Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Ethan Smith’s Strategy_1

Immediately after, Polly Reeves began to take off her clothes from the upper half of her body.

Seeing this, Ethan Smith hurriedly said, “What are you doing?”

Polly flicked her hair and said, “Don’t worry, I promised this, and you don’t need to be responsible.”

After finishing speaking, Polly walked towards Ethan.

Seeing this, Ethan hurriedly said, “Put your clothes back on quickly. I don’t need it.”

“Also, let me tell you, I won’t do anything to betray Emily Taylor.”

Polly whispered, “Mr. Smith, no one will know about this.”

Ethan frowned and said, “If you keep doing this, I’m leaving.”

After throwing down these words, Ethan stood up and was about to leave.

“Mr. Smith, don’t go,” Polly hastily stopped Ethan.

She put her clothes back on, and only then did Ethan stay.

“I’ll transfer you the money in a while,” Polly said.

Ethan thought for a moment and said, “Patriarch Reeves, if you really want to help me, just tell me what secret is hidden under that lake.”

Polly seemed to have guessed that Ethan would ask this, so there was not much surprise on her face.

“It’s a long story,” Polly said solemnly.

It was only after Polly’s explanation that Ethan learned the history of the lake.

The lake was called Iceheart Lake and had been here thousands of years ago.

And Polly’s ancestors were in charge of guarding Iceheart Lake, generation after generation.

“According to my father, it used to be a thriving sect here ten thousand years ago,” Polly said.

“As for this Iceheart Lake, it was created by that sect. My father said that as long as we guard this Iceheart Lake, we will definitely restore its prosperity.”

Ethan remained silent upon hearing this.

It seemed that there was something beneath the gap in the lake.

It was either a Dharma Treasure left behind by the sect from ten thousand years ago, or the sealed qi.

Furthermore, this qi may have been sealed for tens of thousands of years.

“If that gap could be opened, I wonder how much qi would be released,” Ethan thought silently.

But unfortunately, with Ethan’s current abilities, it was impossible to open the gap.

“Have you ever been to the bottom of the water?” Ethan asked.

Polly nodded, “I have been. I know that all the qi of Iceheart Lake comes from that gap.”

“Is there any way to open the gap?” Ethan eagerly asked.

Polly immediately looked at Ethan with some caution.

Obviously, she didn’t want anyone to touch Iceheart Lake.

However, this also revealed some information: Polly definitely knew how to open the gap!

Ethan thought for a moment and said, “How about this, Patriarch Reeves, why don’t we cooperate once.”

“Cooperate?” Polly was suddenly a little puzzled.

Ethan nodded and said, “Don’t you want to restore the glory of Beaufort Tower?”

“Of course,” Polly said with a bitter smile.

“But with the current situation, how could Beaufort Tower develop? It’s already good enough that I’ve come this far,” Polly sighed slightly.

Ethan said solemnly, “If you’re willing, why don’t you let me join Beaufort Tower? You and I both manage the sect together.”

Polly’s face revealed a touch of surprise, but she didn’t answer hastily.

Ethan continued, “With my current popularity, I believe there will be people joining Beaufort Tower.”

“With my alchemy skills, combined with Iceheart Lake, it’s not difficult at all to create a top sect.”

Hearing these words, Polly finally seemed to be somewhat moved.

She stared at Ethan, tentatively asking, “Mr. Smith, is what you’re saying true?”

“Of course,” Ethan nodded.

“By that time, you continue to be the sect master, and as for me… you can just give me any position.”

Polly was obviously swayed by Ethan’s words.

Beaufort Tower didn’t even have a half-step Martial Marquis, so if Ethan were to join, it would definitely be a good thing for Beaufort Tower!

Ethan struck while the iron was hot, “The Great Saint Sect has already discovered Iceheart Lake. Do you think you can resist the Great Saint Sect alone?”

Polly fell silent.

Yes, the Great Saint Sect, as the number one sect in the North, was definitely not something Polly could handle.

“You can think it over. I won’t force you,” Ethan stood up, ready to leave.

At this moment, Polly suddenly said, “Mr. Smith, I agree to your suggestion.”

Ethan’s heart rejoiced, but his face remained calm.

He turned around and said, “Well, let’s wish each other a happy cooperation.”

Polly softly said, “Starting tomorrow, you’ll be the Vice Patriarch of Beaufort Tower.”

The cooperation between the two was reached at this moment.

After leaving the office, Ethan couldn’t help but think in his heart, “This woman is so easy to trick.”

In this way, Ethan still got Iceheart Lake, just with a different approach.

As for how to open the gap, Ethan was not in a hurry.

When the Great Saint Sect came to invade again, Polly would naturally tell Ethan how to open the gap on her own initiative.

Although Ethan’s actions were somewhat despicable, he didn’t have any other choice at the moment.

As long as he could advance to the rank of Martial Marquis as soon as possible, he would be willing to do anything.

The next day.

Beaufort Tower was renamed Green Moon Villa.

Ethan immediately posted a message on the Martial Arts Forum:

Green Moon Villa is officially established with Ethan Smith as the Vice Patriarch. From today on, it will recruit talents from all over the world, with the objective of surpassing the Great Saint Sect.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused heated discussions!

It is important to know that Ethan has been a hot figure recently. Since his battle with Dexter Blair, his fame has soared, and he has been worshiped as an idol by countless people!

Therefore, many people were eager to try after seeing this news.

“Ethan is challenging all the major forces openly!”

“To be precise, it’s the major forces in Capital City!”

“I wonder if Green Moon Villa can surpass the Great Saint Sect!”

“I think there’s a chance. Once Ethan steps into the Martial Marquis realm, what’s the Great Saint Sect?”

“Right, and besides, Ethan himself is an alchemist and a favorite of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion! Who wouldn’t covet such resources?”

Seeing the news on the forum, Ethan couldn’t help but smile slightly.

He put down his phone and whispered, “I guess the Great Saint Sect should take action right away.”

…

Great Saint Sect.

After learning about this news, they immediately informed Joshua Hess.

“Sect Master, Ethan Smith has established Green Moon Villa and started recruiting talents,” Toby Bacchus said on the phone.

“As far as we know, Iceheart Lake is in Green Moon Villa.”

Upon hearing this, Joshua Hess’s face suddenly turned cold.

He squinted his eyes and said, “Ethan Smith, you really have a lot of guts. I was worried that I couldn’t find you… ”

After hanging up the phone, Joshua Hess didn’t speak twice and immediately headed for Green Moon Villa!
