The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Employing a Minor Stratagem_1 Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Employing a Minor Stratagem_1 Greg Jensen reached out a hand to grab the ancient sword and, with a fierce effort, actually lifted it directly!

Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air at this sight, hardly daring to believe their eyes.

Since the sword had been placed here, not a single Dragon King from successive generations had been able to lift it.

Yet Greg Jensen was able to lift the sword with just one hand, how could the crowd not be shocked?

But what they didn’t know was that Greg Jensen lifting the sword was not as effortless as it appeared on the surface.

Holding the sword, Greg casually waved it a few times, faintly feeling a strange aura emanating from the ancient sword as if it was sealed by some mysterious force.

At first, Greg hadn’t taken the sword seriously, until the moment he lifted it, he realized that it did have some weight to it.

If it hadn’t been for his cultivation of the Divine Dragon Transformation, it might not have been so easy to lift this sword.

Even so, it was quite strenuous for him to wield it.

Therefore, he just waved it casually a few times before tossing it into his Storage Ring, thinking to study it slowly when he had free time.

“Majesty of the Dragon King!”

Deeply impressed by Greg’s strength, the fox knelt on one knee, flattering him.

Although Mo Tu and Elder Martis didn’t say anything, the look in their eyes towards Greg was filled with respect, and from that moment on, they were completely conquered.

Greg continued to search through the Dragon King’s treasure chamber, but unfortunately, the rest of the items there failed to capture his attention.

Next, he collected the two medicinal ingredients he needed into his Storage Ring and selected a few treasures to reward the fox and others.

He picked out a cultivation technique specifically for movement techniques for the fox, as well as a dagger, which perfectly matched the fox’s special ability.

In addition, he specifically chose some fruits that could enhance strength for the fox, to help him quickly improve his strength in the shortest time, so he could be more effective in serving Greg.

He also found some elixirs that could boost strength for Martis Burns and a cultivation technique for inner power.

Seeing Mo Tu’s eyes filled with anticipation, Greg also found him a defensive cultivation technique specifically for external body protection.

The three were overjoyed to receive their rewards from Greg.

“Thank you for the Dragon King’s reward!”

“Swear to be loyal to the Dragon King to the death!”

All three knelt down, overwhelmed with emotion.

Perhaps at the start, they merely yielded to Greg’s strength, but from this moment on, they were truly devoted to him.

After all, they had served the Dragon King’s Palace for so many years and no previous Dragon King had ever gifted them such treasures.

Of course, this was also one of Greg’s clever tactics.

While it was true that he now controlled the Dragon King’s Palace, he was still just one person and couldn’t grasp total control.

But if he could win over these high-ranking officials, things would be different.

Especially people like the fox, he needed to cultivate a few more of them.

“Alright, we’re all family here, no need for formalities.” Greg smiled and then led everyone out of the Dragon King’s treasure chamber.

As for the other areas of the treasure chamber, Greg had no intention of letting them go, but he couldn’t take everything in front of everyone, so he had to wait for another opportunity.

“By the way, you mentioned earlier that the ancient sword was obtained from a hidden cave abode, do you know where that cave is?” Greg asked.

From the moment he lifted the ancient sword, he had sensed the powerful aura contained within, even if it was sealed by an unknown force, it still shocked him.

He even suspected that the owner of the cave might have been a cultivator, with strength far surpassing his!

It was precisely because of this that he wanted to personally go and check out the cave, as there might be unexpected gains.

“It seems that the cave dwelling is in the depths of the Sahara Desert, but except for the Dragon King who brought back the Ancient Sword, no one knows the exact location,” said Mo enthusiastically in response.

“The Sahara Desert?”

Hearing this, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but frown.

Deserts like these were never good places to visit, and without a precise location, searching would be exceedingly difficult.

Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea, deciding to wait for a future opportunity.

“Dragon King, the banquet is ready, when do you see…”

At that moment, one of the leaders waiting outside the treasure vault hurried forward and inquired of Greg Jensen.

“Call the rest of the leaders and the heads of the guards over, and let the others handle the rest,” Greg Jensen ordered.

“Yes!” the leader acknowledged and went off to make preparations.

Half an hour later, the three great elders of the Dragon King’s Palace, the Eight Big Leaders, and the eight heads of guards had all gathered in the banquet hall.

Seated at the high table, Greg Jensen generously rewarded the remaining high-level officials.

No matter the era, no matter the place, the timeless truth was that one is beholden to those from whom they receive gifts.

It was also the quickest way to win hearts.

And those who benefitted swore to be loyal to Greg Jensen until death.

As for whether their loyalties were genuine, Greg Jensen didn’t care; after all, to him, these people were merely passersby.

In the following days, besides getting to know the situation at the headquarters of the Dragon King’s Palace and building good relationships with the higher-ups, Greg Jensen plundered the treasury for treasures.

Three days later, he had almost completely emptied the treasury of valuable items, and only then was he satisfied.

One day, while Greg Jensen was cultivating, his Divine Sense detected the presence of the fox.

Indeed, the fox appeared before him shortly afterward.

But upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that the fox’s strength seemed to have improved greatly.

“Fox, you’ve progressed quickly,” Greg Jensen praised.

“Thanks to the fruits the Dragon King rewarded me with, otherwise, to reach this level would have required several more years,” the fox said respectfully. “By the way, Dragon King, the assembly from the Eight countries in Southeast is complete. When do you think we can take action?”

“Oh? Everything’s ready?” Greg Jensen thought for a moment and then spoke in a deep voice, “Well, then we shouldn’t delay. Let’s head back to the Southeast immediately.”

“Yes!”

The fox acknowledged the command and left.

In the time that followed, Greg Jensen made further arrangements.

He left Martis Burns, the elder, and three leaders behind to guard the base while the rest of the leaders and heads of guards accompanied him to the Eight countries in Southeast.

This time, he was determined to completely reshuffle the power structure of the Eight countries in Southeast!

The next day, when Greg Jensen lead the high-level officials of the Dragon King’s Palace back to the Southeastern branch, everyone was already gathered.

Looking at the over a thousand elites of the Dragon King’s Palace, Greg Jensen nodded in satisfaction.

And for these people, Greg Jensen was just as generous with rewards.

The so-called taking from the people to use for the people; after all, it was all from the Dragon King’s treasure vault and was rightfully spent on them.

The rewarded crowd was incredibly grateful to Greg Jensen, erupting into cheers, and even those who had previously harbored doubts about him were completely won over at this moment.

It was from this moment that Greg Jensen truly became the Lord of the Dragon King’s Palace!
