Greg Jensen looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice, âIâll ask you one more time, were the people inside doing this under your orders?â
âKid, if youâve got the guts, just kill me, or elseâ¦â
Jay Brentâs words were only halfway uttered when he could speak no more, as he keenly sensed the murderous intent flashing in Gregâs eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly had the delusion that this young man in front of him truly dared to kill him.
The next second, all that could be heard was Gregâs icy voice, âWant to die, do you? I can oblige you, but not now.
Go home and wait, Iâll come to kill you tonight!â
âYouâ¦â
Jay Brentâs face was extremely unpleasant, as a well-known boss in Jamae City, he was actually being threatened by a nobody.
If word of this got out, how would he ever be able to mix in Jamae again?
But at this moment, he didnât dare utter a single harsh word, because he knew that this young man in front of him would do as he said.
This feeling, he didnât know where it came from, but he was certain it was not wrong.
Seeing Greg about to turn and walk away, Jay Brent gritted his teeth and said, âThatâs right, they were my men. Letâs call it even, Iâll take care of it.â
Greg paused in his step, turned around, and looked at him coldly, âOne million, and from now on stay away from me. You are not allowed to appear where I am. Can you do that?â
âOne million is no problem, but your latter demand is a bit too much, donât you think?â
Parting with one million would pain Jay Brent, but against someone like Greg, a master of his caliber, that sum of money was of little concern.
But being asked to stay away from Greg, that was too much.
If he truly agreed to that, what would he, Jay Brent, amount to?
How would he ever mix in Jamae City again?
Greg let out a mocking smile, âYou can refuse if you like. Next time I see you, Iâll just kill you directly.
That way, youâll never appear in front of me again.â
âYou⦠you dare!â Jay Brent said with menacing bravado.
âHeh.â
Greg sneered, âIf you donât believe it, feel free to try and see.â
Having said that, he turned and left, walking to the opposite side as if untouched by the prior events, his demeanor utterly relaxed.
In fact, Greg had indeed not been affected by Jay Brent because he had already expected him to pull such a stunt.
Plus, the men Jay Brent had sent over this time were too few; they werenât even enough for Greg to warm up.
Inside Dreamscape Garden, Kingsley Harrison and others were anxiously waiting.
Seeing Greg return, he quickly went up to him and said anxiously, âBoss, are you okay?â
âIâm fine, what could be wrong? Heâs just trash, I didnât even consider him a threat.â
âGlad to hear youâre okay.â
Kingsley Harrison and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
âWhat about those guys?â
âTheyâve been taken away by the patrol, they said they want you to come by later to give an additional statement.â
âHmm.â
Greg nodded, glanced at the gate and said, âBut it looks like weâll have to replace this gate.â
âHaha, isnât that just perfect? Iâve been finding this gate an eyesore for a while now, itâs about time to get a new one.â
âAlright, get back to work. Make it quick, weâre aiming to reopen within a week.â
âGot it, boss.â
After leaving Dreamscape Garden, Greg first went to the patrol office to make a simple statement. With surveillance in Dreamscape Garden, there were basically no issues at the patrol office.
After giving his statement, he drove to the Wright Clubhouse.
âMr. Greg.â
âMr. Gregâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Brandon Brent and Big Liu, who had waited for quite a long time, quickly stood up.
Adrian Wright, sitting next to them, flashed a look of surprise mingled with admiration and laughed, âGreg, you finally made it. These brothers have been waiting for you for half the day.â
âHmm.â
Greg smiled, sat down across from the two, and asked, âWhatâs the situation at home now?â
Big Liu hurriedly explained, âThe third one is already preparing to organize the pickers, and the warm houses have all been built to avoid the herbs getting frost damage after being harvested.â
Greg looked at him with some surprise and asked, âAccording to the schedule, shouldnât there be over a month left? Why are you harvesting so soon?â
Big Liu was also puzzled and said, âI have no idea whatâs going on. It was indeed supposed to be over a month, but these herbs have been growing incredibly fast, and now they have reached maturity.
If we donât harvest them now, the quality might be affected.â
âHmm, youâve done well.â Greg praised casually, his mind pondering that it must be the change in the Formation.
In the past, the bases of the formations were all carved from ordinary stones, but this time they had been replaced with Cold Pond stones, which significantly improved the effect compared to ordinary stones.
If they were all replaced with jade, the effect might be boosted even further.
He thought for a moment and decided that if the medicinal herb base in Jamae City really took off, he would switch all the formation bases to jade.
By doing so, it would not only greatly shorten the maturation time but also enhance the quality of the herbs, with only a slightly higher initial investment.
For Greg, these were not significant issues; the focus was on finding a suitable piece of land first.
Overjoyed by Gregâs praise, Big Liu smiled and asked, âMr. Greg, what should I do next?â
âThe old rule, find a piece of land and lease it for thirty years first.â
Greg turned to Adrian Wright beside him and joked, âFor the specifics, youâll have to ask Adrian here.â
âAsk me?â
Adrian was stunned and said hesitantly, âDo you mean you want me to take a stake in it?â
âYes, whether you actually do it is up to you.â
âDo it, of course!â
Adrian and Spencer Burley trusted Greg unconditionally, so they agreed without a second thought.
Greg smiled and said, âThen Iâll give each of you fifteen percent of the shares, but you wonât get shares in the supermarket.â
âHaha, a vegetable base is good enough. We donât need the rest. Just remember us for any good business deals in the future.â
âNo problem.â
Greg laughed and then discussed the specifics with the two men.
Actually, running a vegetable base is quite easy; the only challenges are the quality and sales.
With Greg on board, the quality was naturally not a worry, and once the Peach Blossom grocery store opened in Jamae, there would be no concerns about sales either.
âSo how many acres should we lease to start off with?â Adrian asked.
Greg pondered for a moment, then raised his head and suggested, âHow about⦠we start with five hundred acres?â
âHow much?â
âFive hundred acres?â
Both Adrian and Big Liu were shocked. They knew Greg wanted to make a big move, but they hadnât expected it to be this big.
A Jamae city alone might not be able to consume the vegetables from five hundred acres of land.
Adrian expressed his concern, âGreg, isnât that⦠a bit too much?â
âNot at all, and if worse comes to worst, we can plant medicinal herbs,â Greg replied, smiling. âBesides, who said Peach Blossom supermarket can only open in Jamae City? Qin Province is vast.â
