41 Chapter 41: The Power of the Hill Family_1
Edward Green didn't refuse; although he followed the Hill family, he always looked down on them.
So, Edward Green told Ethan Smith everything he knew.
"The Hill family's main source of assets is health products, but nowadays, the wealthy are more or less involved in the real estate industry," said Edward Green.
"Health products?" Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow and scoffed.
Isn't that right up his alley?
With just one formula, Ethan Smith could bankrupt the Hill family!
"Mr. Smith, why don't you let the Taylor family help you with this?" Edward Green asked puzzledly.
"For the Taylor family, perhaps just one word could make the Hill family go bankrupt," said Ethan Smith, shaking his head, "You can't rely on others for everything. Only when you're capable yourself can you win the respect of others."
If everything depended on Emily Taylor, what qualification would Ethan Smith have to propose marriage to the Taylor family?
Having experienced life with the Johnson family in these three years, Ethan knew very well that in the face of inequality, there is no dignity.
"Another thing I want to ask you," Ethan continued.
"Who did you learn your skills from?" asks Ethan Smith.
Edward Green's strength was the strongest Ethan Smith had seen so far.
Even at the Second-Layer Qi Refining stage, Ethan was no match for him.
Edward Green was silent for a moment before smiling bitterly, "I studied under the southeast sect, but unfortunately, my strength was too weak, so I was kicked out."
"Too weak?" Ethan Smith was a bit surprised.
If Edward Green was kicked out of his mentorship, how strong must this Southeastern Sect be?
Edward Green continued to explain, "The Southeast Sect also practices inner strength, and my level at most could be considered Eighth-rank Inner Strength."
"For the Southeast Sect, anyone below the Inner strength Masters isn't qualified." Edward Green's face was filled with some regret. n)(OveLBIn
This suddenly piqued Ethan Smith's interest.
Through their conversation, Ethan Smith learned that an Inner Strength Master in the Southeast Sect is only considered a beginner. Above that level, there are Inner Strength Greatmasters and even Grandmasters.
Those with high enough strength either dominate in one area or join the top families.
"Actually, Miss Taylor should know more about this," Edward Green said.
This couldn't help but make Ethan Smith feel slightly threatened.
"It seems that I need to improve my strength as soon as possible," Ethan thought to himself.
...
The next day.
The Hill family released a heavy news in River City: Whoever does business with Ethan Smith is an enemy of the Hill family!
As soon as this news was released, it caused a huge stir.
Within just one day, dozens of people visited the Hill family.
Most of these people were local businessmen in River City, who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to suck up to the Hill family.
Ethan Smith didn't care too much, as he didn't know many businessmen in the first place. So whether they would be affected or not didn't matter much to him.
By evening, Ethan Smith suddenly received a phone call.
This call actually came from Derek Peterson.
"Mr. Smith, my father would like to invite you to dinner. I don't know if you have time tonight," Derek said very politely on the phone.
Ethan Smith couldn't help but laugh, "Your father? I have no connection with your father. If you have something to say, just say it."
Derek said bitterly, "You really see through everything. My father does want to ask for your help. If it's convenient for you, let's meet and talk."
Ethan Smith thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright."
More than ten minutes later, Derek personally drove to the Dragon Rising Community.
Derek's face looked a bit haggard with a loss of spirit.
When he saw Edward Green, his face changed involuntarily.
"Mr. Smith, why is he here?" asked Derek cautiously.
Ethan Smith smiled, patted Edward Green on the shoulder, and said, "He's now my man."
Derek was instantly stunned, seemingly struggling to comprehend.
"Let's not talk about this," Ethan Smith waved, "Let's go."
So, Ethan got into Derek's car.
Derek was driving a Mercedes-Benz G63, very impressive. Most of the cars in the neighborhood would give way to it.
Just as the car was about to exit the gate of the community, another car horizontally cut them off.
Derek frowned and was about to speak when he saw Gary Brown roll down the window.
"Yo, isn't this Derek Peterson?" said Gary Brown with a smug tone.
Derek frowned, "Gary Brown? What do you want?"
Gary Brown smirked, "Nothing much, I just heard that your family, the Petersons, aren't doing so well? I heard all your business partners have terminated their contracts with you?"
Derek's face went cold, and he remained silent.
Gary Brown gloated, "Oh, tonight Mr. Hill is hosting a dinner party. I'm guessing he didn't invite you, did he?"
"It's none of your business, move your car!" Derek scolded coldly.
Gary Brown snorted and said, "Derek, why are you pretending? Mr. Hill has already announced he wants your family bankrupt! Do you still think your family is the richest here?"
Ethan Smith, in the car, could not help but frown.
He rolled down the window, looked at Gary Brown coldly, and said, "Move your car. I don't want to say it a second time."
"Yo, Ethan Smith is here too?" Seeing Ethan Smith, Gary Brown's smile grew even more.
Ethan didn't say a word. He just pushed open the car door and got out.
Seeing this, Gary Brown quickly climbed on his car and locked the door.
"What, want to hit me? Come on, try hitting me once," Gary Brown taunted.
Ethan Smith nodded, extended his hand, grabbed the car door, and, with a sudden force, pulled it off with a loud crack!
Then the locked car door was torn off by Ethan Smith in the next second!
