The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 523: Chapter 523 Unexpected Gains_1

“Naturally, it’s to avenge Old Master Stuart.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the others couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

When Humphrey Wanzhou spoke of avenging Old Master Stuart, he didn’t mention returning the Stuart family to their dominant place in the Seven Provinces.

Killing Barry Wolfe meant that only six families were left in the Union of Seven Provinces.

The cake is only so big, and it’s much better to split among six than seven.

As for avenging Old Master Stuart, that was just an excuse to keep others from joining the Union of Seven Provinces.

...

Among the families of the Seven Provinces, the Humphrey family was at the bottom, so its gains were greatest with the fall of the Stuart family. Therefore, Humphrey Wanzhou was the most jubilant.

Harper Harrison hesitated, “But, I’ve heard that kid Barry Wolfe is not to be trifled with.”

“What’s there to fear? He’s just a junior Grandmaster.”

Humphrey Wanzhou spoke unconcernedly, “The Seven Provinces Martial Contest requires five experts. How many people does that kid have? ”

“We don’t need to kill him outright; just make him lose face at the Martial Contest.”

“That’s right, just beat him down and see what he’ll use to vie for a seat in the Union of Seven Provinces.”

Hearing what the others said, Harper Harrison nodded in silence, smiling at everyone, yet his eyes still carried a hint of worry.

Once the main course of action was decided, the group ate and drank before dispersing.

After Humphrey Wanzhou got into his car, he said to the butler in the passenger seat, “Keep an eye on the Grey province.”

“Yes, master.”

The butler hesitated for a moment before asking, “If the chance arises, should we take direct action?”

“If there is an opportunity, finish him. If not, just cause him some trouble. Make sure he can’t spare the time to participate in the Seven Provinces Martial Contest.”

Humphrey Wanzhou looked outside, waved through the glass at Isaac Grey, and then turned his head to continue speaking, “One less family to deal with; we can live comfortably for a few more years.”

“Understood.

…

“Boss, the Stuart family… they’ve all moved out. Do you want to move in?”

The news of Old Master Stuart’s downfall had already spread throughout the Seven Provinces of the Northwest.

While other provinces might just see it as entertainment, for the martial families of the Grey province, it was like a change in the heavens.

The day after Greg Jensen returned from the Stuart estate, the wealthy of the entire Grey province, carrying gifts, came to visit one after another.

From morning until night, without a pause, the threshold of the Simmons family mansion was nearly worn down.

Greg Jensen was in a bad mood and didn’t see anyone the previous night, except for the few who were waiting at the villa; the rest were turned away.

It was only after several days, when Greg Jensen’s mood had slightly improved, and the Stuart family had moved out of the estate, did he have Glen Wolfe summon a few Family Heads.

In the teahouse, Greg Jensen tinkered with the tea set on his own, while Old Hu and others didn’t dare to make a sound.

After a long while, he slowly lifted his head and his indifferent gaze swept across everyone’s faces, finally settling on Old Hu.

“Old Hu…”

Hearing Greg Jensen call him, Old Hu shuddered, snapping back to reality with a forced smile, “Grandmaster Jensen, I’m here. Just give me your orders.”

“I heard that you had the best ideas when I visited the Stuart family,” said Greg Jensen.

Old Hu’s face turned white all at once, and he said with a forced laugh, “Grandmaster Jensen, who’s spreading such rumors… That’s not true at all. I was sick that day, which is why I wasn’t waiting for you at the villa…”

Greg Jensen lifted his head again, eyeing him sidelong, and said, “Did I say something?”@@novelbin@@

“I…”

Old Hu’s face grew even paler, and his lips began to quiver.

That night, upon finding out that Greg Jensen had returned, he had rushed over, wanting to pay his respects, only to find he couldn’t even get through the door.

These days, he had been living in fear, dreading a reckoning would come after fall.

He had thought that after so many days had passed, everything was fine, but the day he feared still arrived.

Now he practically felt his guts turning green with regret. Had he known that Barry Wolfe was so powerful, not even the Stuart Family could stand against him, he wouldn’t have talked so big at the time and instead should’ve clung to this powerful ally.

Old Hu regretted his past actions and was trembling, his lips quivering as he tried to explain, but not knowing what to say, he ended up showing a smile uglier than tears.

“Grandmaster Wolfe, I…”

Greg Jensen waved his hand and picked up the fairness cup, personally pouring tea for him, and then said,

“I don’t want to dwell on the past, but I hope you’ll conduct yourself prudently from now on.

If I find even a hint of misconduct from you again, don’t blame me, Barry Wolfe, for not showing any mercy.”

Hearing these words, Old Hu shook with excitement, repeatedly assuring, “Grandmaster Wolfe, rest assured, I will certainly do my job well in the future, and I dare not harbor any disloyalty.”

“Mmm, have some tea.”

“Yes, thank you Grandmaster Wolfe.”

Old Hu expressed his profound gratitude and then, without regard for the heat, picked up the cup and drained it in one gulp.

Greg Jensen then glanced at the others and waved his hand, saying, “Alright, I’m tired. You all can go.”

“Yes.”

Old Hu and the others quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and then turned to leave.

Glen Wolfe, who had been sitting to the side, couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, you’re just letting him off like this?”

“What else? What good does it do us to kill him?”

“But…”

Greg Jensen shook his head and pushed the full teacup toward Glen Wolfe, “Old Wolfe, you’ve followed me for a few months, and the Wolfe family has risen from the bottom of the four great families to the leader of the four great families…”

“Boss, I…”

With the downfall of the Green and Milton Families, Glen Wolfe, by virtue of being one of the first to follow Greg Jensen, received the greatest benefits.

Suddenly hearing Greg Jensen bring this up, he thought the boss was dissatisfied with him and immediately panicked.

Greg Jensen waved his hand and smiled, “These are all deserved by you, just take them with ease.

What I want to tell you is not to be fickle, don’t worry about other matters, just focus on growing your industries.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Cold sweat ran down Glen Wolfe’s back as he desperately recalled his recent actions to see if he had done anything wrong.

After thinking for a while, he realized that although the Wolfe family had gained many industries and wealth, he had always been cautious and hadn’t done anything inappropriate.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly froze, feeling a chill run up from the soles of his feet.

Curtis Milton!!!

The man from Healington!

Originally, Greg Jensen had handed Curtis Milton over to him to be dealt with, but since he was cautious, fearful of offending Healington by killing him, he secretly let the man go.

This incident had nearly slipped his mind, but Greg Jensen’s scare brought it all back to him.

Thump!

Without a second thought, Glen Wolfe knelt in front of Greg Jensen, his voice tearful as he said, “Boss, I was really confused, please spare me for Jiaojiao’s sake!”

Greg Jensen was initially startled, “Old Wolfe, what are you doing?”

“Boss, Curtis Milton from Healington… he’s not dead…”

Glen Wolfe, not daring to hide anything, quickly confessed the matter of letting Curtis Milton go, even clearly explaining his mindset at the time.

A flicker of surprise crossed Greg Jensen’s eyes; he was only casually pressing Glen Wolfe, not expecting this inadvertent revelation.
