Juan Diaz’s face changed slightly, he looked at Conrad Schroeder in front of him and frowned, “You are Conrad Schroeder? What nonsense!”
Although Juan Diaz didn’t know Conrad Schroeder personally, he had seen him through various channels as a famous figure in Shiglance City.
Conrad Schroeder, in his impression, didn’t look anything !
“Turns out it’s just a group of actors.” Juan Diaz confirmed his thoughts.
He stood up and pointed to Ethan Smith, saying, “You’re pretty good, huh? Just for face, you hired actors to act with you?”
Conrad Schroeder frowned, “What do you mean?”
Juan Diaz snorted, “I mean nothing, if I’m not mistaken, you guys should all be security guards, right?”
As soon as he heard this, the faces of those who had come from Shiglance City turned cold.
“Juan Diaz, you’d better think about the consequences when you speak.” Ethan Smith kindly reminded him.
“Consequences? Just a bunch of smelly security guards, what could possibly happen?”
“You’re really too much!” Finally, the secretary from Qiue Ohli couldn’t hold it in any longer!
“Which unit are you from? Why are you so arrogant?”
“I’ve never met anyone who dares to talk to me like that!”
Confronted with the anger of the crowd, Juan Diaz was completely unfazed.
He sneered, “Keep pretending, a bunch of smelly security guards, do you think dressed in fancy clothes, you can soar into the sky and become a phoenix?”
“Let me tell you all, I’m the boss of Brilliant Real Estate, Juan Diaz! ”
“Brilliant Real Estate? Fine, I’ll remember that.” Qiue Ohli’s secretary said coldly.
He glanced at Ethan Smith and said, “Mr. Smith, he’s not your friend, is he?”
“I don’t know him.” Ethan Smith replied casually.
“That’s good.” The secretary nodded.
He took out his phone and made a call.
When the call was connected, he immediately shouted, “There’s a company called Brilliant Real Estate, shut down all their projects, immediately, go do it now! ”
It wasn’t just Qiue Ohli’s secretary, others were also shutting down Brilliant
Real Estate at the same time.
These people were the leaders of Shiglance City’s business, and dealing with a small Brilliant Real Estate was a piece of cake for them.
At this point, Juan Diaz still had no idea of the severity of the situation.
He gestured, “Keep eating, keep drinking! ”
Just then, Juan Diaz’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was his secretary.
Juan Diaz held the phone and said to himself, “Calling me so late for New Year’s greetings? Seems like I have to deduct your salary.”
After saying that, Juan Diaz took the call.
“Why are you calling me so late for New Year’s greetings? Don’t want your job anymore?” Juan Diaz said with displeasure.
However, his secretary seemed a bit anxious, “Mr. Diaz, something bad happened!”
“What happened?” Juan Diaz frowned.
The secretary spoke hurriedly, “So, we suddenly got a phone call from the province, they stopped all of our company’s projects!”
“And several leading real estate companies in Shiglance City have jointly boycotted our company!”
Upon hearing this, Juan Diaz’s face changed drastically!
He suddenly stood up and exclaimed, “What did you say?! This… this can’t be true!”
His secretary forced a bitter smile, “Mr. Diaz, you’d better figure out a way. After the New Year, we have several loans due. If our project is stopped… we won’t be able to pay them back.”
After that, the secretary hung up the phone.
Juan Diaz’s face turned pale in an instant!
Could it be that the people in front of him were really big shots from Shiglance City?
“Who… who are you?” Juan Diaz pointed to Ethan Smith, his voice trembling.
Someone nearby snickered, “You don’t even recognize the King of Chuzzle, and you’re still trying to mix in Shiglance City?” King of Chuzzle!
Hearing this title, Juan Diaz was shocked!
These three words, the King of Chuzzle, were whispered throughout the entire Shiglance City!”
And the countless legends about him!
“You… you are the King of Chuzzle?” Juan Diaz panicked.
He hurried over to Ethan Smith, his face filled with terror, “Mr…Mr. Smith, my…my eyes were blind, didn’t know it was you, please forgive me, give me a way to live…”
Ethan Smith couldn’t be bothered with Juan Diaz, he stood up and said,
“Everyone, let’s find another place.”
“No, no, no, Mr. Smith, we just came to visit you. We’ve brought the gifts, and we should be going back.” Everyone said one after another.
Seeing the situation, Ethan Smith didn’t insist on staying.
After sending everyone away, Ethan Smith stretched himself and said, “New Year’s Eve dinner is over, we should go back to sleep.”
Edward Green said, “Mr. Smith, I heard there are more programs later in the night. ”
“Not interested.” Ethan Smith waved his hand and prepared to leave.
Juan Diaz grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm in a hurry, and said in pain, “Mr. Smith, I have elderly and young family members. If I go bankrupt, what will happen to my family?”
Ethan Smith glanced at him and sneered, “What does it have to do with me, a smelly security guard?”
After throwing down these words, Ethan Smith turned and left the hotel.
When Ethan Smith returned home, it suddenly started to snow heavily.
Ethan, wearing his pajamas, stood in front of the window, quietly watching the snow outside.
“A good omen of a bountiful year with heavy snowfall.” Ethan murmured quietly.
Unconsciously, a scene flashed through his mind:
Holding Emily’s hand, playing in the snow, making snowmen and having snowball fights, without money or earthly ties, only the purest feelings from the bottom of their hearts.
Unfortunately, this could only be a fantasy.
The next day, it was time to visit relatives.
Ethan Smith had no entanglements, so he didn’t go out for several days. Spending every day guarding the stove, quietly absorbing the faint Qi from the heavens and the earth.
QI in River City was very thin, and Ethan had been to almost every place where it was available.
Since the Qi converged very slowly, it might take ten or even eight years to fully recover.
Therefore, these past few days of cultivation didn’t bring any noticeable results.
Just like that, they came to the sixth day of the lunar month.
Ethan estimated the time, and there were only seven months left until the day he had agreed with Dexter Blair.
“Seven months, I must at least reach the Monastic Stage Peak, or even the higher Enlightenment level, otherwise there’s no chance of winning.” Ethan thought quietly.
The Enlightenment period corresponded to the Grandmaster level.
As long as he stepped into the Grandmaster, Ethan was fully confident in being invincible among his peers.
Even facing the likes of Cato Cain, who was at the Peak Form of the Grandmaster, Ethan wasn’t afraid.
As for the higher Golden Core Stage, it was too far away for Ethan Smith, and he couldn’t dare to hope for it in the meantime.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Ethan prepared to leave River City and head straight to Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Divine Alchemist Pavilion, also known as Divine Alchemist Valley, gathered not only the top domestic alchemists but also had an extremely terrifying amount of herb resources.
