Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 701: Chapter 701: The Power of the Martial Saint Weapon

“You actually know about the Prajna Ruler?” Ethan Smith shook the ruler in his hand, saying in surprise.

Bryce Blair’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.

Martial Saint Weapons were of utmost importance, even for the great aristocratic families, they were incredibly precious items.

Usually, Martial Saint Weapons would never be taken out of the family grounds, and would never be used unless it was a crucial moment!

But no one had expected that Ethan Smith actually had a Martial Saint Weapon on him!

“Come on, let me see your broken crossbow.” Ethan Smith said with a grin.

Bert Mercer’s face looked extremely ugly, and he didn’t even have the intention to make a move.

“Isn’t your crossbow some kind of Earth Rank Weapon? Why are you hiding it now?” Ethan Smith asked mockingly.

Bert Mercer said coldly, “The Prajna Ruler belongs to the Capital City Martial Arts Association, you…”

“Now it’s mine.” Ethan Smith held the Prajna Ruler and casually swung it forward!

The terrifying Martial Saint Aura immediately rippled out!

Bert Mercer’s face changed drastically! He hurriedly urged his crossbow to shoot out its radiant light to counteract it!

However, in front of a Martial Saint Weapon, his crossbow was no match!

All of the radiance disappeared in an instant, and the Martial Saint Aura swept out even more fiercely!

“Pfft!”

After taking this hit, Bert Mercer spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

A huge crack appeared on his waist, from which fresh blood was gushing out!

Ethan Smith sneered, “It seems your broken crossbow has malfunctioned.”

Bert Mercer struggled to stand up from the ground.

He took a deep breath, and said coldly, “Ethan Smith, you’re lucky today. If you have the guts, keep the Prajna Ruler with you forever!”

Having said that, Bert Mercer turned and ran!

His speed was extremely fast, and he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ethan Smith toyed with the Prajna Ruler and turned to look at Bryce Blair.

“Mr. Blair, what about you?” Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow and asked.

As a big shot on the same level as Kylan Taylor, Bryce Blair naturally would not show panic.

Bryce Blair spread his hands, “You have a Martial Saint Weapon, so I won’t touch it. But one Martial Saint Weapon doesn’t necessarily mean anything.”

Ethan Smith sneered, “This Martial Saint Weapon at least ensures that you guys won’t dare to attack me rashly.”

Bryce Blair scoffed, “Ethan Smith, only your own strength is truly tangible.”

Having said that, Bryce Blair prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, Bryce Blair stopped again.

“Oh, I forgot to remind you, Martial Saint Weapons have a limited number of uses. Each time you use it, the Martial Saint Aura weakens a bit until it completely disappears.” Bryce Blair said indifferently.

“The Prajna Ruler in your hand… I remember it can be used at most three times? Oh, no, you just used it once, so there should be only two uses left.”

Having said that, Bryce Blair turned and left the Taoism Theory Library.

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but change his expression, his teeth grinding in anger.

“Dammit, why didn’t you say that earlier!” Ethan Smith’s face was full of heartache!

If he had known that earlier, he would not have used it just now!

“No wonder they’re not easily using Martial Saint Weapons, it turns out they really have limited uses.” Ethan Smith muttered.

Thinking about it this way, the Capital City Martial Arts Association really spent a fortune to try and get rid of him.

Ethan Smith didn’t linger, and immediately left the Taoism Theory Library.

…

This incident quickly caused a huge commotion!

The ugly face of the Capital City Martial Arts Association was exposed!

For a time, videos were exported and spread, even penetrating into the lives of ordinary people.

Davy Barnett’s words became a sensation throughout the world of martial arts!

“Capital City Martial Arts Association actually controls all the resources!”

“They pretend to help us ordinary martial artists on the surface, but in fact, they just want to deceive us to control our identities and resources!”

“Unfair, how much resources does the Capital City Martial Arts Association hold that should have belonged to us!”

Seeing the news online, even the senior officials of the Capital City Martial Arts Association couldn’t sit still.

“Something’s going to happen.” A cold voice came from the shadows.

“We must handle this matter properly; otherwise, there will be big trouble!”

“Davy Barnett is dead; there must be someone to replace him.”

“Since Davy Barnett exposed the existence of us eight, we should disappear for a while too.”

Eight figures slowly sank into the darkness.

At the same time, Emerson Holmes received his appointment letter and became the new president!

Emerson Holmes not only became the new president, but his authority was even above Davy Barnett’s!

The reason was simple: the eight senior officials wanted to keep a low profile for the time being.

As the matter continued to ferment, the responsibility naturally fell on Emerson Holmes’ head.

“The top brass will definitely question this.” Emerson Holmes couldn’t help but wear a worried expression.

There was no specific instruction from the higher-ups about this, which left Emerson Holmes unsure about how to handle it.

At this moment, the phone in Emerson Holmes’ office rang.

As soon as the call was connected, an authoritative voice was heard.

“Your Capital City Martial Arts Association really has guts! Who gave you the power to forcibly seal off resources?!”

Emerson Holmes didn’t dare to say much, but accompanied a smiling face and kept apologizing.

“The documents you submitted to us are all fake!” Jagger Shah on the other side burst into anger!

The Capital City Martial Arts Association had to report its work every year, including an overview of the currently available resources.

However, the resources reported by the Capital City Martial Arts Association in these years were all fake.

What they reported was less than one percent of the actual situation.

“It’s all Davy Barnett’s doing. I… I just took office.” Emerson Holmes said with a bitter smile.

Jagger Shah coldly said, “Don’t play dumb with me! Emerson Holmes, I don’t believe you know nothing about it!”

Emerson Holmes opened his mouth but suddenly had nothing to say.

Jagger Shah was silent for a moment and then continued, “And those so-called senior officials, where are they? I want to see them.”

This put Emerson Holmes in a difficult situation.

Because he didn’t know the whereabouts of those senior officials either.

“I really don’t know if what Davy Barnett said is true or false. I’m not clear about it.” Emerson Holmes said with a bitter smile.

Jagger Shah on the other side didn’t seem to make things difficult for Emerson Holmes either.

He was silent for a moment and said, “You’d better come up with a practical plan; otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Emerson Holmes quickly agreed, “Please rest assured; I will do my best!”

After hanging up the phone, Emerson Holmes couldn’t help leaning back on the sofa and taking a deep breath.

On the other side.

After Ethan Smith returned to Green Moon Villa, he planned to take Clare Richardson on a trip to the Immortal Slaying Sect.

The coffin was unearthed from the Immortal Slaying Sect, so Clare might be able to find something there.

But to enter the Immortal Slaying Sect, an array platform is needed, and Ethan Smith doesn’t currently have any information on array platforms.

Even if he searches in his inherited memories, it would probably take a while to find one.

…

That evening.

Ethan Smith strolled around the Green Moon Villa as usual to relax.

At this time, Clarissa Johnson’s voice sounded behind Ethan Smith.

“Mr. Smith, we’ve found out about the matter you asked us to investigate.” Clarissa said indifferently.
