Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Good Place_1
Carmen Stuart didn’t hesitate and directly said, “Cooperation! As a major household in Qin Province, the Stuart Family cannot stand to watch the talents of Qin Province kill each other over trivial benefits.
Mr. Wolfe is undoubtedly the brightest new star of Qin Province, and I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant.”
This speech was articulate and considerate, affording Greg Jensen enough face that he couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
Greg Jensen’s brows furrowed slightly as he pondered what medicine the Stuart Family was selling in their gourd.
The others, upon hearing this, were even more bewildered.
What’s the situation?
This doesn’t seem like the Stuart Family is here for retaliation and revenge?
Carmen Stuart smiled and said, “Mr. Wolfe, shall we go?”
Greg Jensen looked at her smiling face and couldn’t help but give a slight smile, saying, “Sure, let’s go take a look then.”
After speaking, he addressed the several smaller Family Heads, “Gentlemen, my apologies. I’ll have to make a trip to the Stuart Family’s place. Another day I will host, and we can get together properly.”
“Mr. Wolfe is too kind.”
“Mr. Wolfe, you…”
The crowd was somewhat flattered and hastily responded with courtesy.
Greg Jensen nodded, called Duncan Kong and Xavier Cooper, started his own car, and followed Carmen Stuart’s car to the Stuart Family’s residence.
After Greg Jensen left, those smaller Family Heads got together again, each with grave and puzzled expressions on their faces.
“I say, what’s the Stuart Family up to? Could it be they really want to treat Mr. Wolfe as an honored guest?”
“What are you thinking? That’s the Stuart Family! Troy Milton is related by marriage to the Stuart Family, and Wolfe killed him, which is a slap in the face to the Stuart Family. Can the Stuart Family swallow such an insult?”
“Then what’s this little miss from the Stuart Family playing at with this act?”
“Heh, if you ask me, it’s just to trick Wolfe over there. Once he’s on Stuart territory, whether it’s to steam or to braise him, isn’t that for the Stuart Family to decide?”
Hiss, by that logic, does it mean Wolfe is in deep trouble this time?”
“I think it’s risky.”
“If we had known, we wouldn’t have come today. What a waste of my hundred-year-old ginseng.”
“You still have the mood to pity the ginseng; you should be figuring out how to clear your association with Wolfe.”
“The Stuart Family shouldn’t care about us small fries, right?”
“The Stuart Family certainly won’t, but that doesn’t mean the Milton Family will let it go.”
“The Miltons? Who from the Milton Family is still around?”
“Isn’t there still Naomi Milton and Uncle Stuart? Looks like it’s going to cost a fortune this time!”
…
On the return journey, Trent Preston did not follow but instead went to find Simon Cooper.
Upon learning that Greg Jensen had actually gone to the Stuart Family’s residence, Simon Cooper’s face changed color and said, “What do you think the Stuart Family is up to?”
Trent Preston looked deeply worried and replied, “It’s hard to say. A few days ago, Carmen Stuart came by once but didn’t get to see Mr. Wolfe.
Before she left, she warned me not to tell anyone about her visit.
This time, she called me early in the morning, asking me to personally take her to see Mr. Wolfe. I had no choice, how could I refuse?”
After that, he recapitulated the encounter between the two.
Simon Cooper listened and frowned even more, as he too didn’t believe that the Stuart Family would receive Greg Jensen with courtesy.
“Old Cooper, I just feel Mr. Wolfe is in a tough spot this time, don’t you think?”
Trent Preston said anxiously, “The Stuart Family’s posture is so low; there’s definitely something fishy.
Could it be that they’ve deliberately lured Mr. Wolfe there and then plan to surround and assassinate him with their experts?”
Hearing this, Simon Cooper was also taken aback and said, “The Stuart Family is one of the seven provincial overlords; they shouldn’t be so shameless, right?”
Trent Preston smacked his lips and sighed, “I reckon Mr. Wolfe is really in a bind this time.”
Simon Cooper furrowed his brows and said, “I think you’re overthinking it, Mr. Wolfe will definitely be able to come back.”
“Not to mention he has Duncan Kong and Xavier Cooper by his side, even if he were to visit the Stuart Family alone, he would surely return unharmed.”
Upon hearing this, Trent Preston fell silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke up, “That’s all well and good, but what if something does happen?”
Trent Preston looked up at Simon Cooper.
Simon Cooper met his gaze and shook his head, “There are no ‘what ifs’! A Martial Arts Grandmaster in his twenties, do you think that’s achievable through talent alone?”
“Of course not, just having talent isn’t enough, without resources, he could never become a Grandmaster…”
As he said this, a realization dawned on Trent Preston, and his eyes gradually brightened. “Are you suggesting… Mr. Wolfe has the support of a Sect behind him?”
“I don’t know.”
Simon Cooper shook his head, took in a deep breath, and said, “It could be a Sect or a family; even if he has none of those, he must have some brothers or disciples, right?
With Mr. Wolfe’s monstrous strength, how powerful must his fellow disciples be? And how powerful his master?”
Trent Preston’s expression shifted slightly as he said, “Old Simon, you’re not suggesting Mr. Wolfe could be the disciple of some hermit at the threshold of the Dao, are you?”
“That, I really have no idea about.”
Simon Cooper said meaningfully, “Whatever the case, Mr. Wolfe will surely return.”
After hearing Simon Cooper’s words, Trent Preston’s confidence in Greg Jensen grew significantly, and he felt much more at ease, breaking into a big grin.
…
The Stuart Family was shrouded in mystery in the eyes of many, and even ordinary wealthy people were unaware of their existence.
Even in the eyes of people like Simon Cooper, the Stuart Family was considered a secretive estate.
For in the Martial Way aristocratic families of Qin Province, aside from Nathan Green and Troy Milton, no one else was truly qualified to be invited to the Stuart Estate.
Greg Jensen had never been there before, so he could only follow Carmen Stuart’s car ahead, genuinely curious about where exactly the Stuart Family was located and what it looked like.
After roughly an hour, Greg Jensen suddenly noticed a mountain appearing in front of them.
It was not a very tall mountain, only about three to four hundred meters high, lush and green, brimming with pine trees.
A straight asphalt road ran right into the heart of the small mountain.
Tailing the car in front, they drove along the asphalt road into it.
Before long, a vast estate emerged amid the woods on the mountain ahead, partially hidden from view.
The Stuart Family estate was incredibly large, wasn’t it?
Greg Jensen rolled down the window to look outside, but the next second, his expression completely froze.
Nature’s Spiritual Energy!
Though not extraordinarily dense, it was at least two to three times higher than in the provincial city area.
“What a great place!” Greg couldn’t help but exclaim.
If he could cultivate here every day, his cultivation speed would at least double.
“What’s so great about it? It’s just a backwater place,” Xavier Cooper scoffed.
Duncan Kong couldn’t help but snort, “You don’t know anything! This place is extremely suitable for martial artists to cultivate. If you could practice here, you’d progress several times faster than outside.” @@novelbin@@
“Is it really that miraculous?”
Xavier Cooper was still somewhat unconvinced, but Duncan Kong didn’t wish to continue explaining.
Greg Jensen spoke up, “Old Kong’s right, this place is indeed very suitable for cultivation.”
“Uh…” Xavier Cooper had nothing to counter with.
At this moment, the car, following Carmen Stuart’s vehicle, took a turn ahead.
The next second, Greg Jensen’s gaze involuntarily sharpened.
What do you think?
