Chapter 788: Chapter 788 Going Ho_1 Chapter 788: Chapter 788 Going Ho_1 Trey Hols’s feelings were incredibly complex, a mix of guilt on one side and discomfort on the other.
No matter what his master and senior brother had done, they ultimately died at Greg Jensen’s hands.
Trey Hols looked at Greg Jensen’s cold face, feeling more guilty by the second, and said in a low voice, “Boss, you… don’t be angry anymore, alright?”
“Haha, not angry!”
Seeing the dejected look on Trey Hols’s face and unable to bear it, Greg Jensen casually chuckled and said, “Alright, let’s go inside. Amande is still waiting.”
Trey Hols exclaid in surprise, “You’ve already seen her?”
“Mm.”
Greg Jensen nodded and said, “I’ve already made arrangents with her, I’m taking her away.”
Trey Hols silently nodded, then took the initiative to push open the courtyard gate and walked in.
Louisa Burley was still in the yard, gazing foolishly at the mountain scenery, secretly hoping that Greg Jensen would arrive soon.
“Louisa, you’re here?”
Upon seeing Trey Hols, a smile blood on Louisa Burley’s face.
Suppressing the pain in his heart, Trey Hols forced a smile and said, “Amande, guess who’s here?”
With that, she stepped aside to reveal Greg Jensen standing behind her.
Louisa Burley was stunned, then stood up with a look of sheer joy and said, “Greg, you… how did you get here so soon?”
“The matter is settled, so I ca.”
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “Amande, I’m here to take you ho.”
“But…”
Louisa Burley instinctively glanced at Trey Hols next to her.
Trey Hols, thinking of his deceased master and junior brother, couldn’t help but show a mont of sorrow before forcing a smile and saying:
“Amande, your junior brother has left, so no one will force you to marry him anymore. You can leave with with confidence.”
“Really?”
Louisa Burley looked at her incredulously and asked blankly, “I… I can really leave?”
Trey Hols smiled and nodded.
Suddenly overwheld with emotion, Louisa Burley’s tears fell. Since arriving at the Sect, she had rarely been able to contact her parents.
Alone in this strange environnt, she spent each day in trepidation, with only Trey Hols occasionally keeping her company for a chat.
Apart from that, she could only sit in the small courtyard, watching the sunrise and sunset, observing the seasons change, and seeing birds pair up and play among the trees.
Whereas she was alone, enduring loneliness and fear.
Now, at long last, she could leave this place and return to the warmth of her ho and the embrace of her parents and lover.
Thrilled, she threw herself into Greg Jensen’s arms, her tears freely flowing as she felt the warmth of his chest and found her heart gradually calming down.
An unprecedented sense of security filled her.
“Alright, let’s go ho.”
“Mm.”
As her tears subsided, Louisa Burley’s face lit up with a blissful smile, holding onto Greg Jensen’s arm tightly, unwilling to let go for a long ti.
Greg Jensen gently patted her hand and said to Trey Hols, “In a few days, people from the Sect will co over for the first council eting of the managent association.
Your Sect should prepare well. This place will be the managent association’s headquarters in the future, and I’ll talk to the Sect to ensure they take care of your Sect as much as possible.”
“Thank you, boss.”
“Why be so formal with ?”
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “Louisa, I hope your Sect learns from this lesson. A great age of strife is upon us; the true path lies in strengthening yourselves.”
“Yes, True Monarch,” Trey Hols said solemnly.
Greg Jensen smiled again, shook his head, and said, “Let’s go!”
Before his words had faded away, he grabbed Louisa Burley and soared into the sky, startling the unprepared woman into letting out a scream.
The sword light flickered as the two of them soon stood on a Flying Sword, disappearing into the horizon.
Trey Hols gazed in the direction of their departure, speechless for a long ti, her eyes filled with hope and envy.
Just for a mont, she had wanted to leave with Greg Jensen too, to return to that carefree, unconcerned life of her past.
But she knew she couldn’t.
Without her, the boss would definitely not help the Sect of Taixu again.
By then, the Sect of Taixu would be an enemy to the entire Hidden Gate, and without the protection of Greg Jensen, the furious Hanging Temple and Tranquil Nunnery and other Sects would tear the Sect of Taixu to shreds.
Trey Hols turned her head for a glance at the nearby mountains, and couldn’t help but heave a long sigh.
The Sect of Taixu after all was the place that had raised her, however bad it was, it was still her ho. Everyone has feelings, who can abandon their ho and seek their own pleasures?
…
In Jamae City, at the Burley family residence,
Craig Burley and Annie Stuart were practicing a set of health exercises under the lead of Spencer Burley.
Before they had finished one set, Annie Stuart dropped out.
“Mom, what are you doing?”
“I’m not doing it anymore!”
Annie Stuart said restlessly, “What’s the use of practicing these every day?”
Craig Burley said, “Really, you just practiced for a while and already you quit. Didn’t you hear what Magnus said? This exercise can strengthen the body and prolong life, it’s beneficial to practice more.”
Annie Stuart gave him a glare and scoffed, “If life isn’t comfortable, what’s the use of living so long?”
“Oh, you…”
“What about ?”
Annie Stuart’s face clouded over as she sighed, “It’s been a few days since Louisa has called , I wonder how she’s doing over there.”
Upon hearing his daughter ntioned, Craig Burley’s face also showed a trace of worry as he reassured, “Don’t worry, our daughter won’t suffer.”
“How do you know she won’t suffer? Did you see her?”
Annie Stuart complained, “It’s all your fault, I said we shouldn’t bother with any stupid marriage arrangent. What era is it now to still have such arranged marriages?”
Craig Burley scolded angrily, “What does a woman know? Aaron Gill and his people are like Immortals, can we afford to provoke them?”
“Can’t provoke them, so you sold your daughter?”
“Hey, how can you say sold the daughter?”
Craig Burley imdiately rebelled, saying, “If it weren’t for Master Aaron Gill, how could Louisa have grown up so safely?
Besides, you agreed to it at the ti, it wasn’t just my decision.”
“You want to argue, is that it? If it weren’t for you insisting on fulfilling so damn marriage pact, would our daughter have left with Aaron Gill?”
Annie Stuart fud, “What’s so bad about Greg Jensen? Even though his background and education aren’t as impressive, the man is hardworking and willing to endure hardship.
Starting from scratch, he has also established quite a business. In my opinion, he even outdoes you, Craig Burley.”
Craig Burley said helplessly, “I never said Greg Jensen was bad, only… do you think it’s realistic for him to compete with Aaron Gill for our daughter?
Even if I did marry our daughter to Greg Jensen, that wouldn’t help him, it would harm him!”
“Dad, Mom, stop fighting.”
“Get out of here, this doesn’t concern you.”
“I…”
Seeing his parents quarreling again, Spencer Burley felt a headache coming on and quickly called Jaden Ford over.
Ever since his sister left, the old couple had been arguing frequently over this matter. And Spencer Burley, who didn’t have much say in the house to begin with, had even less now.
Luckily, both parents listened to Jaden Ford very well. As long as she intervened, the situation would often calm down.
