Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Soft Nail_1
The Humphrey family residence was located in the city center of the Western Plains Province, a vast nine-section estate with a history of several hundred years.
Over half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance, and Greg Jensen and Xavier Cooper got out of the car.
Greg Jensen surveyed the surroundings and couldn’t help but be surprised as he said, “Zheng Wanzhou lives here?”
“Yes, that’s correct. We already inquired about it beforehand,” Xavier Cooper replied.
“The Humphrey family sure has so tricks up its sleeve to get their hands on such a residence,” Greg Jensen remarked.
Seeing the Humphrey family’s gates wide open, Greg knew his movents had not been concealed from the Humphrey family’s informants, so he imdiately walked in with Xavier Cooper.
...
They had barely taken a few steps when a middle-aged man in his fifties approached them with a cold face and asked, “Hold it, who are you?”
Greg glanced at him and asked over his shoulder, “Is this the man who broke your leg?”
Xavier looked closely at the man and then shook his head, saying, “I haven’t seen him before.”
“Well then, let’s go; there’s no need to mind him.”
Greg behaved as if the man wasn’t there and continued walking inside.
The middle-aged man beca furious and rushed over to take action.
Greg spoke coldly, “Move aside or die!”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man involuntarily halted in his steps and scoffed, “Where did this arrogant brat co from, you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Greg was already in front of him, and his aura suddenly exploded.
The man shivered; a cold chill instantly shot up from the base of his spine, and with a gentle push from Greg, he stumbled to one side.
“Kid, I’m talking to you!”
Watching Greg walk away as if he were strolling in a leisurely garden, a hint of wariness rose in the man’s eyes.
But recalling what Zheng Wanzhou had instructed him, the man felt aggrieved and, grinding his teeth, he let out a roar and rushed to grab Greg Jensen’s shoulder.
Hearing the wind sound from behind, Greg didn’t bother to turn around and threw a punch over his shoulder.
Bang!
The man was rely a top-notch expert at the Complete Dark Power level, called a half-step Grandmaster, still far from a true Grandmaster, let alone that Greg had already attained the ninth level of Qi Refinent.
The punch was swift as lightning; the middle-aged man had no ti to react and took the blow directly to his face, instantly crushing his nasal bone.
“Please, have rcy!”
Just as Greg was about to finish him, a desperate voice suddenly ca from the yard.
“Grandmaster Wolfe, please, show rcy!”
Before the voice faded, Zheng Wanzhou hurriedly ran out from inside, and seeing the scene before him, his face darkened for a mont but quickly returned to normal as he put on a warm smile.
“Grandmaster Wolfe, I’ve long admired your great reputation.”
Zheng Wanzhou bowed with his hands clasped, smiled across his face, and then glanced at the middle-aged man saying, “I apologize for my subordinate’s ignorance; I hope Grandmaster Wolfe won’t take offense.”
Seeing Zheng Wanzhou’s attitude, Greg was montarily taken aback, but he quickly realized the other party was attempting to handle him with kid gloves.
The problem was… he ca here to cause trouble, not to negotiate; soft tactics seed useless to him, right?
“Xavier Cooper!”
“Boss, I’m here.”
Staring at Zheng Wanzhou, Greg’s face broke into an enigmatic smile, and he coldly spat out two words through clenched teeth.
“Kill him!”
“You wouldn’t dare…”
Zheng Wanzhou’s face went pale. Before he could act to stop it, a slash of cold light streaked by, and the middle-aged man imdiately collapsed, clutching his throat.
Blood, a vivid red, spurted out between his fingers, his body convulsing involuntarily.
In that mont, silence reigned!
The blood gushed out, and its sound seed amplified countless tis.
The air was thick with the pungent scent of blood, and Zheng Wanzhou’s expression was so dark it looked like it could drip water.
After what seed an eternity, the middle-aged man no longer showed signs of life.
“To insult a Grandmaster is to court death!”
Greg Jensen kept his gaze on the Humphrey family head, his eyes filled with a teasing light, as he asked, “Does Grandmaster Humphrey agree with that statent?”
The countenance of the Humphrey family head turned extrely unsightly, wishing he could slaughter Greg Jensen on the spot, yet he still restrained himself.
Because, it didn’t align with his interests.
Breaking Xavier Cooper’s leg was to enrage Barry Wolfe, while delivering the Fla Grass to the martial arts competition of the seven provinces was to rally the other five families to join forces against Barry Wolfe.
From beginning to end, the Humphrey family head never intended to face Barry Wolfe alone, and naturally, he didn’t wish to ruin his own plans over a re half-step Grandmaster.
He remained silent, nodding his head, and said coldly, “Grandmaster Wolfe speaks the truth, please co inside.”
Greg Jensen burst into laughter, “Haha, Grandmaster Humphrey, after you?”
“Grandmaster Wolfe, please…”
“Please…”
Greg Jensen no longer stood on ceremony, hands clasped behind him, and made his way inside first.
The Humphrey family head followed with a cold face, not uttering a word.
After the two arrived in the main hall and seated themselves appropriately as host and guest, the butler personally brought in two servants carrying tea.
The Humphrey family head looked at the at-ease Greg Jensen and asked with a feigned smile, “I’ve long admired Grandmaster Wolfe’s reputation, and seeing him in person today truly is a case of ‘the reputation doesn’t live up to the seeing.'”
“Grandmaster Humphrey is too kind,” said Greg Jensen indifferently.
The smile on the Humphrey family head’s face remained unchanged as he asked, “I wonder what advice Grandmaster Wolfe has for us on this visit?”
Greg Jensen smiled and, pointing to Xavier Cooper who stood behind him, said, “When my subordinates are bullied, as their boss, of course I have to co and see what’s happened.”
“Oh? Sothing like this occurred?”
The Humphrey family head feigned surprise, “Was it done by soone from our Humphrey family?”
“Whether it was the Humphrey family or not, Grandmaster Humphrey, wouldn’t you find out by handing the person over?”
Greg Jensen turned back and asked, “Xavier Cooper, what was the na of the person who hit you?”
“One calls himself Iron Palm Invincible, and the other is nicknad Long-ard Monkey. The forr practices Iron Sand Palm, and the latter follows the sa path as Master Zhao.”
“Oh.”
Greg Jensen responded with a single sound, then turned his head back towards the Humphrey family head and said with a smile, “Grandmaster Humphrey heard that, right? It’s these two, please summon them for .”
“Iron Palm Invincible and Long-ard Monkey, oh my, this is troubleso.”
The Humphrey family head said helplessly, “I must be frank, the two of them ntioned sothing about family issues so days ago and aren’t here with anymore.”
“Oh? What a coincidence?”
“Indeed, such a coincidence.”
The Humphrey family head said with a smile, “I’m truly sorry, my apologies.”
Greg Jensen smiled and continued to ask, “Then what about the Fla Grass they took?”
“What grass? I’ve never heard of it.”
“Has Grandmaster Humphrey truly never heard of it?”
The Humphrey family head replied innocently, “I’ve really never heard of it.”
Greg Jensen’s face no longer bore a smile as he asked once more, “Is Grandmaster Humphrey certain?”
The Humphrey family head’s expression also grew colder as he responded dismissively, “What are you implying, Grandmaster Wolfe? You couldn’t be suspecting that I took your Fla Grass?”
“Not at all.”
Greg Jensen shook his head with a smile, then hinted, “However, if Grandmaster Humphrey truly doesn’t know, that could be problematic.”
The Humphrey family head thought Greg Jensen was at a loss and had softened, following with a sigh, “Indeed, those two lads running off with Grandmaster Wolfe’s property and hiding in who knows what corner of the world makes them indeed difficult to find.”
“Grandmaster Humphrey misunderstands; the difficulty I refer to is not about that.”
“Then what is it?”
The Humphrey family head was taken aback, glancing up only to see Greg Jensen actually removing his coat, which left him utterly bewildered.
He heard Greg Jensen order, “Take the coat, and wait by the door, and be very careful not to soil it.
Your sister Nan just bought it for , and this is my first ti wearing it. If it gets stained with blood, I’ll never hear the end of it when I get back.”
