Chapter 986 -986: In a Dilemma
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith asked quickly, “Do you know about the Taylor family?”
Drexel said lightly: “Based on your description, it could only be the long-standing Taylor family.”
Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Go on.”
Drexel cleared his throat and said, “The Taylor family is an ancient lineage. It is said that their full bloodline is incomparably powerful and was once considered one of the most potent bloodlines in the world.”
“As far as I know, if one’s bloodline reaches eighty percent, he is eligible to become the head of the Taylor family… hundred percent… I have never seen that.”
Furrowing his brows, Ethan Smith expressed concern.
“Eighty percent? So, Dominic Taylor…he seems to have eighty percent, but the Taylor family didn’t take him away.” Ethan said softly.
Drexel shrugged, “That only means he does not have a natural bloodline.”
“There’s a significant difference between a natural and an acquired one.”
“If it’s a natural bloodline of eighty percent, there’s a high chance of reaching the Tribulation Transcending Realm in the future. As for one hundred percent…just how powerful it could become, nobody knows.”
Speaking to this point, Drexel could not help but sigh, “Indeed, as I said, once the masked woman’s era comes, it will definitely be a great era. It really seems that this is indeed a golden era.”
Ethan Smith remained silent.
After listening to Drexel’s words, Ethan felt the tremendous pressure.
“So is the Taylor family very powerful?” Ethan continued to ask.
Drexel glanced at Ethan and asked, “A family that has reached the Tribulation Stage; what do you think?”
“I’ll put it this way, clans that have reached the Tribulation Stage are all considered top-tier aristocratic families, and their descendants would benefit.”
“The descendants with the Bloodline of a cultivator at Tribulation Stage will be very powerful.”
Ethan scratched his head, “But didn’t the Immortal Slaying Sect also reach the Tribulation Stage? What about their descendants?”
“Are you fucking kidding me? The Immortal Slaying Sect was annihilated. Where would any descendants come from?” Drexel almost could not hold back his words.
Ethan had a sudden realization and said awkwardly, “So that’s how it is…”
“Ethan, in such a prosperous era, there are often many geniuses, and all kinds of long-lost bloodlines will appear. You need to be careful.” Drexel yawned.
Ethan replied with a hum, his eyes flashed with a hint of determination.
Although he felt the pressure was rather great, he didn’t shrink back; instead, it stimulated his fighting spirit.
The more prosperous the era, the more exciting it is!
Without any further words, Ethan went to bed.
The next day.
As soon as Ethan woke up, he heard some noise from downstairs.
As he looked out the window, he saw two bodies thrown in front of the door.
The death of these two bodies was the same as the previous few, their bodies virtually withered.
Next to these two bodies, in addition to the crowd of onlookers, there was also a figure in a purple robe from the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
“The Capital City Martial Arts Association has finally sent someone.” Ethan rubbed his chin and squinted.
Downstairs, the purple-robed figure was speaking loudly, thumping his chest and saying, “Rest assured, the Capital City Martial Arts Association will definitely bring an explanation to this incident!”
“Mr. Fraley has already spoken, give us three days, we must catch the perpetrator!”
Ethan, observing from the floor above, couldn’t help but sneer silently.
“Looks like they are trying to put up a show.” Ethan muttered softly.
Indeed, as expected, when Ethan and the man with the mustache went to the Hundred Spirits Meeting in the afternoon, people’s gaze towards them began to feel a bit strange.
Their eyes flickered, some even deliberately kept their distance from Ethan.
“Damn, they believe that?” The man with the mustache couldn’t help but curse.
Ethan smirked, “Like I said, if a lie is repeated a thousand times, it becomes truth.”
“Moreover, don’t forget, the mainstream media of martial arts is still controlled by the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”
The man with the moustache frowned and asked, “So, what do we do?”
Ethan sighed lightly and shook his head, “We’re stuck, we’ve got no other options.”
Right now, everyone is just suspecting in secret. Ethan can’t just come forward and say it wasn’t him, can he?
Wouldn’t that be like pleading guilty?
“Just ignore them.” Ethan shook his head.
On this day, Ethan could clearly feel the shift in the crowd around him.
Based on Ethan’s estimates, at least thirty percent of the population now suspects him.
Later that night, Marc Fraley couldn’t help laughing aloud.
“See? These people are nothing but fair-weather friends. Today’s hero might become the villain despised by everyone tomorrow!” Marc sneered.
When it comes to human nature, he knows it all too well.
“Master Fraley, shall we release a statement now?” Channing asked.
“No!” Marc shook his head.
“To make something seem very real, we shouldn’t be directly involved. Instead, we should guide people by influencing their speculations about Ethan!” Marc sneered.
Channing heard this and couldn’t help giving Marc a thumbs-up.
“Mr. Fraley, I didn’t expect you to have such a skill! You are truly a born leader!” Channing complimented.
Marc also seemed quite proud as he said, “To deal with these people, a little finesse is all I need.”
“Ethan will soon understand that there’s more than one way to kill someone!”
Another day passed.
The attitude of the people around Ethan changed again, and more and more people began to fear him.
Meanwhile, Marc sent out people to spread some seemingly logical “analysis” in the crowd, trying to redirect their suspicions towards Ethan.
Three days later, people started avoiding Ethan completely.
Wherever Ethan appeared, there would definitely be people talking in hushed whispers.
Ethan couldn’t be bothered, he and the man with the mustache entered a house. Casually picking up a fan, Ethan asked, “Boss, how much is this?”
The owner’s face changed, he hurriedly said, “I…I am not selling.”
The man with the mustache said displeased, “Why? Don’t tell me you’re not accepting money?”
The shop owner, scared, didn’t say a word, his face turned even paler.
Ethan waved his hand and said, “Never mind.”
After walking out of this shop, the man with the mustache couldn’t help but say, “Damn, these people are too mean. Just a few days ago they were calling you a hero, and now their attitudes have changed like this.”

Ethan smiled bitterly, “Someone is stirring things up, I can’t blame them.”
From the shadows, someone was looking at Ethan’s retreating figure and could not help but sneer.
“Mr. Wright, do you have any thoughts?” Next to him, a Martial Saint asked.
Tyler Wright sneered, “Others may not see through Marc’s methods, but I can see them very clearly! If that’s the case, I’ll give him a hand!”
With that, he looked at the shop and said coldly, “When the time comes, kill the owner of this shop!”
