Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 878: Chapter 878: Provoking Marc Fraley

Ethan Smith became increasingly suspicious of Spike Schneider in front of him.

But even so, Ethan Smith still didn’t dare cause a scene.

“Can you speed it up? A week is too long,” Ethan Smith tentatively said.

Spike Schneider seemed impatient and replied, “If you think it’s too long, you can find someone else. Anyway, I need a week.”

Seeing his attitude, Ethan Smith felt like slapping him across the face.

“Fine, a week then,” Ethan said, taking a deep breath and swallowing his anger.

...

He needed Spike Schneider’s help, so had to endure indignities.

Spike Schneider stopped wasting words. He put his hand in front of the Mystic Realm and began searching for the mystic keys.

Also, Ethan Smith didn’t dare leave. He had ordered that no one was allowed near the Spiritual Spring for the next few days.

The time passed quickly, and three days had gone by, yet Spike Schneider had not found the mystic keys.

This naturally caused some concern for Ethan Smith.

“Are you sure you can find the mystic keys?” Ethan Smith asked.

Spike Schneider glanced at Ethan Smith and said with a hint of excitement, “What’s hidden here may not be an ordinary Mystic Realm, but a huge one! You’ve hit the jackpot!”

Ethan Smith’s eyes lit up, “Is this true?”

“Absolutely! If it was an ordinary Mystic Realm, I could have opened it within an hour!” Spike Schneider vowed confidently.

“Based on my conjecture, this is definitely a rare and sturdy Mystic Realm!”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel excited. He folded his hands slightly and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. After the Mystic Realm is opened, I am willing to share a part of the treasure with you and Mr. Jagger.”

“Deal!” Spike Schneider seemed to gain more energy.

Ethan Smith stayed aside guardingly. With nothing to do, he pulled out his phone and opened the Martial Arts Forum.

As soon as he opened the Martial Arts Forum, a crucial piece of news caught his attention.

The user named “prophet,” who had posted previously, posted another message about the Martial Saint:

Within a week, the first Martial Saint will emerge.

There were numerous replies below, discussing who would be the first to enter the Martial Saint Realm.

Some said it would be Ethan Smith, others speculated it would be Dominic Taylor, and of course, some believed it would be the elders like Jackson Harris.

“If someone enters the Martial Saint Realm, the balance of martial arts will change drastically.”

“Exactly, I’m afraid many hidden figures will emerge.”

“Tsk tsk, the peace that has lasted for a hundred years will probably be broken.”

Looking at the content on his phone, Ethan Smith couldn’t help furrowing his brows.

There was no chance of Ethan Smith becoming a Martial Saint in a week!

That meant Ethan Smith only had one more week. After a week, Ethan Smith had to retreat into the Mystic Realm to avoid being killed!

This sudden realization alerted Ethan Smith and triggered a strong sense of crisis.

“One week…” Ethan Smith murmured.

“Maybe something can still change!”

With that thought in mind, Ethan Smith looked at Spike Schneider and bowed, “I need to go to Capital City. You take care of things here.”

Spike Schneider waved his hand, “Alright, don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Ethan Smith nodded. He went straight to Polly Reeves’s room.

“Keep an eye on Spike Schneider. If he does anything unusual, tell me immediately,” Ethan Smith instructed.

After leaving the instruction, Ethan Smith set off for Capital City that very day.

He aimed to find a way to utilize the Spirit binding technique before the emergence of the Martial Saint!

And that method would have to be derived from Marc Fraley.

At this time, it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the day of the start of the new term at the Martial Arts Academy.

Marc Fraley was personally presiding over the opening ceremony. After the recent expansion, the Capital City Martial Arts Academy had over a hundred students!

These students were all chosen from the highly talented of various clans, and each possessed extraordinary aptitudes.

Marc Fraley stood at the front, looking at the people below. A sense of superiority unconsciously emerged on his face.

“As long as the Martial Arts Academy exists, we can continuously provide an influx of talent,” Marc Fraley said with a faint smile.

Channing, who was next to him, gave Marc Fraley a thumbs up, “Young master, your plan is absolutely brilliant!”

Marc Fraley smirked, “If it were before, we wouldn’t even look at these people, but now the situation has changed.”

Once someone becomes a Martial Saint, it signifies the beginning of the Martial Saint era.

The foundation of the Capital City Martial Arts Association will no longer exist; therefore, they must firmly grasp the talents in their own hands.

“Hmmm?”

At this moment, Marc Fraley suddenly furrowed his brows and murmured, “There’s a murderous spirit.”

“I feel it too.” Channing quickly stood up and scanned his surroundings.

Soon, a figure descended from the sky and landed right in front of Marc Fraley!

The person who arrived was none other than Ethan Smith!

At this moment, he was full of fighting spirit, his aura was blazing, and no one dared to ignore him.

“Ethan Smith?” Seeing who it was, Marc Fraley sneered.

“You dare to show up?”

Ethan Smith squinted and said, “Why wouldn’t I dare? I heard you’ve been looking for me?”

Marc Fraley scoffed, “Looking for you? Ethan Smith, you think too highly of yourself! Come back and talk to me when you become a Martial Saint!”

However, Ethan Smith said nothing and threw a punch directly at Marc Fraley’s face!

Marc Fraley’s face changed, he quickly retreated, and the entire stage was shattered in an instant!

This sudden change immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone briskly retreated while drawing out their phones.

“Ethan Smith, do you want to die?” Marc Fraley was noticeably angry.

Ethan Smith sneered, “I came here today to kill you, Marc Fraley. Aren’t you known as the genius of the Second Secret Realm? I want to experience your skills today!”

“Experience? Are you qualified?” Marc Fraley shouted.

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow, “What, are you scared now? Want to be a shrinking turtle? Looks like this genius of the Second Secret Realm is nothing more than a mere reputation.”

Marc Fraley squinted his eyes and said coldly, “You want to fight, we can do it in a few days, but today…”

“In a few days? If you’re scared, just say it!” Ethan Smith blurted out, interrupting Marc Fraley’s words.

“I suggest you go back to the Second Secret Realm and be a shrinking turtle!”

Marc Fraley was instantly outraged, he glared at Ethan Smith, “Kid, did you think I’m afraid of you! Fine, today I will teach you a lesson, you presumptuous brat!”

“Young master, don’t be impulsive,” at this moment, Channing intervened and stopped Marc Fraley.

He whispered, “Young master, don’t fall for this kid’s trick. He knows that a Martial Saint will emerge soon, so he wants to drag you down with him before he dies. Why should you stoop down to his level?”

Marc Fraley clenched his teeth, “So should I let him run his mouth off here! Where should I put the face of the Second Secret Realm!”

“Besides, he’s just at the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster realm. I, a Half-step Martial Sage, why can’t I kill him?”

After saying that, Marc Fraley pushed Channing aside and walked towards Ethan Smith!
