Chapter 403: Chapter 403: See You Again If We’re Destined_1
Samantha Adams automatically ignored Julia Hall’s personal attack and said seriously, “That’s not quite right. Asher Green, while only in his twenties, has also reached the mid-stage of Dark Strength.
Achievement shouldn’t be measured by age. Don’t you think?”
“Uh, that’s true, hehe.”
Asher Green laughed dryly but secretly became wary of Greg Jensen.
However, thinking that the two of them hadn’t left any contact information, he relaxed quite a bit.
The space in first class wasn’t very large, Greg Jensen heard every word of their conversation clearly, but he paid it no mind.
From Samantha Adams’s words, it seemed like they were going on an adventure, possibly to find the remains of their ancestor, Andrew Holmes.
Greg Jensen was now pondering whether, if the place he was going to was indeed Andrew Holmes’s burial site and if they really found any treasure, he should make a move to seize it.
It felt somewhat awkward to think about entering the ancestral tomb in front of the descendants and robbing the relics.
Forget it, I’ll decide based on the situation.
Greg Jensen closed his eyes and continued to catch up on sleep.
…
The plane landed smoothly; through the window, Samantha saw the old man being loaded into an ambulance and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking up, she saw Greg Jensen and his companion already walking out.
She hesitated whether to stop Greg Jensen to exchange contact information, but before she could open her mouth, Greg Jensen and his companion had already disembarked.
“Miss Adams, shall we go down too?”
“Oh, yes.”
Samantha Adams quickly stood up and walked briskly towards the exit.
Asher Green watched her back and his face grew uglier.
Samantha Adams had planned to catch up to Greg Jensen to ask for contact information but by the time she got off the plane, Greg Jensen had already disappeared.
Her grandfather always enjoyed studying healing skills, but studying alone naturally felt somewhat solitary.
More than once, he had mentioned in front of her that it would be great to have a companion to discuss with.
So, when Samantha Adams saw Greg Jensen was able to use a silver needle to infuse a patient with True Qi, she was immediately moved.
But now, it was too late for any words.
“Sigh, it’s a pity, it’s not easy to meet someone with such good medical skills.”
Samantha Adams couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
Asher Green said with a laugh, “If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again. Let’s hurry and get in the car so we can rest when we arrive.”
At his words, Samantha Adams’s spirits lifted.
Hundreds of years ago, Andrew Holmes’s disappearance led the Holmes family to live in distress, and it took many years to recover.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But of the Holmes family’s martial, medical, and thieving skills, only the medical arts remained somewhat intact; the Martial Way’s heritage was so fragmented that it took several generations’ efforts to slowly mend it.
The lineage of the tomb raiding captains had completely lost its legacy.
After so many years, finding the remains of their ancestors had been the primary goal of the Holmes family.
And now, with hope finally on the horizon, how could Samantha Adams not be excited?
…
Elsewhere, Greg Jensen and Cole Barnett exited the airport and found a nearby small hotel to rent a room by the hour to change their clothes.
Cole Barnett sat in front of a mirror and began to apply makeup to himself, while Greg Jensen went straight into the inner room and changed his face to that of Barry Wolfe.
Cole Barnett turned himself into a sallow-faced middle-aged man, checked his reflection for flaws, and only after being satisfied did he stand up.
“Your Disguise Technique is really good; where did you learn it?”
“Hmph, it’s just one of the skills passed down by my master, a trick among the many of the Thousand Doors craft. It’s nothing special compared to what you, Mr. Jensen… Holy shit…”
Cole Barnett spoke as he turned around, but when he looked at Greg Jensen’s appearance, he was taken aback.
The last time he saw Greg Jensen in this guise, he hadn’t paid much attention, thinking Greg Jensen used the same method he did.
But this time, he immediately spotted the problem.
Disguising with makeup means each time the appearance could vary slightly.
After all, people are not machines, so a bit of difference is understandable.
But Greg Jensen’s current appearance is exactly the same as when he last attended the exchange meeting, even his complexion hasn’t changed in the slightest.
“Are you wearing a skin mask?”
Greg Jensen rolled his eyes and scolded with a laugh, “What era is it, where can I find human skin?”
Cole Barnett asked with curiosity, “Then this is…”
Greg Jensen said indifferently, “If it’s not your business, don’t snoop around.”
Cole Barnett shrank his head and smiled awkwardly, “Yes, yes, yes.”
“Alright, let’s get moving.”
“The car is ready, I rented it in advance, we can just drive there, it should take about four hours.”
After a while, when Greg Jensen saw the dilapidated jeep in front of him, his face instantly darkened, and he turned to ask:
“Are you saying you’re so poor you can’t even afford to rent a car? Renting such a piece of junk, aren’t you afraid it’ll break down in the mountains?”
“Heh heh, with a car, as long as it drives, it’s fine. What do you need a good one for?”
Cole Barnett chuckled and eagerly opened the car door for Greg Jensen, saying, “Boss, please get in the car, it’s got air conditioning. I’ve tried it, it works really well.”
Greg Jensen got into the car somewhat reluctantly.
Everything about Cole Barnett was fine, except that he was too stingy, not only with others but also with himself.
He and Max Milton had been partners for over ten years; Max had bought two houses and several cars, while he had nothing to show for it.
Apart from a few suits for appearances, the rest were accessories and watches that he absolutely needed to use.
All the money that was supposed to be his over the years, he had saved up.
“Keep pinching pennies then!”
Greg Jensen glared at him fiercely.
Cole Barnett didn’t mind and, with a sheepish smile, started the car and headed towards Red River County.
Red River County is adjacent to the vast Ten Thousand Mile Forest, and it’s a good few hundred kilometers from Daming City.
Fortunately, they were on the expressway the whole time and didn’t encounter any accidents.
However, as they exited the toll station, they suddenly saw an off-road vehicle traveling the same way, and aboard that vehicle were Samantha Adams and her group.
Greg Jensen pondered, “The place they’re going is indeed the same as ours.”
“Boss, they couldn’t be following us, could they?”
“Don’t worry about them.”
Greg Jensen’s expression turned slightly cold, “If they dare to stop us, then we’ll have to teach them a lesson.”
Cole Barnett smiled excitedly, waving his meaty fists, and said, “Let’s beat up that Julia Hall first; I’ve been annoyed with him for a long time.”
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “That guy is rather skilled, probably already in the late stage of Light Energy, and he’s about to enter Dark Strength.
What’s your cultivation level, can you take him on?”
“I…”
Cole Barnett’s face suddenly turned red, and he gave a sheepish laugh, no longer speaking.
…
As evening fell, the two cars entered Red River County town simultaneously.
Greg Jensen had thought that after entering the town, they would finally part ways with him, but unexpectedly, they were still heading the same direction.
He was immediately surprised and, after a moment of thought, frowned and said, “The middle-aged man, it couldn’t be him they’ve hired, could it?”
“The one you had me follow?”
“Yeah.”
Greg Jensen nodded.
Cole Barnett said, “I don’t know about that, but the tail behind that kid was cut off with our help, he actually owes us a favor.”
Before he had finished speaking, the two cars both stopped in front of a hotel.
After Julia Hall got out of the opposite car, she shouted at Greg Jensen, “Why are you following us?”
