Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Trifles

After a while of cultivation, Peter Brown seemed very happy, as he had made progress in his attacking methods.

When he came out of his room, Peter thought about the phone call from the Thompson Family, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"Peter, what happened?" Adonis Harrison asked upon seeing Peter’s expression.

"There’s been some trouble in our province."

Lawrence Baxter said, "Tell us what happened in your province. We might be able to help you, as we are all quite capable."

Peter thought it made sense that these people were cultivators with higher levels; they must have had some background. So, he told them about the phone call from Edward Martin.

"So it’s that!"

Everyone seemed to have relaxed after hearing the news.

"Let me make a phone call to inquire."

Adonis Harrison then took out a satellite phone and made a call.

After a while, Adonis Harrison smiled and said, "I found out what happened. It’s because Edward Martin’s father offended someone from the Lin Family, specifically, Thomas Woods, the third young master."

Lawrence Baxter also laughed, "If it’s just Thomas Woods’ doing, then it’s not a big deal."

Adonis Harrison said, "It’s just everyone playing along out of respect for the Lin Family. Who’d have thought that Henry Martin would compete with Thomas Woods for a woman when he was young."

David Smith also laughed, "There’s a guy named Thomas Woods who’s said to have been in seclusion for more than 20 years; has his cultivation improved now?"

"Yes, it’s said that he has reached the Qi Refining First Layer, making him the first person in the Lin Family to have achieved that."

It was apparent that they didn’t take the Lin Family seriously.

Bowen Walter looked at Adonis Harrison and asked, "Can you help with this?"

Adonis Harrison proudly said, "It’s a small matter!"

A small matter?

Peter was quite surprised by Adonis Harrison’s words.

Seeing Peter’s expression, Adonis Harrison laughed, "To the secular world, the Lin Family is a formidable family and one in the Southland. But, for us, their foundation is simply not enough. A family that doesn’t even have a Qi Refining Stage cultivator is not up to par."

Peter realized that they could help him with this matter and said, "If Henry Martin can continue his development according to the original plan, let it be. If you can help, I’ll give you a Clearing Mind Pill."

Clearing Mind Pill?

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

Peter said, "It’s just a regular elixir that can enhance some spiritual power."

Enhance spiritual power!

To Peter’s surprise, all the cultivators’ eyes were shining brightly.

Bowen Walter sighed, "Peter, do you really not know, or are you just pretending? Do you know how valuable elixirs that enhance spiritual power are? People with enhanced spiritual power can better withstand cultivation advancement, resulting in stronger willpower and less susceptibility to entering demonic paths. These are good items that are hard to come by, even with money. I didn’t expect you to have so many good things!"

Lawrence Baxter laughed, "Give us the elixir, and I’ll take care of it for you."

Hearing this, Peter took out four Clearing Mind Pills and handed two each to Adonis Harrison and Lawrence Baxter. Then, after some thought, he gave an extra one to everyone else, "Just consider it a bribe. Help me with the highway matter along with Mr. Martin’s problem."

"Damn!"

Bowen Walter’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Peter, "Are you not afraid that we’ll kill and rob you with all these good things that you have?"

Peter laughed, "Aren’t you afraid I have something that can kill you?"

Bowen Walter laughed, "Just kidding, just kidding. Don’t worry, they’re all people of importance. With their help, the Lin Family won’t dare to make a sound."

"You guys promised, right?"

Adonis Harrison nodded, "It’s just a small matter."

"Alright, I’ll just make a phone call to let them know so they won’t worry."

Lawrence Baxter said, "Don’t worry, it’s really just a small matter. We might not be able to handle it if it were a matter in the cultivation world, but it’s just a matter within the province. Plus, the Lin Family members involved in this matter were in the wrong in the first place, so we’re just righting the wrong."

Peter nodded, picked up his cell phone, and dialed Edward Martin’s number.

At this moment, the Thompson Family members were worried about Henry Martin. The couple was also somewhat sulking.

Edward Martin was sitting there, wanting to speak but unable to, and Edward’s older brother had never been so serious before.

Even the smallest matter concerning Henry Martin was considered a big deal for the Thompson Family members. If Henry Martin fell, it would be like the sky was falling.

Suddenly, Edward Martin’s phone rang.

Seeing it was Peter calling, Edward Martin announced excitedly, "It’s Peter’s call!"

Everyone in the Thompson Family turned their attention to Edward, and even Henry Martin looked at him intently. Although he didn’t say anything, he gestured for Edward to answer quickly.

Henry Martin had always suspected that little farmer Peter could be the one to help him, even though it seemed ridiculous.

Now, with the Thompson Family in a bind, everyone looked at Edward and eagerly awaited the news from his phone.

"Hello, Peter? This is Edward Martin."

Edward wasn’t sure why Peter called but felt the call was very important.

"Here’s the thing: tell your father that his problem was caused by Thomas Woods. It’s no big deal. It’s just a small matter that I’ve already asked someone to handle. That’s all."

After delivering his somewhat arrogant message, Peter hung up the phone.

While Peter had hung up, Edward Martin stood there in a daze.

As he stood there dumbfounded, the rest of the Thompson Family grew anxious, and even Henry Martin could no longer remain calm.

"What did he say?" Dora Wright asked.

Edward Martin snapped out of it and said, "It’s a bit strange what Peter said on the phone; he mentioned someone named Thomas Woods. Have you heard of him? Is he from the Lin Family as you mentioned earlier?"

The moment he mentioned this, not only Dora but also Henry’s eyes widened in shock. They knew the situation all too well, and when Peter mentioned Thomas Woods’ name, they knew it had to be true.

"What else did he say?" No longer able to maintain his composure, Henry Martin asked impatiently.

"He said it’s a small matter and that he has already asked someone to fix it. He also said for dad not to worry."

Ah!

All members of the Thompson Family were stunned.
