The sudden display of enormous strength turned the faces of the three disciples pale!
However, it was too late for them to retreat now! They could only brace themselves and face it head-on!
As the force was unleashed, the three people were sent flying!
They fell to the ground with pale faces, and some even coughed up blood on the spot!
Asher Lane stood up abruptly, staring at the scene in shock, and exclaimed, “How is this possible!”
How could Ethan Smith’s strength have made such tremendous progress in just one night?
Ethan Smith coldly looked at Blaze Lane and said, “I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else.”
Blaze Lane shouted angrily, “Stop!”
Ethan stopped in his tracks and sneered, “Is there something else?”
Ignoring Ethan, Blaze yelled, “Aidan Ortega, cripple him for me!”
Following the roar, the scene fell silent without a word in response.
“Aidan Ortega?” Blaze Lane frowned, turned around, and found Aidan Ortega lying on the sofa, sound asleep.
Blaze’s face turned livid.
He had agreed to act according to the situation, but Aidan had actually fallen asleep at such a crucial moment!
“Wake him up for me!” Blaze said between clenched teeth.
The two people beside Aidan hurriedly walked over.
But no matter how they shouted, Aidan didn’t react at all, sleeping like a dead pig.
“Mr. Lane, Aidan was exhausted last night and probably won’t wake up for a while…” The two people standing beside Aidan said somewhat awkwardly.
Blaze was furious, but there was nothing he could do!
This was Aidan’s drawback: once he fell asleep, he was just like a dead person, unable to be woken up.
Seeing this, Ethan couldn’t help but laugh.
“In that case, I’ll take my leave.” Ethan glanced at Blaze and then swaggered out of the Lane family residence.
As soon as Ethan stepped out of the entrance, he saw a Land Rover Range Rover parked at the gate.
Upon seeing Ethan, a middle-aged man hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards him.
“Mr. Smith! ” The middle-aged man reached Ethan, warmly shook hands with him.
Ethan was not at all surprised by this situation; it seemed as if he had expected it.
“And you are?” Ethan asked calmly.
The middle-aged man handed over his business card and said with a smile, “My name is Caesar Nolan. I’d like to make friends with Mr. Smith. I wonder if you could give me the honor?”
“Caesar Nolan?” Ethan thought carefully about the name; it seemed somewhat familiar, and he must be quite influential in South City.
“Mr. Smith, I’ve prepared a banquet, and I’d like to invite you to have lunch with me.” Caesar Nolan continued.
Ethan was in an excellent position to expand his network, so he agreed with a nod.
Once they were in the car, it sped off towards the restaurant.
Actually, Ethan was well aware that the Nolan family was not the only influence wanting to win him over; there were multiple forces at play.
Their goals could not be simple; most likely, they wanted to take advantage of Ethan or use the connections of the Taylor family behind him.
However, Ethan was not worried; in the end, it might not be clear who would be using whom.
Through a brief conversation, Ethan learned that Caesar Nolan’s status was similar to that of Ray Walters in River City.
The difference was that Caesar Nolan’s position far exceeded Ray Walters’, and his business had expanded nationwide.
In South City, Caesar Nolan also supported a group of disciples who not only didn’t fear the Lane family but had also been secretly competing with them for many years.
For Ethan, Caesar Nolan was a good choice.
“Mr. Smith, the fact that you managed to walk out of the Lane family’s house really took us by surprise,” Caesar Nolan said with a laugh.
“Old fox Blaze Lane must have been worried about the Taylor family behind you, right?” someone nearby chimed in.
Ethan glanced at them and replied truthfully, “The Taylor family won’t interfere, and they won’t pay attention to me. I was able to leave the Lane family purely because their men were not up to standard.”
Despite saying this, his words clearly showed that he didn’t believe it.
In Caesar Nolan’s opinion, Ethan just wanted to satisfy his own vanity.
Ethan understood their thoughts but said nothing more.
Aidan Ortega was the most powerful person in the entire Lane family.
Although he didn’t get to compete with him, Ethan didn’t feel he would lose to Aidan.
The car quickly arrived at a restaurant, and as they entered through the door, a few people were already waiting at the table.
Ethan swept the room with a glance, counting six people in total. Among them, three were Inner Strength Experts with formidable prowess. One elderly man’s strength was likely on par with Aidan Ortega’s.
The other two were not inferior to Blaze Lane.
As they sat down, Caesar Nolan laughed and said, “Let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Ethan Smith, who just won against Asher Lane of the Lane family last night.”
“Haha, Mr. Nolan, you don’t need to introduce too much. Mr. Smith is very popular right now,” someone by the side said.
“You’re the first one in South City to slap the Lane family in the face in front of so many people!”
Hearing the praise, Ethan smiled and thanked them one by one.
That was when the elderly man spoke up.
He looked at Ethan and said indifferently, “To publicly challenge Asher Lane, you indeed.”
Hearing the elderly man’s words, everyone immediately fell silent, all eyes turning to him.
From the reactions of the people, it was clear that this elderly man held an extraordinary status in the Nolan family.
“Mr. Smith, let me introduce you. This is Ellis Mitchell, one of the Nolan family’s disciple shareholders,” Caesar Nolan said with a smile.
“Mr. Mitchell is a legend in South City; apart from the fool Aidan Ortega, I don’t think Mr. Mitchell has ever lost, right?” someone laughed.
Caesar Nolan nodded slightly as well, “Indeed, I had to offer ten percent of the shares to keep Mr. Mitchell.”
“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Mitchell.” Ethan politely nodded at him.
Ellis Mitchell scrutinized Ethan and said, “I’ve seen the video of you fighting Asher Lane. Although not bad, there were numerous flaws. If I were Asher, you wouldn’t have lasted a single move.”
Hearing Ellis Mitchell’s arrogant words, Ethan felt somewhat displeased, but due to his status, he did not show it.
Ellis Mitchell continued, “At the age of thirty, you’re only a ninth-rank Inner Strength practitioner. Your potential is quite ordinary.”
“However, in light of Mr. Nolan’s face, I can take you as my disciple and elevate you to the level of an Inner Strength Master,” Ellis Mitchell said indifferently..
