Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Lovers Meet
Emerson Holmes lead Ethan Smith, heading deeper in.
The corridor was long, and Emerson Holmes’ legs left streaks of blood on the floor.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a massive door.
The door seemed to require a secret technique to open, and as the Vice President, Emerson Holmes naturally had the authority.
He stood at the door, lifted his palm, and slowly placed it on the door.
Then, a glow flickered from his hand, and in a moment, the door gently swung open.
Ethan Smith grabbed Emerson Holmes’ hand, his voice cold, “How did you open this door? Tell me.”
Emerson Holmes said coldly, “Ethan Smith, you’d better not try anything with this door.”
“Even if you took my hand, it would be useless. As soon as I die, the secret technique on my hand will vanish.”
Ethan Smith’s brow furrowed slightly.
This damn Emerson Holmes had figured out his intentions.
Ethan Smith didn’t say anything more, instead kicking Emerson Holmes, who immediately stumbled into the prison.
Just as he stepped into the prison, Ethan Smith felt a surge of powerful presences!
At a glance, there were Grandmasters, half-step Martial Marquises, and even a large number of beings at the Military Marquis Realm in the prison!
“You see, even Martial Marquises can be captured by the Capital City Martial Arts Association.” Emerson Holmes threatened as he spoke.
At his words, Ethan Smith immediately slapped him across the mouth.
A loud “pa” sound echoed through the entire prison!
Emerson Holmes’ mouth was immediately bloody, and he couldn’t speak anymore.
“You talk too much,” Ethan Smith said coldly.
Emerson Holmes was extremely outraged but he was helpless.
“Good hit!” came the excited shouts from the prison.
“Emerson Holmes, didn’t expect you’d see this day, hahaha!”
“Brave one, just kill him like this!”
Emerson Holmes was furious, a look of rage in his eyes!
Then, he saw Emerson Holmes turn his palm over and a token appeared in his hand!
Emerson Holmes raised the token, and with a swirling light in his palm, a moment later, the prison was filled with a stern and majestic light!
“Ah!!!”
Immediately afterward, a wave of cries filled the entire prison!
People fell to their knees, in unbearable pain, including a few Martial Marquises!
Ethan Smith’s face slightly changed.
The Capital City Martial Arts Association was indeed no simple organization, just a single token was able to make a Martial Marquis unable to stand.
Exactly how much hidden strength this association had, was unimaginable!
Emerson Holmes snorted coldly and he continued to lead Ethan Smith forward.
All along the way, numerous people were hurling abuses at Emerson Holmes, but he had no mind to pay attention to them anymore.
He had an inexplicable worry at the bottom of his heart.
This prison was a critical location of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and now a foreigner had barged in.
If the higher-ups found out, he would definitely be severely punished!
“You see that door ahead?” Emerson Holmes pointed at a large black gate not too far off.
“Just spit it out,” Ethan Smith coldly said.
Emerson Holmes grinned, “What is locked in there, surpasses a Martial Marquis.”
“A being surpassing a Martial Marquis?” Ethan Smith’s face slightly changed.
Could it be that a Martial Saint was imprisoned behind that large door?
The Capital City Martial Arts Association could even imprison a Martial Saint?!
“Stop bluffing, you think I would believe that?” Ethan Smith quickly dismissed his own thoughts.
“Ignorant.” Emerson Holmes scoffed coldly.
Ethan Smith, restless at heart, glanced at Emerson and asked, “How much longer?”
“Don’t be in a hurry, Emily Taylor is the Miss of the Taylor family. Naturally, we need to arrange a unique cell for her,” Emerson said, his lips curling into a seemingly sarcastic smile.
Ethan Smith remained silent, but anger was bubbling more and more within him.
He couldn’t begin to imagine the hardships and tortures young Emily Taylor, born into an aristocratic family, would have to endure.
Just thinking about it was unbearable for Ethan Smith.
“We’re here.”
Finally, they stopped in front of a prison cell.
The prison was covered by layers of iron doors, making it impossible to see what was inside from outside.
“Ethan Smith, didn’t you want to see Emily Taylor? Hehe… I hope you won’t regret it,” Emerson said with a hint of cruelty.
“Cut the crap!” Ethan Smith roared with rage.
Without further comment, Emerson Holmes raised his palm and placed it on the gate.
The gate slowly opened.
A massive iron cage came into Ethan Smith’s view!
And Emily Taylor was locked inside this very cage.
It was all as shown in the message video. Emily Taylor was bound by tube-shaped chains.
Her body hung mid-air, her face pale, her lips drained of color.
Her frail body trembled slightly— an unbearable sight for anyone.
“Emily!” Ethan Smith bellowed, his eyes wide and furious.
Emily Taylor slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she saw Ethan, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, and a difficult smile surfaced on her face.
“Ethan, why… why are you here…” Emily Taylor said weakly.
“Emily, I… you…” Ethan tried to speak, his heart full of intense anguish.
A tear slipped from his eye. Whether from rage or sorrow, Ethan’s whole body shivered uncontrollably!
“Don’t cry… Men should bleed, not cry…” Emily Taylor said weakly.
These words shattered Ethan’s defenses.
His tears flowed like a broken dam, unceasingly.
Subconsciously, Emily Taylor wanted to pat Ethan’s head, only to discover that her arms were bound.
“Emily, I… I’m going to save you right now!” Ethan said, somewhat frantic.
He raised his hand, a swirling light enveloping it, and all of his Qi Jin was adjusted to its extreme!
“Boom!”
Ethan struck the cage fiercely with his fist.
“Clang!”
The massive resonance almost ruptured eardrums, but the cage wouldn’t budge….
“Why is this happening…” Panic spread across Ethan’s face.
He turned around and roared, “Emerson, open the gate now!”
However, Emerson Holmes slowly disappeared.
“Ethan Smith, enjoy your intimate time. You can’t save her, you can’t save anyone…” Emerson’s sinister voice echoed from all directions.
Ethan reached out to grab him, but found he was fading away like a mirage.
“Emerson, fuck you!” Ethan roared with anger. His neck vein popped, and his eyes turned blood-red!
But Emerson was gone, just disappeared abruptly.
“Emily, I… I’m going to save you!” Ethan gritted his teeth. His body flashed with golden light, and the Divine Dragon Power burst forth at this moment.
“Emily, you can trust me. I… I will definitely save you!”
With a roar, Ethan Smith, putting forth all his strength, struck the iron cage once more!
