Chapter 212: Chapter 212: What’s Going On

An SUV pulled into the parking lot of the most luxurious hotel in the city. Edward Martin got off first, followed by two young men. When the three walked together, it was evident that the two young men had an air of arrogance about them.

Phoenix Taylor, who had been waiting there, greeted them charmingly.

"Clarence, Ryan, hello." Phoenix’s face was full of smiles.

The two young men looked at Phoenix with a strange glint in their eyes.

Rhett Martin, who was leading the group, held Phoenix’s hand for a long time and said, "Phoenix, you’re looking more beautiful than ever!"

"Oh, stop it, Clarence. I’m not that pretty!"

Edward Martin laughed and said, "Clarence, let’s sit down."

Oren Martin also held Phoenix’s hand and said, "Your entry into our Thompson Family has been approved. Now you are one of us. When we’re at the Thompson Family, I’ll show you around."

"Please take care of me then."

Phoenix Taylor, a person who knows how to get ahead, won over the two young masters with just a few words.

"Edward, check where that kid is and how things are going," Oren Martin said, obviously not too satisfied with Edward’s handling of the situation.

"Don’t worry, Ryan. I’ve made a call, and we’ll have news soon."

As Phoenix looked at the two young masters, she sighed secretly in her heart. She knew Peter Brown too well. Those two who wanted to kill him were probably already on Peter’s hit list.

Rhett Martin was considered a genius in the Thompson Family. Although he looked young, he was actually over forty years old. Due to a youth-preserving technique of the Thompson Family, their members appeared youthful.

"Has Peter’s family left?" asked Rhett Martin, who had a cultivation at the third Qi Refining level and naturally didn’t take Peter seriously.

"Yes, I’ve received the news. They went to the Southland."

"Though the Cultivation World has rules against harming mortals, you’re not a cultivator. You should still handle them properly and give them a warning. Daring to compete with our Thompson Family for benefits, such a bold move!"

"Don’t worry, Clarence. I’ll handle it."

"Good. Next month, our Family Meeting will hold an Initiation Ceremony. After that, you’ll officially be part of our family. Once you’re in the family, you’ll all have Cultivation Techniques to study."

Edward’s eyes lit up with excitement, "That’s great! We’ll rely on your guidance, brothers!"

As they spoke, Edward’s cell phone rang.

After answering, Edward looked at the two and said, "The surveillance shows that Peter is driving towards the provincial city. His car has passed the toll station."

"He escaped again!"

Oren Martin snorted in annoyance.

"Never mind, we’re not in a hurry in these one or two days. He’s going to the provincial city for school anyway. We’ll go tomorrow." Oren Martin’s gaze at Phoenix was full of strange intentions. He had a strong desire to possess a woman like Phoenix.

Seeing the way Oren Martin looked at her, the very sensitive Phoenix immediately sensed something and cursed silently. Now she wished Peter would get rid of these two men as soon as possible.

At the dining table, Rhett Martin was in high spirits, sharing many stories and knowledge about the Cultivation World with the others. Edward listened with shining eyes. He felt that his decision was right this time; Peter Brown was just a mere farmer and not worth paying any attention to. As long as the relationship with the Western Thompson Family was maintained well, the benefits from the Family would be numerous.

"Phoenix, it’s clear what the family wants. Your Wine Formula still has its unique features. There’s no such formula in our family. It’s certain that this formula must be contributed to our family. There’s no problem with that, right?"

After talking for a while, Rhett Martin looked at Phoenix.

In their eyes, if Phoenix wasn’t so beautiful, they wouldn’t have asked for her opinion and simply forcibly taken what they wanted.

Phoenix still had a smile on her face and said, "Don’t worry, everything is ready."

"Good, then at the Initiation Ceremony, a specialized person will take over. You just need to prepare everything and transfer it afterward. Of course, our family thinks you’re also a great businesswoman, so they will entrust the company to your management, and you’ll get some benefits."

Feigning humility, Phoenix said, "It’s already an immense favor for me to be able to join the Thompson Family."

Rhett Martin was very satisfied and said, "You’ve done a great job. With your abilities, you’ll surely be highly valued once you join our Thompson Family. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you."

While they were eating, Peter was in his room refining a certain elixir.

This was called Chaotic Spirit Powder. After taking it, hallucinations would occur. This was his plan to deal with the Thompson Family members.

Fortunately, the ingredients for the Chaotic Spirit Powder could be found in the medicine garden on that mountain. Peter had prepared a stalk for each of them in his Ring. Now he took them out and began refining them.

An hour later, Peter had successfully refined the Chaotic Spirit Powder.

Looking at the powder, Peter showed a wry smile. With this, it would be much easier to deal with the people from the Thompson Family. Even if there were any issues, no one would be able to guess it had been him.

Peter intended to stage an internal struggle within the Thompson Family.

After refining the powder, Peter arrived at the place where Rhett Martin and his brother were staying.

Although these two brothers were lustful, they did not force themselves on Phoenix. In their minds, once they entered the Thompson Family, there would be plenty of opportunities for them to take her down.

After leaving their room, Phoenix asked Edward, "Shall I come again tomorrow?"

Edward felt somewhat aggrieved to be reduced to acting like someone else’s lackey, so he reluctantly replied, "Fine, don’t worry about them anymore. Come by early tomorrow."

As the two separated, Phoenix saw Peter coming towards her.

"You!"

Upon seeing Peter, Phoenix became instantly tense. She was genuinely afraid of him.

Peter smiled and said, "What’s wrong, don’t you want to see me?"

"No, no, how could that be?" Phoenix immediately put on a smile as she spoke.

"Well, help me with something."

"Just say it, I’ll definitely do it."

"They should be coming after me tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, they know you passed the toll station, and they wanted to chase after you today. It was Rhett who said they’re not in a hurry and decided to wait until tomorrow. And, they also asked Edward to deal with your family members."

Hearing that they might harm his family, a murderous intent flashed in Peter’s eyes.

"This is a colorless and tasteless medicine. Rub it on your hands, and when you shake hands with them tomorrow, just touch their skin."

This is an antidote; you should take it before applying it to your hands, otherwise, the consequences will be severe.

As he said this, seeing Phoenix’s expression change when she took the medicine, Peter laughed and said, "Oh, by the way, this medicine doesn’t affect me, so don’t get any ideas about using it against me."

Having said that, Peter turned around and left, as if the two of them were merely acquaintances who greeted each other in passing.

Watching Peter leave, Phoenix felt bitter in her heart, knowing that Peter was too smart. He could guess her thoughts with ease.

But she had no choice. She had to get this task done.

Phoenix Taylor felt utterly helpless.
