â`
Glen Wolfe was stunned for a moment before he snapped back to reality and exclaimed, âThis bane has actually returned. When did he come back?â
âWho has come back?â Polly Milton, Glen Wolfeâs first wife, asked.
âBarry Wolfe, the charming Magician, Barry Wolfe!â
âHe⦠he has returned?â
Glen Wolfe irritably responded, âYouâre asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?â
Pollyâs face turned pale, and with a quivering voice, she asked, âShould I⦠should I return the jewelry then?â
Glen Wolfe was taken aback, âWhat jewelry?â
âWasnât it the reward given to that little⦠â
âHow dare you call her that?â
Startled by Glen Wolfeâs roar, Polly quickly corrected herself, âI meant the jewelry we sent to Chelsea Wolfe. Later, when I saw that Barry was gone, I justâ¦â
âSo you took the jewelry back?â Glen Wolfe said angrily.
Polly retorted, âI⦠I didnât know that Barry would come back. I thought he wasnât coming back at all.â
Smack!
Glen Wolfe, in a fury, slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Polly, and shouted, âThe jewelry was a reward for Chelseaâs contribution to our Wolfe family. What right do you have to take it back?â
âWhy are you yelling at me? That wretch has been eating our Wolfe familyâs rice for so many years; whatâs wrong with having her sleep with someone for one night?
You should be grateful that Barry came back early; otherwise, I had plans to marry that wretch off.â
Smack!
Glen Wolfe, enraged, slapped Polly to the ground and bellowed, âYou can wait for me to deal with you when I get back. For now, go and inform everyone in the house that no one is to bully Chelsea.
Anyone who has taken her things shall return them immediately. Donât wait for Mr. Wolfe to personally make the request; by then, no one can save her.â
âFamily Head of the Wolfe family, I hope you are well?â
Before Glen Wolfe could enter the villa, he heard a hearty laugh coming from inside and responded with a laugh,
âHaha, thanks to Mr. Wolfeâs blessings, Iâ¦â Glen Wolfe cursed to himself in shock as he realized, âMeghan, what are you doing here? This isâ¦â
âUncle, save me, save me!â
Seeing Meghan kneeling on the ground, pleading to him for help, Glen Wolfe suddenly felt a bad premonition.
He swallowed hard, cautiously sidestepped Meghan, and approached Greg Jensen.
Without asking about Meghanâs matters, he tentatively grinned and said, âMr. Wolfe, did you ask for me?â
âTo ask is too bold of a word. You dare ignore my words, how could I dare ask of you?â
Greg glanced at Chelsea standing beside him and said indifferently, âWhere is her jewelry? Where is the villaâs caretaker? And my three cars?â
Glen Wolfeâs forehead was instantly covered in a cold sweat. He quickly said, âMr. Wolfe, please donât panic, Iâll look into it right away. Iâll certainly explain this matter to you.â
Greg waved his hand dismissively and replied, âI donât need an explanation. This time, for Chelseaâs sake, I wonât hold you accountable.
However, youâll need to replace the missing items, understood?â
âUnderstood, understood!â
Glen Wolfe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, directing a grateful glance at Chelsea. He knew it must have been Chelsea who spoke on his behalf, otherwise Barry would not have been so easy to talk to.
Greg pointed at Meghan and stated, âI donât like this person. Deal with her as you see fit. I donât want to see her in the province again.â
âRight away.â
Glen Wolfe quickly left the villa, shouting for two bodyguards to drag Meghan out.
He then returned to Gregâs presence, smiling ingratiatingly, âMr. Wolfe, is there anything else you need?â
Greg replied calmly, âI want to participate in the Martial Way Tournament.â
âAh? The Martial Way Tournament?â
â`
Barry Wolfe was startled, and said in a daze, âWhy are you participating in the Martial Way Conference?â
Greg Jensen looked at him with a smile that wasnât quite a smile, and asked, âWhat about you? Why are you participating in the Martial Way Conference?â
Barry Wolfe suddenly had an epiphany and tentatively asked, âYou meanâ¦â
âI donât have time to manage the company and the industries, so the empire Iâve established will be controlled by your Wolfe family.â
âThisâ¦â
Glen Wolfe was first taken aback, then his heart filled with wild joy. He had seen Barryâs fighting capabilitiesâno matter how far the other could go in the Martial Way Conference, it would be a good thing for the Wolfe family, a great thing in fact.
In Qin Province, the top martial family was only the Green family, and their Wolfe family could only be considered first-rate.
Did Glen Wolfe not want to become a top family?
He dreamt of it!
But his cultivation was laid out there, he simply couldnât beat the Green familyâs old Grandmaster.
If Barry could defeat the old Grandmaster, then the Wolfe family would replace the Green family to become the unique and unrivaled top family in Qin Province.
Even if Barry didnât defeat the old Grandmaster, the Wolfe family would still become the most prominent among the first-rate families.
âMr. Wolfe, as long as you are willing to replace the Wolfe family in the battle, I am willing to do whatever you ask of me.â
âYou just need to help me arrange the affairs of the Martial Way Conference; you donât need to worry about the other things,â Greg Jensen then said, âOh, right, remember to give me the information on the various martial families. I want to take a look.â
âCertainly, I will have someone deliver it immediately.â
As Glen Wolfe spoke, he took out his phone to make a call.
Greg Jensen glanced at the time and said, âNot now, itâs too late. Weâll talk about it tomorrow.â
âAlright, Iâll come over tomorrow morning.â
Glen Wolfe glanced at Chelsea Wolfe next to him, instantly understood what was going on, and didnât dare to stay and disturb any longer; he quickly got up and took his leave.
Only Greg Jensen and Chelsea Wolfe were left in the villa.
Greg Jensen leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest, while Chelsea Wolfe voluntarily came over to him and slowly knelt down.
The night deepened into silence, with only a few crickets chirping incessantly.
A few frogs squatted in the shadows of the forest, lying in wait, shooting out their tongues at flying mosquitoes and quickly retracting them.
Back and forth, several times over, the frogs closed their eyes contentedly. After sufficient rest, they hopped back to their little burrows.
In the distance, a monkey sat atop a termite mound in the cool moonlight, wielding a small stick, poking into the exposed cavities.
The small stick moved in and out of the termite nest, each time bringing out a large number of white termites.
The monkey shouted excitedly, alerting the distant companions to the delicious food here.
After a short while, the woods around the villa were filled with the excited calls of monkeys.
Hearing so many friends arriving, the monkey from before became anxious, quickening the movements of the small stick in its hands.
More and more termites were brought out with the stick.
After an unknowable duration, the forest quieted down as the monkeys who had played wildly for most of the day went home to sleep, and the frogs that had come out to hunt in the night returned to their caves.
In the morning, the chirping of birds awakened all sleeping creatures.
Chelsea Wolfe voluntarily prepared an additional meal for Greg Jensen and then assisted him as he got dressed and washed up.
Once the two were ready, they came downstairs to find that the new housemaid had already prepared an exquisite breakfast, and on the living room coffee table there was a jewelry box and several brand-new garment bags.
Inside the bags were the newest collections from various brands: bags, clothes, shoes, makeup, and more.
Meanwhile, the butler presented a credit card tied to the family fund with both hands.
Moreover, it had no spending limit; there was no need to worry about maxing it out. No matter how much was spent, it was possibleâthe family fund would pick up the tab.
