Ethan Smith subconsciously glanced in that direction, only to see the words coming from the mouth of a young man dressed very delicately.

“Of course, you’re the Younger Lord of Schroeder Family.”

“No matter how capable Ethan Smith is, he wouldn’t dare to go against the

Schroeder Family.”

“Young Lord Schroeder, let me toast to you!”

Ethan shook his head but didn’t think much about it.

After all, many young people like to brag, let alone this “Younger Lord of Schroeder Family” he had never met before.

“Elder Hansen, let’s find a place to sit down.” Ethan looked at Elder Hansen and smiled.

Elder Hansen appeared somewhat restrained as he had never attended such an event before and was naturally not at ease.

The two found a relatively secluded spot to sit down, enjoying the delicious food and wine, feeling very happy.

At this moment, Ashton Nicholson suddenly came over from not far away. After seeing Ethan, his expression seemed extremely unnatural.

“Mr… Mr. Smith, how come you’re here?” Ashton said awkwardly.

Ethan smiled and said, “William Richardson brought me here, probably to let me see the world, what’s wrong?”

“No… Nothing.” Ashton hastily shook his head.

Then he simply sat down beside Ethan.

“Mr. Smith, if there’s nothing else, how about I take you to find some herbs now? This place is so boring.” Ashton said with a forced smile.

Ethan rubbed his chin and said, “Indeed, it’s quite boring here, but… if we just leave like this, it would be impolite.”

Ashton wanted to say more but was interrupted by Ethan’s wave of dismissal, saying, “It’s fine, we’re not in a rush, we can go tomorrow.”

Seeing this, Ashton didn’t say any more and just sat there feeling awkward.

Ethan became even more puzzled by Ashton’s behavior.

He joked, “You seem to be in quite a hurry.”

“No… No, it’s just a bit hot.” Ashton wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

Ethan felt even more suspicious, but didn’t ask any further questions.

Soon, William Richardson came over from not far away.

Upon seeing William, Ashton got up and greeted him, “Chief Richardson.”

William nodded at Ashton and said, “Ashton, I haven’t seen your father around?”

Ashton replied, “My dad had something to do today, so he left early.”

William acknowledged and then looked at Ethan, saying, “Ethan, come on, I’ll introduce you to some people.”

“Alright.” Ethan got up and was about to follow William.

At this moment, Ashton suddenly shouted, “Chief Richardson! I have something to discuss with you.”

William’s brow furrowed slightly and said, “Just say what you need.”

Ashton said awkwardly, “Uncle William, can I have a word with you in private?” Although William was a little puzzled, he followed Ashton to the side.

After walking a distance away, Ashton whispered, “Uncle William, it’s better to take Ethan Smith away quickly.”

“Huh?” William was surprised, “Take Ethan away? Why?”

Ashton forced a smile, “If we don’t leave now, there might be a conflict between Ethan Smith and Miles Schroeder.”

“Miles Schroeder?” Even William, hearing this name, furrowed his brow.

“What’s going on?” William hurriedly asked.

Ashton immediately recounted the incident to William.

“You know, with Ethan Smith’s character, will he let it go easily?” Ashton said with a wry smile.

A trace of seriousness flashed across William’s face.

He couldn’t help but recall when he first went to see Ethan Smith for treatment.”You’re right.” William Richardson took a deep breath.

“This little brat from the Schroeder Family is getting more and more arrogant!” William said coldly.

That being said, William had no solution.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

So, he turned around and walked back to Ethan Smith.

“Ethan Smith, I just got a call, there’s some urgent matters, let’s go quickly.” William said.

Ethan felt more and more that something was wrong, he frowned and said,

“William, why so sudden?”

“Ah, it’s urgent, and there’s no time to explain.” William pulled Ethan and prepared to leave.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

At a not too far distance, Miles Schroeder spotted Ethan and started walking towards them.

“Yo, isn’t this Ethan Smith?” Miles took a few steps and stood in front of Ethan.

Seeing this young man, Ethan frowned.

Wasn’t this the guy who was just talking behind his back? Why did he take the initiative to talk to him?

Normally, shouldn’t he avoid him?

“Younger Lord of Schroeder Family.” Ashton Nicholson greeted with a forced smile.

Miles gave Ashton a glance and sneered, “Ashton, aren’t you friends with Benjamin Hill? How did you end up with Ethan Smith so suddenly?”

Ashton laughed awkwardly, unsure of what to do.

“Miles, if you have something to say, save it for later. Ethan and I have some matters to deal with.” William said in a deep voice.

Miles chuckled, “Chief Richardson, are you trying to protect Ethan? Didn’t everyone say that Ethan fears nothing? Why is he acting so modest now?”

“Modest?” Ethan shook his head and then said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been modest.”

“Hahaha!” Miles couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He pointed at Elder Hansen beside him and said, “This old man swallowed your herbs, why did you still keep him by your side?”

“Swallowed my herbs?” Ethan looked at Elder Hansen with confusion.

Elder Hansen’s face turned red, and he couldn’t say a word.

Miles sneered, “Seems you didn’t know. I used a Hundred-year Ginseng to exchange for your Curing Pill, but this old man swallowed the Ginseng himself and sold it!”

“Shouldn’t you teach such a treacherous person a lesson?” Miles raised his eyebrows and said.

Elder Hansen’s face turned even redder, and he angrily exclaimed, “You’re talking nonsense! It was obviously…”

“Elder Hansen!” At that moment, Ashton suddenly interrupted Elder Hansen’s words.

Then, Ashton quickly stepped between the two and laughed, “Younger Lord of

Schroeder Family, stop joking around.”

However, Ethan had already sensed that something was wrong. He frowned and looked at Ashton, asking, ‘What’s going on?”

Ashton reluctantly said, “Ethan, I’ll explain to you when we get back.”

“What’s going on with that Hundred-year Ginseng!” Ethan couldn’t help but feel angry.

This feeling of being kept in the dark was very uncomfortable. It reminded him of the three years he was deceived by Sylvia Johnson.

Ashton didn’t know how to explain and looked extremely uneasy.

“Young Lord is right. I took your ginseng and sold it.” At this moment, Elder Hansen suddenly said with a stiff face.

“Mr. Smith, just punish me.” Elder Hansen sighed.

“Hahaha!” Seeing this scene, Miles laughed even more heartily.

“Ethan, what are you keeping this kind of person for? If it were me, I’d send him to his death sooner!” Miles snorted.

Ethan looked at Elder Hansen, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

A terrifying murderous spirit lingered around him.

“Hurry up and deal with him, what are you hesitating for? Do you need my help?” Miles urged from the side.

“Shut up, you nuisance! Do you think I’m a fool?”

At that moment, Ethan suddenly turned around and slapped Miles in the face!
