Chapter 218 - 218: 218: The Mysterious Stone Statue!
Francis Lee’s face turned ugly, so he quickly walked over to Neveah Rhodes and said, “Director Rhodes, I’ll kick him out right now!”
Neveah Rhodes looked at Francis Lee with a befuddled expression.
She frowned, “Kick him out?”
“Yes, just give me a moment, I’ll handle it,” Francis Lee said with an awkward smile.
Neveah Rhodes was a bit confused. She frowned, “Mr. Smith is our boss. Why are you trying to kick him out?”
Upon hearing this, Francis Lee’s face changed slightly.
He awkwardly smiled, “Director Rhodes, aren’t you joking? Our boss is Conrad
Schroeder…”
“Yeah, Mr. Smith is Conrad Schroeder’s boss, so he’s definitely our boss too,” Neveah Rhodes frowned.
Francis Lee’s face changed instantly!
He suddenly remembered the recently rising “King of Chuzzle”!
Could that person be Ethan Smith?
“You didn’t offend Mr. Smith, did you?” At this moment, Neveah Rhodes suddenly realized something.
“He didn’t offend me, he just told me to get lost,” Ethan Smith sneered.
Neveah Rhodes’ face changed immediately. She stood up and scolded, “Francis Lee! Who gave you the courage to tell the boss to get lost! I’m hereby officially notifying you that you’re fired!”
Francis Lee was completely panicked. He looked at Ethan Smith for help, “Ethan, we…we’re friends, remember how you used to use my pencil when we were kids…”
“You only remember being friends now?” Edward Green scoffed.
“Didn’t someone just say that Mr. Smith and you weren’t on the same level?”
Francis Lee was extremely anxious. He grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm and begged desperately, “Ethan, I truly realized my mistake, please…forgive me…” But Ethan Smith just slapped away Francis Lee’s hand.
He coldly stared at Francis Lee and said, “Whether you recognize me or not, it doesn’t matter to me. But I really don’t like the way you handle situations.” “You heard him, get out of here now!” Neveah Rhodes was a smart woman. She waved her hand and drove Francis Lee away.
Francis Lee was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he should have tried to get along with Ethan Smith earlier! With their past relationship, he might have even been promoted!
Unfortunately, it’s all useless now.
After driving Francis Lee away, Ethan Smith looked at Neveah Rhodes.
“Miss Rhodes, I won’t bother you any further. I hope you can get the barrier completed soon,” Ethan Smith said.
Neveah Rhodes quickly nodded and responded, “Mr. Smith, don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to do it right away!”
After leaving the office, Neveah Rhodes had already prepared accommodations for Ethan Smith.
The surroundings were relatively quiet with several vacant houses.
After some modifications, these houses would be a good choice for their stay.
Ethan Smith and Edward Green temporarily stayed in one of these houses.
Without wasting any time, Ethan quickly took out the prepared herbs and started refining pills for Ashton Nicholson.
South City, a training ground.
A burly man, towering like an iron pillar, was training with all his might.
His training method was extremely brutal, and his muscles had grown to a shocking extent.
Most surprisingly, his body seemed to be wrapped in a faint light.
This man was none other than Aidan Ortega.
Ever since being defeated by Ethan Smith, he had been training like a madman.
Not only did he successfully enter the Grandmaster realm, but his horizontal training level had also greatly improved.
From a hidden spot, a figure was staring intently at Aidan Ortega.
“What a rare and precious body…” A hint of greed flashed in the figure’s eyes!
“If I could possess this body combined with my strength, no one in Chuzzle could stop me!”
The next second, the figure “whooshed” and rushed towards Aidan Ortega!
He turned into a black mist, directly attaching himself to Aidan Ortega’s body!
Aidan’s mouth suddenly erupted in a series of painful screams!
In less than half a minute, Aidan collapsed with a loud thud.
A few seconds later, the fallen Aidan stood up again.
But this time, his expression became somewhat sinister, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was extremely eerie.
This was none other than the southwest Magus who originally possessed Alvin Ward in Shiglance City!
This wizard was named Adrien Bauer, who had once been a big shot in the southwest!
It’s a pity that his physical body was eventually destroyed, leading him to fall into such a predicament!
Since Alvin Ward was killed by Ethan Smith, Adrien had fled to South City!
Now he had even taken over Aidan Ortega’s body!
“With this body, I can steal back the stone statue!” A vicious glint flashed in his eyes!
“Aidan, how did the training go today?”
At this moment, a young man walked over from a short distance away.
Adrien glanced at the young man and murmured softly, “Peak form of Master
Realm? Though a mosquito is small, it’s still meat…”
Having said that, Adrien raised his hand, and with a “Pa” sound, he slapped the young man’s head!
“Ah….” The young man’s mouth immediately let out a series of painful screams.
In less than a minute, his Inner Strength was completely absorbed.
His physical body had almost withered away.
After Adrien absorbed the internal strength, rays of light started to attach to his body.
The body instantly became tougher!
“Comfortable, comfortable.” Adrien licked his lips contentedly.
He looked at this body with satisfaction, feeling a bit excited inside.
For wizards, their weakest aspect is their physical bodies.
And Aidan Ortega just happened to make up for this disadvantage!
“Ethan Smith, it’s time for you to return the humiliation from last time!” Adrien said sinisterly.
At this time, Ethan Smith had completed the refining of the Pill.
He put the Pill in a box and then placed it aside.
“I’ll find a time to deliver it to Ashton Nicholson.” Ethan thought in his heart.
After the Pill was refined, Ethan took out the stone statue.
The dark energy in this statue was extremely concentrated, so much so that even Ethan could feel the bone-chilling coldness.
This stone statue was definitely more mysterious than he had imagined!
“Since I can’t find the herbs, I might as well use the dark energy from the stone statue to cultivate for the time being.” Ethan thought to himself.
He placed his hand on the stone statue, and in an instant, the dark energy of the statue surged towards Ethan like a fountain!
“Such strong dark energy!” Ethan couldn’t help but widen his eyes!
He absorbed it for more than an hour, and the dark energy from the stone statue still hadn’t diminished in the slightest!
“How much dark energy is there inside this statue?” Ethan was ecstatic in his heart!
In this way, wouldn’t he be able to endlessly absorb dark energy to increase his strength?
“This is great.” Ethan’s face was filled with excitement!
This stone statue was indeed extraordinary! No wonder Adrien Bauer was desperate to get it!
As Ethan was feeling excited, a strange light suddenly burst from the stone statue.
The moment the light appeared, the Golden Light in Ethan’s mind began to surge.
“Huh? What’s going on?” Ethan’s face changed slightly; he felt as if the divine sense in his mind was about to be absorbed by the stone statue!
Seeing this, Ethan tried to quickly move his hand away, but he found that it seemed to be stuck to the stone statue!
