Anthony Hansen was quite pleased with himself that night, so he drank quite a bit.

Upon leaving, he staggered and stumbled, in high spirits.

He came to the underground parking garage alone, ready to drive home. But at that moment, he felt a chill creeping up his back.

Anthony subconsciously turned around, only to see a sinister old man sitting behind him.

Anthony was taken aback, trembling, and more than half of his drunkenness was gone!

The old man raised his hand and pressed it on Anthony’s shoulder, using a tremendous force that kept Anthony immobilized!

“Uncle… I’ll give you as much money as you want. Just don’t kill me…” Anthony was so scared that he nearly wet his pants.

The old man sinisterly stared at Anthony, then leaned his head closer.

A strong smell of bad breath suddenly assaulted Anthony’s nose.

Already drunk, Anthony nearly threw up on the spot.

“The girl, Clare Richardson… Our Earth Fiend Valley has taken an interest in her… You… cannot touch her…” said the old man ominously.

Anthony was stunned.

This old man was actually after Clare?

And what was this Earth Fiend Valley he was talking about?

“After your competition tomorrow, take her to somewhere secluded and hand her over to me…” whispered the old man beside Anthony’s ear.

Although Anthony craved Clare’s body, under such circumstances, he didn’t have the courage to refuse.

“Okay, okay, don’t worry. I will definitely do it!” Anthony hastily nodded.

Although he agreed verbally, Anthony couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. Just wait until I run away, then who the hell are you? I’ll just call the police and have you arrested!

As for Clare, she’s mine!

Apparently, the old man had guessed his thoughts.

The old man reached out a finger and a sinister skull appeared before Anthony’s eyes.

Seeing this, Anthony was so frightened that he almost fainted, and his pants became yellow with fear.

“You’d better do as I say, or else… I’ll make sure you wish you were dead!” the old man shouted ominously.

Scared out of his wits, Anthony covered his eyes and screamed, “I will, I will!”

After those words, there was no more movement in the backseat.

Summoning his courage, Anthony looked back.

The back seat was already empty.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Anthony said with lingering fear, “What the hell was that thing? It was terrifying…”

The next day.

Adonis Williams didn’t show himself, which gradually caused Ethan Smith to lower his guard.

However, he still didn’t lift his formation because facing a high-level opponent like Adonis, Ethan had to be cautious.

That day, Ethan went out with Edward Green to look around the herb market and buy some herbs to plant in White City.

As luck would have it, Ethan and Edward ran into Clare and Maya soon after they left.

“Clare? Where are you headed?” Ethan greeted Clare.

Clare said with some surprise, “What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you here!”

Maya, standing beside, stared at Ethan and said, “Some people are really not men at all.”

As she spoke, Maya’s eyes were fixed on Ethan. This made Ethan somewhat puzzled and he frowned, “Are you talking about

“Who else could I be talking about?” Maya huffed.

“Is it about Clare…?”

“Enough, don’t talk about it anymore.” Clare interrupted just as Maya was about to speak.

After that, Clare hurriedly greeted Ethan and then ran off with Maya.

Ethan was left in confusion, watching their retreating figures.”l don’t think I provoked her…” Ethan Smith scratched his head.

“Who can fathom the thoughts of a young girl?” Edward Green muttered.

After buying a sackful of herbs at the herbal market, it was dark by the time they returned home.

Ethan put those herbs aside and took out the Divine Medicine from his room.

“Since Adonis Williams isn’t coming anytime soon, I should consider closing myself off from the world,” Ethan thought to himself.

With the help of Divine Medicine, Ethan decided to try to break through to the Monastic Stage.

Once reaching the Monastic Stage, Ethan was confident that he wouldn’t fear any Grandmaster, even privileged aristocratic young men like Dexter Blair.

After careful consideration, Ethan decided to return to River City to close himself off.

Shiglance City was crowded and chaotic, which could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

As Ethan pondered, his phone suddenly rang.

Picking it up, he saw it was from an unknown number.

“Hello?” Ethan tentatively answered the phone.

The person on the other end scolded, “Ethan Smith, you’re not a man at all! Because of you, Clare Richardson offended Anthony Hansen, don’t you know?”

It sounded like Maya.

But her words left Ethan somewhat puzzled.

Wasn’t Maya the root cause?

“What do you mean?” Ethan frowned.

Maya gritted her teeth and said, “Anthony Hansen challenged you to a car race, but you didn’t agree. Clare decided to go up against him.”

“As a result, Anthony intentionally forced her off the track during the race, and Clare is now unconscious!” Maya said through clenched teeth.

“I’ll tell you, Clare agreed to obey whatever Anthony demanded if she lost the race. Anthony is a pervert, so you better think of something!”

Having said that, Maya hung up the phone.

Ethan frowned, and after some thought, he looked up the nearby racing tracks and then drove off in a hurry.

At this moment, at the racetrack.

Anthony was notorious for his dirty play on the track, and the drivers who raced against him usually wouldn’t come out unscathed.

Clare, with her lack of experience, was forced into a crash by Anthony.

In the car, Clare was unconscious and injured in several places.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take her to the hospital right away,” Anthony said with an air of righteousness.

“Anthony, if anything happens to Clare, I won’t let you off!” Maya said indignantly.

Anthony glanced at Maya and said mockingly, “Weren’t you calling me ‘Brother Anthony’ a few days ago?”

“Who knew you were such a despicable, shameless, vile person!” Maya cursed.

Anthony’s face darkened.

He looked at Maya with narrowed eyes, and a wave of agitation went through him:

Although Maya doesn’t compare to Clare in beauty, she’s definitely top-notch!

Moreover, as Maya’s background wasn’t as complicated as Clare’s, she would be an excellent choice to have some fun with…

“How did I not notice Maya before…” Anthony couldn’t help but gaze at her lewdly.

Maya stared back and said, “What are you dawdling for? Aren’t you going to hurry and take Clare to the hospital?”

Anthony thought for a moment and smirked, ‘Maya, why don’t you come with me to take Clare to the hospital? If I go alone, will you feel at ease?”

Upon hearing this, Maya frowned slightly.

After a moment of thought, she nodded, “I’ll go with you. If anything happens to Clare, I definitely won’t let you off!”

“Fine, no problem!” Anthony smirked inwardly.

Wait till we get to our destination, and I’ll make you suffer!

Then, Anthony carried Clare towards the car.

Seeing Clare’s two smooth slender legs, Anthony found it hard to look away, almost drooling.

But remembering the scene from the previous night, Anthony shivered and ultimately didn’t dare to make a move.

Anthony drove away from the racetrack and headed towards a remote mountain.

At this moment, on this mountain, an old man was waiting..
