Chapter 31: True Madness!

"So those guys who were driving over here with trucks of ammunition were the Red Viper Gang?"

"If that was them, then I indeed took them out."

Speaking of the Red Viper Gang, it wasn’t long ago that he had met them.

According to the information his grandpa sent him, a drug trade between the two sides was about to take place.

In that case, instead of confronting both gangs at once, Ethan decided to take them out first.

Using this opportunity, he successfully showed his strength to the mercenary team, further increasing their loyalty.

Now, apart from the few he had told to wait on standby, the rest were helping him transport the ammunition they brought to the Smith family.

’Unfortunately, because the mercenaries didn’t have time to act, I neither awakened any new skills nor abilities.’

Sighing with some regret, Ethan stared at the Clown King in front of him.

Despite witnessing his strength which had transcended the category of ordinary, the gang leader still remained calm.

You must know that after killing twenty people with his bare hands, the Red Viper Gang members all lost their wits and tried to escape.

However, the gang leader in front of him, not only did he not want to run away, but he also dared to offer a calm discussion.

’Is this what they call madness to the point of calm?’

’Fortunately, he hasn’t awakened his ability yet; otherwise tonight wouldn’t have been so easy.’

Looking at him now, Ethan felt more and more uneasy about this person who was the Clown King.

No matter what, he had to kill him tonight!

"Now now, no need for the killing intent; we’re playing a game together, aren’t we?"

"Don’t worry, when I’m done you can kill me with ease."

"After all, we all die someday; what’s the difference between going now and a bit later?"

Still as calm as ever, the Clown King took out a lighter and a cigarette from his pocket and took a puff.

"Well then, now that you’ve answered my question, I guess it’s your turn to ask!"

"I wonder what you’ll ask, haha," he laughed.

"..."

Silence.....

Staring once more at the person in front of him, Ethan wondered if he should go ahead with this game.

If anything went wrong and the person in front of him escaped, he didn’t know what to do.

The consequences would be disastrous.

However, there was still some information he needed from him, such as the location of the Reinhardt family in the city.

Places where they kept their ammunition and supplies.

Ledgers and other information on the Reinhardt family.

At this moment, Ethan wished he had mind control abilities.

"Alright then, I’ll ask you my question."

"Clown King, although you’re known as the emperor of the underworld, the lord of madness, and the Devil’s agent on earth..."

"Heck, even children when they hear of the Clown Gang start crying when they hear your name."

"However, anyone with a bit of influence knows that you’re nothing more than a dog for the Reinhardt family," he paused.

"As someone talking to you like this, buried in those eyes of yours, I see endless ambition, an unwillingness to serve under anyone."

"With such eyes, why do you helplessly follow the Reinhardts?"

Yes, in order to get the information he needed, Ethan decided to try and turn him against his master.

But to Ethan’s surprise, even upon hearing all his praise, the Clown King remained calm.

"Oh... so that’s it."

"In this case, then everything makes sense."

"Although boring, a conclusion is a conclusion."

"Might as well start the closing fireworks."

Patting his shirt calmly, the Clown King’s actions left Ethan confused.

He couldn’t understand what he was talking about.

However, before he could react, the next set of words he heard instantly made his face change.

"Sudden strength, daring to confront me alone..."

"Easily wiping out the Viper Gang..."

"Looking at you now, at first I was wondering what sort of superhuman suddenly came and wanted to destroy my territory."

"However, if you’re from the Smiths it makes sense."

"Trying to set me up against the Reinharts... indeed a Smith."

Smirking slightly, he spun his cane in his hand.

"But then again, none of that matters; even if you aren’t one, none of that makes a change."

"Because you see, you’re not the only one special."

Bang!

Hitting his cane on the ground, the surrounding space began to change.

"This is-!"

In Ethan’s shocked eyes, huge amounts of mana began to gather from all directions.

The once abandoned warehouse with leaky roofs, broken windows, and dead bodies littered about had changed.

In less than a second, where he stood had turned into a giant stage with lights shining on the center.

Giant rows of seats appeared, and both the remaining mercenaries he brought and the remaining gang members were all seated, watching him and the Clown King on stage.

"Mysterious Smith behind the mask, although your strength and speed were amazing..."

"However, I hope that this is the extent of your strength."

"If it is, then this battle will end before I can even get in a good laugh."

"Hahaha!"

Spreading his hands wide into the sky, the Clown King began to float in the air.

Beside him, another Clown King suddenly appeared.

Then a third.

Then a fourth.

Then a fifth.

Before Ethan could react, twenty Clown Kings had appeared, their laughs echoing through the heavens and the earth.

"Do you see it!"

"Although I don’t know where this power came from!"

"Although I don’t know what this power is for!"

"But about your question, let me answer it for you!"

He paused, the twenty Clown Kings all looking down on Ethan.

"Even before getting this ability, I never truly worked for the Reinhardt house. They were only a necessity to complete my goal."

"However now, there is no need!"

"With this ability of mine, I will send the world into true madness!"

"Hahahaha!" Along with his laughter, the audience as if hit by some spell also began to laugh
