    Ethan Smith’s arrival undoubtedly broke the tranquil atmosphere.


    Asher Lane even unconsciously clenched his fists, ring with a fierce expression.


    Ethan Smith quickly swept his gaze, and soon locked his eyes on ze Lane.


    Afterward, Ethan leisurely walked over and sat down opposite of ze.


    ze’s brows furrowed slightly but soon rxed.


    “Are you Ethan Smith?” ze asked with a smile.


    Ethan nodded and said, “Mr. Lane, are the herbs and contract ready?”


    zeughed heartily and said, “Don’t be so hasty, young man. Have some tea first.”


    After saying that, ze waved his hand, signaling his men to pour a cup of tea for Ethan.


    “Please,” ze said with a faint smile.


    Ethan lowered his head, then drained the tea cup in one gulp.


    After finishing, Ethan couldn’t help but frown slightly.


    “Pour another cup for Mr. Smith,” ze said with a faint smile.


    His men hurriedly refilled Ethan’s cup.


    Ethan squinted his eyes, put down the tea cup, and said, “Let’s talk about business. ”


    “Hehe, Mr. Smith, there’s no need to be so impatient. Our Lane Family never goes back on our word. Moreover, you and Asher be acquainted through fights. Our Lane Family is willing to make friends with you,” ze waved his hand, still smiling.


    Hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.


    He wouldn’t believe even a punctuation mark from this sly old fox!


    ze poured another cup of tea for Ethan and casually said, “Mr. Smith, it’s admirable for you to have achieved so much aftering from a small ce like River City.”


    Ethan nced at him and said, “Mr. Lane is too kind. I am just lucky.”


    ze remained expressionless and continued, “I heard you are an orphan?” Ethan’s brows furrowed, feeling slightly displeased, but still nodded and said,


    “Yes.”


    ze stroked his chin and sighed, “Nowadays, many wealthy young people like to leave their families and hide their identities to gain experience. I understand.”


    Upon nearing ze’s words, Etnan nad a pretty good Idea ot wnat ne wanted to ask.


    He didn’t say anything, waiting for ze to continue.


    Seeing Ethan’sposure, ze went on asking, “Not long ago, Miss Taylor from the Taylor Family suddenly went to River City to invest. This has caused quite a stir.”


    Ethan smiled and said, “Yes, River City is just a small ce. Not to mention the Taylor Family from the Capital City, even the Lane Family wouldn’t be willing to invest there, right?”


    “Haha, indeed, River City has no investment value,” ze said with a smile and nod.


    Ethan fell silent again, which made ze feel somewhat displeased.


    He tentatively asked, “Rumors have it that you are the illegitimate son of the Taylor family, and their investment in River City is to support you.” Ethanughed.


    He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said, “Mr. Lane, I have no connection with the Taylor family, and they will not provide any help for me.” ze’s eyes lit up, but his cautious nature still made him feel a bit uneasy.


    Thus, ze feigned surprise and said, “It seems unlikely, doesn’t it? Miss Taylor has destroyed the Hill family in a fit of rage for you. This has spread throughout Chuzzle Province.”


    “It’s because the Hill family kidnapped Miss Taylor. It has nothing to do with me,” Ethan said.


    “As for the rtionship between Miss Taylor and me, the Taylor family does not recognize it,” Ethan confessed without any reservation.


    After hearing these words from Ethan, ze finally rxed.


    Since the Taylor family did not recognize their rtionship, ze had nothing to worry about.


    His full-faced smile disappeared in an instant, reced by an indescribable yfulness.


    “Ethan, you are still too young, reckless, and don’t understand the ways of the world. You easily exposed your true situation,” ze said with a slightly regretful shake of his head.


    “If I were you, I would have deliberately blurred my rtionship with the Taylor family to keep others guessing, so they wouldn’t take the risk to challenge me, but unfortunately, you’re too stupid. You were deceived by my kind appearance, and you easily revealed your bottom line,” ze sneered.


    Ethan nced at him and said, “You don’t really think I didn’t know your little n, do you? You seem polite, but every word you say is testing my rtionship with the Taylor family.”


    “That’s correct,” ze said with a light smile.


    “So as long as the Taylor family won’t help me, you have no worries, right?” Ethan chuckled.


    “Hahaha!” ze couldn’t help butugh out loud.


    “You’re right, but unfortunately, you realize it toote,” ze said with a slight shake of his head.


    Ethan snorted and said, “No, ze, I saw through your intentions long ago.”


    “Oh? Then why did you still tell me all this?” ze suddenly became worried.


    Did this kid lie about the Taylor family not helping…?


    Ethan indifferently said, “It’s because I don’t care about the Lane Family at all. even without the support of the Taylor family, the Lane Family is nothing to me.”


    Hearing this, ze’s face immediately showed a trace of anger.


    “You’re really stubborn. No one has ever looked down on our Lane Family!” ze said coldly.


    “Dad, stop talking nonsense with him! I must kill him!” Asher Lane stood up angrily, ring at Ethan.


    ze didn’t respond.


    “Everything is prepared. If you have the courage, take them away,” ze said indifferently.


    Ethan looked at the yful ze and couldn’t help butugh.


    Without a second thought or word, he picked up the contract and herbs.


    “Thank you for the Lane Family’s gift. I will remember it,” Ethan said with a


    smile.


    After leaving those words, Ethan turned around and started to walk away.


    But after taking just two steps, he was stopped by three men.


    “Hahaha, you really are a fool. Do you think it’s so easy to take my Lane Family’s things?” ze couldn’t help butugh out loud.


    Ethan looked at the three men in front of him and sneered, “Just because of these three trash, they want to stop me?”


    “Ethan! You are too arrogant!” Asher Lane shouted furiously.


    “These three men are all entrusted servants of my Lane Family, much stronger than me! Killing you would be as easy as ughtering chickens and dogs!” Asher said coldly.


    “Really? I don’t think so,” Ethan shook his head.


    ze, not far away, said with a faint smile, “If you hadn’t taken the contract and herbs just now, I might have considered letting you leave the Lane Family.


    Unfortunately, you’ve missed that chance.”


    With that, ze sat back in his chair and casually waved his hand.


    Immediately, the three men reached out to grab Ethan!


    As Asher had said, the strength of these three was indeed above his own. Their casual grabs were fierce and brutal!


    Ethan stared coldly at the three men, his internal spiritual power instantly surging to its peak!


    With a wave of his hand, a huge force suddenly burst forth!
