After hearing Alvin Ward's words, the scene indeed became much quieter.
The passionate crowd had all unconsciously taken a step back.
This was enough to show the Schroeder Family's status in Shiglance City.
Even with so many rich people, no one was willing to go against the Schroeder Family.
Alvin Ward smugly glanced at Ethan Smith and sneered, "Ethan, what else can you do?"
Ethan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as he seemed unable to come up with a solution for a moment.
He looked at the crowd, but no one was willing to meet his gaze.
Ethan took a deep breath and said with furrowed brows, "Are we really giving up like this, or is it...kill the messenger?"
Ethan never thought that he would become the one to kill the messenger.
"Alright, time is almost up," Alvin Ward glanced at his watch.
He then said triumphantly, "The treasure is mine!"
Having said that, Alvin Ward strode towards the stone statue.
