The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 562 - Son-in-law_1

Chapter 562: Chapter 562 Son-in-law_1

Greg Jensen, under Zachary Hall’s guidance, came to the study and realized after entering that the study wasn’t actually that big.

The old master Hall sat behind his desk and asked bluntly, “Does Grandmaster Wolfe plan on joining the Union of Seven Provinces?”

Greg’s heart tensed slightly, but his face remained impassive; he nodded and said, “That’s right, I do have this idea, but it seems the other six families aren’t too keen on it.”

“If Grandmaster Wolfe doesn’t join the Union of Seven Provinces, then naturally it would become the Union of Six. They would get more benefits; it’s normal for them to be unhappy,” said Zachary Hall.

His gaze piercing, the old master Hall looked at Greg and said, “That’s not the point. The point is, what does Grandmaster Wolfe mean?”

Greg caught a slightly different implication in his words and felt a stir in his heart.

...

He asked curiously, “What do you mean? Does the Hall family want to help me join the Union of Seven Provinces?”

Greg spoke casually, but suddenly he realized that the Halls had all fallen silent, their deep gazes fixed on him.

The old master Hall spoke slowly, “There’s no point hiding it; our Hall family indeed intends to help.”

“Oh?”

At this, Greg’s interest was piqued, and he asked in return, “And how do you plan to help?”

Austin Hall said, “We can offer you Cultivation Techniques, weapons, information on adversaries, and other forms of assistance you might need.”

Greg listened, his interest waning, and asked in return, “What do you want?”

Austin Hall said gravely, “We need you to stand with the Hall family when we require assistance.”

“For example?”

Greg couldn’t help being somewhat curious; how could the Hall family, a Neutral Clan in the Union of Seven Provinces, be in any danger?

A solemn expression crossed Austin Hall’s face, “For instance, when certain individuals no longer wish for the Hall family to hold this position.”

Greg’s expression changed subtly, instantly understanding—the Hall family’s standing was no longer stable, hence their desire to seek external support to garner more backing within the Union.

Apart from him, it was likely that the other six families did not wish for the Hall family to retain their position.

Understanding the situation, Greg couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I might turn against you when the time comes?”

Austin spoke calmly, “Once you’re the Hall family’s son-in-law, there’s nothing to fear.”

“So this is your game,” realized Greg, chuckling lightly, “What if I don’t agree?”

“Then I’m sorry, but you better stay away from Melody,” said Austin.

“We don’t want my daughter to be saddened by any conflict between us.”

Upon hearing this, Greg was momentarily taken aback, and couldn’t help but think of Miss Zhou.

After a moment of silence, he said, “I may not marry Melody.”

“If Grandmaster Wolfe were to become the Hall family’s son-in-law, that would be cause for celebration, but even if not, it doesn’t really matter. I believe in Grandmaster Wolfe’s character,” the old master Hall peered at Austin and said, “Let the kids handle their own affairs.

If you truly care for Melody, then you shouldn’t link her emotions with the family’s interests.”

“Yes, I understand,” Austin nodded and said.

The old master Hall looked at Greg with a genial smile and asked, “Grandmaster Wolfe, have you made your decision?”

“I have agreed.”

Since the other party didn’t care whether he married or not, what was there for him to worry about?

Free gains are not to be declined!

“Hahaha, so… do we have a pleasant cooperation?”

“A pleasant cooperation!”

The old master of the Hall family seemed very happy and said to Austin Hall, “Austin, take Grandmaster Barry to the treasure vault. Whatever Grandmaster Barry can use, don’t be stingy, agree to all.”

“Yes, Father.”

Austin Hall also felt a great weight lift from his heart. Even though he had not secured his daughter’s marriage, he had at least secured an ally for the Hall family.

Gauging from Barry Wolfe’s past experiences, he was a man who valued relationships. Now that he had formed an alliance as well, Austin was sure it was the right move.

His demeanor softened slightly, and with a smile, he said, “Grandmaster Barry, please…”

Greg Jensen nodded to the old master of the Hall family and then followed Austin Hall to the basement. After making a couple of turns, Austin opened a hidden door in one corner.

It must be said that the Hall family, with a heritage spanning hundreds of years, designed their treasure vault quite distinctively.

Greg had visited many family treasure vaults but had never seen one with such a sense of technology like the Hall family’s.

Infrared sensors, fingerprint locks, iris scans and so on—after passing through various verifications, they finally opened a heavy alloy door to enter the treasure vault of the Hall family.

“Over here are some cultivation techniques, and over there are the weapons. Grandmaster Barry, feel free to take what you need.”

“Okay.”

After speaking, Austin stopped at the entrance while Greg strolled inside.

He first wandered around the cultivation technique area, flipping through every technique on display only to find that they were all common techniques, which left him quite disappointed.

After turning a corner, a row of weapon racks appeared before him.

Spying the cold, gleaming weapons, Greg’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes, maces, hooks, forks—although not every single one of the eighteen types of weapons was there, all the commonly-used ones were present without exception.

Especially the swords and knives, which were in abundant supply.

With regards to knives, from early ring-pommel sabres and Tang cross knives to later goose-quill sabres and horse-chopping sabres, there were two or three of each type, and even the curved knives used by early nomadic tribes appeared in several varieties.

Greg’s gaze ultimately settled on a very strange knife.

While the other knives were displayed unsheathed, with the blade and scabbard placed separately to show their sharp, cold light at a glance, this knife was different; it remained sheathed. It resembled a Tang cross knife but had a slight curvature.

Yet the curve was so slight that it didn’t resemble a Japanese blade.

Entirely black, without a guard, from a distance, it looked like a twisted fire poker.

Then, Austin Hall, who had walked over at some point, suddenly said, “Grandmaster Barry, I advise against taking that knife.”

“Oh? Is there a story behind this knife?” Greg asked curiously.

Austin replied with a serious look, “Because ever since this knife came into existence, it has changed hands over a dozen times, and all of its owners have met untimely deaths!”

“Is this knife that fierce?”

Greg was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but reach out to hold the knife in his hand.

A rich dark energy swept over him from the blade instantly, as if coming to life, frantically surging into Greg’s body.

Greg understood then that all the previous owners of the knife must have died from the excessive dark energy invading their bodies.

He just wondered what the knife had gone through for its dark energy to be so intense?

As for handling dark energy, Greg was quite experienced. Feeling the frantic influx of dark energy, he was not alarmed but rather pleased and immediately started to use the Guidance Technique to refine it.
