Greg Jensen jumped in fright and quickly stepped aside, âOld Master, this is really shortening my lifespan, I canât bear itâ¦â
Bradley Ford smiled and said, âYou saved the old manâs life, the old man giving you a bow, nobody can say anything about it.â
Greg Jensen could not help but laugh and cry, âThen according to what youâre saying, isnât it our duty as medical practitioners to save lives and help the injured? How can we ask for gratitude?â
Jaden Ford laughed and said, âGrandpa, just stop being so polite with Greg brother, we should hurry and have a meal, arenât you hungry?â
Gurgleâ¦
Before she had finished speaking, a stomach rumble suddenly sounded, and Bradley Fordâs face turned red immediately, saying awkwardly, âI really am hungry, haha.â
âEverything is already prepared at the dining room, I instructed them to prepare medicinal cuisine, you go ahead and have some first.â
âAlright, you all keep chatting.â
Greg Jensen accompanied Jaden Ford and his siblings with tea and conversation, waiting for Bradley Ford to return from his meal before they got up to take their leave.
Greg Jensen and Adrian Wright and others saw the Ford family members to their feet and walked them out.
Bradley Ford suddenly spoke up, âGreg, donât worry about the Simmons familyâs affair, leave it to me, they will definitely give me this face.â
âHaha, then Iâll thank the old master in advance.â
Greg Jensen smiled and thanked him, then thought of something and spoke indifferently, âIf they are ungracious, then you donât need to force them.â
The Simmons family being ungracious?
Patrick Ford and others were all taken aback and couldnât help but stop in their tracks, turning to look at Greg Jensen.
Bradley Ford advised, âThe influence of the Simmons family in the provincial capital is not small, itâs best not to have conflicts with them if itâs not necessary.â
Patrick Ford nodded sagely, âYes, the Simmons family is after all one of the Martial Arts Families, if things do get stiff, it would indeed be troublesome.â
Only Nicolas Ford, thinking of something, asked, âIf the Simmons family is ungracious, what do you plan to do?â
All eyes fell on Greg Jensen.
The corridor suddenly fell silent, as though even the air was about to freeze.
âWhat can I do?â
Greg Jensen raised his head, looked at the several people, then smiled, revealing white teeth, and calmly said:
âSince they are ungracious, then thereâs no choice but to kill, huh.â
Hiss!
Hearing the words âkillâ spoken so easily from Greg Jensenâs mouth, the Ford family members felt a chill run through their bodies, shivering in unison.
For some reason, they did not doubt that Greg Jensen was boasting.
But thatâs the Simmons family!
Can you just talk about killing someone from the Simmons family of the provincial capital so casually?
How could such an outrageous thing be talked about as if itâs as easy as buying vegetables?
After a while, with a grave expression, Bradley Ford looked at Greg Jensen and carefully said, âItâs better to resolve enmity than to perpetuate it, please for the sake of our Ford family, wait patiently for two days, I will definitely give you an answer to this matter.â
âFine, just for the sake of the old masterâs face.â
Greg Jensen smiled once more, the warm smile, like a spring breeze, suddenly dispersed the stagnant air.
Phew!
Bradley Ford took a deep breath, managed a smile, nodded his head, and then got in the car with his son and granddaughter.
After everyone waved goodbye to Greg Jensen through the car window, the business van started with a shake.
Patrick Ford sat in the front seat, watching Greg Jensen through the rearview mirror, still standing there, seeing them off as they drove away.
He couldnât resist turning his head and asked, âDad, about the attitude you took just nowâ¦â
Nicolas Ford and Jaden Ford also looked toward the old master, feeling that his stance was a bit too low in saying those words earlier.
After all, he was the Family Head of the Ford family, was it necessary to be so tense when talking to a twenty-something-year-old young man?
Even if he was a benefactor of the family, they should still treat him as an equal.
Watching his son and granddaughters puzzled, Bradley Ford could only offer a bitter smile, shook his head, and said, âI donât know what came over me, just in that moment, I suddenly felt that the young man seemed likeâ¦â
â`
He pondered for a moment before continuing, âItâs like a knife, a knife sharp beyond compare. It feels as though the slightest movement could lead to instant death.â
âUhâ¦â
The three exchanged glances, looking at each other in confusion.
Jaden Ford couldnât help but ask, âGrandpa, are you saying⦠what Greg said about killing someone, is it true?â
âHow could that be true?â
Patrick Ford shook his head and said, âThatâs the Simmons family weâre talking about. Although theyâre somewhat declining, they are still among the Martial Arts Families.
Even if Greg is powerful, he is just one person. How can he confront an entire family?â
At that moment, Nicolas Ford, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, âNo, I think itâs true!â
The three turned to look at him, only to see Nicolas back to his usual self, with a cold demeanor and a serious expression.
But his clear eyes were filled with a resolute conviction.
Nicolas turned to the others and said, âDonât look at me like that. I donât know why, but when Greg said those words, I just knew they were true.â
âIs it possible for one person to fight against the entire Simmons family?â Patrick probed.
Nicolas suddenly smiled and said, âThen why donât you think about where our familyâs Cultivation Technique came from?â
Hisss!
Upon hearing his words, Patrick couldnât help but suck in a breath of cold air and said, âAre you talking about the power behind him?â
âNot necessarily!â
Nicolas looked out the window and said indifferently, âThe feeling he gave me at the time was that he alone could turn the entire Simmons family on their head.â
The three fell silent, and once again stillness descended in the car.
â¦
After the Fords left, Greg took the old medicines back to the villa and stored them in the safe before he and Lois Abbott went to meet with Damon Milton, the general manager of Thunder Decoration Company.
âRegarding the supermarket renovation, you can just coordinate with Director Abbott when the time comes.â
âAlright.â
Damon Milton smiled and said, âMr. Jensen, rest assured. The old man just called me, and I guarantee that Iâll make the Peach Blossom supermarket project beautiful for you.â
âThen Iâll leave it in your care, Mr. Milton.â
Greg treated Damon Milton to a meal, and afterwards he returned to the villa with Lois.
âIâm dead tired!â
âYouâre tired?â
Greg was somewhat speechless as he hadnât complained about being tired even though he had been busy all day.
Lois said with a giggle, âOf course Iâm tired, I slept too much today, and now I feel uncomfortable all over.â
âHeh, is that so? Want me to help loosen up your bones a bit?â
âAh, noâ¦â
Trey Holmes, seeing this, couldnât help but cover his eyes, yet between the gaps of his fingers, his large and knowing eyes peeked out.
Once back home, Lois wore only a short T-shirt, which after a bit of roughhousing, revealed large patches of her fair skin, causing Gregâs thoughts to race.
However, given that Trey was still present, he reluctantly decided to hold back.
After a while of frolic, both of them plopped down on the couch, out of breath.
Greg said seriously, âIâm going back to Peach Blossom Village tomorrow. Is there anything else here you need my help with?â
âSo soon?â
âNot soon? Tomorrow is Little New Year already.â
Greg was somewhat speechless, then asked, âHey, how come Xiaoxue hasnât returned?â
âYou miss her?â
Loisâs face initially fell, but then she grinned mischievously, âCome on, be honest, are you missing her?â
