Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Shocking Everyone!
Emerson Holmes seemed to have made a huge decision, his eyes filled with fear.
Ethan Smith didn’t die, which was like a thunderbolt out of the blue for Emerson Holmes!
That means his daughter could be in danger!
“President Barnett, that Ethan Smith didn’t die at all. The black-robed man is Ethan Smith!” Emerson Holmes said with a frightened face.
But Davy Barnett couldn’t help but sneer, “Emerson Holmes, are you crazy? That black-robed man is Ethan Smith? Is there something wrong with your brain?”
“Ethan Smith has potential, but what qualifies him to kill nine super-strong cultivators of the Capital City Martial Arts Association? And with just one stroke?”
“How could he have the ability to fight against eight black and gold robe wearers?”
“No young person in the world can do it! Not even Dominic Taylor!”
Davy Barnett’s words were powerful and resonating.
Emerson Holmes desperately said, “President Barnett! Even though I don’t want to believe it, it’s true! The black-robed man is Ethan Smith!”
Just as they were talking, someone entered from outside the door.
It was none other than Dominic Taylor.
“What happened to you all?” Dominic Taylor looked at the bloody black and gold robes and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“Greetings, Young Master Taylor.” Several people greeted him in chorus.
Davy Barnett laughed and said, “Young Master Taylor, your timing is just right. We deployed eight black and gold robes, but we are still unable to capture the black-robed man, letting him escape, even wounding several of us.”
Hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed across Dominic Taylor’s face.
“That black-robed man… actually has such strength?” Dominic Taylor exclaimed in surprise.
It should be known that even the current Dominic Taylor might not be able to escape from the hands of eight black and gold robes!
Davy Barnett nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, the strength of that black-robed man is even stronger than we imagined. Young Master Taylor, you must be careful.”
Dominic Taylor smiled and said, “I know, President Barnett.”
“Oh, right, Emerson Holmes just said that the black-robed man is Ethan Smith.” Davy Barnett said with a smile.
Hearing these words, Dominic Taylor couldn’t help but laugh, “Vice President Holmes, don’t joke around. Ethan Smith? Does he have that kind of ability? Besides, he’s already dead.”
“It’s true!” Emerson Holmes said anxiously, trying to defend himself.
“Ethan Smith really is that black-robed man!”
Hearing this, Dominic Taylor couldn’t help but sneer, “Emerson Holmes, let’s not even mention that Ethan Smith is already dead. Even if he wasn’t, do you think he has that kind of skill?”
“Even I may not be able to do it now!”
Obviously, no one believed that Ethan Smith was the black-robed man.
After all, no one wanted to believe that Ethan Smith had achieved so much at their age.
Emerson Holmes knew that his defense was weak and didn’t know what else to say for a while.
His heart was in turmoil, mostly worried about his daughter dying at the hands of Ethan Smith!
“May the heavens bless me, I hope Ethan Smith isn’t aware that this matter had anything to do with me…” Emerson Holmes could only silently pray in his heart.
…
At this moment, Ethan Smith had already fled back to the civilian house.
His body had multiple wounds, his breath weak, and he was quite injured.
As for the black robe, it was already tattered and looked like a rag.
“I almost died at their hands…” Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face looking a bit ugly.
Ethan Smith was also worried in his heart at this moment.
He was worried about exposing his identity, in which case the Capital City Martial Arts Association would definitely send forces to kill him!
“Emerson Holmes… How dare you harm me!” Ethan Smith took a deep breath, and a flash of coldness appeared on his face!
He sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly recovering from his wounds.
At this time, the outside world had already exploded with excitement!
“The Capital City Martial Arts Association dispatched eight black and gold robes, but they still couldn’t get rid of the black-robed man!”
“It’s rumored that the Capital City Martial Arts Association comprehensively analyzed and prepared for the black-robed man, but they still ended up empty-handed!”
“Not only that, but three members of the Capital City Martial Arts Association with black and gold robes have suffered serious injuries!”
“Tsk tsk, it’s been so many years since anyone has managed to challenge the black and gold robes. I really don’t know where this black-robed man came from.”
For a time, rumors spread, and the Capital City Martial Arts Association not only failed to establish its authority but also lost face even further.
…
In a teahouse in Capital City, several elegantly dressed young men gathered together.
“You’ve all heard about it, right?” Ricardo Bowman took a sip of tea and asked casually.
“Eight black and gold robes… what a tremendous force, yet still could not kill the black-robed man.”
“I really don’t know where this black-robed man comes from, it’s terrifying.”
Even the always arrogant Blaise Rhodes nodded slightly and said, “Yeah, eight black and gold robes, enough to obliterate an entire Family. This black-robed man must be a hidden Old Undying.”
As they were talking, Dominic Taylor walked over from not far away.
Seeing Dominic Taylor, the crowd greeted him one after another.
“Young Master Taylor, you must have heard about it too,” Ricardo Bowman asked with a smile.
Dominic Taylor nodded slightly and said, “I went to the Capital City Martial Arts Association today. You wouldn’t believe what Emerson Holmes told me.”
“What? He wants to personally capture the black-robed man?” Ricardo Bowman joked.
Dominic Taylor shook his head and sneered, “Emerson Holmes said that the black-robed man is Ethan Smith.”
“Ethan Smith?” As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads.
“If Ethan Smith were that black-robed man, then he would be the number one among the younger generation in Capital City.”
“No young man can escape from eight black and gold robes.”
Even Daphne Green found it a bit impossible.
Those were eight black and gold robes! Their strength was unimaginable!
Even capturing international criminals didn’t require eight black and gold robes to be deployed!
“I find it ridiculous, too,” Dominic Taylor sneered.
“But having said that, the black-robed man might really have a close connection with Ethan Smith.” At this point, Dominic Taylor changed the subject.
“Oh? Why do you say that?” The crowd asked in unison.
Dominic Taylor snorted, “The technique used by this black-robed man is quite similar to that of Ethan Smith, and they both possess incredibly strong physical prowess!”
“According to our guess, this person must have something to do with Ethan Smith. Most likely, he came to avenge Ethan.”
The crowd suddenly understood, “No wonder such strength! It turns out to be Ethan Smith’s Master!”
“Being able to teach a disciple like Ethan Smith, it’s natural that he’s not an ordinary person.”
Even if Ethan Smith revealed his technique, no one suspected his involvement.
…
At night.
Emerson Holmes returned home anxiously.
The moment he opened the door, he smelled a pungent odor of blood!
Looking around, he found Ethan Smith sitting on the sofa!
Emerson Holmes’ face changed dramatically! He rushed in and yelled angrily, “Ethan Smith, what have you done to my daughter!”
Ethan Smith gave Emerson Holmes a cold look, raised his hand, and slapped him across the face!
Emerson Holmes got up from the ground and growled angrily, “You dare to touch my daughter! I’ll kill you!”
His breath erupted as he strode toward Ethan Smith!
“Dad, you’re back!”
Just then, the voice of a little girl came from inside the room.
Seeing the little girl, Emerson Holmes hesitated for a moment.
He hastily ran to the little girl’s side, touching her face, looking left and right, and asked with a terrified expression, “Daughter, you… are you alright?”
