Conrad Schroeder forcefully suppressed the emotional turmoil in his heart and walked up to Ethan Smith.
“Mr. Smith.” Conrad’s smile was sowhat unnatural.
Ethan looked at Conrad and laughed, “What’s wrong? Your face looks terrible. What happened?”
Conrad was stunned, and quickly shook his head, “No…nothing, I just haven’t been resting well lately.”
Ethan laughed and said, “I’ll give you a pill another day, it’ll guarantee you a better sleep than a pig.”
The more Ethan said that, the more unnatural Conrad’s expression beca.
“Mr. Smith, let’s…hurry inside.” Conrad said, pulling Ethan’s arm.
After they entered the living room, the dining table was already filled with exotic delicacies.
“So much food? Great! I haven’t had a good al for days.” Ethan excitedly sat down and started eating voraciously with chopsticks.
Conrad sat there without saying a word.
He looked at Ethan from ti to ti and then outside the door.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Ethan asked while stuffing food into his mouth.
“I…l’m not hungry.” Conrad forced a smile.
Ethan didn’t say more.
After a while, Ethan patted his stomach contentedly.
He wiped his mouth and said with a mix of smile and seriousness, “Conrad, sotis a single decision can change one’s life.”
Hearing this, Conrad’s face suddenly changed drastically!
He almost couldn’t help but reveal Adrien Bauer’s plan!
But thinking of his son Miles Schroeder, Conrad ultimately held back.
“Mr…Mr. Smith, I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about…” Conrad said with an awkward smile.
Ethan stretched lazily and said, “If you don’t understand, don’t worry about it. Pretend I never said anything.”
“By the way, you wanted to talk to about sothing, right? Go ahead.” Ethan looked at Conrad, smiling.
Conrad was at a loss as to what to do.
His mission was to deceive Ethan into coming here! But as to what to do specifically, Adrien never ntioned!
“1…”
“Ethan, it’s who asked for you.” Right when Conrad was at a loss, Adrien entered from outside.
Ethan looked at Adrien, sowhat surprised, “Aidan Ortega? What are you doing here?”
Adrien laughed, “Ethan, I’ve just recently beco a disciple of Conrad.” “A disciple of Conrad?” Ethan raised an eyebrow.
“Aren’t you a mber of the Lane Family?” Ethan asked, surprised.
Adrien feigned anger, “That Lane Family isn’t worth it. Staying with them, I’d have no prospects in this lifeti! People naturally go to higher places, and water flows to lower ones, right?”
Hearing this, Ethan rubbed his chin and remained silent for a long ti.
“Ethan, I didn’t expect that in such a short ti, you’ve grown so much that even Conrad lost to you.”
Adrien sat down next to Ethan, speaking with so enthusiasm.
Ethan laughed, “You’re not doing too badly either, breaking through to
Grandmaster. That’s worth celebrating, too.”
Adrien laughed heartily, “It’s not worth ntioning compared to your achievents!”
After that, Adrien poured Ethan a glass of wine and said, “Here’s to celebrating you becoming the Chuzzle Network, cheers!”
Ethan didn’t refuse. He picked up the glass, clinked it with Adrien’s, and drained it in one gulp.
Ethan, who had already eaten, also drank a few rounds of wine with Adrien.
During this ti, Conrad sat aside without saying a word or moving his chopsticks.
“Ethan, I’m a little thirsty. Could you get so water?” At that mont, Adrien suddenly asked with a smile.
“No problem.” Ethan didn’t even think about it, turning around and walking towards the water jug.
However, just as Ethan’s back faced Adrien, a rciless glint flashed in Adrien’s eyes!
With a shimr of light on his finger, he reached out towards Ethan’s vital point with a “whoosh”!
Under the protection of Inner Strength, Adrien’s fingers were sharper than a dagger and extrely fast!
Even steel would be instantly pierced!
So Adrien had full confidence that he could eliminate Ethan with one blow! “Hm? Why is my shoelace untied?” But just then, Ethan suddenly squatted down.
Adrien’s finger brushed past Ethan’s body!
“Damn it!” Adrien cursed silently!
This Ethan, really lucky!
With cold eyes, he watched Ethan squatting on the ground, and reached out with his finger a second ti!
“This one’s untied too, really annoying.” However, Ethan slightly shifted his body, once again avoiding the deadly blow.
This made Adrien’s face extrely ugly, nearly losing his temper!
“I don’t believe your luck can always be this good!” Furious, Adrien reached out with both hands!
“Ah, Conrad, as the host, you should pour the water.” Ethan turned around again at just the right mont, once more avoiding Adrien’s attack!
“How is this possible!” Adrien was almost driven mad!
A sudden bad feeling appeared in his heart!
One’s luck can be good once, twice, but never every single ti, avoiding blows perfectly!
Just as Adrien was shocked, Ethan turned around suddenly.
He sighed softly, “I’ve given you three chances to kill , but you just didn’t cherish them, did you?”
