Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Undercurrents Surge_1
As of now, the reputation of the flirtatious magician had truly made its mark in the provincial city.
After Greg Jensen decisively dealt with an elder from Healington and dared to challenge the Family Head of the Green family, Nathan Green, in the arena, hardly anyone in the provincial city was willing to provoke him.
When he took care of the elder from Healington, so people said he was too arrogant and unruly.
But once he had also taken care of Nathan Green, the voices of these people disappeared imdiately, and even…
The whole provincial city fell silent collectively!
Except for the Milton, Preston, and Cooper families, no one dared to question him aloud.
Greg Jensen knew that those people were all secretly watching, and the mont he showed any sign of weakness, they would swarm him like sharks that slled blood.
So, faced with the pressure from the three families, Greg Jensen did not back down an inch!
Now it was a matter of seeing what other moves these three families had up their sleeves.
If it hadn’t been for the recent slaying of Nathan Green, which had the people of the provincial city fearing for their own safety and possibly leading to a collective attack, Greg Jensen would have wanted to go directly to the three families and deal with a few of their key people once and for all.
There was no helping it; the lessons left by Ethan Locke were too profound.
From his little aunt to his second uncle, all the people close to him had been taken, and it would have been unthinkable if Jay Brent hadn’t been there at that ti.
After thinking it over, Greg Jensen felt he should still make so advance arrangents, so he took out his cell phone and called Brandon Brent, asking him to work with Theo Carter on expanding his connections in the provincial city to keep an eye on the movents of those three families for him.
After having lunch, Chelsea Wolfe returned to the bedroom for a nap, and Greg Jensen led the newly arrived Glen Wolfe into the study.
“What’s the situation with the Green family now?”
Glen Wolfe pondered for a mont before saying, “We have already signed contracts for all the industries of the Green family, but taking over the process is not going smoothly.”
“Are those three families still causing trouble?”
A glint of cold light flashed in Greg Jensen’s eyes, making Glen Wolfe’s scalp chill, and he spoke even more carefully.
“Yes, but that’s all they can do—to cause so disturbances. After all, legally, those industries now belong to the Wolfe family.
Unless you say otherwise, they can’t expect to get any benefits.”
“Hmm.”
Seeing Greg Jensen’s satisfied nod, Glen Wolfe felt a bit relieved and cautiously reminded, “However, you still need to be cautious of the Stuart family.”
Greg Jensen frowned and asked, “Cautious about what?”
Glen Wolfe replied, “The Stuart family is known to have two Grandmasters in the family, which is not a force to be underestimated. Besides, the Stuart family has a habit.
That is, whenever they see talent, they will try to recruit it under their command. If one does not agree, they will simply destroy them.
With your rising reputation now, it’s hard to guarantee the Stuart family won’t have other ideas.”
Greg Jensen raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “You an, the Stuart family is going to try to recruit ?”
Glen Wolfe nodded and said, “It’s possible, no, it’s certain they will co!”
He paused before continuing, “Years ago, our Qin Province also produced a highly talented Martial Way expert. In his thirties, he had already reached the Complete Dark Power, becoming a renowned half-step Grandmaster.
Such a talented person naturally had boundless prospects. It’s just a pity he refused the Stuart family’s recruitnt, and afterwards, no one ever heard from him again.”
“Dead?” Greg Jensen asked, surprised.
With a bitter smile, Glen Wolfe said, “Maybe he’s dead, or maybe crippled, who knows? In any case, he no longer poses a threat to the Stuart family’s status.”
A chill flashed in Greg Jensen’s eyes as he spoke in a stern voice, “This Stuart family is truly domineering, so any talent they encounter either serves them or is directly crippled or killed.”
“If this continues, what developnt can there be for our martial arts community in Qin Province?”
Glen Wolfe nodded in agreent, “That’s why, over the years, our province’s strength has always been inferior compared to other provinces.”
Greg Jensen fell silent for a mont, then lifted his head, “Just continue to take over the Green family’s enterprises. Don’t worry about the Stuart family. If they want to co, then let them co and see who has the last laugh.”
As Glen Wolfe looked at Greg Jensen’s resolute deanor, he couldn’t help but feel sowhat worried, but the Wolfe family was already tied to Barry Wolfe, and no matter the worries, they could only continue down this path.
The two talked for a while longer, and Glen Wolfe had soone bring in the dicinal materials collected over the past few days.
Those materials were for refining healing pills, not for making Qi Condensing Pills.
Greg Jensen knew that the ingredients for Qi Condensing Pills were too hard to find, so he didn’t make it difficult for Glen Wolfe. After sending him off, he lay in the lounge chair with his eyes closed, pondering the thod of refining Little Reviving Pills.
The Little Reviving Pill is a type of healing dicine recorded in the “Yin Yang Harmony Scripture,” rumored to be able to bring the dead back to life and nd white bones. Yet, Greg always felt that it was an exaggeration.
There was another type called the Big Reviving Elixir, described almost the sa as the Little Reviving Pill, but with an emphasis on explaining the “bringing the dead back to life” aspect.
Greg thought that the Little Reviving Pill was purely a sham, and it was the Big Reviving Elixir that truly had the effect of “bringing the dead back to life.”
…
Milton family villa, the tea room.
Troy Milton sat behind the tea table, personally brewing tea for Trent Preston and Simon Cooper.
His movents were very practiced, as though he had rehearsed them many tis, smooth and seamless, without the slightest sense of stiffness.
Such a pleasing scene to watch, but Simon Cooper’s face looked a bit unpleasant.
Just now, they had so disagreent over how to deal with Barry Wolfe.
In Simon Cooper’s opinion, Barry Wolfe had saved him once, and he owed him for that.
It might be better to use this opportunity to nd fences and ease relationships with the other party.
As for the matter of the Green family’s assets, let soone from the Stuart family handle it. After all, in the end, the Stuart family would still rely on them to control the provincial city, so naturally, their interests would not be diminished.
But before he could finish, his idea was directly rejected by Troy Milton, and it was a categorical rejection without leaving any room for sentint.
If it weren’t for the fact that Troy’s sister had married into the Stuart family, Simon Cooper would have long gone away in dissatisfaction.
The tea room was very quiet, Trent Preston sat on the side, looking at Simon Cooper and then at Troy Milton, frowning, “Old Simon, I think you’re overthinking it. What favors, what debts? Isn’t Barry Wolfe just scared of Lukas Simon, which is why he went to the military camp?”
Troy Milton leisurely poured half a cup of tea for both of them, lifted his head, “Old Simon, Trent is right. Aren’t you old enough to see the world clearly?
All this talk of favors and debts is just talk. Money is the most important thing in this world.”
Simon Cooper’s brow furrowed tightly, and he remained silent.
After a long pause, he suddenly spoke, “If you ask , just let the Stuart family go and talk to Barry Wolfe. We’ve been paying tribute to the Stuart family year after year, why should we also run errands for them?”
Clack!
Troy Milton gently set the exquisite purple clay teapot down on the tea table, silent for a long stretch, then slowly began, “Old Simon, you haven’t understood one thing.”
He looked up at Simon Cooper, “We do pay tribute to the Stuart family, but we need to be clear about the primary and secondary roles.
It’s not that we make money and then pay tribute to the Stuart family; rather, it’s because we pay tribute that we can make this money. Do you understand?”
