The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 533: Chapter 533: The Secret of the Lin Family_1

Greg Jensen’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he turned to look at the newcomer.

The speaker was a young man in his twenties with good looks and physique, but his eyes were triangular and filled with mockery, which made people feel somewhat annoyed.

A young man of similar age followed at his side.

He had a handsome and sunny appearance, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had a gentle smile on his face that was refreshing like a spring breeze.

“Norman Davis, shut up, don’t always joke about people’s pain!”

He glared at his companion and said with a smile to Theresa Locke: “Theressa, you know Norman’s mouth, don’t mind him.”

Theresa Locke looked at Norman Davis expressionlessly and nodded silently.

The man smiled again, turned his head to Greg Jensen with a look of hesitation, and said, “This is…”

“This is my friend, Barry Wolfe.”

Theresa Locke said indifferently: “Greg, this is Robin Hayes, the eldest son of the Hayes Family.”

Robin Hayes extended his hand with a smile and said: “Haha, so it’s Mr. Wolfe, hello.”

“Uh, hello.”

Greg Jensen ignored the hand Robin Hayes had extended and casually nodded his head as a greeting.

The irritated Norman Davis at the side burst out angrily: “Mr. Hayes is offering you a handshake, are you disrespecting him or what?”

“Norman Davis!”

Robin Hayes’s brows wrinkled slightly, then quickly returned to normal as he withdrew his hand nonchalantly, and with a smile asked, “Is this your first time in Mystic City, Mr. Wolfe?”

“That’s correct, does Mr. Hayes have any advice?”

Greg Jensen narrowed his eyes, a hint of wariness arising in his mind.

Robin Hayes clearly didn’t get along with Theresa Locke, yet he was able to maintain a calm demeanor with a smile; such a person was either a smiling tiger or someone with a generous heart.

Greg Jensen was more inclined to believe the former, for with Theresa Locke’s straightforward and generous nature, if Robin Hayes truly had a generous heart, they wouldn’t be at odds.

Therefore, he simply didn’t show any goodwill toward the other party.

If he didn’t like the person, there was no need to feign politeness.

After all, those not at the innate level are but ants!

Now, Greg Jensen had the right to say this and also had the right to ignore the other party.

Robin Hayes shook his head with a smile and said: “I dare not presume to advise. I simply wish to make friends with Mr. Wolfe. I’ll be hosting a party tomorrow evening and would be honored if Mr. Wolfe could grace us with his presence.”

At his words, Theresa Locke couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious, with an inexplicable sense of loss slowly welling up from the bottom of his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, she said: “Mr. Hayes has many connections locally. If Greg is interested, he could consider checking it out.”

Greg Jensen glanced at Theresa Locke, without any hesitation, and said to Robin Hayes: “Sorry, I’m not available tomorrow.”

Although rejected, Robin Hayes didn’t get angry but said with a smile, “No problem, what about the day after? Whenever Mr. Wolfe is free, that’s when I’ll hold the gathering.”

The people around who heard his words were all surprised, and someone couldn’t help but exclaim: “Is this gathering being held especially for Mr. Wolfe?”

The others also realized and their gaze towards Greg Jensen changed in an instant.

Previously, they mocked Greg Jensen for being a bumpkin who didn’t know the rules, for actually attending a banquet in casual attire.

Now, with the backing of Robin Hayes, Greg Jensen’s image in their eyes had suddenly changed.

“Who is this guy?”

“Not sure, but if he’s someone Mr. Hayes values, he must have something extraordinary about him.”

“Heh, no matter who he is, I’m sure this kid will rise to success very quickly.”

Robin Hayes ignored the surrounding whispers and looked at Greg Jensen with a smile, awaiting his response.

That confidence suggested he was certain Greg Jensen would agree.

The Hayes Family was one of the leading Martial Way families in Mystic City, and he, as the eldest son, believed that the person in front of him, called Barry Wolfe, would definitely accept such an invitation.

In truth, he didn’t know what Barry Wolfe was capable of; he simply felt that if Theresa Locke called him “Greg” so respectfully, there must be something remarkable about him.

The Locke family should have faced a major change by now, no matter how exceptional Barry Wolfe is, just snatch the person first and talk later.

Robin Hayes felt increasingly smug in his heart and finally could not help but speak out, “Well? Think it over?”

“No need, I’m not interested,” Greg Jensen shook his head.

As these words came out, everyone present was shocked!

“He… he actually refused?”

“This young man, what abilities does he have that he dares to refuse Robin Hayes’ invitation?”

The crowd burst into an uproar, all looking at Greg Jensen in disbelief.

They couldn’t understand, Robin Hayes had shown such sincerity, holding a banquet especially for this young man to demonstrate his esteem, why would he refuse?

Robin Hayes’ smile instantly froze on his face, his eyes filled with astonishment, and he subconsciously asked, “Why?”

“Because, you’re not qualified,” Greg Jensen stated indifferently.

At this moment, silence!

The entire banquet hall fell into quiet.

Robin Hayes’ complexion quickly turned grim, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he stared motionlessly at Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen glanced at him indifferently, then turned to the still dazed Theresa Locke, “Shall we go sit over there for a while?”

“Oh, alright.”

Theresa Locke gave Robin Hayes a look, then quickly followed Greg Jensen.

“Brother Greg, you… why did you just refuse?”

Even now, Theresa Locke was still confused, unable to grasp why Greg Jensen had refused, and so decisively at that.

Greg Jensen smiled and said, “I’ve said it before, we are friends. Since you and that person are at odds, how could I associate with him?”

“Brother Greg…”

Tears nearly came to Theresa Locke’s eyes from emotion; he had thought from Greg Jensen’s perspective about many reasons for refusal, but never expected that the reason would be so simple.

Greg Jensen looked at him, his expression gradually turning serious, and asked, “What exactly happened to the Lockes?”

“No… nothing.”

A trace of panic flashed again across Theresa Locke’s face.

Greg Jensen noticed it and frowned, “If you don’t consider me a friend, then don’t bother saying.”

“I…”

“The strength of the Lockes should be comparable to the Hayes family. If there weren’t any major crises in the Lockes, how would Robin Hayes dare to poach right in front of you?”

Without waiting for Theresa Locke to speak, Greg Jensen pierced right through his lies.

Theresa Locke heard this and fell silent.

After a long while, he sighed and whispered, “This matter goes back to five years ago when my grandfather incidentally saved a man.

The man left a box in our care before leaving, then went away, and it’s been five years.

Then just some days ago, someone approached our family demanding we hand over the item.

My grandfather naturally refused, and so…”

“So your grandfather was poisoned?”

“Yes.”

Out of curiosity, Greg Jensen asked, “What exactly is in that box?”

Theresa Locke hesitated for a moment and said, “It seems to be a small Sword about the size of a palm. I heard my grandfather say that if one could comprehend the secret of that little Sword, one could cultivate peerless martial arts.”

“A small Sword?”

Hearing this, Greg Jensen’s heart stirred.

Could it be the Flying Swords?
