Chapter 155 A Cold-Blooded Plot
Nightfall at the Wilson family mansion in Pine Bluff.
It was hard to imagine that there would be such a prominent family as the Wilson family in an economically undeveloped region like Pine Bluff.
What was even more surprising was the Wilson family mansion was located in a rugged mountain hollow near Pine Bluff's suburbs.
Most of the surrounding mountains and forests were owned by the Wilson family. It was publicly declared as a wildlife conservation base where outsiders were not allowed to approach. In reality, it was where the core members of the Wilson family, including several elders from the Council of Elders, resided.
At night, the mountains were brightly lit, and the quaint and elegant buildings showcase the Wilson family's historical heritage and formidable strength.
"What did you say? That little bastard actually cured Remington's condition?"
That evening, Tang Brady’sface turned awful after he received news from St. Benedict's Priory .
"That's right. It is said that the Harris family personally invited Ethan to the mountain!"
The black-clad man, who reported the news, added.
"When did this little bastard become so capable? Have you found out how Ethan treated Remington?"
Tang Brady asked with a stern face.
"Our people can't enter St. Benedict's Priory. If we get too close, not only Ethan but even Francis, the bull-headed guy, will notice. Remington has a special status. The Wilson family will be at a disadvantage if there's any misunderstanding!" The black-clad man explained helplessly.
"What has Beverly been up to lately?" Tang Brady asked, changing the topic.
"She has been taking care of the business of the Cloud Group and is doing a great job of keeping it running smoothly. Though it pains me to admit it, Ethan's vision and success in business are unmatched by few young people. It's impressive that Beverly is able to maintain the Cloud Group as it is now," reported the man in black, not sparing his admiration for Ethan.
"I am well aware of his business talent. It's just a shame I can't utilize it for myself! I refuse to believe the Wilson family, with their size, cannot produce someone who can surpass Ethan," Tang Brady said through gritted teeth. Clearly, te matter was a sore spot for him.
"Great Elder, it's time to make a decision. We must decide whether to remove or spare Ethan. If we wait until he becomes more influential and successfully brings the Harris family and the Walker family together, it will be increasingly difficult for us to take action,"warned the man in black solemnly.
"Then let's nip the threat in the bud. We have confronted Ethan, and the brat cannot be allowed to stay! As for Beverly, let Tang Twelve handle it. Additionally, you should personally pay a visit. I hope there will be no mistakes this time!" Tang Brady's narrowed his eyes, showing a strong killing intent.
After leaving St. Benedict's Priory, Ethan went straight to his villa, separating from grandfather and grandson from the Harris family.
He had to seize the time to thoroughly study the book ZF Knack and completely master the usage of the Yin-Yang Beads.
"It's fortunate that the activation mantra for the Yin-Yang Beads has been translated. No wonder the Sun Bead has no reaction to me at all. It can only respond to people with the yang attribute. My cheap senior must be using a yang attribute cultivation method."
After studying the translated mantra that Francis gave him, Ethan finally understood the peculiarities.
To activate both beads at the same time, one had to have both Yin and Yang attributes powered up. If there was only Yin attribute superpower, the Sun Bead would not react at all.
ZF knack was a practice that involved the harmonization of Yin and Yang, and Ethan, being naturally cold-tempered, experienced an imbalance during his cultivation, where Yin overpowered Yang. If this Yin-Yang imbalance became severe, it could lead to a situation where he lost control and became possessed.
"No wonder he gave me the Sun Bead. Although this bead is currently unable to be activated, it can suppress the coldness in my body and prevent Yin overpowering Yang!" Ethanrealized the secret after a night of intense study.
Following the initial cultivation method described in ZF knack, Ethan attempted it several times. Whenever the warm flow he generated was about to be submerged by the cold flow, the Sun Bead in his palm would suddenly emit a warm aura, resisting the engulfment of the cold flow. This phenomenon caused two contrasting energies, one cold and one hot, to merge and enter his dantian, giving Ethan a profound sense of power.
The combined power of the cold and hot energies was completely different from Ethan's previous icy aura. Even though he could only feel a pure aura in his dantian, it filled his entire body with a sense of strength, unlike anything he had experienced before.
"So, the Moon Bead is essentially a storage device that releases healing energy to repair the body's functions when I treat others. At the same time, it converts external energy from plants and stores it back into the bead. That's why many plants wither and die!" Ethan Wilson also understood the working principle of the Moon Bead for healing.
However, this phenomenon could be completely changed through the practice of ZF knack. It was only because Ethan's own superpowers were insufficient that he had to rely on the energy stored in the bead. As long as Ethan's superpowers were abundant, the energy in the bead could act as a power bank, providing him with the necessary energy only when he needed it.
While the Moon Bead absorbed spiritual energy from plants, the Sun Bead absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. From the perspective alone, the Sun Bead seemed even more impressive than the Moon Bead.
"After practicing only for one night, I've only cultivated such a meager amount of superpowers. I wonder if I can activate the Sun Bead?" Ethan looked at the Sun Bead in his palm and began to recite the activation mantra, starting his experiment.
When Ethan transmitted the tiny strands of superpower into the Sun Bead, it indeed reacted differently. Its usual texture immediately transformed into a solid and hot iron ball, giving Ethan Wilson a sensation of burning his hand.
Luckily, that feeling only lasted for a moment. Immediately, the Sun Bead suspended itself in Ethan's hand and began to spin slowly.
However, this situation only lasted for a few breaths before the Sun Bead seemed to lose support all of a sudden and fell back into Ethan's hand, returning to its original lifeless state.
"It seems that the problem is still a lack of super energy. I need to practice more diligently!" Ethan shook his head and sighed.
Ethan didn't feel tired at all although he had been practicing the ZF knack all night . On the contrary, he felt energetic.
Glancing at the time and realizing it was almost noon, Ethan drove straight to the Harris family mansion.
Ethan had agreed to have lunch with Sarah the next day when they bid farewell yesterday.
"Ethan, when are you and Sarah going to get engaged?" Clarence seemed to be in a good mood and casually asked during their meal.
Sarah's face immediately turned red, and she looked eagerly at Ethan.
Ethan was stunned by this sudden proposal. He hadn't even thought about the issue, and why was Clarence suddenly so anxious about their engagement?
Ethan instantly understood as soon as he saw Sarah's blushing face,. His relationship with Sarah in Baytown had been discovered by Clarence!
Ethan's mind conjured up an image of Chloe for some reason as soon as engagement was mentioned, and he inexplicably felt resistance in his heart.
"Grandfather, we are still young. Why rush things?" Unexpectedly, it was Sarah who spoke up first, deflecting the question for Ethan.
