Chapter 787: Chapter 787: It's All the Same in the Dark_1 Chapter 787: Chapter 787: It's All the Same in the Dark_1 Greg Jensen said indifferently, “In addition, this incident could be considered fatal for the cultivation world in China.
Therefore, starting today, I propose a gentleman's agreement: Cultivators shall not interfere with the secular world, and cultivators shall not leave the mountain without good reason.
Finally, we will establish a Hidden Gate Management Council, which will be presided over by the four major Sects in rotation, serving a term of ten years each. The first term chairman will be assumed by Danxia Sect.”
After finishing his address, he looked at the crowd again and said indifferently, “If anyone has any objections, now is the time to speak up!”
The scene fell silent!
The wind started to blow.
The light breeze rustled the fallen leaves, creating a scene of desolation.
A dozen or so Cultivators, god-like beings in the mortal world, were now so tense that they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
They looked at each other, although he was just a junior, in their eyes, he was as imposing as a mountain, leaving them breathless.
After a long time, Greg Jensen raised his eyes to scan the crowd and said, “Since everyone has no objections, then that's settled.
In the future, if I ever hear of anyone daring to coerce mortals by flaunting their status as Cultivators, don't blame me for being impolite!”
Luis Cotes was moved and reverently said, “Your decrees will be diligently followed, True Monarch!”
With her leading, Nelson Rice and the others also stated somberly, “Your decrees will be diligently followed, True Monarch.”
Greg Jensen turned to Trey Holmes and said, “Starting today, the Hidden Gate Management Council will be located in Taixu Sect.”
“Ah, this…”
“What, do you have an objection?”
Trey Holmes hurriedly shook her head, “No, I have no objections.”
She was initially worried when she heard that Taixu Sect was not included in the council, fearing that the other Sects would oppress it.
She didn't expect Bowen Griffin to grant Taixu Sect an “Amulet” in a sudden turn.
Although Taixu Sect was still not involved in the council's decision-making, having the headquarters of the Hidden Gate Management Council gave them a name that other Sects wouldn't dare to touch.
“Thank you for your consideration, True Monarch!”
Trey Holmes respectfully bowed her thanks.
Greg Jensen glanced at everyone and sighed, “Alright, disperse now and take care of the affairs of the deceased Disciples.”
“Yes, True Monarch!”
The crowd nodded in agreement and then led their remaining Disciples back to their respective Sects.
Luis Cotes also departed with Teresa Cotes, but Greg Jensen stayed behind of his own accord.
Taixu Sect's gate.
The new Sect Master Trey Holmes watched everyone leave, then turned to look at Greg Jensen beside her, her heart filled with uneasy speculation about why he hadn't left.
Feeling her gaze, Greg Jensen turned back to look at the other Disciples and said, “Let them disperse first, you stay.”
“Ah?”
Trey Holmes felt even more uneasy, wondering to herself if the man had taken a liking to her.
Why else would he send the other Disciples away?
What if he attempted something improper towards her?
Trey Holmes felt a hint of revulsion, but considering the current situation of Taixu Sect, she dared not refuse.
“What's wrong? Is there a problem?” Greg Jensen asked, puzzled.
“No… nothing,” she replied.
Biting her lip, Trey Holmes ultimately decided to comply and turned to her Disciples, “You all go ahead, I have something to discuss with the True Monarch.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
The Disciples dispersed, and Trey Holmes, with trepidation, looked at Greg Jensen and forced a smile, “True Monarch, may I ask what instructions you have for me?”
After a glance at her, Greg Jensen said, “First, accompany me to a place.”
“Very well.”
Trey Holmes did not dare to oppose him and quickly followed behind.
After walking for a while, she suddenly felt something was off because they were headed towards the private residence of Louisa Burley.
Could it be that the True Monarch has taken a fancy to Louisa Burley?
Trey Holmes's face sank slightly. If he wanted her for himself, that would be one thing, but he would never agree to Louisa Burley being involved.
After all, she was the Sect Master of the Tai Xu Sect, and Louisa Burley had no connection with the Tai Xu Sect; she was, in fact, a victim.
Now that Aaron Gill, her junior brother, had died, the marriage arrangement was naturally void, and Louisa Burley should return home.
Her boss must still be waiting for her!
Seeing the True Monarch actually bring her to the gate of the other courtyard, Trey Holmes's heart chilled by half.
During the walk here, she had thought of many things, but no matter what, she couldn't let Louisa Burley get hurt.
“True Monarch, this place… houses a distinguished guest of our sect. Unless necessary, let's not go inside, shall we?”
“Hmm?”
Greg Jensen was surprised and, seeing Trey Holmes's tense expression, suddenly understood something.
He couldn't help laughing to himself, and pretending to be serious, said, “What's wrong with taking a look inside?”
“It's just…”
Trey Holmes, looking troubled, said, “The person inside is a woman, and it could be quite inappropriate.”
“A woman?”
Greg Jensen's lips curled into a mischievous smile, saying, “I like women the most!”
“True Monarch, that woman… she's very ugly, her face is covered with pockmarks.”
“It doesn't matter, it's all the same with the lights off.”
Trey Holmes was stunned; she did not expect that he would be so indiscriminate. Despite her saying such things, he did not seem to care at all.
Her heart sank bit by bit, and she said gravely, “True Monarch, the person inside is my friend, and I do not wish for her to be harmed.
Please give me some face and let her be.”
Greg Jensen teased her, saying, “What if I don't?”
Trey Holmes gritted her teeth and replied, “Then I will have no choice but to offend you!”
Greg Jensen laughed, saying, “What? You want to fight me? Are you not afraid of dying?”
“I know I am no match for a True Monarch, but for the sake of a friend, I am willing to risk my life!”
Trey Holmes's slender eyes gleamed with determination, fearlessly meeting Greg Jensen's gaze.
Greg Jensen did not speak, quietly observing her.
After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, saying, “How come I didn't realize before that you are so loyal?”
“Uh…”
Trey Holmes said hesitantly, “What do you mean? Have we met before?”
Greg Jensen felt a bit annoyed inside and gave her a knock on the head in annoyance, saying angrily, “Trey Holmes, I can't believe I considered you one of us. My girlfriend got kidnapped, and you didn't even warn me!”
“You…”
“Take a look at who I am.”
Greg Jensen snorted coldly and wiped his hand over his face, immediately restoring his original appearance.
Trey Holmes was stunned, staring at him in disbelief, exclaiming, “Boss… Boss? How could it be you?”
“Why couldn't it be me?”
“No, I mean… I…”
Trey Holmes was completely baffled, her mind going blank.
She could have never imagined that the Golden Core True Monarch, who had killed her master and junior brother and made all the cultivators in the world submit, was actually Greg Jensen.
In her memory, Greg Jensen was strong, but he was just a martial artist.
It hadn't been long since she saw him, and now he had become a revered Golden Core True Monarch!
The huge disparity between then and now left Trey Holmes at a loss.
Only at this moment did she finally understand why he had spared the Tai Xu Sect and designated her as the Sect Master, as well as leaving some degree of influence for the Tai Xu Sect.
Because he was her boss!
Thinking back to how good Greg Jensen had been to her, and recalling how she had conspired with her junior brother to take away his girlfriend, guilt filled Trey Holmes's heart.
