to curse as soon as she got out of the car.
“You’ve signed the divorce agreement and you’re still clinging on? What’s the point?” Sylvia Johnson’s face was full of disgust.
Ethan Smith gave her a cold glance and said, “Don’t flatter yourself.” n/)o.-v)-e–l(-b)(1/)n
“I’m flattering myself?” Sylvia Johnson pointed to the tip of her nose, almost laughing out loud.
“You’re blocking me here early in the morning, and you’re calling me self-important?” Sylvia Johnson said coldly.
Gary Brown stepped forward, patting Ethan Smith’s shoulder.
“Kid, Sylvia is now my woman. If you dare to harass her again, I’ll break your legs. Understand?” Gary Brown said teasingly.
Looking at the shameless couple, Ethan Smith felt nauseous.
He couldn’t figure out how he had spent three years with such an awful person.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath and said coldly, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in such trash. Keep it to yourself.”
“What the fuck did you just say? Who did you say is trash?” Sylvia Johnson was so angry she almost exploded, shouting like a shrew.
Gary Brown immediately moved forward to block Ethan Smith’s way.
With a stern face, he said, “Ethan Smith, are you asking for death? I warn you, kneel down and apologize to my wife right now, or I’ll break your legs!”
Ethan Smith pushed away Gary Brown’s hand, clenching his fists and said coldly, “I’ll give you a chance too, kneel down and apologize to me, and I won’t hold it against you!”
