Chapter 241: Chapter 241: What a Coincidence

After the meal, neither of the woman bothered Peter Brown for company. He made an excuse about having something to attend to and left the hotel.

He pulled an SUV from his ring and drove to a secluded part of the city. Removing the rear seats of the vehicle, he brought out a jade cutting equipment from his ring and began to cut after connecting it to a generator.

Although he spent more than 200,000, Peter felt it was worth it. The jade carving wasn’t particularly good, having been carved only on the surface, but a large portion of the heart of it remained intact.

While it was large, the jade was average at best which explained the low price. However, it was enough for making jade talismans.

Peter was adept at cutting jade, and he quickly sliced the jade carving into hundreds of Jade Tablets.

When he returned to the hotel, the two women hadn’t appeared, and Peter didn’t bother to look for them, guessing they were probably tired.

After taking a shower, Peter started making talismans in his room.

Successfully making the talismans he needed, Peter thought that cultivators might clash this time around. So, he made some talisman swords, talisman daggers and other items, only stopping when all the Jade Tablets were used up.

After some consideration, Peter made some talisman bullets, just in case.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Peter reviewed everything in his mind once more.

Suddenly, he realized a problem he had been neglecting all along.

Stephen Taylor, the old man, was clearly harboring some secrets. But apart from him, did Emery Robertson not raise any flags either?

When he thought of Emery, Peter felt there were issues she was hiding. She had her own bodyguards, so why was she traveling without any and coincidentally seated next to him on the plane? The situation was puzzling no matter how he looked at it.

No person should be without bodyguards on a plane. It was preposterous to even think that the bodyguard would wait far away.

It must be said that Peter had seen all kinds of people in prison and had learned a lot from their interactions.

Usually, Peter didn’t ponder over conspiracies but when he did, he wasn’t worse than anyone else.

It was clear that Emery wanted to get close to him!

Though it seemed a conceited thought, Peter couldn’t help but think that way. After all, he had duped many cultivators from various countries at the South Sea. It was impossible that they didn’t bear grudges against him.

Choosing a visibly flawed person to be with him, they knew he was skilled in medicine. They believed that he wouldn’t resist aiding a beauty in distress.

From this, Peter couldn’t help but admire his enemies. They had thoroughly studied him and planned this seemingly casual encounter.

Thinking about it, Peter suddenly froze. Stephen Taylor was also flawed in some way.

Both of their encounters seemed so accidental. To him, someone proficient in medicine, it was possible for him to treat them.

So this was their plan. By taking advantage of the fact that he could treat their illnesses, they aimed to join his team and kill him at a critical moment.

They probably also knew that he was a skilled cultivator. Killing him with another cultivator wasn’t feasible, so they opted to send mortals to approach him. Even if ordinary people got close to him, they could kill him with a surprise attack.

Now, he had no clue how they intended to deal with him.

Having guessed so much, Peter decided to see if both parties would coincidentally travel to Rui City together. If they did, his predictions would be even more accurate.

There was silence throughout the night, and everyone was up and about the next morning.

"Peter, where did you go last night?" Ella Johnson asked as soon as she saw him.

"Nowhere. I went to bed as soon as I got back."

Ella Johnson glanced at Peter and said, "That’s good, you look well-rested."

Maisy Spencer said, "Enough. The other two arrived last night. Today, we’re driving towards our destination."

Peter Brown had no objections. He nodded and replied, "I’ll just follow you."

At this moment, Ella Johnson looked at Peter and asked, "Where’s the jade carving you bought?"

"I shipped it back. It was inconvenient to carry."

"You shipped something so valuable?"

"It’s fine." Peter said nonchalantly.

Just then, Maisy Spencer’s phone rang. After a brief exchange, she turned to Peter with a smile, "Emery just called. They’re driving to Rui City and asked if we’re taking a plane to Mang City and then changing cars. I told them we’re driving as well, and they seemed delighted, saying they would like to join us on our journey."

Hearing this, a spark flashed in Peter’s eyes, and his heart stirred.

Ella Johnson glanced at Peter, "A foreign beauty is traveling with you, excited, aren’t you?"

Peter simply smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, the two bosses also emerged and seeing Peter and the others, Boss Zou joked, "Where did you guys go to have fun yesterday while Boss He and I were out meeting friends?"

Maisy Spencer said, "We’re unfamiliar with the place and stayed in our rooms."

Callum Thompson grinned, "The business car we rented should have arrived. Let’s go check."

As everyone stepped outside, they saw a seven-seater business car from a travel agency parked in the parking area.

At this point, Peter heard someone call his name. He looked over and laughed. Stephen Taylor was indeed in a business car, waving at him.

"Boss Stephen, where are you headed?"

"I’m going to Rui City for gemstone gambling. And you?"

As Stephen spoke, he stepped out of the car.

Looking at his car, Peter could see that it was an eleven-seater business car with several subordinates inside.

"Am I late?" Another SUV drove up, and Emery Robertson alighted from it.

Seeing this, a smirk appeared on Peter’s face. It seemed like his guess was correct. These two must be working together.

Now, he just didn’t know what they were planning.

Watching Maisy engage in cheerful conversation with Emery, Peter frowned slightly, starting to worry for both Maisy and Ella. He didn’t know how many people were setting traps and they were going to fall into one because of him.
