No. 1 Supreme Warrior

Chapter 251 – 300

Chapter 251 Ken was speechless. If that was the case, would that mean that jackie would not die?

“Such a good chance, how can I…” Neil was also troubled.

However, his eyes quickly lit up and looked at Ken as he suggested, “Why don’t we each come up with six million dollars? If he dies, we’ll foot the bill for him. That way, the general manager will surely let the match go on!”

Ken was surprised and cheered up instantly. “Of course! Six million dollars each is not too much. If we can have jackie killed, then we’ll profit greatly from this. Bloody h*ll, it turns out that this kid’s life is worth quite a lot of money after all!”

Having said that, Ken quickly raised his hand and announced loudly to the general manager, “General manager, I’ve thought about it. I know both jackie and his wife. We’re considered acquaintances. If they win the challenge, you should waive his bill!”

jackie was caught off-guard. He did not expect Ken to speak on his behalf.

The next second, Ken voiced out again. “If he dies, I’ll foot the bill for him. He’s already signed the consent form so you should let him try!”

jackie was speechless. So Ken was just afraid of him not being able to take part in the arena match.

“Are you serious?” Hearing that, the general manager was delighted as jackie would be dead for sure and only needed someone to foot the bill for him. He did not want jackie taking part in the match because he was afraid that nobody would foot the bill after he died. Even if this guy could not pay up, he could at least capture him and present him to his boss. That would still be better than a dead guy.

He had not expected Young Master Clark from a second-class aristocratic family to make such a request. It provided him with a way out.

“Could it be that Young Master Clark is willing to foot the bill after he dies? What a nice guy! Meanwhile, Britney and Matt’s expression turned ugly. They were wishing for jackie to be killed and leaving Selena unable to pay the bill, having her stay back.

Now their plans were foiled. If jackie died, someone was going to help Selena get out of this.

Very soon, Matt seemed to come to a realization and smiled. “Hey, Selena looks quite good. These young masters are probably trying to win her over.”

“It’s fine. With her man dead, that should be sufficient to teach her a lesson!” Britney sneered.

“Relax, I will definitely honor my promise. Moreover, there are so many people here to bear witness!” Ken gave the general manager a smile then quietly muttered to Neil next to him,

“Young Master Hugo, I’ll pay the money first. Later, you’ll have to settle the other half with me.”

“Worry not. If jackie’s dead, we’ll both gain the opportunity. It’s just 6 million dollars, I won’t cheat your money!” Neil answered happily.

“Alright then. Emcee, continue the match! The general manager waved at the emcee and stated, “Since he’s willing to risk his life just to get a free meal, we’ll not get in his way!”

“Alright, continue the match. The arena champion is still O’Neal with 11 consecutive wins!”

“Meanwhile, our challenger is jackie, a nameless soldier!”

“Everyone please take a bet and see if our jackie can last a full 10 seconds or just three?” the emcee announced cheerfully, confident that jackie would surely die. After that, he moved to the side.

“kid. I’m coming!” O’Neal burst out in laughter as he strode toward jackie. “Let me blow you away with one punch!”

Chapter 252 O’Neal had a playful look on his face. Looking at jackie’s physique, he seemed even smaller than Dennis. With that, he could not even take jackie seriously.

However, while O’Neal was around one meter away from jackie, he suddenly burst into action.

He jumped up in a flash and raised his right leg, sending a forceful kick at O’Neal’s neck. What went unseen was the short flash of light that came and went in an instant.

It seemed that jackie’s attack caught him completely off guard. O’Neal was not quick enough to respond. He was already hit by the kick just as his hands stretched forward.

At the same time, jackie gently landed back where he stood, hands behind his back. He seemed so carefree and relaxed.

“You…” O’Neal felt it. His cervical vertebrae were broken in an instant by the kick.

However, that was not the scariest thing. It was that unseen current that bore deep into his body from his neck. That flow of energy was extremely volatile. By all logic, it should have exploded long ago. However, it was seemingly restricted by something, only exploding when it reached specific locations.

O’Neal’s abdomen, chest, and a dozen other areas burst open, splattering blood everywhere. He spat out a mouthful of blood before falling straight onto the arena’s floor.

“What!? Those that were waiting to see jackie get slaughtered were all stunned. In less than a second after jackie’s attack, O’Neal was killed?

“Oh my god!” At first, Selena was worried about jackie but seeing the scene before her, she was shocked, her mouth opened slightly. She placed a hand over her mouth as she looked at him in disbelief.

The area turned silent in an instant before quickly going into an uproar again!

“Oh my god. Did my eyes play tricks on me? O’Neal was killed in an instant?”

“That’s right. How did O’Neal die before he could even make a move?”

“Impossible. Even Marshal Dennis was no match for O’Neal, yet this kid killed him with a single kick?” A number of people started exclaiming loudly.

“Wonderful! O’Neal’s a son of a b*tch that’s killed so many of our people. He deserves to die. This jackie guy is quite amazing!”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect him to have such terrifying strength. He actually managed to kill O’Neal in such a short time!”

Some of the audience cheered passionately instead.

“Yay, he won!”

Hugh and Rosa felt relieved. They did not wish for Selena to be widowed once more after her husband had finally returned from the battlefield.

“Selena’s husband is so amazing! My god, his strength is even greater than a marshal?” Dylan was just as excited. “Motherf*cker, that god damned American is finally dead.”

“I-I-Impossible!” Neil and Ken were dumbfounded. They were looking forward to seeing jackie’s death and Selena crying in tears. That would then allow them to take the chance to console her.

Selena might have even been touched by their actions, giving them hope. They did not expect this turn of events!

“H-h-he won?”

The general manager took a few steps back, unable to accept the outcome. Young Master Clark promised to foot the bill if jackie lost…

Chapter 253 Nevertheless, now that jackie won the match, Young Master Clark did not need to help settle the bill anymore. In fact, according to the rules set before, they needed to waive jackie’s bill and even pay him a three million dollars reward.

“General manager, for this matter… We didn’t expect him to win. It seems we’ve just saved some money!” Ken said with a smile despite feeling frustrated deep down.

jackie smiled nonchalantly and waved at Ken. “Thank you Young Master Clark for watching my back so I could fight without worry!”

“You’re welcome! We’re all acquainted and I’m even friends with Selena!” Ken laughed along, appearing as though he was on good terms with jackie.

Selena had a cold expression on her face as she remained silent. In the past, Ken carried himself like a gentleman. She had even treated him as a real friend. However, ever since this person came to her house and tried to forcefully have it demolished, she had finally seen through this two-faced persona.

Moreover, his willingness to foot the bill for jackie was with ulterior motives. Firstly, it was to have the general manager continue the match so that jackie would die. Secondly, it was to score brownie points with her. The bill totaled over 10 million dollars after all. If he paid the bill, other women might have really been touched and thrown themselves at him.

Unfortunately, Selena was not only beautiful, but she was also blessed with intelligence as well. She had long seen through the other party’s deceit.

“So strong! You’re so strong! jackie, you’re my hero!” The chubby Manager Wayne was teary-eyed. “You’re so awesome for saving my idol Dennis. Now you’re one of my idols too!”

Hearing that, jackie was at a loss on how to respond. Just how did he become her idol again?

“Brother Dennis!” A few men that looked like Dennis’ friends came looking for him and quickly ran up the arena’s stage. “Brother Dennis, are you okay? Your injuries are too severe. What should we do?”

“Call the ambulance! He should be able to survive this!” A woman interjected.

“No need for that. I have some medicine here. Just let him take that and bring him home to recuperate!” jackie walked over and crouched over Dennis, placing a black medicinal pill in his palm.

Dennis held the pill tightly and looked at jackie with his bloodshot eyes. “I-I-I…I’ve embarrassed our Daxia military!”

“Save your words. Just go back and treat your wounds! You didn’t embarrass our Daxia military, but instead honored us. Your soldier spirit is unbroken. Us soldiers should always fight to the last moment! We have to charge forward, even to our deaths!” jackie gave Dennis a smile before finally standing up. He took out a White-Sand cigarette and lit it.

“Brother Dennis, should we call the ambulance? Is this medicine reliable?” asked a man, frowning.

“It will work. Just bring me home!”

Dennis placed the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

He knew in his heart that jackie, the Supreme Warrior, was not only good at taking lives, but was also equally good at saving them! On the battlefield, quite a number of soldiers were diagnosed to be beyond

saving, yet they were all brought back to life by jackie. That was why the Supreme Warrior had another lesser-known title—Supreme Healer! A man like that was worthy of being worshipped by all of Daxia’s military.

Dennis was then carried away. At that moment, Selena’s eyes were red and she could no longer hold herself back.

She rushed up the stage and ran into jackie’s arms, pursing her sexy lips. “You oaf. How dare you give me a scare like that? Here I was thinking you might not be his match, yet you turned out to be so strong!”

“honey, I’ve already told you. It’s easy to kill this trash!” jackie chuckled, then looked toward the general manager and said, “General manager, you’ll honor your words, right? You have to waive our bill. Moreover, that three million dollars reward, I want it in cash!”

Chapter 254 The general manager’s face turned pitch black in a moment. It was not a simple 10 or 20 thousand dollars, but 12 million dollars! Furthermore, if not for the earlier discount, it would be over 14 million dollars. If he waived that bill and still paid out three million dollars, it would not just be some loss, but rather a huge hit for his business. When the time came, even his boss would reprimand and advise him against letting jackie take part in the match.

However, after some thought, he quickly broke into a smile. “what about this, little brother? We can come to a compromise. Your expenses are just too much. Those that spent their money here, including customers that booked a private luxury hall for themselves, would only have to pay around one to two million dollars. Don’t you think it’s a little over the top to have us waive such a huge bill for you as a new customer?”

Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing, “What about this, I’ll give you a 50 percent discount. Your previous bill is over 14 million dollars. I’ll round it down for you to 14 million dollars. Adding on the 50 percent discount, you’ll only need to pay seven million dollars!”

After that, he reconsidered and added, “Of course, we’ll be giving you the reward. Deducting three million dollars from your prize money, you only need to pay us four million dollars!”

“What? After spending about 14 million dollars, he only needs to pay four million dollars? Isn’t that just too much of a benefit for that couple?” Across the room, Matt frowned.

“I don’t care. As long as his bill is not fully waived, that would be good enough!”

“I don’t care if it’s 14 million dollars or four million dollars. jackie won’t be able to pay up. As long as he can’t pay up, then the outcome is the same!” Britney cackled, patiently waiting for jackie and Selena to be beaten to death by the boss.

“What a joke!” jackie burst out laughing upon hearing the suggestion. “It’s only over 10 million dollars. It’s not like I can’t afford to pay it. However, since you’ve placed such a rule, you should honor it. What you promised was to waive the bill if I won the match, but you didn’t state how much you’d waive! Moreover, that three million is a prize reward that you must pay me! It’s a matter of principles!”

The general manager’s expression darkened immediately. “Kid, don’t make things difficult after I provided you a way out. This is our territory and our arena champion was someone we spent a lot of money to hire, yet here you go and have him killed. It’s already very generous of us not to pursue this matter with you!”

“What’s this? The great Lotus Bar and Lounge is trying to go back on a promise?” jackie was unfazed, staring straight at the other party.

However, Selena was a little scared. After all, the bar had a huge backer, a first-class aristocratic family, behind them. Otherwise, the rich kids around them would not have shut up and watched quietly instead of standing up for them.

“General manager, what about this? You waive the bill and I’ll leave the reward. We can come to another compromise! Take it as us using this three million dollars to pay for tonight’s expenses. How about it? Selena asked carefully as she took a step forward, tugging jackie’s sleeve at the same time.

“are you dreaming?” The general manager chuckled, then said, “With the arena champion dead, do you know how much loss that would incur on us? Moreover, the match earlier was not fair. It doesn’t count!”

Chapter 255 “Unfair?” jackie’s eyebrows twitched. “In front of everyone, with so many witnesses, you’re telling me it’s unfair?”

Unexpectedly the general manager retorted, “Of course it’s unfair. Dennis Howard is a marshal. He’d been fighting with O’Neal for so long. Although O’Neal won, he might’ve suffered serious injuries. It could have been that his internal injuries did not act up earlier…”

By that point, the general manager paused for a moment before continuing, “You, on the other hand, were at your peak and challenging an injured man. Do you think that’s fair? I don’t think you could’ve killed him if he wasn’t hurt!”

jackie was speechless. The person in front of him was rather resourceful, or he would not have been the general manager. His cunning was far beyond the others, seemingly allowing him to spin lies into truth.

Neil slapped his own forehead, enlightened. “That’s right, that must be it. This kid must’ve got a stroke of good luck! Like I said, he’s just an ordinary soldier. How could he possibly defeat O’Neal? Even Dennis was no match for O’Neal, much less this guy!” With that, Neil suddenly became the center of attention.

He then placed one hand behind him and raised his head slightly, saying with a smile, “Think about what happened earlier. jackie merely landed a single kick on O’Neal’s neck. I don’t think O’Neal, with his physique, would die from just a kick, right?”

“Oh yeah, that sounds about right!” Seeing an opportunity to pick on jackie, Ken immediately chimed in.

Neil then added, “Furthermore, O’Neal’s body, chest, and stomach were all hit by the great Marshal Dennis prior to the match. Coincidentally, those were the spots that burst open. What does that tell us? It proves that Marshal Dennis’ attack was the one that killed O’Neal!”

Hearing that, the general manager gave Neil a big thumbs up. “Young Master Hugo is truly smart. That’s right, I already felt that something was off but couldn’t put my finger on it. I finally understand now!”

“Yes, of course. That must be it. It felt weird to me too. How could he die from just a mere kick to the neck? Earlier, Marshal Dennis dished out so many ferocious attacks that landed on O’Neal, yet he managed to withstand it all. It proves that O’Neal’s endurance is really great!”

“ jackie, on the other hand, is scrawny, nowhere near Marshal Dennis. How can his one kick kill O’Neal?”

“That’s why, the one that killed O’Neal should be Marshal Dennis! This jackie dude is just incredibly lucky!” Britney jumped in, feeling ecstatic.

With that, even those that thought jackie was stronger than Dennis started their own discussions.

They felt that jackie was just extremely lucky. Even if he had not gone into the arena, O’Neal might have just burst open soon enough. Therefore, to them, it was Dennis that killed O’Neal while jackie was the lucky one.

Selena’s expression soured as well. She also felt that something was off. Although jackie was strong, it should not have been beyond that of a marshal. He was not a King of War or God of War. How was it possible for him to kill the opponent in just one kick? Whatever it was, she had to stick to the claim that jackie was the one that killed O’Neal. Otherwise, they could not afford to pay that bill of over 10 million dollars!

At that, Selena immediately piped up, “It doesn’t matter if jackie was lucky or not, he was the one that made the kill. It happened during the second match so we won! The attack was made after the emcee officiated the match! Therefore, this reward is ours and the bill must be waived!”

“Honey, you’re absolutely right!” jackie smiled in a carefree manner and gave Selena a big thumbs up.

Chapter 256 Selena rolled her eyes at jackie before speaking to the general manager. “We can forgo the three million dollars, but this bill must be waived!”

“That’s right. Boss, how can you go back on your words?” One of the rich kids spoke up after seeing the charming smile on Selena’s face, unable to resist white-knighting her.

“That’s right. Even if her husband was lucky, he was still the one that killed O’Neal. This is just like kill- stealing in a game. If he’s the one that did the last hit, that kill goes to him. Therefore, the glory should go to him as well.” Another man joined in as well, “You make quite the profit here everyday. How can you be so stingy?!”

“That’s right. If your bar lacks integrity, how would we dare spend our money here in the future?”

“Moreover, regardless of the fairness of the second match, it was something that you agreed to. Since you’ve agreed to it, that means that the rules apply!” stated a beautiful woman with her arms folded in front of her chest.

The general manager’s expression turned gloomy. With a sum over 10 million dollars, it was not really up to him to make the decision.

“I don’t care. If it wasn’t for this kid getting on stage, my idol Dennis would’ve been killed by O’Neal. Although jackie had only gone up and got the last hit, that hit was crucial!”

After Manager Wayne gave it some thoughts, she walked up to the general manager and whispered, “General manager, I think we should just waive the bill. We need to think about the long game!”

The general manager almost had an aneurysm. This manager was just too dumb. Why would she be helping the outsiders?

He gave it some thoughts, then finally stated, “This bill is over 10 million dollars. It’s not my decision to make. How about this, I’ll give my boss a call and tell him about the situation. We’ll make a decision then!”

With that said, the general manager went off to make the phone call.

After a moment, he came back once again. “The boss said that you can have the reward since you won the match. Going by the rules, the bill will also be waived!”

Hearing that, Selena was delighted. She held onto jackie’s hand, exclaiming, “Honey, this is great! We don’t have to pay and even gained three million dollars!”

Right at that moment, the general manager continued unexpectedly, “However, our boss has a condition!”

jackie’s expression darkened. “What other condition? Your boss should think carefully if he’s even qualified to negotiate with me!”

At that moment, jackie was pissed at how the other party was going back on their words.

Moreover, they even hired an American to be the arena champion that led to the death of so many Daxian men. It was already very generous of jackie to not destroy their entire establishment.

“Kid, you’re quite the feisty one. Our boss is the younger brother of the Roy family’s master! for him to speak to you is already favorable treatment from him. How dare you make such insolent statements?!”

The general manager then sneered, “Kid, you’re lucky that our boss is still on his way over. If he was here and heard those words from you, you’d be dead!”

“This guy is too arrogant! He’ll eventually learn what regret is!” Britney growled through gritted teeth.

Originally, they should have all been leaving after the arena match. However, out of curiosity, those that watched the arena match did not leave the venue. They were all curious to find out what condition the boss of the Lotus Bar and Lounge would request for. It appeared that their boss did not wish to let jackie waive his meal and give him the three million dollars reward that easily as well.

Chapter 257 “Sigh, I can’t believe that Master Roy’s brother would be so stingy. It’s only 10 million dollars and yet he’s unwilling to part with it! He won’t go far in life!” jackie let out a long breath, appearing relaxed.

Hearing his statement, more people felt speechless. ‘This person is just too relaxed. That’s over 10 million dollars, it’s not a small figure. A lot of people can’t even make that much money in their entire life.’

Even if the Roy family were rich, it would not hurt them to save as much as they could. Moreover, that kid could not pay his own bill and yet, he was looking down on the 10 million dollars. They had no idea what was the source of his confidence.

jackie took a look at the time and frowned. “Time flies. It’s already almost 11.30pm. I’ll give your boss another 10 minutes. If he doesn’t arrive in 10 minutes, I’m going to leave. I still need to go to bed!” Having said that, jackie stretched his back before continuing, “Otherwise I might be late for work tomorrow. Can you bear that responsibility?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘This kid is too good at acting tough, he’s truly talented. How can he spin his dine and dash into something so inconsequential?’

Most importantly, he even claimed that someone from a first-class aristocratic family might not be able to bear the responsibility of him being late to work.

“how much is your salary? What kind of job is it? Do share with us. I’d like to find out if we can bear this responsibility! I’m a general manager with lowly wages. My monthly income is only 550 thousand dollars! How much do you make a day? I’ll pay you, alright?”

The general manager burst into a fit of laughter as though he was watching a comedy.

“550 thousand dollars a month is quite good!”

“Yeah, this general manager’s life is quite lavish!”

Some people started talking among themselves. Meanwhile, the general manager’s face was filled with bliss, enjoying the moment.

“I’m just a bodyguard!” jackie made a faint smile, then continued, “However, my monthly wage is 20 million dollars. If we break it down, then it should be 666 thousand dollars a day. Since you plan to pay my salary for a day, I’ll round it down for you. You can just pay me 600 thousand dollars!”

Standing beside him, Selena was dumbfounded. jackie was just too daring. That was just intentionally antagonizing the other party. If they were really pissed off, then things would get troublesome. As expected, the general manager’s expression turned uglier by the second.

He gritted his teeth. “Kid, you’re a bodyguard with a monthly pay of 20 million dollars? I think you’re insulting our intelligence! Just who do you think you are? If you say that you’re a marshal or a King of War, I might believe you. However, you’re nothing. You’re just a normal bodyguard. Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Having said that, he then pointed at the few big guys in black suits and said, “This kid is too arrogant. Go teach him a lesson while the boss is on his way. Take it as an assessment of his strength!”

“I’ve killed O’Neal, yet you’re asking these trash to kill me? What are you, stupid?” jackie looked at the few big guys, feeling helpless. These ordinary bouncers were even less of a match for him.

“Kid, don’t look down on us. We’re all retired mercenaries. Do you think we’re just average Joes?”

“That’s right. This kid is too insolent. We’ll have to teach him a lesson or he’ll remain deluded about his strength!”

The big guys in black suits were long annoyed by jackie. They quickly surrounded him.

“Everyone, please don’t fight. We can talk it out!” The sight of so many big guys scared Selena.

“Honey, please move back. Since they’re itching for it, I’ll have a little stretch!” jackie stated with a relaxed smile.

Chapter 258 However, Selena did not back off. Instead, she pulled jackie back and said in a worried tone, “Please stop fighting. Their boss is from a first-class aristocratic family. If we offend them, it’s equivalent to offending a first-class aristocratic family!”

jackie forced a smile, then looked at the people behind him before speaking, “Honey, do you think it’s possible to not fight now? They’re coming at us on their own. Am I supposed to stand here and let them kill me?”

Selena finally realized that it was too late. The general manager gave the order for his lackeys to take jackie out. They could not possibly just become sitting ducks.

She thought about it, then backed off a few steps. “You be careful then. Even if you can defeat them, please don’t kill them. By then, the situation will be unsalvageable!”

jackie nodded. “Relax, they’re just working under orders. Of course I won’t kill them!”

“You two are really funny. Are you trying to perform a skit for us at a time like this?” one of the big guys chuckled.

“It seems that they think this conversation will intimidate us? do you really think you killed O’Neal with your ability? You’re just lucky to have made the last hit when O’Neal is seriously injured!” said another guy.

Yet another guy broke into a grin. “I’m guessing that Marshal Dennis must’ve known some terrifying fist technique. His fist technique’s strength lies in its ability to leave behind lingering energy in the opponent’s body after an attack. It may not seem like much and the opponent would hardly feel the injury. However, once the energy collects and reaches a certain time, it will explode. That’s why O’Neal’s body finally burst open!”

At that point, he stopped momentarily and then continued, “You, on the other hand, had merely got lucky and kicked O’Neal right as the energy exploded!”

“So that’s what it was. As expected of a marshal, what a miraculous fist technique!”

“That’s why. Here I was wondering how a nameless soldier like him could instantly take out O’Neal. So that was the reason. He’s gotten really lucky!”

“Ah, I get it now!”

The other bystanders were coming to their own realization. The scene where jackie killed O’Neal with a mere kick had shocked them greatly, to the point that they thought jackie was a King of War or even God of War. With further consideration, they finally figured out the reason. Seeing that everyone had come to the same conclusion, jackie felt relieved.

All the while, he wanted to keep a low profile. He only wanted to stay beside his wife and daughter and pass their days in peace without being disturbed. Otherwise, he would have people looking to gain his

favor wherever he went with insincere words. Just the thought of a life like that gave him a headache. If not for that, his own disciple Lana Zechs would not need to wear a mask or shades before going out.

Earlier, in order to save Dennis, he was forced to take action. However, Dennis was a marshal. If he defeated O’Neal, that would expose his own strength and bring about suspicions. In order to hide his identity and keep his terrifying strength a secret, jackie resorted to that move, one that made everyone feel that O’Neal’s death was most likely due to Dennis.

Of course, he was also lucky that Dennis had fought O’Neal in a dragged out match and landed so many punches on his opponent. His opponent had indeed taken quite some damage, therefore making it a believable story. As for his kick on O’Neal’s neck that led to his chest and abdomen bursting apart, it was done intentionally to make others feel that something was off. It would also divert their attention to Dennis.

“You’re right. That must have been what happened!” Unexpectedly, jackie admitted it with a smile.

However, he turned to the big guys and said, “Although I’m no match for Dennis and O’Neal, I’m still capable of dealing with the few of you!”

“we’re not as weak as you think!” One guy dashed at them after laughing out loud, sending a punch at jackie.

jackie shifted slightly to the side and avoided the opponent’s attack. With a backhanded pull, a great surge of force caused the opponent to lose his balance as he immediately fell face-first to the ground.

“Motherf*cker, you’re quite fast!” Two other guys attacked jackie from two different directions.

Chapter 259 jackie sent out two consecutive kicks, sending his opponents flying before they crashed hard onto the floor.

He reversed his hands for two more punches, blowing yet another two guys away.

However, they quickly climbed back onto their feet.

“This guy is weaker than Dennis!” someone exclaimed.

“That’s right. If he had Dennis’ strength, those five wouldn’t be able to stand back up. They might have even been coughing up blood by now!”

Britney chimed in, “ jackie was just lucky earlier. He sure gave me a scare when I thought he had a King of War’s strength. Turns out he was just acting tough!”

“Yeah. With this test, his true strength will be exposed anytime soon!” Matt nodded along. “If not for Marshal Dennis spending so much time fighting O’Neal, jackie would’ve been killed immediately!”

“You guys, join in!” The general manager looked at the other bulky guy and said, “Go at him together. I refuse to believe that we’d lose to this guy!”

Right then, the other few guys that did not join the fray suddenly rushed at jackie simultaneously. Unfortunately, they were still no match for jackie and were sent flying one after another. After some time, they were all lying on the ground and some even coughed up blood.

“Useless! You can’t even defeat him with so many of you!” The general manager was clenching his fists angrily as he bellowed.

jackie looked at his behavior, then waved at him. “Since you said they’re useless, you should come at me!”

Having said that, jackie gave him the middle finger, further taunting him. “Come!”

The general manager almost had an aneurysm. He was just a backseat driver as he knew nothing about fighting. Right at that moment, a man with a huge bouncing belly walked in with a few men in black suits,

holding a cigar in his hand.

“Why are you guys fighting?”

The man gave off the aura of a ruler. Although his looks were mediocre, he carried a strong presence.

“Boss, this kid was being disrespectful. He was claiming that you weren’t qualified to negotiate with him! This is just a blatant slander against our Roy family!”

“That’s why I told them to rough him up a bit. However, this kid is unexpectedly strong, hence…” the manager reported respectfully after he took a few steps forward and bowed.

The man with the cigar took a slow, long puff before stating, “As long as he’s strong. I was worried that he wouldn’t be strong enough!”

Having said that, he turned to jackie. “Kid, I can let all our past conflicts slide. This bill of 10 million dollars can be waived too. As for that three million dollars reward, that’s yours as well.”

At that point, he paused for a moment before breaking into a grin. “However, you killed the expert that I spent a fortune on to hire as the arena champion. That makes it difficult for me to run my business in the future.”

“So what? Didn’t your arena match have us sign a consent form? Could it be that only the arena champion is allowed to win while the other challengers are supposed to just lose?” jackie mocked with a cold smile.

“that’s not what I meant. I, Keaton Roy, am not someone that cannot afford to lose. Since you’re quite strong, I hope that we can work together and have you be the next arena champion!”

Chapter 260 “What?! He’s hiring him as the arena champion!” some people exclaimed as they finally understood what

was happening.

“It’s dangerous to be the arena champion. Encountering an expert would be as good as death. Even if the opponent were gracious enough not to kill, he would most likely be disabled!” said another bystander.

“However, the arena champion is a profitable position. The pay is not tallied per month but per match instead. Only when someone registers for the challenge will there be a match!” others chimed in.

“What a lucky guy. He got his bill waived, gained three million dollars, and most importantly, he found a job!” Matt was speechless. At first he hoped for jackie to take the challenge and get killed by O’Neal just so that he could add to Selena’s suffering. He had not expected this to be the outcome!

“I’m sorry but I’m not interested!”

“Moreover, I advise you to stop these activities, otherwise…your bar might be closed down!” jackie reminded him with a shrug.

“brother, you really know how to joke. This is the territory of a first-class aristocratic family. An ordinary person wouldn’t have the authority to close this place down!” Keaton burst out laughing, then narrowed his eyes. “I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’ll ask you one last time. Will you be the arena champion!?”

“The answer is the same. Not interested!” jackie shrugged once more, firm with his decision.

“You’re choosing the less favorable option, eh?” With a scornful smile, Keaton waved his hand. “Rocky, give him a good beating. Moreover, he must pay every single cent for tonight’s bill. Otherwise, don’t let him leave!”

“Yes boss!” Rocky was a one-eyed man. He kneaded his fists before stepping forward.

“Looks like you’re a lot stronger than these guys!” jackie glanced at those big guys in suits lying on the floor. He could tell that Rocky was not a simple person.

From the way he walked, he noticed something was different. Of course, a person like this was inconsequential to jackie.

“Good observation!” Rocky smirked. “In that case, are you scared?”

“Not at all. I’ve never been scared during my five years on the battlefield, much less because of you!” jackie forced a smile.

“You’re rather confident!” Rocky replied as he prepared to act.

Right then, a middle-aged woman with a little boy made her way in through the crowd. She looked at the situation and immediately shouted, “Stop!”

Rocky was surprised and immediately turned around, greeting her loudly, “Mrs. Roy!”

“Honey, what’s wrong?” Keaton frowned immediately with a confused look on his face.

Taking a look, Selena’s heart was overjoyed. She did not expect this woman to be Mrs. Roy. jackie had just saved her son at the zoo in the morning. No wonder she was able to offer 50 million dollars as a reward just like that. It turned out that she was from a first-class aristocratic family.

Chapter 261 “Benefactor, why are you here? I’ve really misunderstood your intentions at the zoo this morning. I thought you weren’t a doctor and therefore, didn’t know how to treat my son. Surprisingly, my son’s leg is all better now as he’s able to run and jump!” Mrs. Roy brought her son to jackie, then urged her son, “Go say thank you to this uncle. If not for him, you’d be dead!”

“Thank you uncle, you’re so amazing! I want to be as strong as you are in the future! Thank you for chasing the tigers away or I’d be dead!” Little Jake looked at jackie, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.

“What?!” Keaton took a deep breath, then asked anxiously, “Honey, i-i-is he the benefactor who held down two Siberian tigers with each of his hands that you told me about?” Keaton was very anxious, to the point where his voice was trembling.

“That’s right. I didn’t think he’d be here. What’s happening?” Mrs. Roy asked suspiciously after looking at the people lying about on the floor.

“A misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!” Keaton then carefully introduced them to his wife before saying apologetically, “I didn’t expect that he would be the benefactor I’d been looking for all this while!”

“It can’t be. He’s actually the man that defeated the Siberian tigers, my idol?!” Manager Wayne’s eyes were twinkling as she almost jumped out of her seat. She had finally met her idol. Now there was only that one idol remaining, the one that killed over 200 men from the Dragon God clan.

“Is this for real? I’ve heard this afternoon that someone saved a kid that fell into the tiger viewing zone at the zoo. The situation was terrifying. I didn’t expect that kid to be the son of this establishment’s boss!”

“Moreover, the person that saved his son was actually jackie!”

Britney was quite badly shaken. To hold a tiger down with one hand, even if his strength was lesser than Dennis, was not something an ordinary person was capable of. It would seem that jackie, who was a soldier on the battlefield for five years, had some ability that was sufficient enough to be considered an expert.

“Y-y-you almost had Rocky kill our benefactor! If not for him, our son would’ve been devoured by the tigers!” Mrs. Roy was furious, pulling at Keaton’s ears.

“Ouch, it hurts. Honey, please, lighten your grip. We’re outside now. Didn’t you promise to not embarrass me in public? There are so many people watching now!” Keaton’s face turned red from the pain, dropping his cigar on the floor as he begged for mercy.

Upon witnessing the scene, everyone was dumbfounded. They did not expect him to be henpecked.

jackie and Selena exchanged looks, then showed an odd expression on their faces. Selena felt the burden in her heart lighten. It seemed that she would not have to worry about being held here tonight.

“What are you waiting for? Go apologize to our benefactor. Here you are trying to have him be your arena champion. How can you be this dumb?” Mrs. Roy let go of Keaton’s ears then placed her hands on her hips, assuming an intimidating pose.

It was apparent that this woman was not someone a normal person could match when she threw a tantrum.

Keaton finally walked awkwardly toward jackie and bowed respectfully. “I’m sorry. All that was a misunderstanding. I really didn’t know that you were the benefactor I’d been looking for to express my gratitude! If not for you taking action, my son would’ve been a goner. He’s my only child!”

Having said that, he raised his head and looked directly at jackie. “Your bill for today will be waived. That three million dollars reward is too little. To show my gratitude, I’ll pay you 100 million dollars!”

“What! 100 million dollars!?” Rosa, Hugh, and the others all gasped. 100 million dollars. That was 100 million dollars! jackie had just hit the jackpot. Moreover, jackie and Selena could finally live a comfortable life.

“So much money!” Matt’s expression darkened as he was dumbstruck. That was a gift from the heavens. If he had 100 million dollars, he would not have to lower himself to be a boy toy and marry a woman like Britney.

“your wife offered me 50 million dollars this morning and I rejected it. I didn’t expect that by nightfall, the price would actually go up!” jackie made a pained smile, then stated, “I’m sorry, I don’t want the money! I only want the three million dollars cash reward!”

Chapter 262 “Oh my god, it’s 100 million dollars! That’s 100 million dollars! He’s actually rejecting it for the three million dollars? Is he stupid?” Britney shouted. She was shocked to her core.

“Yeah. Damn it, with 100 million dollars, you’re set for life. Why did he reject it? If it were me, I’d definitely agree to it without hesitation!” Matt also exclaimed in astonishment, wondering if he was in a dream.

“Who said that being a soldier is useless? This guy is strong and good at fighting. He can hold two Siberian tigers with his bare hands. Now that his lucky moment came and he managed to save the son of Master Roy’s brother, he’s being granted a great fortune in one go!”

“However, why is he refusing to take it?” Dylan also looked confused. “Aren’t they poor? They’re so poor that they can’t even afford to pay the 10 million dollars bill, yet now he’s refusing 100 million dollars? Nevertheless, if you say they don’t like money, then why take the three million dollars?”

Hearing Dylan’s statement, Rachel and the others were similarly confused. Almost everyone was dumbstruck, Ken and Neil included.

“Selena, is your husband stupid? He’s choosing three million dollars over 100 million dollars?” Ken made a scornful smile before quickly adding, “That house of yours is so dilapidated. The last time we almost marked it as unfit for habitation. Although the experts later marked it as safe, I don’t think it’ll last much longer. With 100 million dollars, you can purchase a luxurious house. Why are you making this choice?”

“Selena, is your husband a moron? Is his brain functioning properly? Why would he make such a decision?!” Neil chimed in as well.

“You’re the moron!” Selena shot him a foul look. “Although I want 100 million dollars as well, I’ll respect my husband’s choice! He’s right. When he saved the boy, he had not thought of a reward! His mind was on saving the boy! That was his original intention!”

Hearing that, jackie immediately burst out laughing. He took a few steps forward and held onto Selena’s hand, saying, “It’s still my wife that knows me best. That’s exactly my intention. When I saved the kid, it was not for the money. That’s why I don’t want this money. This is not a transaction!” At that, jackie paused for a moment before continuing, “However, I won this three million dollars from the arena match. By the rules set, it’s mine. Although it’s not much, I’m not going to say no to it!”

Selena’s face turned scarlet. This person had actually held her hands on his own accord in front of so many people. Despite being husband and wife, she still felt as though she had butterflies in her stomach, unable to remain calm.

“Yes, of course. Cash, right? Go get it ready!” Keaton immediately walked up and gave the general manager a kick. “You stupid pig. What’s wrong with your eyes? You couldn’t even recognize my benefactor?”

The general manager turned around to look at Keaton, feeling wronged. How would he have known such a thing? He had only heard about it that night itself that someone saved a child at the zoo by holding down the Siberian tigers with his hand. At that time, he was even joking about which hero had subdued the tigers. After all, Wu Song in Water Margin could only handle one tiger, yet he managed two. Who knew that the child would be his boss’ son? Moreover the hero was actually the guy that took part in the arena match.

The general manager quickly carried two suitcases of cash over, totaling to three million dollars, and placed them in front of jackie.

“Brother, three hundred million dollars is really too little. You saved my one and only son. Why don’t you take a little more? If you only take three million dollars, my son’s life would seem too cheap. I’ll feel really bad about it!” Keaton made a pained smile, trying once more to persuade jackie.

“It’s not just three million dollars. There’s also the waived bill, isn’t there?” jackie smiled as he lifted the two suitcases of money and got ready to leave.

However, he stopped after giving it some thought. “If you’re really going to feel bad about it, then stop this kind of underground boxing match. I’m telling you the truth. If you keep this up, I can have your bar closed!”

Keaton’s expression darkened and lowered his head in silence for a moment before speaking, “Forget it, I’ll stop running this place. Bloody h*ll, I’ll take it as building good karma for my son. Money still needs to be made but it shouldn’t be with violence!”

“It’s good that you know!” jackie stated coldly, then led Selena down from the stage.

Quite a number of people could not resist applauding him. Although jackie’s killing of O’Neal was due to luck, if not for his last hit, O’Neal might not have died.

Chapter 263 Furthermore, jackie was okay with refusing 100 million dollars. His spirit was absolutely admirable.

“This guy is just doing it for the cheers! Hmph, what’s all this virtue signaling! Look at how poor he is!” Britney gritted her teeth, feeling pissed. At first she thought that jackie would be killed by O’Neal, then later she also hoped for people from the Roy family to kill him. She did not expect such a turn of events.

“This guy is really lucky!” Ken and Neil exchanged looks, both feeling helpless. Very soon, they joined the crowd and left the area.

jackie looked at the beautiful waitress and gave her a wave. He then took out 50 thousand dollars and passed it to her. “This is your tip, just as promised!”

“T-t-that much?! Wasn’t it 10 thousand dollars?” The beautiful waitress held the money in her hand, suspecting that this might be an illusion. It was too much. That was the first time she had such a big tip.

“what I said earlier was no less than 10 thousand dollars! I never said that it was only going to be 10 thousand dollars!” jackie chuckled, then said, “You’re a nice person. You deserve this!”

“T-t-thank you sir!” The waitress nodded, extremely grateful. She had a feeling that the man before her was different from others. It was as though money was just a series of figures in his eyes, something insignificant.

When Britney, Dylan, and others saw that scene, they were all flabbergasted. jackie was really generous. Everyone quickly went downstairs to the first floor. Just as they were about to leave the building, they saw that two guards were just about to push two women out.

“Go away. What kind of place do you think this is? This is a bar, somewhere to eat, drink, and look for girls. What business do you have here?” grunted one of the guards as he shoved the other party forcefully.

“Please, I beg of you. Let us in to try our luck. There are so many rich folks inside. We’re just trying to ask for some small donations to build a school for the kids in the mountains!” asked the woman with a pleading look.

The two women wore very simple clothes. Their lips were chapped and their clothes were patched up. In their hands was a promotional flyer. Of course, they also had some other documents with them. “Big brother, please be charitable. Let us go in and try. The elementary school in our area is too run down and collapsed during a thunderstorm some time ago. We’re running out of options. That’s why we’re going around collecting donations. Otherwise, the kids won’t have a place to study!”

“That’s right. Dear brother, we’re really not conmen. Here’s my teaching permit and this is our principal!” clarified a younger woman.

“You’re so poorly dressed. If you go in, our business will be affected!” mocked the two guards by the door.

“Honey!” Upon witnessing the scene, Selena looked to the suitcase in her hand. “I don’t think they’re conmen. It should be real! Why don’t we make a donation?” Selena made a kind smile, unable to let this pass.

“No way. You’re already so poor and yet, you’re still donating? what a joke!” Britney laughed mockingly.

Chapter 264 “Poor? could I afford two Porsches if I’m poor?” jackie snickered. He ignored Britney, then waved at the two women. “Come here for a moment!”

“He’s even claiming to have two Porsches. I must be dreaming!” Britney was even more speechless. Was that guy some boasting champion? How could he be so shameless to insist he had two Porsches?

The two women looked confused, but they approached him regardless.

“Sir, is there something wrong?” asked the principal fearfully.

“Show me your documents!” jackie asked after showing them a smile.

“Oh!” Both of them finally realized what was going on and took out their documents, passing them to jackie. It came along with some pictures of the school.

“Sir, would you like to make a donation? If it wouldn’t be a burden, I hope that you can extend a helping hand, even one or 10 dollars would do!” The female principal appeared to be a little shy. However, for the school’s sake and their children, she bit her lip and spoke up.

“Sir, we’re really not conmen. If you don’t believe us, you can drive over and have a look. Our school is at…” The other female teacher quickly provided jackie with the school’s address.

“That area is quite poor indeed!” Selena sighed.

“Take it. All of it!” Without much hesitation, jackie passed both the suitcases to the pair. “Build a better school for the children. As for the remainders, you can use it to improve their meals or whatnot!”

“This…” The principal and female teacher were both stunned.

Selena was similarly shocked. At first, she only wanted to help them out a little. She did not expect him to be that generous and give them all their money. There was 2.95 million dollars left inside!

However, remembering that it was to build a school for children, her heart relented. “Take it. It’s quite some money inside. You don’t need to go around collecting donations anymore. Tomorrow, return earlier and rebuild the school!”

“T-t-this is filled with money?” The female teacher was skeptical. She then quickly opened up one of the suitcases to have a look and immediately gasped. Inside, the suitcases were packed with hundred dollars notes.

“Thank you. Thank you both! I-I-I will offer our sincerest gratitude in the name of the children of our area. For the children from our school, let me prostrate myself to you!” The female principal was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by gratitude. With tears in her eyes, she fell to her knees. The other female teacher followed suit after seeing that, prostrating herself toward jackie and Selena. “Thank you. Thank you so much!”

“Please get up. You should go back soon. It’s already so late in the night and you’re still running around for the children. It’s not safe. You should be more careful!” Selena smiled, feeling rather good after doing a good deed.

“We have no other choice. Without the school building, the children can only learn in the field. It’s fine if the weather is sunny but we can’t do it in the rain! That’s why we’ve tried our best to collect money, lowering ourselves to begging from others. It’s so we can quickly collect enough to rebuild the school building!” The female principal let out a sigh, then looked at jackie and Selena. “I really don’t know how to thank you!”

“it’s nothing. Money is something I have plenty of. I’m not bothered with this small amount!” jackie chuckled and waved it off like it was nothing.

Chapter 265 Selena was speechless. jackie was very kindhearted, but that boastful habit of his just could not be fixed. However, right at that moment, two red colored Porsches zoomed over at high speed with its blinding lights and pulled over in front of everyone.

“Sister, brother-in-law, your cars are really nice to drive! I feel that I’ve been getting so much attention when I drive on the street!” Ben came down from the car and tossed the key to jackie.

Xena had also gotten out of her car and threw the other key to Selena. “It’s so awesome. This is my first time driving a sports car. The feeling is really awesome!”

At that point, she added regretfully, “Too bad it’s not ours. Sigh, if only I can get one for myself!”

“You’re not going back?” Seeing that they handed both the keys over, Selena frowned.

“I’ve made plans with my friends to play games at the internet cafe later. They’re there waiting for us. We’ve gotten our fill of fun today driving your cars all night, so we’re sending them back to you now.” Ben snickered, then placed an arm over Xena’s shoulder and quickly took his leave.

“Honey, it seems we’ll have to drive one each!” jackie forced a smile, then got into one of the cars.

Selena shrugged, then got into the other as they quickly drove away.

“It seems they really don’t lack money!”

“Yeah. How can the gap between the rich and poor be this big!” The female principal and female teacher exchanged looks, then swallowed hard. The money in the suitcases should be around three million dollars, yet the other party donated it to them for building the elementary school just like that. Such people deserved to be wealthy!

“T-t-they actually own two Porsches! They look brand new!” Dylan was dumbstruck for quite a while before finally exclaiming, “It seems that they’re really rich!”

“Impossible. A bodyguard with 20 million dollars monthly pay? Are the people from the Drake family stupid? Moreover, that kid just got discharged from the military recently. It’s not even been a month. Did they pay his salary in advance?” Britney was all the more confused, feeling dissatisfied.

“how funny!” Hugh finally looked at Britney, Matt, Rachel, and others before saying, “Look at all of you, thinking you’re rich because you’re driving a BMW or Audi. You look down on them when you’re driving a car that’s worth 300 to 400 thousand dollars. How do you feel now? Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

“Sigh!” Rosa breathed out another sigh. No matter what they said, she was the poorest one. At first, she was already saddened by her monthly pay barely going over 10 thousand dollars. After hearing Selena’s situation, she even felt sympathy for her. Who would have thought…

Back at her house, Rosa laughed humorlessly. All of a sudden, she recalled something and immediately took out the name card Selena passed to her. After a careful read, she gasped.

“Oh my god, Selena is actually the purchasing manager of the Drake Dynasty Real Estate’s purchasing department. The assistant manager position that Trevor said he’s interviewing for tomorrow is actually to be Selena’s assistant! And Trevor mentioned that the female manager’s monthly salary was a hundred thousand. Isn’t that Selena? Selena asked me to be her assistant. Does that mean…”

After analyzing it carefully, Rosa was shocked to her core. That night, there were plenty of times where Trevor mocked Selena. He even boasted about the fact that he had his girlfriend pull strings behind the scene. It would seem that Trevor would not be getting the assistant position on the following day!

“According to what Trevor said, this assistant’s pay should be around 20 to 30 thousand dollars a month!”

At the thought of the high salary, Rosa jumped up excitedly and kissed the name card with all her might. It seemed like her chance for a good job had arrived.

“Selena, you’re just too awesome. A person like Trevor deserves his fate!”

Chapter 266 ” jackie, to be honest, the 100 million dollars is very tempting. After all, you would have had enough money for grandfather’s birthday if we took it. But come to think of it, we can’t take the money.”

They went back home and had their bath. Selena was lying sideways on the bed while looking at jackie lying on the ground as he smiled and said, “I realize both of us might be meant for each other. Sometimes, we just seem to have the same thoughts! If I saved the boy for the money, I would’ve taken it. However, the money wasn’t on my mind when I was saving him, so I wasn’t going to take it!”

jackie smiled and looked at Selena who was dressed in sexy sleepwear. Then, he said, “Honey, Kylie seems to be fast asleep. Can I kiss you?”

Selena instantly rolled her eyes at jackie, “In your dreams. But I have a question for you. What are you going to do with the stolen 3.8 million? Don’t forget that mom set a time limit for you!”

Worried, she spoke again after she was done talking. “Also, we agreed to give mom only 10 million worth of betrothal gifts. You’re the one who allowed her to take advantage of you and now she’s asking for 20 million. On top of that, you have to compensate Ivan 10 million dollars and gifts worth a few ten million

dollars. You have to prepare 40 million dollars in total on grandfather’s birthday. How are you going to find that much money?”

“Don’t worry! I have my own ways!” jackie said, unconcerned. He finished talking and after thinking for a few moments, he continued, “By the way, didn’t you think Xena was suspicious? What if we put on a show with your mum? What do you think?”

“My mum? Will she work together with us? What if she doesn’t want to work with us?” Selena was shocked. She wondered what jackie was plotting now.

“don’t worry. If she doesn’t want to put on a show with us, I’ll tell her we’re never going to get the money back! If she works with us, we’ll get the money back very soon. What do you think? Anyways, knowing her personality, I think she’ll agree to work with us!” jackie laughed as he briefed Selena on the details.

…

The next morning, jackie and Selena drove to work respectively. Selena arrived at the office. Work had just started and soon after, Sonia knocked on the door and came in.

She was holding two resumes in her hand. She walked up to Selena and handed them over to her. “Manager Taylor, these two are the selected applicants whom I picked out from a group of outstanding people through interviews. You can make your final decision between these two! One of them is a male, while the other is a female!”

She was done talking but seeing how Selena kept silent, she took another look at the resume and said,” Both of them are outstanding, but I would suggest you choose the male candidate. After all, males would be much more helpful if we need someone to help us drink during business meetings where alcohol is present. Moreover, he just came back from overseas. His name is Trevor Turner and he’s very good in all aspects!”

Selena nodded her head, “He just came back from overseas? Not bad indeed. Is he here now?”

Sonia nodded her head excitedly when she heard what Selena said, “He’s here, he’s here. He’s right outside the door. Should I ask him to come in?”

“What about the other one? Although she’s lacking in many aspects compared to the guy based on her resume, I would like to meet her in person before I make my decision!” Selena smiled at Sonia and said.

Sonia’s expression changed drastically after hearing Selena say that. Fortunately, she had already prepared a backup plan. She frowned and said, “Manager, I’m not quite sure what happened to that lady. I told her to come for the interview at 9am but she did not show up until now. I called her and she said that she fell sick, so she couldn’t come in.”

Selena sneered secretly. She might have believed it if she had not been made unhappy after going to that party last night.

“Really? I’ll give her a call then!” Selena grabbed her phone.

“Ah…” Sonia was shocked. The phone number was a fake number she had made up. She was not sure if Selena’s call would go through. Moreover, the resume was fake as well. The person did not exist. She did not expect Selena to be interested in that person’s resume.

Chapter 267 “What’s wrong? You can’t get through the phone?” Selena’s face darkened as she questioned Sonia.

Sonia’s heart jolted as she smiled awkwardly, “No, no, you can reach her by phone!”

Selena pretended to take out her phone and dialed the number. In fact, she was actually calling Rosa, “Hello, are you here yet? You have an interview today, remember?”

Sonia felt ashamed. She did not expect Selena’s call to actually get through to the fake number she had made up. However, it was fine even if she could. The person on the other end of the call might assume that it was a fraud call. He or she might just hang up or tell Selena off.

“You’re right at the company’s door? Alright, you can just come straight in later!” Selena hung up after saying just that one sentence. “She’s right at the door and is coming in now. Why did you say she was sick and couldn’t attend the interview?”

“That’s impossible!” Sonia was startled but quickly snapped back to her senses. It might have been a coincidence. The owner of the number might have also been looking for a job and was supposed to attend an interview today. Therefore, it must have been a coincidence.

“Why is it impossible?” Selena thought it was funny seeing Sonia’s surprised face.

“No… Nothing. It’s possible because there’s this girl named Avril that’s been fooling around with me!” Sonia laughed awkwardly before speaking to Selena again, “Manager, people like her are not reliable. You cannot hire her!”

“I know what to do!” Selena smiled.

“That’s great!” Sonia nodded her head but was sneering in her heart. She secretly thought that no matter how long Selena waited, Avril would never appear because she did not exist!

“I’ll take a look at the guy who just came back from overseas first!” Selena sat on her office chair. She leaned back, looking extremely relaxed.

“Alright!” Sonia was excited when she listened to what Selena had to say. She immediately exited the room.

Not long after, the office door opened and Trevor entered the room. He closed the door and smiled as he said, “Hello manager…” Trevor reached out his hand to greet the manager in front of him as he talked.

However, he froze on the spot before he could finish his words.

After a few moments, he voiced his surprise, “Selena, why… Why are you here? What are you doing here? Are you a staff member? Where is the manager?”

Selena shrugged. “This is the manager’s office and I’m sitting here. What do you think I’m doing here?”

“You’re the manager? No way!” Trevor was in disbelief. “You make one million a month and are the one they called the beautiful manager?”

“are you surprised?” Selena laughed. “Someone was boasting about himself yesterday, determined that he would definitely get this job. Do you still think you can get the job now?”

Chapter 268 Trevor’s expression darkened instantly. He desperately wanted to dig a hole and jump into it.

He boasted in front of everyone last night. He even told everybody, including the details of his tactic to get the role. That was not the main point. What mattered most was he told everybody that the manager got the job through dishonest means in front of Selena. He said that the manager must be involved in some secret affair with the young master of Drake’s family. That was how she got the job and was paid well. He never expected Selena to be the one whom he had been talking about.

However, Trevor was thick-skinned. He laughed and said, “Selena, I was drunk talking yesterday. I hope you don’t mind what happened. We were old classmates. I believe I will be the best candidate to help you out.”

Right at that moment, a knock on the door sounded across the room.

“Come in!” Selena called at the door.

Soon after, Sonia came in through the door, “Manager, there’s a person named Rosa outside and she insisted that you called her here for an interview. It’s impossible, right? Our interviewee’s name is supposed to be Avril, right? Is she in the wrong department?”

“Let her in!” Selena smiled after she said.

Soon after, Sonia walked out with a confused face and brought Rosa into the room.

“Manager, what’s happening right now?” Looking at Trevor who was silent while wearing a gloomy face, she could sense that something was wrong. She could not help but ask softly.

“You’d better close the door first. It’s better if the other colleagues don’t hear us! Let’s save your face!” Selena said coldly.

Sonia knew that something was wrong, but still, she walked over and closed the door.

“Rosa, what are you doing here? Are you here for the interview?” Trevor’s expression could not have been grimmer. The position for the manager assistant was only open for one person. If Rosa was here for the interview, does that mean that his job would be scuppered?

Rosa smiled awkwardly, “Trevor, don’t you remember Selena giving me her name card yesterday? She said that I’m a capable person and asked me to call her if I want to change my job. I didn’t pay attention at that time. It was only when I got back home that I realized Selena is the procurement manager in this company. So I’m here for the interview now!”

“You know each other?” Sonia’s lips twitched violently. The current situation was worse than she imagined. She could not believe Selena was the one who called the lady over for the interview. Does that mean that the chances of her boyfriend, Trevor, to get the job were slim?

“Not only we know each other; three of us were classmates in university!” Selena smiled coldly and said, “I only found out that you are Trevor’s girlfriend yesterday. Trevor praised you a lot. He told me how

capable you are, and told me how you backstabbed me by telling others I had an affair with the young master of the Drake family. I handle things open and aboveboard. I don’t play tricks, but who would’ve thought…”

Sonia was infuriated when she heard Selena’s words. She regretted very much having said such things about Selena. Things would not turn out this way if she attended the dinner yesterday. She did not follow Trevor to the dinner because her best friend asked her out to go shopping. She did not expect Trevor and Selena were university mates. Moreover, Trevor that bastard spilled everything to Selena. Selena must despise her a lot now.

“By the way, Trevor, I remember you saying that Avril’s resume is made up, right? Also, you mentioned that the one who made up the resume is your girlfriend, our supervisor here! Am I right?”

Seeing Trevor kept silent, Selena questioned him.

Chapter 269 Trevor gritted his teeth and lifted his head, “Selena, don’t be too excited. I’m just unlucky this time to fall in your hands. It’s just a position for an assistant. I refuse to do it now! I don’t believe I can’t find a better job with my abilities!”

“Hah, your abilities? How disappointing. You only knew how to spend your time on games when you lived overseas. Then, you come back and boasted to everyone, telling everybody you’re from overseas. Is that what you call your ability?” Once again, Selena laughed.

“Trevor, I don’t mean to blame you, but you really went overboard last night. If I was Selena, I wouldn’t dare to hire you!” Rosa sighed. People like him who loved to play dirty tricks would backstab you at any time.

“who are you to make fun of me?” Trevor smiled coldly instead. His eyes looked evil as he said coldly, “I’m a man who will take responsibility for what I did. You don’t allow me to work here? I’ll leave then. I might even find a better job!”

He turned his head to look at Selena after he finished his words. Then, he scoffed, “Selena, stop acting like you’re all pure. Do you think I believe a manager like you can get a million dollars per month? The previous manager only got over a few hundred thousand dollars. How come you can get a million dollars? What is done by night appears by day.”

“How can you make so much without hooking up with the young master? I don’t believe it!” Trevor knew that everything was over and he would not get the job. So, he simply flipped out.

“Selena Taylor, you’re too much. How dare you humiliate my boyfriend? You’re so petty!” Sonia said angrily.

“Tsk tsk, how is it my fault now? You eliminated everybody and allowed your boyfriend to come for a second interview without having to go through the first one. Moreover, you made up a fake resume. You created a fake competitor so he had no rivals. I didn’t even blame you but now you’re trying to accuse me?”

Selena did not back down. She already let her off for what happened previously. She did not expect Sonia would use such means again. What mattered most was that she was the supervisor. One would never know what else she would do if Selena let her off the hook again.

“You’re blaming me? yes, I was the one who did everything. So, what are you going to do?” Fueled by anger, Sonia crossed her arms in front of her chest, “My man is a capable guy. I’m being nice to you by introducing him to help you out with work but look at what you’re doing, you’re mistaking a good man for a bad one!”

“Forget it, Sonia. I’ll leave. It’s not like I can’t find another job!” Trevor clenched his fist tightly and glared at Selena. Then, he opened the door, stomped out of the room, and slammed the door.

“Selena, you’re way too much! Don’t you know how to do something out of consideration for someone else? I’ve been working here for so many years. You’re already lucky enough to become the manager. I

recommended my boyfriend but surprisingly, you didn’t even think of helping me!” Sonia gritted her teeth. Her eyes were burning with fire.

“You call that recommending? Recommending through such means?” Selena stunned. Then, she said, “Go out and do your work properly. You’re lucky I didn’t fire you!”

“Fire me? Do you even have the right to do that?” Sonia was infuriated, “I am the supervisor. You have to get approval from the human resources department to fire me. You don’t have the right to do so. Hmph! I’ll complain to my uncle about how you humiliate me today! He should at least transfer you to another department!” Sonia stomped out of the room angrily without another word.

“Close the door gently. Don’t ruin the door, otherwise, you have to pay for it!” Selena reminded her.

Chapter 270 “We’re screwed, Selena. I heard Trevor said that his girlfriend is a distant relative of the Drake family. Could…it be the uncle that she mentioned earlier? If it is really him, doesn’t that mean we’re in deep trouble? We don’t even know what nonsense she will tell him!” Rosa started to grow concerned after Sonia left.

“She’s really infuriated this time. It seems like she’s going to the Drake family. What if she talks bad about you in front of them? Will that put you in an unfavorable situation?”

Selena’s face darkened as she heard what Rosa said. She was worried as well. After all, they were relatives, and she could not guarantee what nonsense Sonia would tell the Drake family.

Moreover, she only started working a few days ago; would they believe Sonia or her, who was merely an outsider?

Rosa’s concern heightened after seeing Selena’s frown, “We’re really doomed. Will they fire you if she really blabbers nonsense in front of them? If you’re fired, that woman will surely come after me next!”

However, soon after, Selena let out a bitter laugh, “I believe if James is capable of becoming the richest man in Eastfield, he must be a man who can differentiate between what’s right and wrong. Moreover, Miss Drake was the one who employed me. I’m sure we’ll be fine!”

She looked at Rosa at the side after she was done talking. Then, she said, “It’s up to you. If you’re afraid that you will be fired because of me once you start working, you can choose to not work with me. You can go back to your current company. After all, you’re getting paid quite well in your current company!”

Rosa bit her red lip and kept silent for a few moments then, she made up her mind. “I don’t care anymore. I will follow you. I can look for another job if I lose this job. I don’t want to stay in that company anymore!”

Selena was gratified. She nodded her head in satisfaction, “Alright, here is some information about our company; you can take a look first! I’ll bring you to your table later and we’ll proceed with the employment procedures!”

“Hey, Selena, how much is my salary then? I’d better make this clear now!” Rosa smiled as she asked.

“23 thousand. You will become our formal staff after one month and your salary will be increased to 30 thousand. Our company will provide you with social insurance and housing fund!”

“You will be working five days a week with two rest days. Working hours will be eight hours per day except for Friday. You are only required to work half day, which is four hours on Fridays. You only have to work until the afternoon!” Selena smiled as she explained the benefits to Rosa.

“Oh my god, the benefit provided by the company is amazing. This is totally my dream job. This is what I always thought a job should be like! I had to always work overtime in my previous company. I even had to bear others’ workload. I was so exhausted!”

Rosa was so excited that she rushed forward and hugged Selena, “Selena, thank you so much. Thank you!”

Rosa seemed to be very happy but Selena smiled bitterly, “Aren’t you worried that both of us would get kicked out if Sonia succeeded in complaining about us?”

“I’m not afraid. I’m going all out now! This is a chance to change my fate!” Rosa laughed as she said.

Selena did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Look at you, you say this is a chance to change your fate? You’d better look for a boyfriend soon; who knows maybe that might be a chance to change your fate? Find a guy who is handsome, rich, and tall!”

“This is not an urgent matter. I want to find a guy whom I really like! Women must first learn to be independent!” Rosa said excitedly.

…

At that moment, jackie was accompanying Miss Drake, who was relaxing as she bathed under the sun in the yard.

“He’s surely living a comfortable life!” Feeling envious, a few bodyguards from the Drake family spoke.

“I know right. This guy is not under the control of the commander and the assistant commander. He can get off work anytime he wants and all he needs to do is to inform us. Moreover, the master said that he can follow Miss Drake around if he’s free. He said he can become Miss Drake’s personal bodyguard!” Harvey, the assistant commander, could not help but smile bitterly. He would not even dare to dream of having such a nice job.

Following Miss Drake around, going shopping with her, and helping her carry her stuff; what a laid back life. What mattered most was that Miss Drake was a known beauty. Even if there was nothing between

them, he gets to follow her around and it would be visually pleasing to see such a beautiful lady every day.

Chapter 271 “Hey, why do you always look so solemn and cold?” Tanya looked at the handsome yet persistent man. She could not help but laugh and asked, “Your wife was the beauty queen of Eastfield who was approved by all men back then. Come on, can you share with me how you trick this pretty lady into liking you? I only heard bits and pieces of your story. I don’t know much about you!”

“There’s nothing much to talk about!” jackie did not bother to entertain her. He set aside, smoking silently.

Tanya could not help but to roll her eyes toward jackie, “Such a lame person. In that case, can you tell me stories about the battlefield? Weren’t you on the battlefield for five years? Do you have any scars on your body?”

“Yes!” jackie smiled bitterly, “However, they’re all healed now. I don’t have any scars left, so, you can’t see them! But it doesn’t matter; I only wanted to survive and grow stronger back then. In the end, I did it!”

“You’re really good. Even Harley is no match for you.” Tanya laughed and said, “Too bad our head commander just went back to her hometown, otherwise, she would’ve challenged you if she knew about you!”

“Are you sure?” jackie frowned.

“it’s just a friendly competition! This lady loves exchanging skills with others. If she found out that an expert is here, she would for sure challenge you to a fight. Moreover, your pay is way much higher than hers; it is only normal for her to be interested in you!” Tanya chortled.

Right at that moment, Sonia walked in through the gate fumingly.

“Hey, what is she doing here? Isn’t she supposed to be at work?” Tanya frowned as she saw her.

Seeing Sonia heading straight to the door of James’ villa, Tanya’s curiosity grew, “Let’s go and see what’s happening. It seems like Miss Sonia is a bit angry. I wonder who made her so angry!”

jackie frowned when he heard that. Sonia picked on Selena last time. Could it be related to his wife again?

Soon after, they followed her. As soon as they reached the door, jackie could hear Sonia grumbling inside. He grabbed Tanya’s arm who was about to push open the door and pulled her back. Tanya blushed when jackie grabbed her. All her life, no man would dare to pull her hand like what he just did. Moreover, he was merely a bodyguard. What a bold guy.

She looked at jackie who had already loosened his grip. jackie was listening to what was happening inside. It seemed like he did not care about pulling her hand at all.

“Uncle, this new procurement manager is terrible! She ticks me off and she’s very arrogant! I worked my butt off to find her a suitable assistant, but she was being ungrateful and chased that person away. She even scolded me, saying that I’m flattering myself!”

“Guess what that lady did? She called her university mate over to interview. She’s abusing her power!” Sonia started to complain as soon as she saw James.

“she’s playing the victim now!” jackie sneered. He heard clearly every word that came out of Trevor’s mouth yesterday.

However, he did not expect Sonia to be so unreasonable. She even came here just to complain.

Fortunately, he was there listening to their conversation. Otherwise, she might slander his wife even more.

Chapter 272 Looking at jackie’s slightly angered face, Tanya who was standing at the side could not help but laughed. Who would’ve known that this guy loved his wife so much? Moreover, looking at him from

the side, his cold face appeared very handsome and domineering. Tanya was entranced for a moment.

“No way. Selena Taylor is the eldest miss of the Taylor family. She did quite well back then when she was managing the Taylor family’s business! I believe in her; she’s not a nepotist! Maybe her friend is really a capable person! There must be some misunderstanding between you two!”

James smiled calmly and said, “Sonia, you’ve been working for the Drake family for years; I know you might feel unhappy with the sudden presence of a manager. However, we decided to do this after much deliberation. You just have to cooperate with manager Taylor, alright?”

“Uncle, that’s not true! I’m not such a petty person! It’s manager Taylor; she only wants to hire her friend… Moreover, she even said she wanted to fire me. She really ticks me off!” Sonia spoke again.

“a person like you should be fired!” Right at that moment, the door opened. jackie was the first to enter the house.

Tanya felt ashamed. Which part of that guy’s imposing manner made him look like a bodyguard? She, the eldest miss, who was trailing behind jackie’s back, looked more like a bodyguard instead. However, whenever she remembered how her father asked her to befriend jackie because he might be a King of War, she told herself to endure it!

“You, why are you here?” Sonia was shocked when she laid eyes on jackie. It was only then that she remembered jackie was working there as a bodyguard. She also heard that he earned 20 million dollars per month. She did not expect someone would hear her complaining. She felt guilty and immediately lowered her head. She did not dare to look into jackie’s eyes.

“If I’m not here, will I find out that you’re accusing somebody else when in fact you are the one who is guilty? I am Miss Drake’s personal guard. Isn’t it normal for me to be here?” jackie’s hands were behind his back as he lifted his head slightly. He oozed an aura that no one else had.

Tanya who was behind him wanted to choke him badly. She asked him to protect her. How did he become her personal bodyguard? Wasn’t it too much to say the word ‘personal’? Moreover, what kind of personal bodyguard would walk ahead and act like he was the boss? He was stealing her spotlight.

Seeing Sonia remained silent as she felt guilty, jackie spoke to James, “Master Drake, this woman is absolutely shameless. The person who she recommended as my wife’s assistant was actually her boyfriend. Here’s the thing…” jackie briefly told James the whole story.

“Sonia, is James telling me the truth? Why do I feel like you are the nepotist here? Moreover, according to what jackie said, Rosa is a capable person as she could take up more than her own responsibilities. Do you think your boyfriend is suitable to become the assistant manager in our company?” James’s face darkened as he said in a slightly angry tone.

“He’s talking nonsense!” Sonia refused to admit. She stepped forward, lifted her head furiously, and started arguing, “You’re Selena’s husband. Of course, you would defend her! Hmph, both of you are working hand in glove to accuse me.”

Slap!

jackie gave her a slap across her cheek, “I can say in all honesty that my wife and I are truthful people. How dare you blame us for accusing you!”

Chapter 273 “You, how dare you hit me?” Her chest heaved with anger as she cupped her face with her hand, “You bastard. You’re just a bodyguard, do you get it? That means you’re a servant. How dare you hit me! Even the assistant commander calls me sister politely when he sees me. Who do you think you are? Yes, I said both of you are working hand in glove to accuse me. So what?“

He gave her another slap.

“You…” Sonia was terrified. She never imagined that the bodyguard in front of her was so daring.

“Uncle, can you please say something? What kind of bodyguard is he? Is he your servant? Since when servants were allowed to hit their boss?”

Feeling aggrieved, she took a few steps backward. Tears poured down her cheeks as she looked at James with an aggrieved look. Her thick makeup was all smudged. She looked like a ghost! Sonia thought jackie was humiliating the Drake family for hitting her and James would beat him up. After all, they were the Drake family and she was part of their family. jackie went overboard this time; she thought James should at least fire him and chase him out of the house or beat him up.

However, she never expected James to scold her indifferently instead, “Who told you to deny your own mistake and slander others? You deserve it! jackie is a veteran. He is someone who is willing to shed his blood and sacrifice his life for the country. He’s an upright and respectable man. How could you say that he’s accusing you? I would’ve hit you too if I was him!”

James was embarrassed. jackie slapped her right in front of him, not giving him an out. That guy was too reckless. However, James was a wily old fox. He immediately knew why jackie dared to be so bold. It meant that jackie had no scruple. He did not give a damn for the Drake family. In that case, his speculation was confirmed. There was something more behind his identity!

jackie was stunned as well. He was speechless. He felt shy hearing James praising him with so many commendatory terms.

He could only laugh awkwardly, “Master Drake is indeed the richest man in Eastfield. You surely have a wide range of vocabulary!”

Sonia was utterly confused. She did not understand what was going on. Rooted to the spot, she was at a loss. She wanted to rage quit so badly. However, she gritted her teeth and told herself to hang in there as the salary was decent and she could also earn from Ivan’s side. Moreover, she could not make impulsive decisions as her boyfriend was now, jobless.

“Even if I said the wrong thing, it’s not right for him to hit me like this, isn’t it?” Sonia was still unhappy. She felt extremely aggrieved.

“Next time, think twice before you speak!” James replied to her, “Alright, I assume you’re not in a good mood today since your boyfriend couldn’t get the job. Take a day off and go back to work tomorrow. Of course, I won’t stop you if you want to quit!”

“Uncle!” Sonia was speechless. Then, she started to speak in a pettishly charming manner, “I’m so devoted to the Drake family, it’s impossible I would want to quit. I even wanted to help the company to improve and become stronger. Why not transfer Manager Taylor to another department since I don’t get along well with her?”

James went black for a moment. Then, he said, “What about I transfer you to another department?”

Chapter 274 “No, no. That’s not necessary!” Flustered, Sonia immediately waved her hand after she heard what James said. Then, she turned around and walked away, “I’ll take two days off, then I’ll go back to work.”

Sonia knew that she only had the opportunity to earn money and takedown Selena by staying at the procurement department. She would lose her opportunity if she was transferred to another department.

Feeling bored, Sonia was wandering around the streets after she left the Drake family. Suddenly, she received a call from Ivan. Soon after, they agreed to meet at a cafe.

“What happened? Don’t you have to work today? Judging from the look on your face, it seems like you’re not in a good mood!” Ivan laughed and said to Sonia.

“Don’t even mention it. This Selena, she really pisses me off! I wanted my boyfriend to work in our company and become Selena’s assistant. In that case, we can see each other every day and my

boyfriend can tip me off if there’s anything important. Who knew…” Sonia sighed and told Ivan everything.

“Your boyfriend is looking for a job? Well, our company is hiring right now. We have some vacant positions but the salary is a bit low. It’s around 15 thousand. Do you think your boyfriend will be interested in taking up the job?” Ivan wanted to please Sonia as he needed her help.

After all, if he could get his hands on the South Hill Real Estate project, the Taylor family did not have to worry about money for the coming two years. Moreover, his position in the Taylor family would be stable by then. He would for sure become the inheritor of the Taylor family and Selena would have nothing to do with that.

Five years ago, the old master favored Selena a lot. All the relatives in the Taylor family thought that Selena would become the inheritor of the Taylor family and take over the family business.

Unexpectedly, that woman got pregnant with jackie’s child. Moreover, she insisted on keeping the child. That gave him a chance to rise again.

“Really? That would be great. The salary is considered decent enough!” Finally, Sonia encountered something that was worth being happy about. She smiled and said, “Thank you very much Young Master Taylor. I’ll ask my boyfriend to contact you tomorrow morning!”

“Alright. Ask him to come straight to my office tomorrow. He’ll become my assistant.” Ivan laughed, although the Taylor family’s business was considered medium-scale and the salary they offered was not high, it was still decent enough.

“Mm, that’s awesome. I hope you can give him more valuable advice and guide him well in the future!” Sonia smiled politely.

“you’re welcome!” Ivan laughed and it was only then that he started talking about the main topic, “By the way, Supervisor Neal, I’ve already prepared all the information for you. Have you collected the information about our competitors?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already collected information on a few competitors and they are no match for you! However, Selena and I are not on good terms these few days so I don’t feel like approaching her. Give me two days’ time; I’ll ease things up and help you get the project! Anyways, I tried my best and this is all I can do. I’ve already compared you with a few competitors and have already turned down a few of the strong competitors!” Sonia smiled and took a sip of her coffee.

“Thanks a lot. Don’t worry, I promise to give you every benefit that we’ve agreed on once our plan succeeds.” Ivan was excited. Finally, he saw a ray of hope.

…

In the afternoon, jackie and Selena went back home as soon as they got off work.

However, Selena was carrying a bag when she got out of the car. A lot of things were packed inside the bag. It was tied up with a rope.

Chapter 275 Seeing Xena and Ben present, jackie and Selena looked at each other and smiled.

“Mom here is three million in cash. The Drake family rewarded jackie for his good performance.” Selena smiled and shouted out to Fiona who was not far away.

Fiona’s eyes lit up as she heard what Selena said, “Really? That’s great. The Drake family is really rich. How could they reward him with so much money?”

“Oh, I went out with the second miss today. Two punks who did not recognize the second miss tried to bully her. So, they ended up getting beaten up by me! They were happy with what I did so they gave me three million cash and I brought the money back!” jackie smiled and said again, “Mother-in-law, your 3.8

million dollars was robbed the other day, right? To make up for your loss, this three million here is for you. Go to the bank and deposit the money tomorrow morning!”

“Alright. That’s great!” Fiona was very excited, “Boy, seems like you’ve been doing quite well recently. However, don’t forget that you still owe us 20 million worth of betrothal gifts on Grandpa’s birthday. Otherwise, we won’t admit that you are our son-in-law!”

“Don’t worry… I will give you the exact amount!” jackie laughed as he spoke.

Xena went back home after dinner.

The next morning, Fiona and Andrew brought the bag and went out riding on their electric scooter.

jackie and Selena had been hiding near the bank they visited the other time.

“If the motorbike robbers appear again this time, it meant that Xena was the one who informed them!” jackie smiled coldly and said, “I think there’s a high possibility that they will appear again!”

“Ben adored Xena so much. If he finds out that Xena was the one behind all this…he must be very heartbroken. Sometimes, I wish Xena was not the culprit!” Selena sighed.

Soon after, they could see Fiona and Andrew on the electric scooter. They parked the electric scooter next to the road.

“Honey, jackie said that the motorbike robbers will appear to rob our money if we come to the bank again. Do you think it’s possible?” Carrying the bag, Fiona said, “How dare that kid threaten me. He said we won’t find the three million dollars in seven days’ time if we don’t put up an act with him.”

“let’s try. I thought it was weird too. The motorbike robbers aren’t God; how can they sense that we’re here and come rob us just like that?” Andrew laughed and said, “Grab the bag tightly. Don’t let others snatch the bag away like the other time.”

“Don’t worry, I’m alert this time. There’s no way they can rob my money so easily.” Fiona laughed.

Right at that moment, two motorbikes appeared from an alley on the other side. Each motorbike was carrying a person behind. Fiona immediately became alert when she saw them revving up the engine and rushing over. It seemed like the motorbike robbers were really here. Seeing the motorbike getting closer to them, Fiona turned around and held the bag tightly in front of her chest. The robber tried to reach for the bag but he grabbed nothing. The motorbike stopped immediately. The men got down from the motorbikes and started snatching the bag in Fiona’s embrace.

Chapter 276 “Oh, what do we do now? Where’s jackie? Tell him to come quick! The robbers on motorbikes are coming!” Fiona was scared out of her wits. Her arms were tightly wrapped around the money; she fought with every bit of her strength.

Andrew wanted to grab the other man, but he was shoved until he fell onto the ground instead. The two men immediately approached Fiona for the pouch.

At this moment, jackie sprinted into view.

“Hurry, jackie. Hurry! I can’t hold on much longer. The money is being taken away!” Fiona shrieked when she saw jackie.

Unfortunately, her strength could not match that of the two young men. The pouch in her hands was snatched away.

“Stop!” Fiona leaped forward at the thought of the 3 million dollars in that pouch, latching onto the man who just got onto the motorbike.

“Let me go, you old b*tch!” Shock jolted through the man when Fiona latched onto him. He kicked Fiona until she tumbled onto the ground. The bike took off in a cloud of dust. Two other bikes sped forward, following the first bike.

However, jackie was only standing a few meters apart from them.

“Stop!” He hollered, his expression darkening.

“Run over that mother*cker!” One of the men driving the bikes accelerated straight into jackie’s direction.

“ jackie, get out of the way!” Selena cried when she saw this, shock rippling throughout her.

It would be nothing but trouble if the bike hit jackie at the speed it was going.

However, just as the bike was about to hit him, she never expected jackie to dodge so artfully. With another maneuver, the bike suddenly flipped. The two people on the bike were sprawled on the ground in a flash and tumbled a good few meters. Lacerations ripped quite a few areas of their skin. The other bike so happened to be rushing forward as well, but it rammed into the fallen bike. The rider slammed on the brakes, but the bike flipped anyway. The two people on it also tumbled onto the ground, squealing in pain.

At this moment, Fiona, Andrew, and Selena finally ran over.

“B*stards. Do you have a death wish, taking my money away?” Fiona was so furious she could explode. She immediately picked up the pouch containing the money before landing a few vicious kicks on one of the men sprawled on the ground.

jackie also walked over. With each kick, he sent the four men flying to a tree by the roadside, as though they were soccer balls.

“Sir, please–please spare us!” One of the men begged in wretched gasps after he realized just how strong jackie was. He ripped his helmet off.

His three comrades simply lay there, helpless. They knew that they had picked on the wrong person this time. They were doomed.

“What about the 3.8 million dollars you guys snatched two days ago? Where is it now? Tell me. Also, how do you know that my mother-in-law comes here to keep her money?” jackie squatted and asked, his expression placid.

“We–we don’t know anything about that 3.8 million. It was a coincidence—we saw that this old lady had a pouch in her hands and thought that there was money inside. That’s why we acted on a whim. You’ll let us go right, sir? We won’t dare to do this no more!” One of the men’s gaze flickered before he explained the situation to jackie.

jackie chuckled coldly. He stood back up and pressed a foot onto the man’s arm. “I can easily break this arm of yours if you don’t tell me the truth!”

The other man was crying out in pain although jackie had not exerted much strength. “I was wrong, sir. I was wrong. Please, not so far. I’ll tell you–I’ll tell you everything. All right?”

Chapter 277 “Well, tell us quickly. I’ll have you know that he’s super strong. There’s a possibility that he’ll kill all of you if you don’t talk!” Fiona did not have a shred of pity for the snatch thieves. She spoke with venom in her voice, and she constantly launched her foot toward them. For the past two days, she had not eaten or slept well, thinking about her 3.8 million dollars.

“I’ll tell you! We handed the 3.8 million to our boss after we took it. And he gave each of us a share of it!” The man immediately spilled everything, evidently terrified.

“Then how do you guys know that we keep our money here? It can’t be a coincidence!” jackie asked them again. He already had the answer, but he needed proper confirmation. Furthermore, there was no way that Andrew and Fiona would think that the culprit was Xena. The two of them—especially Fiona— had already treated Xena as a daughter-in-law.

“It–it was Xena jackieson who told our boss. She’s also a member of the Motorbike Robbers. She gives us information, and if we get the money, she gets twenty percent of the share all to herself. She gets

even more than we do!” The man immediately revealed.

“Xena!” Fiona’s features contorted; she almost wanted to faint. Her head buzzed.

“No way. How could she…” Andrew was speechless. He never imagined that Xena was the mastermind.

“Now I remembered. The two times when we spoke about keeping our money, Xena and Ben were there. There’s no way Ben would have done this. But I never thought… We treated her so nicely, and she…” Realization washed over Andrew. He looked at his son-in-law. “ jackie, both of us were just a witness to your show, right?” he said. “I guess that you suspected Xena a long time ago.”

Selena cut in before jackie could speak, “Dad, it has nothing to do with him. The main point is that I thought that there was something off about Xena. That woman can’t be up to anything good, so I suspected her. I just told jackie to find a way to make something happen to reveal the truth!”

“I don’t care who it is! I just want my money back!” After the shock had subsided, Fiona shrieked even more furiously, “It must have been the four of you the last time! Give my money back. Give my 3.8 million dollars back!”

“We didn’t make much money, Ma’am. We only got about 10 thousand each here. More importantly, the boss of the Motorbike Robbers took the money. Of course, other than him, it’s Xena who took the most. The other members of our gang got only a few thousand each. They’re probably just gonna use it for dinner or something!” The man had a bitter expression. His injuries were pretty serious now. He wondered if he would be beaten to death if Fiona continued to kick him like that.

“You’ll still have to go to work later, Selena. How about this? You take Mother and Father back first, and I’ll get them to take me to their boss. I’ll help Mother find her money.” jackie said to Selena after he thought for a while.

“All right. But you have to be careful, understand?” Selena bobbed her head. She was well aware that not only would she and Fiona not be of much help if they went, but they might be of hindrance to jackie instead. It would be better for him to go alone.

“ jackie, I’m entrusting my money into your hands. You have to get it back! Besides, you told me that you would compensate for my losses if you couldn’t find it within a week!” Fiona reminded jackie. She did not care whether he would be in danger.

“Let’s go, Ma!” Selena flashed a mirthless smile.

“We’re not leaving just yet. We’re already right outside the bank. We’ll go back once I’ve deposited this 3 million. jackie told me that it’s for me!” Fiona said, grinning. She took the pouch and headed toward the direction of the bank.

“Ma, take a look inside that pouch. There’s only scrap paper in there. What money are you talking about?” Selena’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

“What?” Fiona released a gasp of disbelief. Now she understood why Selena had stopped her from opening the pouch while they were playing along; it was because there was no money inside there all along.

She opened the pouch. Anger suddenly gripped her, and she just plopped onto the ground. “My money— 3 million! Gone!”

Selena cast jackie a look; she did not know whether to laugh or cry at this.

Chapter 278 Andrew, too, did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw his wife on the ground like that. “Don’t you get it? There was never any money inside. Miss Tanya never gave jackie a bonus. It was a trick to lure Xena.”

“Let’s go, Ma. We’ll go back home first. I believe that jackie will get your 3.8 million dollars back very soon!” Selena helped her mother to get onto her feet, and the three of them disappeared quickly.

jackie watched as the four men slowly stood up, their faces ashen. He pondered for a moment. “Let’s go,” he said. “Bring me to your boss.”

“Sir, can’t you spare us? Our boss will beat us to death if he ever found out that we betrayed him!” One of the men immediately pleaded, terror seizing his veins.

“Then I’ll beat all of you to death now if you don’t take me to him!” jackie threatened them, chuckling.

“I advise you to not go at all,” another man said. “You seem really strong, but if you do, not only you might not be able to get the money, you might even die a nasty death!”

“You guys don’t have to worry about this. Just take me there. I won’t stop you from leaving if you want to then!” jackie emitted a humorless chuckle. He did not believe that he could not take on the Motorbike Robbers.

“All right then, punk. Just don’t regret everything once you get there. Our boss is a real mean character. Anything he takes, it’ll never see daylight again!”

“And killing someone in Eastfield is as easy as breathing for him!” The man from before spoke to jackie again.

“Really? Then I want to see how mean he can be for myself!” jackie shrugged his shoulders.

As the four men were not critically injured, jackie let them rest for a few minutes before forcing them to get back on the bikes, with him riding pillion to see their boss. At that moment, in a small forest on the outskirts of the city, plenty of motorbikes were gathered and parked in one spot. Over twenty youngsters sat on the ground, smoking on cigarettes.

“You were amazing, Xena. You helped us get so much money two days ago, and now we have even more!” A man who wore a singlet and had a lollipop stuck into his mouth grinned.

Xena took a drag out of her cigarette. “Young Master Howard, don’t be so modest. It’s not like you’re lacking money. You’re the son of Mr. Howard of the Dragon Gods. Do you really place that much importance on a few million?”

“That’s right, Boss. You’re too modest. Your family has plenty of business around here. You just open your mouth and your old man will give you—what, a billion, ten billion? All for your expenses. That’s such an easy thing to do too!” A grunt spoke up, smiling.

“Is that really the same though?” The young master of the Howards chuckled, then he walked over to a beautiful young woman’s side. He cupped her chin, his lips curling. “My father earned his own money. I spend the money I earn myself. It gives me more comfort, and keeps me grounded! Besides, he’s such a miserable b*stard. He only gives me five million a month. How’s that enough!”

“No way. It’s way too little, especially for the son of the Dragon Gods. Your gang is considered one of the best around here. Of course, five million isn’t enough!” The grunt from before quickly said in a flattering tone.

They waited for another two minutes before Young Master Howard began to grow impatient. He glanced toward the direction of the city entrance. “Jeez, Nick and the others been gone for too long. Xena, can your sources be trusted?”

Xena leaned against a tree. “Of course,” she said, a wicked smile on her face. “Don’t you worry. That old couple will definitely deposit 3 million dollars!”

Chapter 279 “Alright. you’ll get 600 thousand this time. Quite a pretty sum!” Young Master Howard said, chuckling.

Xena sat on the ground. “At first, I dated Ben because I thought he was a Taylor. Even if he was kicked out from the Taylors, it doesn’t mean that his family wouldn’t have any money,” she said. “Then I dated him for so long, and only then I discovered that that b*stard’s family really doesn’t have much money. It pisses me off. It’s such a loss for me!”

She paused for a while here before continuing, “If I hadn’t gotten used to playing online games with him, and if he hadn’t been such a fantastic gamer, I would have left him long ago. I never thought that the return of that b*stard’s brother-in-law would give me an opportunity to get some money!”

Young Master Howard walked till he was before her. He pressed her against the ground and planted a wild kiss on her lips. Then he sat on the ground too, unsatisfied. “Then did he take advantage of you, babe?”

“No way. With his looks, letting him hold my hands was already a miracle!” After Xena said that, she took the hand of Young Master Howard and leaned her head against his shoulder. “I like you, Young Master Howard. That brat is nothing. He’s just giving me an opportunity to get some money. He even took me to a dinner among the Taylors. If I can sniff out any other Taylors with good potential, I’ll get some money off them as well.”

“Hah! You’re really money-faced!” Young Master Howard burst into laughter. Xena was someone who truly worshipped gold. He was all too aware of this.

Yet this woman still wanted to marry him. That was nothing but a fever dream. If this woman was not that good looking, or if her figure was not that great, or if he did not enjoy the nights they spent together, he would have not bothered with her.

He was the young master of the Howards. Although he was a young master of an underground society, it was still a powerful society. They were definitely a force to be reckoned with, and they did not lack money. That was why he would never marry someone like Xena if he had to get married.

“Jeez. I love money, but I love you even more!” Xena pouted, trying to appeal to him.

“What about this then? I’ll give you another ten percent from today’s money, so you’ll get thirty percent in total. How does that sound?” Young Master Howard said, smiling after he thought about it for a while.

“Really?” Xena’s eyes brightened once she heard that. Thirty percent was a full 900 thousand—another 300 thousand more from the amount they had agreed upon earlier. This was probably a small sum to Young Master Howard, but it was a huge amount to her.

“But—you already know this. Don’t go and see that idiotic ‘boyfriend’ of yours tonight. I want to get the royal treatment from you!” Young Master Howard gave a wicked chuckle, lightly smacking her thigh as a hint.

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely arrange everything nicely tonight!” Xena said, grinning.

The men surrounding them could not help a mirthless smile as they watched this exchange. This woman loved money more than life itself. So long as you had money and gave her a few hundred thousand dollars, she would probably sleep with just about anyone.

“They’re back. They’re back! Jesus, they’re finally back after being gone for so long!” At last, the man who was watching the city entrance spotted two motorbikes speeding toward them.

“Hah. As long as they’re back, all is forgiven. My men, now we wait to split the money!” Young Master Howard stood up and said, his eyes crinkling into a narrow line.

“Why don’t I see a pouch though? They’ll probably need a big one to contain three million dollars.” A woman frowned as she thought about it.

Chapter 280 “No way. Fiona and Andrew are pretty old. No way that the four of them failed to snatch the goods.” Xena frowned when she heard that. She walked over to take a look. At the sight, her face contorted in disgust—because there was no pouch in sight.

“Useless! Four men and they couldn’t rob an old couple?” Young Master Howard’s expression hardened. He did not look very pleased.

Although three million dollars was not much to him, he never liked failing in anything he did.

“It looks like there are three bikes, but an extra passenger is riding on one of them!” One of the men exclaimed when they came closer into view. The bikes zoomed forward. The people were full of distrust. Five men came down from the bikes.

“Bo–boss…” One of the men had lacerations on his forehead; blood streaked his face. He ran over to Young Master Howard. “We–we didn’t manage to get the goods,” he said, terror laced in his voice. “We fell into a trap!”

“Useless!” Young Master Howard threw a vicious kick at the man. Then he noticed jackie. “Who’s this punk?” he asked his four men.

“Ja– jackie? Why are you here?” Xena’s eyes flickered; her expression morphed into one of a horrified surprise.

She had already thought everything through. She needed to find a way to get money for herself. Even if she did not marry Young Master Howard in the future, it did not matter so long as she had money of her own and could live a comfortable life. If that did not work out, she still could marry Ben, in spite of the trash he was. Or she could leave the city by herself, start anew in another place. She never thought that jackie would actually come. This was a clear indicator that he had seen through her ruse.

“You know him?” Young Master Howard was stunned, “Why does the name jackie sound familiar?”

“Young Master Howard, this punk is a skilled fighter, and he is a bodyguard for the Drakes. He’s also Selena’s husband, and Ben’s brother-in-law!” Xena immediately said to Young Master Howard.

“A skilled fighter? How skilled, exactly?” Young Master Howard flashed a sardonic smile. “Oh, so this is the good-for-nothing who leeched off his wife,” he said. “I remember you telling me that this punk practically destroyed the Taylors. If not for him, Selena would never have been kicked out of the Taylors. What a shame. That beauty was snagged by such a swine!” Here, he stretched his limbs lazily. “I heard that Selena is very attractive,” he said, expression teasing. “It’s a pity that I don’t take interest in women who are married and have had a kid. I probably would like to fool around with her if she wasn’t married!”

“You beat up the four of them, eh, punk? Not bad!” A grunt quirked his lips into a mirthless smile.

“The punk didn’t really beat us. But he must be pretty skilled anyway. He managed to take hold of our bikes and flip them over. Who knows what would have happened if the bikes didn’t fall!” One of the men who was injured spoke up, trying to defend his dignity.

Chapter 281 jackie lit up a cigarette and took a slow drag out of it before he spoke leisurely. “I’ve never expected that you would mix around with such vermin, Xena. Plotting to steal money from Father and Mother? How dumb can you get?”

“Dumb?” Xena grew angry when she heard that. “You’re just a military man. I know you’re a skilled fighter. Ben had told me before. And so what? You’re just a bodyguard. You’re not that great.” She splayed her arms here. “At any rate, I don’t have money and I need money, and I want to get money. Was I wrong?” she continued. “I don’t think I’m dumb. I got 760 thousand dollars from the last lot alone, no?”

Since jackie had already found out, Xena decided to throw away all pretenses. “Do you understand? So what can you do to me? It would have been better for you to stay put. You’re just digging your own grave by coming here!”

“You’ve been with Ben for such a long time now. Do you really not have any feelings for him?” Anger sparked in jackie. Although he did not talk a lot to Ben, he could see that Ben truly liked Xena, and intended to marry her.

“Hmph. Feelings? What good are feelings? Do they feed me?” Xena folded her arms across her chest, a cruel smile lighting her lips. “He’s just a tool. If he wasn’t such a fantastic gamer, and if I, myself wasn’t interested in games, I would have dumped him a long time ago.”

However, she quickly thought of something: jackie came here alone. Did that mean that he did not have much evidence on her? It would be even better if jackie just died here, and her identity would not be revealed. Furthermore, there was a possibility that she could swindle that 3 million dollars into her hands. Of course, the two Porsches were worth a pretty penny too. It would be nice if she could sell them off.

“Young Master Howard, you can’t let this punk leave this place alive now that he’s here,” she said simply as she thought of all this. “My cover will be blown otherwise!”

“Hmph. Looks like you still intend to put that Ben to some use!” Young Master Howard said, grinning.

“Gee. Of course, it would be for the best if my cover wasn’t blown. What if it comes in handy later?” Xena said, smiling.

“Hmph. Don’t worry about it, and you don’t even have to mention it. That punk beat up four of our men. He’s not getting away today! Besides, he ruined my grand scheme of the day. Three million was just within our reach, and this little punk had to ruin it all! It’s been two years since I, Ruben Howard, came out to do business, and this is the first time I’ve tasted failure!” Ruben cracked his neck and scanned his surroundings. “This patch of forest isn’t too bad, and it’s pretty secluded. It’d be a great place for his grave!”

“Hmph. I’m just here for the 3.8 million dollars. But it looks like I’ll have to beat the arrogance out of you by trashing quite a few people around here!” jackie chuckled. He threw the cigarette onto the ground and stamped it out.

“Kill him!” Ruben waved his arm, declaring his order. “You’re just a military guy. What do you think you are? God? Today, you punk, you had the choice to take the easy way out. And yet you forced yourself

into hell instead!”

In a flash, seven or eight grunts surrounded jackie. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Boss, the old couple never had three million. It was just scrap paper and stuff like that in the pouch. No money. This punk lured us into a trap!” One of the men who had been beaten up earlier came before Ruben, reporting everything with the utmost vehemence.

“You’re pretty clever, punk!” Ruben flashed a chilling grin. His eyes contained nothing but pure venom. “You’d better make sure he gets beaten till he’s dead ten times over then.”

“No way. It was fake?” Xena was speechless. She had thought that she could swindle the three million dollars when she went back. She never expected it to be fake.

Chapter 282 “Listen to me, punk. It’s no use even if you get on your knees and beg for your life now!” The grunt was extremely arrogant. They had plenty of men. He did not believe that they could not take care of one man.

Slap!

In a split second, jackie seemed to have apparated before the grunt. Then with a flick of his hand, he sent a slap flying toward the side of the grunt’s face.

“I—” The grunt took a sharp intake of breath. That was way too fast. He did not even have time to react and, he had gotten a slap. He closed his fingers into fists, getting ready to punch jackie. The other men surged forward. Yet jackie just grabbed his arm in a flash, and with a mighty swing, the grunt was sent spiraling into the men that surged forward. Then jackie released his grip, and the grunt flew, crashing heavily into a nearby tree. Blood spurted from his mouth as he landed on the ground with a resounding crash.

“Bunch of weaklings. I take good care of you every day, and you’re still this useless!” Ruben understood that jackie was not an easy one to beat when he saw that. “All of you, get him,” he said carelessly. “Get him together. It’s obvious that they weren’t enough!”

Here, everyone besides Xena and Ruben rushed toward jackie. The men from before picked themselves up from the ground and charged toward jackie as well.

“It looks like I’ll really have to kill some of you!” jackie loosened a breath. The grunt who had been flung onto the tree was now lying on the ground, vomiting blood, unable to get up. He had thought that this would be enough to scare this bunch and force the boss to give him the money. It was evident that he was too naïve. This bunch would not give up so easily.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

jackie broke the necks of seven or eight men in rapid succession. The remaining men stopped in their tracks when they saw the bodies on the ground.

“Bo–boss, looks like they’re dead!” One of the men ran over and placed his fingers under his comrade’s nose before sputtering those words.

They were not the same. They were not actually part of the Dragon Gods; they just liked drag racing. Besides, they did not really fear anything under Ruben’s leadership. After the many times that they had successfully snatched things, they grew bolder. This bunch of people were dubbed the Motorbike Robbers. Anyone who knew what they were, did not dare to provoke and offend them. They never expected that this military veteran would suddenly turn up—and he would be such a skilled fighter. He was bold too, killing several of their men in a flash. Normally, they would take knives to hack some limbs off, but they never killed anyone before. Naturally, they were frightened when they saw this. Several men were so terrified that their legs trembled.

“F*cker! Do you really take me as a pushover?” Ruben ran toward the back of his bike and whipped a gun out, aiming it at jackie. “I never expected you to be this good, punk,” he said.

“Looks like those useless underlings of mine are of no match for you.” He paused for a while before resuming nonchalantly, “But I have a game in mind. Do you think that you’re faster, or will my bullet be faster?”

“You’re amazing, Boss!” One of the grunts’ eyes danced with maniacal delight when he saw that. “That mother*cker dared to beat me, and he killed so many of our men. We’ll teach him the meaning of ‘no mercy’ today!”

“Hah. Don’t worry. I won’t finish him in one shot. I’ll shoot his leg first, then both. I’ll let him feel the pain for a bit, then we’ll decide what to do after.” Ruben grinned.

However, he was quickly stunned in his spot. It was because jackie actually bent down and picked up two stones. The other man stared at him, smiling.

“Do you really think that picking up two tiny rocks will do you any good, punk?” Ruben flashed a cold smile. “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. I’ve already got my gun aimed at you, and you pick two pebbles up. What use is that?”

“Of course they’re useful!”

Chapter 283 “Although I’m not afraid even if I don’t use rocks, I still want to play around with you too!” jackie said lightly as if he did not give a sh*t about the other man.

“Not bad. Hah!” Ruben laughed and opened fire at jackie’s thigh.

In a blink of an eye, jackie flung his arm forward. The two pebbles shot forward. One of the rocks happened to hit the bullet, deflecting it. The other rock whacked straight into one of Ruben’s fingers.

“Ah!” Ruben shrieked. The finger that had been hit immediately snapped, as though he had been hit by a bullet. Half of the finger fell onto the ground. The sudden flare of pain made Ruben cry out in agony. The gun slipped from his grip and fell onto the ground as well.

“Boss!”

“Young Master!”

The remaining men stared at the situation, goggle-eyed, wondering if this was real.

“F*ck! Kill him!” Ruben looked at the gun on the ground, then turned toward one of his men by his side. “Pick up that gun and kill that punk!” he snarled.

The man immediately bent over to pick the gun up. His body was still filled with shock. He did not know if it was a coincidence that the punk’s rock hit the bullet. As for Ruben’s finger, they did not see what had happened clearly. They suspected that the bullet had ricocheted and so happened to find its mark in Ruben’s finger.

While Ruben was yelling, jackie was already rushing toward his direction. He quickly reached the man at the speed of a cheetah. The man’s hand did not even reach the gun when jackie kicked him away. jackie then bent down and quickly snatched the gun, standing up and leveling the barrel at Ruben’s head.

At the moment, Ruben was in so much pain that cold sweat perspired down his forehead. Blood streamed down his hand. However, he had no thoughts for the wound on his hand. He had been the one aiming the gun but in a few seconds, that same gun was being aimed at his head instead. This abrupt turn of tables made his brain numb.

“Bo–boss, how–how could this happen?” The remaining men were terrified, at a loss of what to do. Two of the men were so scared that they wanted to take off, but they were afraid that even if jackie did not kill them when they ran away, the Dragon Gods would not let them go either. The Dragon Gods were a

powerful force. They were an underground society, but their strength deterred even the aristocrats from provoking them.

“You’ll regret your decision if you kill me, punk! I’m telling you, I’m the son of Master Howard, the grandmaster of the Dragon Gods!” At this moment, although Ruben was terrified, he still showed some backbone, unwilling to give up.

“The Dragons Gods?” jackie’s forehead creased, thinking of a past incident. That Brother Scar and Ned and their men, who numbered about two hundred in total—did he not kill them all already? He never thought that the boss of the Motorbike Robbers would be the son of the grandmaster, Master Howard. What a coincidence.

Ruben’s chest loosened in relief when he saw that jackie did not speak. It looked like jackie was afraid now. After all, no one heard of the name of the Dragon Gods and claimed to be unafraid.

“What’s wrong? Afraid? Heh. Since you’re afraid, just give the gun to me, you punk!” Ruben smiled, then spoke.

“You think I’m dumb?” jackie said coldly.

Chapter 284 It was hilarious. This punk really took him for a fool, thinking of using the Dragon Gods’ name to scare him into giving the gun away. That would be like digging his own grave.

“My father will never forgive you if you kill me. You’d better think this through!” Ruben flashed a mirthless smile and spoke.

“I just wanted to get the 3.8 million back. I never thought that you would want to kill me. From the looks of it, I have no choice but to kill you!” jackie gave a cold smile before continuing, “Let’s say I kill you and everyone here. Do you think your father would really find out that I did it?”

“You can try if you don’t believe it!” Ruben chuckled and said, “Do you really think that after coming out of the city on my subordinate’s bike, there would be zero witnesses along the way?”

“Not bad!” jackie grinned. “That’s why the best course of action is to just wipe the entire Dragon God gang, right? I can’t get a good night’s sleep otherwise!”

After he said that, jackie aimed the gun at Ruben’s thigh and opened fire. Ruben screamed in pain and keeled over, all color leeching from his face. He never expected this punk to be so vicious, shooting straight at him.

The remaining men were so terrified that they shrieked. They wheeled around and took off. They felt that the jackie who stood before them was practically a madman. He did not fear death anymore; he was a frenzied, living killing machine. They were people who had never crossed the line of killing others. Who would have thought that jackie had brushed against death many times? Compared to jackie, they were just a small fry.

jackie opened fire, the shots ringing throughout the forest. The men all dropped onto the ground in silence. jackie’s skill with the gun was practically godlike.

Xena shrieked in terror. It was because only she and Young Master Howard were left. At that moment, the barrel of jackie’s gun was pointed toward her. Young Master Howard was so terrified that he sat on the ground. A jolt of pain spiked up his leg. He clenched his teeth. However, he did not care about all of that now. He was more worried that jackie would really kill them all. Today, he met a man who truly did not fear anything.

“Don’t–don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me. I just wanted money! I joined their gang to get some money! You can’t kill me—I’m Ben’s girlfriend! I’m begging you. You’ll be my brother-in-law if I marry Ben. We’re family!” Xena was so frightened that she fell onto her knees and pleaded. Pure panic filled her expression.

“Get out of here! Get out of my sight!” After jackie thought for a while, he added, “Do not breathe a word about what happened today. I’ll make sure you die a painful death if you don’t do that!”

“I–I’ll get out of your sight!” Xena was scared out of her wits. She quickly ran, got onto a bike, and rode off.

Chapter 285 “Young Master Howard, right? ‘Does jackie dare to kill you?’ What do you think of this sentence right now?” A mirthless smile hung on jackie’s face. He said, “You could’ve just returned me the 3.8 million when I first asked, but now…”

“I-I’ll give you! Please spare me! I beg you!” Ruben knelt before jackie, petitioning for his pitiful life. He only realized how stupid of him to provoke a veteran now that he had experienced his viciousness first- hand.

“Fine. I’ll spare you. But make a call to your dear Father and ask him to send over 3.8 million dollars right now. It has to be 3.8 million, nothing less! I’ll be over for a joint. Let me warn you first, you better not play any dirty tricks! It would be useless after all. And you don’t want the Dragon Gods to be in trouble!” jackie continued in a lazy tone. Ruben’s thigh was severely wounded; the blood was practically spewing out from the gunshot wound.

He walked toward a big tree and stood under it, lighting up his joint casually and relaxingly.

He would not be merciful toward those who deserved to die. Hope and subtle joy sparked within Ruben as he watched jackie walking away. He was given an opportunity to make a phone call too!

Ruben immediately pulled his mobile phone out of his pocket with his hand covered in blood, dialing his father’s phone number. “Father! I’m dying! Quickly come and save me!”

Ruben cried into his mobile phone as soon as Howard picked up the call. “There’s a b*stard called jackie White! He wanted to kill me, Father! He will only spare my life if you bring him 3.8 million dollars in cash! Otherwise, I will be dead!”

“W-What!” On the other end of the line, Mr. Howard slammed the table at his son’s words and stood up abruptly from his chair. “What the fck! Who the hll is this jackie White? How dare him! Is he digging his own grave?”

Not long after, thoughts flashed through his mind and he said, “It’s strange, my son. You’re abducted right? If it’s an abduction, it’s impossible that the kidnapper only asks for 3.8 million dollars. You should be worth more than a billion!”

Ruben was speechless. Why on earth was his father still annoyed by the amount when his son’s life was at stake.

Ruben whispered into the phone, fearing that jackie would overhear it. “Father, the real situation was…” He explained. After explaining to Master Howard, Ruben continued, “Father, my leg got shot, bled a lot and it’s still bleeding! I can’t bear it much longer if you don’t send help over right now!”

“All right, my son! I will send someone to get you.” Master Howard responded, and then immediately ordered his men, “Son of btch! Send 300 men to get Young Master Howard and we will have to let that bstard know the consequences of going against the Dragon Gods!” Master Howard gritted his teeth. He felt about to burst from rage. How dare this veteran provoked his men, and even shot his son!

This was not the worst. The most devastating news was that this veteran did not flinch even after knowing that the men belonged to Dragon Gods and Ruben was the Young Master of the Dragon Gods! This punk took the Dragon Gods clan lightly!

“N—no. Don’t!” Although Ruben was keen to kill jackie right now, he was not an idiot; he replied instantly, “No. You can’t send this many people, you will be waking up a sleeping wolf! We’re at a jungle outside of

the city, and what if he saw these men from afar, and immediately shot me and then ran into the woods? Our men will find no one by the time they arrive! I will die in vain!”

Master Howard held his breath, listening to Ruben’s words. He was in a frantic state earlier on, only wanting to rescue his son, and let the bstard know the consequences of provoking his clan, but did not think of this. Fortunately, the smart son of his reminded him of it. Ruben was right, if that bstard saw so many people marching toward them, he would probably kill Ruben out of fear.

After some moment of thinking, he then said, “Hmmm. How about I send the five Tigers of the Dragon Gods over? They are all skilled combatants! It should not be a problem for them to rescue you out!”

There were a total of six skilled yet vicious men in the Dragon Gods. Any of them was skillful enough to defeat one hundred alone and even hundreds for some of them! They were widely known as the Six Tigers of the Dragon Gods, however Scar was killed recently and now there are only the Five Tigers left. Ruben truly believed that if the Five Tigers came here, jackie would be so dead!

“Hmmm. It’s better to bring the cash along too, to prevent anything bad from happening!” Ruben advised his father after giving some thought to the matter. At least the cash would make jackie let his guard down, it will make him think that we’re really using the cash to exchange my life! Otherwise, I fear that I will immediately end up a corpse when jackie does not see the money!” Ruben finally hung up after a few more words.

Chapter 286 “Young Master Ruben, what’s taking your phone call so long? You wouldn’t be trying anything now, would you? I told you to bring me that 3.8 million dollars in cash, you wouldn’t be calling for help now, would you?” jackie noticed the phone call took a while before he hung up therefore his question.

“How could I? I only ordered them to help arrange that 3.8 million dollars for you. Don’t worry, they will arrive real soon!” Ruben immediately replied as he panicked.

“Really? I’ll show you what happens if you lie to me!” After jackie made that cold statement, he actually tossed the pistol toward Young Master Ruben.

“Ouch!” The pistol struck Ruben’s thighs which infuriated him. He immediately picked it up and was about to toss it back at him, “Goddammit, don’t you dare cross the line…” Ruben paused as he said that, it was only then did he realized that jackie had tossed him a pistol. “you truly have a deathwish. You actually tossed me a pistol?”

Ruben felt ecstatic. It seemed jackie did not pay much attention when he tossed the pistol over.

He immediately aimed the pistol at jackie then said, “Don’t move, don’t you dare pick up a pebble. If you even dare move a muscle, I will end you.”

jackie laughed as he noticed Ruben’s expression. He then stood up.

“Die!” When he noticed jackie moved, Ruben was worried he would pick up a pebble again, so he immediately aimed the pistol at jackie and pulled the trigger twice. However, he was speechless at the very next second. There were no bullets in it.

“What? Impossible!” Ruben’s expression turned extremely bitter since this was such a great opportunity to murder jackie. He never expected there would be no bullets in the pistol.

“Young Master Ruben, do you think I’d toss the pistol to you if there were bullets in it?” jackie chuckled while he stretched. He then said, “I was still testing you. I didn’t expect you to fail so spectacularly!”

Ruben had almost passed out from being infuriated. This brat was too witty. Fortunately, he did not beat him up. After finishing a cigarette, he patiently waited on the side. Not long after, two SUVs sped over.

“There are only a few people here. It seems, Young Master Ruben, you are quite the honorable man!” jackie chuckled. However, he was quite aware that for the people in the Dragon God Clan, after shooting

the boss’ son’s leg and breaking his finger, they would never have dropped the whole thing. Besides, it was not easy to cross the mafia anyway.

“Well, of course, we are all honorable men so obviously, we’d honor any word given!” Ruben scoffed in his heart. It seemed only death would await for this brat.

Both SUVs were parked nearby. Five people got out and two of them were each holding a leather box. All five of them eyeballed each other then took a glance at Ruben before slowly making their way over. jackie was standing in front of Young Master Ruben while calmly staring at those five men. He could tell these five men were no ordinary ruffians within the Dragon God Clan. Based on their footsteps and the faint aura emanating from their body, jackie could tell these five men should be quite powerful. They might be quite similar to Scar’s power level from previously.

Chapter 287 The main reason why the Dragon God Clan could have such a huge influence in Eastfield was because of these few powerful men.

“You sure are bold. You actually kidnapped our young master. this is my first time ever seeing someone this bold in the years I’ve lived in Eastfield!” One of the bald men chuckled coldly. He then looked at the pile of corpses on the ground and said, “It seems your combat skills aren’t too bad. However, all that you’ve taken care of are merely trash to the Dragon God Clan. You will die when you encounter someone truly powerful.”

jackie chuckled and took a step forward. “you guys wouldn’t want to kill me now, would you?”

He noticed jackie was inching closer to Ruben and his expression immediately dimmed. Although they were powerful and their speed was also without a doubt, fast but their distance was still quite far from jackie. Moreover, jackie was a retired veteran and if he was able to survive five years on the battlefield, he naturally would have some form of impressive skills. Therefore, they believed that with jackie’s abilities, by the time they reached him, he could swiftly murder Young Master Ruben in an instant. Not to

mention, Young Master Ruben looked inhumanly pale and the whole situation did not seem very optimistic.

“that’s a misunderstanding. All but a misunderstanding!” That bald man chuckled before saying, “Come on now, brother, release our young master and we’ll hand you the money. It’s only 3.8 million dollars anyway and everything will be fine! Our young master’s life isn’t only worth this much money!”

“it’s good that you guys see it this way!” jackie laughed before walking toward those men.

When he noticed jackie approaching them, he was instantly stunned. Since usually, should jackie not hold a knife or a gun to threaten Young Master Ruben while both parties closed in on each other before making the trade? However, this guy ignored Young Master Ruben and instead was approaching them on his own accord? If that was the case, would they not have the opportunity to immediately murder this man? However, he was quite powerful hence, the best outcome would be avoiding any direct conflicts against him.

“Come on now buddy, take it!” The bald man and the people around him were all extending an arm toward him before handing the leather box to him.

They understood very clearly that jackie would use both hands to pick up both boxes. When both of his hands were full, that would be the opportunity for them to strike. Then, jackie would be caught off guard. Since both of his hands would be full, a single direct attack from them would no doubt be lethal to him.

It turned out, everything was as they had predicted. jackie smiled and reached out with both arms then accepted both boxes. As jackie was accepting both boxes, both men reached out and drew a dagger from within their sleeves then attacked at the same time. Both daggers were charging toward jackie’s chest. Both of their attacks were extremely fast and the most important part was how in sync both men were. One was attacking jackie on the left and the other on the right, sealing off any chance of jackie’s escape.

However, jackie was in complete control of the whole situation. Although their speed was incredibly fast, in jackie’s eyes, they were nothing. With an immediate wave of his hands, he flung both boxes outward from his hand one at a time.

“Thud, thud!”

With two movements, both men were hit directly by those boxes as they were shot out immediately. That strength was oddly powerful. If any normal human was to fling both boxes out, nothing much would happen. However, when jackie flung those leather boxes, the impact shot both of them outward as they crashed landed on the ground immediately after. The bald man who was struck first felt as if his arm had almost broken. The pain was so intense, his entire arm was shaking.

Chapter 288 “Such powerful strength!” One of the men who was in a slightly better condition got back up from the ground immediately while staring at jackie with a serious look.

The remaining three men immediately surrounded jackie. Therefore, all five people had jackie completely surrounded.

Young Master Ruben let out a sigh of relief when he noticed jackie was completely surrounded. He exclaimed, “You lot don’t kill him immediately. Beat him up nicely and don’t give him a quick and painless death.”

That bald man let out a bitter laugh before saying, “Young Master Ruben, this guy isn’t a pushover. Even if we can kill him, it’ll be a very difficult thing to do!”

After Young Master Ruben heard that he gasped and said, “No way, right? You guys happen to be the Five Tigers of the Dragon God. Although there’s six of you initially, unfortunately Scar was killed. Our Dragon God Clan obviously does not need to bend to the wills of the other clans.”

“This man was a soldier for five years and anyone who can survive on the battlefield for five years obviously wouldn’t be a pushover. It seems it’ll be a one in a million chance to ever encounter a man like this!” A man with a tiny beard spoke.

After he was done speaking, he flipped over his palms and grabbed onto the same dagger from earlier before saying, “However, it’s very unfortunate for him to run into all five of us at the same time. Don’t worry, Young Master Ruben, this guy will die today!”

Young Master Ruben instantly felt delighted after hearing that bearded man make such a confident claim.

“didn’t you guys say that you guys valued honor the most? Didn’t you guys say that you guys were not planning to kill me and it’s merely a matter of 3.8 million dollars?” jackie chuckled as he spoke.

“You have to be really naive if you believe that! Our Dragon God Clan has seen all kinds of awful things. you’ve beaten our young master to such an extent, do you think we’ll be able to let you go?” The bald man coldly exclaimed.

“That’s right. You know, our young master’s status is quite a precious one and the truth is, 3.8 million isn’t really a concern but since you dare make a move on the members of our Dragon God Clan, you’ve sealed your current fate!”

After the bearded man was done speaking, he squatted slightly next to jackie, and with a slight twitch of his foot, the dagger shot out of his hand. The blade morphed into a greyish glint as it flew directly toward jackie’s thighs.

jackie could clearly tell the man had no intentions to murder him yet or else, that blade would charge at him in a much more lethal way. This meant, he only wanted to torture jackie before murdering him.

“Is that all you got?” As fast as his speed was, it was incredibly slow to jackie’s eyes. He immediately reached out to grab his opponent’s wrist before giving it a gentle squeeze.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound could be heard and the bearded man’s arm fractured from the wrist down. If it was not for his skin and tendons keeping it in place, it would have fallen on the ground already.

“Ah!” The bearded man’s dagger instantly fell on the ground. That intense agonizing pain caused his face to cramp. After a loud shriek, his entire body recoiled back.

jackie kicked the dagger with the tips of his foot which caused it to instantly shoot out and stab the bald man’s thighs as he was getting ready to attack.

“Ah!” The bald man cried out in pain and his expression looked extremely bitter in that instant. Shocking flashes could be seen at the corner of his eyes.

Not only was jackie’s speed incredibly fast, his movements were as fluid as flowing water. Anyone who could pull this off would be masterly skilled. It seemed he was able to clearly see through their every move.

Chapter 289 However, the bald man was also violent. He immediately pulled the dagger out of his thigh while fresh blood spewed out like a geyser. He then took the dagger and started charging at jackie. When he charged with the dagger, he cracked a grin at the edge of his lips. That was because the attacks of three other men from the different directions had landed.

Four men except the bearded man with the broken arm were attacking jackie from four different directions. Four powerful foes had jackie surrounded and based on the angle of attacks, it would be impossible for anyone to dodge out of the way.Those other three men all felt like jackie could never escape this time.

However, all they could see in that instant was a blur. With a single jump, jackie’s movements were so fast, he contorted into a very odd position, completely avoiding their attacks. He then came behind one of them and with a sweeping kick, that man fell on the ground.

When the other three men realized something was amiss, jackie’s attacks were already in action. It did not take too long for those three men to fall on the ground.

There was another dagger in jackie’s hand. An ancient dragon picture was carved on the dagger’s body. His dagger was unimaginably sharp and just when all four men had just stood up, jackie made a full circle slash while those four men stood frozen on the same spot.

All four men slumped over immediately. Fear was still fresh in their eyes and a huge slash wound could be seen on their necks. Due to how fast jackie’s speed was, that dagger was not stained by blood and it took two to three seconds for the blood to start pouring from the slash wounds on their necks.

“No, impossible!” The bearded man who had a broken arm was so terrified, he was losing his composure. He never expected that even with a fully surrounded attack on jackie by five extremely powerful men, would end up like this.

He was skeptical that this guy was no ordinary veteran. This guy had to be insanely powerful, he might actually be a major. As he looked at the four corpses lying on the ground, the bearded man no longer cared if Young Master Ruben lived as he turned around to escape.

Unfortunately, even with the chances that jackie gave him, within two seconds, a slash wound could also be seen on the bearded man’s neck. He had the same frightened look as he slumped over on the ground. It was only then did Ruben realized just how terrifying jackie was.

The five tigers were all actually single-handedly murdered by him.

“No, impossible. Who exactly are you? If you’re not a marshal then you should be a King of War!” Ruben knew there was no escape for him since his leg was already injured. Although he was afraid, he had no intention to escape because his escape would be impossible.

“Originally, I was planning to let you live after getting my 3.8 million!” After jackie smiled, he added, “However, the condition we agreed on was for you to not play any tricks when I allowed you to make a phone call. I didn’t expect you to not appreciate your final chance. You only have yourself to blame!”

“Who exactly are you? Marshal or the King of War?” Ruben seemed displeased with his own death since he refused to believe jackie was a simply retired veteran.

However, the intel Xena told him this brat had merely served in the military for five years and he made some minor contributions, nothing significant enough.

“Guess higher!”

Chapter 290 Ruben had always thought he was quite intelligent. Therefore, if jackie was not a marshal, he would be a King of War. Since it was only in those situations could someone murder five of their Dragon God Clan powerhouse.

The position above the King of War would be the nine Gods of War. However, the identities of all of them were all announced on T.V. Hence, everyone knew who they were.

Amongst the nine of them, none were named jackie White and he wanted him to guess higher?

“No way? Could there be a tenth God of War? You weren’t made public?” Ruben frowned and he knew that he would be dead soon since jackie would never let him go. However, he wanted to know who exactly this guy was.

Suddenly he had a eureka moment as he gasped and said, “You, you’re the Supreme Warrior! Yes, that has to be it, the Supreme Warrior was originally planned to be made public but was canceled at the very last minute. Therefore, the identity of the Supreme Warrior had become a mystery!”

With that thought, Ruben’s heart was shocked. He never expected to cross the Supreme Warrior for a measly 3.8 million dollars. The existence of the Supreme Warrior was the peak of all of Daxia, one who was capable of calling the winds and rains on a whim.

“Haha!” Finally, he burst out laughing as he said, “I truly never expected that I will be able to meet the majestic Supreme Warrior. Alright, after gazing upon his true face, I have no regrets dying!”

After he was done speaking, he stood up while gritting his teeth and said, “Come on now, make it quick and painless, you’ll have my thanks!”

jackie never expected this kid would behave more like a man upon his death!

jackie made a backslash, turned around, and walked toward both leather boxes. He said, “I originally intended to completely level the Dragon God Clan but since you greeted death in such a manly way, I will allow your father and your relatives to live!”

Any man who showed no fear upon death was something jackie could respect regardless of any evil deeds that man had done. When he approached the leather boxes, jackie took out his cell phone and gave Lana a call. After leaving behind a message, he returned to the city with those boxes.

…

“You came back with the money?” When he just entered the courtyard, Fiona ran up to him excitedly.

When she noticed both leather boxes in jackie’s hands, Fiona was ecstatic as she said, “Awesome! It seems like my money has returned!”

After she was done speaking, she snatched the boxes over, placed them on the floor, and opened them to take a look.

“Holy sh*t, it’s really back. My money, oh my money!” Fiona was extremely emotional as she gave both stacks of money a kiss each.

“Oh mother-in-law, money is really dirty and it’s riddled with germs!” jackie let out a bitter chuckle as he reminded.

Fiona looked up and rolled her eyes at jackie before saying, “I don’t care if it’s riddled with germs or not even if it’s poisoned and as long as I’m poisoned to death by money, I’d be completely willing!”

jackie felt awkward after hearing that as he said, “You should hurry up and keep them away just to make sure no one else who walks by notices it. Money shouldn’t be exposed out in the public, do you understand?”

Chapter 291 “Right, right, right. You have a point!” Fiona frantically kept her money away and closed the box before saying, “You finally did something useful. You only used a day or two to retrieve the money I lost, it seems that you’re not so useless after all!”

“Not only is he useful, I think I’m starting to like him!” Andrew chuckled and hopped around twice before doing a few squats. He then said with a smile, “Look, Fiona, it’s all fine now and I’m like a normal person now. I can now jog with this leg!”

“It’s actually better now!” Fiona was also surprised since jackie claimed he could heal it in a week’s time and she did not expect it would actually heal. It was a miracle.

However, she soon thought about something as her expression dimmed. She said, “What’s there to be happy about? Your legs were normal in the first place anyway. It was all thanks to him that your leg

ended up like that and now you’re actually happy? Hmph, it’s merciful enough to not have him repay the losses!”

“You’re right, Ma, this was my fault and I should reimburse the losses. Tell me, how much do you need?” jackie cracked a bitter laugh and did not take any of those remarks personally. That was because it was true that Andrew’s leg ended up like that due to him. If he did not sleep with Selena on their wedding night, their entire family would not have suffered for five whole years. Hence, it was well within reason for Fiona to blame him.

“Forget it then. Just focus on getting the 20 million prize money ready for the old master’s birthday. Don’t even think about us acknowledging you and even touching our Selena without the 20 million dollars!” Fiona exclaimed immediately. The more she thought about the horrible ordeal from back then, the more infuriated she became. She was starting to suspect if she had owed him in her past life to have caused a chain reaction for their family’s suffering.

“Don’t worry, don’t you worry. Not a penny less!” jackie nodded.

“ jackie, a week has passed but you’ve only worked for over twenty days. Unless the Drake family agreed to give you an advance payment for your 20 million dollars wage, how else would you be able to fork out that much money?” Andrew’s attitude toward jackie had obviously changed drastically. At the very least from his observation in recent days, jackie was a great husband and an amazing father!

Moreover, not only was jackie skilled in combat, his medical skills were unparalleled. He never expected that jackie would be able to heal his leg when the specialists were unable to. So much so, he was not even required to take any medication. All he needed to do was to be massaged by jackie every morning while getting acupuncture with a few silver needles and his leg got progressively better. This was a miracle to him.

“Don’t worry, I will get the money for my father-in-law!” jackie laughed and said, “Miss Tanya is quite close to me and I believe if I tell her about it, she would have no problem giving me a two to three

months advanced payment of my monthly wage!”

Andrew let out a sigh of relief after hearing it. “You can relax now. If he could fork out that much money, our daughter will never leave him then!”

“Young Master Michael mentioned that he’s willing to fork out 50 million dollars and can hold a spectacular wedding even! Hmph, I’m not actually hoping for him to be able to fork out this much cash!” Fiona seemed slightly unhappy.

Chapter 292 “Wedding?” jackie was stunned before saying with a smile, “I also owe Selena a wedding but don’t worry, after the old master’s birthday, I will give her a wedding of a lifetime!”

“You?” Fiona scanned jackie before speaking in a very disdainful tone, “You? You alone want to throw a wedding of a lifetime? Who would believe that? I think it’s more like holding a very embarrassing wedding rather than that!”

“don’t boast so blindly. How can such little money be enough for a wedding of a lifetime? You’d be impressive enough if you can actually give the old master a gift that costs more than 10 million and make our family proud!” Andrew chuckled. Even though the wedding back then was held in a very lackluster manner; it was done similarly to a gathering meal for the Taylor family which embarrassed Selena into oblivion.

However, that was five years ago and since jackie’s and Selena’s child had already grown up, Andrew never took it personally. Now that both jackie’s and Selena’s monthly wages were not low and as long as they worked well, their life would naturally be much better than how they were back then.

“Don’t you worry, Father-in-law, I owe this to Selena so naturally, I will give her a wonderful wedding!” jackie smiled calmly then said, “That’s right, let’s talk about this when the time comes. I’m not in a hurry to let her know yet, so I’ll surprise her in the future then!”

“if you can keep to your words and hold a wedding of a lifetime to make it up to our Selena, I will not blame you for the five years of our suffering!” Fiona chuckled while crossing her arms in front of her chest. She was obviously not buying what jackie said.

Not to mention, jackie even proclaimed he would prepare a gift that would cost over 10 million dollars for the old master. A gift like that was extremely rare. It was uncertain just what kind of a gift jackie would prepare then.

“Oh right, what should we do about Xena? It was her conspiring with the motor robbers to snatch away that 3.8 million of yours! When I went over, I saw her with the gang of motor robbers too!” jackie said after some thought.

After Fiona heard it, she furiously clenched her fists and said, “I’d rather you not bring up Xena. Bringing her up infuriates me. Our Ben loves her so much and yet she conspired with the motor robbers to snatch money that belongs to our family? Truly infuriating. I’ll have Ben break up with her when they come back. I refuse to believe that my handsome son couldn’t get a girlfriend!”

After jackie heard her, he cracked a bitter smile and said, “Xena noticed me spotting her, and I’m afraid she might not have the courage to come back home now. Sigh, it’s getting late now, I haven’t gone to the Drake family home yet, I should get going now!” After jackie was done speaking, he turned around and left swiftly.

After jackie left, Andrew told Fiona, “Honey, look, my leg has fully recovered. It’s quite flexible too!”

As Andrew spoke, he hopped around a couple of times and said, “I feel like jackie isn’t too bad. His monthly wage is 20 million and that means, he will have 200 million a year. Moreover, he’s nice to Selena and Kylie. In a year or two of them working there, we will have enough money and not to mention, he’s quite medically skilled too!”

Chapter 293 Fiona’s expression turned bitter as she said, “Young Master Michael had mentioned that 50 million is no problem to him and will hold a grand wedding for Selena. He has real money. jackie, on the other hand, he’s poor and yet he likes to boast. You can’t believe anything he says though!”

“However, his wages happen to be real. It was personally promised by Miss Tanya herself. That can’t be fake, right? Look at my leg, it’s actually recovered now, right? I feel like this is a miracle! Even the specialists couldn’t do a thing about it and yet he’s able to heal it!” Andrew was still speaking up for jackie.

“before he received his wages, that money is still not his. Besides, jackie is too used to being on the battlefield and he’s a magnet for trouble so he’s nothing more than a mindless brute. It’s unsure when he’ll cross someone he shouldn’t again and we’ll have to suffer on his behalf. As for your leg, since jackie had spent so much time on the battlefield, obviously he would know how to heal blunt force-related injuries, isn’t that normal? Perhaps he might not even know how to treat a simple common cold!”

Fiona rolled her eyes at Andrew, grabbed those two leather boxes, and walked inside. She said, “We can’t lose these boxes of money. It’s not easy to get them back. Let’s save this money in a different bank tomorrow morning, don’t get spotted by anyone else again!”

The corner of Andrew’s mouth twitched as he watched Fiona leaving. Was his leg’s injury only a minor sprain?

…

At this moment within the hideout of the Dragon God Clan. It was housed within a luxurious mansion. A middle-aged man was sitting there with a few members of the Howard family around him.

“What’s the matter, Father? I heard you’ve dispatched all five of the Five Tigers of our clan. Did something major happen?” A young lady was staring at her father, the legendary Mr. Howard as she

asked that question.

“Your brother had an incident. He’s fine, it’s just that he enjoys snatching stuff from people with his motor robbers. He didn’t expect to run into someone exceptionally powerful this time which murdered everyone that was with him. He even called us to have us return the 3.8 million dollars he previously snatched!”

“So, I dispatched all Five Tigers!” The middle-aged man’s expression seemed cold. He looked at the time and said, “The only thing is, based on their skills and how they usually operate, they should be back by now, right?”

“Boss, are all Five Tigers really necessary just to take care of one man? Just randomly pick someone who is quite skilled from our Dragon God Clan. Wouldn’t that do it?” An old man casually said, “It seems someone actually has a deathwish to be bold enough to cross our Dragon God Clan!”

“Finn, a few days ago, we’ve lost more than two hundred men and you were investigating it, so have you found out anything? Now, we can’t be too careless regardless of anything. If someone can kill Scar, they might actually be able to murder the remaining Five Tigers, do you understand?”

Mr. Howard had a serious look on his face. After some thought, he spoke again, “Back then, Eastfield was still quite peaceful. However, the current Eastfield is different. Plenty of veterans have returned and amongst these veterans, there were King of Wars and marshals. Although they act alone, each of them are extremely powerful people. Just previously, there’s a King of War named Xerxes, didn’t he level the entire Xavier family, a second-class aristocratic family even, on a whim?”

As he spoke, Mr. Howard continued, “So, everyone should be a little more careful in doing things next time. Those King of Wars were quite low profile so even if we run into them, we wouldn’t know. Especially when they are all retired from battle, their attacks would be extremely ruthless, not to mention, they’re quite keen on being the hero. Hence, we should act more carefully!”

After Finn heard that, he nodded and said, “Well said, just like the last time when we lost more than two hundred men, plenty of people in Eastfield were all calling the murderers of our men a hero!”

“Don’t you worry, Father, he that dares to assault brother will never have the chance to live to see tomorrow. All Five Tigers had been dispatched over and it’s not like he can fly away, right?” The young lady laughed and spoke confidently.

Chapter 294 However at this very moment, a beautiful woman dressed in a sexy split-end gown while wearing a facemask arrived at the main entrance of the mansion.

Not long after, the man stationed at the entrance rushed in with a swollen and beaten face.

“Boss, boss, not good. A woman in a facemask said she wanted to see you!” The man said after rushing in while lowering his head.

“What happened to your face?” An elderly man asked immediately. This happened to be the residence of the boss of the Dragon God Clan and some elders, could anyone be here to seek trouble?

The man raised his head and said, “The body of this lady is incredible and even more so, she’s sexy too. So, a few of our guards wanted to rip her facemask off to take a look. Unexpectedly, however, this woman is insanely powerful. She defeated us without any effort. She even mentioned if she hadn’t seen you in three minutes, she would destroy our Dragon God Clan!”

“How bold of her!” That elderly man slammed the table after being infuriated. He then stood up immediately with an incredibly bitter look on his face and said, “This happens to be the Dragon God Clan and yet she boasts about destroying it? Who does she think she is?”

“A woman acting so arrogantly?” Mr. Howard’s expression dimmed as he said, “Let her come in then we’ll talk!”

Soon, Lana, who was wearing a facemask due to her fear of being recognized by people, arrived at the mansion’s lobby.

A hundred to two hundred people surrounded her with a serious look on as they stared at her.

Since this woman could so easily defeat more than ten people outside, earlier. Would a woman like this be normal? The most important thing was, none of the Five Tigers were currently present in their headquarters. This could mean trouble for them.

“Who are you? What do you want?” Mr. Howard asked with a frown.

“This lady and her body, why does she look so familiar?” After one of the men gave it some thought, he suddenly seemed to have recalled something as he exclaimed, “I remember, she’s the lady that spent 500 million to buy that luminous pearl at the auction!”

The Dragon God Clan was present at the auction back then. However, they never took part in it and were merely there to spectate. Although there were some wealthy merchants in the Dragon God Clan but they were involved in some underground business.

“You’re that mysterious lady?” Mr. Howard frowned and said, “What are you doing here? We have no business with each other!”

Lana looked at him and said, “Take your men and leave Eastfield. You are given a chance to live!”

Everyone gasped after hearing that. They did not expect that the first thing this woman would say could be something so arrogant by telling them to leave Eastfield!

“Who the hell are you? Do you have a deathwish for telling us to leave Eastfield?”

“You’re not too bad looking. Lady, are you looking for a boy toy, what do you think of me?” A bearded man had long since been attracted to Lana’s body as he could not hold back his teases.

Lana squinted her eyes then suddenly took a step forward and punched directly at the man’s chest. The man immediately flew off from the impact while coughing up blood. He died instantly.

Lana stared at the man coldly before taking her face mask off as she said, “I am only a messenger. Those Five Tigers of yours are already dead now. Oh, that’s right Mr. Howard, your son is also dead. You guys can stop waiting now. Telling you to leave is giving you guys a chance to live or else, everyone in the Dragon God Clan will die!”

Mr. Howard’s face turned inhumanly pale after hearing what she said as he took a few steps back from feeling completely terrified. He said, “No! Impossible! How is it possible for the Five Tigers to die? My son, were they unable to save him?”

Chapter 295 “Boss, Mr. Howard, look carefully. Who, who is that?” An elderly man finally recognized Lana. He was so startled by it, even his voice sounded shaky.

The most terrifying part of all was that Lana was merely a messenger. Who exactly could possibly make a God of War send a message on their behalf?

“God-Goddess of War, Lana!” After Mr. Howard took a careful look at the lady, he gasped.

When this majestic Goddess of War arrived at Eastfield, she would have the power to rule over life and death. It was unsure just how many powerhouses wanted to butter up to her. However, he never expected the Goddess of War would arrive at their Dragon God Clan. Based on reasoning, the arrival of the Goddess of War at their Dragon God Clan should be a good thing. Ironically, however, she turned out to be the bringer of their nightmares. He did not hesitate the slightest bit since these were the Goddess of War’s own words. Besides, the Goddess of War did not have that much time to make her way over just to provoke him.

Moreover, if their Five Tigers were actually dead, they would really have to leave Eastfield as soon as possible without the need of the Goddess of War to inform them. Or else, their enemies would no doubt show up soon. Without the protection of the Five Tigers, it would be open season for their Dragon God Clan.

“It’s, it’s really the Goddess of War!”

“Yeah, the Goddess of War made her way here personally and had us leave as soon as possible!”

“Good lord, who exactly did the young master cross? Since the Five Tigers were all murdered. Fortunately, that person is merciful enough to let us live!”

Everyone was completely terrified as they were all discussing it.

“Strange, since that person was so insanely terrifying, why would that person be willing to let us live? The motor robbers, my son, and even the Five Tigers were all killed, logically that person had no reason to let us go!”

Although this was a hard truth to accept, for the sake of the Howard family, Mr. Howard had no choice but to admit defeat. He knew that his son had crossed someone that was insanely powerful this time.

“He wanted me to tell you that because prior to your son’s death, he stood tall like a man and did not beg for mercy! Hence, he decided to let go of the remaining members of the Dragon God Clan! Leave now, the sooner the better or else, after people from other clans know that the Five Tigers are dead, you guys will have no way of escaping with anything!”

Lana swiftly put on her face mask then strode out of there.

Those people who surrounded her earlier opened up a path for her to leave.

“Hurry up! Pack your things and leave Eastfield as soon as possible. From this day on, our Dragon God Clan will be non-existent in Eastfield! Anyone unwilling to leave, well the Dragon God Clan has been disbanded! You guys can go anywhere you please. Anyone that wishes to come with me, you guys can leave with me!” Mr. Howard left a decisive order.

The corners of his eyes turned red at this moment. However, as a man, even if it was excruciatingly painful, he held back his tears.

“Dad, brother, he…” His only daughter had already dissolved into a puddle of tears as she sobbed.

“Sigh, we have no choice. Truly, we can’t afford to cross him. No! we can’t afford to at all! Letting us live and escape while intentionally bringing us a message is merciful enough!” Mr. Howard sighed and he felt in that instant, he had aged quite a lot.

“Young master is strong, he died like a man. Our lives are saved by him!” An elder on the other hand lamented, “The only thing is, who exactly could make a Goddess of War be his messenger. This is truly terrifying!”

“I didn’t expect our Eastfield would have such truly terrifying hidden forces!”

Chapter 296 “Good lord, major things had happened! The Dragon God Clan has left Eastfield!”

The incident at the Dragon God Clan was gradually being exposed at four in the afternoon. The corpses of the Five Tigers of the Dragon God Clan and Mr. Howard’s son had soon been found. This terrified some of the powerhouses in Eastfield. That was because everyone was aware that the total number of members in the Dragon God Clan was over a few thousand people. However, it seemed even a powerhouse like that could collapse.

Of course, there were plenty of people who were happy since the Dragon God Clan was so used to committing heinous acts of crime so arrogantly and their acts had long since angered, everyone. As an example, when they started a company, it would be related to the loan shark. This had broken countless families and destroyed countless homes for people. It was truly depressing. Now that the Dragon God Clan was gone, everyone would naturally feel happy.

The remaining clans, on the other hand, they were all on edge. Aside from being completely shocked by it, they were also very terrified by such news. Of course, aside from the dark forces, there were also major families who were operating legally. They were all feeling the tension. They were all thinking who exactly was powerful enough to murder the Five Tigers of the Dragon God Clan.

“Hey, who do you think is powerful enough to completely obliterate the Dragon God Clan?! Moreover, based on an eyewitness of the scene, the attacker’s speed had to be insanely fast so it might have only been done by one or two people. That was no group fight.” Miss Tanya was just about to go shopping and since jackie had just arrived, she brought him along.

Whenever she headed out previously, for her safety’s sake, she preferred to bring along a few bodyguards. However, since jackie’s abilities were so powerful, she felt that bringing only him along would be enough.

“How should I know? Those folks in the Dragon God Clan are not the kindest of folks and they’d made a lot of enemies so being retaliated by someone is well within the realms of expectations!” jackie cracked a calm smile, took out a cigarette, and started smoking slowly.

Miss Tanya stared at jackie before curiously asking, “That’s odd. Your wages are not low anymore and there’s no reason for you to save up so meagerly, right? Why are you still smoking these White-Sand cigarettes? You should be smoking Oriental cigarettes though!”

After jackie heard that, he cracked a bitter chuckle as he got lost in a memory. He said, “You have no idea! This cigarette brand has become a part of my life’s memories!”

“Can, can you share?” Miss Tanya took a glance at jackie. This was her first time to see jackie in such a melancholy mood. It seemed that these White-Sand Cigarettes had quite the backstory.

jackie took a deep puff before saying, “When I first set foot on the battlefield back then, I was really terrified. Back then, I was a non-smoker. Getting a cigarette on the battlefield was a challenge on its own! I have a comrade who absolutely loved smoking and he had also killed a lot of our enemies. He became a hero and had also once saved my life!” As he spoke, jackie lamented, “Unfortunately, on one occasion, he…stayed behind on the battlefield because he wanted to look for his favorite White-Sand cigarettes! As a result, I cradled him in a puddle of blood and he shoved the cigarettes into my hands and told me with a smile. He hoped that I would finish smoking that entire pack of cigarettes or else, his search would be for nothing!”

jackie’s eyes gradually turned red as he spoke. He said, “He is a lot older than us and has saved countless soldier’s lives. Due to his age and since his last name being Brothers, we all called him Bro. Bro was powerful and we called him the God of Blades since his specialty was the saber. He could kill anyone with a single slash and countless have perished under his blade. I didn’t expect it, all for a pack of cigarettes…”

As Miss Tanya looked at jackie’s eyes that were gradually turning red, plenty of thoughts raced in her mind. She could feel the pain jackie felt at that moment. That was why jackie refused to change his cigarette brand because he had grown so used to it. Perhaps when he smoked these cigarettes, he could feel Bro by his side.

Chapter 297 The image of his savior lying in his arms manifested in Miss Tanya’s mind.

While she was in a trance, she did not realize a few Audis in front of her had suddenly stopped. Miss Tanya was so startled, she frantically stepped on the brakes. However, she still rear-ended one of the Audis.

“Miss Tanya, were you actually distracted from listening to my story?” jackie chuckled bitterly as he looked at the startled Miss Tanya beside him.

“It’s your fault for being so emotional in your story. I got distracted when I thought about your Comrade Bro!” Miss Tanya rolled her eyes at jackie before getting out of the car fuming.

jackie looked at the car plate of the car in front of them. It read B77777. It seemed the owner of this car was not as simple as they thought! Since Miss Tanya had only brought him along as her bodyguard, for Miss Tanya’s safety, jackie followed behind.

The owner of the car in front of them immediately got out of his car.

“How’d you learn to drive, woman? Godd*mmit, it’s a woman, can’t you watch the road?” After that man got out of the car, he started yelling at them.

A lot of people got out of the Audis in front of him. There were approximately more than ten people in total. All of them were wearing a white shirt, black jeans, and brightly shone leather shoes. All of them looked fresh and they were all bodyguards.

A different man who was wearing a pair of shades and a shirt with flower designs on it approached them. He said, “Pfft, what a beauty! She’s driving a Ferrari. Not bad, daughter of a wealthy man, right?”

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention earlier, also the car in front of me braked too early so…” Since it was her fault for causing the fender-bender and although it was not serious, Miss Tanya was quite sincere as she immediately apologized to him.

Of course, that person was not entirely free from blame because jackie noticed earlier that he braked immediately after switching lanes. This made him skeptical if that person was intentionally messing with Miss Tanya after noticing how beautiful Miss Tanya was. Moreover, that man with the flower shirt was the last person to get out of the car.

“this is a fender-bender you know? So, you think the law doesn’t apply to you just because you drive a Ferrari? I’m sorry but our family is extremely rich and a car like this, we have a few of them at home!” That man in a flower shirt scanned Miss Tanya before teasingly said, “You’re not that old, and your body’s not bad. So, how do you plan on paying for the damages?”

“Your car will be quite expensive to fix but in order to show my sincere apologies, I will transfer a hundred thousand dollars to you. So, what do you think?” After some thought, Miss Tanya spoke.

“A hundred thousand dollars? Are you donating to a beggar?” That man actually started laughing unexpectedly as he said that.

Chapter 298 Miss Tanya was speechless. This situation was not serious at all, and 100 thousand dollars should be enough. She never expected the man to reply the way he did.

Still, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger before saying, “500 thousand should be enough, yes? This is nothing more than an R8. Don’t take me for a fool who knows nothing about cars.”

The man merely chuckled. “You’re quite interesting, woman. You actually know cars! It seems you’re much better than a lot of the other female drivers.”

The man started cackling out loud before continuing, “So you think paying for the damages of my car will be alright for you? You rear-ended my car and startled me. You have to pay for the mental damage I sustained, don’t you know? Oh, that’s right, the work incapacitation fees as well. My time is incredibly precious, it’s worth millions!”

Those bodyguards started laughing after hearing that.

“So, girl, do you think 500 thousand is enough?” The man took a step closer while laughing sinisterly.

“A million, nothing more than that. Give me your account number and I’ll transfer it to you.” Though seething with anger, Miss Tanya had no intention of arguing with these people. She was seriously suspecting if these people were professional con-artists.

“A million?” She did not expect that the man would laugh again. “How is that enough?” he mocked. “You guys won’t be leaving until you give me 100 million!”

Miss Tanya was nervous as she heard that. This was not a con; it was a blatant scam.

“10 billion? You’re scamming people, aren’t you?” jackie could no longer watch. It seemed that man was bullying Miss Tanya with the greater number of men he had with him.This had gotten rather unreasonable.

“What are you talking about? Judging from your looks, you’re quite handsome. You don’t happen to be this lady’s boyfriend now, are you? Why don’t you pay 100 million for her?” The man laughed. He had a smug look on his face and did not seem to be taking jackie seriously.

Miss Tanya felt bashful as she heard that. “No, he’s not my boyfriend,” she frantically explained, “he’s only my bodyguard!”

“Oh, that means you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right? Well, isn’t that something,” he snickered. “Since you don’t have a boyfriend, why don’t you date me then?” The man grinned as he continued to speak to Miss Tanya.

“Do you know who she is? You’re even spouting nonsense about wanting to be her boyfriend.” jackie chuckled as he reminded him. The man was too oblivious to know who Miss Tanya really was.

Of course, it would be quite normal for the man to not know about Miss Tanya as the number plates from these cars showed they were from out of state and not locally from Eastfield. It was unsure if they came over to visit their relatives or for a vacation.

“I don’t care who she is. It has nothing to do with a trashy bodyguard like you, right? Besides, she only came out with a single bodyguard. It seems to me that her family background is quite average, so to speak! Don’t just judge by the expensive cars she’s driving. Average families would only drive these sports cars out to show. Judge for yourself to see who would casually travel with ten to twenty bodyguards, okay? Going out like this exemplifies a true wealthy person’s image!” The man dressed in a flower shirt grew more excited as he spoke to Miss Tanya, “Lady, you won’t be able to afford the 100 million pay, right? If you can’t, we can talk about payment with a different method!”

Miss Tanya gritted her teeth as she was boiling with anger. “Pardon, but I can afford 100 million. However, I won’t spare a single penny on the likes of you!”

Chapter 299 After her burst of anger, Miss Tanya immediately turned around to get into her car. “Let’s go, jackie,” she called out, “let’s not bother with these trash bags. A bunch of scumbags they are! They wanted so much more after we showed them respect!”

Miss Tanya had always done things in a very arrogant way. Since she was the one at fault, she apologized to that person and intended to pay up the losses. She never expected that person to be so unreasonable. She was so infuriated.

“Want to leave? Can’t let you go that easily now, right?” The man chuckled and immediately waved his hand. This signaled all of his underlings to rush over and immediately surrounded both jackie and Miss Tanya.

“What exactly do you want? You’d be dreaming if I’d ever become your girlfriend, do you understand? Day-dream. It’ll never happen in this lifetime!” Miss Tanya was fuming. She had never once been bullied even when she was a child.

The man sleazily chuckled. “Let’s make it simple then: let me kiss you once. That should be fine, right? Since you don’t have a boyfriend and that might be your first kiss, your kiss can be a way of repaying for

the damages! Think about it; your single kiss is worth 100 million dollars. Aren’t you a little excited about that?” That man was chuckling sinisterly and did not seem to take Miss Tanya seriously.

“Miss Tanya, seems to me that these people want to do this the hard way!” jackie noticed the man’s arrogance. The jerk had the gall to force a kiss on Miss Tanya. He massaged his fists as he spoke with a smile.

“Alright, beat them up good for me! Have them all lie flat on the ground!” Tanya was breathing heavily from being so agitated. Although they had the numbers, she was confident in jackie’s skills. He should be able to pull it off.

Besides, if Harvey was here, he would have no problem taking care of ten to twenty people, not to mention that jackie was a lot stronger than Harvey.

“You think my bodyguards are all pushovers? You’re telling me more than 10 men can’t defeat one person?” the man spoke mockingly. “Oh, I understand now. Are you trying to tell me that your family is also very wealthy and has hired a lot of bodyguards and you think by bringing along one or two powerful ones would be enough? Lady, I know there are plenty of wealthy people, or should I say, wealthy merchants who’d also hire bodyguards if their families are wealthy too! However, the wages to hire bodyguards aren’t cheap. Therefore, in order to save money, they wouldn’t hire too many bodyguards! I think that’s your situation, right?” The man cackled out loud as though he had figured out everything.

He then waved his hand and said, “Capture that woman for me. I want to kiss her to my heart’s content as reimbursement for the damages on my car!”

In just a few flashy moments, jackie got some of his bodyguards lying on the ground as they cried out in agony.

“You bunch of useless trash bags. How can you guys not even withstand a single punch?” That man in a flower shirt was incredibly furious as he noticed his men on the ground.

As he spoke, another group of people began to drop like flies, hurt to the point they could not even fight. They were all knocked out by jackie and could not even help themselves up.

“Good…good lord!” That man in the flower shirt was incredibly terrified as he immediately dashed back to his car and swiftly drove off. He was not even concerned with the conditions of his underlings.

Chapter 300 “That coward sure can run!” jackie let out a bitter chuckle as he stared at the leaving car.

“You, sir, are insane! If Harvey was in your position, he wouldn’t be able to solve the whole ordeal as quickly as you even if he’s skilled in combat!” After Tanya vented her pent-up frustrations, she instantly felt a lot better.

jackie chuckled heartily. “Can I not be insane for getting paid so much?” He then opened her car door and said, “Come, Miss Tanya, let’s continue shopping. Don’t be affected by a bunch of trash bags!”

Both of them left soon after and went shopping.

That young master dressed in a flower shirt soon made his way over to Ken’s house.

“You have to help me, cousin!” The man with the flower shirt cried and complained the moment he noticed Ken. “Look, I’m here for a fun vacation in your Eastfield, but I didn’t expect to be bullied before I even step foot in your house!” he grumbled.

Ken was already frustrated as he thought of ways he could get Selena. Now that he noticed Flynn’s presence here, he was quite impatient as he spoke, “What’s the matter? Who dares to bully you anyway? Weren’t you nicknamed Tiny Tyrant in your city? Your Bane family is still a second-class aristocratic family in Lone City, so how can someone be bold enough to bully you?”

Lone City was a huge city much larger than Eastfield. There were also more powerhouses in Lone City as compared to Eastfield. The first-class aristocratic families in Lone City had more power and were

significantly stronger than the ones here.

Of course, the second-class aristocratic families in Lone City were only a tiny bit more powerful than the ones here. However, they were still incomparable to a first-class aristocratic family local to Eastfield.

“Some blind lady rear-ended my car. Not only did she refuse to repay the damages, but she even had her bodyguard hit me! Say, isn’t this infuriating or what? Thankfully this isn’t Lone City, or I’d have her pay up nonetheless!” Relaying his side of the story, he then whined, “Cousin, I’m here to have fun with you but I had an incident in your city, so you have to stand up for me!”

“So she knows to bring her bodyguard along and you don’t? No way, right? I remembered you enjoy going out with your bodyguard, right? Why didn’t you go out with yours today?” Ken felt puzzled as he frowned.

“I did; brought more than ten even. Who knew those useless trash bags I brought can’t even defeat one guy! It seems that her bodyguard should be the more powerful one among the bodyguards!” After Young Master Flynn finished speaking, he looked at the front door and said, “Look, those bodyguards of mine haven’t even arrived here yet. They can’t even stand back up after a punch. Truly humiliating.”

Young Master Flynn was clueless to how bad the injuries were for his bodyguards. They were all currently hospitalized and it would take them a month or two to recover.

“She wouldn’t be that unreasonable, right? She rear-ended you and was able to afford a bodyguard, so it would be unlikely that she can’t afford to pay you back, right? Also, your car isn’t too expensive today, right?”

Ken was no fool and he was aware of what kind of a person his cousin was. He said, “Speak now: what exactly happened? You wouldn’t be drooling over that person’s looks to have caused the current situation you’re in now… Right?”

Young Master Flynn chuckled bashfully and said, “Cousin, let me tell you just how amazing this woman looked. Moreover, there’s this elegance from her body and she doesn’t seem too old. As for her body, though… Oh boy, what a body. A simple twitch from her was exceedingly charming and adorable.”

As he spoke, Young Master Flynn had almost ran out of drool to spill as he continued, “The truth is that I was just toying with her and told her to be my girlfriend, but not only did she blatantly rejected me, but she even told me that I’m daydreaming!”
