The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 478 - : Sudden Change_1

Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Sudden Change_1

Now, Greg Jensen had barely managed to secure his position as the top leader in the Qin Province, but if he wanted to control all the resources and wealth of the province, he needed to withstand the Stuart Family.

In the following days, Greg Jensen spent all his time cooped up in the villa, sticking close to Louisa Burley.

Although Louisa Burley insisted on waiting until marriage, some light petting was inevitable, and every two or three days, he could enjoy a session of symphony, making Greg Jensen’s days quite blissful.

Don’t ask, because being with the one you love, whatever you do feels joyful.

Of course, the downside was that he hadn’t engaged in Dual Cultivation these past few days, so the True Qi gained from the Guidance Technique was next to nothing, and his cultivation had also come to a standstill.

Luckily, he had made about thirty Qi Condensing Pills a few days ago. With the Qi Condensing Pills’ help, even though the speed of True Qi growth couldn’t compare to Dual Cultivation, it wasn’t too far off.

He had also made some progress in the “Divine Dragon Nine Transformations,” but there was still a long way to go before he reached the next level.

Additionally, thanks to Simon Cooper’s maneuvering, the Milton Family finally loosened their grip and agreed to withdraw from the Qin Province in the near future, handing over all their assets.

The Green family’s assets had already been handed over, and if he could take over the Milton Family’s assets, then Greg Jensen’s plans would nearly be realized.

The assets of the Milton Family and the Green family would tightly bind the Martial Way noble families of the Qin Province together.

By that time, even if the Stuart Family thought about moving against Greg Jensen, they would have to weigh their options carefully.

Martial Way noble families rise through martial prowess, and naturally, they can decline for the same reason; the Milton Family was no exception.

After the death of Troy Milton, the Milton Family had no capable fighters left. If it weren’t for the backing of the Stuart Family, people like Simon Cooper would have pounced on them like starving wolves long ago.

It was precisely because of the Stuart Family’s presence that they dared not push too aggressively, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However, on this matter, they weren’t too afraid of the Stuart Family, because it was just the rule of the Martial Way noble families.

The Stuart Family, as one of the overlords of the Seven Provinces of Northwest, might have some behind-the-scenes maneuvers, but they would still have to follow the overt rules.

But Troy Milton’s widow was no pushover, seeing that she couldn’t hold out any longer, she finished dealing with Simon Cooper and immediately turned to the Stuart Family, bursting into tears in front of her sister-in-law, Naomi Milton.

“Naomi, our Milton Family is finished, without your brother, our home is falling apart!”

Troy Milton’s wife cried miserably, throwing Naomi Milton into disarray.

She frowned and said, “Stop crying! I’ll talk to Grandpa when he returns. This Barry Wolfe, he’s simply going too far!”

Just then, Grandpa Stuart walked in from outside, and upon seeing Troy Milton’s widow present, he instantly understood the situation.

Naomi Milton quickly said, “Grandpa, you arrived just in time. That Barry Wolfe is outrageous, look what he’s reduced my sister-in-law to?”

Troy Milton’s wife was even more straightforward, falling to her knees before Grandpa Stuart, “Grandpa, if you don’t reach out to save us now, we poor widows and orphans will have nothing left but death.”

“Sister-in-law, what are you doing, get up quickly.”

Grandpa Stuart hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, “Alright, I’m aware of the situation. You go back first, I’ll have a word with the old man and will find Barry Wolfe.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Troy Milton’s wife knew that once Grandpa Stuart said he would help, he definitely would. To say more would be ungrateful.

She promptly got up to take her leave.

Grandpa Stuart and Naomi Milton saw her out the door and watched as the car drove away. Then they returned inside the house.

Naomi Milton couldn’t help but fan the flames. Once back inside, she said directly, “This Barry Wolfe is excessive, he’s clearly not taking our Stuart Family seriously at all!”

Grandpa Stuart frowned, “The man is certainly overreaching, acting as if he’s the local tyrant of the Qin Province now.”

Naomi Milton said, “Grandpa, I think we must find someone to teach him a lesson!”

Grandpa Stuart was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Your aunt wants to recruit him, and the old man agrees with her.

Going against him now would be opposing the old man, wouldn’t it?”

Naomi Milton advised, “Just don’t kill him, and that’s the end of it. We warn him off the Milton Family for now, isn’t that reasonable enough?”

“Yeah, that might be good.”

Grandpa Stuart pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll go talk to him myself.”

Naomi Milton frowned and said, “What are you thinking? If anyone should come talk, it should be him. What does it look like if you go there yourself? What era are we in that you’re still playing the game of humbling yourself before others?”

It seemed that Grandpa Stuart thought she was talking too much today; he glanced at her askance and said indifferently, “I don’t need you to teach me how to handle my affairs.”

Naomi Milton’s face changed slightly, but she said no more.

Grandpa Stuart hesitated for a moment, thinking that his wife was right, and then took out his phone to make a call.

In the world of the Martial Way, families like Stuart’s would, through their own power and wealth, recruit several famous experts.

For minor issues, these retainers would usually handle them, and the family’s own experts wouldn’t step in unless it was a critical moment.

The man Grandpa Stuart sought out was a half-step Grandmaster named Darryl Ingles. Among the Stuart Family’s retainers, his martial skills weren’t the highest, but because he was the oldest, he was quite respected.

Darryl Ingles had a good relationship with Grandpa Stuart, so when he received the call, he didn’t decline and immediately agreed to help.

Early the next day, he took a car and rushed to the provincial city.

…

Late at night.

Louisa Burley leaned against Greg Jensen and sat on the swing chair in the courtyard.

Gazing up at the stars, she whispered, “Greg, do you think… we can make it to the end?”

“Of course, we can,” he replied.

Greg Jensen looked down, confused, and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking this?”

Louisa Burley shivered slightly, then relaxed again, but she didn’t answer his question. Instead, she said:

“I’m a bit cold. Could you go get my wool coat from my room for me?”

Greg Jensen stood up and said, “Sure. Where did you put it?”

Louisa Burley turned her head, her smile tinged with a hint of bitterness that Greg Jensen failed to notice in the dim light.

She quietly looked at Greg Jensen and said, “I don’t remember where I put it. Have a good look around.”

“Wait here for a minute then,” he said.

“Mhm.”

As Greg Jensen entered the villa, Louisa Burley quietly turned around and looked towards a corner of the courtyard, then slowly walked over.

In the darkness, someone took a step forward, revealing half of his body to the starlight.

It was Jeremy Hall.

At this moment, his body remained concealed in the darkness, but his face, illuminated by the stars, appeared somewhat pale, giving him a somewhat cold demeanor.

“Miss Burley, it’s only been a few days; you wouldn’t have forgotten your fiancé’s name already, would you?”

“I know, his name is Aaron Gill.”

Louisa Burley stared directly into Jeremy Hall’s eyes, and although she was usually gentle and meek, she seemed somewhat assertive at that moment.

Jeremy Hall was slightly stunned, his expression turning unpleasant, and said, “But from the way you and Greg Jensen act all lovey-dovey, you don’t seem like someone who’s engaged.”
