Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Master Enters the Battle_1
Thomas Lampe was initially startled by the words, then a hint of joy appeared across his face, and he fell silent afterward, frowning slightly as if pondering something.
“About Xavier Cooper…”
“As long as you explain things clearly, it will be fine. He’s already grown up; you can’t keep hiding it from him forever, can you?”
“But…”
Despite this, Thomas Lampe still hesitated.
Greg Jensen broke the silence, “By doing this, you may feel relieved, but have you thought about Xavier Cooper? In his eyes, he’s just an orphan whose family has been destroyed.
Furthermore, his biological parents were killed right in front of him. Do you think this matter would have a significant impact on a teenager in his teens?”
“I…”
“Enough, listen to me. You go and stay in Jamae City for a while, and talk about it after your health has improved.”
Greg waved his hand, making the decision for Thomas Lampe, then called Theo Carter to immediately send someone to pick up Thomas Lampe and take him to Jamae City.
After settling all of this, Greg Jensen walked straight out of the main house.
Duncan Kong was still waiting in the courtyard. Seeing Greg come out alone, his face drastically changed.
He hurried over, glanced at the door, and asked, “Boss, what about Old Thomas…”
Greg suddenly felt a surge of mischief and pretended to be indifferent, “Killed him!”
“Killed?”
Duncan Kong was stunned. His old friend of more than a decade had just died like that?
“I… I shouldn’t have brought you here. Old Thomas, I…”
Duncan Kong was regretting bringing Greg over because if he hadn’t, Thomas Lampe might not have died.
But before he could finish his sentence, he saw Thomas Lampe, leaning on his crutch, walking out of the house as if nothing was wrong.
Duncan Kong was like someone who had their throat grabbed, his remaining words swallowed down in shock.
“Uh, you’re not dead?”
“Go to hell, if you were dead, I still wouldn’t die!”
Thomas Lampe cursed with a laugh, “You doom and gloom bastard, stop talking nonsense; I’m very much alive.”
Duncan Kong looked at Greg Jensen with a speechless expression, but the latter acted as if he saw nothing and directly got into the car.
He sighed, nodded at Thomas Lampe, and followed him into the car. They then drove away.
Thomas Lampe stood at the entrance of the courtyard, watching the car gradually disappear into the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Thinking of Xavier Cooper also being with Greg, he couldn’t help but smile.
“He’s quite a character! Xavier should be able to do well following him.”
He stood at the gate for a long time, even after the car had vanished from sight, still standing there, lost in thought.
“Heh, everyone says this old frame isn’t ready to die yet, so let’s try to live on. I haven’t seen Xavier get married and have children yet.”
…
This trip to Jamae was originally to recruit Terry Cooke, but unexpectedly, Thomas Lampe was also brought into the fold.
It was truly an unexpected delight.
Moreover, this surprise was even more significant than Terry Cooke’s addition.
After all, Thomas Lampe was a Master-level figure renowned across seven provinces.
If he could cure Thomas Lampe’s illness and have Xavier Cooper, who was also under his wing, mend his relationship with his father, nothing could be better.
By then, Thomas Lampe would undoubtedly be wholeheartedly devoted to him.
Having successfully swayed a Master-level figure to his side, Greg Jensen was in a good mood and became more talkative on the road, casually chatting with Duncan Kong for a while.
When they arrived back at the villa, the sky had completely darkened.
After getting out of the car, Greg Jensen returned to his usual indifference.
Trey Holmes immediately ran over, pulling Greg Jensen around the villa for a tour, showing off his new creations with pride.
“Boss, how is it? Pretty nice, huh?”
“Hmm, indeed not bad.” @@novelbin@@
Greg Jensen gave hollow praise.
Trey Holmes, admiring the decorations around him, boasted, “Luxurious and grand, yet understated with depth. Tsk tsk, I’m really something.”
However, Greg Jensen’s mouth twitched fiercely a few times. Dozens of billions’ worth of precious treasures, even if placed in a restroom, would make it luxurious and grand with depth.
He felt if he stood there any longer, he would certainly die of heartache, so he quickly found an excuse to head down to the gym.
Xavier Cooper was still relentlessly training Brandon Brent and Theo Carter. Theo fared a bit better, having taken Greg’s call just before and used it as an excuse to rest for a while.
Brandon Brent wasn’t so lucky. Aside from lunch and brief breaks, he spent the entire day under Xavier Cooper’s intense regimen.
“You two keep training, I’m going to talk to the boss for a bit. Don’t slack off, or I’ll double the training if I catch you.”
“Yes, Master Cooper.”
Brandon Brent and Theo Carter responded listlessly.
Both of them were older than Xavier Cooper and initially thought of resisting.
But after getting beaten up and left with black and blue faces, they finally recognized the harsh reality.
Xavier Cooper glared at them warningly, then turned to face Greg Jensen with a smile, “Boss, when did you get back from Liangzhou?”
“Just arrived.”
Greg Jensen looked at Xavier Cooper’s somewhat youthful face and said calmly, “Also visited your family.”
Xavier Cooper’s expression changed and after a long silence, he asked, “You… have you seen my Grandmaster?”
“Hmm, I have. He’s dying.”
“What do you mean?”
Xavier Cooper was full of confusion, “Didn’t you promise to help me kill him?”
Greg Jensen said indifferently, “He’s dying soon anyway, advanced liver cancer, probably doesn’t have many days left.”
“Liver cancer?”
Upon hearing this, Xavier Cooper was momentarily stunned, then anger appeared on his face, “Liver cancer is too good for him. Murder requires retribution, Boss…”
“You’d better take a look at this first.”
Greg Jensen took out a file bag, slapped it on him, then turned and went back to the living room, sitting on the couch and drinking the juice that his assistant had brought.
Soon after, Xavier Cooper came over with a darkened face, “Did he give these to you?”
Greg Jensen didn’t hide anything and nodded, “That’s right. If you don’t believe it, you can follow him and check again.”
Having said that, he suddenly remembered something and added, “Oh, right, you can ask Brandon Brent to help with this. Have him check if those two guys are really wanted criminals.”
“Mm, I will check it out.”
Xavier Cooper nodded and went downstairs.
Duncan Kong edged closer, having already heard about the issue between Thomas Lampe and Xavier Cooper on his way over. Seeing Xavier Cooper’s face, he couldn’t help but worry.
“Boss, is the kid okay?”
Greg Jensen said tranquilly, “Others can’t help him with this kind of thing. It’ll be fine once he figures it out for himself.”
“And about Thomas…”
“They can’t see each other for now. I have already arranged a place for Thomas to stay. You don’t need to worry about that. Just keep an eye on Xavier Cooper for me these next few days.”
“Alright, Boss.”
One thing to be said about Duncan Kong, he truly valued loyalty and agreed to it without a second thought.
That night, Theo Carter secretly found Greg Jensen and told him that everything had been arranged in Jamae, and Thomas Lampe had moved into the Carter Family’s villa.
Greg Jensen handed Theo Carter a prescription and told him to arrange for someone to ensure Thomas Lampe took his medication regularly.
After Theo Carter left the room, Greg Jensen laughed silently to himself.
