Seeing that Ethan Smith didn’t speak, Violet Miller continued, ‘You must have been thrown out again. Did my sister even give you any money?”
Ethan remained silent.
When he was previously living with the Johnson family, he was often thrown out by Sylvia Johnson for trivial things, without getting any money.
Initially, Ethan couldn’t understand why Sylvia would get so furious over simple matters.
Only later did he realize that it was to create opportunities for her to spend time with Gary Brown.
“Forget it, you’re pitiful. Why don’t you just join us,” Violet muttered. Ethan glanced at her and said, “No need.”
“Tsk, tsk. Are you embarrassed? If you don’t have any money, how are you going to survive? There’s no point in pretending to be strong for anyone,” Violet dismissed him with a humph.
Ethan wasn’t in the mood for a verbal spar with Violet. All his thoughts were focused on the upcoming Water Dragon Cave event.
“You’re here for Younger Lord of Lane Family’s martial arts contest, right?” Violet continued to ask.
Ethan looked at her and nodded, “Yes.”
“Tsk.” Violet couldn’t help but pout.
“Why is there such a difference between those named Ethan Smith?” Violet snorted.
“Violet, is this your friend?” At this moment, a charming young man approached them from a distance.
Seeing the young man, Violet and her friends hurriedly went to greet him.
“Darwin, you came too,” they shouted.
Darwin Hebert slightly nodded and said, “Yes, I can’t miss such an exciting event, and I’m friends with Younger Lord of Lane Family.”
“Wow, you’re friends with Younger Lord of Lane Family?” Hearing this, Violet and the others’ eyes lit up instantly.
“Yes, we’ve known each other for many years. You could say we’re old acquaintances”, Darwin replied, boasting a little.
“Wow, Darwin, you’re amazing!” Violet excitedly exclaimed.
With that, Violet grinned and said, “Darwin, the area is blocked off and we’re not allowed in. Since you’re friends with Younger Lord of Lane Family, could you take us in?”
“Yeah, Darwin, it’s too far to see anything from here!” Violet’s classmates also yelled in agreement.
At this, Darwin’s brow furrowed slightly.
In reality, his relationship with Asher Lane wasn’t that close. They’d only attended the same dinner party, and it wasn’t even certain if Asher remembered him.
But with everyone watching, Darwin braced himself and said, “No problem, I’ll just need to greet him, since we’re friends.”
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Violet and the others excitedly cheered.
Ethan glanced at him but remained silent.
For spoilt rich kids like these, Ethan never had any sympathy or liking.
“Ah, the contest should be starting in about an hour, right?” Violet’s classmate Selina Burton remarked.
“I don’t know where this Ethan Smith gets his courage to challenge Younger
Lord of Lane Family.”
“Yeah, truly doesn’t know his own limits.”
As the group talked amongst themselves, Darwin said nonchalantly, “This Ethan Smith isn’t simple. From what I know, he comes from a great family in Capital City.”
“A great family in Capital City?” At this, Violet and Selina looked somewhat shocked.
Darwin nodded and said lightly, “Yes, it’s a very powerful family.”
“No wonder he dares to challenge Younger Lord of Lane Family,” Violet suddenly realized.
“Humph, what’s the use of having a powerful background? A martial arts contest isn’t about who has a stronger background,” Selina snorted.
Darwin smiled and said, “As far as I know, this Ethan Smith’s capabilities are not ordinary.”
Upon hearing this, Ethan himself couldn’t help but turn around and look over.
Darwin said nonchalantly, “To tell you the truth, I have a close relationship with Ethan Smith.”
“Wow, Darwin, you’re so incredible! You even know Ethan Smith!” Violet’s eyes were filled with admiration as her mouth gaped open.
Darwin nodded slightly, ‘Yes, we’ve dined together and shared drinks.”
“No one can compare to Darwin! You know so many important people!” Selina gave him a big thumbs up.
Darwin chuckled and said, “It’s nothing, just business connections through our families, nothing worth mentioning.”
Listening to Darwin boast, Ethan couldn’t bear it any longer.
He walked up to Darwin and asked with a smile, “So you say you know Ethan Smith?”
Darwin glanced at Ethan and said indifferently, “Of course, and he even calls me Darwin.”
Ethan sneered and said, “Then how come I don’t know you?”
