Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Mr. Gao of Legend_1

Jay Brent wasn’t a fool, and when he saw Greg Jensen take out the pill, his eyes instantly showed a hint of vigilance.

“Mr. Jensen, this is…?”

“Poison. If you don’t take it, then there’s no point in us talking anymore.”

Jay Brent’s face turned very ugly, but thinking about the possibility of spending several years in jail if he refused, he clenched his teeth and accepted.

He would take it for now and spit it out once they left if it came to that.

Jay Brent was playing a clever game, but he hadn’t anticipated that the pill would dissolve upon entering his mouth, vanishing in an instant, not even leaving him the chance to spit it out.

Greg Jensen said indifferently, “You have one week to become Cindy Harrison’s confidant. I don’t care about the details.

I only have one requirement…”

“What is it?”

Greg Jensen leaned forward slightly, coldly fixing his gaze on him, and said, “When I need you, you better be useful, otherwise, I won’t mind sending you to jail, understand?”

“I… I understand.”

Jay Brent agreed through gritted teeth.

He understood this was making him an undercover agent in the Humphrey family.

Indeed, Greg Jensen was not someone to provoke, but the Humphrey family was even less so.

If the Humphrey family found out he was a double agent, they wouldn’t hesitate to cut him to pieces in minutes.

“Wallace, you explain the rest to him. I’m stepping out for some fresh air.”

“Of course, Mr. Jensen.”

Greg Jensen gave Jay Brent a deep look before turning and walking out of the office.

Once there were no more footsteps outside the door, Jay Brent let out a long sigh of relief, slumping onto the sofa like a mudslide.

“Wallace, what exactly did he just give me?” Jay Brent asked.

Wallace Carter sneered and said, “Did you really think he’d give you something nice? It acts up every seven days, each time with an itch so severe you could scratch off a layer of skin.

If you don’t want to endure such torture, you better do as he says.”

Jay Brent’s face turned instantly pale as he stammered, “Did you take the pill too?”

“I didn’t, but Tianyang did.”

“Is there no way to get rid of it?”

Wallace Carter scoffed and said, “Even Mr. Jensen doesn’t have an antidote to completely neutralize the poison. Do you really think you can find one yourself?”

“But… what if the poison acts up?”

“Don’t worry, he will give you a pill every week to relieve the symptoms. As long as you take it on time, the poison won’t flare up.”

Jay Brent’s expression was extremely unsightly. Suddenly he thought of something, his eyes widening in shock as he exclaimed, “The Mr. Jensen you mentioned before, is he the one?”

“That’s right!”

Jay Brent was taken aback and said in shock, “So he is the legendary Mr. Jensen. No wonder, I should have guessed!”

Realizing that Greg Jensen was the infamous “Mr. Jensen” whom even Wallace Carter feared, Jay Brent felt somewhat relieved.

After all, that was someone even Wallace Carter had to respect!

Brought up on the subject, Wallace Carter also felt a bit of nostalgia and said, “Even without the pill, I wouldn’t dare oppose him.”

“Why?”

“Because he could appear beside my bed in the middle of the night, taking the gun from under my pillow without my notice.”

Wallace Carter paused, turned to look at Jay Brent, and continued, “If he wanted to kill you, it wouldn’t be more difficult than stepping on an ant.

You should be grateful that you’re still of some use, otherwise, you’d already be dead!”

“Ah…”

Jay Brent truly understood then the extent of Greg Jensen’s importance in Wallace Carter’s mind.

He had thought that Wallace Carter respected Greg Jensen only because he was controlled by drugs.

Greg Jensen’s skills were terrifyingly good, breaking into the heavily guarded villa as if it were child’s play.

You should know, for people like them, even sleeping requires four or five bodyguards on patrol.

Yet, Greg managed to easily bypass them and directly enter the master’s bedroom.

That was just too terrifying!

Imagine, you’re asleep, and suddenly you wake up to find a knife against your throat.

This undefendable horror made Jay Brent shiver all over.

Now, he was completely subdued and asked blankly, “So what should I do now?”

“Handle the business you need to handle quickly, and then act as if nothing happened. Start getting close to Cindy Harrison, and strive to enter the Humphrey family’s inner circle as soon as possible.

When Mr. Greg contacts you, that’s when you need to play your part.

Old Jay, don’t say I didn’t warn you, but you’d better not play any tricks, otherwise, you’ll definitely be the one who suffers in the end.”

“I… I understand.”

“Alright, then I’m off too. Remember to transfer my deposit to me.”

“Okay.”

Watching Wallace Carter leave, Jay Brent finally relaxed completely, like someone just fished out of water, soaked from head to toe.

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Cindy Harrison: “Hello, little sister Harrison, where are you? Wanna have dinner together tonight?”

“I can’t tonight, I still have things to do.”

After Cindy Harrison declined his invitation, she then asked, “By the way, have you dealt with the matter concerning Greg coming to your place?”

Jay Brent sighed and said, “It’s settled, I lost two to three million.”

“That much?” Cindy Harrison was shocked.

“What do you think? I not only have to give the land to Greg, but also have to refund the deposit to Wallace Carter.

After all the back and forth, it’s like I sold that plot of land for two million. Tell me, have I not lost out?”

Jay Brent said helplessly, “Little sister Harrison, I’ve really bled a lot for you this time, you have to compensate me well.”

“Uh, some other day, I really have something on tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner another day.”

“Alright, we’ll settle on that then.”

After hanging up the phone, Jay Brent took a long breath of relief, having finally gotten the matter off his chest.

He’d treat Cindy Harrison to dinner in a couple of days, and that would be a good chance to get a little closer to her.

Thinking about the agony Wallace Carter had described, Jay Brent couldn’t help but shudder.

…

Meanwhile, after leaving the Ceaser Club, Greg called Adrian Wright and told him to start recruiting workers for Boss Liu tomorrow, to begin construction on the vegetable base.

The environment required for vegetables is basically the same as that for medicinal herbs; they would first set up the greenhouses, and decide what to plant later based on the situation at the time.

After clarifying the tasks, Greg decided to go buy some jade materials.

Although the jade exhibition held by their company was going to take place in Jamae City in a few days, he didn’t want to wait that long.

Moreover, he didn’t need high-quality materials for carving the grounding formation; it would be a waste of time to cut stones when he could just buy the materials ready-made.

Greg searched on the map and found that the largest local jade dealer was still the Humphrey family’s Treasure Mansion.

Although he didn’t particularly like Nathan Humphrey, he had no choice but to make a personal visit.

Treasure Mansion had two branches in Jamae City, and Greg casually picked the one closest to him and went inside.

This store was much larger than the one in Riverhaven County; the entrance was dominated by a huge half-cut stone, with a tantalizing hint of brilliant green revealed by the skylight, very attractive.

Greg extended his hand, about to apply the Earth Mind Technique to see what was actually inside the stone, when a slender figure approached.

In a gentle voice, she said, “I’m sorry, sir, if you want to touch this stone, you need to wear gloves… Mr. Greg?”

Greg turned around, taken aback, and said in surprise, “Xiaoyu? Weren’t you in Riverhaven County? How did you end up here?”
