Chapter 469 -469: Checks and Balances_1
The sun was three poles high, yet the gate of the villa remained closed.
Old Zhao, Old Hu, and others felt anxious but didn’t dare to leave, nor did they dare to voice a complaint.
Just then, three luxury cars arrived.
“Glen Wolfe, it’s Glen Wolfe and his people.”
Everyone’s eyes brightened as they hurried over, and some even eagerly stepped forward to open the car door for Glen Wolfe.
“Old Wolfe, you’re finally here. Please, can you ask when we can go in?”
“Yeah, we’ve been waiting for the better part of a day and the gate hasn’t been opened yet.”
Feeling the keen gaze of the crowd, Glen Wolfe couldn’t help but feel a bit elated.
Among the four families, the Wolfe family was considered at the bottom.
These small family heads who once followed the Milton family never paid him any respect, but now they were eagerly opening his car door.
Lucky he was smart enough to cling to the boss, this sturdy tree.
At this moment, Glen Wolfe had completely forgotten how he used to complain about getting too close to Barry Wolfe initially.
He was secretly smug in his heart, yet his face remained expressionless as he calmly said, “The boss might not be up yet, you’d better wait here a bit longer.”
“Well… alright then.”
Glen Wolfe nodded and said to Trent Preston and Simon Cooper, “Old Preston, Old Cooper, let’s go in first.”
Simon Cooper said with a chuckle, “Alright, we’ll need Old Wolfe to show us the way.”
Trent Preston followed behind with an expressionless face, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Simon Cooper quickly gave him a look, signaling him not to act rashly.
Both were in a precarious position, and Glen Wolfe was Alex Wolfe’s favored individual. It was unwise to offend Glen Wolfe at this moment.
Glen Wolfe led the two men to the door and pressed the doorbell; the housekeeper immediately came out, and upon seeing Glen Wolfe, she opened the gate.
“Please come in, gentlemen.”
“Haha, thank you, Old Wolfe.”
Simon Cooper laughed heartily as he entered the villa with Trent Preston.
After entering the villa and learning that Greg Jensen was having a meal, Glen Wolfe led the two men to the tea room to wait.
Greg Jensen wasn’t in a hurry; he finished his meal at a leisurely pace, then returned to his study to read some leisure books for a while before instructing Glen Wolfe to bring the two men to his study.
“Please have a seat.”
Greg Jensen seated himself behind the desk and quietly observed the three men.
The air in the study grew somewhat still.
Trent Preston was better off; he made eye contact with Greg Jensen before promptly lowering his head.
Simon Cooper didn’t even dare to take a glance.
If Troy Milton, backed by the Stuart family, was killed just like that, what about himself, Simon Cooper?
“The assets of the Green family, the Wolfe family gets twenty percent, each of you gets ten percent, and set aside forty percent to be given to the Ford and Simmons families.”
Upon hearing this, Simon Cooper and the other man couldn’t help but be secretly alarmed, thinking how decisively Greg Jensen acted, with no preamble and straight to the point.
Glen Wolfe had already grown accustomed to Greg Jensen’s pace and was ecstatic to hear that he would receive a full twenty percent.
However, he quickly realized something and lifted his head in confusion, murmuring, “Which Ford family?”
“And which Simmons family?” Trent Preston was equally baffled.
A thought crossed Simon Cooper’s mind, “Do you mean the Ford and Simmons families from the provincial city?”
“Exactly, those two families.”
“But…”
Glen Wolfe was somewhat reluctant, considering all the efforts he had made to secure only twenty percent, while the Ford and Simmons families hadn’t done anything and were going to receive the same?
Why was that?
He expressed his dissatisfaction, “Boss, this… doesn’t seem quite fair, does it?”

“Oh?”
“`
Greg Jensen’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Then tell me, what would be considered appropriate?”
The icy tone made Glen Wolfe shiver involuntarily, snapping to attention. He hurriedly said, “Boss, I… I misspoke. I’m getting on in years and when you reach my age, you tend to blabber, please don’t take it personally.”
“You’re old?”
Greg Jensen looked at him with a half-smile, “If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t talk anymore.”
“Right…”
Before he could finish speaking, Greg Jensen gave him a cold glance. Glen Wolfe shivered again and quickly sealed his lips shut.
Greg Jensen glanced at him, aware that Glen Wolfe still had reservations, and said lightly, “While I was at the military camp, I received favors from Bradley Ford.”
He didn’t continue, but Glen Wolfe and the others all understood.
It’s about returning a favor, after all, reciprocation is human nature.
But, the gift from the boss is rather hefty.
After all, the Milton Family, the Preston Family, the Cooper Family, and the Wolfe Family are known as the four major dynasties, yet their combined assets might not surpass the Green family’s.
Forty percent of the assets, that’s not a small amount.
One could foresee that if these two families really received so much property, they would leapfrog to become the wealthiest family in the provincial city, even rivaling the Wolfe Family.
Trent Preston’s eyes widened in shock at Greg Jensen’s generosity.
Simon Cooper, however, frowned in contemplation, wondering what kind of favor the Ford family had given to make him willing to trade it for the Green family’s assets.
The three men had different thoughts but remained silent.
For a time, the study became quiet again.
“Alright, that’s settled then.”
Greg Jensen didn’t ask for their opinion, making the decision on his own, and instructed Glen Wolfe to call in the small family heads waiting outside.
Because he wanted to use the Ford and Simmons families to help the Peach Blossom and Twin Phoenix conglomerates quickly establish a foothold in the provincial city.
Although the Ford, Simmons, and Wolfe families were reliable, it was the Peach Blossom and Twin Phoenix conglomerates that were his foundation.
He needed to create a strong fallback for himself, so he could roam the world without any worries.
And he couldn’t possibly let the Wolfe family be the only dominant force; there had to be a balance of power.
Soon, Old Song and the others were led in.
“Nice to see you, Mr. Wolfe.”
Old Song was the first to greet them and also gave Greg Jensen a deep bow, looking every inch the toady.
Seeing this, the others internally cursed him for being shameless, yet dared not to show it on their faces.
Greg Jensen glanced at them and said indifferently, “As for the remaining ten percent of the Green family’s assets, let them divide it.”
“Also, what’s the situation with the Milton family? Take another twenty percent from the Milton family and give it to them.”
Hiss!
Hearing Greg Jensen’s words, the small family heads couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
They were willing to accept the Green family’s assets, who wouldn’t want free benefits?
But the Milton family’s assets were a different story.
As everyone knew, Troy Milton’s sister, Naomi Milton, was married to Mr. Stuart, and although Troy Milton had died, his sister was still alive.
At such a time, who would dare to join that fray?
They understood that Greg Jensen intended to push them to a confrontational stance against the Milton family.
In doing so, they would have no choice but to band together and face the pressure from the Stuart family.
Greg Jensen’s intentions were too cruel; could their small statures withstand the wrath of the Stuart family?
Suddenly, someone blurted out, “Mr. Wolfe, I don’t want the Milton family’s assets, I don’t want the Green family’s either.”
In his view, while the Green family’s assets were a sweet date, the Milton family’s assets were poison.
He knew he couldn’t just refuse the poison and take the sweet date, so he decided to reject both.
I don’t want any of it; that should be fine now, right?
