As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked!

The many guests were even more excited, asking, “Mr. Mitchell, are you really serious?”

“Of course, I, Ellis Mitchell, always keep my word!” Ellis Mitchell said with a faint smile.

“Wow, becoming an Inner Strength Master is a huge opportunity!”

“Mr. Mitchell, if you have a chance, please help me too!”

These people seemed extremely excited, as if stepping into the realm of Inner Strength Masters was a difficult feat for them.

Even Caesar Nolan whispered to Ethan Smith, “Ethan, if you can reach the level of an Inner Strength Master, Asher Lane is no match for you!”

“You should know that Mr. Mitchell hasn’t taken in any disciples for a long time. Hurry up and thank him!”

Everyone seemed to believe that this was a great opportunity for Ethan Smith, but Ethan just sat there, sneering repeatedly.

For these people, the existence of Inner Strength Masters was something far out of reach. But for Ethan Smith, it wasn’t even considered a starting point.

Moreover, Ellis Mitchell was arrogant and annoying.

“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Ethan Smith tried to sound as polite as possible.

Ellis Mitchell was taken aback, and he couldn’t quite believe what he had just heard. The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v(e)l--B1n.

“Ethan, are you crazy? Being able to learn from Mr. Mitchell is definitely a great opportunity for you!” Caesar Nolan said with some agitation.

Ethan Smith looked at him and said indifferently, “Inner Strength Masters don’t mean much to me.”

Hearing Ethan’s words, the room fell silent.

Ellis Mitchell, on the other hand, said with a hint of displeasure, “Young man, don’t be too proud. Do you know how many people are stuck at the peak of inner strength and unable to advance further?”

Ethan Smith looked at Ellis Mitchell and said, “It’s true that I’m already thirty years old, but I’ve only been practicing for less than a month.”

“As for Inner Strength Masters, they aren’t worth a dime in my eyes!”

Though Ethan’s voice was not loud, it was deafening like thunder on a clear day!

“You must be bragging.” Ellis Mitchell couldn’t help but scoff.

“I have practiced martial arts for half my life, and I’m only at the peak of Inner Strength Mastery. You can only be a beginner at most after a month.” Ellis Mitchell clearly didn’t believe Ethan’s words.

Ethan didn’t bother to explain further to Ellis Mitchell. He stood up and said, “Mr. Nolan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

After saying this, Ethan Smith turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Caesar Nolan quickly followed him and said politely, “Ethan, don’t take it too personally. Mr. Mitchell is, after all, very experienced and respected by everyone. Besides, he really is quite capable.”

“I know, no need to say more.” Ethan Smith nodded.

After that, Ethan didn’t pay any more attention to Caesar Nolan and left. To Ethan Smith, there was no point in wasting words with these people.

Right now, the most important thing was the Water Dragon Cave.

If there really was something hidden in the Water Dragon Cave, Ethan was confident that he could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After Ethan left, Caesar Nolan returned to the dining table.

The entire room was filled with people criticizing and cursing Ethan Smith.

“Mr. Nolan, this Ethan Smith is really too arrogant.” someone said.

Caesar Nolan waved his hand and said, “Ethan has the backing of the Taylor family, so he does have the capital to be arrogant.”

“Hmph, how many wealthy young masters have fallen halfway? With his kind of personality, he’s bound to have an accident sooner or later. Just wait and see.” Ellis Mitchell snorted coldly.

Caesar Nolan smiled and didn’t say anything more.

But he didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

After pondering for a while, Caesar Nolan called over an underling.

“Go to my office and take the watch to Ethan Smith. Express my apologies as well.” Caesar Nolan ordered.

“Yes.” The underling nodded and left quickly.

After leaving, Ethan Smith returned to his hotel first.

At the hotel, Edward Green had already woken up and was worriedly looking out of the window.

Only when Ethan returned did Edward Green let out a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Smith, is everything all right?” Edward Green asked with some anxiety. Ethan Smith waved the herbs and contract in his hand and said, “What do you think?”

“Wow, Mr. Smith, you’re amazing!” Edward Green couldn’t help but give Ethan a thumbs up.

“You’re probably the number one person in South City to make the Lane family suffer a loss by yourself!”

Ethan Smith was also feeling quite proud.

He couldn’t help but think that if Emily Taylor knew about this, she would definitely be happy for him, right?

“Pack up, let’s go,” Ethan said to Edward Green. Edward Green hurriedly asked, “Where to?”

“Water Dragon Cave.” Ethan replied.

The mystery of the Water Dragon Cave intrigued Ethan, and he couldn’t wait to find out more about it.

The two of them pushed the door open and were about to leave.

But they found a young man in a suit standing at the door.

“Mr. Smith, I was sent by Mr. Nolan.” The young man said politely.

“Caesar Nolan?” Ethan frowned.

“What’s the matter?”

The young man quickly handed a gift box to Ethan Smith, saying, “This is a gift from Mr. Nolan to express his apology. He is busy and can’t come personally, so he asked me to do it on his behalf.”

Ethan Smith opened the gift box and took out the watch inside.

The watch was exquisite, and it was obviously very expensive.

“Okay, go back and thank Mr. Nolan for me.” Ethan Smith nodded.

After sending the young man away, Ethan Smith and Edward Green left together.

Soon, Ethan Smith and Edward Green arrived at the Water Dragon Cave.

At this time, countless tourists were soaking in the hot springs, looking extremely satisfied.

“Mr. Smith, should I notify the staff to clear the area?” Edward Green asked.

Ethan Smith scanned the area and said, “No need, I’m not Asher Lane, the prodigal son.”

Many of the tourists had come from far away places, and it would be cruel to force them to leave.

Afterward, Ethan Smith walked to the edge of the Water Dragon Cave.

He took a deep breath and jumped directly into the cave.

The hot spring here was shallow, but deeper inside it, the water was very deep.

Ethan dived straight toward the deep waters, releasing his breath and trying to find something hidden within the Water Dragon Cave.

However, after spending an entire hour searching the entire cave, Ethan came up empty-handed.

What surprised him even more was that the concentration of qi in every part of the Water Dragon Cave was almost identical.

This made Ethan a bit puzzled because if there was something hidden beneath the water, the concentration of qi would definitely vary. “That’s strange.” Ethan emerged from the water, puzzled.

He sat at the edge of the pool, lost in thought.

Watching the people bathing in the water, Ethan suddenly slapped his head, his eyes lighting up!

“I got it!” Ethan exclaimed excitedly, standing up!
