Emily Taylor seemed just as surprised by Ethan Smith's audacity.
She looked at Ethan Smith in amazement, speechless for quite a while.
"Being with me... will be dangerous." Emily Taylor stared straight into Ethan Smith's eyes.
"I'm not afraid!" Ethan Smith replied with extraordinary determination.
Emily Taylor shook her head and said, "Ethan Smith, River City is such a small place. You have never witnessed the schemes of those people in Capital City, I..."
"Who cares about Capital City!" Ethan Smith interrupted Emily Taylor's words.
"As I said, as long as I can be with you, I fear nothing!" Ethan Smith's words were filled with a combination of excitement.
Emily Taylor paused for a moment, then patted Ethan Smith's head and laughed, "I believe you. But... I have to see how you perform, and... whether you can pass the test."
"Test?" Ethan Smith looked stunned and quickly asked, "What test? I'll give it my all!"
