Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 729: Chapter 729: The Lord of Downton City_1

Ethan Smith put away his phone and didn’t continue to watch.

As to who would win between Broderick and Jackson Harris, Ethan Smith was not sure, but deep down, he leaned more towards Jackson Harris.

As more and more secrets surfaced, Ethan Smith slowly realized that Jackson Harris was by no means the number one person in Pyro, nor was Ignacio Burke.

They were just the strongest people on the surface, but how many masters were hidden in the shadows remained unknown.

Just like the Ice Palace last time, they casually sent out a Marquis, even reaching the Peak Form of Military Marquis Realm!

Heaven knows how many more masters they still hide!

About ten minutes later, they all boarded the plane to Downton City.

Downton City was near the border, so it took them seven hours to arrive.

It was already evening when they arrived.

Although it was winter now, when they got off the plane, they still felt waves of heat.

Short skirts and short sleeves were everywhere on the streets, with no hint of winter.

“The environment in Downton City is really nice.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath, feeling the oncoming sea breeze.

Admittedly, Downton City was indeed a vacation paradise.

“Clare, do you want to go to the beach and have some fun?” Ethan asked the youngest of the group, Clare Richardson.

Clare shook her head, “Not interested.”

Seeing this, Ethan couldn’t help but smirk.

The current Clare and the one from before really seemed like two different people.

“Hey, it seems like there’s a banquet going on over there. Let’s go and have some fun,” the man with the mustache said enthusiastically.

Following the direction of his finger, indeed, not far away on the beach, there was singing, dancing, and music.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It seems like someone is hosting a banquet,” Ethan Smith said.

The man with the mustache muttered, “Don’t you know? Downton City is known as the paradise for the rich. Many Second-generation rich kids come here to show off their wealth.”

“Car races, horse races, and big parties are quite common here.”

“Many celebrities are often invited to attend.”

Ethan Smith wasn’t particularly interested in this.

He took out the map given to him by Halcroen Sect and carefully compared it with their location.

The location of the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials didn’t seem to be far from here.

And according to what Rex Osborne said, there was exactly one week left before the herbs appeared.

“Let’s go and take a look,” Ethan Smith said.

The man with the mustache quickly nodded, “Alright, I’ll follow you over and have some food. Damn, following you, I get hungry all the time.”

So, the three of them headed to the banquet.

The banquet was open to the public, and almost everyone could participate.

The banquet was full of delicious food and wine, many young men and women were wildly dancing, venting their youth.

Clare didn’t seem to be too interested in this. She grabbed Ethan Smith and found a place to sit down.

The man with the mustache, on the other hand, quickly blended in and even began dancing with young girls.

“Didn’t you used to love car races?” Ethan Smith looked at Clare and asked with a smile.

Clare said, “That was before, now I think it’s quite childish.”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but shrug.

Indeed, if Clare had really awakened her memory, car racing would indeed seem quite childish to her.

“I really doubt that the masked woman and Clare are the same person.” Ethan Smith felt something was amiss.

If Clare was the masked woman’s reincarnation, then her personality should not change, at least not to such a great extent.

“It’s really strange.” Ethan Smith shook his head.

Then, Ethan Smith looked around.

He released his divine sense, covering more than half of the banquet.

Soon, Ethan Smith discovered something was off.

At the banquet, everyone seemed to be happy, as if they were immersed in the worldly life.

However, Ethan Smith found that in this banquet, there were many martial artists hidden!

Among them were eighteen Grandmasters, more than twenty Military Marquises, and even three people whose strengths Ethan Smith could not see through!This was enough to indicate that the strength of those three surpassed that of Ethan Smith!

Ethan retracted his divine sense, but found several divine senses sweeping over himself.

Narrowing his eyes, Ethan immediately glanced in a certain direction.

There, he saw a young man at a nearby table, looking coldly at Ethan.

Their gazes met for a moment before both quickly looked away.

“Something’s not right.” Ethan frowned.

How could there be so many top-tier experts at this small banquet?

More than twenty peak-form Military Marquis, such a force was simply astonishing!

“It seems someone had their eyes on that ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material a long time ago.” Ethan thought to himself.

Not far away, a young man was silently watching Ethan.

“Who is that person?” The young man asked the person beside him.

The other young man lowered his head and replied, “Mr. Tenny, that person is Ethan Smith.”

“Ethan Smith?” The person known as Mr. Tenny raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Is that the same Ethan Smith who caused a ruckus in Capital City?”

“Yes, Mr. Tenny.” The young man beside him bowed and replied.

Mr. Tenny swirled the wine glass in his hand and sneered, “Interesting, go invite him over. Tell him I want to share a drink with him.”

“Yes, Mr. Tenny.”

The attendant of Mr. Tenny hurriedly walked towards Ethan’s direction.

“Mr. Smith, our Mr. Tenny invites you to join him,” the attendant politely said.

Ethan glanced at him and asked, “Who is your Mr. Tenny?”

Hearing this, the attendant couldn’t help but proudly say, “Our Mr. Tenny is the son of the lord of Downton City, Guy Noble.”

“Guy Noble?” Ethan frowned.

He had never heard of this name before.

Ethan took a quick look at the attendant in front of him, and he was astonished to find that this attendant was also a peak-form Military Marquis.

As for that Mr. Tenny, he was already in the mid-term Military Marquis realm!

“I didn’t expect that in this small Downton City, there would be such hidden experts.” Ethan said in a deep voice.

After some thought, Ethan finally agreed.

After all, the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material was to appear here, and getting acquainted with Guy Noble wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Ethan, with Clare Richardson, walked towards Guy’s direction.

“Mr. Tenny, Mr. Smith has arrived,” the attendant announced.

Guy waved his hand, signaling the attendant to leave.

Then, Guy looked at Ethan, raised his eyebrows, and asked: “Are you Ethan Smith?”

“Indeed,” Ethan replied confidently, neither arrogant nor humble.

Guy handed Ethan a bottle of beer, and then he said indifferently, “I heard you were quite strong in Capital City, and you didn’t even care about the major aristocratic families?”

Ethan politely replied, “That’s just a reputation. Even a rabbit will bite when it’s cornered.”

Guy snorted lightly. He chuckled and said, “Ethan, I don’t care how great you are in Capital City, but here in Downton City, I have the final say. Understand?”

Having said that, Guy pointed around him and added: “Do you see this? I hosted this banquet! All the martial artists around are mine!”

Hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but feel slightly astonished.

Those twenty-plus peak-form Martial Marquis were all members of the Noble Family?

“Last year, a second-generation rich from Capital City tried to show off to me. I broke both his legs and threw him into the sea,” Guy casually mentioned.

“It was only after his father came with a generous gift and apologized that I reluctantly let it go,” Guy continued.

Seeing Guy’s arrogant expression, Ethan couldn’t help but frown.

This Guy Noble seemed to enjoy showing off quite a bit.

However… the fact that the Noble Family was able to foster so many peak-form Martial Marquis must mean they had some real skills!

“Could it be that there is some secret to Downton City?” Ethan wondered to himself.

With this thought in mind, he decided to try and coax some information out of Guy.

After all, Guy didn’t seem too intelligent.
