Chapter 521: Chapter 521: The Wedding Approaches

The meeting room fell silent once again.

Everyone was quiet, seemingly deep in thought about the matter at hand.

Emerson Holmes anxiously said, “Anyway, we have to get rid of Ethan Smith as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless trouble in the future!”

“Emerson, you go back first.” However, the others eventually did not follow Emerson’s opinion.

“We’ll discuss and make a decision on this matter.”

Emerson gritted his teeth and anxiously said, “If Ethan Smith really grows stronger, then…”

“We told you to leave, can’t you understand?”

A voice came from the shadows again.

Emerson opened his mouth but ultimately had nothing to say.

Although he was the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association, Emerson knew in his heart that his primary responsibility was to face those aristocratic families.

In simpler terms, he was just a bridge for communication between the Martial Arts Association and the various great families.

If these high-ranking people didn’t want to, they could make him disappear at any time.

Emerson had no choice but to leave the meeting room.

After leaving the meeting room, Emerson thought it over and eventually decided to go see Dexter Blair and Kylan Taylor to discuss this matter.

“Since the Martial Arts Association is not taking any action, I can only incite these two families to eliminate Ethan Smith!” Emerson coldly said.

In the club.

Emerson, Dexter, and Kylan sat together.

“I suggest we get rid of Ethan Smith as soon as possible.” Emerson looked at Reilly Blair.

All along, Reilly had been supportive of dealing with Ethan Smith in advance, so Emerson could only place his hopes on Reilly.

However, Reilly’s attitude changed completely.

He laughed heartily and said, “Old Emerson, I used to agree with your opinion, but after my son’s breakthrough, I changed my mind.”

“With my son’s current ability, taking care of Ethan Smith is not a problem at all!”

Emerson’s face changed, and he quickly said, “The longer we wait, the more chances there will be for change. We still have almost twenty days, and no one can guarantee what will happen during this time!”

Reilly sneered, “How come, as his master, you don’t have faith in Dexter? Do you think my son is worse than Ethan Smith?”

Emerson frowned, “Of course, that’s not what I mean.”

“That settles it then. From what I understand, my son’s ability is now above yours, isn’t it?” Reilly snorted.

Emerson opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

“Alright, I’ll set up a tight dragnet at that time.” Kylan took a puff of his cigar.

“As long as Ethan Smith shows up, whether he wins or loses, I won’t let him leave Capital City!”

Hearing this, Emerson could only nod in agreement.

“I just hope Ethan Smith won’t run away in advance.” Emerson thought to himself.

On the Dragon Vein.

The man with the mustache wandered around for nearly two hours.

“This is the place.” The man with the mustache stomped on the ground and began working.

In contrast, the Bright Energy Grave was much simpler than the Dark Energy Grave.

Not only that, the treasures inside the Bright Energy Grave couldn’t be compared to those inside the Dark Energy Grave.

Upon opening the Bright Energy Grave, a surge of pure yang energy rushed out.

One magical artifact after another was laid inside the Bright Energy Grave.

“We’re rich, we’re rich!” The man with the mustache said excitedly.

Ethan’s eyes lit up. There were actually Divine Rank Artifacts inside, and even several Earth Rank ones!

“Hey, I really don’t want to share these treasures with you.” The man with the mustache said with a pained expression.

Ethan ignored him, walked into the Bright Energy Grave, and carefully examined everything inside.

One of the Artifact Refining Cauldrons caught Ethan’s attention.

This Artifact Refining Cauldron was completely green in color. Despite being covered in dust, its emerald hue was still impossible to conceal.

“I want this Artifact Refining Cauldron.” Ethan Smith pointed at it and said.

Man with the mustache muttered, “That won’t do! This Artifact Refining Cauldron is also useful to me.”

Ethan hesitated and said, “How about this, besides this cauldron, I won’t take anything else, deal?”

The mustached man was startled and rapidly asked, “Are you serious?”

“Mhm.” Ethan nodded.

“But I have one condition.”

The mustached man grinned and said, “My friend, don’t just say one condition, I’ll agree to ten conditions!”

Ethan looked at him and said, “I need you to take me to three large graves!”

“Large graves?” The mustached man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He touched his chin and said, “Those large graves aren’t easy to find…”

“It’s okay if you’ve dug them up before, I just need the dark energy.” Ethan said.

The mustached man blinked, and then patted his chest, saying, “No problem!”

“Alright, it’s settled then.” Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Ethan’s self-assessment, three large graves might be enough to support him reaching the half-step Martial Marquis Realm!

Half-step Martial Marquis wasn’t actually a defined realm, but rather a transitional realm, only a hair’s breadth away from the Martial Marquis Realm.

And it was precisely this hair’s breadth that countless people got stuck in for a lifetime.

Although Ethan was already powerful enough now, he didn’t know much about Dexter Blair.

There couldn’t be any accidents in the marriage snatching this time! So, reaching the Martial Marquis Realm would be more reliable!

“When do we leave?” Ethan asked.

As the mustached man put away the artifact, he muttered, “It’s not that fast, I’ve forgotten many places, you better wait for me to notify you.”

With that, the mustached man picked up another magical artifact and grinned, “Spatial Magic Artifact, this thing is pretty good…”

Afterward, he tried to activate the artifact.

“Buzz!”

A flash of light passed, and the mustached man vanished without a trace.

“Damn it, where did he go?” Ethan was suddenly anxious.

The two hadn’t even exchanged contact information, and he just left?

“Crap, was I tricked?” Ethan frowned, looking somewhat flustered.

Ethan waited on the Dragon Vein for the mustached man for a full day, but he still didn’t come back.

“Damn that bastard.” Ethan said angrily.

The treasures had been taken by him, and now he had run away!

With no other choice, Ethan had to temporarily leave the place.

Ethan returned to Chuzzle all the way.

At this time, Evelyn Norton was still lying unconscious in bed.

“Mr. Smith, if this girl keeps lying here like this, will she die?” Edward Green muttered in a low voice while touching his chin.

Ethan remained silent, a hint of worry in his heart.

Finding Dudley Lynch, who had already escaped, was not an easy task.

“I wonder if the mustached man has a solution.” Ethan thought to himself.

Although the mustached man seemed crazy, Ethan always felt that he wasn’t a simple person.

Now it was already the end of August, and there were only sixteen days left until September 9th!

The news of Dexter Blair and Emily Taylor’s wedding was widely publicized!

Nearly the entire Capital City was discussing the matter.

Some people even claimed that this wedding would be the wedding of the century!

The union of two major families had attracted countless people’s attention!
