The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Determination_1

Simon Cooper did not argue; he just looked at Troy Milton expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Troy Milton said indifferently, “As for helping the Stuart Family with their affairs, it’s also for our own benefit.

Think about it, if the Stuart Family wasn’t there, would you dare to compete with Barry Wolfe for the Green Family’s assets?”

“Just tell me what you mean,” Simon Cooper said indifferently.

In his opinion, opposing Barry Wolfe was unwise.

Even if Barry Wolfe had no connections in the provincial city and couldn’t contend with the Stuart Family, he was still an Authentic Master and so young.

It can be said that with Barry Wolfe’s current cultivation, reaching the threshold of the Master Realm by the age of fifty would not be difficult at all.

For now, you can bully Barry Wolfe with the power of the Stuart Family, but what about after he becomes a Master Realm powerhouse?

By that time, even the Stuart Family would have to cower and tremble at Barry Wolfe’s feet, let alone a small family from the provincial city; what would you have to compete with?

Troy Milton watched Simon Cooper’s expression and suddenly smiled, saying, “I know what you’re worried about—it’s just the fear that Barry Wolfe will seek revenge in the future, right?”

His face turned slightly cold as he said, “That’s actually simple; as long as we kill him, wouldn’t there be no more trouble?”

Upon hearing this, Simon Cooper’s pupils suddenly narrowed, and even Trent Preston, who was beside him, looked gravely serious.

“That’s a Grandmaster; it’s not like you can just say kill and kill.”

Simon Cooper instinctively lowered his voice as if afraid of being overheard.

“If I can’t kill him, then I’ll hire someone to kill him; if the person I hire can’t kill him, then I’ll ask the Stuart Family to take out Barry Wolfe.”

Troy Milton’s face had completely chilled, his eyes narrowing with a menacing glint, “In any case, we absolutely cannot let Barry Wolfe live!”

“No, it’s too risky!”

Simon Cooper flatly rejected Troy Milton’s idea.

According to Troy Milton’s plan, if it succeeded, there would be no problem, but if it failed and angered Barry Wolfe, who could withstand a Grandmaster’s assassination?

Barry Wolfe wouldn’t need a direct confrontation; just targeting their families outside would be enough to overwhelm them.

Moreover, Troy Milton was only in his forties; he was still young with many possibilities.

Even if the Milton Family fell from his hands, he had plenty of time to plot a comeback.

But what about himself?

He was already in his fifties. If the Cooper Family fell, he would likely never have the chance to see the family rise again in his lifetime.

The teahouse fell silent in an instant.

Troy Milton took a sip from his tea cup, then raised his head, looking at Simon Cooper’s inscrutable face, he said lightly:

“Old Cooper, don’t blame me for not reminding you—I will explain today’s conversation to the Stuart Family in detail, to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

Having said all there is to say, it’s still up to you to decide which path to take.”

After speaking, he glanced again at the silent Trent Preston, his mouth curving into a sneer.

He wasn’t worried about Trent Preston; that man was a simpleton. As long as he played the Stuart Family card, the other party would surely follow his lead.

Now, only Simon Cooper was left unresolved.

Troy Milton had considered going directly to the Stuart Family to handle this, but then, he wouldn’t have much credit to claim in the matter.

Troy Milton was in his forties. His greatest wish now was to advance further and become a Grandmaster.

There are many ways to achieve Grandmaster status, but they can generally be divided into two categories.

One method relies on one’s own understanding of the Martial Way and accumulation, grinding it out over time.

The advantage of this method is that the kung fu is more solid, and the flow of True Qi is smoother during combat.

The disadvantage is that it requires extremely high talent, and also takes a long time.

Another method is to take elixirs, which forcibly break through to the Master Realm by consuming them.

The advantage of this method is obvious, simple and efficient, as long as one’s realm is sufficient, and with an Elixir for the breakthrough at hand, one can break through at any time.

The disadvantage is also clear: those who break through with an Elixir are somewhat weaker than those who do so on their own.

More importantly, such Elixirs are extremely precious, and most people can’t afford them even if they have the money, and Troy Milton belongs to this group.

The reason he works so hard for the Stuart Family is exactly because he hopes to use the Stuart Family’s power to find an Elixir for himself.

Moreover, this method of breakthrough has a certain chance of failure, and one Elixir might not be enough.

Troy Milton had thought it through; such Elixirs are rare, and why would the Stuart Family give him one if he didn’t hold significant value to them?

Wouldn’t it be better to use it to cultivate their own people?

In fact, with Troy Milton’s talent, having reached half-step Master by his forties, he would definitely become a Grandmaster if he just focused on his cultivation.

But he couldn’t wait.

Because he had even more ambitious goals.

He wanted to be a strong Grandmaster, even a transcendent practitioner who could surpass the entirety of the seven provinces.

To achieve this goal, he had to become a Grandmaster as soon as possible and dedicate all the remaining time to breaking through to the transcendent realm.

Besides, Troy Milton had another reason to kill Barry Wolfe.

The Green family had stood tall in the provincial city for many years, pressing down on the four major families beneath them and shouldering the Stuart Family above them, causing both tiers to lose a lot of interests.

Nathan Green’s death was a cause for celebration for all; the Stuart Family did not want to see a second Green Family emerge, and neither did people like Troy Milton.

Troy Milton didn’t care about the Stuart Family’s attitude toward Barry Wolfe, but he knew that he could only be at ease if Barry Wolfe died.

The tearoom was terrifyingly quiet.

Watching Simon Cooper struggle, Troy Milton knew the time was nearly right.

Suddenly he smiled and said, “Old Cooper, why are you still hesitating? With the support of the Stuart Family, by killing Barry Wolfe, you will not only have no more worries but will also gain the Green Family’s assets. Why not do it?

And even if you don’t get involved, can you guarantee that Wolfe won’t cause you trouble?”

Simon Cooper’s expression stiffened slightly, then he let out a long sigh and said, “Speak, how do you plan to do it?”

“That’s right!”

Troy Milton smiled, “Trent, go and call the other families in.”

“Okay.”

Trent Preston, who had been silent, stood up and went outside to call in several Family Heads who had been waiting for a while.

All these families were small, completely dependent on their three families, and naturally, they were all summoned this time.

Troy Milton looked at everyone and said indifferently, “The reason I called you here is mainly to deal with one person.”

“Mr. Milton, just say the word. Our Hall Family will definitely be the first to charge,” one of them stated.

“Step aside, it’s our Walker Family that should take the lead.” The small Family Heads were all expressing loyalty, vying to take the lead.

Troy Milton waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for you to lead the charge this time because even I can’t handle this person.”

Hearing his words, the small Family Heads already had a guess and their faces changed in unison. Those who had just clamored to take the lead now all fell silent.
