Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Invitation_1
“Mr. Wolfe, this is a vase passed down from our ancestors. A few years ago, someone offered 20 million for it, but I didn’t sell.”
“Hmm.”
Greg Jensen looked at the antique vase that was nearly as tall as a person, nodded silently with an air of disinterest.
Seeing this, someone hurriedly brought over a pair of Emperor Green bracelets, saying with a smile, “Mr. Wolfe, take a look at these.
I bought this Emperor Green at Christie’s two years ago for more than five million.”
Greg Jensen’s eyes brightened, “Hmm, very pretty. Leah Morris, take these bracelets.”
Trey Holmes quickly came over, picked up the jade bracelets, and put them aside.
The others, seeing Greg Jensen accepting the gift, suddenly became happy, fearing that Greg would be upset about them arriving late and refuse to accept any presents.
As long as he was willing to accept gifts, they were certain they would find something that would satisfy Greg.
“Mr. Wolfe, this is my…”
“Mr. Wolfe, please look at this…”
The various Family Heads crowded around, each presenting their gifts for Greg Jensen to choose from.
As they opened the boxes they brought, the living room suddenly filled with all sorts of glittering jewels.
From jewelry worth a few million to renowned calligraphies and precision ornaments worth tens of millions, Greg even spotted a rare ginseng plant that was almost a few decades old.
This was a fine item, worth millions on the surface, but generally, money couldn’t buy it.
It was said that a few years ago, someone spent a whole 50 million just to acquire such a ginseng in hopes of extending an elder’s life by a few days.
Having status really is grand!
Greg Jensen thought to himself and, with a grand gesture, accepted everything, including the earlier vase that was about half a person tall, having it moved to his study.
He then invited everyone into the tearoom, where Trey Holmes demonstrated his tea ceremony skills.
The gifts from these Family Heads were worth at least several hundred million. Greg Jensen was in a good mood and much more amiable.
Plus, these individuals were all shrewd, able to carry a conversation about anything under the sun.
Soon, the atmosphere in the tea room became harmonious.
Family Head of the Tang family asked, “Mr. Wolfe, all of the Green family’s properties have been taken over by Simon Cooper and his people. What about our previous cooperation…?”
Greg Jensen picked up his tea cup, smelled it, then looked up at him and said,
“You should discuss that matter with Simon Cooper. If there are no disputes or issues, the cooperation will continue as usual.
We all mix in Qin Province’s business circles to make money. If we can make money in harmony, nobody wants to be at drawn swords, right?”
“You’re right, Mr. Wolfe.”
“With Mr. Wolfe’s words, I’m reassured.”
Their primary goal for this visit was to get closer to Greg Jensen, to avoid any future trouble he might cause them.
Secondly, they wanted to gauge his intentions regarding business.
If he was like a bandit, seizing wealth by force, they would have no choice but to sell off their assets and hit the road.
But having heard Greg Jensen’s words, they felt at ease.
In fact, they didn’t care who was in charge, as long as the person wanted to make money, they weren’t afraid.
After all, isn’t paying for peace just the same no matter who you give it to?
They even hoped that Greg Jensen would take charge of Qin Province because besides extracting benefits, the Stuart Family hardly paid attention to the affairs below, whereas Greg was different.
Greg wanted to make money, and with him around, the likes of Simon Cooper and Trent Preston wouldn’t dare to be too outrageous.
After all, that was the magician who had killed Nathan Green and Troy Milton!
If Trent Preston and Simon Cooper were still as arrogant as before, they would certainly hinder Greg Wolfe’s money-making, and how many heads would they have enough to chop off?
As the conversation progressed, the atmosphere in the tea room grew increasingly harmonious.
It was at this moment that Trent Preston’s phone call came through.
Greg Jensen casually picked up, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Wolfe, it’s like this, the Stuart Family’s eldest daughter, Carmen Stuart, has arrived and would like to meet with you. Do you have time right now?”
Trent Preston lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Wolfe, I suggest you meet with her, considering last time…”
Greg Jensen was taken aback, “Last time?”
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
Trent Preston quickly corrected himself, “Miss Stuart came once before, but you weren’t here, so the meeting didn’t take place. I think it would be best to meet with her this time.”
Hearing that she had visited before and had not been able to meet him, Greg Jensen didn’t make much of it and casually said, “Then bring her over, I’m at the villa on the mountaintop.”
“Alright, we are also on our way there, it’ll take another five minutes to arrive.”
Greg Jensen didn’t pay much attention. If the Stuart Family had come to talk, then they would talk; if they could accept his conditions, then peaceful coexistence would be possible.
If they couldn’t, then they would simply have to clash.
It wasn’t long before Trent Preston arrived with Carmen Stuart.
“Mr. Wolfe, let me introduce her, this is the eldest daughter of the Stuart Family, Carmen Stuart.”
“It’s you?”
Greg Jensen had a good memory and recognized Carmen Stuart at a glance.
Embarrassed at the thought of that awkward day, Carmen Stuart’s face turned red as she extended her hand and said, “Grandmaster Wolfe, hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time, and I’ve brought a small gift.”
As the saying goes, you don’t slap a smiling face!
If Carmen Stuart had been arrogant and condescending like Darryl Ingles, Greg Jensen naturally wouldn’t have given her a friendly reception.
But instead, she greeted him with a smile and even brought a gift; it wouldn’t be right to give her the cold shoulder now.
Standing up to welcome her, Greg Jensen extended his hand and offered her a seat, “Hello, please take a seat.”
“Thank you.”
Carmen Stuart sat down gracefully opposite Greg Jensen, while the Family Heads all stood up at once.
They looked at Greg Jensen in surprise, then at Carmen Stuart.
Could it be that the Stuart Family was finally making their move?
Damn it, had they known, they would have waited a few more days.
The Family Heads regretted it immensely; not because they minded the gifts, but because they feared being too close to Barry Wolfe might lead to the Stuart Family settling scores afterward.
However, looking at the current situation, the Stuart Family didn’t seem to be planning any reprisal against Greg Jensen.
The individuals glanced at each other and decided to see how things unfolded before reacting.
Greg Jensen personally poured a cup of tea for Carmen Stuart and asked, “Miss Stuart, I wonder what brings you here this time?”
Cleaving her throat, Carmen Stuart said with a smile, “My grandfather heard that a young genius has emerged in our Qin province, someone who became a Grandmaster in his twenties. He is very pleased.
He wanted to come and see you in person, but due to his old age and various health inconveniences, he would like to invite Grandmaster Wolfe to the Stuart home for a meeting.”
“This…”

If the Stuart Family had come with force, Greg Jensen wouldn’t be afraid; a battle would be just fine.
But Carmen Stuart’s approach left him unsure of what to do.
If he refused to go, it would appear petty; yet, going might land him in a trap set by the Stuart Family.
Greg Jensen’s expression darkened slightly, but he had already made up his mind, “No problem; since it’s a personal invitation from Mr. Green, I naturally have no reason to refuse.
However, I’d like to know, what does Mr. Green wish to discuss with me?”
