Hiss!
The Morris family was completely shocked!
After a brief silence, the living room suddenly exploded into commotion.
âHow is this possible?â
âHeâs been disabled for so many years, and even if he recovered from his illness, how could he possibly become a half-step Grandmaster?â
Leon Morrisâs face turned red with anger as he grabbed Elliot Morrisâs collar, fuming,
âIâve worked so hard for so many years, yet Iâm still hovering at the Peak of Dark Power.
Fraser Simmons has been lying in bed for several years, so why the hell can he become a half-step Grandmaster? Tell me, why?â
He was truly furious. Even when Fraser Simmons was not ill, the Morris family had been suppressed by the Simmons family.
Finally, after Fraser Simmons became disabled and he had successfully reached the Peak of Dark Power, when it was his turn to shine, that old man unexpectedly got ahead of him again.
âDad, I⦠I donât know, I really donât know.â
Elliot Morrisâs face was pale, and he was already drenched in cold sweat.
Even now, thinking about the scene of Vince Brentâs murder still terrified him, because Fraser Simmons could have easily killed him at the time.
Who asked him to be so mouthy?
A Grandmaster is not to be insulted, and those who do must die!
Even if they killed him, the Morris family wouldnât dare to let out a fart.
â¦
Inside the Morris familyâs living room, it once again fell silent, as if even the air was about to solidify.
Even those in the Morris family who had not cultivated the Martial Way knew what it meant to be a half-step Grandmaster. Thinking about what they had done to the Simmons family over the years, the Morris family members shuddered with fear.
In the past, they bullied the Simmons family for lacking high-end fighters and snatched away quite a few properties; even Hazel Simmons, who had married into the Morris family, suffered as a result.
Now that Fraser Simmons had become a half-step Grandmaster, would there be any good days left for the Morris family?
Leon Morrisâs face turned ashen as he bowed his head, lost in thought.
Jasper Morris glanced thoughtfully at his father and suddenly said, âDad, I think thereâs something fishy about Fraser Simmons becoming a half-step Grandmaster.â
âDo you still need to tell me that? Do you think your father doesnât know thereâs something wrong with this situation?â Leon Morris looked up and cursed.
Jasper Morris swallowed his saliva and bravely continued, âDad, do you think Fraser Simmonsâs becoming a half-step Grandmaster has something to do with that young man?â
âImpossible!â
Leon Morris shook his head, âHealington is powerful, but they canât possibly have the method to become a half-step Grandmaster; otherwise, they would have dominated the Martial World by now.â
Jasper Morris pondered for a moment, then continued, âDad, youâre right about that. But no matter what, that young man definitely knows how Fraser Simmons became a half-step Grandmaster.
If we can find that young man, maybe we can learn that secret.â
Upon hearing his eldest sonâs words, Leon Morrisâs eyes suddenly brightened, and he exclaimed with surprise,
âRight, that youngster is a doctor, so he must know Fraser Simmonsâs physical condition the bestâ¦â
Jasper Morris suggested, âDad, we need to act quickly on this matter; otherwise, if that kid leaves Qin Province, it will be difficult for us to find him.â
âExactly, exactly, go and search for me now! Even if you have to turn Qin Province upside down, find that kid for me.â
The Morris family members dispersed immediately.
At this moment, a weak voice asked, âDad, what about the Jamae pharmaceutical factory?â
âWhat, you want your father to personally deliver it to Fraser Simmons?â Leon Morris said angrily.
Jasper Morris quickly replied, âDad, letâs not have any conflicts with the Simmons family for now. Itâs just a pharmaceutical factory; if he wants it, let him have it.â
âYou make it sound so easy!â
Leon Morris glared at him, then coldly turned to Elliot Morris, âYou go deliver the agreement later.â
âAlright.â
Elliot Morris hastily agreed.
Leon Morris looked at him again, then walked over to the window, gazing out into the night with a deep and thoughtful look, and murmured softly, âFraser Simmons, your damn luck is really something!â
â¦
The stillness of the night enveloped the provincial capital, yet undercurrents surged in the dark.
The Morris family had mobilized nearly all their connections, searching for the young man who treated Fraser Simmonsâs illness.
Before long, this news had reached the ears of other major families.
Driven by curiosity, the entire provincial capital sprang into action.
Meanwhile, the main character of this whirlwind, Greg Jensen, had already returned to his quad-style house in Jamae City, immersed in a tumultuous sea.
âAlright, alrightâ¦â
Liliana Grey climbed out of the blankets, limping as she got out of bed, dodging Gregâs teasing hands, and laughed:
âBig brother, youâre not up to it today, huh? Did you plant too many seeds in other fields?â
âMe? Not up to it? If youâre so capable, then donât run!â
âHaha, Iâm not playing with you. Iâm going to take a bath. I feel all sticky and uncomfortable.â
Watching Liliana flee to the bathroom, a wry smile appeared on Gregâs lips. His trip to the provincial capital had indeed worn him out.
Not only did he have to treat Fraser Simmonsâs illness, but he also had to help him modify his cultivation technique. Not to mention his True Qi was exhausted, countless brain cells had also perished.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, the rewards had been substantial.
Westland Pharmaceuticals and Jamae Pharmaceuticals were the two largest pharmaceutical companies in Jamae City. Taking over these two companies equated to ruling Jamaeâs pharmaceutical industry.
From the cultivation of medicinal materials, initial processing, to the final product, everything was under Gregâs control, verging on a monopoly.
The best thing in the world to do is to have a monopoly, where both the market and the pricing are completely within oneâs grasp. You can play the game however you wish.
It was foreseeable that the two pharmaceutical factories, along with the medicinal material base and processing, this entire industrial chain, would bring in over a hundred million in income for Greg each year.
The other businesses of Peach Blossom Group would yield profits no less than this number.
Add to that the Peach Blossom Supermarket, the vegetable base, and the Dreamscape Garden, earning three to four hundred million a year was not a problem.
At this point, Greg could finally catch his breath and not have to worry about money anymore.
Being financially robust, he had allocated five million just for the medicinal materials needed to refine Qi-boosting pills. Once he had them all ready, he could focus on breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
Of course, besides the Qi-boosting pills, Dual Cultivation was indispensable.
The only issue now was that spending all day running between several women was a bit of a waste of time.
If he practiced Dual Cultivation with only one woman, she might not be able to handle it.
âIt would be nice to have someone with a bit more stamina.â
The image of Taylor Ware suddenly came to mind, her slender figure, the smooth lines of her muscles, all of which looked incredibly robust.
He shook his head, dispelling the thought from his mind.
Taylor was his key lieutenant. If she became unable to work because of this, who would help him make money?
Greg glanced towards the bathroom. The frosted glass door cast a silhouette of a voluptuous body.
A thought struck him, and he quietly got out of bed and entered the bathroom.
âAh, stop itâ¦â
A yelp rose, soon turning into the sound of water.
Greg wrapped his arms around Liliana from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, and whispered, âLet me teach you something.â
âIâm not learning it!â
Liliana, thinking he was up to some new trick, immediately rejected without a second thought.
âItâs not what youâre thinking, itâs for exercising the body.â
Greg placed his hand on her back, slowly transferring a stream of True Qi, and softly said, âCome on, breathe with my rhythm, slowlyâ¦â
âMmm, okay, but⦠this feels so weirdâ¦â
Liliana felt as if something was flowing through her body, causing a tingling sensation wherever it moved, a mix of discomfort and bliss.
A moment later, she suddenly realized that her weary body seemed to be gradually regaining strength.
Gregâs idea was simpleâsince there was no suitable partner for Dual Cultivation, he would just train one himself.
