Chapter 647 -647: Better Watch Out for Yourself_1
Everyone looked at Noah Locke kneeling on the ground, their gazes filled with disdain.
Although they too wished to kill Greg Jensen, there were no feelings of kinship between them and Greg.
It was different for Noah Locke, though. Not only had Greg saved the lives of the Locke family members, but he had also helped them modify their Cultivation Technique.
This kindness could not be said to be insignificant!
Most importantly, the assets the Locke family had turned over were much less than those of the other families.
Even so, Noah Locke still wasn’t satisfied.
For the sake of some minor benefits, he had still banded together with outsiders, wanting to kill Greg Jensen.
Now, seeing that they couldn’t beat Greg, and kneel down to beg for mercy, everyone’s face showed an expression of disgust upon seeing Noah Locke’s shameless side.
In this world, no one wants to deal with such an ungrateful person, lest they accidentally get conned by them.
Seeing that Greg wasn’t speaking, Noah Locke became even more frantic. He kept kowtowing to Greg, his voice trembling as he said:
“Master Barry, I was blinded by greed, please spare the Locke family.”
“Presumptuous when near, resentful from afar, the ancients truly do not deceive me.”
Greg curled his lip and said in a deep voice, “Starting today, the Locke family will be controlled by Theresa Locke.”

“Ah?”
Noah Locke was stunned. In his opinion, the current head of the Locke family was Old Master Locke, so naturally, he would be the next Family Head.
He hadn’t even become the Family Head yet, and his son was already being promoted. What was he to do now?
He immediately said anxiously, “Master Barry, I…”
Greg looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice, “What? Do you have an issue?”
That icy gaze made Noah Locke panic even more, and he said dejectedly, “I… I have no issue, everything is up to Master Barry’s command.”
Greg glanced at him sidelong, again looked towards the crowd, and said indifferently, “Does anyone else have an objection?”
The place was silent!
Everyone hung their heads low, no longer daring to make eye contact with Greg.
After a long while, Greg turned to face Robin Hayes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently, “You see, they all agree.”
Seeing this, Robin Hayes immediately became anxious and angrily said, “Speak up, will you! Are we really going to let him walk all over us?”
The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop, the others still kept their heads down, remaining silent.
“You…”
Robin Hayes looked at the crowd in disbelief. They had clearly agreed to unite against Barry Wolfe, but not one person stood up when it came down to it, which made him feel a sudden sense of humiliation at being betrayed.
Greg said mockingly, “I’m talking to you; they all agree, what about you?”
The muscles on Robin Hayes’s face twitched slightly, and he said angrily, “Barry Wolfe, don’t go too far!”
Slap!
Greg raised his hand and delivered a slap, saying indifferently, “Who gave you the guts to call me by my name?”
Although Robin Hayes was not weak, the force of the slap was so strong that it sent him flying out.
With a loud crash, he knocked over a great number of tables and chairs.
Thud!
He immediately spat out blood, mixed with several teeth; his originally pale face now swollen like a steamed bun, a truly miserable sight.
But still, he couldn’t accept it in his heart and said angrily, “Barry Wolfe, from today onward, the Hayes family won’t give you a single penny, just you wait and see!”
“Heh.”
Greg scoffed, “Am I to understand that the Hayes family, as a Martial Way family, after expanding their business with the resources they’ve gained, now doesn’t want to follow the rules?”
Robin Hayes’s face turned red, but he still said stubbornly, “You… say what you will!”
Everyone else frowned. Seizing resources through martial force was an unspoken rule among Martial Way families.
Since the Hayes family grew prosperous through martial arts, and now they wanted to break this rule, needless to say, the others were displeased.
Greg Jensen’s face revealed a strange smile as he turned to address the crowd, “According to the rules, how should the Hayes Family be dealt with in this situation?”
The crowd fell silent.
Greg Jensen chuckled, then turned to look at Noah Locke and said, “The Locke Family should make a statement.”
Noah Locke’s body trembled, “It should… be exterminated, expelled from the Eighteen Cities of Jiangnan.”
“Hmm, then let’s exterminate them!”
Greg Jensen spoke very calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter, yet his voice revealed a chilling coldness.
Robin Hayes couldn’t help shivering, his voice filled with terror, “Barry Wolfe, you… you dare to kill me?”
Greg Jensen glanced at him indifferently and, with a casual wave of his hand, the Sword of Coagulated Frost on the ground whizzed through the air and stabbed directly into Robin Hayes’ chest.
Thud!
Robin Hayes’ eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief that he had just died like this.
He desperately pressed down on his chest, as if trying to stem the gushing blood, but his hands quickly fell limply.
Thump!
The sound of the corpse hitting the floor was particularly grating in the silent room, causing everyone to shudder involuntarily.
Greg Jensen looked at the crowd and asked, “Now, does anyone else have any objections?”
“None.”
“From today on, the Eighteen Cities of Jiangnan will honor Master Barry as supreme.”
“Each family present will pay an additional ten percent of their business profits.”
Greg Jensen coldly stated, “If there’s a next time, your families will be exterminated!”
The crowd trembled again and then said in unison, “We shall follow Master Barry’s orders.”
With a cold snort, Greg Jensen looked at Noah Locke again and said in a stern voice, “Settle the matter of the Family Head quickly, and don’t even think about having other ideas, or Theresa Locke won’t be able to protect you!”
He cracked a smile, showing his stark white teeth, and said coldly, “If it comes to it, I’ll just wipe out the entire Locke Family and leave only Theresa.”
“We dare not. From now on, the Locke Family will be Master Barry’s loyal dog, absolutely without any other thoughts.”
“Mind yourself!”
With another cold snort, Greg Jensen walked out as if nobody else was there.
Thump!
Noah Locke collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, while the others weren’t faring any better.
A few of the more faint-hearted were even close to wetting themselves.
They too had been swaggering figures in the martial world and business circles for many years, but the imperious aura that Greg Jensen exuded was truly too horrifying.
So much so that while Greg Jensen was present, they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
Now that Greg Jensen had left, their tension suddenly eased, and they all sat on their chairs like slackened mud, powerless.
“What do we do now?”
“What else can we do? Hurry to instruct our families to surrender our businesses. If we delay any further, we might lose our lives as well.”
“Robin Hayes, that son of a bitch, really did a number on us.”
“And to guarantee he could kill…”
That person stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing that everyone was looking at him and swiftly comprehended how blasphemous his intended words were, promptly shutting his mouth.
“The sky over the Eighteen Cities of Jiangnan has thoroughly changed!”
“It changed long ago. From now on, let’s just do our business honestly, and stop thinking about those other things.”
“Stop thinking, my ass. If we keep this up, it won’t be long before we face total destruction.”
The crowd sighed in resignation, their faces marked with helplessness, their hearts filled with regret.
If they had known this would happen, why would they have bothered in the first place?
Now look what happened: not only did they fail to kill Barry Wolfe, but they also have to pay an extra ten percent in profits. They truly have lost not just their wife but also their soldiers.
