The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 571: Chapter 571 Wheel War_1

At dawn, Greg Jensen woke up from his sleep, turned his head to look, and saw that Amande Burns was deep in slumber.

He gave a pleased smile, leaned down to kiss her forehead, then got out of bed to wash up.

While waiting for the hot water, he casually picked up his phone and saw that the Hall Family had sent him a message late last night.

The message said that the other six families might change the rules of the martial arts contest and adopt a gauntlet challenge to drive Greg Jensen out of the Union of Seven Provinces.

Moreover, Drake Stuart from the Stuart Family had returned and was now stirring things up with the other six families.

“A gauntlet challenge? Haha, they wish.”

...

Greg Jensen sneered, then frowned and picked up the phone to call Louisa Burley.

After all, Louisa Burley was his woman, and he didn’t want any more conflicts with the Stuart Family now.

However, the phone rang for a long time with no answer.

“Not up yet?”

Greg Jensen thought for a moment and didn’t mind, figuring that a little Drake Stuart wouldn’t be able to make much of a splash; he could just spare his life if they crossed paths.

He checked his phone again and found another message, but this time from an unknown, unfamiliar number.

Strangely enough, the content of this anonymous message was similar to the one from the Hall Family, warning Greg Jensen to be cautious of the gauntlet challenge and Drake Stuart.

It was understandable for the Hall Family to send a message since they were now allies and might even become related by marriage in the future.

But who had sent this later message?

Only those few families knew the details; was someone among them sending him a tip-off?

Greg Jensen shook his head, feeling that it was unlikely. He thought hard but couldn’t figure it out and simply gave up thinking about it.

After a quick wash, he picked up the still-sleeping Amande Burns and went into the bathroom.

“Hey, what are you…?”

“Hurry up and get up, the martial arts contest of the Union of Seven Provinces starts today. Aren’t you going to watch?”

“Ah, I’m going.”

Amande Burns was promptly awakened by the warm shower water, enjoyed a comfortable hot shower, and then followed Greg Jensen downstairs.

In the dining room, breakfast was already set out on the table, and people like Thomas Lampe and Duncan Kong were eating.

The meals these days were cooked by an assistant, with servants arranged by the Hall Family helping out.

It couldn’t be helped; in these tense times, Greg Jensen didn’t dare let unfamiliar strangers handle his food.

After the meal, they left the villa, boarded the business vehicle prepared by the Hall Family, and headed to the site of the contest.

The venue for the contest was set up in a drill ground beside the town.

In the center of the drill ground, there was a high platform, surrounded by a circle of stands, of which several larger ones were reserved for the participants competing for the title of the Union’s overlord.

Knowing there was a contest to watch today, residents of the small town and some tourists had already entered the stands.

For a time, the originally quite peaceful drill ground suddenly became extraordinarily lively.

After Greg Jensen and the others arrived, they were seated in one of the stands by the Hall Family.

Austin Hall then personally came over and explained the contest rules to Greg Jensen.

This morning, the other families had already approached the Hall Family, proposing additional rules.

Although the Hall Family was a Neutral Clan, serving as referees, their influence had waned over the years, and they had no choice but to agree to the proposal of the other six families.

Therefore, this year’s contest was to follow a challenge match format.

As long as Greg Jensen’s side could win fifteen consecutive matches, the other six families would recognize his status within the Union of Seven Provinces.

“Fifteen matches, three each from every family, right?

Greg Jensen scoffed, “They sure know how to scheme!”

Austin Hall hesitated, then said softly, “If you don’t agree, you can dispute it and fight them over it.”

Xavier Cooper was also very unhappy, following up with, “That’s right, boss, they’re blatantly bullying us. Isn’t this just a war of attrition?”

Meanwhile, Duncan Kong, Thomas Lampe, and Terry Cooke also looked toward Greg Jensen, clearly hoping he would confront the other six families.

Greg Jensen scanned the expressions of everyone, and with a smile said, “What’s the matter? Scared? They’re just a bunch of chickens and dogs; you’re scared of that?”

He raised his head, looking at Issac Grey and others dozens of meters away, and said indifferently, “Tell them, I agree!”

“Boss…”

“Grandmaster Louisa!”

Austin Hall wanted to persuade him further, but seeing the full fighting spirit in Greg Jensen, he wisely shut his mouth.

Because outsiders were present, Duncan Kong and others didn’t say anything more. After Austin Hall left, they gathered around.

“Boss, with a war of attrition, we might not be able to cope.”

“Yes, you agreed too hastily.”

Greg Jensen shook his head, looking at them earnestly, and said, “Do you really think that if I didn’t agree, they would compromise?”

“That…”

“No, they wouldn’t.”

Greg Jensen said decisively, “They would just use the opportunity to drive us out of the Union of Seven Provinces.

Since refusal is not an option, why not agree generously? At least that’s straightforward.”

“But boss…”

“No ‘buts’!”

Greg Jensen’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces again, “You are only grandmasters, don’t you want to strive for the Dao realm?

On the path to becoming stronger, there are no ‘buts’ or ‘what ifs’. You cannot shrink back; you can only forge ahead.”

Everyone paused, feeling as if the fiery flames in his deep eyes were about to ignite them as well.

“Boss, I understand!”

Xavier Cooper clenched his teeth, his slightly youthful eyes flaring with fierceness, “Even if it means death, I will definitely win the competition.”

The others also showed a determined look at this moment, filled with fighting spirit in their hearts.

Greg Jensen was very pleased, patting Xavier Cooper’s shoulder, and smilingly said, “It’s very good that you have this resolve, but you don’t need to be too excited; it probably won’t be your turn to fight.”

“What do you mean?” Xavier Cooper asked blankly.

Greg Jensen said indifferently, “Because I plan to be the first to fight.”

Upon hearing this, Thomas Lampe and the others couldn’t help but change their expressions.

Logically speaking, in the face of a war of attrition, the weakest should fight first, and then the fighters should be arranged in order based on the strength of the opponents.

The strongest one, preferably kept for last, could act as an Anchor Needle.

Greg Jensen being the first to fight meant that he was planning to fight fifteen battles in a row.

If an accident occurred later on, Thomas Lampe and the others might not be able to defeat the high-level fighters the opponents had reserved.

Duncan Kong said, “Boss, you’re being too impulsive!”

Xavier Cooper added, “As the saying goes, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I’m the weakest; let me go first and probe the way for you guys.”

“Yes, you should stay till the end to fight.”

This time, even Louisa Burley joined the group trying to persuade him, with everyone disagreeing with Greg Jensen going first.

Greg Jensen slowly shook his head and said, “You don’t need to persuade me anymore; I have my reasons why I must fight.

Get ready, when I am defeated, it will be your turn to fight.”

“Yes, boss!”
