“I have spoken, who agrees, who opposes?”
Before his words faded, an imposing aura, mountain-like, began to slowly spread.
The meeting room fell silent immediately.
Everyone felt the pressure mounting, subconsciously holding their breath, not daring to even lift their heads.
Sweat dripped onto the table, making a crisp sound that, in this quiet space, seemed particularly grating.
Once he spoke, no one dared to contradict!
Noah Locke’s face turned extremely unsightly as he struggled internally.
He clenched his teeth and said, “I oppose!”
Greg Jensen turned his head and looked over, his cold gaze like that of a demon god, with tangible killing intent assailing Noah Locke.
Noah Locke’s expression froze, feeling as if a giant hand had viciously seized his heart, abruptly stopping its beat.
His face quickly reddened, and the veins on his neck and forehead, like writhing earthworms, bulged out, grotesque and terrifying.
“I…”
It was only then that Noah Locke knew fear, wanting to beg for mercy, but he found he couldn’t speak at all.
Theresa Locke, beside him, was greatly alarmed, hastily saying, “Brother Greg, we do not oppose!”
Greg Jensen glanced at Theresa Locke, then withdrew his gaze.
“Phew…”
The pressure around them suddenly lessened, and Noah Locke’s heart began to beat again; he started to gasp for air.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but feel intimidated, once more bowing their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Greg Jensen scanned the room again, calmly stating, “I’ll say it one last time, who agrees, who opposes?”
The room fell silent, utterly still!
Just now, Noah Locke, who had opposed, had yet to catch his breath. At this point, who would dare to speak?
After a long while, seeing that no one spoke up, Greg Jensen calmly said, “Since no one opposes, then it’s settled.
“The subsequent matters will be fully handled by Miss Xia from Twin Peaks Group. She will speak to you individually after the meeting.”
Everyone respectfully stood up, bowed, and in unison said, “We will strictly follow Master Wolfe’s instructions.”
Greg Jensen was silent for a moment before continuing, “Also, find the required medicinal ingredients as soon as possible. The one who contributes the most, I can consider helping him modify his family inherited skills, making it easier for him and his family’s juniors to enter the Master Realm.”
Hiss!
Upon hearing his words, everyone lifted their heads.
At this moment, disregarding rank and status, they all looked at Greg Jensen with shock on their faces.
If it had been before, they might have taken such words from Greg Jensen as a joke, but after his battle with Walter Locke, everyone had a clear understanding of Greg Jensen’s level.
They knew that if Greg Jensen said it, he could definitely do it!
Moreover, it was rumored that Theresa Locke was able to enter the Master Realm at her age because Greg Jensen helped the Locke family modify their cultivation technique.
Thinking that if they could find the ingredients Greg Jensen needed, their families might produce several Grandmasters in the future, everyone became excited.
At the same time, everyone’s gaze turned towards Noah Locke, some not even hiding their disdain.
“If I were the Locke family, I would desperately cling to Master Wolfe’s coattails.”
“Exactly, he helped their family modify the cultivation technique, and even made their son a Grandmaster at such a young age. Yet he still thought about siding with Walter Locke.”

“Shameless!”
As the meeting ended, people were discussing Greg Jensen’s final “bounty” as they walked out, and also mocking the Locke family’s actions.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Noah Locke wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
“It’s all Barry Wolfe’s fault. If it weren’t for him, how could others know about what I’ve done?”
Noah Locke gnashed his teeth in anger, subconsciously blaming all the mistakes on Barry Wolfe’s “lack of magnanimity” and “narrow-mindedness.”
He failed to realize that he had actually betrayed Greg Jensen and was now, in turn, accusing others.
With a dark face, he returned to the hotel, unable to suppress the rage in his heart any longer, he roared:
“This Barry Wolfe is really pushing it too far! Just wait, I will make him kneel before me and beg for mercy sooner or later!”
After Noah Locke finished shouting, he felt much better. Looking up, he saw Theresa Locke and Doris Locke walk in.
His brows knitted unconsciously, he fell silent for a while before speaking irritably:
“Doris, go see Barry tonight, and see if he can spare our Locke family.”
Doris Locke said in surprise, “You want me to go?”
Theresa Locke was also taken aback and said, “Dad, let me go. With the friendship I have with Barry, he should give me this face.”
Noah Locke’s eyes darkened as he looked at his children and said, “No need, let Doris go.”
“But why would you send Doris to…”
Theresa Locke stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing the implication, his face turned somber and he said, “Dad, what do you mean?”
Noah Locke replied irritably, “It’s not what I mean. Grandpa brought Doris here for this very reason.”
“Grandpa…”
Theresa Locke said emphatically, “No, I disagree, and Barry certainly wouldn’t agree either.”
Noah Locke, with a look of seeing through everyone, scoffed, “Barry Wolfe? His nickname is the flirtatious Magician.
A lecher, how could he refuse a woman who throws herself at his doorstep?”
By this time, Doris Locke also understood her father’s implication. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Noah Locke.
She couldn’t believe her father was willing to trade her happiness for the benefit of the family.
Seeing his daughter staring at him, Noah Locke’s face finally showed a trace of guilt as he sighed:
“Doris, you will have to marry someone sooner or later. What does it matter who it is?
Besides, Barry Wolfe is quite capable, and countless women want to marry him. What do you have against it?”
“I…”
Doris Locke wanted to say “I just don’t want to,” but thinking of Greg Jensen’s handsome face and the dashing way he had defeated Walter Locke, she found herself unable to speak.
She felt anxious inside and didn’t know how to explain, her eyes welling up with a faint layer of mist due to her distress.
“I hate you all!”
“Doris!”
Doris Locke, stomping her foot in anger, ran away with a sobbing voice.
Theresa Locke glared furiously at his father and shouted, “Even if the Locke family falls apart, Doris will never marry Barry Wolfe, you can give up on that idea.”
After saying that, he turned and chased after her.
…
Theresa Locke arrived at the door of his sister’s room and gently knocked, calling through the door, “Doris, please open the door.”
After a while, Doris Locke’s voice came from inside, “Brother, I’m fine, just let me be alone for a while.”
“Doris, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will force you to marry Greg.”
“Mmhmm, you go ahead, I want to be alone for a while.”
“Okay… alright, then I’ll go. Call me if you need anything. If you don’t want to stay here, we can book tickets back to Mystic City later.”
Seeing that his sister really didn’t want to open the door, Theresa Locke could only offer a few words of comfort before he sighed and left.
