âJulia Hall, whatâs the situation?â
Asher Green and the others quickly came over.
Julia Hall pointed at Greg Jensen and said, âMr. Green, this car has been following us since the airport, itâs been trailing us the whole way.â
âBrother, where are you from?â
Asher Green looked at Greg Jensen with a displeased expression, while Julia Hall and Lauren Barnett were also full of caution.
Only Samantha Adams seemed to have thought of something, showing a contemplative expression.
Greg Jensen glanced at them and then walked into the hotel without saying a word.
Cole Barnett followed behind him, and as he passed by Julia Hall, he gave a cold chuckle that sent shivers down Juliaâs spine.
Watching the two menâs retreating figures, Julia Hall couldnât help but curse, âAiden Clark, what kind of people are they, did we just meet two mutes?â
Asher Green frowned slightly and said, âFinding the Holmes familyâs ancestor is important, letâs not worry about other things for now.â
Having said that, he turned his head to look at Samantha Adams, about to speak, but saw her staring at Greg Jensenâs back.
âMiss Adams, are you alright?â
âOh, Iâm fine. Letâs go inside too.â
Samantha Adams smiled and walked into the hotel.
Asher Green frowned in suspicion and quickly followed her inside.
â¦
Cole Barnett said to the young receptionist with a grin, âIâd like to stay in room 305, five is my lucky number.â
âRoom 305 is available, but,â
The receptionist glanced at Asher Green and the others nearby and said, âBut we donât have that many adjacent rooms available if youâre together, youâ¦â
Asher Greenâs face darkened and he said, âWeâre not together.â
âAh, youâre not together?â
The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, âSorry, I thought you were together. I was wondering how to arrange you all close to one another.â
âEnough, hurry up and check them in,â Julia Hall said, somewhat impatiently.
âSure.â
â¦
Max Milton and Quinton Creed were staying upstairs, but to avoid suspicion, they did not show their faces.
After the rooms were assigned, Greg Jensen and Cole Barnett took the elevator to the third floor, barely even glancing at Samantha Adams and the others.
Shortly after they entered their room, Quinton Creed and Max Milton came in.
âBossâ¦â
The two greeted him simultaneously.
Greg Jensen nodded and asked, âYeah, whatâs the situation now?â
âThat kid has been quiet since he checked into the hotel a few days ago, as if heâs waiting for someone.â
âRight, there have been two or three people dropping by in the meantime. They seem to be his accomplices.â
Greg Jensen pondered for a moment, his eyebrows easing, and said, âThe person they are waiting for should have arrived.â
Cole Barnett said in surprise, âBoss, are you talking about those few people who came on the same flight as us?â
âYes, it should be them.â
Greg Jensen took a deep breath and instructed, âMax Milton, you two go back first, and keep an eye on the situation across.â
âIf the person that kidâs waiting for is Samantha Adams, they will definitely come to find him.â
âGot it, Iâll go now.â
After the three left, Greg Jensen quickly arranged his backpack and then took out a few Qi and Blood Pills to start cultivating.
After reaching the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, the efficacy of the Qi and Blood Pills had significantly decreased; it was only because the medicinal herbs for the Qi Condensing Pill were incomplete that he hadnât started making them.
Greg Jensen had entrusted the collection of the medicinal herbs to Ivan Finn, the owner of Jade Hall.
Now it seemed, his business dealings were too small; it was normal that he couldnât find some of the rarer herbs.
After thinking for a moment, Greg Jensen made a call to Fraser Simmons, asking for his help in collecting the herbs needed for the Qi Condensing Pill.
After hanging up, he took a few more Qi and Blood Pills and continued cultivating.
By the time the sky had completely darkened, the knock at the door sounded once more.
Cole Barnett said somewhat excitedly, âBoss, you were right; the guy that kid was waiting for is the ones from the airplane.â
âWhat do we do now?â Quinton Creed asked.
Max Milton, knowing that Greg Jensen was looking for treasures, thought for a moment and said, âIf you ask me, we should just follow them tomorrow, or we could simply kidnap them and have them take us there.â
Greg Jensen hesitated briefly, then said, âForget it, Iâll just go talk to them directly. If they donât agree, weâll just force our way along.â
His expression turned slightly cold as he added indifferently, âIf they dare resist, then weâll just have to teach them a lesson.â
After speaking, he stood up, walked over to Room 309, and knocked on the door.
â¦
Inside Room 309.
âLet me start by saying that Iâve already been in that tomb once, and Iâve sold everything I took from there, so itâs impossible for me to retrieve those items for you.
I didnât go too deep into the tomb. There seemed to be poisonous miasma inside, and we lost three brothers. We barely made it to the tombâs entrance, only to see several corpses lying there.
The situation was chaotic at the time, so we just grabbed a few items and got out.â
Johnie Milton was explaining the situation inside the ancient tomb.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Johnie Milton immediately tensed up, causing the others to feel nervous as well.
He cautiously approached the door and asked, âWho is it?â
âOpen up; letâs make a deal.â
A voice with a magnetic quality rang out.
Johnie Milton then said, âIâm sorry, I donât understand what youâre saying.â
âFine, then Iâll have the patrol come and talk to you!â
âWait a minute, Iâm opening the door now.â
Johnie Milton was startled. If the patrol caught them, it would be big trouble, and he quickly opened the door.
Just as he was about to see who it was, a large hand reached in and pushed him into the room.
Greg Jensen casually shut the door behind him, glanced at everyone, and sneered, âOh, having a meeting, are we?â
âWhy is it you?â
Asher Green furrowed his brow and said, âIt seems we do not know each other, right?â
âIf you donât want the patrol to know about it, then we are acquainted as of now.â
âYouâ¦â
Asher Greenâs expression darkened. With their status, even if they were dragged into the patrol office, it wouldnât be much of a problem, but this trip to Danu would have been in vain.
âWhat do you want?â
Greg Jensen looked at Asher Green, then at Samantha Adams, and said indifferently, âAmong these people, are you the one who has the final say?â
âYes!â
Asher Green glanced at Samantha Adams beside him; seeing that she didnât speak, he felt slightly relieved and said gravely, âSpeak, what exactly do you want?â
Greg Jensen said indifferently, âI know youâre going to a big tomb, and Iâd like to join in and take a look.â
Asher Greenâs face changed again, and he said coldly, âIâm sorry, I donât know what youâre talking about.â
Greg Jensen pointed at Johnie Milton and said, âWe followed him here, and he was tailed. Without our help, he might never have made it to Danu.
So, he owes us a favor, and this tomb is now our destination!â
âWho the hell are you to say youâll go just like that?â
Julia Hall stood up impatiently and said, âGet lost now, or I wonât be polite anymore!â
Greg Jensen remained silent, his expression calm as he looked at Asher Green.
Asher Greenâs expression was extremely unpleasant. He was worried about being reported if he didnât allow Greg and his group to go, yet he was also afraid of potential mishaps along the way.
For a moment, he was quite indecisive.
Samantha Adams looked at Asher Green, then spoke up, âThen letâs go, but we have the first right of choice.â
Greg Jensen glanced at her and shook his head, âImpossible.â
