Chapter 415: Chapter 415: That’s Life_1
Louisa Burley felt a touch of melancholy, she didn’t know why, but every time she dreamed at midnight, she would remember that figure.
Recalling their trips to the amusement park and riding the roller coaster together.
Remembering those hands that were not quite honest and those strong, solid arms.
She knew she had fallen.
But whenever she felt this way, she would unconsciously break out in a cold sweat.
She was acutely aware that if she got involved with Greg Jensen, she would surely bring harm upon him.
Perhaps it was fate!
Louisa Burley sighed softly, now all she wanted was to spend as much time as possible with Greg Jensen in the limited time she had.
To alleviate her own longing, and also, she hoped to leave some impressions in Greg’s heart.
In that way, when she left, at least he would remember her, right?
At that moment, Vivian Shimpson suddenly pulled Louisa’s arm excitedly, saying, “Louisa, look, the martial arts tournament is starting.”
“Ah, it’s starting?”
Louisa looked up blankly, just in time to see an old man descending from the VIP stand on the side of the arena and then slowly making his way to the center of the stage.
The old man had a regal temperament, standing in the center of the stage like a steep mountain peak.
The depth of his eyes, with a piercing cold light, was like that of a sovereign, disdainfully overlooking all beneath.
Every person involved in the Martial Way who he looked at would subconsciously close their mouths.
Because he was the famous grandmaster of Qin Province—Nathan Green!
Utter silence!
The tense atmosphere spread rapidly so that even the tourists who had no idea what was going on were silently closing their lips and holding their breath.
Louisa wondered, “Huh, why is everyone not talking?”
He Jun, standing beside her, changed his facial expression and hurriedly said in a low voice, “Miss Louisa, don’t talk nonsense; this man is the most powerful figure in our Qin Province, the grandmaster Nathan Green of the Green family.”
“Grandmaster, is he very powerful?”
“Uh…”
He Jun, seeing the puzzled look on Louisa’s face, felt his heart melting and quickly explained:
“Grandmaster Green has once scared off thirteen martial experts who came to challenge him. Tell me, isn’t he powerful?”
“That is quite impressive,” she nodded, suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up with excitement, “Hey, I wonder who is more powerful between him and big brother Greg.”
“Big brother Greg?”
He Jun looked puzzled and turned to Valeria Shimpson.
Valeria Shimpson pursed her lips, “The big brother Greg she’s talking about is just an ordinary person who’s good at fighting.”
He Jun couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head, “Miss Louisa, Grandmaster Green is not someone ordinary people can compare to.
His excellency has skills that interact with natural laws, and he might even try to break through to the realm of legends.
You know, once someone enters that realm, they are no longer within the limits of mortal flesh.”
Curiously, Valeria Shimpson asked, “Not of mortal flesh? What is that, an Immortal?”
“Pretty much,” replied He Jun, not sure what the realm actually entailed, only embellishing as per the myths.
Louisa listened from the side, her thoughts drifting back to her childhood.
It was a tribulation predestined in her life, which she serendipitously met with a—fortunately—easy resolution.
The man had an extraordinary demeanor, like a banished Immortal, radiating a cool detachment that made people want to approach him yet fear sullying that beauty.
As she recollected memories from her childhood, Louisa’s eyes became somewhat misty.
Gradually, Greg Jensen’s figure appeared before her eyes.
She suddenly realized that Greg’s temperament was also extraordinary, and upon closer inspection, there was indeed an ethereal and transcendent air about him.
Thinking of Greg, a smile immediately curled on Amande’s lips.
“What are you grinning about now?”
Valeria Shimpson pushed Amande and said, “The young master from the Preston family is talking to you.”
“Ah, sorry…”
Amande came back to her senses, her face slightly red, and said apologetically, “Sorry, I was spacing out just now.”
“It’s okay.”
He Jun smiled embarrassedly, trying to save some face, “With the Grandmaster from the Green family, there’s naturally an indescribable aura.
It’s normal to be overwhelmed when you meet Grandmaster Green for the first time.”
Amande blinked, pondered his words, and couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile, “Does your Preston family also have a Grandmaster?”
He Jun’s expression froze for a moment, then he said pridefully, “Although our Preston family doesn’t have a Grandmaster, we have two half-step Grandmasters.
In the territory of Qin Province, we are an absolute first-class family, only one level below the Green family.”
Vivian Shimpson said, “Amande, you might not know what being a first-class family means. Let me put it this way so you’ll understand.
All the profitable industries in Qin Province, after the Green family takes their pick, belong to the first-class families.
The smaller second and third-tier families probably can’t even sip the soup.
And our Shimpson family, and your Burley family, we’re not even comparable to the second and third-tier families.”
Amande was dumbstruck, “Really? Are they that powerful? But… why do I feel that this Grandmaster Green doesn’t seem all that impressive?”
“Um…”
He Jun smiled awkwardly, about to speak when his assistant suddenly walked over and whispered something to him.
He Jun hesitated, then said with a smile, “Miss Burley, Miss Shimpson, I need to take care of something. Please excuse me.”
“Sure, go ahead with your business.”
Amande waved her hand nonchalantly.
Vivian Shimpson could only give an awkward smile, watching He Jun leave, and then turned around and said somewhat reproachfully,
“Amande, the young master from the Preston family is so good, why aren’t you taking it seriously?”
“Why take it so seriously? I have Greg and that’s enough.”
“You…”
Vivian Shimpson was frustrated and angrily said, “How is he inferior to Greg?”
Amande was taken aback, thought for a while, and then seriously began counting on her fingers, “First of all, his medical skills are not as good as Greg’s.
Secondly, he can’t fight as well as Greg…”
“Hold on a second!”
Vivian Shimpson said in disbelief, “I admit they might not have medical skills, but how do you know He Jun can’t fight as well as Greg?
He’s from a Martial Way family, has been practicing kung fu since he was a kid, could he still be like Greg, a mere country bumpkin?”
“Yeah, he really isn’t as good as Greg,” Amande nodded earnestly.
“How is that possible?”
Vivian Shimpson’s mouth was about to reach the sky as she said, “I think you’re just biased. In your eyes, Greg is better than anyone else.”
“Hehe.”
Amande didn’t argue, just curled up her mouth and laughed.
At that moment, a man suddenly walked up to Amande and said, “So here you are, I’ve been looking for you.”
“Greg!”
Seeing Greg, Amande stood up excitedly.
But Vivian Shimpson’s face turned cold, and she frowned, “Greg? What are you doing here?”
“Do I need to report to you wherever I go?”
Greg couldn’t care less about Vivian Shimpson and took a seat next to the empty spot, chatting with Amande.
