Chapter 491: Chapter 491 Unparalleled Limelight_1

“Old Chen, why hasn’t the boss come back yet?”

Simon Cooper poured himself a cup of tea, looked up at Trent Preston, and said speechlessly:

“What’s the rush? I mean, you’re not young anymore. Why are you acting like a child?”

Trent Preston sighed, “I wish I could afford not to worry. The future of over a dozen members of the Preston family depends on the boss. How could I not be concerned?”

Simon Cooper spoke calmly, “Trust me, the boss will definitely come back.”

“I hope so…”

Before he could finish, Trent Preston’s phone suddenly rang.

He answered and after listening for a while, his face lit up with joy: “Old Chen, you really called it; the boss is back.”

“The boss isn’t hurt, is he?”

“No, Glen Wolfe told me that both Duncan Kong and Xavier Cooper are fine, so the boss is definitely okay.”

“Oh.”

Simon Cooper remained outwardly calm, but his heart was full of shock.

He had only been comforting Trent Preston, yet Barry Wolfe had actually returned from the Stuart family.

Could it be that Barry Wolfe had reached a cooperation with the Stuart family?

Simon Cooper’s expression subtly changed. Barry Wolfe’s cooperation with the Stuart family was both good and bad news for him.

The long-disturbed provincial city could finally settle down, and everyone could continue to do business happily.

Only now, the Cooper and Preston families might need to pay more dues.

Anyway, the return of Barry Wolfe was good news; at least the Cooper family didn’t have to pick sides again.

At the same time, the news of Barry Wolfe’s return spread, resulting in mixed reactions.

The family heads who had just sent gifts to Greg Jensen that morning were naturally overjoyed, while those who were still watching and waiting felt somewhat disappointed.

“How did Barry Wolfe return so easily? Did he reach cooperation with the Stuart family?”

“Cooperation my ass. I heard he pissed off Old Master Stuart so much, their talk completely broke down.”

“What? They broke down? Then why didn’t the Stuart family keep him?”

The person who spoke earlier said cryptically, “I don’t know about that. Maybe the Stuart family had some concerns.”

Hearing this, a few others were surprised.

They were all shrewd individuals; some things didn’t need to be spelled out too clearly— they understood what was unsaid.

If the negotiations had indeed broken down, according to the Stuart family’s past behavior, they would have kept Barry Wolfe and reconsolidated their power in the provincial city.

Now that Barry Wolfe had walked out of the Stuart household unharmed, that already said a lot.

“The Stuart family has gotten old…”

“Don’t talk nonsense, if you want to die don’t drag us down with you.”

Many shared this sentiment, so much so that shortly after Greg Jensen arrived at the villa, those family heads who had previously been waiting brought gifts and came visiting.

“Mr. Wolfe, this is a century-old Lingzhi, please accept it.”

“Mr. Wolfe, please take a look at this painting and appraise it…”

With the examples of the previous family heads, those who came later didn’t dare to come with meager gifts.

The items they brought were worth at least seven to eight hundred thousand each.

Greg Jensen accepted everything without refusal, gesturing grandly for Trey Holmes to collect it all.

Women love shiny things, and this was perfectly exemplified in Trey Holmes.

She had no interest in the famous calligraphy, paintings, Century Medicine, but upon seeing jade bracelets and gemstone necklaces, she was mesmerized.

Greg Jensen found it amusing and said, “Alright, stop looking. Pick a couple of pieces for yourself.”

“Thank you, boss, you’re the best!”

Trey Holmes was overjoyed, couldn’t help himself and hugged Greg Jensen around the neck, planting a kiss on him.

The next second, both of them froze.

Trey Holmes, her face flushed red, turned around and started selecting jewelry.

Greg Jensen felt a ripple in his heart and said half-jokingly, “Office romances are not allowed.”

At his words, Trey Holmes burst into laughter.

Looking at all the treasures in the room, Greg Jensen also broke into a smile; last time, he had already received items worth several billion.

This time there was even more, worth at least ten billion.

Furthermore, there was good news from the Simmons family.

Since Troy Milton’s death, the Simmons family had partnered with the Preston Family and the Peach Blossom Group to become a new conglomerate corporation.

Following a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, the new company began its official operations.

After one month of operation, the financial statement for the first month was out, including some unfinished projects, projecting a monthly profit of thirty billion and an estimated annual profit of around four hundred billion.

Even if it had to be divided into three parts, Greg Jensen would still get over a hundred billion.

Whilst happy, Greg Jensen also became vigilant.

The Stuart Family affair was not over; they would definitely continue to cause him trouble.

And this time, it made him realize that he urgently needed to build his own force.

If the Stuart Family could attract Master-level experts with money, so could he!

As long as he recruited enough experts, he would occupy more resources within the seven provinces, and as resources increased, his cultivation speed would also rise significantly.

As more and more people came to offer gifts, the news that “the Stuart Family backed off” spread like wildfire.

In Qin Province, the name of Glen Wolfe, the dashing Magician, was unrivaled.

Logically, with Glen Wolfe’s renowned name and generous conditions, there should have been many experts flocking to him.

But, Duncan Kong visited several Grandmasters, and they all declined for various reasons, either because of family obligations or personal matters that made it inconvenient to follow Glen Wolfe.

Greg Jensen was puzzled and only after talking with Duncan Kong did he learn that those people simply looked down on him.

They could attach themselves to the Stuart Family, but wouldn’t follow Greg Jensen.

The Stuart Family was powerful, the family prosperous, with many male members; even if the Family Head died, there would be others to take over the business.

Glen Wolfe was different; it was just him from start to finish. If he died today, tomorrow there would be no benefits to be had.

Greg Jensen felt somewhat disheartened, was silent for a long time and then looked up to ask, “Are there any half-step Master Realm experts who’ve been on the cusp for a long time without breaking through?”

Duncan Kong pondered and said, “There are some indeed, but people like that have almost all aligned themselves with others to gain more resources to breakthrough into the Master Realm.”

“Aren’t there any who haven’t aligned themselves with someone yet?” Greg Jensen asked.

Duncan Kong thought for a moment and said, “There actually is one, it’s just that his family situation is a bit special.”

Greg Jensen’s eyes lit up as he hastily asked, “What’s the situation with his family?”

“The man is named Terry Cooke; he’s a master of Eight Forms Palm and has been half-step into the Master Realm for ten years. However, his wife has been seriously ill, and he hasn’t shown his face in the martial world for a long time.”

“Seriously ill? What illness?”

Duncan Kong hesitated and said, “I’m not sure about that, but I heard that even after spending all his wealth, he couldn’t cure her.”

“He’s a man of deep affection.”

Greg Jensen sighed and smiled, “Get him to come over; tell him I can cure his wife’s illness.”

“Okay, boss, I’ll get someone to notify him right away.”

Duncan Kong considered Terry Cooke a friend, but they hadn’t been in touch for a long time. It took a lot of effort to track down Terry Cooke’s number through a chain of contacts.

Once the call connected, and Terry Cooke learned it was Duncan Kong calling, he was very happy. But when Duncan Kong explained his purpose, Terry Cooke fell silent.
