Chapter 568: Chapter 568 Departure_1
“Ah, you’re terrible, taking advantage of while I was asleep.”
“Haha, that was all you, how could it be ambushing you?”
“Hmph, I don’t want to talk to you!”
Louisa Burley huffed, turned her head away, and covered it with the blanket.
Greg Jensen laughed and pulled her body towards him, holding her in his embrace and tenderly comforting her for a while.
When Louisa Burley finally had a smile on her face again, Greg Jensen brought up the matter of the Union of Seven Provinces martial arts competition again.
...
The Union of Seven Provinces competition was held in Shuishui County Town, a place located in the center of seven provinces. The scenery wasn’t particularly beautiful, but one could enjoy the unique cuisine of the great northwest.
Louisa Burley, who usually lit up at the ntion of good food, seed less happy this ti.
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she said, “Greg, perhaps we should just not go.”
“Don’t worry, even if we don’t get any good resources, I won’t be hard.”
“But they are all so powerful.”
Louisa advised, “You’ve now taken the Stuart Family’s forr place, isn’t that enough? Let’s just drop it and spend a few days together.”
Greg Jensen thought she was worried that he wouldn’t have ti for her, which is why she said that, and he imdiately replied with a smile:
“Don’t worry, the competition won’t take more than a few days. Once it’s over, I’ll take you to have a good ti in Shuishui, and we’ll try all the delicious food there.”
“That’s not what I an.”
“Louisa, hear out.”
Greg Jensen said earnestly, “Even if I don’t participate, the other six families won’t let off easily. So, I must take part in the Union of Seven Provinces competition. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Louisa Burley nodded, her face full of worry, wanting to persuade him further, yet not knowing quite how to start.
Should she tell him everything Jeremy Hall had said?
But then he would find out about Aaron Gill, and there would inevitably be conflicts between them in the future.
Thinking of the mysteries surrounding Aaron Gill, Louisa Burley imdiately dismissed the idea.
At this mont, her heart was in turmoil. On one hand, she hoped Greg Jensen could rescue her, while on the other, she feared he would get hurt in a confrontation with Aaron Gill.
She looked into Greg Jensen’s eyes, brimming with love, let out a deep sigh, and kissed him of her own accord.
At the sa ti, she made up her mind.
No matter what, she couldn’t let Greg Jensen get involved in her matrimonial affairs; accepting it was impossible to revolt, she decided to cherish the present.
As for the future, she had thought it through clearly: just disappear without a trace.
If Greg Jensen could never find her, he would give up. Eventually, a woman even gentler than herself would co along to take care of him.
…
anwhile, Thomas Lampe and others learned that the boss was determined to participate in the Union of Seven Provinces competition; by that afternoon, they began training in earnest.
Four Grandmasters, pairing up, practiced against each other, pointing out flaws in their martial arts and discussing how to compensate for them, preparing for the upcoming Union of Seven Provinces competition.
Besides being affectionate with Louisa Burley, Greg Jensen also spent ti alone in a secret chamber every day, practicing the Control Water Technique.
The Control Water Technique was a spell he had just learned after entering the ninth level of Qi Refinent, similar to the Small Cloud Rain Skill, as both used True Qi to manipulate water.
The difference was that the Small Cloud Rain Skill was more for assistance, suitable for growing dicinal herbs and nurturing flowers, but it had no offensive power.
The Control Water Technique, however, was different; it was a spell focused on attack, capable of turning the moisture in the air into ice spikes and water dragons to strike at the enemy.
Although its power was not as great as the Falling thunder technique, paired with the Controlling Object Technique, it was even harder to defend against.
Of course, Greg Jensen would not use these spells unless it was absolutely necessary.
Being a Grandmaster in his twenties was already astonishing enough. If he showed the strength of soone who had entered the path of cultivation, it could arouse suspicion from others.
And if that drew the attention of other Cultivators, there could be serious trouble.
In this age on the brink of the end of magic, Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Energy, and Spirit Pills were most likely items that all Cultivators would vie for.
Greg Jensen’s possessions would certainly attract covetous glances from others.
He had made up his mind that unless absolutely necessary, he would not reveal his identity as a cultivator even if he reached Golden Core.
As the ti approached, Greg Jensen took Louisa Burley, Thomas Lampe, and the others, and headed to Shangshui County in advance.
The other six families of the Union of Seven Provinces also arrived on the sa day.
The Hall Family had a large estate in Shangshui County, which was the venue for the martial arts tournant of the Union, and the accommodations for Greg Jensen and his party were also arranged within the estate.
Since there were still a few days before the tournant began, Greg Jensen took Louisa Burley out to explore Shangshui County.
…
Late at night, inside the villa where Carn Stuart was staying.
Drake Stuart silently entered the bedroom and after searching around, he finally found a red sachet under Carn’s pillow.
Opening it up, he imdiately started laughing.
“What are you doing?”
Carn suddenly woke up and seeing the sachet in Drake’s hand, her face changed dramatically. She urgently said, “That’s mine, give it back to .”
As she said this, she tried to snatch it back.
Drake chuckled softly, quickly evaded her, and said with a sneer, “Carn, I knew you must have kept such a little souvenir.
How about we talk?”
Knowing she couldn’t snatch it from him, Carn cald down and asked with a frown, “What do you want to talk about?”
“How about a curse or sothing of the sort to cast on Greg Jensen?” Drake said with a smile.
Carn’s face shifted again as she firmly said, “Impossible, don’t even think about it, I will not help you harm others.”
“Harm others?”
Drake’s expression turned cold in an instant, and his stern face grew more ferocious, “He killed our father, what’s wrong with seeking revenge on him? Do you call that harming soone?”
Carn’s deanor flickered, and she calmly said, “No matter what you say, I won’t help you. You might as well give up on that idea.”
“Ha, it looks like you’ve really fallen for that guy, huh? You don’t even care about our father’s death?”
Drake sneered and called out loudly towards the outside, “Did everyone hear that? Co in!”
Before his words had faded, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Afterward, Family Head Julian Stuart, as well as Victor Stuart and other core Stuart Family mbers, all walked in.
Seeing this, Carn frowned and said, “Calling them over is useless, I’ve studied witchcraft to protect the Stuart Family, not to harm others in their absence.”
“Protect the Stuart Family?”
Drake shouted angrily, “Where were you when our father died? What were you doing when the Stuart Family estate was taken from us?”
Carn fell silent instantly.
Drake said indifferently, “I’m asking you one last ti, are you willing to do it?!”
Carn replied coldly, “Let tell you again, it’s impossible!”
Feeling Carn’s unequivocal tone, Drake laughed mockingly and said, “In that case, you can’t bla .”
Having said that, he gestured to those behind him, “Bring the person in.”
Julian Stuart frowned and waved his hand towards the outside; imdiately, crying and shouting could be heard.
“Let go…”
“Sis, I’m scared.”
A mont later, Carn Stuart and Michelle Stuart were brought in.
Both were tied up with thick ropes, and behind them followed two tall and sturdy bodyguards.
Seeing these two, Carn’s face changed once again as she demanded in a stern voice, “Drake, what exactly are you planning to do?”
