Chapter 607: Chapter 607 Illusion_1

Megan Hall happened to be on vacation these past few days and planned to spend a couple of days playing in Danu. Upon learning that Greg Jensen had come to Daming City again, she invited him to go to the hot springs.

Going with her was her colleague, Kelsey Milton.

The sharp-faced and monkey-cheeked Huang Lao Liu, upon seeing two great beauties, couldn’t take his eyes off them. Megan Hall was out of his league, so he set his sights on Kelsey Milton.

Moreover, he didn’t dare to flaunt himself in front of Greg Jensen, so every time Greg left, he cautiously edged closer to Kelsey Milton.

This prompted Megan Hall to secretly ask Greg, “Is there something wrong with your friend’s brain?”

“What happened?” Greg asked, puzzled.

“You see for yourself.”

“Uh…”

Pfft!

Greg looked in the direction she was pointing, and immediately spat out all the wine in his mouth.

There was Huang Lao Liu, with a heap of hair gel on his head, combed as if licked by a calf, shiny and slick.

It was clear they came to play in the water by the pool, yet this guy wore a full suit, and his leather shoes were polished to a mirror shine.

Most importantly, he was holding a bouquet of roses and was sheepishly approaching Kelsey Milton, babbling something with a sheepish smile on his face.

Kelsey Milton was visibly panicked and helpless because of him.

Greg couldn’t stand it anymore, walked over to Huang Lao Liu, and kicked him straight into the swimming pool.

Kelsey Milton let out a startled cry and, somewhat worriedly, looked at Huang Lao Liu, saying, “Can he… can he swim?”

“He can, he’s quite a swimmer.”

Greg glanced at Huang Lao Liu in the water, then turned back and said, “Sorry about that, Kelsey. He’s been sick in the head since he was a child; he’ll sober up in the water in a bit.”

“So he’s sick… That explains it,” she said.

Kelsey Milton patted her chest, relieved, and said, “I’m going to find Melody now, okay?”

“Yeah, go ahead. I’ve got this. Once he’s sober, I’ll pull him up,” Greg replied.

Greg nodded and watched as Kelsey walked away.

“Senior Xu, I think I’m in love.”

Huang Lao Liu lay on the edge of the pool, only his wet head sticking out, staring longingly in the direction Kelsey Milton had gone.

Bang!

Greg turned back and delivered another kick, sending Huang Lao Liu back under the water.

All went quiet in the world.

After spending two days in the town next to Daming City, Greg and his companion set off for the market town, while Megan Hall and her companion were flying out on the next flight. The four went their separate ways.

Huang Lao Liu was quite reluctant to part with Kelsey Milton, even wanting to hold her hand and chat, but Greg dragged him away by the neck.

On the road, Huang Lao Liu couldn’t help complaining: “Senior Xu, you’re not only not helping with my future happiness, why did you even get in my way?”

Smack!

Greg hit him on the back of the head and said angrily, “Just drive properly, and stop thinking about nonsense. You’re not even looking at how old you are.”

At that moment, Huang Lao Liu had lost all the shrewdness and cunning he had in the cave, appearing aggrieved like a teenager going through puberty.

“I’m only forty-five.”

“Nonsense, she’s in her twenties. At your age, you could almost be her father.”

Huang Lao Liu defended himself, “Senior Xu, I’ve reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement now; I can live to be over one hundred and fifty years old. Proportionally speaking, I’m only eighteen this year.”

“Judging by your shameless attitude, you seem more like you’re eighty,” Greg replied.

Greg was somewhat speechless. Normally, Huang Lao Liu was a very shrewd person, but ever since he met Kelsey Milton, he seemed to have become a different person.

A complete love-struck fool!

Greg asked curiously, “You’re over forty. Haven’t you met someone you liked in all these years?”

Now suddenly becoming very talkative, Huang Lao Liu fell silent upon hearing his question.

After a long pause, he exhaled deeply and said slowly, “There was a girl I liked once, back when I first started cultivating.

We were together for seven years, even got to the point of discussing marriage when my enemies showed up at the door.”

“What happened in the end?”

“She died a tragic death.”

Upon hearing this, Greg Jensen couldn’t help falling silent. He was only spared because of his Thousand Illusion Spirit Mask; otherwise, his fate might not have been much better than Mr. Huang’s.

“And then?”

“After that, I never fell in love with another girl.”

Greg Jensen wondered, “Then why did you take an interest in Kelsey Milton?”

Mr. Huang didn’t respond. He pulled a wallet from his jacket pocket and handed it to Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen stretched out his hand to take it, and then started. He realized as soon as he held it that the wallet was made of leather, and it was of very poor quality at that.

In the market, such a wallet would cost at most fifteen yuan. Spending even a yuan more would be a waste.

Seeing this wallet turn up in anyone else’s possession wouldn’t have surprised him, but coming from Mr. Huang’s hands, it filled him with a strange sensation.

A sixth-level Qi Refinement Cultivator using a street stall wallet?

Who would believe that if it were told?

He guessed that there must be some story behind the wallet, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he gently opened the wallet, and a young girl’s photograph caught his eye.

The background of the photo was a beach, the sunlight beautiful, and the girl even more so, especially with that bright, healing smile that could seemingly cure all the pain in the world.

What’s more, the girl looked almost exactly like Kelsey Milton.

No wonder!

No wonder Mr. Huang had such a strong reaction when he saw Kelsey Milton.

Turns out Kelsey Milton and his ex-girlfriend looked so much alike. If it were him and he met someone who looked so much like Louisa Burley…

“Stop the car!”

Suddenly, with a loud roar that startled Mr. Huang, he slammed on the brakes, and the car jerked violently forward.

Greg Jensen took advantage of the momentum to open the car door and dash off in one direction.

The car had stopped in a square in Yangfu County, a place with a considerable amount of foot traffic. Mr. Huang quickly got out and followed suit.

Not far from there, they saw Greg Jensen standing in the middle of the square, his eyes scanning back and forth among the surrounding crowd.

Mr. Huang was perplexed, “Senior Xu, what’s the matter?”

Greg Jensen remained silent, his gaze still sweeping over the crowd, a light sweat forming on his forehead.

After a while, he let out a sigh and said in a hoarse voice, “Never mind, let’s go.”

“Alright.”

Mr. Huang didn’t know what had happened, but he could clearly sense that Greg Jensen’s mood had plummeted.

Back in the car, Mr. Huang continued to drive while Greg Jensen sat in the passenger seat, lost in contemplation.

Just now, he thought he had seen Louisa Burley’s figure.

But after getting out of the car, she vanished. He released all his Divine Sense, yet still couldn’t find her.

Ultimately, he had to put it down to a hallucination brought on by his excessive longing.

“Maybe I saw wrong,”

Greg Jensen consoled himself.

…

Yangfu County, People’s Square.

Trey Holmes glanced at Louisa Burley and sighed, “You’re relieved now, right? The boss… he’s very powerful, these people can’t do anything to him.”

When she mentioned “the boss,” she paused first, her expression turning gloomy as she let out a soft sigh.

“Mhm.”

Louisa Burley looked in the direction Greg Jensen had departed, and only after a long time did she nod and say, “Let’s head back.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Trey Holmes, with a cheerful smile, suggested, “We can’t just come here for nothing, let’s go shopping first.”
