Chapter 458: 458: People in Panic

He politely asked, “Mr. Blair, what can I do for you?”

On the other end, Reilly Blair coldly asked, “I heard you’ve issued a challenge to Ethan Smith?”

Dudley sighed, “Yeah, but sadly, Ethan Smith hasn’t shown up yet.”

Reilly Blair was silent for a moment, then said coldly, “What do you plan to do?”

Dudley quickly responded, “I want to threaten him, but I can’t be too high-profile about it, so I can only wait.”

Reilly Blair said coldly, “Do what you want. As for the rest, the Blair family will handle it for you.”

Upon hearing this, Dudley was overjoyed!

He hastily asked, “Mr. Blair, are you serious?”

“Yes,” Reilly Blair agreed, “But I expect to see Ethan Smith seriously injured or crippled.”

Dudley was a smart man and instantly understood Reilly Blair’s intentions.

“Mr. Blair, rest assured, I will give you satisfactory results,” Dudley said indifferently.

After hanging up, Dexter Blair walked over from the side.

“Dad, why do you want him to cripple Ethan Smith? Do you think I’m not a match for him?” Dexter said with some displeasure.

Reilly glanced at Dexter and said solemnly, “To prevent accidents, it’s better to cripple him first, in case you lose…”

“There will be no accidents, no possibility!” Dexter said angrily.

“What is Ethan Smith but an ant under my foot? I can crush him with one step!”

Seeing this, Reilly pondered, “I believe in your ability, but we have to not only win but win easily. Understand?”

“Moreover, don’t underestimate that Ethan Smith.”

Dexter gritted his teeth, but in the end, he said nothing.

After receiving the call from the Blair family, Dudley’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Since the Blair family is backing me, I have nothing to fear,” Dudley sneered.

Then, he immediately sent people to spread the word:

If after three days Ethan Smith does not appear, Mr. Lynch will target those close to Ethan Smith.

For each day he does not appear, one person will be killed until he appears!

As soon as this spread, the whole Chuzzle was shocked!

Those related to Ethan Smith were shivering with fear!

“It seems that Dudley is confident, using this method to force Ethan Smith to appear.”

“Well, after all, he’s a half-step Martial Marquis. It’s not difficult for him to take out Ethan Smith.”

“Let’s just wait and see if Ethan Smith will show up for the sake of those around him, or continue to be a shrinking turtle.”

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Only one day remains until the deadline related to Dudley Lynch.

However, Ethan Smith still showed no signs of any movement, and no one could find any trace of him.

At that moment, the entire Chuzzle was in a state of panic.

Even those related to Ethan Smith fled overnight, fearing that they would encounter disaster!

“Dudley Lynch has come to the door, but Ethan Smith remains inactive, how ridiculous.”

“Others are already using his friends as threats, and yet he still doesn’t show up. Looks like he’s a shrinking turtle.”

“Haha, those related to Ethan Smith must be regretting it now.”

At this time, Sofia Carrillo and Edward Green had not yet left Chuzzle.

Although they knew that the first person Dudley would target was likely them, they were still unwilling to leave.

“What if Master Smith doesn’t really show up?” Sofia said softly.

Edward Green waved his hand dismissively, “No way! He isn’t the type to run away from a fight! Relax, eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to drink!”

As he spoke, Edward Green mysteriously said, “I just stole a sheep, we’ll have roast whole lamb tonight!”

Sofia couldn’t help but sigh and said helplessly, “You sure have a lot of faith.”

Edward rolled his eyes, “I’ve already said there’s no need to worry, Mr. Smith will definitely come back.”

At this moment, Ethan Smith was immersed in his cultivation in the Hydrating Tower.

This immersive training made Ethan Smith barely feel the passage of time.

And his strength was quietly growing.

Ethan had no knowledge of the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Ethan’s strength had also progressed from the third layer of the Enlightenment Stage to the fifth layer.

“At this pace, I’ll reach the half-step Martial Marquis within a week at most,” thought Ethan privately.

Among his peers, Ethan was afraid of no one, even the likes of Dudley Lynch and Dexter Blair.

Then, he closed his eyes again, continuing to absorb the qi from the Hydrating Tower.

Chuzzle was now in the eye of the storm.

At noon today, the sun was high up in the sky.

This leisurely afternoon, a piece of news made everyone panic.

“The time has come, and Ethan Smith still hasn’t appeared. I’ll keep my promise.”

Dudley Lynch’s words spread through the streets and alleys!

Edward Green, who was still asleep, was pushed awake by Sofia Carrillo.

“It’s time, and Master Smith hasn’t returned yet,” Sofia said with a frown.

Edward rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, “Has it been so soon? It shouldn’t be…”

Sofia had no patience for his nonsense. She whispered, “Should we leave Chuzzle for now, lie low, and wait for Master Smith’s return?”

Edward turned over and grumbled, “I’m not going anywhere. I don’t believe Dudley can do anything to me…”

After that, Edward fell back into a deep sleep.

Sofia was anxious, she didn’t want to leave Chuzzle, but staying could very likely lead to her death.

After much thought, Sofia gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s take it one step at a time.”

So, Sofia lay down beside Edward and fell into a drowsy sleep herself.

At the hotel entrance, Dudley Lynch stood there quietly.

“Who should I start with?” Dudley wondered silently.

“Conrad Schroeder? Adonis Williams? Or the Four Great Families of Chuzzle?”

“As far as I know, it seems many families in Chuzzle are close to Ethan.”

After much consideration, Dudley decided not to target Conrad and Adonis for the time being.

Both of them had a certain influence, and keeping them alive might be useful.

That afternoon, a message spread through Chuzzle:

Jaelen Watts, one of the Four Great Families, was killed by Dudley Lynch in one move!

As this news spread, people were dumbfounded.

Dudley didn’t go after Conrad but instead went after Jaelen Watts?

Although the Perez Family had already submitted to Ethan, they were not very close to him and rarely met!

The next day, another piece of news came out:

The head of one of the Four Great Families, the Anderson Family, was also killed in a single blow!

Within three days, three people from the Four Great Families had died!

This was enough to show that Dudley was not joking!

Schroeder Family.

Conrad Schroeder stood by the window, gazing into the distance.

At this moment, his steward, Uncle Armando, suddenly came forward and whispered, “The four heads of the Four Great Families have already died, and we may be next.”

Conrad remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“Master, Ethan probably won’t come back. We should run away,” Uncle Armando advised desperately.

Conrad gave Uncle Armando a cold look and said, “No, he will definitely come back.”

Uncle Armando sighed, “Three people have already died. Are we just going to wait for death?”

For a moment, Conrad also sighed continuously.

Yes, what was the point of staying?

“Wait a little longer, just a little longer,” Conrad took a deep breath.

He believed firmly that Ethan was not one to shirk responsibility and would never behave like a cowardly turtle.
