Jay Brentâs face flushed with embarrassment, but he had nothing to say. He chuckled awkwardly, âBrother Wallace, shouldnât we talk about evidence for this kind of thing?
Accusing me of selling the goods to two different parties for no reason, isnât this tarnishing my reputation?â
âYou still have a reputation?â Greg Jensen sneered.
Jay Brentâs expression turned cold, and he frowned, âKid, our conversation has nothing to do with you. Youâd better shut your mouth, or I wonât mind having someone throw you out.â
âSure, call your people over. Iâll give you ten minutes, call as many as you can!â
Greg Jensenâs face was icy, and his heart was even frostier.
He didnât even know what was happening to him; he was usually the amiable small-town youth.
But every time he encountered rotten characters, his heart would turn very cold, wishing he could just finish them off and walk away.
That would be the simplest and the most satisfying!
Was it because he had cultivated the âYin Yang Harmony Sutraâ?
Greg Jensen didnât know the specific reasons, but he quite liked this feeling and hadnât thought about changing it.
After all, scum like Jay Brent wouldnât learn their lesson until they were beaten hard and subdued. Otherwise, they would go on to harm others in the future.
Jay Brent was also enraged as he glared at Greg Jensen with that mocking look in his eyes, promptly picking up the phone to call his trusted man, Eaton Harrison.
However, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Just then, a flustered underling came in and said, âBoss, something terrible has happened. Eaton and the others have been beaten up by someone; theyâre all sprawled in the corridor, knocked out.â
Hearing this, Jay Brent felt his brain buzz and turned his head in disbelief, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with mockery.
Eaton Harrison was knocked out in the corridor?
This meant he didnât stand a chance to fight back, not even making a sound before being knocked out by Greg Jensen!
The driver not being able to fight back was one thing, but Eaton Harrison was one of his top fighters, and even he had been overpowered like that.
Who exactly was this Greg Jensen, and how could his skills be so formidable?
Wallace Carter watched Jay Brent, who was sweating profusely, took a sip from his teacup, and asked indifferently, âOld Brent, still want to keep calling people in?â
Jay Brent snapped back to reality, already drenched in cold sweat.
He forced himself to calm down, but the unease in his darting eyes betrayed the panic in his heart.
âKid, was it you who injured my men?â
âYes, it was me.â
Greg Jensenâs expression was indifferent, as if discussing something completely unrelated to himself.
Seeing his demeanor, Jay Brent grew even angrier and shouted, âEvery madmanâs fortune comes with disaster, are you not afraid of taking a fall?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHa, Iâve taken enough falls to have the experience. Just not sure if you have the guts!â Greg Jensen scoffed.
âEnough with the nonsense, if you want to call people, hurry up. If not, letâs talk,â Greg Jensen said derisively.
Jay Brentâs face turned the color of iron, and he thought several times about making a call, but he knew even if he did bring people, they wouldnât be able to do anything to his opponent.
This office was only so big; if too many came, the opponent could directly take him hostage. With too few, they wouldnât even be able to beat Greg Jensen.
Call people?
To send them to their deaths?
He took several deep breaths and took a long time to compose himself before saying in a deep voice, âHow do you want to talk?â
Greg Jensen said casually, âItâs very simple. Iâll take the land, and you refund Mr. Carterâs deposit, and weâll call it even for today.â
Jay Brent laughed as if he had heard a joke, âI really donât understand what youâre saying. Why should I give you my land?â
âIâve paid money!â
âYour money wasnât spent here with me; whoever took your money, go find them!â
Greg Jensenâs lips curled into a faint sneer as he asked, âAre you sure you want me to go find Eaton Harrison?â
At the mention of âEaton Harrison,â Jay Brentâs face changed dramatically. Instinctively, he wanted to pick up his phone and call Eaton Harrison to inquire.
But seeing Greg Jensenâs mocking smile and Wallace Carterâs composed demeanor, he reluctantly retracted his hand.
How did he find out Eaton Harrisonâs real name?
Could it be that theyâve captured Eaton Harrison?
âI donât understand what youâre talking about,â Jay Brent said, striving to remain calm.
Greg Jensen laughed and nodded, âOkay, then Iâll just sue him for fraud. By that time, youâll definitely understand what Iâm talking about.â
As he spoke, he stood up and gave Wallace Carter a meaningful glance, preparing to walk outside.
Wallace Carter stood up reluctantly. He had done everything he could. If Jay Brent still didnât come to his senses, there was nothing more he could do; he was left to his own devices.
Seeing this scene, Jay Brent grew anxious and hastily shot a pleading look at Wallace Carter.
âWallaceâ¦â
Wallace Carter also felt helpless. When he had called for you to back down earlier, you were showing off, trying to be tough against the other party.
Now that you canât be tough, he wasnât in a position to plead on your behalf anymore.
Realizing this, Jay Brent understood that they must have already caught Eaton Harrison and that he must have confessed to everything necessary.
In other words, if they wanted to, they could send Eaton Harrison away at any minute.
Once Eaton Harrison was gone, he would definitely implicate Jay Brent, and a charge of fraud would be enough to put him behind bars for years.
After a few years, when he would get out, there would no longer be a place for Jay Brent in this world.
Watching as Greg Jensen and his companion reached the door, Jay Brent could only grit his teeth and say, âMr. Jensen, letâs⦠letâs talk.â
Greg Jensen paused, turned back to look at Jay Brent, and said indifferently, âYou want to talk now? Well, I donât feel like it anymore!â
âYouâ¦â Jay Brent, enraged to madness, had no option but to stare helplessly.
After a moment of hesitation, Wallace Carter spoke in a low voice, âMr. Jensen, perhaps⦠give him one more chance?â
Greg Jensen turned his head, gazing calmly at Wallace Carter until Carter started to feel uneasy. Then, Greg Jensen finally turned back around and sat down on the sofa.
âFirst,â Greg began, âthe two million should have already reached your hands, so the land is mine. Is that fair?â
âFair!â
At this stage, Jay Brent wouldnât dare utter a word of protest and eagerly agreed.
âSecond,â Greg continued, âthe earnest money paid by Wallace Carter is to be returned. Any problem with that?â
âThatâ¦â
Jay Brent hesitated; the land parcel was worth much more than two million under normal circumstances. He had offered that price mainly to lure Greg Jensen into the trap.
If he returned Wallace Carterâs earnest money too, then he would be at a significant loss.
âAny problem?â Greg prodded.
âNo⦠no problem.â
When under someone elseâs roof, one has no choice but to bow oneâs head.
Jay Brent sighed helplessly.
Greg Jensen chuckled, taking out a Three Green Pill and said blandly, âOpen your mouth. This is the third condition.â
He had thought it over; relying solely on the covert efforts of Brandon Brent and Theo Carter might not be enough to bring down Ethan Locke.
If they added the overt efforts of Jay Brent, that should probably do it.
As for why he didnât present the Three Green Pill at the first opportunity, he wanted to gauge Jay Brentâs attitude at the time.
If Jay Brent still showed no sign of repentance, Greg Jensen would rather not have this hidden asset.
