Mrs. and Mr. Smith-Chapter 944 - : The Secret in the Spatial Magic Artifact

Chapter 944: Chapter 944: The Secret in the Spatial Magic Artifact

The mustached man shrank his neck and muttered, “Alright, enough with the nonsense. I have to hurry and run away now.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ethan Smith returned to the Mystic Realm first, informed Spike Schneider of the situation, and asked him to leave temporarily.

After finishing all this, Ethan began to consider his next move.

He sat near the Mystic Realm for a long time, thinking back and forth, and then decided to stop by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets for now to inquire about the secrets within the Spatial Magic Artifact.

So, Ethan put on his hat and headed straight for Capital City.

Arriving in Capital City, Ethan went straight to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Inside the Pavilion, everything was as usual. Ethan went straight through the Great Hall and hurried to the villa behind the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

In the villa, Hanley Poe was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. When Ethan came in, Hanley couldn’t help but shudder in fear.

“Et… Ethan Smith?” Hanley gulped and asked.

Ethan took off his hat and threw it aside, saying, “Where’s your father?”

Hanley said, “He’s in the artifact refining room. I… I’ll go get him now.”

Ethan nodded, poured himself a cup of tea, and waved his hand, “Let him hurry back, I have something I need to talk to him about.”

“Alright,” Hanley agreed and hurriedly exited the living room.

At this point, Ethan didn’t know that danger was approaching.

He sipped his tea slowly, quietly waiting for Mallory Poe.

After leaving the villa, Hanley immediately took out his phone and called Marc Fraley.

As soon as the call was connected, Hanley anxiously said, “Young Master Fraley, Ethan Smith is here! He’s at the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets right now!”

Marc, on the other end, abruptly sat up in shock.

“Are you sure?” Marc asked coldly.

“Yes! I swear he’s at the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets! Hurry up, or he’ll leave soon,” Hanley urged.

Marc narrowed his eyes and said, “Find a way to stall him. I’ll be there soon.”

After saying that, Marc hurriedly looked at Channing and said, “Quick, fetch Star for me.”

“Yes, Young Master Fraley,” Channing didn’t dare to say more and quickly went out.

For the past few days, Star had been holed up in his room, drinking and rarely stepping out.

He didn’t like Obadiah Heptinstall and disliked Marc’s way of doing things even more.

But the loyal Star couldn’t bring himself to disobey Marc’s orders, so he simply hid in his room, out of sight and out of mind.

A few minutes later, at Channing’s summons, Star appeared before Marc.

“Young Master Fraley, what can I do for you?” Star asked expressionlessly.

Marc coldly said, “Follow me to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets immediately. Ethan Smith is there.”

“Ethan Smith?” Star’s face didn’t show much emotion.

Marc glanced at Star and said coldly, “Uncle Star, you seem very unwilling.”

“No,” Star replied without any expression.

“No?” Marc’s expression became even more displeased.

Star couldn’t help but lose his patience. He took a deep breath and said, “In my opinion, it’s Obadiah Heptinstall who’s committing countless evils, not Ethan Smith.”

“Countless evils?” Marc sneered.

“Uncle Star, you’re getting on in years, yet you’re still so naive.”

“What do you mean by countless evils? What is evil and what is good? Good and evil are just rules set by us!”

“If I say someone is evil, then they are!”

Hearing Marc’s words, Star’s face grew increasingly ugly.

“Alright, enough talking. Get everyone together and follow me,” Marc said coldly.

Star opened his mouth but didn’t say anything more.

…

At the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets:

Mallory Poe hurried into the villa.

He didn’t know anything about Hanley’s actions, so he was unaware that Marc was on his way there.

As he entered, Mallory wiped away his sweat and quickly walked toward Ethan.

“Mr. Smith, what’s the urgent matter?” Mallory asked.

Ethan said solemnly, “Pavilion Master Poe, I’ve come to you this time for the matter of the Spatial Magic Artifact.”

Mentioning the Spatial Magic Artifact, Mallory’s face darkened a bit.

Ethan thought for a moment, took out another Spatial Magic Artifact, and then handed over several hundred spiritual stones to Mallory.

“This… These are spiritual stones?!” Mallory exclaimed, staring wide-eyed.

Ethan nodded and said, “Spiritual stones are top-notch materials for artifact refining. Consider these as compensation.”

Mallory took the spiritual stones, holding them tightly in his hand with excitement, and whispered, “They really are spiritual stones…”

At this point, it seemed as if Mallory remembered something. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Smith, did you steal the spiritual stones a while ago?”

“Yes,” Ethan admitted without hiding anything.

“All I have now are these. I hope you can tell me the truth about the Spatial Magic Artifact,” Ethan said.

Mallory sat across from Ethan, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Alright, I promise.”

Ethan said, “A strand of my divine sense entered the Spatial Magic Artifact and discovered a faint light within.”

“To be frank, the spiritual stones I had were swallowed up by that light inexplicably.”

“You went inside?” Mallory was even more amazed when he heard this.

Ethan nodded and said, “Normally, that faint light should be divine sense.”

Mallory pondered for a moment and said, “That’s right, the thing hidden inside is indeed divine sense.”

“In fact, that’s not a Spatial Magic Artifact, but a prison. What’s imprisoned inside is that strand of divine sense,” Mallory explained.

Ethan frowned in surprise, “A prison?”

“Yes,” Mallory nodded.

“That strand of divine sense is unparalleled in power, and this Spatial Magic Artifact is its prison.”

Ethan thought for a moment and said, “So how can that divine sense be released?”

Mallory bitterly smiled, “You shouldn’t ask me that. You might be better off asking the divine sense itself.”

“But I must remind you, since it’s an imprisoned divine sense, it certainly isn’t a kind-hearted being. What will happen after it’s released is unknown to anyone.”

Ethan seemed to understand.

This strand of divine sense might be imprisoned in the Spatial Magic Artifact just like Obadiah Heptinstall.

“Where did you get this?” Ethan asked.

Mallory said, “I obtained it by chance, and exchanged it for another magical artifact.”

Ethan nodded, “So you don’t know its origin?”

“That’s right,” Mallory agreed.

Ethan said solemnly, “I understand. Thank you.”

After saying that, Ethan stood up and prepared to leave.

“Mr. Smith, are… are you leaving already?” At that moment, Hanley rushed in.
