Chapter 383: Chapter 381: 381 My Fate Has Always Been Tough_1

Glen Wolfe’s face looked rather ugly. His own family was hosting the exchange meeting, and now his son didn’t pay for what he ate—wasn’t this a slap in the face to the Wolfe family?

“Unfilial son, I’ll deal with you when we get home!”

He glared coldly at Kole Wolfe, and then his expression softened slightly as he smiled at Greg Jensen and said,

“My young friend, my son is naughty. Please don’t mind him. How much for that elixir? I’ll have someone transfer the money to you right away.”

“Not much, three million per pill. Your son gave me three hundred thousand earlier, you just need to give me another two million seven hundred thousand.”

“How much?”

Glen Wolfe’s expression instantly froze as he asked subconsciously, “What kind of elixir is so expensive?”

Greg Jensen said indifferently, “A qi-blood pill. It replenishes blood, boosts qi, and can even increase one’s power. Don’t you think that’s worth three million?”

“Increase power?”

Glen Wolfe was taken aback again, his gaze turning increasingly icy as he looked once more at Kole Wolfe.

Kole Wolfe had always been afraid of his father. Feeling that look, he couldn’t help but shrink his neck:

“The effects of replenishing blood and boosting qi are there, but as for increasing power… I didn’t feel it.”

Greg Jensen scoffed, “How can you experience any power increase when you haven’t even reached the Dark Strength Period, and your Dantian isn’t open? The qi-blood pill in your stomach will only transform into qi and blood to nourish your body.”

Kole Wolfe retorted, “It’s not as magical as you say. That pill of yours only gave me a slight sensation at best, nowhere near as good as you claim.”

Greg Jensen curled his lips disdainfully, “That’s because your body has long been hollowed out by indulgence in wine and sex. You can’t handle supplementation; you’ve just wasted one of my qi-blood pills.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Enough!”

“Dad, it’s really not my fault. That broken pill, I gave him three hundred thousand and he still wasn’t happy, insisting on three million from me!”

Kole Wolfe kept arguing his point.

With a cold face, Glen Wolfe asked, “I’m asking you, did he or did he not tell you before you took that elixir that it costs three million per pill?”

Fearing his father, Kole Wolfe lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, “He… he said so.”

“And when you bargained down to three hundred thousand, did he agree?”

“No.”

Hearing his son’s words, Glen Wolfe understood everything. His face became as cold as frost as he angrily said, “You bring shame upon us. You deserve to be cheated to death! Get back home!”

Upon hearing this, Kole Wolfe didn’t dare to retort any longer and dejectedly walked towards the exit.

Seeing this, his fair-weather friends immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Glen Wolfe gestured to a person who looked like a steward nearby, then pointed at Greg Jensen and said coldly, “Transfer him two million seven hundred thousand.”

After that, he gave Greg Jensen another cold look, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

The steward took Greg Jensen’s bank card number and then transferred the money using a tablet.

After the transaction, he leaned in close and whispered in a very low voice, “Kid, the money’s easy to take but not so easy to spend. Watch your step in the dark; it’s slippery out there.”

Greg Jensen looked at his bank card balance and revealed a beaming smile, “No worries, I have tough luck. As for your young master, he’s probably going to get a beating when he gets back, haha.”

“Fine, we’ll just wait and see!”

The steward snorted angrily through clenched teeth and walked away, fuming.

When the others saw the steward leave, they immediately gathered around, and someone asked, “Bro, does your pill really increase True Qi?”

“Of course, it’s a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation. Everyone in my family uses it. If it weren’t for the money shortage, I really wouldn’t have wanted to sell it.”

Greg Jensen boasted ostentatiously, leaving the crowd confused and mesmerized, before he laughed and said, “Are any of you interested in buying one?”

“No thanks, I’ll keep looking.”

“Yeah, I think I’ll pass. I’m waiting for the auction of the Healington elixirs.”

Watching the people disperse, Greg Jensen sighed with a touch of resignation, “Seems like there won’t be any business made today after all.”

He shook his head but didn’t seem to care too much.

The cost of producing these qi-blood pills was around ten million. Now that he had recouped three million, if he couldn’t sell the rest, he’d just keep them for himself to eat like candy.

“`

He was already at the seventh level of Qi Refinement and wasn’t far from Foundation Establishment; he had to use this time to gather all the ingredients for the Foundation Building Pill.

The main ingredient for the Foundation Building Pill was already in hand, but the supplementary ingredients were also quite expensive, and many herbs had become extinct; it wasn’t even certain if they could be found.

Greg Jensen had roughly estimated that the cost of a single Foundation Building Pill would be at least ten million.

Some extinct herbs might cost a fortune to acquire, so this estimate was just a rough one; he was prepared to pay several times this amount.

At this moment, Mick Simmons came over and asked tentatively, “Mr. Jensen?”

Greg Jensen laughed and said, “How did you know it was me?”

“Qi Blood Pill, oh.”

Mick Simmons seemed to want to laugh but didn’t manage to, his mouth twitched and he quickly reined it back in.

“My dad asked me to come over and see if there’s anything you need help with.”

Greg Jensen shook his head and laughed, “There’s no need for help, if I get into a fight with the Wolfe family, you guys should just stay away to avoid getting hurt.”

“Uh…”

Mick Simmons was baffled and didn’t know how to respond.

Fearing that he might worry, Greg Jensen explained, “I’m serious, when the time comes, keep your distance so you don’t drag me down.”

Mick Simmons was stunned again, then he gave a bitter smile and nodded, “I understand what you mean.”

“Alright, you can go.”

“Okay.”

Mick Simmons knew that Greg Jensen was worried about dragging the Simmons family into trouble, which filled his heart with warmth.

He’s treating the Simmons family as his own!

“Let me tell you, three million, not a penny less. Take it or leave. If not, get lost early.”

Mick Simmons was stunned and looked back in astonishment, only to see that Greg Jensen was speaking to him. After a moment’s thought, he realized this was to avoid raising suspicion.

Mr. Jensen is really considerate!

Moved to tears, Mick Simmons was ready to go through fire and water for him, but Greg Jensen hadn’t thought that way at all; instead, he regarded him as family.

What he didn’t know was that at this moment, Greg Jensen was feeling rather troubled.

In the past, he would never have done these things, but now that he’d slept with their girl, he felt an obligation to look after her.

“Quick, the envoy from Healington has arrived.”

At this moment, someone shouted, and the whole place went silent instantly, everyone’s eyes turned toward the entrance.

A moment later, Glen Wolfe and a middle-aged man walked in.

The middle-aged man was not tall and had a mature demeanor that wasn’t strikingly handsome or ugly, but he walked with a leisurely, imposing air.

By his side, there was an elderly man, tall and imposing, with a stern expression; his vigilant gaze swept around before he finally relaxed slightly.

Greg Jensen guessed that this senior was probably a protector, assigned specifically to safeguard the middle-aged man.

On the other side of the middle-aged man, Glen Wolfe was slightly bending his waist to match the height of the middle-aged man, his face plastered with a sycophantic smile, showing great respect.

“Is this your first visit to Qin Province? I’ll host dinner tonight and let you taste the local cuisine.”

“Hmm, no need for such trouble,” the middle-aged man said haughtily, “getting things done well is better than anything.”

“Yes, you’re right,” Glen Wolfe responded with a forced smile and then asked, “May I know how many elixirs you’ve brought this time and how you plan to sell them?”

“Let’s stick to the usual procedure,” the middle-aged man said.

“Alright, so we’ll arrange for the auction at the climax as usual?”

Glen Wolfe was carefully asking for the middle-aged man’s opinion when he saw the latter suddenly turn his head to one side and walked directly in that direction.

Glen was puzzled and quickly followed.
