Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Unfortunate Family_1
At the estate entrance, Donald Simmons and Fraser Simmons, sitting in a wheelchair, were waiting with big smiles for him to get out of the car.
“Mr. Jensen, hello. Antonio has already told us about your youth, but I never imagined you’d be this young. It really is a case of ‘seeing is believing’.”
“You flatter , Mr. Simmons.”
Greg had heard about Fraser from Bradley Ford and knew he was famously bold and righteous, but due to an injury in recent years, he had beco much more somber.
Therefore, Greg bore no ill-will towards Fraser and was quite polite.
Fraser was sowhat flattered and hurriedly said, “Mr. Jensen, there’s no need for formalities with , please co inside.”
“After you…”
Greg nodded and followed Mick and the others inside the villa.
After everyone had taken a seat on the sofa, Greg asked a few brief questions and then prepared to take Fraser’s pulse.
Just at that mont, the butler suddenly ca in and said, “Master, the eldest miss has returned and has brought a doctor with her.”
Hearing this, Fraser couldn’t help but frown.
Before anyone could speak, a middle-aged woman walked in; it was none other than the Simmons family’s eldest daughter Hazel Simmons.
By her side was an elderly man, not very tall, slightly plump, with fair skin and a look of affluence, carrying a small dicine chest.
As soon as Hazel entered the room, she exclaid joyously, “Dad, I’ve brought a Divine Doctor to see you.”
“Ah, you’re very thoughtful,” Fraser said coolly.
Unperturbed, Hazel turned her head, saw Greg, and asked in confusion, “And who might this be…?”
Mick smiled and said, “Sister, this is the healer I’ve found.”
“A healer?”
Hazel scrutinized Greg and said dismissively, “A healer so young – what could he possibly know? I bet he’s a fraud.”
Before she could finish speaking, Fraser raised his voice and commanded, “Enough!”
The living room fell silent.
Fraser’s expression was dark and brooding, while Donald and Mick broke out in cold sweat.
After all, he was a step away from being a Grandmaster – soone capable of wiping out the entire Simmons family alone.
Calling him a fraud – are you rushing us to our deaths?
The three Simmons family mbers were anxious, looking at Greg subconsciously, fearing that they had offended him.
Greg turned his head back emotionlessly and glanced calmly at Hazel and the old man, then shifted his gaze back to Fraser.
Before he could speak, Hazel grew more agitated.
“Dad, what… what do you an by that?”
Her face flushed with the inability to save face, she huffed, “I didn’t say anything wrong. He’s so young…”
“Did I not tell you to shut up? Can you not understand?”
Fraser roared, “My health is none of your concern. Go about your business.”
Seeing his reaction, Hazel’s expression also cooled, and she frowned, “Fine, I won’t ddle. Have you thought about what we discussed earlier?”
“Not one bit!”
Fraser shouted angrily, “You go back and tell your good-for-nothing husband, if he dreams of getting his hands on my wealth, he’s dreaming!”
This ti, Hazel didn’t get angry but instead squeezed out a smile, “Dad, what are you talking about?
You said it yourself before, the Simmons family is in a precarious situation right now.
I was thinking, if we could join with the Morris family, then wouldn’t that…”
Fraser roared, “Get out, get out now! How did the Simmons family ever raise soone as foolish as you!”
“Dad, it’s a win-win situation!”
Hazel spoke urgently, “Dad, if you agree to the Morris family’s proposal, our family can gain a strong backer, and my husband’s position in the Morris family could also…”
“Antonio, throw her out!”
Fraser Simmons was so angered that his face turned pale, and he struggled to speak with force.
Seeing this, Mick Simmons quickly stood up and said to Hazel Simmons, “Big sister, you should leave quickly.”
“Antonio, this is my ho, how can you drive away…”
“Get out, or I’ll be forced to get rough!”
Mick Simmons was also furious, his face turned a steely blue, scaring Hazel Simmons into a shudder.
“Dad, I’m telling you, my father-in-law is now a master at the later stage of Dark Strength, and you should really weigh your options carefully…”
“Get out!”
Hazel Simmons didn’t dare to say more and, taking the elder with her, quickly ran out.
Once again, the living room fell into silence.
Greg Jensen looked at the three mbers of the Simmons family strangely, wondering what kind of drama this was, and if the interpersonal relationships within wealthy families were all this complicated.
“Dad, you need to calm down, don’t make yourself sick with anger,” Mick Simmons advised.
Fraser Simmons nodded silently in response, but when he saw Greg Jensen’s peculiar expression, he couldn’t help feeling embarrassed and sighed,
“Mr. Jensen has seen the joke. This daughter of mine has been spoiled by since she was young and doesn’t have much of a brain. After growing up, she was duped by that bastard from the Morris family.
I thought, given their equal social status, it would be fine, but it turned out that little bastard was useless.
After so many years, they still depend on our family for support.
In recent years, my health has deteriorated, and the Morris family has set their sights on so of the Simmons family’s assets, encouraging my foolish daughter to co back and pressure to agree to their terms.”
It was clear that Fraser Simmons’s heart was truly wounded; by the end, his voice even carried a hint of weeping.
“Alas, such family misfortune.”
Greg Jensen spoke up, “Mr. Simmons, please calm down. Your current health is so poor that it could be described as ‘the oil is exhausted and the lamp is out.’
If you continue to be so agitated, I’m afraid that you might pass away before I have the chance to treat you.”
“This…”
Fraser Simmons gave a sowhat embarrassed chuckle.
Mick Simmons, however, caught a different implication in Greg Jensen’s words, and excitedly said,
“Mr. Jensen, do you an that there is hope for my dad’s health?”
Greg Jensen nodded and said, “Yes. Although it’s a bit troubleso, there is indeed a way to cure him.”
Upon hearing this, Fraser Simmons fell silent for a mont, then hesitantly said, “Mr. Jensen, my martial arts…”
“Your True Qi is still positioned within your Dantian, so your realm will not fall.
However, you have not exercised for many years, so your muscle strength and coordination will need so ti to recover.”
“Does that an I… I could return to my forr strength?”
Fraser Simmons’s eyes suddenly lit up, hopeful as he looked at Greg Jensen.
However, the next second, he saw Greg Jensen gently shaking his head.
His heart lifted again.
The living room fell into the silence of death once more.
Fraser Simmons felt his heart might have skipped a beat and said with a quivering voice, “Mr. Jensen, I…”
Seeing his expression, Greg Jensen knew he had misunderstood and said with a smile, “What I an is, not only will you be able to regain your past strength, but your body might actually beco better than before.
Because, after helping you clear your ridians, your ridians will inevitably beco tougher, and the True Qi they can accommodate will be several tis what it was before.
So, not only will your body beco better, it will also beco stronger, and furthermore, even stronger than that.”
“This…”
The three mbers of the Simmons family exchanged glances, all sowhat in disbelief of their ears.
Fraser Simmons was previously at the later stage of Dark Strength, about to enter the Complete Dark Power. If he could beco even stronger, did that not an he had the potential to beco a half-step Grandmaster?
