Chapter 504 Let Go of Me.
James said helplessly, "Walter, how many times do I have to tell you, I'm not your teacher, stop calling me that."
"I'm sorry, I forgot again. Mr. Smith, what's up?" Walter said excitedly.
Since that day, James had ignored Walter. Walter had called several times, but James had refused to answer. Normally, someone as proud as Walter would be very angry at being treated this way.
But not only did he not hold a grudge against James, James's status in his mind had actually risen, becoming even more unfathomable.
Especially during this period, after breaking through as a martial artist, his status in the family had risen, and he had come into contact with more people in the industry, meeting more martial artists. He increasingly understood how rare martial artists were and how formidable James was.
Such a person, Walter definitely needed to curry favor with. Furthermore, James was already a benefactor of the Jenkins family.
James got straight to the point, "Do you know Brent?"
Walter was also from Starlight State, and he knew Brent.
"Brent, you mean Brent, the son of Yosef Lewis from the Lewis family in Starlight State?" Walter said in a deep voice, with a hint of hostility in his tone.
James asked, "Do you know where he lives?"
Hearing James's calm question, Walter's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his voice and said, "I do know, Mr. Smith, has Brent offended you?"
James nodded, "Yeah, tell me his address."
Walter thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Smith, if I may be so bold, Brent is not an ordinary person, and the Lewis family is not an ordinary family; they have immense power."
Walter paused, revealing that his meaning was clear.
James naturally understood Walter's meaning. Even if Brent was Yosef's son, or even if Neil had ill intentions towards Jennifer, they had to die.
"I understand. I won't involve you. Just tell me his address," James said.
Walter panicked and quickly explained, "Mr. Smith, don't misunderstand! That's not what I meant. It's just that Brent has experts protecting him, and he's Yosef's only son. If the Lewis family finds out, the consequences could be severe."
After a pause, Walter said softly, "At that point, even our Jenkins family might not be able to protect you."
Walter's words were already quite tactful. James was a bit surprised. He knew the Lewis family was a strong family, but he didn't expect them to overshadow the Jenkins family.
But it was not a big deal for James
No matter how strong the Lewis family was, they were at most aristocrats in Starlight State. Compared to the Smith family in the City of Mysteries, they were not on the same level at all.
Moreover, with James's abilities, the Lewis family was nothing. Brent was already dead the moment he dared to have designs on Jennifer.
He said directly, "You just need to tell me Brent's location."
Walter smiled bitterly, "Mr. Smith, to be honest, Brent is like a rabbit; he has properties in many places. And our Jenkins family has some grudges with the Lewis family. I've never had contact with Brent, so I can't find his whereabouts immediately."
James furrowed his brows; he was hesitant to utilize the resources of the Smith family for the investigation.
To be honest, now that he had left the Smith family, he didn't want to use even a bit of their resources.
At this moment, Walter suddenly said, "Mr. Smith, although I don't know Brent's whereabouts, I do know that three days from now, he will attend an auction."
As the words left his mouth, he suddenly slapped himself, regretting what he had just said.
The auction was very grand, and not only Brent would attend, but many big figures would also be there. If James really went after Brent there, it would be disastrous.
He knew James's martial arts were very high, but he was still just one person, while Brent had the entire Lewis family behind him. Moreover, at such a grand auction, if James messed up, he would offend not just the Lewis family.
James understood the importance of the auction from Walter's slap and smiled, "What auction is it? Tell me the exact time and place."
Walter regretted it deeply. He didn't think James could contend with the entire Lewis family. "What auction? I didn't say anything just now, Mr. Smith, you must have misheard."
James said bluntly, "I don't have much patience. Speak quickly."
Walter shivered and said, "Alright, it's an underground auction in Mistwind, not open to the media. Several major families from Starlight State and various big figures will attend. Mr. Smith, I know you're very terrific, but I don't recommend you go after Brent at the auction. Think about your family, if not yourself."
It was clear that Walter genuinely considered James one of his own and was sincerely advising him.
James said, "I know what I'm doing."
Walter wanted to persude, but James had already hung up.
Now he was a bit anxious. It seemed like James had an irreconcilable grudge with Brent.
After hanging up, James looked into the auction happening in three days and got a general understanding.
At this moment, Jennifer came out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe, drying her hair. She asked James, "Who were you on the phone with just now?"
"A friend," James said with a smile. "Honey, you smell so good."
Jennifer blushed slightly and shyly gave James a look, "When did you become so smooth-talking?"
"I'm not, I'm just telling the truth." James walked over, gently hugged her, and took a deep breath of her hair, "Not only do you smell good, but you're also very charming."
Jennifer felt something unusual against her hip, the hot sensation instantly igniting the feeling of her whole body!
They had been married for so long, but it was the first time she felt that thing's presence. The strong masculine pheromones emanating from James made her heart race wildly.
"What are you doing? My hair isn't dry yet, let go of me." Jennifer's voice trembled slightly.
Naturally, Jennifer was a bit nervous.
