The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Reflection_1

“`

Learning that Trey Holmes was safe, Greg Jensen let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes became determined when he looked again at the villa before him.

Revenge should not be postponed overnight, and the same goes for the struggle with enemies.

In the future, he must strangle his enemies in the cradle to avoid similar situations.

This incident made Greg realize that no matter how strong a person is, one cannot cover all bases; fighting alone will sooner or later lead to failure. Cultivating one’s own forces was the only way forward.

Take this incident as an example, if Greg had his own forces, he could have detected the actions of Troy Milton and his group early on and could have averted tragedy.

Brandon Brent and Theo Carter were pretty good, but they were still too green. They could do some things with their connections.

However, in an unfamiliar environment, their little tricks wouldn’t be enough.

What’s more, Greg couldn’t stay in one place forever, nor could he tie his friends and family to himself.

Therefore, he must build his own team and protect his base—Qin Province.

Greg stood in place, silently mulling over his plan.

After an unknown period of time, a commercial vehicle arrived, taking Greg and two others to another villa.

This villa was smaller than the previous one, and it was already being cleaned and arranged by specialized personnel.

Glen Wolfe was supervising the cleaning in the living room. When he saw Greg arrive, he hurried up to greet him:

“Boss, the study has been cleaned up. You can rest there for a while.”

“Hmm.”

Glen led the way to the study, and as he was about to leave, Greg stopped him.

“Notify Trent Preston and Simon Cooper to bring a few others to the villa tomorrow.”

Greg sat down behind the desk and looked up, “You come over tomorrow too, it’s time to distribute what needs to be distributed.”

“Yes, sir.”

Glen’s heart leaped with joy. He gently closed the door and silently smiled.

The implication of the words was clear: benefits were to be distributed tomorrow.

Having followed the boss through thick and thin for so long, he was finally going to see some returns.

It was foreseeable that after tomorrow, the Wolfe family would certainly become the leading family in the provincial city, and Glen’s status would naturally rise with the tide.

“No, no, no!”

Glen was startled and inwardly cursed himself for being too complacent. “Don’t be the tall poppy! It’s fine not to be the first; being second or third will do.”

…

Inside the study.

Duncan Kong sat somewhat stiffly in his chair, while Xavier Cooper relaxedly sprawled in his seat, looking around this way and that, appearing very at ease.

“Eat this.”

Greg tossed a Sanqing Elixir over.

Xavier caught it, examined the Elixir carefully, and with a playful smile, tossed it into his mouth. He even chewed it vigorously a couple of times before swallowing it with a gulp.

After finishing, he said with a grin, “Boss, am I considered your man now?”

Greg frowned slightly, turned to Duncan Kong, and asked, “Has this guy always been so frivolous?”

Hearing Greg call him, Duncan Kong suddenly got nervous. As a Grandmaster, he had seen many grand scenes, but Greg was the first who could subdue him with a single move.

Besides, now that he had been poisoned with the Sanqing Elixir, his life was in the other’s hands. It was impossible not to feel tense.

Greg looked at him and said, “You don’t have to be so nervous. Since I’ve let you follow me, the past incidents are naturally erased.”

Relieved by Greg’s words, Duncan replied with a smile, “Alright, boss.”

Greg smiled in return and turned to Xavier, asking again, “Has this fellow always been so lively?”

Duncan glanced at Xavier and said with surprise, “No, when he first arrived at the Milton family’s annex, he was colder and more arrogant than anyone else. His nose was nearly in the air, incredibly irritating.”

“`

Xavier Cooper chuckled and said, “Before I left, my master told me that everyone coming this time is a master, and he cautioned me to be on guard so as not to be looked down upon.

If someone provokes me, I also shouldn’t be afraid. After all, they can’t just kill people willy-nilly; all I need to do is fight back with the strongest means at my disposal.

Even if I can’t beat them, I must leave a mark on the opponent.”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Duncan Kong’s hand with a very smug expression on his face.

For there was a wound, one that he had inflicted.

Duncan Kong glared at him and said disdainfully, “Thomas Lampe, that old drunk, never teaches you anything good.”

Xavier Cooper just lifted his head proudly.

Watching the old and the young bicker, Greg Jensen felt his sorrow diminish significantly.

He took out two bottles of Blood Qi Elixir and placed them on the table, saying, “These are Elixirs that can enhance True Qi, one bottle for each of you.”

Upon hearing his words, both their eyes lit up simultaneously, excitedly looking at the two bottles of Elixir.

Elixirs that enhance True Qi are always very expensive; most importantly, money can’t always buy them.

The new boss actually took out two bottles just like that; following him doesn’t seem to be a bad deal after all.

Duncan Kong couldn’t believe it and asked, “Is that… really for us?”

“Take it. If you run out, just ask me for more, I’ll make sure you have enough!”

Greg Jensen grandly waved his hand. Today’s skirmish had served as a heavy stick for the two of them. After wielding the stick, it was time to follow up with a carrot—otherwise, how could he make them wholeheartedly tackle tasks for him?

Duncan Kong still had reservations, but Xavier Cooper walked up without hesitation, picked up a bottle, examined it, then opened the cap to take a sniff, and immediately popped a pill into his mouth without any second thoughts.

“Xavier Cooper, you… why did you just eat it like that?” Duncan Kong said exasperatedly.

Xavier Cooper casually replied, “We’ve already eaten the poison just now; this has to be the sweet date our boss is giving us. What is there to be afraid of?”

Am I afraid that the Elixir is poisoned?

Is that what I meant?

Duncan Kong was even more speechless, thinking to himself how could Thomas Lampe, such a cunning man, have taught such a reckless disciple?

Greg Jensen watched Xavier Cooper’s behavior and couldn’t help but crack a smile, “Your character is even more like a monkey than Duncan Kong. What are you rushing for? Nobody’s fighting you for it.”

Xavier Cooper jutted his chin out, about to say something, but his face suddenly flushed red.

He was startled for a moment but then overjoyed, quickly sitting down cross-legged on the ground and starting to assimilate the power of the Elixir.

Duncan Kong was dumbfounded. He even began to suspect that Xavier Cooper was a plant sent deliberately by Barry Wolfe.

The Elixir he had just ingested was taking effect so quickly—could it be that this was all rehearsed?

Would Elixirs from Healington take effect so rapidly after consumption?

Could the boss’s Elixirs really be better than those from Healington?

Duncan Kong’s heart chilled, suddenly recalling something.

A couple of days ago, while chatting, he heard Troy Milton and others mention that the Elixirs Glen Wolfe brought out were purchased by Healington at high prices.

They even risked their lives to fight over the Elixir Prescription.

Could the boss’s Elixirs truly be that impressive?

Duncan Kong looked at the bottle on the table, but now he felt somewhat embarrassed.

When it was first brought out, he did not go to take it. Now, seeing Xavier Cooper starting to assimilate the power of the Elixir, it seemed somewhat shameful for him to go and take it after the fact.

To pounce on the benefits as they appear?

Greg Jensen laughed and said, “If you want to eat, just take it yourself; it’s all prepared for the two of you anyway.”

Duncan Kong’s face turned red, and he chuckled awkwardly, “Then, thank you, boss.”

After that, he took the bottle, bit his lip, poured out an Elixir, and swallowed it.

As he looked up again, he saw Greg Jensen’s smiling face.
