“Trash? Who are you calling trash?” Melvin ir red furiously at Dirk
Buchanan, his face stony.<div>
At that, Dirk Buchanan’s expression shifted dramatically!
Melvin ir was an Inner Strength Master! He had forgotten about that fact!
With that realization, Dirk Buchanan hastily corrected himself, “Mr. ir, how could Ethan Smithpare to you? Though you’re both Inner Strength Masters, you are a member of the ir family! Your strength is definitely superior to Ethan Smith’s!”
“As for this Ethan Smith, he’s just a worm living in the gutter. Comparing him to you is an insult to you!”
Dirk Buchanan certainly had a knack for sycophancy.
Melvin ir’s face seemed to have softened a bit.
“Don’t worry, young master. I will deal with this kid,” Dirk Buchanan said confidently, beating his chest.
He carried an overwhelming murderous aura. No doubt, he wanted to make a good impression in front of Melvin ir and curry favor with him.
Ethan Smith remained unfazed. He looked coldly at Dirk Buchanan, clearly ready to retaliate.
“Wait.”
Just then, Evelyn Norton stepped forward gracefully with a smile.<div>
She first approached Melvin ir and respectfully said, “Greetings to you, young master ir.”
Looking at Evelyn Norton, Melvin ir’s eyes widened!
Beauty! Absolute beauty!
The aura emanating from Evelyn Norton was entirely different from the cheap, seductive women he’d been with before. Simply irresistible!
Melvin ir swallowed hard, his eyes shamelessly roaming over Evelyn Norton’s body.
If not for the crowd around them, Melvin ir would have probably pounced on her by now!
“Miss Norton, what can I do for you?” Dirk Buchanan asked.
Evelyn Norton ignored Dirk Buchanan and smiled at Melvin ir, “Young master ir, Ethan Smith is an Inner Strength Master. So are you.”
“Moreover… the backing of the ir family is not something someone like Ethan Smith can match.”
“As the young master of the ir family, your cultivation skills naturally far surpass Ethan Smith’s. Why would you need a servant to act on your behalf?” Dirk Buchanan’s face darkened at being referred to as a ‘servant’.
Stroking his chin, Melvin ir chuckled, “Miss Norton does have a point.”<div>
“Young Master,” the two elderly men standing by his side rushed forward, seemingly concerned.
But Melvin ir, wishing to impress Evelyn Norton, waved his hand and said nonchntly, “As a ir, I im to be undefeated amongst those of my level. And that’s hardly an exaggeration!”
“Killing this Ethan Smith would take no more than a flick of my wrist!” Melvin ir proimed confidently.
An involuntary smile crossed Ethan Smith’s face.
So this Melvin ir nned to deal with him himself?
A mere Inner Strength Master wouldn’t even have time to strike back in front of Ethan Smith!
The spectators around were intrigued and looked on with excitement.
“Smith’s strength is unremarkable, he may not even be a match for Melvin ir,” ine Pitts snorted dismissively.
However, Reginald Tucker remained silent, calmly watching the scene unfold.
“Boy, just like Miss Norton suggested, I’ll take care of you myself.” Melvin ir said coldly.
Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure? Just you, an Inner Strength
Master?”
“Yes, just me!” Melvin ir bellowed, clenching his fist heunched a punch at Ethan Smith!
On top of Melvin ir’s fists, two spikes of inner strength condensed, as if they meant to pierce through Ethan Smith’s chest!
Yet, Ethan Smith stood unmoving, a smirk painting his face.
His smirk only served to infuriate Melvin ir even more!
“You’re seeking your own death!” Melvin ir roared again, his entire fist suddenly covered in dense spikes!
“Bang!”
These spikes mercilessly struck Ethan Smith’s chest! And Ethan Smith, he just stood there, unperturbed!
“Crack! ”
A snapping sound!
The spikes on Melvin ir’s fist cracked and fell apart!
On the other hand, Ethan Smith stood there with his arms crossed behind him, totally unscathed!
“It seems that the ir family’s elegantly dressed young man isn’t all that either,” Ethan Smith sneered.
Melvin ir looked somewhat ufortable.
He nced down at his fist, murmuring softly, “How is this possible! As Inner
Strength Masters, he can’t possibly defeat me!”
“Master ir, that youngster has a peculiar physique, stay away from him!” Dirk Buchanan quickly advised.
“Whoosh”
A breeze blew, and an ominous look started appearing on Melvin ir’s face.
He moved his hands slowly in the air, and the trees around him swayed to his movements.
Qi from all around was actually converging towards Melvin ir!
“Worthy of ir family techniques, they’re indeed beyond ordinary!” Ethan Smith admired in his heart!
Manipting natural qi is certainly not something an ordinary martial artist could do.
The Qi condensed in Melvin ir’s palms, along with his loud roar, he brought both hands above his head!
Then he saw his hands congregate into a disk!
The disk kept expanding until it became asrge as a huge wheel!
“Kid, I’ll show you what the ir family’s deep-rooted background really means!” Melvin ir roared in anger!
“Boom!”
Melvin ir pushed the wheel forward, an overwhelming surge of spiritual power was heading straight for Ethan Smith’s head!
Ethan Smith remained calm, showing no intention of striking back. Melvin ir let out a joyous sneer, “It’s working, you’re doomed, kid!”
“Rumble!”
This huge disk ruthlessly smashed onto Ethan Smith’s body!
The collision instantly stirred up dust and even uprooted trees!
“Truly from ir family, despite being a side branch, their resources are far beyond what we can imagine.” A whispered remark slipped out from a spectator.
The strength on disy by Melvin ir had far exceeded that of an Inner Strength Master!
Even a Grandmaster would have to give it due deference!
This sent a wave of despair through the gathering martial artists.
The gap simply couldn’t be closed in one generation!
The dust began to slowly disperse, all eyes were on Ethan Smith.
“Is that all?”
A mocking voice came from the dust.
Everyone’s face changed in an instant!
Ethan Smith was seen standing in his ce, unmoved, Melvin ir’s attacking move had beenpletely useless!
“How is that possible!” Melvin ir’s face turned pale!
Ethan Smith appeared unharmed? Is he really an Inner Strength Master?
“How could this kid’s body be so bizarrely strong?
“Even I couldn’t manage to staypletely unharmed.” “Could it be that this Ethan Smith practices body cultivation?”
The crowd was abuzz, with looks of shock on their faces.
“Hmm? Something’s not right.” Not far away, ine Pitts furrowed his brows.
“He couldn’t withstand even one of my blows just now, now how… It’s like he’s apletely different person?”
Reginald Tucker squinted, “Could he be intentionally hiding his strength?”
In the distance, Melvin ir appeared somewhat awkward.
Two consecutive moves had failed to injure Ethan Smith.
This was a disgrace to the ir family!
Just as Dexter ir was about to give up, Evelyn Norton suddenlyughed, “Master ir, stop hiding your true strength, we all want to see what the ir family is reallyposed of.”
With this, Melvin ir was stuck!
He gritted his teeth and said, “If that’s the case, let me show you my real power!”
After saying so, Melvin ir had no choice but to press forward, fist clenched,unching another strike at Ethan Smith!
For this punch, he used almost all of his inner strength, aiming to intimidate Ethan Smith!
However, just as his fist was about to hit Ethan Smith, Ethan Smith extended his hand and grabbed Melvin ir’s fist.
“Isn’t it my turn now?” Ethan Smith sneered, revealing his teeth in a cold grin..
