Ethan Smith arrived at Green Moon Villa, dragging Marc Fraley who was as limp as a dead dog.
Upon seeing Marc Fraley laying on the ground, Polly Reeves was immediately taken aback.
"Who is this?" Polly Reeves exclaimed.
Ethan Smith dismissed it and said, "Just an idiot, never mind him."
Afterwards, Ethan Smith tossed Marc Fraley aside and went solo to the vicinity of the Spiritual Spring.
"How's it going? Any progress yet?" Ethan Smith inquired.
Spike Schneider looked at Ethan Smith and held up three fingers, saying, "Roughly three more days needed."
Ethan Smith grunted in agreement, saying, "You've worked hard."
Three days - it was far quicker than expected.
And three days was exactly the duration Ethan Smith had given Luke Fraley.
"As long as the Martial Saint doesn't appear, I should be safe temporarily," Ethan Smith brooded privately.
In the current era, Ethan Smith feared no one beneath the Martial Saint, not even Jackson Harris and Ignacio Burke.
