Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 1851 - Chapter 1851 Chapter 1851 Then Make It the Target_1

Chapter 1851: Chapter 1851: Then Make It the Target!_1 Chapter 1851: Chapter 1851: Then Make It the Target!_1 At this moment, Ethan Smith had already returned to Demon-slaying Peak.

He sat in Frederick Cohen’s cave abode, seemingly thinking about a strategy.

“Those guys are just a bunch of stubborn old fools. There’s no way they would help,” grumbled Frederick Cohen.

“Brother, if it really doesn’t work, let’s just go by ourselves. What are we afraid of?” Frederick Cohen patted Ethan Smith on the shoulder, speaking with righteous indignation.

Ethan Smith said solemnly, “No, we can’t move until we have a foolproof plan.”

“Then what do we do?” Frederick Cohen frowned.

Ethan Smith’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Demon-slaying Peak can’t be used for personal vendettas, only for the removal of evildoers. We can make use of Demon-slaying Peak’s rules to have them act.”

Scratching his head, Frederick Cohen asked with confusion, “What do you mean?”

Ethan Smith looked at Frederick Cohen and coldly said, “Since we can’t use it for personal vendettas, we’ll just turn the Tenny Family into evildoers!”

“Turn them into evildoers?!” As if understanding the idea, Frederick Cohen’s eyes lit up, “You’re quite cunning!”

Ethan Smith coldly said, “It’s just a desperate move on my part. I can only rely on the power of the Demon-slaying Peak.”

With that thought in mind, Ethan Smith turned to Frederick Cohen and said, “Frederick Cohen, please go find the peak master and tell him Ethan Smith invites him and Ninth Cloud to come over as our guests for drinks.”

Frederick Cohen stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll go now.”

Once Frederick left, Ethan Smith, following Salena Carpenter’s example, went into the woods to catch a few wild animals and began roasting them in Frederick’s cave abode.

After all, Ethan Smith was an alchemist, and his control over the fire was far superior to Salena’s.

It didn’t take long for the savory smell of meat to fill the entire cave abode.

Soon, Ninth Cloud and the peak master arrived at the cave abode under Frederick’s invitation.

As soon as he entered, the peak master sniffed and cheerfully said, “What a delicious smell! You sure know how to enjoy life!”

Ethan Smith got up, greeted the peak master, and bowed, “Greetings, Peak Master.”

The peak master patted Ethan on the shoulder and eagerly sat down. He tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Mmm, not bad, not bad. The taste is really good!” The peak master excitedly spoke as he continued to stuff meat into his mouth.

Ethan laughed, “I learned this from Salena.”

Mentioning Salena caused the atmosphere to become somewhat somber.

At this point, Ninth Cloud from the side said, “There must be a reason why you invited us.”

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment before nodding, “Yes, there is something.”

“Is it about Salena?” Ninth Cloud tentatively asked.

Ethan Smith didn’t hide it and nodded, “That’s right.”

The peak master, who was eating, immediately stopped when he heard this.

With a serious face, he said, “Ethan Smith, you’re not thinking of asking us to help rescue her, right? If so, I’ll spit this out right now.”

Hearing the peak master’s words, Frederick Cohen was extremely displeased and said, “Damn it, so weak. What are you so afraid of?”

The peak master knew Frederick’s temper, so he didn’t argue. Instead, he solemnly said, “These are Demon-slaying Peak’s rules. Since we’re in Demon-slaying Peak, we should follow the rules.”

“Aren’t rules set by people? What’s the big deal if we break a rule once?” Frederick angrily said.

“You’re right, but this rule was set by the dean. If you really don’t accept it, go find the dean. If he agrees, we promise that without any hesitation, we’ll go save her immediately!” The peak master also spoke with displeasure.

Just as Frederick was about to retort, Ethan Smith’s sharp rebuke stopped him.

He looked at the peak master and said solemnly, “Peak Master, I naturally won’t violate Demon-slaying Peak’s rules, nor will I make things difficult for you. Today, I merely want to ask one question.”

After hearing Ethan Smith’s words, the peak master finally calmed down a bit.

He grunted in acknowledgment and said, “Ask whatever you want.”

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and asked, “What does Demon-slaying Peak consider as an evildoer? And how can someone become a target of Demon-slaying Peak?”

“It’s simple: indiscriminate slaughter of living beings counts, but this standard is extremely strict. Even the Denton Horton of the North Plain wouldn’t count,” said the peak master.

Ninth Cloud, who was nearby, seemed to have guessed at Ethan Smith’s intentions.

He turned to face Ethan Smith and asked, “Do you want to make the Tenny Family a target of Demon-slaying Peak?”

“Precisely.” Ethan Smith didn’t hide his intentions.

“So in this way, Demon-slaying Peak can take action against the Tenny Family.”

The peak master hesitated for a moment, then slapped his head, saying, “This is indeed a good method, but it might not be easy to carry out.”

Ethan Smith said coldly, “That’s why I want to know Demon-slaying Peak’s criteria for evildoers.”

As he said this, it seemed that Ethan Smith suddenly thought of something.

He looked at the peak master and asked, “Would devouring primordial spirits count?”

“Devouring primordial spirits… It depends. Didn’t Denton Horton rely on devouring primordial spirits for his cultivation? He didn’t become a target of Demon-slaying Peak,” the peak master said.

From the side, Ninth Cloud spoke coldly, “Your idea is good, but it’s not ethical.”

“I don’t care about that anymore. To save Salena, I can do anything,” Ethan Smith coldly responded.

Ninth Cloud spoke solemnly, “I understand that you’re desperate to save her, but trying to turn the Tenny Family into Demon-slaying Peak’s target in such a short time is not realistic. Generally, Demon-slaying Peak’s evaluation process takes a very long time, and the Tenny Family isn’t even within the consideration range.”

Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed. If what Ninth Cloud said was true, then this idea was indeed unrealistic.

“What if… the evildoers that have been marked as targets accuse the Tenny Family?” Ethan Smith looked up and asked.

Hearing this, Ninth Cloud and the peak master exchanged looks, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

“This situation… has never happened before,” the peak master frowned.

“It means it’s doable,” Ethan Smith said coldly.

He looked at Ninth Cloud and the peak master, saying, “As long as there are no clear prohibitions, then it means there’s a chance of success, right?”

The peak master frowned, “In theory, that’s correct, but it seems like we’re exploiting a loophole.”

“That’s what I’m doing in the first place,” Ethan Smith admitted bluntly.

“Anyway, I’ll follow Demon-slaying Peak’s rules in handling this matter. That wouldn’t be making things difficult for you, would it?” Ethan Smith looked at the peak master and said.

The peak master spoke solemnly, “I need to think about this.”

“No matter what your final answer is, I will proceed with this plan.” Ethan Smith’s tone turned icy cold, and his eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness.

For a moment, the peak master didn’t know what to do.

Ninth Cloud calmly said from the side, “Ethan Smith is right. As long as we don’t violate the rules, it’s feasible.”

“Salena was also a member of our Demon-slaying Peak. I think there’s nothing wrong with trying this.”

Upon hearing Ninth Cloud’s words, the peak master couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

He looked at Ethan Smith and sighed, “I’ll try my best to help you.”
