Chapter 205: Chapter 205: A New Strategy

Just as Phoenix Taylor collapsed, Peter Brown, who had walked out the door, poked his head back in and said, "Pretend to be still affected by the poison for the next day or two. I want to see how everyone reacts."

Peter’s sudden words startled Phoenix, and she quickly got up, saying, "Alright! Alright!"

Not knowing where she got the energy from, Phoenix stood up again, showing a respectful attitude.

Peter knew that this woman was only acting this way out of fear of death, and she must still be resentful towards him. She might even try to cure the poison secretly. However, Peter was calm about it, knowing that his elixirs were not something ordinary and could not be easily broken by others.

Peter didn’t care about this woman’s thoughts and went outside to collect the two defeated South Seas Ghost Masters into his ring before heading towards the car parked away from the village.

He found a place, collected the items from the two South Seas Ghost Masters, then found another spot to bury them before finally returning to the car.

In Peter’s opinion, the two South Seas Ghost Masters were very weak and not worth considering. Killing them had been too easy, and he didn’t know what kind of abilities they possessed.

When checking their items, Peter couldn’t help but complain that the two Ghost Masters didn’t have anything valuable on them.

However, Peter managed to find a book that contained a number of techniques used by the Ghost Masters. After looking through it for a while, Peter shook his head, thinking that these were all low-level techniques compared to his own inheritance. They were nowhere near good enough to catch his eye.

At this point, Peter also understood that Earth’s resources truly weren’t very abundant.

When he returned home in the car, Peter didn’t disturb his parents and went straight to his room after parking the vehicle.

It was already late, and most people didn’t know that a major incident had taken place in the village.

After taking a hot shower, Peter sat down and pondered what direction things might take.

Of course, Peter was most concerned about the safety of his parents.

This situation seemed simple, but Peter was given a wake-up call. The enemy’s experts had started to arrive, and next, Peter would face the stronger members of the Thompson Family.

Unsure of what to do, Peter picked up his cell phone and called Adonis Harrison, feeling that Adonis might know more about the situation.

Once the call was connected, Adonis asked, "Peter, have you arrived?"

"Yeah, I’ve arrived, Adonis. I wanted to ask, would disputes between cultivators involve their families?"

Upon hearing this, Adonis understood that Peter was referring to the Thompson Family matter and laughed, "Don’t worry, there are rules in place. Anyone who involves innocent family members will face consequences from everyone. After all, everyone has family. It’s an iron rule that no one would dare to break easily. The Thompsons are a large family with a long heritage. They enforce these rules and absolutely won’t allow such things to happen."

He then asked, puzzled, "Did you clash with the Thompson Family?"

Peter couldn’t help but admire Adonis’s sensitivity and replied without hiding anything, "I killed four of them: one Qi Refining Fourth Level, two Qi Refining third level, and one Qi Refining Second Layer."

Hearing this, Adonis was shocked and speechless for a long time before finally sighing, "You’re amazing!"

He really didn’t know what else to say.

Adonis was now even more astounded by the Thompson Family’s actions, as they had sent out four experts at once. This was a big deal for them. He was also baffled by Peter’s capabilities. After recently arriving, he had already killed four of their experts. Peter was truly fierce.

Adonis realized through this incident that he needed to establish a good relationship with Peter. Peter’s potential was enormous, and in the fight between Peter and Thompson Family, he even favored Peter.

"Peter, the death of four Thompson Family members is a big deal. Although it’s not a crippling blow, it’s still significant. So, you need to be careful. They might not necessarily target your family, but you still need to be cautious. I’ll talk to our family head about this. They can fight with you, but they mustn’t involve family members."

Peter gratefully said, "Thank you, Adonis."

"Just be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Peter felt much more at ease.

Now that his family had some protection, not that it was perfect, he could focus on other matters.

Peter knew that the Thompson Family valued this matter highly. Sending four people to complete two tasks – bringing Henry Martin’s family into their own family and taking control of the wine factory – had angered them. Surely, they wouldn’t be happy about it.

So, what would be the next step?

Peter thought of Phoenix Taylor. Now that he was up against the Thompson Family, if she could enter their family, with her skills, she might be able to cause some chaos within their ranks.

As Peter considered this possibility, his original plan changed slightly. Maybe he could use Phoenix to weaken the Thompson Family.

If that were the case, would his own wine factory suffer significant losses?

Honestly, Peter didn’t care much about the wine formula. It was just a recipe, after all. Compared to his many elixir formulas, the importance of the wine formula was minimal. Money wasn’t what Peter needed; if he managed to get Phoenix into the Thompson Family, he might be able to get his hands on their resources accumulated over the years.

The more Peter thought about it, the more feasible this idea seemed.

Yes, it could also be an opportunity to clean up some people from the Flower Creek Group in the process!

From various sources, Peter had learned that the villagers had become wealthy, and many had new ideas. If that was the case, let them all stir up trouble, and he could take the chance to withdraw from the situation.

After considering various plans, Peter had made up his mind. This time, he would make a big move and ruin the Thompson Family in the west, turning them into his source of resources.

He also remembered that he needed to find out more about the South Seas Ghost Masters. Peter wasn’t entirely familiar with people like them from the South Sea Region. Since he had killed two of them, he didn’t know how many others might come for revenge.

It was time to first focus on raising his cultivation level.
