No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 601 – 650

Chapter 601 “Who dares lay a hand upon our young master? Does he have a death wish?”

It was another middle-aged man who spoke. His body was jacked with muscles, and he looked very sturdy from a glance.

“I know. He’s got a death wish! F*ck. There’s no need to be afraid of some so-called powerhouse from Eastfield!”

Another elder also spoke up, extremely furious, “We need to investigate the issue and find the culprit behind our young master’s death. We must kill him!”

Drag shook his head. “I think we should all just leave under the cover of the night. It’s not safe for us here any longer!”

“Why? Master, we’ve got plenty of villas and factories here, and our company’s here, too. Are you saying that you don’t want them any longer?”

One of the men wore a perplexed expression, unable to comprehend why his master would make such a decision.

“Quil was likely to have been with Marshal Zain. If Quil’s dead, and so are his bodyguards, Marshal Zain would’ve called me!”

Drag released a sigh. “But the Marshal hasn’t called, which means that he’s probably dead, too. We’ve provoked someone who shouldn’t have been provoked now. Eastfield is small, but don’t forget that plenty of war veterans have returned to the city, and there are plenty of Majors and Kings of War there. They even have a Goddess of War among them!”

“So, what you’re trying to say is that we’ve probably provoked a powerful veteran, sir? And it’s highly likely that they’re a King or God of War?”

One of the elders surmised after he thought about the matter in silence.

Drag nodded his head. “Quil had said that jackie was the one who leaked the secret to the Gods of War, and they had only killed my brother, Magnus, in a fit of rage. I suspect that they caused some trouble for jackie which then happened to attract the attention of the Gods of War. If that were the case, it’d been extremely unfortunate!”

At this moment, a frightening explosion resounded from outside. The terrifying cacophony of a fight immediately followed.

A bodyguard of the Xenos family immediately rushed in. “Bad news, sir. Someone’s ambushing our place. He’s in the mood for slaughter—and he’s very strong. I think he’s the famous King of War, Skylar Celestino!”

Drag instantly plopped onto his seat when he heard that, fearful. “We’re screwed. We’re completely, absolutely, screwed. Skylar is an eight-star King of War, an experienced fighter. No one in Sky City can hope to match his fighting prowess—what more someone from the Xenos family!”

“Ah. We’re too late. We probably would’ve survived if we’d left just a little earlier!”

An elder sighed.

It was too late now. The King of War was already there, ready for blood.

Three resounding crashes echoed consecutively, and three of the Xenos family’s fighters were thrown into the room. They lay on the ground, breathless.

“My apologies for the intrusion, but your young master offended someone who even I dare not offend. All the Xenos family can do now is to blame their unlucky stars!”

Skylar’s eyes were icy cold. He stood there, an immovable mountain of pure strength.

Chapter 602 It did not even take an hour for a single man to obliterate the powerful Xenos family of Sky City.

The powerhouses in Sky City were all extremely shocked when they learned about what had happened. This was the strength of a King of War—the terror of an eight-star King of War. Such power was far beyond the likes of normal powerhouses.

As to how the Xenos family provoked such a King of War, no one had the answer. They only knew that the young master of the Xenos family had stirred some trouble in Eastfield, thus, provoking this frightening enemy.

…

“Dad, Mom, we haven’t gone for a picnic in such a long time. Why don’t we take jackie, Selena, and Kylie to the countryside for a picnic tomorrow? How about that?”

Over the dining table, Xena suggested after she thought about it.

“Sure. I happen to be free tomorrow, and it’s been a long time since I’ve gone out with Kylie. Since tomorrow’s a Saturday, let’s go!” Selena said, smiling when she heard about the idea.

“Alright. Now that we’re rich, we can just drive away whenever we want to relax, and buy some stuff for a riverside barbecue!”

Ben chuckled. He could not help himself from shooting a glance at Xena beside him. “Who knew you’d learn to enjoy life more and more!”

“Why not? I was thinking we should all go out and have fun together!” Xena smiled.

When Xena and Selena had returned earlier, they did not catch sight of the ten beautiful bodyguards.

Who knew that at this moment, all ten bodyguards were wearing white sneakers and denim shorts, revealing their long, sexy legs. They wore loose-fitting T-shirts, giving off a seductive yet relaxed aura.

“Master, take a look. How are the working clothes we chose?”

The ten beauties filed into a single line after they came in. Elaine stepped forward and posed the question to jackie, grinning.

The beauties were all garbed in such uniformed dressing—it had to be said that it looked very easy on the eyes. Besides, each of them was full of life and vibrancy from a glance.

“You–you look great!”

Ben frowned after he observing them. “These are the bodyguards of the Taylor family? These are our bodyguards? Why didn’t I see them in the afternoon?”

One of the bodyguards immediately stepped forward. “Are you Young Master Ben? We rested for a while in the afternoon before we went to get some clothes,” she explained. “We’ve just arrived home, so we decided to try on our clothes for everyone to see. Are you satisfied with this?”

“Young Master Ben?”

Elation sparked in Ben’s heart when he heard that. That was right. He was a Taylor as well, and he was a young master of the family. He should have been living the life of an affluent young master from the start.

Unfortunately, five years ago, he had been kicked out of the Taylor family when he was still young because of the affair between his sister and jackie. It made him a laughingstock—trash of society who

everyone sneered and looked down upon—a useless scum who only knew how to play video games.

When he was younger, the children of other affluent families who had been his playmates had all abandoned him eventually.

Being addressed so respectfully again caused a swirl of emotions to stir within his heart.

That was right. He was Young Master Ben from the very start. Finally, he was getting the respect he deserved!

“What’s wrong, Young Master Ben? What happened?” The bodyguard asked, puzzled.

Chapter 603 “It’s nothing!” Ben smiled awkwardly and continued eating.

“You look good!” jackie also smiled. “But those words on your chests, ‘the Bodyguards of the Taylor Family’, that’s too attention-grabbing. It’s like you’re trying to tell everyone that the Taylor family has bodyguards!”

“Does it matter? We’re rich now. Isn’t it normal to hire bodyguards?”

Fiona grinned. “We’ll be going to the countryside for a picnic tomorrow, but since jackie is coming with us, you all won’t have to come along. You’ll only have to follow us if Xena and I go out shopping in the afternoon! Just two of you will do. It’ll be too striking if too many of you were to come!”

“Yes, ma’am. Then we’ll take our leave and patrol the area!”

Elaine smiled and brought her bodyguards out.

“Yay! We’re going out tomorrow!” Kylie was extremely elated, her gaze filled with anticipation.

After dinner, Kylie returned to her room to rest.

Meanwhile, jackie and Selena took a shower and laid on their bed.

“We can’t let Kylie know what happened this morning. She’d be worried!” Selena spoke after thinking about it.

jackie nodded. “Agreed. I never thought Quil would be so bold. Never mind that he lashed out against me, he even hired people to kidnap you and Xena—and even Mother!”

A frown formed between Selena’s brows. “Now, Quil is dead. I did some digging of my own and found out that there are two Xenos families in Sky City, and they’re both pretty strong. We don’t know which family he belongs to, but it doesn’t matter. They’ll probably come to you for revenge once they find out that you killed Quil!”

After she said that, Selena thought about it for a while before she added, “Dear, did you hire so many bodyguards because you were worried about this?”

jackie looked at her picture-perfect face before him. “I hired them because I’m worried about you and your mother’s safety the next time you go out. Besides, we’re rich now. It’s normal to hire bodyguards!”

Here, he paused for a bit before continuing nonchalantly, “As for the Xenos family, don’t worry about that. It won’t be easy for them to find out the truth since I took no prisoners. Besides, there’s always a solution to a problem. If we really can’t avoid conflict, I’m pretty good friends with the Goddess of War—we can go to her for help!”

Selena’s anxiety finally eased after she heard what her husband said. She bobbed her head. “By the way, Xena’s really weird. She’s never initiated a family outing before, and even if she did, it’d usually just be her and Ben. Why would she think of including us in her plans this time?”

jackie’s brows furrowed. “You also thought it was strange, dear? I thought so, too. Seems like Xena did a one-eighty flip. Perhaps she’s in a good mood today because I gave her one million dollars?”

Selena’s expression darkened when she heard that. “She’s definitely seeing a man on the side while using my brother as a cover,” she said, vexed. “Didn’t we say that we’d find that man and break my brother’s heart once we had evidence? Why did you go and give her money instead?”

After she said that, she rolled her eyes at jackie. “Don’t tell me that you gave her money because she’s good-looking?”

“Her?”

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Not only is she unattractive compared to you, but she’s also unattractive even compared to Sharon. Why would I give her money because she’s good-looking? It’s like this…”

Selena’s anger only abated after she listened to jackie’s explanation. “So you’re trying to get her to lower her guard and reveal her true colors later on!”

jackie nodded. “But I still don’t get why she suddenly asked us all to go out!”

Chapter 604 “I know. I really don’t understand. Is it because you saved her and gave her a million dollars, or has she really had a change of heart?” Selena speculated for a moment.

“A change of heart?” jackie flashed a frosty smile. “A leopardess like this can never change her spots. She’s extremely greedy—even greedier than your mother. There’s a possibility that she’s got some devious scheme in the works for tomorrow!”

“No way. We’re going out and she’s scheming?”

Selena smiled and lay down after turning the lights off. “Let’s go to sleep!”

jackie hugged her from behind. “Dear, we were interrupted by Kylie last night, but she’s asleep in her room now. Should we…”

“Seriously? Why are you always thinking of such perverted things, you b*stard!”

Panic suddenly gripped Selena’s chest. There was a hint of coyness in her tone.

jackie was delighted when he sensed that coyness. He decided to continue with the game.

He flipped Selena over and pressed his mouth against hers.

“Mmph!”

Selena was extremely nervous, but she wrapped her slim, tapered hands around jackie anyway. The two became one.

The next morning, Selena stretched her body after she woke up. Her face was slightly flushed, and her skin looked bright and clear.

“You’re beautiful, dear!”

jackie stared at her, goggle-eyed.

“Hmph. You didn’t even ask for my permission last night and you went ahead and bullied me!” Selena harrumphed, but warmth emanated from her belly.

To be fair, she had been dead drunk on her wedding night and could not remember anything that had happened between them.

“your entire face is red, dear. I think I’m falling deeper and deeper in love with you!”

jackie chuckled and hugged Selena who had just gotten off the bed.

“Since when did you learn how to speak such sweet nothings!”

Selena picked her clothes up from the floor and rolled her eyes at him. “Turn around. I’m changing!”

Selena’s cheeks were stained red as she forcibly turned jackie around.

jackie spoke, grinning as his heart was just as full of warmth as before. It seemed that the two were just about to begin a passionate love story.

“Agh, so annoying. Quiet, you!”

Selena was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. After she finished changing, she ran over and gave jackie a vicious pinch on the back.

“I never thought you’d have such wild moments too, dear!”

Yet jackie turned around and embraced her, not the least bit irritated. He planted a kiss on her forehead. “All right. Let’s wash up and head down for breakfast!”

“All right!”

Selena resembled a preening cat in jackie’s embrace, purring with delight. The smile on her face was small and sweet.

Before, she had hoped to experience this feeling—that she was protected. However, she had no choice but to be strong for her family when jackie was not around. She had no choice but to be a strong, independent woman who had to carry the weight of her family on her shoulders.

Chapter 605 Now that jackie was back, she had hope.

“Right. No matter what happens, you have to promise me one thing, dear!” Selena lifted her chin and told jackie.

“What is it? I’ll promise you anything!” jackie smiled.

“We must find the man Xena’s seeing. She’s extremely clever, so we have to be cautious not to alert her!”

Selena thought about it for a while. Then she said, huffing, “Xena has my brother and my parents eating out of her palm now. They won’t believe whatever you and I say. That’s why we have to catch them in the act and let my brother see who she really is. Only then will he completely give up on her!”

“All right, I get it. Don’t worry. I’ll be discreet, and I’ll catch the man she’s seeing!” jackie nodded and promised.

After they washed up, they went into Kylie’s room to wake her up before the three went down for breakfast.

When breakfast was done, everyone got into their cars and drove to a small river in the countryside. They set up their barbecue pit, took out the ingredients, and began grilling the food.

There were usually plenty of people barbecuing around the area since it was specially reserved for barbecues. There were even hired staff to clear the place. However, they would need to pay 20 dollars to use the facilities.

On one side, there was a public toilet, as well as a few pavilions for everyone to rest and play.

Not too far away was a fairly large supermarket. Business was pretty good in a place like this.

“Mmph! It’s so good!” Kylie relished her chicken skewer.

“It’s a little hot today. You and Ben are drenched in sweat, jackie!”

Xena smiled. She had been calling out jackie’s name in an endearing tone since they left the house that morning. It was evident that she was a lot closer to him now.

“Oh, right. Thanks for yesterday, jackie. I would’ve been dead if it weren’t for you. You’re my savior!”

Xena smiled and added, “I’ll go to the supermarket and buy some water for all of you!”

“Don’t sweat it. We’re family. I couldn’t just leave you to die. Consider your debt paid as long as you continue your loving relationship with Ben!” jackie chuckled as he replied.

“Don’t worry. It’ll happen!”

Xena stood up and wheeled around, heading toward the supermarket.

She arrived at the supermarket and bought quite a few bottles of mineral water.

She looked at jackie from a distance. Once she was sure that no one was around, she opened one of the bottles and popped the medicine into it.

Of course, the pill was amazing. It completely dissolved and no one could tell that it was poisoned.

Once the poison was completely invisible to the naked eye, Xena heaved an internal sigh of relief. She capped the bottle and placed it on top of the bag, walking towards jackie and the others.

She was well aware that jackie was intelligent. If she gave him the bottle that had an opened cap, he would definitely be suspicious.

However, she was not an idiot either. She placed the bag on the ground when she arrived at jackie’s side and immediately took the bottle, wrenching its cap off. She thrust it to him. “Here, jackie. Drink some water. Look at you. You’re bathing in sweat!”

“Oh!”

jackie frowned. Xena was being a little too nice to him.

Still, it was just a bottle of water. He was probably reading too much into it. He took the bottle from her. “Thanks!”

Chapter 606 From the side, Ben’s brows furrowed as he was grilling the meat. He could not comprehend the scene before him.

He was Xena’s boyfriend, not jackie. Why was she never this considerate with him?

Furthermore, jackie was his brother-in-law. Xena’s actions twisted his guts.

Xena’s heart leaped in excitement when jackie took the bottle. She immediately whipped out another bottle and opened it for Ben. “Here you go, Ben. You’re drenched in sweat, too!” novelbin

“Okay!”

Ben was delighted. He instantly snatched the bottle and took a big gulp out of it.

“We’ll grab it ourselves!”

Selena forced a polite smile but was not very happy. jackie was her husband. Since when was Xena responsible for caring for him?

Besides, she even opened the cap for him. This was being a little too friendly. Even if she did that, she should have given the bottle to Ben first. Why did she let jackie take it first?

Here, Selena could not help but suspect that she was beginning to like jackie just because he saved her yesterday, and because he had given her a million dollars. Even if she did not like him, it was possible that she was trying to seduce him now that she knew that he was rich, so that she could siphon some money from him.

At this moment, jackie took the bottle and was about to take a sip, but he stopped.

Xena frowned. Was jackie able to detect even a colorless, tasteless poison?

Anxiety clutched at her heart when she considered the possibility. jackie was someone who could kill without blinking. He would probably give her a single punch and send her into oblivion if he found out she tried to poison him.

Her expression darkened. She stared at jackie, trepidation pounding in her chest. She felt as though she could hear her own pulse.

“What’s wrong, jackie? Aren’t you thirsty?” Xena gulped and posed the question tentatively.

jackie craned his head to look at her and flashed a wan smile. “Of course, I’m thirsty!”

After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped the water down, drinking more than half of it in one go. In the end, only a little bit was left. He carelessly flung it into the trash can beside him.

He was well aware that there was something in the water—and he was even more aware of what exactly was in it.

For a brief moment, a murderous intent surged within jackie. He wanted to shred that dmn btch apart. However, he quickly toned down on his anger.

He remembered what Selena had told him that morning, and he remembered his promise to her—that he would not alert Xena to his actions. They needed to weed out the man she was seeing, and they needed to show Ben that Xena was seeing someone else behind his back.

Besides, Ben was here now, and so were Fiona and the others. He would have no way to explain himself if he killed Xena.

Would they even believe him if he told them the water was poisoned? The poison would probably take about a month to manifest, so he would be fine for now, almost as if he had never drunk any poison. Would they believe him? A poison like this was truly dangerous.

More importantly, even if they did believe him, Xena would never admit to it. They would not be able to do anything if she insisted that she did not know anything, and she would probably shift the blame to the bottled water company.

Xena heaved an internal sigh of relief when she saw jackie drinking the water—and plenty of it to boot.

He probably did not know anything. Otherwise, he would not have drank nearly the entire bottle in one go. There would be absolutely no evidence then.

“Come on, let’s eat! The wings are ready!”

Chapter 607 jackie distributed the freshly barbecued wings to everyone. After a while, he stood up. “Take your time eating it. I’m going to the toilet.”

After he ducked into a cubicle, he whipped out a silver needle and pricked his skin on several acupuncture points.

At that moment, he vomited all the poison in his stomach.

jackie flashed a cold smile after he kept the silver needle away. “This poison isn’t a bad idea at all, but it’s shallow of her to try to kill me with this!”

He walked out nonchalantly.

At around one in the afternoon, everyone packed up and drove home.

Xena retreated to her room to rest once they arrived home. Meanwhile, jackie took Selena out for a stroll through the small patch of forest outside their villa.

“What on earth happened to Xena? She hated your guts before, and now she’s treating you like a god. Never mind her buying water for you—she even opened the cap for you!”

Selena was still unhappy when she thought about what had happened earlier.

“Selena, she’s not being nice to me. She poisoned that bottle of water!”

Yet, jackie gave her a frosty smile. “If I hadn’t promised you that I’d remain discreet just so we can weed out the man she’s seeing, I would’ve killed her on the spot!”

“What?!” Selena was shocked. “That–that bottle was poisoned? No way. Didn’t she just buy it?”

jackie smiled again. “She did, but she dropped the poison in before giving it to me. She even pretended to open the cap for me because she was afraid I’d realize the cap had been opened before!”

“My god. No way. I really thought she had turned over a new leaf just because you saved her and that she wanted to establish a good relationship with you. Who knew the witch would dare to poison you!”

Selena was extremely angry. “God. You’re such an idiot, dear,” she quickly added, frightened. “Why did you drink that water, then? And you drank almost all of it!”

“Don’t worry. Your husband is a miracle doctor. I’ve solved this little problem a long time ago!”

jackie chuckled and spoke, “The poison will probably take about a month to manifest if you don’t treat it, but since I’ve treated it, it won’t be a problem.”

“I’m so mad! I’m going to kill that b*tch!”

The more Selena thought about it, the angrier she became. Xena was really rotten to the core. Fortunately, jackie was a doctor and sensed that something was off soon enough to cure himself of the poison. What would happen if it happened to a regular joe? Was she really going to resign herself to the fate of a widow?

However, she only took two steps before jackie dragged her back. “What are you doing? You’re going to alert her if you do this. Besides, what proof do you have now? If you go, she might just turn the tables on us and knock you down senseless instead, and she’ll frame us both. Your brother and your mother won’t believe you. They’ll definitely think you’re still against her!”

“But I just get so frustrated when I think about it!”

Selena was so angry that she stomped her foot against the ground.

“Don’t worry. I’m going to use her own trick against her. She thinks that I drank that poison so naturally, she’d want to report the entire situation to her man. I believe someone is manipulating her actions from behind the scenes because no ordinary person can procure that poison so easily!”

jackie smiled. He was well aware that the poison Xena had fed him was probably the same poison Ken and Neil had intended to give Fiona, which would have been fed to him eventually.

That was why he surmised that the man behind Xena’s back was probably Ken Clark or Neil Hugo. They knew that she was someone who would do anything for money, and that was probably why they had instructed her to administer the poison on him.

Chapter 608 “You’re right. It’s frustrating, but we have to hold our anger back for now. I believe our enemy doesn’t have any precautions set in place. He’ll definitely reveal himself soon!”

Selena finally calmed down after a while. How could she not control herself when jackie was able to control himself and drink the poison even after knowing that the water had been poisoned?

The only thing she could do was to hold it all in—for the sake of her brother and her parents so that they would not be blinded any further by this woman.

“Do we have any countermeasures? Or do we just wait like this?”

Selena could not help but say after thinking about it, “I really think we should hurry up and catch that b*tch while she’s with the man.”

jackie flashed a bitter smile. “I’m just worried that this man isn’t in an intimate relationship with her. It’ll be impossible for us to catch them on the same bed. What if the man just wanted to use Xena to give the poison to me? What if he had already given Xena some down payment earlier? She would have the money to buy all those clothes and our judgment would’ve been wrong!”

Selena also nodded. “You’re right. If that were the case, my brother will have zero trust in you!”

jackie also frowned. Dealing with this entire scenario was harder than slaughtering enemies on the battlefield. He noticed that Xena had been buying new clothes and bags quite frequently. She dressed more seductively, as well. Both he and Selena had assumed that she was seeing a man on the side and that she had traded her body for money. They thought she was seeing two men at the same time.

However, Xena poisoning him today caused jackie some uncertainty about his initial judgment. If the man had only given her money to administer poison, how was he going to explain it to Ben?

“I really think we need to be super cautious about everything we do!”

The crease between Selena’s brows deepened. She did not want to waste a single moment because having a woman like Xena right beside her was like being with a viper in a pit.

Today, she had given jackie the poison. In the future, she might give it to Ben, or her parents. For a woman as venomous as her, they needed to reveal her true colors as soon as possible.

“Dear, do you have such little faith in your husband?”

jackie flashed her a bitter smile. “I’ve told the bodyguards at the gate a long time ago to keep tabs on her. If they see Xena walking out alone, without a bodyguard or Ben, they’ll report it to me in secret,” he said. “I’ve also secretly installed a bug and tracking device on her today.”

“Seriously? You’re amazing, dear!”

Selena was suddenly delighted when she heard that. She impulsively flung her arms around jackie’s neck, giving him a peck on the cheek. “Now I know you’ve had a plan all along, dear.”

“Of course. Xena’s very cunning. It’ll be difficult to unravel her schemes if we don’t do some scheming of our own.”

When jackie pressed a button on his side, he could hear everything she was doing.

“All right, Ben. It’s getting late. Rest nicely at home and wait for me. My friends have asked me out for karaoke.”

Xena’s voice drifted.

jackie and Selena shared a glance when they heard this. Their hearts leaped in delight. Was Xena really going to head out alone? This was too much of a coincidence. They actually heard what they wanted to hear the moment they decided to eavesdrop on her.

Ben’s voice rang out as well. “Bring me along, Xena. I’m a pretty good singer, too. I’m so bored at home. You never bring me out when you see your friends!”

Xena replied, “Why would you come along? They won’t be happy if you’re with me. We’ve already said that we wouldn’t bring others to our meetings, and we wouldn’t bring men along. Us girls are only able to completely relax when we’re singing on our own!”

Chapter 609 Xena paused for a while before resuming, “Right. Don’t call me at night either, okay? We always play a game during our gatherings where we’d put all of our phones on the table, and the owner of the phone that’s the first to ring will be the one to pick up the bill. We always end up spending over ten thousand dollars, so I definitely don’t want to pay. We have to save up a bit. Understand?”

“Then, when will you be back?”

Ben’s voice rang from the listening device again.

“Seriously, Ben? Why do I feel like you’ve been nagging at me more and more lately? My friends and I always hang out, drinking until late in the night. What do you mean ‘when am I coming back’? Of course, we’re going to go to a hotel to sleep. I’ll come back in the morning!”

Xena was getting a little impatient. “All right, I’m off. See you tomorrow!”

Soon after, they heard the thud of a closing door. It seemed that Xena had gone out.

jackie and Selena heard the clicking of heels from outside, growing softer as the sound faded into the distance and followed its master down the stairs.

“Dear, it seems like Xena’s going to see that man. This is a golden opportunity for us!” Selena spoke.

jackie nodded. “She definitely thinks that I’ve been poisoned. Now, she either can’t wait to ask for her reward or she’s going to report the incident to him. As to whether she’s in an intimate relationship with that man, I don’t dare to ascertain just yet.”

“I do think they’re in a physical relationship!”

Selena mulled over it for a while, then she spoke in a solemn tone, “I have a strong feeling that they are since she’s so secretive about it. She wouldn’t do this if they weren’t in a physical relationship. Secondly, never mind that she’s been dressing more provocatively lately, she’s also been spraying on some heavy perfume. The possibility of them being lovers is very large.”

“All right. I trust your judgment. We can call your brother now and find our proof!”

jackie gave her a small smile and together, they left their room. They also temporarily disabled the eavesdropping function on the device, only leaving the tracking function on.

“Mr. jackie…”

They did not expect the bodyguard at the entrance to approach them as soon as they exited. “Mr. jackie, Xena…”

It was evident he had come over to report the situation.

“Never mind,” jackie interrupted him. “I know what’s going on. Go down now!”

The bodyguard nodded and went down.

jackie and Selena stood in front of Ben’s room, their insides stirring with uneasiness. In the end, Selena sighed heavily before knocking on the door.

“Sis? jackie? What’s going on?”

Ben stared at the two of them suspiciously when he opened the door.

“Let’s go. Don’t forget that promise you and jackie made. If you find her with another man, you’ll kill her yourself. Right?”

Selena’s expression darkened as she looked at her brother, utterly solemn.

Chapter 610 “Sis, what are you talking about? Hasn’t she gone for a karaoke session with her girlfriends?”

Ben frowned. His features twisted into a slight grimace. Now that his sister and jackie came over looking for him, they probably had some measure of certainty in themselves.

He never wanted to believe what they said, but he himself felt that Xena had changed a lot lately. She would frequently go out with her so-called girlfriends, and she would never bring him along.

Still, he harbored hopes that everything was a fluke and that he was reading too much into her actions. He hoped that jackie would never find his evidence, and he definitely hoped that Xena would wed him and that they would have the wedding soon.

Yet this day had come, and it had arrived so soon, too. jackie and Selena were both standing at his door.

“How can you be so idiotic, brother? Both of you are about to get married. She’s your fiancée. Why wouldn’t she bring you along if she’s going to see her girlfriends for karaoke? Besides, this isn’t just a one-time thing, right?”

Selena was speechless for a while before she spoke with a tinge of disappointment.

“But Sis, she herself said that her girlfriends don’t bring outsiders along and that they can only loosen up when they’re alone among themselves. That’s why she doesn’t bring me along…”

Ben insisted on believing in Xena.

“So…are you coming along? She’s definitely going to see a man. Don’t tell me you’re chickening out now? Why are you so scared if you trust her so much?” Selena spoke with irritation in her voice, her arms folded across her chest.

“Let’s go, then. I refuse to believe she’ll do something like that to me after all I’ve done for her!”

Ben clenched his palm into a fist and stomped out of the door, trudging down the stairs.

Selena shot jackie a glance and the two immediately trailed after him. The three quickly got into a car and drove out.

“But Sis, Xena has been out for a few good minutes now. Can we even find her? Don’t tell me you know where she is.”

Ben’s heart palpitated as he sat at the back.

He knew that jackie was clever and that he would always have a plan in wait. Since he and his sister had brought him out so confidently, they probably had pretty good proof already.

Selena, who sat beside jackie, took his phone out. She turned it on and showed it to Ben.

“You two planted a tracking device on her?”

Ben watched the flashing dot on the screen moving forward. His expression darkened.

“We had no choice. Xena’s extremely sneaky. We’d be found out long ago if we didn’t do this. That’s why the best method is to let her go first before following her.”

Selena’s lips curled into a bitter smile. Although she felt that this method was a little underhanded, she had no choice but to go along with it for the sake of her little brother, so that he would finally open his eyes to the truth.

“She stops! It’s the Grand Star Hotel!” Selena yelled abruptly as she quickly realized that the red dot stopped moving as soon as it arrived at the Grand Star Hotel.

Chapter 611 After she spoke her last word, she wheeled around to look at Ben. His face went white, as though an artist had forgotten to put any color on his face.

A few seconds of silence filled the car before Ben blurted awkwardly, “There are several restaurants on the first floor. Perhaps she made an appointment with her girlfriends to have dinner first, or perhaps they agreed to meet at the hotel before they head out for karaoke? Isn’t it normal?”

Ben paused for a moment and then his face lit up as if some idea popped up in his mind. “Look! Aren’t there a few bars next to the Grand Star Hotel? They could’ve just parked their cars in the hotel’s parking lot and plan to walk over to these bars, right? That’s possible, too! So, Sis, don’t simply make assumptions. I believe in Xena—she’s not a slutty person!”

Selena was stunned. She could not believe that up until this moment, her dear brother still had so much trust in Xena, siding her without hesitation. A cold smile crossed her face as she snorted, “My dear brother, how could you still believe in her? Can’t you tell how cunning and vicious she is? Didn’t you feel she was acting strange when we went for the barbeque this morning?”

“Acting strangely? Which part of her behavior was strange? I didn’t see it!”

Ben frowned. The folds between his brows grew deeper as he tried to recall any strange act from Xena. Suddenly, he shouted out of nowhere, “Oh! Sis, are you referring to when Xena handed jackie a bottle of water? Are you jealous because of that? If that’s the case, Sis, you’re being oversensitive! It’s just a bottle of water, what’s the matter?”

A frosty smile returned to Selena’s face. “Just a bottle of water? Do you know what was in that bottle of water…”

Selena briefly recounted the episode to Ben.

“Impossible! Xena’s no such person! How could she do such a thing? Somebody must have threatened her to do so! Yes! This must be the case, somebody had threatened her!”

The truth could not reach Ben’s ears. He refused to believe it. In his heart, Xena was almost a symbol of an angel—pure and innocent. She had never allowed Ben to touch her even after being together for so long. She told him to wait until the day of their wedding night. Only then, would she allow him to touch her.

A pure-hearted angelic girl like Xena would be hard to find in this world. He truly believed that he was so fortunate to meet such a perfect girl.

As for the fact that Xena always wore sexy and provocative clothing and loved dressing up, that was because Xena was a fan of fashion! There was nothing wrong with her pursuit of fashion. Not to mention, the love for beauty is a woman’s nature.

jackie drove the car and parked outside the Grand Star Hotel as they spoke.

He grabbed his phone from Selena and said in a firm and solemn tone, “Ben, this button will turn on the eavesdropping function of the device that I’ve secretly planted under her bag. This small device not only helps to track but also to listen to the sound around it. The only flaw is that this device can’t record their voices. However, I believe that the eavesdropping function is sufficient for us to know whether or not Xena’s meeting her girlfriends as she said. Once I turn on this button, we’ll know the truth!”

jackie stopped for a moment before he resumed, “The red dot has stopped in this area. This indicates that Xena has arrived at her destination. Now, do you dare turn on the function to listen in on her?”

Ben gritted his teeth, stretched out his finger, and finally tapped on the button on the screen.

A man’s voice came from the phone.

“Baby, finally you’re here! You’ve made me wait for so long!”

A coy woman’s voice emerged in the next second. It belonged to Xena.

“Jeez. I have to sneak out every time I want to see you. I even have to look at the rearview mirror when I drive to make sure nobody follows me. You’ve made me into a thief now. Ivan, I don’t want to live a fearful life like this anymore!”

“Ivan Taylor!” jackie and Selena exchanged glances in unison. Their eyes widened at the fact. They had their guesses and made a lot of speculations, but Ivan Taylor had never crossed their minds. How could they have guessed that the b*stard Xena was seeing was Ivan Taylor!

Moreover, judging from the conversation itself, it was obvious that this was not the first time they were together—they must have been together for a very long time.

Selena switched her gaze over to Ben. This time, Ben was no longer calm. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, staring straight at the phone. Rage was consuming him alive. The veins on his neck were popping out, and at the same time, his eyes reddened.

Chapter 612 “How could it be him?”

Selena’s forehead puckered. She was at a loss for words. If Xena was with the others, it would not cause this much emotional damage. How could it be Ivan Taylor?

Even jackie’s face turned gloomy at this fact.

After all, Ivan was Selena’s cousin. If it was Ken Clark or the others, jackie could have just ended their lives without thinking twice.

Ken and the others were always targeting jackie and his family. They even wanted to slit jackie’s throat. If the poison was given by Ken, jackie would have no worries about killing him.

However, if the person behind it was Ivan Taylor, the situation became more complicated. Ivan is a Taylor and Selena’s cousin, after all. If he sent him to the grave, it would be too much. Besides, Ivan had never inflicted grave harm on jackie before, other than hatred, mockeries and contempts.

Furthermore, if Old Master Taylor knew that jackie had killed his only grandson—Ivan Taylor—he would spew blood to death. Not to mention, Xena was the one who initiated the dirty deed and had offered herself to Ivan. Hence, Ivan could not be blamed completely.

Besides, the Taylor family’s anger would spike if jackie killed Ivan just because of their secret affair.

After all, one hand cannot clap alone. It was not as if Ivan had forced Xena into this.

“Dear, what do you say? I’ll follow you!”

Feeling uneasy to decide after considering all the possibilities, jackie threw the ball to Selena, letting her decide.

“Xena, this woman, I’ll let my brother end her. As for Ivan Taylor, hmmm, it wouldn’t be a good idea to kill him. He’s responsible for the South Hill Real Estate projects and he’s my cousin, too. If we kill over this matter, Grandpa Taylor won’t be satisfied.”

After giving some thought to the situation, Selena opened her mouth, “However, it doesn’t matter if Xena was the one who offered herself to him or he went to Xena first. We can’t let this slide. Beat him up, hard! Make him bedridden for at least half a month!”

“By the way, I’ve some great news to tell you!” Xena’s voice rang from the phone again.

“Oh, what’s making you so giggly?” Ivan returned, smilingly.

“The good-for-nothing b*stard jackie drank the poisoned water yesterday! And he’s completely unaware of it!”

Xena beamed and her mouth curved into a wicked smile. “As long as this b*stard dies, you can announce our relationship in front of everyone in the Taylor family. I’ll officially be your girlfriend then I won’t have to be with Ben the hopeless waste any longer!”

“Did you really give jackie the poison? Are you sure?”

Ivan’s surprised voice contained a hint of disbelief. He had been looking forward to this day for a very long time!

“Of course, I’m sure! Yesterday, I purposely suggested going on a barbeque picnic. He was responsible for the grilling, which made him sweat like a pig. So, I volunteered to buy them some drinks and seized the opportunity to put the poison pill into his bottle of water. I pretended to help him open the bottle before handing it to him. I seriously didn’t expect that he’d drink the whole bottle of water in one go without questioning anything…”

As she narrated the incident, brazenness and arrogance could be heard in Xena’s tone as though she had accomplished a glorious deed.

“Well done, Xena, well done! Also, it’s just one month away from Selena’s birthday, and that day will also be jackie’s memorial day. His body will become weaker and weaker as the days pass, and in his last two days, his body will fester. Hmph! Everyone will celebrate when he dies!”

Ivan laughed aloud, and then added, “Babe, come here. Let me undress you. You deserve a good reward from me!”

“Aww. You’re so cute when you’re impatient to get me!”

Xena’s voice was full of coquetry.

“You little imp. You don’t say what you think, do you?”

Ivan let out a laugh.

In the car, Ben was burning with so much anger he was about to explode.

It turned out that what jackie and his sister had been saying was true, that Xena, this slutty woman, had long been in private affairs with other men.

Moreover, jackie’s statement about Xena poisoning him was proved to be true, too.

Never did he expect that Xena was such a woman—a rotten and dirty woman. What she said about him —a hopeless trash—was completely beyond his imagination as well. She was nasty!

“Oh, right. Don’t forget to buy me a villa, too!” Xena’s voice appeared again.

Chapter 613 Ben gnashed his teeth as the anger thrummed through his veins. He stretched out his hand and tapped the button on the screen, turning off the listening device. In the next second, he got out of the car and strode towards the hotel.

“Let’s go!”

jackie and Selena exchanged quick glances before getting out of the car to follow behind Ben.

The three appeared at the front desk of the hotel in a flash.

“Please check which room Ivan Taylor is staying in!” jackie commanded with a frosty expression.

“Mr., our customer’s information is confidential. I’m sorry but I can’t tell you…” The female receptionist replied politely.

Without further ado, jackie pulled out a stack of bills from his wallet and slapped them on the desk. “You have two choices here. First, find out the room and the money belongs to you. Second, I’ll kill you right away!”

jackie’s words had successfully frightened the female receptionist. She knew that there were many people in this world that she could not afford to offend.

Even their boss would not provoke such a person.

Clearly, jackie fit into the definition of ‘such a person’.

The female receptionist frantically typed on the keyboard and searched through the system. “Room five- oh-two!” she yelled.

jackie let out an icy laugh. “I’m glad you brought your brain with you today!”

The stack of bills was left on the receptionist’s desk. The three of them strode towards the elevator and took it to the fifth floor. Soon, they arrived outside of Room 502.

“Oh no! It’s a keycard door! We can’t open it!”

The skin between Selena’s brows crinkled when she noticed the hotel room door was inaccessible.

However, the top-notch quality door was kicked wide open with just a single kick from jackie.

After the three entered the room abruptly, Xena—who was lying in the bed—emitted a piercing scream. She was so frightened that she hid under the blanket, using it to cover her body and face in hopes that her face was not exposed to the intruders.

When the door burst open, Xena reacted almost instantly. She knew that something was wrong so she hid under the blanket right away.

Ivan’s expression morphed into one of horrified surprise as well. The only clothing left on his body was a pair of boxers. He quickly put on his shirt and a pair of pants.

“ jackie, Ben, Selena, why are you here? Are you guys insane? How dare you break into my room!”

Ivan got out of bed, a frosty expression covering his face. He reprimanded them aggressively.

“You son of a b*tch!”

Ben could no longer hold back his anger. He leaped toward Ivan with a firmly balled fist, slamming a punch on the bridge of Ivan’s nose.

The punch sent Ivan backward, causing him to fall onto the ground, hard. When he got up on his feet, a stream of scarlet blood flowed from his nostrils and down his face.

“Motherf*cker! Ben, are you nuts? Why did you hit me? What right do you have to hit me!”

Ivan stabilized himself on his feet and shot Ben a deadly stare. “The woman in bed right now is from a nightclub! I found her in a nightclub! Why the f*ck did you hit me?”

“Stop pretending, f*cker! Stop lying! Do you think I don’t know who’s under the blanket? That’s my fiancée!”

A fresh swell of rage rose in Ben again as he charged forward, swinging his fist at Ivan.

Chapter 614 Xena hid under the blanket. She did not dare make a sound because she believed that when Ben and the others barged into the room, they did not manage to see her. Therefore, they could have just been throwing some guesses to lure her out. As long as Ivan kept denying it, there would still be hope for her to stay hidden.

Ivan saw the fist that was coming right at his face but this time, he was well prepared. He swayed slightly to the left, just enough to avoid the blow, and then he shot his right knee upwards, striking Ben’s abdomen.

Ben’s abdomen was struck by Ivan’s powerful kick. He plopped onto the ground.

“Ridiculous! How would you know if it was Xena? Don’t simply make assumptions!”

Ivan swallowed down his nervousness and kept it in check, making sure the three did not pick up anything strange from him. “I got this woman from a nightclub! What fiancée? Stop spewing nonsense!” He retorted in a pretentious yet calm tone.

“Ah! I’ll fight you to death!”

Ben shot up from the ground and charged toward Ivan, again.

Nonetheless, Ben was sent flying backward with another kick. He plummeted to the ground, again. Ben was not on par with Ivan.

“You’re indeed useless trash! Do you think I’m as weak as you? I’ve had bodyguards since I was young. Of course, I’ve learned and practiced a few moves! And you? Your pathetic brain is only filled with games! Yet, you still dream about beating me?”

Ivan emitted a wicked chuckle, brazenness and arrogance covered his face as if he was the ruler of the earth.

“Hmmm. Ivan Taylor, did you just forget my existence?”

jackie put on a cold smile. Ivan gave the poison to Xena, and if he could not kill Ivan, at least he would give him a good and unforgettable lesson!

“ jackie, you, stop right there! I didn’t even sleep with your woman, why are you being nosy? Besides, the things between men and women are out of their own will. I didn’t force her to sleep with me!”

When Ivan saw that jackie was about to approach him, he unconsciously stumbled back to the corner of the room, gulping fearfully. Even though he knew a bit of fighting, he could only, at best, beat someone like Ben Taylor. Fighting with jackie? It would be like an ant trying to pick on an elephant—no chance.

“Can’t do. He’s my beloved wife’s brother, after all. You beat my dear brother-in-law, it would only be fair if I beat you up to avenge him, right?”

The corners of jackie’s mouth curled upwards, showing a disdainful smile. He walked slowly towards Ivan, painfully slow.

At this time, Ben had got up on his feet as well. He wiped off the blood near his nose and shot Ivan a hateful stare.

jackie glanced over to Ben and said, “Ben, didn’t you promise us before? If the woman under the blanket was Xena, you’d end her life yourself, right? You said that as long as I found evidence for you, you’d send her to hell. Don’t you forget our deal!” jackie paused for a moment and continued, “So, I won’t do anything to Xena. You should be the one to do it!”

Ben’s teeth were gritted firmly as he looked at the shivering figure hiding under the blanket. He strode belligerently to the bed and pulled the blanket sheet away forcefully.

“Ah!”

Xena, who was hiding under the blanket sheet, trembled at the thought of knowing jackie was here as well. Her hope to stay hidden and alive was ripped away completely when she knew that jackie was here and that Ben was going to kill her. Her heart hammered in her chest and her body shook with fear.

She could not figure out how jackie and the others discovered where she was and that she was secretly seeing Ivan. She deliberately took extra precautions when she went out today! She even kept an eye on the surroundings when she got out of her car in the hotel’s parking lot. No one and no car was following her, not to mention jackie and the others!

“Ben Taylor, what are you doing! F*cking pervert! I haven’t put on my clothes yet!”

Xena stretched out her arms immediately to grab her clothes.

As for jackie, he did not even bother to look at them. Instead, he walked up to Ivan and threw him a powerful kick, a kick that sent Ivan flying backward.

Chapter 615 Ivan was kicked back against the wall before falling heavily onto the ground. The pain crushed him inside out. Every jostle sent ripples of pain through his shoulder, back, and neck, causing him to curl like a cooked prawn.

A few more merciless kicks were thrown at Ivan as jackie approached him.

Ben did not move an inch. He stood as still as a statue, only staring menacingly at Xena. He was hoping with all his heart that he would not witness the scene that he hated the most. However, he could not avoid the truth anymore.

Xena put her clothes on quickly and returned Ben’s stare. “Ben Taylor, you can’t completely blame me for this. You can only blame yourself and your uselessness. Do you think I’d be with Ivan if you weren’t a useless piece of trash?”

“Fck!” Finally, Ben exploded. He could not hold back his rage any longer as he gave her a few heavy slaps across her face. He snarled, “Shameless fcking b*tch! Pretending to be all elegant and pure in front of me every day! You’re just a nasty, filthy witch who does dirty deeds behind people’s back!”

“You! How dare you hit me!”

Xena clasped both hands over her cheeks, scarcely believing her eyes. With a look of despair, she said, “Ben Taylor, how could you! I’m fortunate that I decided not to give myself fully to you. You’re a grown man, yet, you’d hit a woman? Luckily, I’ve yet to marry you. Otherwise, I’d suffer from domestic violence in the future!”

The heartache tormented Ben and he raised his arm high again. However, his movement stopped midair.

On the other hand, Xena was staring straight into Ben’s eyes with a hateful sneer on her face. “Just hit me! Stop being a useless gnat and hit me! A grown man who’d beat a woman? How can I be with a person like that? Besides, I’ve been with you for two to three years now and I’ve never seen a hopeful future from being with you! Especially back then, have you even bought me a branded bag before? Or perhaps some decent clothes and lipstick?” she provoked.

Ben’s tongue was tied by a series of questions. He stood frozen. At this moment, he actually began to believe that he was at fault.

Selena, who stood behind Ben, could not stand the situation anymore. She went forward and served a few slaps on Xena’s cheeks.

“Fcking btch! What right do you have to hit me!”

Xena was soaked in anger. She knew inside out that Ben loved her very much, so naturally, he would be reluctant to beat her. For a long time, Ben was even afraid of her.

Nevertheless, she never thought Selena would come forward and slap her!

“Aren’t you a shameless slut? Indeed, my brother was not wealthy before, but every time he had something good, he’d share it with you! The money he’s been saving up was always for you to go for your karaoke sessions or to the internet café to enjoy yourself! During the years that you two have been together, how much have you contributed?

“You’re a gold digger and this is an iron fact! You approached Ivan and slept with him for his wealth! How dare you shamelessly shove all the blame onto my brother now!”

After Selena finished barking at Xena, she wheeled around and spoke to Ben, “Ben, why are you still standing here with a puzzled look? End her right now! Trash like her should be eliminated immediately.

Don’t tell me you want to keep this rubbish to celebrate the new year? Have you forgotten the agreement with jackie? Today, you must act like a man!”

“Kill me if you dare!”

Xena raised her head, staring straight into Ben’s deadly pupils. “I don’t love you and don’t want to marry you. That’s because I think you’re incapable! You’re a useless piece of trash that only knows how to play games all day. What’s the use? Moreover, I’m not even married to you, I’m just your girlfriend! I have the freedom to be with whoever I want to be!”

“Shameless!”

The more Ben thought, the angrier he grew. He slapped Xena hard before pushing her down on the bed. His hands were around her neck, choking her. “I—I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you today! You f*cking gold digger!”

Anger rose in Ben like a tide. His bloodshot eyes were full of wrath and he looked as though he had emerged from hell. “I’ll end you! Fcking shameless btch!”

Chapter 616 “Ben Taylor, you son of a btch! It’s a consensual relationship! What right do you have to kill her? You can’t blame Xena just because you’re a piece of useless sht!” Ivan yelled. He spat out a mouthful of blood after receiving a few kicks from jackie, yet he could not hold himself back.

After all, Xena had helped him a lot, and there was much affection between the two of them. He truly did not wish humiliation and death for Xena.

Besides, he was hoping to enjoy the scene of introducing Xena as his girlfriend in front of the Taylor family. He wanted to see how anger and rage consumed Ben and Selena alive.

Xena was struggling underneath Ben. Her body was getting feebler and feebler, her face turned blue and it seemed like she was about to die.

However, Ben could not bring himself to kill her in the end.

Warm tears blurred his vision. He let go of Xena and fell to the side, mentally and spiritually destroyed.

Xena clutched her throat and could not stop coughing and gasping for air. She was panting heavily.

“Brother, what are you doing? How can you just…”

Selena was at a loss for words. Xena was about to breathe her last breath, and Ben could have avenged himself! Yet, her softhearted brother decided to give up at this critical moment.

“Sis!”

Ben lifted his head with reddened eyes. He was fighting back his tears until he could no longer hold them anymore. Tears ran down his cheeks like a river. “Can someone really kill the one they love with their whole heart? She betrayed me, and my heart broke, but…but, I can’t bring myself to kill her. I love her beyond everything. I just can’t do it! And she’s right, I’m useless, I’m not capable at all. I don’t even dare to take someone’s life!” he managed to breathe out some words with a tone of despair.

Selena suppressed a tremble inside her. She understood Ben’s feelings very well.

Yes, Ben was right. He loved Xena too much. Even though the other party had wronged him, for him to kill someone he loved the most was a little too cruel and inhumane.

Xena, who had recovered from the previous episode, took the advantage of the timing and got up and rushed out the door. She was afraid that if she was a second slower, Ben would change his mind.

As Xena ran out of the room, Selena breathed out a sigh of defeat and sat down on the side of the bed, feeling helpless.

She could fully understand Ben’s feelings. It was already arduous for Ben to let go of this deeply rooted affection, what more killing the one he loved?

Perhaps, Ben would feel better in a few days.

Ivan, who was lying on the ground, spat out another mouthful of crimson red blood. His face had been beaten blue and black.

“Enough. Let’s go. You’ll beat him to death if you continue!”

Selena switched her attention over to jackie and Ivan and sighed tiringly. She walked over to jackie and pulled at his sleeves, asking him to stop the beating.

“Ivan Taylor, listen to me clearly. What happened today is due to what you did in the past. You reap what you sow. You can find whoever to sleep with and have an affair with, but you went for Xena. What does that say? I think you did it deliberately!”

jackie also understood that if he killed Ivan merely because of a consensual secret affair, he and Selena would not be able to justify themselves before Old Master Taylor. Besides, if he were to tell Old Man Taylor about the poison, no one would believe him. Now that he had forced the poison out of his body, his body was as healthy as before. Nobody would believe he was poisoned as there was no evidence to prove it at all!

Chapter 617 Therefore, jackie could only pretend he was not aware of the plan to poison him.

But, he did feel a lot better now after beating up Ivan real bad just a moment ago.

“Hmph! I dare you to kill me here right now! You’d kill me just because Xena is fond of me but not Ben? What a joke! If you murder me, then pray real hard for forgiveness from my Pa and Grandpa!”

Ivan jeered dryly and shot jackie a hateful stare. “ jackie, I’ll remember what happened today! And don’t you worry, you’ll regret your actions sooner or later!”

jackie was not bothered in the slightest. He walked over to Xena’s bag and plucked off the tracking device. He then held Selena’s hand and left the scene together with Ben.

Ivan could not see jackie taking off the tracking device from where he was. A few minutes after jackie and the others left, Ivan used all his strength and finally got himself on the bed. His whole body was in pain as if it was about to fall apart.

In hopes of asking Xena to come back, Ivan picked up his phone and called her, only to find that Xena had been so frightened that when she escaped the room, she left her phone on the bedside table.

“F*ck! Looks like I have to call 911!” Ivan cursed. He felt that his limbs were about to detach from his body and it was about to fall apart. He did not know how badly he was injured.

“ jackie, that motherf*cker! I want to see how long that arrogance of yours can last. I bet you don’t know that you’ve been poisoned, do you? Humph! You’re strong and powerful, but you can live for at most another twenty-nine days? And when the time comes, your body will fester and you’ll die in pain. I’ll definitely take pictures of you when I witness this glorious moment of you dying in pain before me!”

Ivan muttered to himself, his tone icy cold. Then he dialed 911.

…

“Young Master Clark, Young Master Clark, bad news! Somebody’s beaten Ivan up, and I don’t know what his condition is right now. What should I do?”

After Xena escaped the horrific hotel room, terror thundered down on her. Even until now, she was shaking in fear.

She quickly thought for a moment before speeding toward the direction of Ken Clark’s residence to look for Ken.

“What? What just happened? Tell me everything from A to Z!”

When Ken had fully understood the whole incident, his brows furrowed. “Wait, speak slowly. Tell me the details, who beat him? The Taylor family is now a second-class family, and with the fame and glory the Taylor family had received during Old Man Taylor’s birthday banquet, who on earth would dare to go against Young Master Ivan at this point in time?

“ jackie, the b*stard!”

Anxiety vibrated through her being as she continued, “The incident happened like this. I had planned to go on a secret date with Ivan tonight. I don’t know what I did to make jackie and Ben so suspicious of me. Besides, I was extra careful when I went out. I truly don’t know why and how on earth they knew my whereabouts. They tracked me to the hotel, and then Ivan and I were caught on the spot by two of them and Selena Taylor…”

Once Xena breathed out the last syllable, she cried aloud. “I was almost killed by Ben. Luckily, he couldn’t do it in the end and loosened his grip around my neck. Only then did I manage to escape. I didn’t bring my phone with me when I ran out, and I didn’t know what else to do, so I could only come here to find you!”

“Don’t worry. I’ve thought about it. I don’t think Young Master Ivan would die.”

Ken went silent for a moment and then a disdainful smile hung over his face.

“No way. How can you be so sure?”

Her brows knitted together. “ jackie is a hot-headed and simple-minded guy. He can do anything!”

“If it was just jackie at the scene, this one-brain-cell brat might’ve ended Ivan on the spot without hesitation!”

Ken chuckled aloud and then added, “But Selena was there, too. So, he wouldn’t kill Ivan. He’s Selena’s cousin after all, and if jackie killed him because of this, it would be difficult for them to justify themselves before Old Master Taylor. Furthermore, Ivan is the main person in charge of the South Hill Real Estate projects. Killing Ivan wouldn’t be a good thing for the Taylor family, at least not for now!”

Xena finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ken’s words. “ jackie and the others should’ve left by now, but I’m still afraid. Could you please get several bodyguards and come with me to the hotel?”

Chapter 618 “I—I’m coming along?”

Panic throbbed inside Ken when Xena requested him to take some bodyguards and go with her to the hotel. His face sank in an instant.

He knew very well in his heart that no one in the Clark family possessed combative skills that were on par with jackie’s, not even the number one bodyguard of the Clark family—Dan Jameson. Even if he brought a bunch of bodyguards with him, they would not be able to touch jackie at all, not even the corner of his shirt.

Especially now, knowing that jackie was burning with anger. Plus, he was a simple-minded brat who had a close relationship with the Goddess of War. All in all, they did not dare to offend jackie at all. If jackie wanted to beat him, he could only swallow it and blame himself for having bad luck.

“What’s the matter? Young Master Clark, are you afraid of him?”

Xena was taken aback and felt something was off.

“Afraid of him? Humph! What a joke! He’s merely a good-for-nothing adopted son-in-law, why should I be afraid of him?” Ken sneered dryly, but he was obviously suppressing the fear in him.

After thinking for some time, he then added, “I’ll make a call to him first. If jackie left the scene, he’ll answer the phone, provided he’s not severely wounded.”

Xena nodded in agreement at Ken’s plan. It was a feasible plan.

Ken speedily moved his fingers on his phone, dialed Ivan’s numbers, and waited patiently.

“Hey, Young Master Clark! Goddammit! I was beaten by that motherf*cker jackie and I’ve called nine- one-one. I don’t know where the heck Xena went!”

Ivan’s voice came out from the phone’s speaker.

Upon hearing Ivan’s voice, Xena immediately snatched the phone from Ken, “Ivan, I’m here with Young Master Clark! I went to seek help from him to get you out of there! Are you okay?”

“Still alive. It seems like jackie didn’t dare to throw heavy blows. After all, I’m the Young Master of the Taylor family, so he wouldn’t dare throw hard punches. He wouldn’t dare kill me!”

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. He managed to stand up and could walk around the room now. Although his whole body was aching, the injuries were not severe. They were only bruises on the surface.

Nevertheless, the blue and black face that he had now made him feel too embarrassed to return to the Taylor Residence or the company. If he went back in such a state, he would have to endure all the shame and gossip from others.

Besides, should his father ask why jackie had attacked him, he could not possibly tell his father that it was because of his secret affair with Xena and they were caught on the spot in a hotel room.

“Okay, alright! We’ll come over immediately. My phone and bag are still in the room!” Xena hung up the phone, sighing in relief.

“Son of a btch! The bstard jackie’s really sneaky and cunning. How did he manage to track you down and catch the both of you?” Ken cursed out loud. He turned his head towards Xena and his eyes went up and down, scanning Xena’s alluring figure. He had to admit, Xena’s body was well maintained and the

clothes she put on tonight were short and provocative as well. Ken could not stop the perverted thoughts from popping up frantically in his mind right now.

“Alright, let’s go! I’ll call some bodyguards over and we’ll go to Ivan’s place together to inspect the situation!”

Ken discreetly glanced at Xena’s boobs and his adam-apple jumped. “It’d be better to keep tonight’s matter as a secret. To Young Master Taylor, it’s an extremely embarrassing episode!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep my mouth shut!”

Xena bobbed her head. At the same time, she thought she had noticed Ken’s burning stare on her chest. Her cheeks were suddenly kissed pink at the thought, yet she put on a smile, pretending to not have noticed it.

Ken entered his residence and soon, came out with several bodyguards behind him. They got into cars and drove out.

Xena quickly skipped towards them and got into the car as well. The cars were heading in the direction of the hotel.

Meanwhile, Selena and Ben had already returned to the villa.

Chapter 619 Ben stayed silent the whole way home, as though sadness had stolen his words. It was obvious that dread and sorrow had been growing inside him since the earlier incident.

“Brother, I understand if you can’t kill her. After all, you’ve been together for so long!”

Selena wheeled her head around, looking at Ben who was in the backseat. She continued, “But, this is the last time you’ll be grieving. The next time we see her, you can’t stop us from wanting to kill her. After

all, this woman is too cunning. Not only did she cheat on you, but she also attempted to poison your brother-in-law!”

Ben remained silent for several seconds before he finally nodded. “Don’t worry, Sis. I understand now. I was useless before, and too naïve. I don’t behave like a grown and mature man. I don’t even have a decent job! To her, I’m still a hopeless, unrecyclable piece of trash!”

His muttering halted at this moment. Then, a voice came out from his mouth again, “But, to kill her…I really can’t do it! In the future, it’ll be fine with me as long as you don’t kill her in front of me. I believe I’ll stand up again soon!”

“I’m really glad that you can think in this way!” Selena replied, her eyes teary.

Ben suddenly thought of something. “Oh, right. By the way, is jackie okay? How’s his body?”

“Don’t get too preoccupied. If jackie didn’t have the solution, he wouldn’t have drank the poisoned water.”

Before this, Selena assumed that jackie’s medical skills were just average, but right now it seemed that his skills were more than that. He was a miraculous doctor, but Selena was not sure if jackie possessed the medical knowledge for other illnesses and if he could treat them.

The car stopped outside the villa. Ben flashed a bitter smile and hobbled into the house alone.

“Selena, what happened to Ben? He doesn’t seem right to me. Where did you all go?” Fiona came out from the villa and questioned Selena, feeling uneasy.

“Sigh. Xena, this slutty woman. She cheated on Ben with Ivan. I truly didn’t expect that Ivan’s the man she’s been seeing!”

A heavy sigh escaped from Selena’s mouth. If it were someone else, they would have killed him on the spot. She never expected it to be Ivan Taylor!

“What? No way! How’s that possible?”

Fiona’s expression morphed into one of horrified surprise. She could not believe her ears.

However, when she thought of the melancholic and solemn look on Ben’s face, coupled with Selena’s bad mood, she could not help but gulp hard. “Are you sure?” She questioned, again.

“A hundred percent! We caught them in the middle of the act in a hotel room!”

Selena released a defeated sigh. “What have I been saying? This woman’s not so simple, yet none of you believed me. Do you finally get it now?”

Selena walked into the villa after dropping her last word while jackie followed her back to their room.

“You must kill Xena, that b*tch!”

Back in the room, Selena could no longer suppress her irritation about the situation. “It’s not only because of my brother, she poisoned you too! That fcking piece of sht!”

jackie nodded and responded with a gentle smile. “To kill her, it’s as easy as A-B-C! Your brother couldn’t do it just now, but I can, right? Doesn’t she love money? And there she thought she’d become wealthy after marrying Ivan? I’ll let her taste her own fruit! I’ll make sure she knows that even if she married Ivan, she won’t be anywhere close to ‘wealthy’. She’ll realize that Ivan is her worst choice!”

“You mean you’ll make her regret everything and kill her after that?”

Selena was slightly taken aback. She tilted her head slightly to the side and asked.

“Yes, my dear. Did you not hear what they said in the hotel room through the tracking device? Ivan has been wanting to get rid of us because he feels that you’ll compete with him for the Taylor’s inheritance. I know you’re not interested in it at all, but now I think we should snatch it!”

jackie chortled sarcastically. “Because this will be the best revenge for Ivan and Xena!”

Chapter 620 “But, I’m not interested in Taylor’s inheritance at all! I’ve never thought of competing with him!”

Selena’s forehead puckered, lines forming between her brows. “I just want to live a peaceful life. Plus, the money we earn monthly is more than enough for us to live comfortably. We have a villa, and also cars! I truly enjoy the life we’re having right now. As for the Taylor properties and assets, Grandpa Taylor already entrusted them to Ivan from the beginning, so he’ll definitely pass everything over to him. As for whether or not Grandpa Taylor wishes to give me some of it, I truly don’t care at all!”

“My dear wife, you’re too simple and pure.”

jackie giggled happily and wrapped his arms around Selena’s waist. “Dear, you’re kind-hearted and it’s not a big deal to you. How Grandpa Taylor distributes the properties, you have no interest at all, I’m sure. The thing is, Ivan doesn’t think so! For a long time, he always felt that Grandpa Taylor always treated you very well and that you’ll eventually take what belongs to him! He’s been holding a grudge against you, and even bullying you and Kylie!”

jackie paused for a few seconds and then continued, “Now he has finally become the general manager of the company. Naturally, he wouldn’t want to share any of it with anyone. If you married a rich man, you wouldn’t be competing with him for the assets anymore. He’s worried that he might need to share a part of the Taylor properties with you, so that’s why he made Xena poison me!”

After Selena listened to jackie’s detailed analysis, she was at a loss for words. “I get what you mean. I’ve been forgiving him and letting things slide due to our blood relationship, but he’s never done that for me. He’s never thought of letting us live. So now, it doesn’t matter whether it’s for Kylie or you—I’ll fight him!”

jackie nodded in agreement. “Furthermore, Ivan’s not as good as you in managing businesses. If you let him take over the company, I’m afraid that not long after, the Taylor properties and assets will all be gone.

He’ll make sure that everyone’s efforts go into the drain. At that time, Grandpa Taylor will be so pissed, he might get a heart attack and die!”

“Yes, you’re right. He’s never thought of letting us live. I’ll make sure he feels the same! I, Selena Taylor, am not a paper tiger!”

Selena nodded as memories from the past few years flashed in her mind. Ivan had not only bullied her and impeded her from finding a job in other companies, he also bullied Kylie! She only tolerated and swallowed it down because of her kind heart.

At first, Selena thought that since jackie had returned from the war and both of them had found decent jobs with the Drake family, Ivan would tone down his behavior for a bit. Hence, she decided to let all his past deeds stay in the past and never brought them up again.

Now, Selena realized that she was being too naïve and ignorant. Ivan had never treated her as one of the Taylor’s at all. He did not only cause harm to jackie, but also her brother.

Ivan was rich and possessed a certain amount of power in Eastfield. It would have been easy for him to find a woman to play and sleep with, but instead, he went for Xena. It was so obvious that he did it deliberately to cuckold Ben!

“Well, it’s getting late. When you have time, please visit Grandpa Taylor more often. His attitude toward us has changed a lot after his seventieth birthday banquet!” jackie said, bobbing his head.

The couple quickly took a warm shower and went to bed.

At this point in time, Ivan was lying on a hospital bed, taking some medicine and hooked to an IV drip.

“Sigh! Xena, you’re too careless! How didn’t you know you were being followed!”

Ken, who was sitting beside the bed, sighed loudly and reprimanded Xena.

“I don’t know what’s going on, too! I even took extra steps to make sure I wasn’t followed! I really can’t fathom how they knew of my whereabouts!”

Xena released a heavy sigh. She was worried. “I’m done for! Although Ben spared my life this time, I don’t think jackie will. I think his hatred toward me now is beyond any imaginable level. If he gets the chance, he’ll definitely end my life!”

Xena knew very well in her heart that jackie had spared her life twice. The first time was during the incident outside the city. jackie had shown her mercy as she was Ben’s girlfriend.

However, she used her sneaky mind and successfully blended into the family again. jackie did not seem to mind.

Today, it was Ben who had let her go. jackie was not able to kill her in front of Ben, too. That marked the second time.

But now that she had left Ben completely, she could no longer return to that family. Every plan and every deed had been exposed. She truly believed that the next time she saw jackie, he would no longer show her any mercy.

Chapter 621 “Don’t worry; just stay close to me these few days. They willingly participated in yesterday’s event, so they can’t explain their actions if they kill you.” Ivan smiled bitterly. “Luckily jackie didn’t know that you fed him poison. If he knew about it, he wouldn’t have considered so many other things.”

“What? jackie had drunk the…the poison?” A surge of unadulterated joy began spreading throughout every inch of Ken’s being when he heard this piece of information.

After all, he believed he would be the one to have Selena once jackie was out of the picture. He had waited for this day for a very long time.

He was initially worried Xena would fail since jackie was rather smart and could catch onto what Xena was planning. He never thought Xena would succeed at feeding jackie the poison without being caught.

“Yes! How’s that, Young Master Clark? Am I reliable?” Xena saw how Ken’s expression lightened up right after he heard about her success. “You seem so excited! Don’t you think you should reward me well?”

Ken had a tight smile on his face. “Some other time,” he quickly dismissed. “I’ll definitely treat you to a meal some other day.”

“Don’t forget this promise of yours!” the gleeful Xena chirped at him.

“Oh, yeah. How did you manage to do it? Tell us about the specifics. Neil still doesn’t know about the current situation, so I’ll tell him all about it later. He’d definitely be over the moon when he hears about this!” Ken was so happy that he nearly bust out a dance.

“Alright, here’s how it went down…” Xena began, and she relayed the entire story to them.

“Excellent!” Ken slapped his thigh after he heard what had happened. “If that’s the case, then that means jackie doesn’t know he’s been poisoned, does he now? He doesn’t even know that his life is in danger! Let’s just wait and see how he dies after this month!”

Ivan—lying on the bed—grinned at this as he spoke, “That’s right. Young Master Clark, jackie said that he wants to prepare an extravagant birthday party that’ll stir the entire town. That day happens to be the day of his death, too. Don’t you think that’ll be a day of celebration for us? Selena’s birthday is his death anniversary…! Oh, I get excited just thinking about it!”

“It’s such a drag that this guy is still alive right now. I really wish he’d drop dead as soon as possible!” came Ken’s honest reply laced with disdain. He was genuinely hoping jackie would succumb to the poison much faster.

“About that, Young Master Clark, there is a way for jackie to pass on early,” Ivan spoke up after a moment to himself. “ jackie had dug a hole for himself when he killed the Xenos family’s young master of Sky City, Quil Xenos. This Xenos family is a big family and is much stronger than the Drake family. Now that jackie has been poisoned, his body will get weaker over time and his combat ability will weaken day by day.”

“What do you mean?” Ken prodded, his heart leaping in joy when he was catching onto Ivan’s train of thought.

Chapter 622 “It’s very simple. Young Master Clark only needs to pay the Xenos family a visit and tell them how jackie killed their young master. That way, the Xenos family would know who the killer is,” conspired Ivan.

“ jackie has an indisputably strong combat power, but now that he’s poisoned, you can ask the Xenos family to take action after a few days. That way, their chances of succeeding in getting even would increase,” schemed Ivan with a nonchalant grin on his face. “Of course, this is if you’re in a rush to see jackie die as soon as possible. If you’re not, then you can wait and see how he suffers from the poison.”

Ivan paused for a moment before he added, “I’m in no rush, really. The entire Taylor family’s business is under my management, and the company needs me more than ever!”

“Alright, it’s getting quite late. Let me call Neil and tell him about this over some drinks,” Ken spoke. “This will surely make a good conversation!” The smile on Ken’s face did not once waver since he knew jackie had been poisoned.

Once he left the hospital and entered his car, Ken rang up Neil and invited him out to some drinks.

…

“Young Master Clark, why do you ask me out so late at night?” huffed Neil once he arrived at their meeting spot. He had been under the weather lately as jackie had become increasingly hard to deal with.

Moreover, Neil began to believe he and the others would no longer have the chance to win over Selena’s heart. After all, the Taylor family had become a second-class aristocratic family, and Old Master Taylor acknowledged jackie as the Taylor family’s son-in-law.

jackie’s status was not below theirs as he was acquainted with the Goddess of War and had even saved her life. Apart from that, they knew that Sharon George harbored feelings for jackie, and jackie overshadowed them completely in the matter of showing off to others.

To rub salt into the wound, many people in this town were still talking about Old Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday.

“A superb matter! An extremely happy matter!” Ken grinned oddly.

“Really? Things that are good to you might not be that way to me.” Neil smiled bitterly. It seemed that Ken had a change of luck and struck gold or something. Still, what did this have to do with him?

He never expected Ken’s positivity to continue as he insisted, “Don’t worry. You’ll be just as happy when you hear what I’m about to say!” Ken paused here before saying, “But you’ll have to pay for the bill tonight!”

“F*ck!” Neil was speechless. “Young Master Clark, when did you become so stingy? You were the one who called me out for drinks, and now you’re asking me to pay the bill?”

“You’ll feel that paying the bill is worth it when you know what this is about! It’s also big and good news for you!” Ken smiled and walked inside. “Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to know about it. I’ll pay the bill and not tell you about it!”

“Alright, alright! I really don’t know what to do with you. You’ve caught my attention and now you’re telling me that you won’t tell me about it?” Neil was speechless. “Come on, tell me about it. I really want to know what it is so that I can be happy about it too!”

” jackie drank that poison. He drank half a bottle of that mineral water bottle in one go. Do you think that the amount of poison he took was enough?” Ken started laughing loudly and patted Neil’s shoulder. “How’s this? Are you happy, Brother?”

Chapter 623 “ jackie really drank that poison?” It was too good to be true for Neil as he broke a slow smile. “F*ck! That’s good news alright! He’s poisoned! This poison is a potent one and can cause his body to weaken continuously without him knowing it. He’ll die miserably after a month…!”

“How about it? It’s not too much for you to pay for this news, right?” said Ken as the grin never left his face.

“Of course it’s not too much. I’ll pay for it! F*ck… jackie’s dying soon. The gods must be on my side right now!” Neil laughed happily.

A plan began to formulate inside Neil’s mind. Once jackie was out of the picture, he would ask Ken out and eliminate him.

After all, Ken was acquainted with Selena for the longest time and used to have a good relationship with Selena. Neil was good-looking and prepossessing, but he did not have such a deep relationship with Selena like Ken.

Michael was the least of his concern; a fat pig like him would never get Selena. Hence, once jackie died, Ken would have the highest possibility among the three pursuers.

Neil had nothing to fear so long as Ken would be out of the picture after jackie was gone. He could use money and his own true heart to win over Selena. She would be very distraught after her husband’s

passing, but his passion would surely change Selena’s thoughts about him. She would surely throw herself into his arms!

“Then let’s drink more today,” came Ken’s cool-headed reply. “I’ll tell you the details of the situation in a bit. This Xena can be rather useful in things like these. She actually completed something that we kept failing to complete!”

“Yeah,” replied Neil, “and everybody says bimbos are dumb. I never thought that Xena could be quite quick-witted and Ivan to have quite good insight. We’ve finally gotten rid of jackie!” The excitement was getting the best of Neil as he took his cell-phone out and said, “Let me call Ivan. The more the merrier, and we can treat this as an early celebration! This is our celebration dinner!”

“It’s best if you don’t call Ivan right now. jackie had beaten him up, and he’s now in the hospital with Xena taking care of him.” Ken laughed awkwardly.

“How’s that possible?” Neil was surprised. “Why was he beaten up? Could jackie have known about this matter? That doesn’t seem right… if jackie knows that he’s been poisoned, wouldn’t he ask Ivan for the antidote? Wouldn’t he kill Ivan if he doesn’t have the antidote?”

“Don’t worry. While he was beaten up, it wasn’t about this matter. jackie knew about him and Ben, and he’s found out some things between him and Xena. That’s why.”

Once they entered a private room, Ken sat himself and patted Neil’s shoulder. “Do you want jackie to die much earlier?”

“What kind of question is that?” Neil scoffed. “Of course I want that. I wish that he’s dead right now! I’ve been waiting so long for this day, but now, I’m hopeful! One month… He’ll be six feet under after a month!” Neil’s eyes glimmered with hope.

“I’m glad to hear that. In that case, follow me tomorrow to a place called Sky City…” Ken chuckled and told Neil about how jackie killed Xenos family’s Young Master Quil Xenos of Sky City.

Neil was thrilled when he heard this. “Great! Let’s go early tomorrow. If that’s the case, jackie’s strength would decline. Coupled with the fact that the Xenos family’s masters are rather strong, he’s definitely a goner!”

The two of them enjoyed their drinks to their hearts’ content. The next day, they brought several bodyguards with them and left for Sky City early in the morning.

Chapter 624 Several cars drove toward Sky City the following day.

Sky City was quite far away from Eastfield; it took them two to three hours to even get there by car.

Neil, Ken and the others eventually reached the outskirts of Sky City around twelve at noon.

Sky City was indeed two to three times bigger than Eastfield. Many powerful yet rather extreme people were in this city, thus Neil and the others made sure to be at their best behavior as they walked into this foreign city.

They first found a restaurant and had a simple meal before they started asking around about where the Xenos family was at.

“What? There are two Xenos families here? One is huge and the other is powerless?” Ken was startled at the information given by a passerby they were asking.

The passerby smiled bitterly. “Yes, Sir. There used to be two Xenos families here, but there’s only one left now. Someone had wiped out the bigger Xenos family, and their properties were then sold at a very low price. This person had just left. I think he’s heading for Eastfield!”

“Could Young Master Quil have come from this wiped-out Xenos family?” Ken gulped; he could not believe what he had just heard. This seemed too coincidental. They had just reached this place, yet they were faced with the fact that the Xenos family had been eliminated while their properties were sold at a low price.

“Yes. You guys know Quil?” The passerby was surprised. “Their family was really powerful, but they’ve crossed someone they shouldn’t have. Sigh! What a terrible fate!” The passerby paused here before he continued, “Nonetheless, this person had morals. He only killed the important figures and martial artists in the Xenos family, but most of the workers, children, and old people were released.”

“Young Master Clark, what’s going on? How can the Xenos family be wiped out when they’re so powerful? Apart from that, this person had already returned to Eastfield!”

Neil was speechless, and he took a deep breath after mulling it over. “Goodness me… Could it be that Goddess of War, Lana Zechs wiped out the Xenos family?”

Ken felt that this was highly possible. “Could jackie have speculated that the Xenos family would avenge their fallen young master and, because of that, sought for the Goddess of War’s help to end their family? He might’ve done this to avoid future trouble.”

Neil nodded. “This seems possible. Despite having returned the favor to jackie before, jackie had in fact saved the Goddess of War. Had jackie begged for her help, the Goddess of War won’t have the heart to turn him down.”

Ken was extremely angry. “F*ck! jackie truly is too cunning and prognostic. How could he have foreseen this? He doesn’t have any true strength, relying only on others to do his dirty deed! Doesn’t he feel that troubling the Goddess of War and wasting her precious time is a very shameless thing? He’s too much!”

“Why would he want his dignity if he wants to stay alive?” Neil sighed inwardly. It seemed as though their plan to end jackie’s life much earlier than anticipated, had failed.

“Sirs, what are the both of you talking about? What about the Goddess of War? What about Quil?”

The passerby was stunned. “Do you think the Goddess of War is here? How’s that possible? The person who took out the Xenos family was a very strong middle-aged man!”

“Man?!” Neil and Ken instantly looked at each other. What was this? Was it not Lana?

“Yes, a man. I heard that he’s a very powerful King of War, but I’ve forgotten his name. I wonder how the Xenos family offended a King of War!” came the passerby’s reply.

“King of War?” Neil and Ken were baffled even more. This was getting out of hand.

Chapter 625 Ken was silent for a good few seconds before he took out several hundred dollars and gave it to the passerby. “Thank you for your time, Brother. This is for you to buy cigarettes.”

“Wow, thank you! Thank you, Young Master!” Elated, the man gratefully took the money and walked away.

“Young Master Clark, why do I not understand what’s going on?” Neil looked at Ken, who was in front of him, and prodded, “What should we do now?”

Ken sighed. “What can we do? Everybody in the Xenos family is dead, so we can only return to Eastfield. jackie got lucky this time; he dodged a disaster. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s poisoned. We don’t even have the antidote, and it’ll be too late by the time he notices something is wrong.”

“Yes. It seems that the Xenos family’s young master has offended a King of War. He must’ve been very angry to have dealt such an attack on the Xenos family,” surmised Neil. “He’s ruthless, alright! What we didn’t expect was that this King of War helped out that good-for-nothing jackie.”

Ken also nodded. “This Young Master Xenos should’ve died, though. I heard from Xena that he even kidnapped Fiona and herself, wanting a three-way with them, but jackie managed to get there in time and

killed the young master before it happened.”

“Yes. He might’ve offended the Kind of War’s daughter, and people came looking for him after they investigated what happened!”

Everyone then returned to Eastfield, dispirited at the turn of events.

After a discussion between both men, they bought some fruits and decided to visit Ivan when they reached Eastfield.

…

It was evening when they got to the hospital.

“Young Master Hugo and Young Master Clark, why are you here?” blurted Xena when both men suddenly appeared, walking toward her and Ivan.

“Oh, we’re here to pay Young Master Taylor a visit.” Neil smiled bitterly before sitting down at Ivan’s side. “We went to Sky City today. Regrettably, the Xenos family had offended a King of War from Eastfield, so before we could even look for the Xenos family, the King of War had already sought them out and killed the entire family. We went through all that trouble just to be disappointed.”

“Fck me… jackie is really fcking lucky!” Ivan was dumbstruck when he heard this.

“Nevermind. We can only wait it out at this point. We have twenty-eight more days.” Ken was unhappy, still. He planned to count down these 28 days.

Ivan mulled over his thoughts for a while, and a smirk slowly appeared on his face. “Oh, right. Didn’t jackie say that he’d give Selena an extravagant birthday party? Since this guy loves to gloat about that, why don’t we make things difficult for him so he’d stop halfway?”

Ken soon understood what Ivan meant. “Are you saying we should publicize on his behalf, and that it’ll be much better if everyone in town knows about this?”

“That’s right! Young Master Clark’s really smart. You would think of this…” Ivan nodded. “I’ve thought about it, and publicizing this event is possible. However, your copies must be attractive. You can try to employ those aunties and ask them to help send flyers on your behalf. I believe that this would quickly catch everyone’s attention. Still, this is certainly not enough. We still need to advertise the event on the same-city website…”

Chapter 626 On the following day…

jackie and Selena had just finished breakfast when Ben walked toward them.

Head lowered, Ben stood silent before them—and for a good, too—before he muttered, “Brother-in-law, Sister, I have something to tell you guys. Can we talk outside?”

jackie and Selena looked at each other and wondered if Ben’s mood had improved. They nodded and walked outside with Ben.

Once they stepped outside to the yard, Ben then spoke, “I intended to get myself a job but I’m not highly educated, so I don’t know what I can do. I do plan on opening a shop, but I don’t have any money.”

Ben paused for a moment before he lifted his head and attested, “I’m a man, not a loser in the eyes of others. I want to grow. I now realized I had been a complete bastard who only knows to fool around and take things for granted. When our family was poor and my sister picked up trash just to earn a living, I took the money you earned just to play video games…!”

jackie and Selena glanced at each other, noting that Ben had matured overnight. He was able to reflect on his actions and assessed them carefully.

“I didn’t even have the power to punch the person who stole my lover,” Ben blurted. “I can’t even win a fight with Ivan…!” Ben laughed a bitter laugh, without mirth behind it at all. “It’s meaningless.”

“Why don’t you start a business?” offered jackie after careful deliberation. “I can sponsor you no matter what type of business you want to do, and you never have to worry about paying me back. Just take the money and give it a go.”

jackie did not expect Ben to turn down his offer with a shake of his head. “I don’t want your money. We have two Rolls-Royce Phantom given to us by Miss Sharon because Brother-in-law helped cure her condition. As Mother is getting her car license, leave one for her. I’ll sell mine and get money from it. I want to try operating an internet cafe near the university town. I think that this business suits me as I love playing games.”

Selena nodded. “It’s quite a new car and was gifted to you. Go ahead if you want to sell it, but remember that you won’t have a car once you sell it.”

Ben smiled. “Don’t worry, Sis. The car is so new and it’s worth over seven million, so it won’t be an issue to sell it for six million. I’ll still have some money left after I set up the internet cafe, and by that time, I can simply buy a car at a hundred thousand budget. I now realize that we need to be frugal even though we’re rich. And to think I used to plan how to treat Xena with the finer things in life… Now it’s just a joke to me!”

Both jackie and Selena nodded after they heard what Ben had to say. It seemed that Ben had changed a lot after the turn of events, and it was a good thing for him.

“The car is yours, so feel free to do anything you want with it. Be courageous and do whatever you want to do,” assured Selena as she patted her brother’s shoulder. “Even if you lose money, your sister and brother-in-law will still support you.”

A thought then occurred to jackie as he spoke, “By the way, Ben, don’t tell Mother and Father that Xena poisoned me. I don’t want to worry them. I’m honestly fine. These people had been day-dreaming when they thought that they could poison me.”

“Alright, Brother-in-law. Honestly… Everything is my fault. You and Sister have always been telling me about this, but I thought of her as a kind and nice person. I didn’t even want to face the fact that sometimes, I do feel like something’s wrong with her. It would’ve been better if I broke up with her earlier. I was the one who almost cost Brother-in-law his life!” Ben sighed and made his way to his car.

jackie saw two bodyguards strolling the grounds not far away from them and waved them over.

“Quickly, the Supreme Warrior is calling out to us!” Elaine was happy when she saw jackie waving them over.

Orchid shot Elaine a sharp glare. “Shh, quiet! Don’t address him as Supreme Warrior and call him Master instead. Wouldn’t the Supreme Warrior scold you If others overheard that?” Elaine carefully eyed her surroundings. If others knew that jackie was indeed the Supreme Warrior, jackie might not be able to get the peaceful life he wanted.

Chapter 627 “Ahem, ahem! Sister Orchid, you said it twice…” Elaine bit back a smile before she walked toward jackie.

Orchid was embarrassed. Elaine said it first!

“Master, what can we do for you? Are you going shopping with your lady? Do you need our protection?” gushed Elaine the moment she stood before him.

“My brother-in-law is going out to do something. Both of you, follow him and protect him,” came jackie’s unexpected command.

Ben was startled when he heard this. “No, no, I don’t think there’s a need for this. I’m a man. Why do I need to be protected? It’s normal for Mother and Sister to bring two bodyguards with them when they go out, but why do I need to bring bodyguards? It’s so weird!”

“Hey, look at you! You have a bruise on your forehead and it’s obviously from a fight. How dare you say that you don’t need protection because you’re a man? I think that you’re the one who needs protection the most!” countered Elaine, feeling unappreciated and frowned upon. The Supreme Warrior finally appointed some work to her so she must complete it, no matter what happened. She had to show her best performance.

Ben never thought that a bodyguard would fight back. He rolled his eyes at her. “If that’s the case, I don’t need two female bodyguards following me, right?”

“Hey, are you looking down on women?” Elaine raised her head and said provocatively. “If you’re so capable, fight with me. If you win, I won’t follow you. Otherwise, we stick to Master’s plan; I’ll be watching you from afar and protecting you!”

“Y—You’re a bodyguard! I… I’m a man, and I won’t fight with a woman!” came Ben’s reply, an indirect concession to the female guard.

“See, don’t simply speak when you’re incapable!” Elaine smugly replied, her hands crossed at her chest.

“I…” Unable to come up with a comeback, Ben immediately opened the car door and entered the car.

Both Elaine and Orchid immediately boarded his car. “Let’s go, Young Master Taylor!”

“Why are you sitting beside me?” quipped Ben when Elaine sat at the passenger’s seat.

When he looked at her closely, this woman was pretty and had a good figure. With the seatbelt on, her figure looked sexier. Her long, fair legs were extremely attractive.

Ben was slightly embarrassed when such a beauty sat beside him.

“So what if I sit by your side? It doesn’t affect your driving!” Elaine rolled her beautiful doe eyes as she grinned cheekily. “Hey, who hit you by the way? Do you want me to help get revenge? Don’t worry, I’ll do it for free!”

Chapter 628 Ben was taken aback at this woman’s strong offer, and he had a tight smile on his face. “Nevermind,” he declined. “Even if I do want vengeance, I should be the one to do it.”

“Alright then. I’ve no idea that you still have a backbone!” Elaine then mulled things over and suggested, “If that’s the case, I can help you get stronger whenever you’re free. I’ll train you well and upgrade you, in a sense. What do you think?”

Ben was silent for a short moment before he nodded, a sign of agreement it was. “Sure, I’ll treat it as increasing my physical fitness!”

Back at the residence, Andrew and Fiona walked toward Selena and jackie.

“Selena, where did your brother go? Did Xena really get together with Ivan? We couldn’t sleep at all last night because of this. We’re afraid that your brother might lose his mind and do something foolish!” Fiona frowned, worry written all over her face. “From what I’ve noticed, he didn’t even have breakfast.”

“Don’t worry, Mother,” Selena assured her, an equally convincing smile on her face as she did. “I feel that this is a good thing for him!”

“A good thing? Your brother’s fiancee got together with another man and almost killed him. Our entire family’s worried about him, and you say this is a good thing?” Fiona was speechless; she had no idea why Selena would say something like this.

“Such a woman had never been good enough for my brother. I’ve told him before that Xena’s just a golddigger and that her social connections are rather shady. Apart from that, she had questionable

relationships with several people in the motor robbers. It’s just a shame that none of you believed in what I had to say.”

Selena laughed before she added, “Brother has finally grown up. He even went out to sell his car.”

“Sell his car? Why does he want to sell it? That’s a very expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom!” Fiona was getting more stupefied. She did not know what happened to Ben.

“Well, Brother wants to earn a living himself. He wants to sell the car and open an internet cafe…” Selena then explained the situation to Fiona and Andrew. “ jackie wanted to give him money to start a business, but he declined jackie’s offer. Doesn’t that sound like he’s so much more mature now?”

“Definitely! This guy has finally matured after such a blow. I hope he can move on from Xena soon.” Andrew nodded in satisfaction, obviously satisfied with Ben’s new mindset.

“I better not meet Xena anymore after this! This girl’s daring enough to bully my son. I’ll slap her so many times if I ever see her again…! She’s gone overboard this time!” fumed Fiona, her hands at her hips as she spoke.

“Mother, I’ve already slapped her. If this isn’t enough to satisfy you, you can slap her all you want the next time you see her!” Selena commented, a small smile on her face as she did.

“Alright, let’s go to work.” jackie smiled, and they soon left in their car to go to work.

…

jackie eventually reached the Drake family’s residence and walked toward Tanya’s villa.

The last thing he expected was to see Tanya, Yvonne, and Sharon walking out from the villa once he was at the entrance.

jackie was dumbfounded when he saw Sharon. This woman had been visiting a little too frequently these days. She was obviously here for him.

Chapter 629 “ jackie, you’re finally here. I missed you so much!” Sharon instantly ran up to jackie and hugged his arm, shaking it as she did.

jackie instantly felt something was wrong. He almost passed out when he turned to look at his side.

Why did Sharon wear a deep V-neck dress for no reason?! It was quite obvious she was trying to seduce him.

More importantly, this woman was doing this on purpose. She practically glued herself against his arm and rubbed against it incessantly. Any other man would fail to hold himself back.

“Really? Why do you miss me?” jackie smiled awkwardly as he tried to push her away gently. He then walked backward and made sure there was a good distance between the two.

“Do I need a reason to miss you?” Blush seared across Sharon’s cheeks.

This was, in fact, Yvonne’s idea; she knew no man did not like this. Since Sharon had explicitly expressed her feelings for jackie, Yvonne thought she could push her to be bolder. She could dress in an exposing way and act exaggeratingly.

Apart from that, Yvonne also told Sharon that she should always be in close proximity with jackie to bring them ‘closer’ together.

“Oh…” Yvonne was speechless when she saw this situation. While she did ask Sharon to be proactive, dress skimpily and get closer to jackie, she never thought Sharon would go overboard and latched onto jackie like that.

“She’s rather proactive. I hope this works!” said the embarrassed Tanya.

Both of them smiled before walking toward jackie.

With her smile still on her face, Tanya began, “ jackie, we’re going to the amusement park later. As always, we’ll be bringing only you, and no other bodyguards! Don’t worry, I’ll pay for everything if you accompany me out to play!”

“I’ve never really been to places like that before!” said jackie with a faint smile. “Since Miss Tanya wants to go, then I’ll spend time and accompany the pretty lady!”

“Oh, not bad! I didn’t know that you, an old antique, know how to praise women!” Tanya was rather elated when she heard jackie’s choice of words. jackie praised her as the pretty lady. Did he genuinely feel she was pretty? If that was the case, was there a chance he was harboring a slight infatuation with him?

If jackie knew his nonchalant words caused Tanya—this young and pretty lady—to have unrealistic fantasies, he might be speechless.

“Old antique? Am I that old?” jackie laughed; this was his first time being called as such.

“I mean the way you think. I’m not saying you’re old!” Tanya glanced at jackie secretly. She recalled the time when their lips accidentally met when they were wrestling; his lips on her red ones.

Their lips met not once, but twice. She got very shy whenever she thought of that moment, and her heart would beat so much faster.

Tanya bit her alluring bottom lip and added, “Actually, slightly older men like you are mature and steady men. These men are the most charming!”

It was then when jackie recalled the time when he drank with Yvonne, and at that same time, he saw Yvonne’s abashed face. His expression immediately turned weird.

What happened that day was purely an accident. He had no idea something like that would happen. When he saw Yvonne’s abashed expression, was it possible that she had fallen for him because of what happened that night?

If that was the case, this would be troubling, and Sharon was already making him feel uncomfortable. How could jackie handle it if Yvonne was feeling the same way? jackie suddenly had a bad feeling at this moment!

Chapter 630 “Yes, Tanya. What you say is very true. I feel that he’s charming and manly. I wouldn’t fall for him at first sight if he wasn’t!” It shocked them that Sharon would still go up to jackie—even after he basically tried to get away from her—and look at him like an obsessed fan.

jackie felt like he was slowly losing his mind. “Miss Sharon, you’re a woman. You need to have the reserved attitude of a woman!” This was Tanya’s house, thus he could only give her sound advice instead of chasing her away.

However, it seemed difficult for him to change her mind in such a short time when he saw her proactive ways.

“Really?” Sharon frowned. “Do I need to be reserved? Will you like me if I’m reserved? But didn’t Yvonne say that men like proactive women? She even told me that it’s difficult for men to pursue women, but it’s easier if women pursue men!”

jackie’s face suddenly darkened. “How clever you are, Yvonne Drake. You even taught people how to get into a relationship, huh?”

Flabbergasted, Yvonne sharply turned to Sharon and growled, “Sharon, why are you such a fool? Damn!”

Once she realized what had happened, Sharon sheepishly replied, “Sorry, my bad. I was careless and blurted everything!”

She then quickly added, “I’ll pay for everything later when we go out to play! I’ll pay for food and the amusement park tickets!”

“That’s much better!” Yvonne folded her arms across her chest, inwardly pleased at the offer.

“Let’s go!”

…

The four of them eventually arrived at the amusement park.

jackie did not think they would see a few aunties handing out flyers once they parked the car and reached the park’s entrance.

“They’re handing out flyers on such a hot day… That must be difficult!” The four of them knew that these people had a difficult job, thus they accepted the flyer without much thought.

jackie thought that this was a flyer about the amusement park’s activities so he merely gave it a once- over.

He was stunned when he actually digested the content.

“What’s going on?” The trio also looked at their flyer once they noticed jackie rooted on the spot.

“Is this for real? jackie, you’re so romantic! Did you design this poster?”

There were some romantic heart-shaped photos on the flyer, and there were words typed in as well.

[Look forward to it! It’s 27 more days to the birthday of Taylor family’s No. 1 beauty, Miss Selena Taylor!]

[The Goddess of War’s savior, jackie White, will hold an extravagant birthday party in 27 more days! We welcome everybody to the party!]

Such were the words written on the flyers.

“I’m so envious of Selena! This is so romantic of jackie! He’s promoting the birthday party like this!” Sharon looked at the flyers and looked at jackie with hearts in her eyes. “Not only are you manly, but you’re a gentle and romantic person too!”

Chapter 631 “I never thought you’d publicize your wife’s birthday party like this. jackie, your wife will surely be so happy with this!” Truthfully, Yvonne envied Selena to an extent. jackie was already advertising the party far before the event started. She would love it if a man were to treat her this way.

“It’s just that, these…words are too high-profile, too much. There’s even a countdown to the date of the party. Moreover, it’s stated here that you’re the ‘Goddess of War’s savior’ and that your wife is ‘the Taylor family’s number one beauty’…” spoke Tanya, a tight smile on her face as she did.

“Don’t you think your advertisement is a little too exaggerating? With this, the entire city knows that you’re the one who saved the Goddess of War’s life.”

jackie merely offered a dry smile, though his expression was darkening. “I didn’t make these flyers. While I do want my wife’s birthday party to stir the entire city and this was the surprise I prepared for her, I didn’t make these flyers.”

“Could your family have done this? How about your mother? Fiona? Andrew?” Tanya had initially assumed jackie could pull such a romantic move, but the more she thought it over, the more she realized that this was not the case. jackie, after all, was a rather low-profile kind of guy.

If the Goddess of War had not admitted that jackie saved her life before, nobody would have known about it until today.

After all, this was something to be proud of. If somebody else was in jackie’s shoes, they would have told everybody about this.

jackie, however, had never taken something like this as his capital to show-off.

“That can’t be; they’re old. Why would they stick their noses in my business?” jackie’s wry smile dropped into a frown. “Not many people know about this as I’ve just mentioned it briefly the other day. Even Old Master Taylor doesn’t know about it. Why would somebody publicize it?”

“ jackie, look!” At this moment, Yvonne pointed at a taxi that drove past the park.

jackie’s eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets when he realized what it was about. What was going on? Why were such publicizing words continuously broadcasted on the taxi? If that was the case, did the entire city know already?

“ jackie, are you lying to us? You must’ve spent a lot of money on this intense advertising. Why would anyone do this, apart from trying to be romantic to your wife and for the surprise factor? Who’d spend money to publicize this party on your behalf without any reason?”

Tanya looked at jackie with a grin as though she saw through him. “Don’t pretend and deny it. You’re really good at acting and keeping secrets about this event.”

jackie was speechless. Why did that—‘don’t pretend and deny it’—sounded weird?

He thought about it. “There’s only one other person who knows about this: Xena…:”

‘But if it was hers and Ivan’s idea, why are they willing to spend money to help publicize this party?’ jackie thought to himself. ‘They don’t have any motive to do this. I’ve given Ivan a beating, so they must hate me. Why are they still spending money and doing something like this?’

A thought then occurred to jackie as his eyes lit up. He knew why.

Only him, Selena, and Ben knew he was not poisoned, while both Xena and Ivan were sure he was already poisoned.

If that was the case, the medication would take effect around thirty days from the day he consumed it. Was it a coincidence that the day so happened to be Selena’s birthday?

So, both sly dogs—Ivan and Xena—would want to make a big fuss on this matter. They were waiting to see how jackie would fail on that day. What sort of a scene would it be if Selena’s birthday became his death?

Now they even went ahead to publicize the party. Even if it was canceled, jackie and the Taylor family would be the ones to lose face.

They would be even happier if the party happened as usual.

“What an amazing scheme this is.” jackie smiled coldly once he was able to conclude everything. It seemed that the other party was destined to be disappointed.

Chapter 632 “What do you mean by ‘scheme’? Do you know who it is?” asked Tanya right that instant.

After all, Tanya’s grandfather had told her to help jackie with everything she got. This person had an important identity. She felt like jackie was getting more and more elusive. It was this mysterious feeling that made her want to know him more. She believed that as long as she proactively involved herself with jackie, she would then know his true identity.

Judging from jackie’s response to this flyer, it seemed as though this publicity was done as a deliberate attack against him. Still, she had no idea how such publicity could be considered as an attack.

“I don’t know who it is, but I have my suspicion. Nevermind, let’s go! it’s time to go in and enjoy ourselves!” jackie smiled indifferently and walked toward the amusement park’s entrance.

Tanya frowned as she looked at jackie’s figure.

She could see that jackie had made his guesses but did not want to say anything.

“Stir the entire city?” After mulling it over, Tanya soon realized that ‘stir the entire city’ here meant that the more the event was marketed, the more extravagant the event had to be.

This meant that he had to spend more money. If jackie only wanted to spend around ten to twenty million, that would not stir the city. Not even a hundred million could achieve that.

“Wouldn’t jackie lose face if this advertisement was marketed too heavily? These people wanted jackie to lose his face and unable to bear the cost of such a grand event so they could make fun of him! This person is a low-life, alright. They rather spend money to help jackie market the party so that jackie would lose face!”

A cold smirk appeared on Tanya’s face when she came to that revelation. The other party might not know this, but the Drake family had been thinking of ways to get into jackie’s good books. It did not matter if it was ten billion or a hundred billion; they would take any amount and help jackie as though that amount was nothing to her family.

Tanya knew jackie must have thought of this, too. She ran up to jackie, catching up to him, and assured, “Don’t stress over it, jackie. It’s a good thing that other people helped you with the advertisement part. They helped cut costs!”

“That’s right!” jackie smiled, not wanting to say anything else.

At this moment, Sharon had already bought four tickets and gave one to each person.

Meanwhile…

“Who’s that guy?” said one random park-goer. “F*ck, I envy him… He has three beautiful ladies around him,” he muttered.

The other people immediately looked over and were also very envious when they saw what he saw. “Hey, all three of them are beauties! One of them not only has a nice figure, but her eyes look so enchanting too. I wonder what these women taste like.”

“Don’t even think about it. These women looked like they come from rich families, so it’s only natural that this man is just as rich. Otherwise, why would these women go out with him? Normal people like us can only look!” One of them smiled bitterly. He looked at Tanya’s long legs and under her short skirt, and he gulped wantonly.

Chapter 633 These park-goers could only look at them from afar.

Meanwhile…

A man, not far away from where they were, overheard their conversation. This man had several young men and women with him. “Isn’t that Miss Drake?” the man spoke.

He knew it was Tanya the moment he noticed her, and he was startled to see her here. “Tsk, tsk! And it seems Tanya’s not the only one here. The beautiful Yvonne and Miss Sharon are also here. What a sight this is; makes me jealous just looking at it.”

“Really? And who’s that man, Young Master Lowe?” One of his companions, a man from a second-class aristocratic family, asked with a nonchalant smile. “He’s so lucky to be with three such beautiful women.”

Young Master Lowe came from a family that was rather rich. Still, his family was a third-class aristocratic family, thus the only thing he could afford to do was look at jackie’s female companions, even though he liked pretty ladies like Tanya and Yvonne.

He knew there was a chance he would fail should he even tried to pursue these ladies.

After all, these ladies have turned down many young masters without being given a chance.

“Well, this lad has been getting quite the attention lately. This is the person on the flyer!” Young Master Lowe had one of the flyers he received at the entrance in his hands, thus he and his companions discussed it.

They never thought they would meet this person so soon.

“Oh, so this is the son-in-law who married into the Taylor family!” The man suddenly understood what had happened. “F*ck… He’s really lucky with the opposite gender! He’s able to be with beautiful women no matter where he went, and even his wife is a beautiful woman. What a life that must be… If only I was him!”

The man then studied the flyer closely and sourly commented, “Stir the entire town? He’s just a son-in- law who married into the family. Can he actually achieve that?

“I heard that he’s a head commander in the army and had already spent over a hundred million on other things. He shouldn’t have much left with him; probably around tens of millions. Can he genuinely host a party that’ll ‘stir the entire city’? This advertisement should’ve cost him millions since it’s all over the place!”

“My thoughts exactly. I saw several bus stations with this advertisement in the advertisement spaces. They must’ve been put up just recently!”

“He needs to spend lots of money on the advertisements,” blurted a young woman among the company. “How much money has he left for the birthday party?”

“That’s right, that’s absolutely correct. If the aim’s to stir up the entire city, doesn’t it have to be several levels higher than the Old Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday dinner? At the very least, it should be held at a very expensive bar. Old Master Taylor’s birthday dinner wasn’t hosted in an extravagant way, but it

did stir up the entire city!” Another man nodded. He felt that jackie was being too much despite not having that much money.

“Let’s not bother too much about this; there’s just a few days left until the party. We’ll go and take a look by then. I want to see how he can stir up the entire city!” Young Master Lowe would be lying if he said he was not being bitter at this point. “He might make a fool out of himself by then. It’d be shameful if this party is poorly held.”

Back to jackie and the young women…

“Let’s go and play the carousel first. There aren’t many people queuing there!” Tanya smiled and looked at jackie as though asking for permission. What she did not know was that they had attracted many envious eyes and hatred for jackie.

jackie, however, kept staring at a middle-aged man with dark glasses and a cap not far away from him. “That man over there seems like trouble.”

The man had a cane at hand that he kept pointing aimlessly on the ground. He seemed to be blind yet was tailing behind a group of good-looking women.

Chapter 634 “How’s that possible? He’s just a blind person,” countered Tanya as she looked at the blind man. “What’s wrong with him?”

“Yes. It’s rather sad that he turned blind at this age,” muttered Sharon as she looked at the same man, too.

jackie internally facepalmed when he heard the reasoning of these women. “Look carefully,” jackie insisted, “there’s something wrong with his cane. Try and think why is he constantly behind girls wearing skirts?”

Yvonne was the first one to react after hearing jackie’s login, and she instantly sped toward the supposed blind man with the cane. “F*ck! This guy is a pervert,” she snapped, “and he’s secretly taking photos!” Yvonne hated perverts like this.

“How’s that possible? He’s actually…!” Sharon was just as angry when she finally realized what was going on. Sharon, along with jackie and Tanya, followed behind Yvonne.

Yvonne was the first to walk up to the man and she pushed him down to the ground with such force. “You pervert!”

“Ouch!” cried the man once he collided against the ground. He then yelped, “Help! Somebody’s bullying the blind!”

His cry for help attracted the attention of the group of young women walking in front of him, and these women turned around to look at them. The man’s yelp had also attracted the attention of other passersby.

The young women, not knowing what was going on, felt utterly terrible for the blind man. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you bullying a blind man?!” scolded one of the women that the supposed blind man was tailing behind, and Yvonne felt bile coming up to her throat.

“Yes, this is too much! Is this woman crazy? Why did she push the blind man onto the ground without any reason? She’s really ruthless! What’s in that head of hers?!” Several other people began hurling insults and angry remarks toward Yvonne.

“Ouch, ouch! It’s so painful!” The man pretended to feel around on the ground before he got a hold of his cane. He then tapped it several times against the ground before stretching it under Yvonne’s dress.

Yvonne became more irate once she noticed his indecency; this bastard was extremely daring. He had the gall to stretch the cane under her dress when he saw so many people were speaking on behalf of

him.

“Bastard!” Yvonne immediately walked away and hid away from him.

At this moment, two men squeezed their way out from the crowd and scolded Yvonne, “What’s wrong with you, woman? How can you scold the blind person when you pushed him down?!”

Unable to put her thoughts into words, Yvonne walked up to the man and took his cane away. “I won’t let him leave. He’s a pervert, and this cane is his instrument to take photos! I saw him secretly taking photos from under their skirts!”

“Hey, why is this woman snatching my cane?” The blind man immediately yelled loudly. “It’s bad enough she pushed me down, but she even stole my cane and lied about me!”

“How’s that possible? This blind man is a pervert who secretly takes photos?” Some of the people started suspecting what Yvonne said. After all, who would push another person down without any reason?

“Yvonne’s telling the truth! He’s a piece of trash that takes photos of girls under their skirts!” Tanya pushed her way through the crowd as she yelled in defense of her cousin, Yvonne.

Chapter 635 “That’s right. We saw everything with our own eyes. She gets nothing good for being kind to you guys.” Sharon also walked forward. “How can you all say she’s bullying the blind person when she’s actually helping you?!”

It was then when a man among the crowd studied Sharon carefully before he exclaimed, “Hey, isn’t this the eldest young miss of the George family? I heard that she had turned into a pretty woman. I wouldn’t be able to recognize her if I hadn’t heard her voice. She’s really a pretty lady!”

“This pretty lady must be Miss Tanya then, right?” another man exclaimed. “I was wondering why she seemed so familiar… It’s really Miss Tanya!”

Some other people began to recognize Tanya as well, thus began the exchanged comments about her. They had no idea that they would meet such an important person.

“I believe what Miss Tanya said. Miss Tanya is a member of the Drake family, the daughter of the richest man in Eastfield. Why would she lie to us?” a woman spoke up in Tanya’s defense.

“Yes. I heard that Miss Tanya would always stand up against injustice, and she’s very active in doing charity work. Why would she lie to us?” Several other women also went along with what she said.

The blind man started panicking when he heard his and instantly asserted, “Hey, it’s all a misunderstanding. It’s a misunderstanding! This is just a cane! I can’t even see the road, so how could I have purposely stretched this under a skirt? Even if I stretched the cane under their skirts, that’s just an accident. How could you say that I did it on purpose?!” He paused here before continuing, “Apart from that, I’m blind. If you say that I’m secretly taking photos, why would I take photos? I can’t even see them!”

One of the three men who pushed their way through the crowd immediately said, “Yes, this woman misunderstood him for sure!”

Another man stepped up to the plate. “Young lady, you’re really kind, but how can you wrongly accuse someone else? Being heroically is the right thing to do and proclaiming positive energy isn’t wrong, but accusing someone baselessly is bad!”

The last of the three went to the blind man and spoke, “Hey, Brother. It’s better if you don’t walk around in such hot weather. There’s a slightly cooler place over there. Come, let me take you there.”

“Oh, thank you! So it’s true that there are more kind people than bad ones in this world!” chirped the blind man in a seemingly grateful manner, and this moved many of the onlookers. Indeed, there truly were more kind people in this world.

“What…?” Yvonne was speechless. Was it possible that she and the rest were wrong about him? What this blind person said seemed to make sense. Why would he take photos of other people’s underwear when he was blind? This did not make sense even if he was a pervert.

“Wait!” Just as they were wondering what to do next, jackie pushed his way out from the crowd and stopped the man.

The man supporting the blind man was slightly stunned. He smiled earnestly at jackie. “What is it, Brother? Is there anything you need from us?”

jackie smiled indifferently. “You can’t leave yet because I have unanswered questions. Why would he, a blind man as he claimed, keep stretching his cane under the skirts of girls wearing them? Why didn’t he stretch his cane to those wearing long pants?” jackie chuckled. “Don’t tell me that it’s coincidental!”

The blind man immediately became defensive. “Young man, don’t talk nonsense. I can’t even see, and you’re smearing my name. How would I know what’s going on?”

“So you’re blind, are you? Do you think that you can pretend to be blind by wearing a pair of dark glasses?” jackie laughed and immediately stretched out his hand to take the man’s dark glasses.

Startled, the man’s body jolted at the abrupt move. He then began to move his hands around as though looking for something. “Young man, where are my glasses? Give it back to me! Why do you want to snatch a blind man’s things?!”

Chapter 636 jackie smiled coldly inside when he saw how the blind man behaved. He directly punched toward the person’s nose.

However, jackie punched at a very slow speed this time.

“What are you doing?” The man supporting the blind man immediately caught jackie’s arm. “Not only did you rob a blind man, but you also want to beat him too? It’s unreasonable for you to act this way! You’re too inhumane!”

“if my guesses are correct, it seems like the three of you are working together with him! Am I right?!”

jackie laughed. He slightly waved his hand and got rid of the other party’s hand. He looked at them sharply. “Go on, continue acting!”

The two men immediately walked forward. “Young man, you are going overboard. What nonsense are you talking about? To us, you’re just a crazy person. What are you talking about when you say that we’re a group? It didn’t matter that you bullied a blind man, how dare you smear our name as well?”

“That’s right, hit him!” said the man who caught jackie’s arm earlier.

The three of them immediately surrounded jackie.

However, jackie kicked them and they immediately flew out. They dropped on the ground several meters away and each vomited a mouthful of blood.

“How’s this possible? This man is too strong!” The people surrounding them exclaimed as they were extremely scared.

“It seems like he’s one of the Drake family’s bodyguards. The people of the Drake family are really strong!” A man said.

“So he’s the Drake family’s bodyguard. No wonder he would take action!” Another woman also said.

The blind man turned around to take a look. He was so frightened that his face turned pale while he pointed his cane left and right. He acted calm and pretended as if he knew nothing.

“Ah!” jackie held his hand in a fist and directly punched it at the man.

“Oh god, I’m sorry. Please forgive me!” The blind man’s legs weakened and he knelt in front of jackie when he saw jackie punching at him.

“Aren’t you blind? How do you know that I’m about to punch you?” jackie smiled coldly. His act of pretending to hit the person did cause this blind man to show his true colors. After all, he knew how scary jackie was after seeing how far those three flew after being punched.

“Brother, forgive me! I’m not blind, I’m really not blind!” The man knelt and begged for forgiveness. He obviously dared not continue pretending to be blind.

“Oh my god, they are really a group!” Somebody said angrily after they discovered the truth.

“It seems that we’ve misunderstood the girls. These people are really perverts!”

The girls who the blind man secretly took photos of were extremely frightened. They misunderstood Yvonne earlier and this caused them to immediately feel extremely guilty.

One of them immediately ran over and picked the thin cane up. She looked at the handle and said in surprise, “Oh my god, there’s a button here. There must be a small camera at the bottom.”

Many people surrounded her and after a while, they finally saw a small camera at the bottom part of the cane.

jackie smiled indifferently. He directly stepped on the thigh of the man who pretended to be blind. “Speak, where are the photos you took?”

The man said with a bitter expression on his face. “The photos I took…took are automatically saved inside. There’s an internal memory card inside used to save this!”

Chapter 637 ”What are those photos for?” jackie smiled coldly and continued asking. “I don’t think it’s for you to look at

by yourself, right?”

The man looked at the others who used all of their energy to climb up from the ground before nodding. “Yes, this is for the four of us to look at. We were curious!”

“Curious?” jackie’s expression turned cold and he exerted even more force on the person’s thigh.

“Ah!” The man immediately shouted loudly. He was in so much pain that the veins on his forehead popped up.

Crack!

The noise of bones breaking could be heard so clearly.

“Oh my god, such great strength!”

“Yes, this Drake family’s bodyguard is not a simpleton. It’s so scary that he can break this man’s leg with one step!”

“offending the people from the Drake family is suicidal. If a member of the Drake family wants to kill someone, it’s no different from killing an ant!”

The people surrounding them started discussing what happened.

“Miss Tanya, Miss Sharon, and this pretty sister, thank you all very much!” The group of girls immediately walked forward to thank jackie and the others.

“you’re welcome. I was born like this. How could I do nothing when such an incident was happening before me?” Tanya laughed and continued saying, “However, it’s best if you guys are more careful in the future. Don’t empathize with others when you think that they are blind. All of you have to observe carefully if this person is really blind or is just acting blind.”

“Yes, thank you Miss Tanya for teaching us a lesson. We understand!” The group of girls nodded.

jackie took the cane over and held onto it with all his strength. The handle of the cane then broke into several pieces after which he took the internal memory card out.

jackie knelt and said to the man in front of him after breaking the internal memory card. “Tell me the truth or you might not be able to protect your other leg!”

“Ah!” The man almost fainted in pain. He kept yelling loudly as it was too painful. How was it possible for him to continue speaking to jackie while gritting his teeth? It was considered good that he had not fainted.

The other three men wanted to surround and attack jackie. However, they were so frightened that they dared not speak a word when they witnessed this scene. They lowered their head and stood there, wishing that they would disappear on that spot.

“It’s best if the three of you come over and explain yourself. If you don’t tell me the truth, I will kill all four of you!” jackie waved at the three men.

One of them gritted their teeth and when he raised his head, he seemed more confident. “Young man, it’s best if you don’t cause this matter to escalate. You’re just a bodyguard of the Drake family. Nothing good will come to you if this matter escalates! Apart from that, wasn’t the internal memory card already destroyed by you? What do you still want to do?”

“are you guys threatening him?” Tanya started smiling before jackie could say more. “He’s the bodyguard of my Drake family. You guys even wanted to take photos of my sister, Yvonne. You’re not offending her, it’s the Drake family. Do you think that we’ll be afraid?”

“If this issue is escalated, the Drake family might not be able to bear the consequences!”

They originally thought that these men would be afraid when Tanya mentioned the Drake family.

However, they had no idea that this man still smiled coldly and said. “Have you heard of the Kingston Hall?”

“So you guys are from the Kingston Hall! No wonder you are so arrogant!” Tanya’s face darkened after she heard what they said.

Chapter 638 ”are you afraid now? Other useless families might be afraid of your Drake family but the people from the Kingston Hall are not afraid of you!” The man started laughing loudly when he saw Tanya’s darkened face.

“Is the Kingston Hall strong? Stronger than your family?” jackie frowned and had a serious expression.

He knew clearly that Tanya was a fearless person and constantly loved to create a sensation for others. He had never seen her, afraid.

However, Tanya was afraid of what was going on today. This made him feel weird.

Was it possible that these hidden powers were stronger than the Drake family?

Tanya looked at jackie and explained softly, “This Kingston Hall has a huge number of followers and is considered as one of the more notable powers in this Eastfield. Apart from that, they have quite a large amount of good martial artists. Their power can fight against that of our Drake family. If we really start a fight with them, we do not have the grasp as to who will win!”

Yvonne also immediately nodded and said, “Actually this is not the most important part. The most crucial point is that we’ve got a mutual understanding with these powers in the dark. They develop theirs and we develop ours. It’s fine as long as nothing happens.” Yvonne paused here before continuing. “Of course, it’s nothing if it’s just small friction. However, if this matter escalates, there will only be negative results for us. Even if they don’t go all out and have a big fight with us, our power will also be weakened by then.”

Tanya smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, if our Drake family is weakened, the title of Eastfield’s number one family would need to go to somebody else.

jackie understood something after he heard them. It seems that the Drake family was not afraid of them, they did not dare to fight them and their ability was almost the same. If this was the case, how could they fight?

However, he might not be afraid even though the Drake family was afraid.

Without considering how to get rid of the Kingston Hall, whatever these people did could not be let go so easily.

Right now, the other party was very arrogant and everybody was looking. The effect of this on the people was very huge.

“So, let’s just drop this matter here and let us leave, alright?” The man did not dare continue instigating Tanya, he only wanted to leave quickly with the guy who pretended to be blind.

“do you have other photos? How’s it possible that the ones I destroyed are the only ones that you took? What about those that you took previously?” jackie smiled and asked.

“Young man, don’t go too overboard. You’re just a bodyguard. What good will provoking a power like Kingston Hall bring you?” The man stared at jackie angrily and threatened him.

“I’m just a bodyguard but I’m also a man. I can just be involved in whatever I don’t like whenever I want!” jackie shrugged his shoulders as if he did not care. “I heard that there are many small groups under a big organization. You shouldn’t be from the Kingston Hall, right? You are only from some small groups under their control, right?”

The gaze in the guy’s eyes looked unstable when he heard what jackie said. jackie had obviously said the right thing.

He said after looking at the people beside him. “Young man, don’t say whatever you want. Although we’re from the Green Sky Hall under the Kingston Hall control, we are not people you can provoke!”

Chapter 639 ”Green Sky Hall?” jackie thought about it and said, “Fine, you guys can go back first. Go back and tell the people in the Green Sky Hall that I’m going over tomorrow. Today, we have to settle this issue and come up with a good reason. If not, you can’t blame me for any action that I will take!”

“Fine, young man, you were the one who said this. Tomorrow, come to our Green Sky Hall alone and we’ll be waiting for you there!” The man relaxed inwardly. At least, he and his friends could leave right now.

In his eyes, jackie was trying to find a way out when he said that he was going to the Green Sky Hall alone to cause them trouble.

He estimated that jackie was not daring enough to go to the Green Sky Hall alone tomorrow. After all, if he really provoked the Green Sky Hall, that meant that he was provoking the Kingston Hall. Whatever jackie said was to find a way out for himself so that Tanya, who liked to come forward, would not be embarrassed.

After he said those, the three men picked the other man up, whose leg was broken, and quickly left.

“You…you won’t really go tomorrow, right? There’s nothing scary about the Green Sky Hall but if you go there and make things worse, it would be considered as provoking the Kingston Hall!”

Yvonne could not help but remind jackie. “After all, I heard that the head of the Green Sky Hall and the head of the Kingston Hall are relatives. Because of this reason, the Green Sky Hall is developing quickly even though it had just been set up. The head of the Green Sky Hall is an extremely domineering and cunning person!”

jackie nodded after he heard this. “Don’t worry. You guys can ignore this matter. Right now, this is my personal business!”

“Personal business?” Yvonne was embarrassed after she heard this. She was the one who rushed forward to help those young ladies. As a result, she was misunderstood and despised by so many people. Fortunately, jackie stepped in and exposed the other party in time. If not, it would be very difficult for her to do the explanation.

She was quite grateful that jackie took action just now. After all, jackie helped her, if not, it would have been difficult to explain herself.

Now, at least everybody knows that she was innocent.

She had no idea jackie would say that this was his personal matter.

“Don’t worry, jackie is very good. I’m not clear about Kingston Hall but he’s definitely not afraid of this Green Sky hall!” Tanya smiled softly and looked at jackie, who was beside her.

Previously, they hid in the woods outside the city and saw the scary scene with their own eyes. They were 300 masters from the Eagle Clan. Among them was one of the Four Fighters, the baldy.

In the end, jackie only used ten minutes to take out all the opponents.

“Alright, I’m just afraid that something will happen to jackie if he goes alone!” Yvonne was still worried so she said to Tanya. “Tanya, why don’t we tell your father about this and bring more people with us. Even if it’s just a negotiation, it will definitely be much better!”

“Yes, don’t be afraid of them. I’ll go back and tell my father about this too. I will also bring some bodyguards and go with you guys!” Sharon immediately nodded and said.

“I can go alone. You guys don’t need to worry and just enjoy playing. Didn’t you say that you want to play the merry-go-round? Why don’t you go quickly?” jackie smiled bitterly and felt warm in his heart toward the care of these three women.

Chapter 640 ”This guy is really one of a kind. I’m worried about him but he seems as if nothing happened!” Sharon pursed her mouth and went to line up in the queue.

“ jackie, come over too!” Tanya ran behind jackie and pushed him over when she saw that he did not join them in the queue.

“Uh, it’s fine, you guys go ahead and play by yourself. I feel that this is a children’s game and it’s too childish!” jackie smiled bitterly and was a little helpless.

“Hey, are you calling us childish?” Yvonne turned around and rolled her eyes at jackie. “I don’t care. Since we’re already here today, you need to at least accompany us and play all the games.”

“That’s right! We will let you experience being a child like us for a day!” Tanya also immediately said.

“ jackie, listening to your tone. Is it possible that you’ve never been to an amusement park?” Sharon thought and could not help but asked.

jackie smiled bitterly and was slightly lamenting. “Yes, I’ve wanted to come to this place since I was young. However, my family was poor so I could only look from the outside as others played inside. After I grew up, I got too busy with work. I started sending takeaways and later on, I became a soldier. So I’ve never been to such a place,”

“Then this is just right. You can fulfill the regrets you had when you were younger. We have to play every game at least once!” Sharon said with a smile.

“By the way, jackie, where’s your father? Why haven’t we seen him? Why haven’t you mentioned him?” Tanya asked curiously after she thought about it.

jackie’s face darkened when he heard this. He said with a darkened expression, “Think of him as if he’s dead. I don’t have a father…”

Tanya and Yvonne met each other’s eyes and they stopped talking about this matter. They could see that jackie was not only angry when he mentioned his father, he had hatred in his eyes.

They did not understand what happened to jackie previously that caused him to have such hatred toward his father.

“Go, it’s our turn!” They immediately changed the subject when they saw that the door had opened and they could go to play the merry-go-round.

The three beauties took jackie and they played many games before reaching the ghost house.

“Let’s go, we can go back now!”

Tanya said with a slight smile. “We’ve played everything!”

“Yes, we can leave now as it’s not early!” Sharon also said with a smile.

“Wait, didn’t you guys say that we’re playing everything for at least once?”

jackie could not help but smile when he saw this situation. He pointed at the ghost house in front of them. “You guys haven’t played this?”

“Let’s just let go of this. There’s nothing fun about this!” Tanya said with a smile.

“Yes, it’s really scary even when you listen to the voice outside. This is not fun, let’s go!” Sharon was also embarrassed.

“I think that the both of you are too timid and you dare not go in!” jackie laughed. “I had no idea that you guys were daring enough to ride roller coasters but not the ghost house!”

“I really want to play but I come with Tanya every time I’m here. She’s not daring enough to play this and how meaningless it is for me to play alone!” Yvonne looked forward to it.

Chapter 641 “Have you ever tried this before?” jackie said, looking at Yvonne Drake.

“Hmm, I always wanted to try it but I never got the chance to!” Yvonne said and smiled forcefully.

“Then let’s go together! I am quite curious as to what it’s like there. I am quite certain that there are no ghosts on this earth. Even if there were, I wouldn’t be afraid because I think if one was truly good, he would be able to slay any devil that may come his way!” said jackie nonchalantly.

“Yeah, let’s give it a go, but promise that you’ll take care of us if anything happens?” Sharon Geroge interjected. It was a rare opportunity to hang out with jackie, and she really would not have missed it for the world.

“Yes, if you are here, I would really try it!”

Tanya laughed too and said, “I am indeed quite curious. I heard that the ghosts are all in fact humans playing dress-up. How scary can they really be!”

“let’s go then!” jackie remarked and went into the haunted house with the three beautiful ladies.

“Ah!”

Barely a few steps into the haunted house. Sharon George had found herself scared silly and gripping jackie’s arm tightly. Her face looked as if she had shrunk, and her expression was one of pure terror.

jackie glanced to his side and felt speechless. Sharon Geroge had glued her entire body tightly to his arm. After all, he was a man, and this scene found him a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

He thought, ‘However, I can’t just leave her especially in a time where she’s so scared. I can’t just push her away.’

jackie felt a little remorseful. He regretted suggesting the haunted house. It was his own actions that led him here, in this awkward situation where Sharon could take advantage of him.

“Ah!” A terrifying long-tongued ghost had appeared at Tanya’s side.

Tanya was frightened to the core and also griped on jackie’s hand. She stuck her head on to his shoulder and continued walking forward in tiny steps.

jackie felt ashamed. He thought, “Why is Tanya holding my hand? Doesn’t she feel embarrassed too?” Despite his initial thoughts, judging from Tanya’s tight grip, she was indeed really scared.

“What do we do now”

Yvonne was walking behind jackie but she was also feeling frightened as well. In fact, her palms had started to break out in sweat. However, she wanted to maintain a composed and independent image. She refused to stoop low and behave like Tanya and Sharon who were clinging onto jackie like glue. ‘How embarrassing,’ she thought.

Just as those thoughts passed her mind, a bony arm suddenly appeared from the back and tapped her shoulder.

Hiss! Yvonne almost passed out at the weight of a skeletal-like arm on her shoulder, clad in rags.

“Ahh!” she shrieked. In a panicked frenzy, she flung herself toward jackie’s back and hugged him tightly, abandoning all previous thoughts of composure and independence. She yelled, “Hurry, jackie, hurry,

there’s a ghost behind…”

jackie felt really strange-these three beautiful ladies were clinging on to him like their last straw of hope!

“Alright, if that’s the case we had better hurry up!”

jackie felt the heat creeping up to him with embarrassment and hurriedly exited the haunted house. Finally, the group emerged from the haunted house safely.

The three ladies were still clinging and gripping onto jackie, with their eyes tightly shut.

“Have we exited yet? Have we left?”

Tanya shakily added, “Gosh, that was so scary, I am never doing that again!”

Chapter 642 “So scary, I am never going back too, really regret doing it!”

It was not clear if Sharon was really scared or if she was still pretending, but her body was even more tightly glued to jackie. jackie felt too embarrassed to even look at her.

“Wow, am I to believe it? Three ladies hugging one guy?”

“Heavens, I am so jealous! They are all clinging on him so tightly, and they all have really beautiful bodies. My god, that man is truly so lucky!”

“How I wish that was me. How did I not think of bringing a few beautiful ladies to the haunted house? Oh wait, I think I don’t know any beautiful ladies!”

The crowd surrounding them started to comment as they observed the group.

“My God, isn’t that woman the second young lady of the Drake family? Wow, she is hugging that man so tightly…”

“Hey, that woman looks like Yvonne Drake. Isn’t the other one Sharon George? Gosh, what a sight! I am so jealous!” A man recognized the three ladies and exclaimed in excitement.

Click! A few female onlookers had taken out their mobile devices to stealthily take photographs of the group. If these photos were to be circulated, that would really go viral. After all, it was a rare sight to see three ladies of the most distinguished families of Eastfield clinging on to a man.

“Ahem, we’re clear!”

jackie looked really awkward now that there were so many onlookers surrounding them. He felt that crawling back into the haunted house would have been a better choice.

The three women opened their eyes and saw how the onlookers were judging and perceiving them. They consciously shook themselves loose of jackie, their faces turning into a shade as red as a tomato.

“Told you guys not to do it, that was so scary!”

Tanya looked at jackie with embarrassment. “Oh God,” she thought. She couldn’t believe that she was holding jackie’s hand-to innocent bystanders, that really made their relationship seem suspicious.

“Yeah, that was really so scary!” Sharon felt scared but really excited too. She didn’t think she would have the luck to be in such close proximity with jackie.

“How unlucky of me, I was taken advantage of!” thought jackie.

The four of them prepared to leave. jackie was driving past a public bus station. Suddenly, he noticed something and remarked “No, that cannot be!”

“My God! Isn’t that you in the advertisement? Wow, are you that meticulous that you want to put up advertisements at a bus station!” Yvonne smiled bitterly.

“What can I do? I just wanted to make my wife happy!” jackie felt funny on the inside. The advertiser must have been the idiot Ivan Taylor who wanted to portray him as a joke and wanted to see him die on Selena’s birthday. Too bad for them, their plans were foiled.

Chapter 643 At that very moment, the three men who were present at Green Hall that day had returned to Green Hall after sending the man who pretended to be blind to the hospital and had found someone to take care of him.

As they entered the courtyard, one of them turned to the skinnier one of the group and said, “Monkey, that rascal said he would come tomorrow-do you think he would really show up? He’s just a bodyguard, but he must have some skills to become the bodyguard for the Drake family. I don’t think we can underestimate him!”

The other guy looked at Monkey and said, “Brother Monkey, that rascal’s name is jackie. He is the live-in son-in-law of the Taylor family. You definitely shouldn’t underestimate him. Back in those days, he actually saved the God of War. To be connected to these old legends like the God of War, do you think…”

Monkey interjected with fear in his voice, “Okay I can’t do anything about it now. All I can do is be frank with him and see what he decides to do!”

“Yeah, this time we really need to treat him truthfully and give him the photos if he needs them!”

The other two in the group nodded in agreement and the three of them continued walking inside.

“Oh, Monkey you guys are back! How was the bounty today? Did you guys get many photos taken? I will be able to sell them for a lot of money!” said Mousak gleefully—he was the manager.

Monkey’s expression sank, “Actually we did get a good bounty. There was an unusual amount of young women in the theme park with short skirts today. Unfortunately, as we were packing up and getting ready to leave, we bumped into the nosy Tanya and Yvonne Drake!”

The mustached man’s expressions also sank at the sound of Tanya’s name. He could already guess what was to follow in the conversation, “You guys actually bumped into them? Oh, this Tanya really is a justice warrior.”

He thought about what he said and added, “Oh, don’t tell me that she brought a number of bodyguards? However, I already told you guys to disguise yourselves as blind men. The cameras are well hidden too. Such advanced technology-is it possible for her to see through your antics?”

“Sigh, we also didn’t think that they would but they really did see through us. Ben is laying in the hospital with his leg broken-the doctor says he needs to amputate his leg tomorrow!”

Monkey took a deep breath and said, “Damn, they only had one bodyguard with them, but the bodyguard was just too good!”

“It’s fine, it’s over now, you can continue whatever you were doing another time!”

Mousak knew not to mess with the Drakes. He said, “It’s fortunate that we didn’t make a big deal out of it. Other than Ben’s medical expenses, he also put effort into this, I’ll give him half a million! This way he can just retire peacefully at home!”

To his surprise, Monkey smiled bitterly and said, “We also wanted to contain the situation. We even damaged everything inside the memory cards and we were also beaten up by him. What we did not foresee was that the other party did not want to let what happened today, slide!”

“What?” Mousak looked angry. He said, “F**k, didn’t you tell them that you are the men of Green Hall? Did you not tell them that Green Hall is a force to be reckoned with that belongs to the Kingston Hall?”

“How could I not have said that? I thought that they would let it go once they heard that. Unexpectedly, they pressed on even further after hearing that!” groaned Monkey, who was feeling frustrated and helpless.

After all, the head of Green Hall did say in the past that they should maintain a cordial relationship with the other aristocratic families and maintain the peace among them.

Of course, in normal situations, the other aristocratic families would have been fearful of the powerful families that lived unusual paths and would usually not step out of line.

“Tanya Drake really has some guts. Does she think she is incarnate of justice? Is she trying to start a fight between the Drakes and Green Hall? Is she not scared of Kingston Hall who is backing us?” Mousak was boiling with fury.

“No, it wasn’t because of her. Tanya was a little scared and she didn’t want to offend us. Monkey chuckled and said, “It was her bodyguard. If not for him, we would not have ended up in that situation.”

Chapter 644 Mousak looked dumbfounded. He said, “What? You mean it wasn’t Tanya Drake that wanted to make a big deal about it, but in fact, it was the bodyguard who wanted to pursue the truth? How could Tanya have agreed to that? Who does he think he is to pursue the matter further?”

“Yeah right, I don’t know what that rascal meant. He even said he wants to come and see us tomorrow and that it is a private matter for him, so he will show up alone!”

Monkey felt that this was not really possible, “I don’t know if he is just bullshitting but this rascal is not to be messed with-he is the live-in son-in-law of the Taylor family!”

“It’s him?”

Mousak heard this and his face sank even further. “I wouldn’t be concerned at all if it’s just any random bodyguard. But now that I heard the culprit is that hotheaded guy, I think we might find ourselves in a bit of a pickle.”

“Hotheaded guy? What do you mean?”

“You mean, he usually gets up to no good?” Monkey asked with a frown.

Mousak nodded. “I don’t have much proof, but we think that the retreat of the Dragon Gods from Eastfield had something to do with this jackie guy.”

“No way, the Dragon Gods were so good. How can they be afraid of him?”

Monkey shook his head in disbelief. “That’s impossible. He is just one man. How can he possess that strength or capability? I heard that the Dragon Gods left so quickly that they left behind all their assets and wealth. They were in such a hurry that they didn’t bother selling them. More importantly, there was a mysterious man of great strength who killed many members of their clan in a single night-even the best of the Dragon Gods, the masters, were killed. Mr. Howard had no choice but to flee.”

Monkey suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, “My God, brother Mousak, do you think jackie killed all those masters?”

“How is this possible?”

Mousak smiled indifferently, “I heard this rascal was just a commander. His combat skills indeed can be good, but it is not that strong. As our master said, this rascal has a good relationship with the King of War and the God of War. He most likely had help.”

Mousak paused before continuing, “Two days ago, the master was just telling me about that rascal. The conclusion was that we don’t have any evidence but we really don’t want to offend nor provoke him!”

Monkey looked worried at this point and said, “Now it looks like we’re not finding fault with him but he is coming to look for trouble with us.”

“Mm, let’s go. I will bring you to the master. You need to tell him everything that had happened in detail. Master is a smart man and will know how we can deal with this!”

Mousak nodded and brought Monkey inside.

…

At this moment, jackie, Tanya, and the ladies had driven back to the Drake family home. Just as jackie started his car and got ready to head home after a day’s work, he was stopped by a boy who rushed out of nowhere.

He saw that it was Tiger. “Tiger? Why are you looking for me?”

jackie froze as he saw Tiger’s pale and nervous expression.

Tiger got into the car and said hurriedly, “Big brother, I don’t know what I can do anymore, and I had to come and find you for help.”

“What is it? Slow down and tell me!” jackie stopped his car and asked Tiger.

“Ah, didn’t you give us a sum of money? My wife and I bought a home and we opened a restaurant with the remainder. I guess our food is really good because business became better and better after we launched the restaurant.” said Tiger after a gulp.

Chapter 645 jackie froze and asked, “Isn’t that a good thing? Why do you look so anxious and worried? Did you

offend anyone?”

Tiger nodded and said, “The restaurant next to us experienced really bad business and they started to blame us. They claim that we robbed them of their business, and got some gangsters to mess with us. These gangsters come every day. They will each take up a desk and order a plate of peanuts. They sit there for the whole day and because of this, we can’t carry out our business!”

“What low lives. These people are really bullies!” jackie clenched his fist and got really angry. He could not believe that the restaurateurs next door were so shameless.

He thought about the situation and asked, “So, did the business next door get better?”

“Better my foot. There is another big restaurant on the street. They don’t dare to offend them so they take their anger out on me. His restaurant’s food is really bad so he blames me for taking his business. But since I had no business, his shop has not improved from before!”

Tiger got angrier and said helplessly, “Sigh, I really am at a loss. When they first started doing this, we thought of putting up with it. How would we know that they would actually come everyday and do this.”

“What about now?” jackie asked after a moment of silence.

Tiger said, “They are still sitting there. I used to be able to do well at night but all my customers are scared silly. The gangsters asked for a hundred thousand ‘protection fee’ then they would leave us alone. Otherwise, they will keep this up.”

“Okay, where’s your restaurant? Let’s go.” jackie started the car and drove straight for the restaurant. It was not long before they arrived. jackie stopped his car by the curb.

“We’re here!” Tiger got out of the car and pointed at the restaurant. He led jackie into the restaurant.

As jackie approached the door, he could hear laughter from inside.

“What do you say, pretty girl? Today I found a hair in the peanuts. We have already eaten a lot of peanuts. What if we get a bad stomach from this?”

One of the men with a buzz cut roared with laughter. He was sitting with one leg up on the stool. He was chewing on a toothpick and laughing cooly.

“I’m… I’m sorry. I’ll get a new plate for you? You don’t need to pay for this one!”

Tiger’s wife was at a loss for words. She could only smile and reply politely.

“F**k!”

That man slammed a pair of chopsticks on the table. “Your logic is so special. I ate your unhygienic food and you offer to get me a new plate? How much is this even? Something that costs ten dollars? You would like to get me a new plate? Do you think I don’t have ten dollars?”

“Then what do you want from me? You guys are occupying more than ten tables, I can offer it to you for free.”

Tiger’s wife was already at a loss. Tiger said he needed to step out to find a solution, but he had not even returned. She was left alone with two fearful waiters who were huddled in a corner. At this moment, she was already scared out of her wits.

“What do we want? Ah, since your husband is not here, and since you are quite pretty, why don’t you go over to the toilet and play with me?”

The man with the buzz cut stood up and approached Tiger’s wife, smacking her.

Chapter 646 “Ah!”

Tiger’s wife was scared to death, her face turned pale and she cautiously stepped backward. “Don’t mess around with me! I’ve already told you, if my husband finds out about this, he will really murder you!”

“That is hilarious. Your boyfriend looks so soft, even if he had ten lives he still would not muster up the courage to do anything to us.”

The man with the buzz cut started roaring in laughter. He continued, “Then tell me, how do you plan on compensating me? I’m starting to feel a stomachache. I want you to accompany me to the toilet and relieve my stomachache. Otherwise, give me two hundred thousand and I’ll consider my medical bills paid!”

“Two hundred thousand!”

Tiger’s wife heard the exorbitant sum and took in a deep breath. She knew that they did not have enough money. They could not afford to pay off these bastards. These bastards also had an insatiable appetite for bullying them-even if she did give him two hundred thousand this round, she feared that there would be an even bigger sum demanded from them in the future.

“What now? Don’t you have the money? Well, if you don’t have the money, then you should compensate me with your body!”

“Don’t worry, your husband isn’t here. I won’t tell him!”

The man with the buzz cut laughed gleefully, and approached Tiger’s wife, getting ready to drag her off and do his bidding.

She retreated backward and yelled, “No! No! The hair you found in the peanuts belongs to you! Tiger and I have really long hair. The hair you found is really short and the length is consistent with the length of your hair. It’s so obvious that you’re just finding fault and making our lives hard!”

“what proof do you have to say that the hair is mine? I don’t care. The fact that I found hair in my food is enough to hold you accountable. Otherwise, I will spread the word around that your food is unsafe and unhygienic!”

The man with the buzz cut roared with laughter and as she was caught completely off guard, he stepped forward and tightly embraced her.

“Let me go, you bastard!”

Tiger’s wife struggled against his grip. He had her in a deadlock and was about to drag her to the bathroom.

“Let her go!”

At this moment, a loud roar came from the doorway. Tiger rushed in with fury with jackie following in his trail.

The group of gangsters saw that Tiger had arrived and all stood up, looking at him like they were tigers themselves, getting ready to play with their prey.

“Oh, you’re back!”

The man with the buzz cut let Tiger’s wife go and laughed cooly. He said, “Since you’ve returned, compensate me with two hundred thousand now. If not, we’ve all lost our patience and we plan to trash this place!”

jackie heard this and laughed cooly. “Oh, trash this place?” he said. “If you guys don’t value your lives, try it!”

“Hey, looks like this eager beaver is getting ready for revenge. He even found himself a little helper!”

The man with the buzz cut laughed, “However…you only brought one man? Is he going to be enough?”

“You all want money? Come outside and fight me. If you all can win me at this fight, forget about two hundred thousand. We can give you two million!” jackie continued, “But, if you all can’t win this fight, then just admit your unlucky fate. Compensate my brother for a million in damages. You all have not only affected his business these past few days. You have even caused him emotional distress. I believe this is a small sum that you guys can afford!”

“Hey, what a big mouth!”

The man with the buzz cut laughed cooly and said, “Alright, let’s go outside. I don’t believe that my entire gang cannot defeat you. If you lose, give us two million. If we lose, we’ll give you one million!”

The gangsters were getting riled up at this exchange. They felt that this guy before them was eagerly rushing to prove himself. There were so many of them. From a number perspective, it was impossible for one man to be able to defeat all of them. Even if they lose, the compensation would only be one million. There was much more to be gained in the two million that they could possibly get. They thought that the odds were definitely stacked in their favor! What a deal they could not refuse!

Chapter 647 The group of men gathered at the entrance of the restaurant and surrounded jackie very quickly.

Tiger knew what jackie was capable of and did not feel worried at all. His wife, however, was a little worried. She asked, “Tiger, can he take on so many men? Should we just pay off these men? Otherwise, they will still come and bother us after your big brother leaves us.”

“Don’t worry, my big brother knows what to do. He only needs to show up once, they will think twice before messing with us in the future!” Tiger had full faith in jackie.

“Kid, do you even have that much money? Don’t just be blowing your trumpet!” The man with the buzz cut cracked his knuckles and asked jackie while cracking his knuckles.

His only worry was that jackie was blowing his own trumpet and would not be able to provide the money later.

“Shouldn’t you guys be worried about this?” jackie said nonchalantly. He continued, “I don’t even need to lift a finger to defeat you guys!”

“you really like to talk big huh. You think you can defeat us without lifting a finger? I’m afraid you’re taking on more than you can chew!”

The man with the buzz cut laughed and said, “If you are really capable of this, I will kneel before you and call you my grandfather!”

“Don’t regret your words later!” jackie retorted.

The man with the buzz cut was getting excited. He felt that this fool before him was too silly. If the kid was not going to even lift a finger, they would be able to take him on even faster.

“Go! F**k, you three go and get him! I want to see how he can defeat us without lifting a finger!”

The man with the buzz cut held back his group of men and wanted to get a taste of what jackie was capable of. He wanted to call jackie’s bluff and only asked three men to take him on.

“Ah!” Three men rushed toward jackie.

jackie jumped and made three flying kicks. One by one, the men flew several feet away and fell onto the floor in pain.

“No way!” The man with the buzz cut look dumbfounded at the scene before him. He thought, ‘Looks like this kid has got some game, he can take on three men!’

“F**k, let’s all go! Surround him from all four corners, let me see how he can take us on now!” The man with the buzz cut gave his orders after some thought.

It was obvious that this rascal was not stupid. jackie was not using his hands and the group of men was surrounding him. This time, it won’t be so easy for jackie.

All the men who rushed forward were lying on the floor in pain. They were either clutching onto their chests or stomachs, each with twisted expressions of pain on their faces.

“So what now? Since you all have lost, time to pay up!” jackie laughed cooly and said, “Don’t tell me you can’t even afford a million!”

Chapter 648 “Ouch, Motherf*cker, it’s so painful!”

The man with the buzz cut was lying on the floor with blood sprouting from the corner of his mouth. He groaned on and on. He really could not believe that there was such a master fighter on earth. The attacks were coming at him so fast that he could not even see where the kicks began. The only thing he remembered was feeling a kick on his chest and that his bum had fallen right on the floor.

“Impossible!” The boss of the restaurant next door had witnessed the exchange and thought jackie had a death wish to challenge the gangsters. Now, the scene that had unraveled before him scared him to death instead. He could not have imagined Tiger would be able to find such a powerful man to help him out.

However, he quickly thought with a cool grin, ‘Hmph, kid, you may think you got them now. This group of gangster is not your average gangster. You don’t know who is backing them. A kid like you can’t afford to offend this gang. I will just silently observe today!’

“Kid, don’t you be demanding. You’ve already beaten us to a pulp. Now, you’re demanding money from us? How illogical of you!”

Moments later, the man with the buzz cut had recovered a little and finally got up off the ground together with his men.

“ didn’t you guys promise earlier? It’s not just about the money. Don’t forget you all have to kneel and call me your grandfather.” jackie laughingly reminded the group.

“Kid, we’re not your average joes. We can consider ourselves unlucky and return your money. However, forget about us kneeling before you and calling you our grandfather. You would be stripping us of our dignity and honor-how will we continue to make a living if we do that?” the man with the buzz cut said after some thought.

“Oh, how can you men just go back on your words so carelessly? I want you to give me the money, kneel and call me grandfather-that was what you promised!”

jackie laughed and continued, “Plus, I don’t really care who is behind you or which forces are backing you. If you offend me, I will make sure to give your backers a hard time!”

The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly and said, “Think carefully before you demand that, don’t regret your actions later. We’re the men of Green Hall!”

“Green Hall” jackie furrowed his brow. “What a coincidence!” he thought. He was about to swing by Green Hall for a visit tomorrow. He could not believe his fate that he had met these gangsters from Green Hall today.

Seeing jackie momentarily stunned, the man with the buzz cut gleefully said, “kid. Looks like even you have heard of the prowess of the men at Green Hall? We have hundreds of men and hundreds of proficient fighters. You can fight them off slowly yourself. You may think you’re good now, but you can’t be unafraid of Green Hall!”

Having said this, he even puffed up his chest and folded his hands. He haughtily continued, “Kid, if you’re feeling regretful, just admit your mistakes and apologize. We won’t hold you accountable or pursue the matter further. Seeing as you’re a good fighter too, let’s just forget everything that has happened today.”

“Hey, you’re really cocky!” jackie laughed cooly. “You think I’ll drop this just because of the two words ‘Green Hall’? Have you guys not come to your senses yet?”

jackie’s mood darkened, “I’ll give you ten minutes. Bring me a million dollars. Otherwise, prepare to lie down completely!”

“Kid, are you being serious right now?” The man with the buzz cut gulped. “Do you know how powerful the forces behind Green Hall are? We are backed by Kingston Hall!”

“I don’t care, give me the money!” jackie had no fear and asked for the money relentlessly.

Chapter 649 The corners of the mouth of the group of men before jackie began to twitch.

“I… I don’t have that money?”

The man with the buzz cut said after a pause, “We don’t usually make that much money. We also have to pay Green Hall a monthly protection fee. Whatever we have left, we usually eat and drink it away. Where do you want us to find a million dollars?”

“Eight minutes left!”

jackie was too lazy to be engaged in mindless chatter. He looked at the time and mercilessly pressed on.

“I…”

The man with the buzz cut got really angry. He thought and said to his group of men. “What about you guys? However much money you have, give it to me now. F**k, let’s pool it. Looks like we have met our match today. What more, he is not afraid of death and he is so relentless. I don’t think we can get away with this.”

The men were speechless and helplessly paid up their share to the man with a buzz cut.

Moments after, one of the men looked at the balance in their bank accounts and bitterly said to jackie, “Brother, I’m so impressed. You’re not even afraid of Green Hall?”

“Stop bullshitting. Get us the money! Send it to Tiger!” jackie said curtly.

Tiger was too scared to accept the money. He stepped forward, smiling awkwardly, and said, “Hey big brother, let’s not cause them any more trouble. Let it go now so that we won’t get into any trouble in the future!”

The truth was that Tiger was still afraid. When he heard the gangsters talk about large and powerful forces backing their clan, he was afraid to offend them any further-to offend such strong powers would not bring them any good.

Furthermore, it was only because of jackie’s presence today that they were bowing their heads temporarily. What if they come again in the future? Matters may not be as simple as a scuffle or a fight then. Who knows, they could even murder him and his wife.

“Yeah big brother, please let it go.” Tiger’s wife stepped forward and begged.

“Hey I can’t just let it go. I saw with my own eyes how they were bullying you!”

jackie’s resolve was clear. He looked at Tiger and said, “Don’t worry, it is their responsibility to compensate you. If they mess with you again, I will destroy all of Kingston Hall.”

Tiger heard this and took a deep breath. He thought that jackie was really way above his head right now. Kingston Hall was Eastfield’s top and ultimate Hall. Even the Drake family was afraid of Kingston Hall. jackie was taking Kingston Hall way too lightly, and throwing his words around too casually.

“Kid, really? You’re not scared of Green Hall? Unafraid of Kingston Hall? If you think you’re so capable, why not you pay Green Hall a visit?”

The man with a buzz cut glanced sideways at Tiger. “We don’t have much money today. After half a day’s worth of work, we only have nine hundred fifty thousand dollars with us-it’s all for you!”

“Tiger, give them your account number!”

jackie looked at Tiger and said, “I am in fact visiting Green Hall tomorrow. You’d better prepare the remaining fifty thousand for me tomorrow. I’ll treat that as my fee for today’s work. Even I cannot do this for free!”

“Big brother, it’s only fifty thousand…let it go, they’ve already given us nine hundred and fifty thousand, let’s just cut them some slack!”

Tiger looked like he was in between a rock and a hard place. He started to feel really afraid.

“don’t worry. I’m not just going there for fifty thousand. I am going to settle some other matters!” jackie laughed and patted Tiger’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to warn them tomorrow. If they don’t listen and still stir up trouble with you, they would have a death wish coming for them!”

Chapter 650 “Alright, kid, you’re really something. We’ll give you this nine hundred fifty thousand dollars today!”

The man with the buzz cut really could not believe the blasphemy coming out of jackie’s mouth. He threatened, “We’ll see you at Green Hall tomorrow. If you don’t show up, we’ll know what you’re made of!”

The man with the buzz cut transferred the money to Tiger. He paused and continued, “If you don’t show up, don’t blame us the Green Hall men for stirring up some trouble with your dear little friend and his wife. I’m telling you, this woman is surely something. Just from patting her earlier, I got a little excited.”

jackie smiled cooly and sharply kicked in between the man’s thighs.

“Ah!”

The man’s voice cracked and kneeled on the floor painfully.

“I let you go this time and you still dare to clamor and hoot? Don’t even think of any women in the future. You think I can’t live up to my word?” jackie could have let bygones be bygones. It was a small matter to get them to compensate the money. What more, he had promised Selena that he would not be stirring up trouble and that he just wanted to live a peaceful life.

He could not have imagined that this rascal would even dare to insult them this way, did he have a death wish? He felt that he could not go soft on them, since the other party still thought that they were pushovers.

“Brother Luca!” His underlings were scared. They did not imagine this kid to be so cruel and kicked Luca’s private part. Brother Luca yelled and passed out. His men picked him up and carried him away.

“Impossible!” the boss of the restaurant next door was also scared. He did not think that Tiger could be connected to such a skilled fighter, what more a skilled fighter that had no fear for the Green Hall or even Kingston Hall!

Most importantly, this man could even beat up Brother Luca to a pulp-was not this asking for it from Green Hall?

“You! Come here…”

He was discovered by jackie. jackie looked at him and gestured for him to come over.

“Bro-brother, are you looking for me?”

The boss looked around him and saw that he was the only man there. He was petrified and did not dare to go over.

He was just an ordinary businessman. He expected Brother Luca to take care of it for a hundred thousand dollars. Seeing as even Brother Luca was beaten to a pulp, how would he dare to go over?

“Not coming? Do you wish to die?” jackie asked casually.

The boss felt his legs going soft and he gulped. He walked toward jackie grudgingly. As he arrived before jackie, his brow was already sweating buckets.

“Hey, handsome man, what do you need from me?”

The boss took out a cigarette and shakily passed it to jackie. His hand was shaking so much that he dropped the cigarette midway.

“I don’t want cigarettes, I’m not interested!” jackie smiled cooly. He said, “Close your restaurant tomorrow onward. Otherwise, you’ll upset me!”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll shut down the restaurant tomorrow. It’s my fault for bad business. I admit my fault now!”

The boss nodded. He was just an ordinary businessman and did not want any trouble. He did not dare to open his mouth and protest, in fear of jackie murdering him. After all, this man before him might have some powerful forces behind him too.
