Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Not a Difficult Choice_1

After eating and drinking, Ethan Locke accompanied Jay Brent back to the second-floor balcony.

Looking down at the over a hundred people gathered in the yard, Ethan Locke’s lips curled into a relaxed smile.

With so many people around, and the addition of the twenty-odd Bright Strength Warriors the Locke family had, as long as Greg Jensen dared to come, he would certainly not be able to escape.

“Uncle, send some food down to the boys, let them come into the villa to get warm,” he said.

“All right.”

The Locke family’s ship was on the verge of capsizing, and the only hope lay on Ethan Locke’s shoulders, to the extent that Alan Locke, his uncle, had no complaints about his nephew’s orders.

…

As daybreak came, Greg Jensen awoke on time, playing briefly with a peach before he casually picked up his phone to check the time, only to see the message Jay Brent had sent him.

“My family has been kidnapped?”

Greg Jensen’s gaze sharpened, and then he became somewhat puzzled, “The message says there are old people and women involved, could it be… ”

Peach Blossom Village ran into trouble?

He immediately came to his senses and hurried to call Boss Liu, instructing him to check on his family back home.

Five minutes later, Boss Liu called back, his tone filled with panic, “Boss, it’s bad, there’s been a big problem.

I just had Third Brother send someone to check on your house, not only is Lindsey Wolfe missing, but so are the Second and Third Uncles and everyone else.”

Upon hearing this, Greg Jensen immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

My aunt, Second Uncle, and the others have been captured!

And they were in Ethan Locke’s hands!

There was no need to think about it, when they were captured, Second Uncle and the others must have encountered violence.

Thinking of Second Uncle’s age, and that he had to suffer because of himself, Greg Jensen was filled with regret and anger.

“You son of a bitch, only know how to play dirty, huh?”

Greg Jensen roared in anger, startling Lois Abbott who was beside him awake.

She looked at Greg Jensen in bewilderment and asked, “Greg, what’s wrong?”

“Heh…”

Greg Jensen let out a heavy breath and shook his head, “It’s nothing, just stay at home and don’t go anywhere today, wait for me to come back.”

“Okay.”

Lois Abbott could tell something serious must have happened, but since Greg Jensen didn’t say, she didn’t ask further, obediently nodding her head.

Greg Jensen kissed her on the forehead, dressed quickly, and rushed downstairs.

In the kitchen, his assistant was preparing breakfast. Seeing that her boss was about to leave, she couldn’t help asking, “Boss, where are you going? Do you need me to come with you?”

“No need, just stay at home with Miss Lois today, don’t go anywhere!”

“Oh!”

Greg Jensen gave a casual order and then rushed out of the villa. Once he was in the car, he suddenly calmed down again.

If Ethan Locke did such a thing, then he certainly must want something, and what he wanted could be none other than the Fragrant Spirit Grass.

Up to this point, it seemed that only the Fragrant Spirit Grass could save the Locke family.

Since he wanted something, he would undoubtedly call him.

Realizing this, Greg Jensen calmed down even more, sat in the car to steady his emotions, and held his phone in his hand, waiting for Ethan Locke’s call.

Before long, his phone indeed rang, the call from an unfamiliar number.

Greg Jensen did not rush to answer, letting the ringtone sound for almost ten seconds before lifting his hand to pick it up.

The call quickly connected, and Ethan Locke’s slightly hoarse voice came through, “Hello, Greg Jensen, this is Ethan Locke.”

“Ethan Locke? Just speak frankly, I don’t have time to dilly-dally with you,” Greg Jensen said indifferently.

Ethan Locke chuckled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing major, I just wanted to send you a gift.”

“Sorry, but I’m not acquainted with you, so let’s forget about the gift. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

Greg Jensen’s voice was steady, showing no signs of perturbation, as if completely unaware.

Ethan Locke grew even more excited and said, “Don’t you care about what kind of gift I’m going to give you?”

“Sorry, not interested.”

Greg Jensen said impatiently, “Do you have something to say or not? If not, I’m hanging up.”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

Hearing that Greg Jensen seemed about to actually hang up, Ethan Locke immediately panicked, his voice taking on a chilly edge:

“If you dare hang up, I guarantee that your aunt and your second uncle will go meet your dead parents right now.”

“Heh, my aunt and second uncle? You sure have dug up a lot of dirt on me,” Greg Jensen said with a mock cold laugh.

Yet, in his heart, he was secretly mulling over his next move.

“Don’t believe me, huh? Fine, let me let you listen to their voices.”

The next second, Ethan Locke shouted into the phone, “Speak up, tell Greg Jensen to hurry up and come rescue you, otherwise, I’ll chop off your fingers.”

“Greg, come save me…”

Lindsey Wolfe said through her sobs.

Hearing her crying, the thoughts Greg Jensen had just organized were once again thrown into disarray.

“Ethan Locke, what do you want?”

“Fragrant Spirit Grass, I want Fragrant Spirit Grass!”

Ethan Locke panted with urgency, “You bring the Fragrant Spirit Grass over here right away, or I’ll slaughter them now.

Oh, by the way, your aunt’s not bad looking; she’s got a great figure too. Even though she’s a bit country, I’ve never really had a village woman before.

How about this, if you don’t hurry up and bring the Fragrant Spirit Grass over, I’ll have some fun with your aunt first. If she pleases me well enough, I might just spare her life. What do you think?”

“You fucking dare!”

Although Greg Jensen had already received the message, Ethan Locke’s words still completely ignited the fury in his heart.

“If you fucking dare touch a finger on her, I’ll flay you alive!”

“Hahahaha…”

Before Greg Jensen could finish, a wild laugh erupted from Ethan Locke on the phone.

“I’ve already fucking lost my home, do you think I fear your threats?”

Ethan Locke said coldly, “I’ll send you an address soon, bring the Fragrant Spirit Grass there immediately.

Do as I say, and I might just let them go, otherwise…”

“You motherfu…”

Greg Jensen wanted to say something else, but the phone had already been hung up.

At this moment, he couldn’t help feeling utterly distraught.

The Fragrant Spirit Grass was crucial for his advancement to Foundation Establishment; if he were to give it up now, he might never be able to reach Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

But right now, his aunt and second uncle were in Ethan Locke’s hands; if he didn’t give him the Fragrant Spirit Grass, there was no telling what outrageous acts he might commit.

Greg Jensen hesitated only for an instant before quickly making up his mind.

“I can find Fragrant Spirit Grass again, and if it comes to it, I’ll give up on Foundation Establishment. After all, becoming a Cultivator is already a huge win.

If my aunt and second uncle get hurt because of this, then it would be too late for any regrets!”

Greg Jensen returned to the villa, took the Fragrant Spirit Grass, and headed to the location sent by Ethan Locke.

“I can’t follow his rhythm, or else I’ll always be at his mercy!”

On the way, Greg Jensen began to think of ways to break the situation.

But, after racking his brains, other than handing over the Fragrant Spirit Grass, there seemed to be no other solution.

Do I really have to hand over the Fragrant Spirit Grass?

Greg Jensen’s complexion turned ashen, for he knew that even if he handed over the Fragrant Spirit Grass, this matter would probably not be over.

Just then, Jay Brent’s call came through.
