Chapter 751-800


    Chapter 751


    Andrew and Fiona were speechless. They wondered if these two women—these female bodyguards—


    had something going with jackie under their noses since they always stood for jackie and supported him.


    How could he stop working a job with a monthly sry of 20 million? Apart from that, how could these


    women say that the richest man was lucky to have jackie work as their family’s bodyguard?


    jackie smiled bitterly and said to Fiona, “Mother, I betted one hundred million a game with Young Master


    Turner, and I won ten games back to back. Are you sure you don’t want this money?”


    “We surely—” Fiona was about to say ‘no’ before realization dawned on her. “What?! One hundred


    million a game, you say? And you won ten games? Doesn’t that mean you’ve won a whole one billion?!”


    “Yes, one billion,” came jackie’s calm-sounding reply, added with a shrug. “Do you feel that I should give


    it up just because Young Master Drake spoke up on his behalf?”


    “One billion!” Andrew also eximed. This…this was too much! How did they settle with suchrge


    wagers?!


    “That;s a lot! I thought it’d be around a hundred dors bet per game, and at most, a thousand dors.


    How did ite to a billion?! We must take the money! We can’t give up such a big amount!” Fiona grew


    increasingly excited when she thought about it.


    She walked forward happily and patted jackie’s shoulder while saying, “Dear me! It’s all a


    misunderstanding. It’s alright to give up the job if it’s one billion dors. This one billion is enough for us,


    and if we’re frugal, we don’t need to worry for the rest of our lives. One whole billion! jackie, you’ve made


    a really intelligent choice!”


    “That’s right! How can we give up a billion dors?” Andrew was just as ted as his wife, and he asked,


    “Have you received the money?”


    “Don’t you worry. The money is safe and sound in my bank!” jackie said with a smile.


    “Alright, the two of you bodyguards better follow me outter. I’ll go buy some ingredients, and we’ll cook


    a table full of dishes to celebrate!” Overwhelmed with excitement, Fiona went and patted jackie’s


    shoulders with both hands. “ jackie, I’ll reward you with a table full of dishes tonight. You’ve worked hard


    these past days!”


    jackie thought about it and purposely brought the matter up once more as he spoke, “Umm… Mother,


    this job is really gone!”


    “Hey, it’s fine to let it go. We can start a bigpany with this one billion. Why are we afraid? Let’s just


    be our own boss!” Fiona soon left with both bodyguards forthrightly.


    “You’re really one-of-a-kind. Why didn’t you tell us about this right off the bat? You’ve frightened your


    mother and I!” Andrew said with a smile after Fiona left.


    “Frankly speaking, Father, to be honest, I wouldn’t continue working as a bodyguard for the Drakes after


    I’m fired,” said jackie, “even if I don’t get this one billion. After all, I’m not such a shameless person!”


    jackieughed and added, “It’s not about the amount of money; it’s about the dignity as a person.”


    Andrew was embarrassed when he heard this. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say as;


    jackie was right.


    Chapter 752


    Timothy was already drunk, and coincidentally, it was at the period when Selena would finish working


    and leave her office.


    With his mood soured, he drank to his heart’s content with Leo and the others before he got ready to go


    home.


    As they were drunk, Leo asked one of his bodyguards to send Timothy home.


    However, Timothy asked the driver to stop the car when they passed by Drake Dynasty Real Estate.


    The Turner family’s bodyguard turned around and asked Timothy with a frown, “What is it? Do you feel


    like vomiting, Young Master Drake?”


    “No, I need to go down. I’ve got something to do! F*ck, I’m getting heated just thinking about it. He’s just


    a bodyguard! How dare he refuse to give me face?” Young Master Drake smirked, got down from the car,


    and spoke to the bodyguard, “Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”


    “Yes, Young Master Drake.” The man nodded.


    Timothy soon entered the office, rather tipsy with the aftermath of the win he had.


    “Young Master Drake, why are you here?”


    “Young Master Drake, good day to you!”


    Most of thepany’s employees looked at him in surprise when they saw Timothy, even more so when


    they noted he was drunk.


    “I’m here to take a look at how you guys are doing recently!” Timothyughed and walked toward the


    purchasing department.


    “Is she here?” Soon, he arrived at Selena’s office door. With that smirk still on his face, he opened the


    door, entered the office, and locked it.


    “Why is Young Master Drake here? Why does he stink of wine?” The purchasing department’s employee,


    Felicia, asked her supervisor, Sonia with a frown.


    Sonia smiled coldly and lowered her voice as she said, “Isn’t it obvious? I had a weird feeling for so long


    now. Why did they refuse to promote me to a manager and suddenly employed Selena Taylor to work as


    the manager here? Apart from that, the Drake family still treats her husband so nicely.” Sonia held her


    hands in front of her chest and said peculiarly, “Do you know why? Selena must be secretly involved with


    Young Master Drake. They must’ve done what they did in private previously. Today, the young master is


    obviously drunk and is horny. I’m sure he’s here to look for her in the office.”


    “Tsk, tsk! If that’s the case, isn’t Young Master Drake slightly too eager? Selena will finish work in thirty


    minutes. Can’t he wait a little longer? Isn’t it better to wait for her to finish work and meet in the hotel?”


    asked Felicia.


    “Hey, you don’t understand men. Some men get extremely excited after they have drinks. Who knows,


    he’s probably looking to try something new at a new setting!” Sonia exined.


    …


    “Young Master Drake, why are you here? Can I help you?”


    Chapter 753


    Selena frowned when she saw Timothy entering her office without prior announcement. Her guard was


    up when she realized he reeked of alcohol and even locked the door. She immediately stood up and


    walked out from behind her desk.


    “Don’t be nervous!” Timothyughed and sized up Selena under the influence of alcohol.


    He always thought that Selena was utterly beautiful, but he was not interested as she was married and


    older than him.


    In his drunken state, however, he felt giddy as he eyed how the formal dress on this woman entuated


    her beautiful figure.


    He took just a few steps toward Selena and said, “I just so happened to pass this ce on my way


    home, so I’m here to take a look. I’d like to know what’s the development of South Hill Real Estate’s


    project. By the way, I heard that you’ve appointed the Taylor family to supply eighty percent of the project


    material?”


    The corners of Selena’s mouth twitched when she heard this. She had been worried about how people


    would gossip about this behind her back.


    Still, many days had passed without anybody saying anything. After all, the general manager had agreed


    to this and signed the agreement. Even he felt that the materials from the Taylor family were rather good.


    Selena eventually rxed. Regardless, the general manager had already mentioned this to James Drake


    and Miss Tanya; Timothy should have known about this much earlier.


    She did not know why Timothy brought up this matter.


    Selena smiled embarrassingly. “Yes. Young Master Drake should’ve known about this since long ago,


    right? The general manager already approved it. Your father and Miss Tanya also knew about it. They


    had visited the site and were satisfied with the materials as the quality was good!”


    Timothy smiled and walked closer to Selena. “We’re definitely satisfied. I didn’t say that we’re not. This


    isn’t about the materials!”


    “If there’s nothing wrong with the material, what is it?” Selena turned around with a frown and reached for


    a paper cup. “Young Master Drake, you must’ve drank lots of wine. Let me pour you a cup of warm


    water.”


    Selena bent over at the water dispenser and fetched him a cup of warm water. Her alluring bent figure in


    her formal dress made Young Master Drake feel rather thirsty. He could not help but swallow his saliva.


    This woman grew increasingly seductive the more he looked at her.


    Timothy’s imaginations began to wander as he continued to look at Selena.


    With the cup of warm water at hand, Selena turned around toward him only to be stunned at his rather


    suggestive gaze.


    Timothy immediately looked away when he saw Selena turning around. With a grin on his face, he said,


    “Miss Selena is too generous, but it’s not about the material. I know several material-supplying


    companies that have better branding, a longer history, and their quality is quite nice. The materials they


    have are indisputably reliable!” He paused here before continuing, “If that’s the case, I wonder why Miss


    Selena chose the Taylor family without even considering thesepanies? Is it possible that you have


    some hidden, selfish motives?”


    Selena was slightly nervous when Timothy asked her this; this matter caused her quite the difort for


    quite some time. Although the Taylor family was not bad, Sonia had filtered the other material suppliers


    and did not pass them to her.


    She knew about this, but she chose to ignore it for the Taylor family’s sake and signed the contract.


    She never expected that Young Master Drake would purposely talk about this after the general manager,


    Miss Tanya and James had agreed to it.


    Did the Drakes want to go back on their word?


    This was the assumption and worry that gued Selena.


    After all, this project could help the Taylor family earn quite a revenue. It could guarantee their profit and


    healthy business development for the next two years.


    The project had just started not long ago. It would be troublesome for the Taylor family if the Drakes


    changed their minds.


    “Young Master Drake, are you saying there are severalpanies better than the Taylor family? I’m not


    very clear about this as Supervisor Neal is the one who did the research. In the end, she’s the one who


    compiled all pieces of information and handed them to me. Regardless, I felt that only the Taylor family is


    the most suitable one among all thepanies she handed to me!”


    With a smile on her face, Selena passed the cup of water to Timothy and added, “The agreement was


    signed and approved by the general manager. This proves that the Taylor family is entirely capable of


    such an important role.”


    Chapter 754


    “Is that so?” Timothy walked over to receive the cup of warm water, and he took another step closer and


    moved closer to Selena.


    Selena’s faint body odor, coupled with her perfume, stimted Timothy.


    “Oh my!” His hand slightly trembled when he took over the cup, causing water from the cup to spill on


    Selena’s chest.


    “Ah!” Selena yelped in shock, although the water was not too hot.


    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to. Let me help you wipe that, Miss Selena.” Timothy was prepared


    for this. As he stretched out his hand toward her, Selena snapped.


    “Go away! I can wipe it myself!” Selena was shocked at his advances and took a few steps backing away


    from him. Timothy was so in taking advantage of her, his hands merely a centimeter away from her attire.


    Selena instantly took out several pieces of tissue paper and dabbed them at the soaked area on her


    clothes.


    Timothy was rather disappointed at Selena’s quick thinking, but it did not erase his excitement at her


    flustered state. “Allow me to help you with that, Miss Selena,” he urged once more, “I’m good at it!”


    “Young Master Drake, what are you talking about? Kindly respect our boundaries or I’ll get angry!”


    Selena’s face darkened when she discovered his true, dark intentions. She then angrily added, “If it’s


    work purposes you’re concerned with, I’ll make my reports. If it’s about anything else, please immediately


    leave. I’m not this kind of woman!”


    It did not enrage Timothy when Selena vocally stated her stance; he merely smirked. “Miss Selena, stop


    acting. Do you think that I don’t know what kind of woman you are? You didn’t know your husband when


    you first met him, yet you married him the day you know him and slept with him right after. You even


    have a child with him!”


    Timothy looked at Selena in disdain. “You slept with a man you just knew. How’s it possible for you to not


    be charmed by a handsome and rich young master like me? I’ve no intentions of marrying you; I’m not


    interested in married women like you. Still, you’ve got a nice figure, and you’ve got a rather beautiful


    face. What say you apany me for a short while?”


    Selena almost fainted due to anger, but she maintained her icy-cold expression and she scoffed, “Young


    Master Drake, you must’ve had too many drinks tonight. I’ll take this as you speaking nonsense, and I


    won’t argue with you!”


    Selena then pointed at the door. “Now, please get out and stop disturbing me at my workce. Your


    image would be destroyed if others knew about what happened here today!”


    Selena had a point; Timothy was usually a gentleman in front of others. His actions toward her might


    very well be due to alcohol influence.


    Still, he did not seem drunk, though he might have drank slightly more than usual.


    Chapter 755


    “You’re a woman! Do you think I, a man, would be afraid if others knew about this if you’re not? Also,


    who’d believe that you’re innocent? Won’t others say that you’re the one who seduced me for your


    monthly sry of one million? Who’s in power here: you or me?” Timothyughed and added, “You think


    about that, Selena Taylor, and you think it through. I, Timothy Drake, will have you now. You have no


    choice but to obey me!”


    “In your dreams!” Selena was downright livid; she never thought Timothy could be so evil.


    “You’d do well to think it thoroughly. If you don’t do as I say, I’ll terminate the contract with the Taylor


    family. Thepensation is only around one hundred million, nothing too much, and we can afford it!”


    Timothy smiled coldly. “Secondly, I fired your husband, and he’s out of job now. What’ll happen to your


    family’s expenses now that he lost his monthly sry of twenty million?”


    “What?! You…you fired him?!” Selena was taken aback by Timothy’s wicked words. This Young Master


    Drake was too much of a pain. She never thought he had that sadistic streak in him.


    “Don’t be so agitated! I haven’t finished speaking!” Timothy smirked with an extremely definite expression


    on his face. “Think about it: You guys live in a big vi now with an entire family waiting for your support,


    and you’ve got bodyguards and workers you need to pay too.


    “I fired your husband because he acted against me, and if you don’t submit to me today, I’ll fire you too.


    You purposely signed the agreement with the Taylor family for their wellbeing. I can fire you based on this


    point alone!”


    “You evil man! Young Master Drake, I never thought you’d be such a despicable man!” Selena gritted her


    teeth in anger. She never thought Timothy would hold the matter against him.


    She used to think that Timothy was a kind person like Miss Tanya. After all, siblings usually shared quite


    a few characteristics.


    Apart from that, Timothy usually looked like a gentleman. She had no idea the man before her would


    have such a foul, wretched heart.


    “Oh, I’m despicable?” Timothyughed coldly after he heard what Selena said. “You’re making a false


    counter-charge. If it wasn’t for us Drakes, do you think that your husband would’ve had such a great job?


    Do you think that you’d have a great job? You guys were poor people looked down on by the Taylor


    family and others. You have the life you have now because you guys met us and befriended us. How


    dare you say that I’m despicable!”


    Timothy merely shrugged when he noted Selena’s silence and cold expression. “Don’t you worry about it.


    As long as you promise me that you’ll serve me well this one time, I wouldn’t tell others about this. I won’t


    rescind the contract with the Taylor family, and you get to keep your job. A one-million sry is barely


    enough for your family!”


    Selena gritted her teeth and was so angry that her face turned pale.


    Timothy was pleased when he saw her rooted where she stood, wordlessly; he assumed Selena was


    complying due to the fear he instilled in her. After all, any other woman would know what choice to make,


    right?


    He walked forward and pulled Selena into his arms. His face leaned closer to hers as though he was


    about to kiss her. “Miss Selena, just sumb to me. You lose nothing. After all, I’m the Drake family’s


    young master, son of Eastfield’s wealthiest man. No rich young masters in the entire Eastfield would dare


    compete with me. Moreover, your husband won’t know about this if you don’t tell him, understand?”


    “You bastard, let go of me!” Selena was so angry that she resisted Timothy’s embrace and fought back.


    Chapter 756


    Timothyughed at Selena’s struggle. “And why should I let you go? Just give in to me!” He pushed her


    onto the table with all his might, ready to grab her.


    “Go away!” In her fear and panic, Selena kicked Timothy right in between his legs when he was close


    enough.


    “Argh!” Timothy yelled in pain and fell onto his knees in a squatting position.


    Selena instantly shot up as Timothy fell, merely sparing him a re as she rushed toward the door.


    “Young Master Drake, you bastard! I quit!” Selena ripped open the door and rushed out right after.


    …


    “What’s going on? Manager Taylor ran out of her office!” Employees were startled to see Selena rushing


    out of her office.


    “Did he fail? Manager Taylor’s hair seems to be ruffled up a little, but she opened the door and ran


    straight out. She seemed to have just cried, too,” said Felicia dumbfoundedly. “This doesn’t seem right.


    This shouldn’t be happening if they have something going behind the scenes. Shouldn’t she be very


    happy?”


    “How would I know? Let’s go check it out.” Sonia immediately walked with Felicia toward Selena’s office.


    They peered into the office and discovered Young Master Drake on the floor: he had his hands over his


    private parts as he hissed in pain.


    “How dare Selena Taylor do this?! What should Young Master Drake do if he can’t bear children in the


    future?” Sonia said angrily. She immediately went in with Felicia to assist Young Master Drake.


    Meanwhile, Selena rushed to the parking lot. She pulled the door to her car open and went inside before


    crying out her frustrations. It took a while before she could reach out for a tissue paper to wipe her tears,


    and it was only after that was she able to calm herself down before she made her way home.


    …


    jackie was smoking in their yard when he saw Selena’s car entering thepound and was parked.


    “Honey, you’re back.” jackie walked over to his wife with a small smile on his face.


    “Yes,” came Selena’s simple reply and went to sit with him quietly.


    “Honey, I quit my job,” jackie started, his smile bitter as he spoke. “But truthfully, I was fired by Young


    Master Drake. No need to worry, though. Our family will still have money to rely on.”


    Selena listened on and instantly recalled how she was almost taken advantage of by Timothy. Her nose


    twitched and her eyes turned slightly red. She looked at jackie upsettingly and said, “Honey, I… I’ve also


    quit my job. We are both out of jobs! What should we do?”


    “You quit, too?” The news stunned jackie, but he could sense his wife’s unstable emotions. “What


    actually happened?” he prodded.


    “That bastard Timothy Drake came looking for me in my office after he had some drinks. He even


    threatened me with the Taylor family’s agreement about sourcing materials and the fact that he’d fire me.


    He wants to take advantage of me and even forced himself on me when I refused him!


    “Thankfully, I reacted fast and kicked his crotch at the given time. I managed to escape right after that.”


    Face written with fear, Selena looked at her husband and blurted, “What should I do? I’d be in so much


    trouble if my mother knows I lost my job!”


    jackie was livid at the details his wife told him. “F*ck… Is Timothy Drake looking for a death wish? I don’t


    give a damn if he does things to me, but how dare he go looking for you at your office? You didn’t even


    do anything to him!” jackie shot up from his seat and threw the cigarette butt onto the ground before


    stepping on it. His hands then tightened, balled into fists.


    Chapter 757


    “I’m going to get an exnation from him,” snapped jackie.


    “Don’t! This is the Drake family we’re talking about here!” Selena was extremely frightened when she


    saw jackie’s impulsive look and took his hands into hers. “Honey, don’t go. It’s the Drake family, and it’s


    not a good idea to offend them. Apart from that, he didn’t get to touch me inappropriately. While he did


    forcibly embraced me, I managed to break free!”


    “That means nothing to me. What would’ve happened if you failed to run away in time? The Drake family


    has to give me an exnation! How dare he try to take advantage of you!” jackie’s fists tightened even


    more. He turned to Selena and, carrying her in his arms bridal-style, walked toward the car when he saw


    her hands still on his.


    “What are you doing? I asked you to not go there!” Selena was flustered yet worried as he held her up


    like a princess, though it did not erase her anxiety. After all, the Drake family was a family that even first-


    ss aristocratic families dared not offend. Could jackie seed alone?


    “Don’t you worry; I won’t kill Tanya’s brother as a sign of respect for our friendship. However, if he doesn’t


    kneel and apologize, I’ll show him no mercy!” jackie still had a darkened expression on his face. He


    ced Selena at the passenger’s seat before he went and sat at the driver’s seat.


    “Honey, just let it go. I know you love me, but I don’t want to offend the Drake family! It’s not good to have


    another enemy,” coaxed Selena in an attempt to persuade jackie. She did not want him to act irrationally.


    “Apart from that, they’re the Drakes! They might have lots of masters with them!”


    “Don’t you worry. Their masters are no match for your husband. He’s far more powerful than any of them


    combined.” Adamant and indifferent, jackie stepped on the gas pedal and the car soon raced out of the


    vi.


    “Why are they going out again? Didn’t they juste back a while ago?” Several bodyguards who


    strolled around the perimeter not far away wondered what was happening when they saw the situation.


    At the same time, they felt jealous as they saw how jackie carried Selena in his arms.


    “You’re so hard-headed! Why won’t you listen to my advice?!” Selena relented once she knew it was a


    point for no return for her husband. He wanted to confront the Drake family! The Drakes might turn


    hostile against them if jackie went over and caused trouble!


    More importantly, how could jackie oppose the entire Drake family’s masters?


    …


    Young Master Drake struggled in pain for quite some time before he could even stand up. He then


    walked out embarrassingly and returned to the Drake family mansion.


    He was more than ready to go to bed as the drinks made him feel dizzy. Thest thing he expected was


    for James, Tanya, and several masters of the Drake family to wait for him when he entered the vi’s


    living room.


    “Father, Tanya, why are you guys here? Why aren’t you guys asleep yet?” Timothy’s face darkened as


    he sensed something was amiss when he noted several Drake family elders were present.


    This only happened when something important had to be announced. Coincidentally, he had fired jackie,


    and it seemed that his sister had ryed the news to them.


    James’ face darkened and questioned Timothy, “You know what you’ve done today, right?”


    Timothy was utterly displeased. “Of course I do. I fired a mere bodyguard, no? Did you have to get a


    crowd here like this? Why did you ask the elders toe out?” came his somewhat apathetic reply as he


    sat down on the sofa.


    Jamesughed bitterly. “What did I tell you? Did you ignore what I’ve told you? I asked you to not offend


    jackie and stay on his good side! Why didn’t you listen?!” James was downright livid at him and was


    close to fainting in his anger. His son made the worst move possible with his deplorable attitude.


    Chapter 758


    Timothy, at that moment, recalled how a marshal failed to defeat jackie. With a guilty conscience, he


    blurted, “I didn’t know jackie could be so powerful! I thought he was just a headmander, unworthy of


    our family’s respect and admiration. I only knew this when a marshal from the Turner family failed to


    defeat him, and that was only after I fired him!”


    “I’ve told you long before that he’s considerably on par with Kings of War. It doesn’t matter even if he’s


    just a one-star King of War! More importantly, he’s well acquainted with the Goddess of War. Can’t you


    see that? The Goddess of War willingly interacted with me because of our rtionship with jackie!”


    James grew increasingly angry the more he thought about it.


    “So what? I can just look for them tomorrow and ask them to return to work as usual!” Timothy had no


    choice but to obey his father after he thought about it. After all, many of the Drakes eyed him sharply and


    none went up to defend him.


    “Think about his temperament! Do you think that he’s short of money if he really is a King of War? The


    country would’ve given him several tens of billions as his reward. We were extremely lucky that


    somebody like him was willing to work as our bodyguard. He agreed to work for us because he was


    bored with nothing to do.


    “Do you think he’d still agree to it now?” Jamesughed. He knew jackie’s identity was not as simple as


    how he portrayed it, but jackie managed to keep himself incredibly low-profile and seldom exposed his


    truebat abilities to the public. This caused others to believe he was a mere headmander.


    “How’s that possible? And does he really have that much money?” Timothy’s face darkened; he made a


    huge mistake if that was true. Still, as he recalled how ordinary jackie was and how he promised to be


    their bodyguard proactively, he still felt that his father’s beliefs were too overboard. How could such a rich


    person agree to be a bodyguard?


    “Bullcrap. He’s definitely a King of War, so it’s only natural he has a lot of money!” scoffed James with a


    cold expression on his face.


    “Why would he willingly work as a bodyguard if he has so much money? If it was me, I wouldn’t work as


    a bodyguard. I don’t want to be looked down at by others!” Timothy frowned. He nced at Tanya who


    was beside him, and his eyes lit up. “Unless… The reason this guy works as our bodyguard isn’t for


    money but for women. I think he likes my sister. If that’s the case, it’s very easy to get into his good


    books. We can just marry Tanya to him, right?”


    Timothy tried to find ways around the matter.


    Though it took a while, Tanya noticed something peculiar in Timothy’s replies and said, “Wait, Brother.


    Did you say ‘them’ just now? What does that mean?”


    Timothy scratched his head in embarrassment. “The thought of jackie talking back at me gued me


    after I drank some wine… So I fired his wife in retaliation.”


    “What?!” James’ chest heaved in anger when he heard this. “You… You! It’s understandable if you


    committed a mistake once, but how dare you make them one after another! You’re ridiculous! Even if


    jackie talked back to you, how could you fire his wife too?!”


    “I… I told you! I was just unhappy at that moment!”


    Chapter 759


    Timothy tried to find an excuse for his actions.


    “Aren’t you afraid of offending him? Let me tell you this: If you end up genuinely offending him, I… I can’t


    even save you!” James was so angry that he was at a loss for words. He had one son, and he turned out


    to be this.


    “Impossible! Are you joking? We’re a first-ss aristocratic family, and we have so many masters here


    with us! While I admit jackie’s good, I don’t believe we’d lose if everyone fights him as a group,” came


    Timothy’s somewhat apathetic reply. He did not believe jackie would be that terrifying.


    James nced at Timothy and announced coldly, “Oh, that’s right. We’re waiting for you here because


    we need to tell you something. I feel that you’re out of focus recently, so I’ve visited South City Group


    only to find out that it’s been losing money. Because of this, South City Group will be managed by your


    sister, Tanya starting from tomorrow. I suppose you can have a breather and a break of sorts.”


    Timothy wondered if he had heard his father wrongly and looked at James dumbfoundedly. “What? Did I


    hear that right, Father? Did you just say South City Group?”


    In Timothy’s point of view, Tanya was just a child and it was difficult for her to bear such great


    responsibility. Apart from that, he was the one who managed South City Group all this while, thus he


    believed no one should interfere with his business. South City Group represented half the Drake family


    group’s businesses, and the ability to manage this group represented the person’s identity in the Drake


    family.


    It was because of this that Timothy had always been extremely proud of himself. He was the subject of


    people’s envious looks whenever he walked outside because the Drake family relied on him to manage


    their businesses.


    While he also managed several smallerpanies, thosepanies were nothing whenpared to


    South City Group.


    “Yes, you heard right. South City Group,” James said indifferently. “While your sister tends to shop quite


    often, I observed thepanies she managed and they’re doing quite well. I believe your sister would do


    a better job than you if I hand South City Group to her!”


    “Father, are you joking?” Timothy was still in disbelief. “Tanya… Tanya is just a young child. How could


    she be more experienced than me at business management? Apart from that, I’ve been managing South


    City Group all this time. I’m aware we’ve started losing money during these few months, but it’s


    temporary. We’ve raked up quite the fortune years before this. Do you not see the sess I’ve


    aplished?”


    He stood up and got increasingly agitated. “You want to change the higher management just because the


    loss we experience these two to three months? Aren’t you afraid that Tanya would fail at managing the


    ce?”


    Jamesughed him off before he replied, “Don’t you worry. I’ve thought about it and discussed it with


    several higher-ups many times before I made this decision. You’re definitely unsuitable to continue


    working as South City Group’s highest management with your current situation and status!”


    Suddenly, Harvey ran into the room with several other bodyguards. “Master, Master! Something bad is


    happening!” There was a deep frown on his face as he spoke. “Big Brother… No, jackie is here with his


    wife, and he wants an exnation from us. If he’s not satisfied with our exnation, he…he’d make his


    move!”


    Chapter 760


    “He… He’s too brash! What does he mean by ‘make his move’? Father, listen to him. His actions are a


    disrespect to the Drake family!” Timothy sucked in a deep breath when he heard what the bodyguards


    were saying about jackie. Admittingly, he was scared. Did Selena tell jackie what happened in the office?


    He first recalled the fact that he did not manage to take advantage of Selena. It did not matter if Selena


    was embarrassed or she had the intention of actually manipting the Drake family; she would not have


    told jackie about what happened between them.


    Thest thing Timothy expected was for jackie to look for him, and that meant big trouble.


    Because of this, he had to provoke the rtionship between his father and jackie.


    “He’s doing too much. This is threatening our Drake family!” One of the Drake family’s masters was


    displeased. This master’s fighting abilities were much stronger than Spectre. He feared no marshals and


    was able to fight with Kings of War.


    This master was the first one to stand up against jackie’s threats.


    “Yes, what Elder Gordon says makes sense. This guy always acts like this, and we should put him in his


    ce!” Timothy was relieved that someone shared his stance in the matter, and it was someone powerful


    to boot.


    “How dare you agree to the master? He’s brave enough to say it because he’s got the power to back it


    up!” Tanya red at his brother before looking at James. “Father, what should we do now? It seems that


    jackie is unhappy about Timothy firing his wife. He wouldn’t havee here if it wasn’t for this matter.”


    “Tanya, what you’re doing here is uplifting others and destroying your own. How would we know that


    Elder Gordon isn’t his match without even attempting anything?” snapped Timothy.


    “Yes, Miss Tanya. Are you looking down on us masters, or do you ce too much faith in jackie?” Elder


    Gordon was slightly unhappy. He was considered one of the best masters in the Drake family though he


    had never fought with jackie. Tanya’s words tantly meant she looked down on them and stated that


    they were not jackie’s opponents.


    “Elder Gordon, don’t make a move without my order. jackie is here asking for an exnation, and he


    didn’t tell us straightforwardly what he wanted to do. This means that there are ways to settle this!”


    James thought about it and said, “Let’s go and discuss it with him. It might work if we apologize and ask


    them to return to work tomorrow.”


    Many people nodded and they followed James outside.


    …


    James and hispany eventually arrived at the mansion’s front door. jackie and his wife, Selena, stood


    right outside in silence.


    As everyone gathered, Tanya was the first to walk forward and offered her apologies. “ jackie, I heard


    that my brother fired Sister Selena in anger. I’m very sorry for that,” Tanya spoke solemnly. “My brother


    tends to speak nonsense whenever he’s drunk. He was just in his feelings, so please don’t take him


    seriously.”


    “Indeed. Timothy was angry, so whatever he said was only out of his emotions. Go back, rest, ande


    back for work tomorrow.” James was pleased with how understanding his daughter was, and jackie might


    reconsider his actions after he heard Tanya’s sincere words. After all, was it not petty to be calctive


    with a drunk person?


    “Come on, jackie, let’s just leave it at that.”


    Chapter 761


    Selena was slightly afraid when she saw that many people in front of her. Most of the bodyguards were


    also there. Soon, there were one to two hundred people at the Drake family’s side. She immediately


    persuaded jackie.


    However, jackie still stood there and did not move. He looked at Timothy coldly and said, “Timothy,e


    over, kneel, and apologize to my wife. Kowtow three times and I will let things slide. If not, you’ll regret it


    when I make my move!”


    “Bastard, aren’t you being too much?!” Elder Gordon could not handle it anymore. He was originally


    cranky so he walked two steps forward, looked at jackie, and said, “This is the Drake family! Do you


    know who Timothy is? He’s the eldest young master of our family! It’s fine to directly address him by his


    name, but, how dare you ask someone as honorable as him to kneel and kowtow to you! You’re being


    really arrogant!”


    jackie looked at this old man coldly before saying. “I’m speaking to Timothy so please don’t interrupt our


    conversation!”


    “You…” Elder Gordon was extremely angry and held his hands into fists. “Sure. They all mentioned that


    you are strong and since you dare act so presumptuously in front of the Drake family mansion, let me try


    you!”


    “Elder Gordon, stop!” James immediately stopped him.


    He smiled at jackie after Elder Gordon stopped. “ jackie, my son really acted impulsive after several


    drinks. I hope you can understand him!” James paused here before continuing. “How about this. You


    guys cane back for work and I will pay you double your sry next month. Apart from that, I will pay


    you one hundred million aspensation. How does that sound?”


    As the richest man in Eastfield, James had already made a hugepromisation by saying this.


    “Master Drake, I’m sorry but what happened today cannot be solved with money. If it wasn’t because the


    Drake family treated me well and I consider Miss Tanya as my best friend, everybody here would have


    died, and you would be waiting for your bodies to be collected!” jackie raised his hand and pointed at the


    people in front of him. His tone was in but his words were extremely domineering.


    “Honey…” Selena was speechless. She knew something like this was going to happen with her


    husband’s character. The Drake family had already taken such a huge step back but jackie still refused


    to back away.


    “You f*cker!” Elder Gordon could not hold it back any longer. He forgot James’s instructions, stepped


    forward, and rushed toward jackie with his hands balled into fists.


    jackie curled his lips into a cold smile when he saw how the other party initiated the attack. He balled his


    hands into fists and punched toward the opponent too.


    With a slightly dull bang, Elder Gordon flew outward. He flew several meters away before stepping on


    the ground and stabilizing his body.


    “You can’t take such a small amount of my force. How dare you act arrogantly in front of me?” jackie


    nced at the opponent in disdain. He had a kingly aura and a contempt for the world as he spoke.


    Elder Gordon was shocked. jackie’s punch seemed simple but the power in it was so terrifying that it


    threw him into the air while jackie was still standing there firmly.


    What jackie said also caused him to be afraid!


    Chapter 762


    ”Elder Gordon, stop! Are you refusing to listen to me?” James also noticed that Elder Gordon was


    definitely not jackie’s opponent.


    However, he had already made a move. After his failure, he could only stand there and re at jackie.


    After all, he might die very miserably if he rushed forward and fought jackie. If he stopped right now, he


    would lose his face.


    Elder Gordon humphed coldly after he heard what James said. “Young man, I’ll bear with it today


    because my master asked me to. However, this is the Drake family mansion, if you dare act rampantly, I


    will not hold back anymore!” Elder Gordon retreated after he said that.


    The corners of Timothy’s mouth twitched several times. He finally noticed that if Elder Gordon acted


    alone, he was definitely not jackie’s opponent. Apart from that, Elder Gordon was someone who loved to


    protect his dignity. He left these words just so he could exit with honor.


    “Alright, jackie. How about this? It’s fine if you and Miss Selena don’t want toe back to work. This


    time, my son was the one who acted impulsively. I will give you eight hundred million. How about that?


    Let’s agree to let it go! ” After thinking about it, James gritted his teeth and proactively said.


    In his opinion, this amount ofpensation was already more than enough. Apart from that, he just


    found out that his son fired the two of them not too long ago. He was slightly unhappy when jackie did


    not want to let this go.


    However, he knew that he could not offend jackie, so he could only hope that he could spend money to


    avoid disaster.


    “Honey, why don’t we just let it go. Eight hundred million is already a lot!” Selena bit her lips and


    persuaded jackie.


    It was a pity as jackie still sneered. “Master Drake, I would have killed your son if it weren’t for Tanya! My


    request is simple, he needs to kneel down and apologize to my wife. He also needs to p himself ten


    times. Otherwise, I will take action!”


    ” jackie, aren’t you asking for too much?” Even Tanya got angry. She looked at jackie in disbelief. “My


    brother shouldn’t have fired you nor your wife. After all, your wife did nothing wrong. No matter what, my


    brother is the young master of the Drake family. How should my brother continue living his life if he


    kneels down and apologizes to your wife? You even asked him to p himself in the face.”


    ” jackie, please consider this. Eight hundred million is really a lot, why don’t you think about it again?”


    Yvonne bit her lips. She did not expect jackie to make this matter such a huge ordeal. This was


    somewhat unlike the jackie she knew.


    However, jackie sneered and said, “there is nothing to consider. It doesn’t matter if Young Master


    Timothy fired my wife. However, he tried to take advantage of my wife after several drinks. He went to


    the office, locked the door, and tried to forcefully take advantage of my wife. If my wife hadn’t found the


    opportunity to kick him and escaped, she might have suffered!”


    Having said that, jackie looked at Yvonne and questioned her. “Miss Yvonne, would you easily forgive


    such a person if you were in such a situation? If someone harassed you and gave you some money to


    silence you, would you be able to forgive that person?”


    “How’s this possible? Brother, you…you actually treated sister Selena…” Tanya finally realized that


    jackie’s anger was not just about Timothy firing his wife. It turned out that her brother actually went to the


    company alone and tried to rape jackie’s wife.


    If this happened to another man, they might have been afraid of the Drake family or they might have


    chosen money to avoid disaster.


    However, if it was a burly and hardcore man like jackie, it was impossible to ask for his forgiveness.


    “He…he’s talking nonsense!”


    Chapter 763


    Timothy was so frightened. He could only grit his teeth and refused to admit to it when he saw so many


    people looking at him.


    “Nonsense?” This time, even Selena could not stand it and looked at Timothy bitterly. “Timothy, I didn’t


    expect you to be a coward who dared not admit to what you did. If you say so, why don’t we head to the


    company and ask the people there? We have so many employees, do you think they didn’t hear


    anything?”


    Timothy’s face instantly turned blue and purple when he heard what she said. Yes, it was definitely


    difficult to exin what happened previously.


    Originally, he could tell people in thepany that it was Selena who wanted to seduce him. Many


    people would have believed what he said. Now that jackie has brought his wife to his house, nobody


    would have believed him if he used this excuse. That would be extremely troublesome.


    “You…you bastard!” James finally realized what a nasty thing his son had done. He stepped forward and


    pped Timothy with all his might. “I’m really disappointed in you. I thought that you had just fired the


    two of them, I didn’t expect you to try to force Miss Selena. No wonder jackie is so angry!”


    Elder Gordon, who originally felt that jackie had gone overboard, finally realized that he was almost


    manipted by Timothy. If he was in this position and his woman was almost raped by somebody else,


    he would have killed that person early on.


    As for jackie’s action of asking Timothy to kneel down and apologize while pping himself ten times


    was actually very kind of jackie. He did this because of his history with the Drake family and he was


    giving Tanya face.


    Timothy, who was pped in the cheeks, covered his face in anger. “Father, you…you actually hit me


    because of this? I admit that I was impulsive at that time. I had too many drinks and Selena looked really


    pretty. She even had a short skirt on. Isn’t that very normal? Besides, I was unsessful in my attempt!”


    “unsessful? If you seeded, none of you here would leave Eastfield alive!” jackie sneered after he


    heard this, and walked step by step toward Timothy.


    His eyes were filled with a murderous aura. The aura was the same one that sent shivers down


    everyone’s spine on the battlefield.


    “Do you still feel that you did nothing wrong? I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it!” jackie


    approached step by step and his voice was very low. He had a scary and invisible aura around him that


    made people feel repressed.


    “You fool, why aren’t you kneeling down and apologizing yet? Hurry up and do what jackie said! Kneel


    down and apologize to Miss Selena. Hurry up and p yourself!” James was very frightened. The other


    masters in the Drake Family stood there and were all frightened too. They knew that jackie was about to


    take action.


    After all, Timothy did make a mistake this time and they were all embarrassed to make moves.


    “I won’t apologize! I’m the young master of the Drake family, why should I apologize to them?!” Timothy


    gritted his teeth and looked at jackie. He did not believe that jackie would dare take action. After all, the


    Drake family was the biggest known power in this province.


    jackie directly jumped up and kicked Timothy on his crotch. Timothy flew outward.


    The next second, Timothy hit the ground far away and fainted.


    Chapter 764


    Timothy’s pants seeped with fresh blood. It was a frightening sight.


    The corners of James’s mouth twitched. His features were twisted into a grimace, but he did not let a


    single word slip from him.


    The entire area waspletely silent—so silent that you could hear a pin drop!


    This was the Young Master of the Drake family, and yet jackie hadshed out against him all the same.


    Now he justy there, and no one knew if he was still alive.


    “Master…”


    Spectre stepped forward, frowning. He did not know what to say.


    He knew that James’s heart was filled with excruciating pain.


    “Come forward all you like, if you wish to avenge him. But I’m afraid that you won’t be able to bear the


    consequences once you make the first move!” jackie said, expression stony.


    Although James’s insides were twisted with agony, he forced himself to smile. “It’s all right, jackie, so


    long as you let off some steam! Just say the word if you need any morepensation!”


    jackie gave a wan smile. “No need!”


    He wheeled around and left, taking Selena with him. “Don’t worry. Your son isn’t dead. But I can’t say for


    certain if he’ll be producing any heirs in the future.”


    Selena nced behind her shoulder, afraid that the fighters and the bodyguards employed by the Drake


    family would rush forward. She only released a sigh of relief once they got onto the car and drove off.


    “Are you sure Timothy won’t be rendered infertile from that kick of yours, Dear? James only has him as


    the only son, after all. Won’t he try to take revenge in the future? I know you’re venting your anger, but


    I’m still afraid!”


    Selena frowned, her expression morphing to that of concern.


    jackie nced at her and managed a mirthless smile. “Don’t worry. James is smart enough. He won’t


    cause trouble for me even if his son can no longer produce heirs for their family. I’ve already been kind


    enough to him by sparing his son’s life. No man has the right to touch my wife. You suffered so much for


    me and our daughter’s sake. You paid the price for so many years. I won’t let you go through any more


    humiliation!”


    Warmth filled Selena as she heard him speak such earnest words. She pursed her lips before she spoke,


    “All right then. I just never expected that you would have no fear even with the Drake family! This is far


    beyond my expectations!”


    jackie did not know whether tough or cry after he heard that. “Dear, would you be touched or


    frightened if all nine of the Gods of War came to your birthday party?”


    Selena went speechless for a while when she heard that. Then she rolled her eyes. “What are you


    saying? It’ll be an utmost honor even if only Lana came. How can all nine of the Gods of Ware?


    Besides, they’re so busy, and every second of theirs is extremely precious. How could they have the time


    to spare for me?”


    Here, Selena seemed to think of something, then she said jokingly, “Don’t tell me that you’re the master


    of the nine Gods of War? Each of the Gods of War is strong in their own way, and they’re extremely


    powerful. If they even had a master, he would not even be human!”


    jackie gave a curious expression. Did his wife just tell him that he was not human right to his face?


    He gave a brittle smile and asked, “What is he then, if not human?”


    “A god!”


    Selena spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, “What kind of a person would a master of the nine Gods of War be


    if not a god? But of course, there’s no one like that. In the future, don’t simply joke that you’re the master


    of the Gods of War. It’ll be troublesome if someone were to write a report about it and spread the news


    about you.”


    Here, Selena drew a finger across her throat. “You’re writing yourself a death sentence if you anger the


    Gods of War,” she said. “It won’t get any better just because you’re good friends with Lana. A joke like


    this is too frightening!”


    jackie ced his hand on her thigh when he heard that, shing a small smile. “All right. I’ll listen to you,


    dear. I won’t im that they’re my disciples anymore, okay? But I still hope that they cane over and


    celebrate on the day of your birthday!”


    “You hope?”


    Chapter 765


    Selena did not know whether tough or cry. “What use is there in hoping? Why should I have hope if


    they’re not going toe!”


    “Do you really want them toe? Then I should invite them over!”


    jackie smiled and spoke in a confident tone, “I believe that they’ll definitely preserve my dignity!”


    “My goodness. You’re speaking as though you had plenty of dignity, to begin with!”


    Selena rolled her eyes at him. Then she noticed that his hand was on her thigh. She picked it up, cheeks


    flushing. “Drive properly and don’t put your hands everywhere. Seriously!”


    “Looks like you’re embarrassed!”


    jackie chuckled. “I’ll ce it everywhere when it’s bedtime. How about that?”


    The pink on Selena’s cheeks deepened. “I can’t be bothered with you, you pervert! Now we’re both


    jobless, and you’ve offended the Drake family. I just pray that James really won’te for us, like what


    you said!”


    “Don’t worry. He would have done something just now if he wanted to take revenge! Would he have let


    us leave just like that?”


    They quickly arrived at the vi. After he parked the car, jackie said, “Oh, right. Let me tell you how I was


    fired by Timothy!”


    “Oh, yeah. I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. Timothy said that you talked against him.


    What on earth happened? Weren’t you doing your job just fine for the Drake family?”


    Selena immediately asked as the thought popped into her head.


    “That’s because I struck big today—I won a bet worth one billion dors just like that!”


    jackie got down from the car. “So don’t worry. I earned a billion dors today,” he said, grinning. “We’ll be


    fine even if you stay at home and be a housewife. We can even go for a honeymoon when we’re


    free!”


    “Our child is already so big, and you’re still thinking of a honeymoon? Only you could think of something


    like that!”


    Selena’s heart was leaping in delight. She wound her arm around jackie’s and walked toward the vi’s


    entrance. “So tell me, how did you win the billion dors?”


    “Billiards. Because…”


    jackie then told everything that had transpired in the morning to Selena.


    “You learned to y that fast? You’ve never yed it before, but you just knew how to y once you got


    into it. And you won a billion dors?”


    Shock rippled throughout Selena when she finished listening to the story.


    …


    At the moment in the Drake family’s residence.


    After jackie left, Tanya ran over to check on Timothy, who was still unconscious. She furrowed her brows


    and looked at her father. “What do we do, Dad?”


    “What else can we do but to quickly take him to the hospital? If jackie says he’s not dead, he’s not dead.


    We need to get him to the hospital immediately. Let’s pray that Timothy will still be able to have heirs. But


    his future will be even more uncertain if we’re a second toote!”


    James immediately dered before ordering his men to take his son to the hospital.


    He released a sigh. “Seriously. Why would Timothy dare to do something like that? He really dug a grave


    for himself!”


    Chapter 766 “Master, are we really going to let this slide just like that? The young master… He’s…”


    One of the fighters stepped forward and asked James.


    Although he could not say that the young master did not deserve it, jackie had just brought his wife to the


    Drake family’s residence and beat Young Master Drake into a pulp. Plenty of passersby outside would


    have seen everything.


    This was a cause of extreme humiliation for the Drake family. Fortunately, not many people had


    witnessed the incident, but the Drake family’s reputation had really been trampled on.


    “I really think there’s no way out of this. jackie is too strong. There’s no way to take him on by oneself—at


    least for me!”


    Elder Gordon finally spoke up after he thought about it. In reality, he wanted to say that it would be


    useless even if all of them went for jackie at the same time. He tried to tone it down though, for the sake


    of their dignity.


    “It’s obvious that jackie has full confidence, judging from how he spoke just now. He’s very sure of


    himself. So all we can do is to forget about this incident!”


    James gave a helpless smile. “I’ve already chided Timothy so many times, but he simply refused to listen


    to me. Never mind that he fired both jackie and Selena, but he actually dared to touch thetter. Ah. If it


    were you, wouldn’t you think about killing him? jackie had been considering the rtionship between us


    from before, and his friendship with Tanya, that’s why…”


    The fighters could do nothing but bob their heads in obedience when they heard him say that, keeping as


    quiet as they could.


    “Dad, we’re missing a procurement manager in South Hill Real Estate now that Miss Taylor has quit her


    job. What do we do?”


    Tanya added after she thought about it, “Besides, I’m afraid that it’ll turn awry for us if the Taylor family


    continues to be in charge of that project…”


    James nodded his head. “You’re right. If news of how jackie had beaten your brother up gets out, and


    how we did not retaliate, the Drake family will definitely be aughing stock. We should be stirring


    up some trouble for him, after all. How about this? You take charge of South Hill Real Estate and make


    Sonia take the position of procurement manager. I pray she doesn’t let me down!”


    Tanya nodded her head. “I’ll get Sonia to terminate the contract with the Taylor family. And we won’t


    compensate for the breach of contract either. Let’s just do that as our ‘retaliation’. It won’t be so


    embarrassing for us if word of this gets out then!”


    Hearing those words fall from her mouth felt like a joke. The Drake family was the strongest, richest


    family in the entire Eastfield. It was extremely embarrassing that her older brother had been beaten—and


    beaten into that state. This sort of retaliation was truly a joke, but it was better than nothing. It would


    convey the Drake family’s stance toward the matter.


    Elder Gordon considered everything carefully before he made a suggestion, “Master, why don’t we just


    tell everyone that the young master’s injuries are not too serious even if they’re actually serious or if he


    bes impotent. This way, we’ll only be dissolving our cooperation with the Taylor family because he


    was not too seriously injured. It won’t be that embarrassing if we put it that way.”


    James thought that it made sense. “You’re right. We’ll go over to the hospital in a while and check up on


    my son. His condition must be kept a secret. We’ll get the doctors to diagnose that he has mild injuries


    from a fistfight. There’ll be nothing serious!”


    After jackie and Selena went back, they quickly showered and went downstairs, sitting together at the


    table for dinner.


    “Selena, jackie has been fired by Timothy!”


    Fiona smiled. “But it doesn’t matter. jackie won a billion dors from billiards,” she said. “One whole


    billion! He lost his job, but it’s great that he has a billion to his name now. We won’t have to worry about


    having no money in the future! This money doesn’t belong to the entire Taylor family. It belongs to us!”


    Chapter 767 Selena gave a bitter smile. “Ma, jackie already told me about this,” she said. “Actually, I’ve


    been fired as well. No—I quit. I didn’t want to do it anymore!”


    “What!”


    The smile on Fiona’s face immediately froze. “ jackie had been fired forshing against Young Master


    Drake, and he hadshed out because of the billion dors in the first ce,” she said, stupefied. “This is


    completely understandable, but why did you quit? This is an entirely different matter.”


    Selena flicked her gaze between jackie and Fiona. “It’s nothing. I just don’t want to continue doing that


    job any longer,” she lied, fearing that her mother would fret for her. “It’s pointless to me. More importantly,


    my subordinates don’t cooperate with me, and they even talk about me behind my back!”


    “You’re out of your mind, Selena. jackie doesn’t have a job now, and neither do you. Plus, your sry


    was so high!”


    Andrew shook his head and took a sip of wine. “But it doesn’t matter now. You’ve already quit, so now


    we’ll just have to be wise with the money we have. It should be enough.”


    “You’re right, Dad,” Ben chipped in, grinning. “We only need enough money to live on. We can’t be like


    Ma, who only has eyes for money. We should always be satisfied with whatever we have!”


    “What are you saying, you brat? What sane person would give up their chances of getting more money?


    Why shouldn’t we want more, knowing that we could have more?”


    Fiona red at her son. “Besides, ten billion isn’t a lot either. It all depends on how you spend it. I heard


    that a jeweler in Eastfield has recently crafted an extremely expensive ne. It’s entirelyid with


    diamonds, and more importantly, it’s one of its kind in the entire world. There’s also a huge ruby as its


    main jewel. It’s absolutely gorgeous! It’s called ‘Heart of the Abyss’, or something like that anyway!”


    “Really? It’s just a ne though. No way that it’s worth more than a hundred million!”


    Ben smiled and spoke nonchntly. He raised his ss of wine and took a sip from it. “The taste of this


    red wine is splendid, and it cost over twenty thousand dors. This is a luxury to me already!”


    “You’re so narrow-minded. They say that that ne is worth more than 900 million dors—almost up


    to a billion!”


    Fiona continued, “There’s only one of its kind in the world. But more importantly, this ne is the


    jeweler’s true treasure. They don’t have any intentions of selling it off. They’re just putting it on exhibition


    at a critical moment!”


    “Pfft!”


    Ben spat some of his wine out. “What the f*ck. That’s way too expensive!”


    “What are you saying? Of course, the ne is expensive!”


    Fiona rolled her eyes at him. “If only I could afford something like that!”


    jackie was surprised as well when he heard that. He took a sip of wine. “Such an expensive ne


    would definitely look good on Selena. Ruby…I remember that you like red!”


    Selena shed a bitter smile. “What use is there to like it? No way I can wear something like that.


    Besides, they won’t sell it even if we want to buy it!”


    Chapter 768 jackie could only manage a smile. “Mother, where is this ne housed?” he asked


    Fiona. “Why haven’t I heard of this!”


    “It’s on the second floor in Tamsin Mall—the biggest jeweler there. The jewels they sell there are


    seriously expensive,” she replied. “A regr person would be too embarrassed to walk in there. Any item


    of theirs is easily worth over a hundred thousand!”


    Fiona paused here before continuing, “I so happened to catch their advertisement banner while I was


    passing by. That’s how I knew. They imported the jewel from Gin City, and they’re preparing to exhibit it


    in a few days. It’s being advertised on television too!


    “No regr person would be able to dream of wearing it!”


    Andrew gave an indifferent smile. “The rarest things are the ones that are the most expensive in this


    world. Of course, the ne would be so expensive, if it were the only one of its kind. It’s normal for it


    to be worth over 900 million!”


    “More importantly, no one has ever worn that ne before. It’s been used for exhibitions. They had


    wanted to find someone to help shoot an advertisement, but it seems like there are no celebrities who


    were suitable to wear it. Their boss is a very crafty person!”


    Fiona said, smiling.


    jackie and the others went upstairs after they finished their meal.


    “Oh, I can finally sleep in tomorrow now that I don’t have to go to work!”


    Selena smiled bitterly and loosened a breath. “But I’m still a little worried, dear. What if the Drake family


    doesn’t forgive us ande to us looking for trouble? I really suspect that that kick of yours has


    rendered Young Master Drake impotent!”


    jackie thought about it for a while. “It’s very likely that he’ll have to be castrated,” he said. “No way about


    it though. Who said that he could bully my wife? No one bullies my wife like that!”


    After he said that, he nced toward Selena. A wicked grin spread across his lips. “Dear, why don’t we


    get all tangled up tonight, since you don’t have work tomorrow?”


    Selena’s face immediately reddened when she heard this. “Oh, quiet. You’re such a pervert!”


    “Can’t help it. You’re too beautiful!”


    jackie chuckled and nted his lips on Selena’s.


    For the remainder of the night, Selena felt extremely tired. When she woke up the next morning, it was


    already ten o’clock.


    “Thank goodness I don’t have to go to work today. I’d be extremelyte otherwise!”


    Selena’s lips twisted into a wry smile when she saw the time.


    She craned her head around—only to find that jackie was already gone. “What on earth? He’s not


    working anymore either. Since when did he disappear?”


    At the moment, jackie was already outside the biggest shopping mall in the city. He took the elevator and


    got off on the second floor, heading toward the exclusive jeweler’s shop.


    He went straight for the entrance. A young, pretty saleswoman weed him. “Wee, sir. Are you


    looking for any gems in particr?”


    jackie nodded his head. “I’m here to buy the ‘Heart of the Abyss’!” he said. “Where is it?”


    The saleswoman was stunned when she heard that. She recollected her wits after a few seconds had


    passed. “Ahem. You’re such a jester, sir,” she said, smiling. “The Heart of the Abyss is extremely


    expensive. Not just anyone can afford it. The nes we have on public disy here are already


    worth 100 to 200 thousand dors. We only have the best products here. Besides, we shipped the Heart


    of the Abyss here for an exhibition. It’s not for sale!”


    “Isn’t it worth 900 million dors? I’ll pay two billion. How about that?”


    jackie believed that anything could be bought so long as the price was right. After all, a ne like that


    was still a product.


    Chapter 769 “Are you joking, sir? It’s 900 million dors, and you’re increasing its worth to two billion?”


    The pretty saleswoman was tickled by jackie’s words.


    Another saleswoman walked over after she heard that. “Go out and take a closer look at the


    advertisement outside our store, sir. Is 900 million written there? If the Abyss is worth merely 900 million,


    everyone should just sell all their assets to buy it first. They’ll be earning big dors after they get it!”


    “It’s not 900 million?”


    Frowning, jackie walked out; the two pretty saleswoman tailed after him.


    He looked at the price tag, scanning through the chain of ‘0’s right after the digit 9. He silently counted


    the zeroes twice, and shock suddenly seized him. “It’s nine billion! Seems like my mother-inw


    miscounted and missed a zero there!”


    “Why don’t you take a look at our other merchandise, sir? It’s clear that you can afford it, and we carry


    plenty of exquisite nes here. The Heart of the Abyss is definitely not for sale. And it’s not worth just


    900 million dors—it’s nine billion!”


    The first saleswoman to have greeted jackie gave a wan smile.


    Although jackie was wearing regr clothing, she noted that he dared to pay two billion dors. He was


    probably a wealthy man who liked to keep a low profile.


    However, his mother-inw had missed a zero in her calctions, causing him to run into this kerfuffle.


    She believed that he would have given up on the ne long ago if he knew that it was worth nine


    billion dors. There was too big of a gap between 900 million and nine billion; that single digit made all


    the difference. No one would spend that much money to buy such an expensive ne.


    That was why jackie would certainly give up on the Heart of the Abyss if she said that. It was way too


    expensive. Even someone from a second-ss aristocratic family would have to think twice before


    buying it.


    “Oh my. What a coincidence, jackie. What are you doing? Buying jewelry for your wife? A diamond ring,


    perhaps?”


    At this moment, a young man walked in, a beautiful young woman in tow. Several bodyguards trailed


    behind them.


    jackie immediately shed a frosty smile when he recognized the intruder. It was Kelly, the young master


    of the Gold family, and Cecilia Taylor.


    “I’m buying a ne. What diamond ring? I’ll bring my wife over to pick it out herself when we’re both


    free!”


    jackie replied, a mirthless smile twisting his lips.


    “Take your time!”


    Kelly guffawed before turning to another saleswoman. “Bring out all the expensive diamond rings here,


    as well as the bracelets and earrings and nes and whatnot. I want the entire set!”


    “Thank you, dear!”


    The smile on Cecilia’s face brightened. She lifted her chin slightly, pride etched over her expression.


    “You’re so nice to me, dear. Unlike someone else who doesn’t have money and is too embarrassed to


    bring his wife over to pick out a ring. He’s probably scared that she’ll choose an expensive one, and he


    won’t be able to bring himself to spend the money. It would be so shameful for him!”


    “Really? Then I want to see how much your husband is willing to pay for you, exactly. You’re going to


    wear them during your wedding, right? Aren’t you afraid that no one would even attend your wedding, let


    alone someone to look at it when you wear it?”


    jackie chuckled after he heard that, casually standing to the side and anticipating the jewelry they would


    pick out.


    “You kidding me? I’m getting married. And what about you? You’re just throwing a birthday party for your


    wife. You’re the one who’ll be crying then!”


    Cecilia rolled her eyes at him, picking up a ring and slipping it onto her finger.


    Chapter 770 “I like this, babe! Can I get it?” Cecilia asked.


    “Of course. You’re going to wear this on our wedding day. It’s about 50 million dors, and it’s all worth it


    so long as you like it. Just buy!”


    Kelly grinned.


    “Oh, this ne is so pretty. It’s a little expensive. About 100 million dors!”


    Soon enough, Cecilia had her eyes set upon a gorgeous ne. It was expensive, evenpared to


    the other items in the shop.


    “It’s not expensive at all. It’s nothing. This ne looks good. You’ll definitely be the brightest star on


    the wedding day while wearing this!”


    Kellyughed.


    After a while, they chose quite a few pieces of jewelry. The bill totaled to over 300 million dors.


    They paid for the jewelry, then they noticed that jackie still had not bought anything. Cecilia smiled.


    “What’s wrong? You’re too shy to choose anything? Are you scared that we’llugh at you, saying that


    it’s too cheap? Didn’t you just win 90 million dors from my man here? You should have quite a bit of


    money on you now. Furthermore, you have your own money, so you should have about 200 million in


    total. Yet you don’t dare to buy anything too expensive?”


    Kelly went along with her and said, “don’t forget, my dear Cecilia, that he just boasted about throwing a


    birthday party that would rock the entire city. If he buys all this and spends hundreds of millions, he won’t


    have much left. He’s spending a lot of money already—reserving the hotel, stuff like that. That’s why he’s


    just buying all these jewelry as a mere token!”


    Cecilia pretended a look of realization. “Oh, that’s right! I almost forgot. He won’t even be able to afford


    the banquet if he isn’t careful with his money. Or he won’t be able to afford avish meal. He’ll be a truly


    laughing stock then!”


    She paused here before continuing leisurely, “Besides, no one pays that much attention to jewelry. So it’s


    enough to simply buy something that’s worth ten or twenty thousand!”


    “That’s right. Let’s go, Cecilia. He’ll be too embarrassed to pick something out if we linger here. Let’s


    quickly go and get out of his hair. We’ll let this poor son-inw choose some cheap stuff for his wife!”


    Young Master Goldughed. He came before jackie, looked down upon jackie with his head held high,


    before sauntering out of the store, along with Cecilia.


    After they left, jackie only noticed that the saleswoman who had been ready to bring out a few items for


    him was giving him a strange look.


    “So you’re that son-inw!”


    She gave a bitter smile. “It’s all right so long as you mean it. No need topare yourself to those


    people!”


    He gave a small smile when heard this. “Don’t worry. I’m not going topare myself to trash like them.


    After all, a family like the Gold family has no right topare themselves to me!”


    “You talk big. But why don’t you actually pick something out?”


    The saleswoman who had sold Cecilia her jewelry gave a cold smile from the side. “They don’t have the


    right topare themselves to you? It sounds as though you’re richer than them. Then buy something! I


    want to see what you buy!”


    jackie could not be bothered with her. He turned toward the first saleswoman. “I’m going to buy the Heart


    of the Abyss because my wife likes it—at least, I trust that she will like it. Besides, she’s the only woman


    who’s beautiful enough to wear it!”


    The saleswoman was speechless. She gave a wry smile. “Sir, that friend of yours said that you only have


    200 million dors on you. The Heart of the Abyss is nine billion, not 900 million! You’ve verified that fact


    for yourself just now. More importantly, we have no intention of selling it!”


    “Nine billion?”


    jackie furrowed his brows. He thought about it for a while before speaking: “How about this? I’ll pay 20


    billion! I thought that it was worth 900 million, that’s why I offered 2 billion. I never thought that I’d miss a


    zero there. Then allow me to add a zero to my offer as well. I’ll buy it from you for 20 billion!”


    “20 billion!”


    Chapter 771 The saleswoman before him exchanged a nce with the plump saleswoman who had


    sneered upon jackie. They both took sharp intakes of breath.


    “Sir, are–are you sure that you said 20 billion? Did I hear wrongly?”


    The saleswoman gulped. She suspected that she was hallucinating.


    “You didn’t hear wrong. Your boss is a businessman. I don’t care about how big your jewelry business is,


    but businessmen are out to make money. I know that you won’t be able to make a decision as big as


    this. So why don’t you call your superior and ask about it?”


    jackie said after thinking about it.


    “All right. I’ll talk to our manager!”


    The saleswoman rushed into the office and called the manager out.


    Yet the manager was not able to call the shots either. He smiled at jackie. “Sir, we don’t disy the Heart


    of the Abyss outside. Instead, we keep it inside for safeguarding. I can’t make the final decision, but


    you’re in luck. Our district manager who oversees for the Southwest district, so happens to be here.


    Please follow me, sir. I’ll take you to see him.”


    “All right!”


    jackie nodded his head.


    He was quickly led into a tunnel by the manager. They wound their way in for a good few meters before


    the manager opened a heavy steel door. They entered the room.


    A beauty in her thirties was lying on the couch. It was evident she was tired, and she was closing her


    eyes and resting.


    “Manager Lowe, didn’t I tell you to not disturb me if there isn’t anything going on? We’ll be putting the


    Heart of the Abyss on exhibition tomorrow. I’ve been meeting with the media, and I’m tired. I need a good


    rest today!”


    The middle-aged woman wore a crisp white shirt, and she radiated a powerful aura. After she said that,


    she looked at jackie. “Why did you bring a man in?” she asked impatiently.


    jackie ignored her. His attention was already pinned onto a ne inside a ss casing that stood in


    the middle of the room. A jewel the color of dark blood was its crowning glory, and the other gemstones


    sparkling in its circumference made it seem even more otherworldly. It was magnificent.


    “So this is the Heart of the Abyss. It’s beautiful. No wonder it’s selling for such a high price!”


    Hemented as he walked over and observed it.


    “Hey! Who are you? Who told you that you could just waltz in here? Don’t you dare get close to the


    Abyss!”


    The beauty shot up to her feet and gave jackie a warning re. This was an extremely expensive item.


    What if he was up to no good?


    “Manager Lynch, this customer wishes to buy the Heart of the Abyss. That’s why I brought him in!”


    Store Manager Lowe exined to the district manager.


    jackie also studied Manager Lynch. He could tell that she was no ordinary woman. Judging from her


    eyes and her taut, yet rxed position, she was probably a good fighter.


    “We’re not selling!”


    Manager Lynch rxed a little after she heard that. “Manager Lowe, it’s not like you don’t know that


    there’s only one of its kind in the world. This is our crown jewel, and we use it specially for publicity.


    We’re just bringing it here for an exhibition. I may be the district manager of the Southwest, but even I


    can’t do much. Besides, this item is not for sale!”


    Chapter 772 “I’m sorry, sir, but we’re not selling this. Our manager was not clear about this. I apologize


    for wasting your precious time!”


    It was evident that the beautiful manager before him was slightly unhappy, but she knew that not any


    person could think of buying the Heart of the Abyss. That was why she shed a radiant smile at jackie.


    “Ma’am, this man here is offering us 20 billion dors. That’s why I wanted to ask you about this. He’s


    offering a huge sum. What if the people up top consider selling it? I was afraid that you would pin the


    me on me if we missed the opportunity!”


    Store Manager Lowe’s eyes flickered toward Manager Lynch’s. He spoke hesitantly.


    “20 billion?”


    Naturally, Manager Lynch was surprised when she heard this number. Her lips parted. This man was


    offering too much.


    This was just a ne. Was it worth it to spend that much money on it?


    The ne was very beautiful though. Any woman would like it.


    “Can you make the decision, Manager Lynch?”


    jackie gave a wan smile. “I simply must obtain this ne!” he added.


    “I–I’ll ask the boss at our headquarters. I’ll immediately video call him!”


    Manager Lynch gulped and whipped her phone out. She immediately video called her boss.


    “Miss Lynch, why are you video calling me? We’re going to put the Heart of the Abyss on disy


    tomorrow. Make sure that you perform your bodyguard duties well, all right? We cannot afford a single


    mistake!”


    An old man with frazzled hair sat on the other end of the line. He chuckled as he spoke, and he looked


    very approachable.


    “Boss, we have a customer here who wants to buy the Heart of the Abyss…”


    Manager Lynch looked at jackie, who stood behind her. She angled the phone so that he appeared on


    the screen as well.


    The smile on the old man’s face instantly hardened. “Miss Lynch, the Abyss is worth nine billion, but


    didn’t I say that its value is worth far more than that?” he answered. “There’s only one of its kind in the


    entire world. Besides, the Heart of the Abyss is our treasure. It’s not for sale. We won’t be able to find


    anything to rece it anytime soon. More importantly, this is what we use to promote our store!”


    Manager Lynch reacted quickly, as though she understood something. “So what you’re saying is that the


    Heart of the Abyss holds unparalleled value, right, Boss? Including the advertisements and being our


    signature product!”


    The old man nodded his head. He smiled towards jackie. “First of all, sir, I thank you very much for


    showing interest in our products, and for admiring the Heart of the Abyss so much. But we cannot simply


    sell this to you…”


    Manager Lynch pondered for a while, then she cut in before the old man could finish his sentence: “But


    this man is offering us 20 billion dors, Boss. Are you sure you don’t want to consider his offer?”


    The old man on the phone creased his brows, obviously considering the offer.


    After a while, he gave a bitter smile. “I’m sorry, sir…”


    jackie realized that 20 billion was not enough to persuade the old man, considering how he rejected the


    offer.


    “30 billion!”


    jackie took a step forward and told the old man.


    The old man was taken aback for a moment. “Sir, you’re really making this difficult for us. There is implicit


    value in that ne…”


    “40 billion!”


    jackie offered again.


    “But…”


    The old man was growing speechless…


    “50 billion!”


    Chapter 773 jackie was too tired to continue with the negotiation drama. The sign of hesitation stered


    on the other party’s face grew more and more obvious, it meant this ‘Heart of the Abyss’ was truly not


    ordinary jewelry.


    Besides, to jackie, 50 billion dors was nothing.


    “Are…are you sure? 50 billion?”


    The boss was visibly ted with the price.


    “boss, do I look like I’m joking?”


    jackie loosened a chuckle in return.


    “You have the deal!”


    “We thank you so much for choosing our ‘Heart of The Abyss’. I, on behalf of Daxia Juwel, am willing to


    give away 200 million dors worth of other jewelry for you to choose!” The boss added excitedly.


    “Wow! Just about right! I need to purchase some diamond rings and earrings too!”


    jackie’s mood lightened, letting out joyousughter.


    “d to be doing business with you!”


    “Me too!”


    The boss hung up the video call on his mobile phone. He was ostensibly ted for customers like jackie


    —generous and magnanimous. It was his first time in his lifetime encountering such a customer.


    When themoners purchased pieces of jewelry in their shop, the most frequent question they asked


    was if there were any discounts or free gifts.


    Meanwhile, this guy did not even ask for a discount nor gift but instead raised the price, billions by


    billions. If they were not the ones dealing with jackie today, they would not believe such a customer


    existed. It would be extremely hard to believe that this was true.


    “Sir…sir, do you really mean it?”


    The good-looking manager asked in a trembling tone, her hands shaking. For a person who was able to


    shout out 50 billion dors in such a casual manner, his-worth must be at least a trillion, perhaps


    even more.


    Furthermore, this man’s whole being was sharp, he was standing straight, and firm and his eyes shot out


    a ray of perseverance, which made her feel that this man before him must be a veteran who had just


    returned from the military. This was because an ordinary man would not have such a unique aura and


    temperament.


    “Pay with a card?”


    A credit card coatedpletely with predominant golden color was presented before the manager. jackie


    chuckled and gestured to her to take the card.


    The first thought that came into Manager Lynch’s mind was that this card was privileged and elite, though


    she had not seen this type of card before. She bobbed her head frantically and then turned to the store


    manager, “Quickly get the POS machine over, and I will pack up the ‘Heart of the Abyss’ for this


    gentleman!”


    “All right!”


    The female store manager shed a warm smile and left the private room.


    Few lines appeared between jackie’s brows; a strange feeling stirred within him. Why did not Manager


    Lynch pack up the ne for him first and then went out to swipe the card together? After all, he still


    had to leave the room and pick the other jewels.


    Never did he expect, once the store manager left the room, Manager Lynch shot him a few alluring gazes


    while packing up the ‘Heart of the Abyss’. Then she slowly leaned towards jackie and breathed out


    slowly, “Dear Sir, can I have your Twitter ount? In the future, if Daxia Juwel produces or stocks in


    some fine essories, I could send you some photos!”


    jackie’s face sunk in the next second; he was speechless. It seemed like the way he raised the price just


    now had made this good-looking district manager’s heart beating fast.


    Although the sry for such an executive was certainly not close to low, in the face of such a generous


    and manly jackie, she was somewhat moved and unable to resist his personal charm.


    jackie shed a wan smile, “I don’t normallye to these jewelry shops. I bought this ne for my


    wife!”


    jackie was hinting to the other party that he was married. As long as the other party was not a fool, she


    would not press further on the matter of Twitter.


    After Manager Lynch had packed up the ne, she handed it over to jackie, her eyes were


    completely filled with amorous colors. “It’s just adding friends on Twitter. Don’t tell me you’re scared of a


    lady like me?”


    As she spoke, she caressed jackie’s hand while handing the jewelry box over. Her tone was provocative


    and suggestive.


    Chapter 774 However, jackie admitted that the manager before him was indeed gorgeous and charming,


    no matter her temperament or her body figure. Those eyes of her were even more seductive yet


    captivating. If jackie were the other ordinary man, he would have fallen into her erotic trap.


    He grabbed the box and smiled indifferently, “I don’t think this is necessary. After all, our house is not


    very far from here. If I’m in need of buying any jewelry, I can just drop by here and see!”


    Signs of disappointment shed in Manager Lynch’s eyes; she was disheartened at jackie’s words. A


    dirty trick suddenly popped up in her mind and then she pretended to twist her ankle and fell into jackie’s


    embrace. “Ah!”


    jackie’s immediate reflex was to support her from falling further and helped her to stabilize. “Are you


    alright?”


    “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! These high heels are too high and ufortable. I nearly tripped because of


    them!”


    Manager Lynch’s face was kissed pink, and she was tongue-tied at the situation. She had already acted


    so proactively, and yet jackie did not show any hint of being attracted! It seemed like jackie was truly not


    interested in other women, even a beauty like her.


    She had never behaved in such a sultry and dirty way; she did not budge in the slightest in front of any


    other average wealthy people, even looked down upon them. After all, she had always been a


    conservative person, and coupled with her high academic qualification and sry, she would naturally


    have an eye for a perfect man like jackie.


    Many filthy rich young masters had been wanting to hook her up, but none of them seeded as she did


    not give them any chance. Today, this man before her was not only good-looking and with a benevolent


    temperament, but also his manly behaviors had captivated her, especially during the moment he raised


    the price billions by billions. Money to him was nothing but stacks of toilet papers—he did not care at all.


    Such a man hadpletely fascinated her.


    Besides, this was also her first time being so proactive in pleasing a man. She wanted to be conquered


    by this man; she wanted to be his proudest trophy.


    However, this man did not even bother to spare her a gaze.


    “Sir, please swipe your card with this POS machine. Also, our boss has informed us that you still have


    200 million dors for the other jewels. I will show you the wayter!”


    Store Manager Lowe entered the private room with a POS machine in her hand. She quickly let jackie


    make the payment.


    “Manager Lynch, I’m sorry for interrupting your break time. I’ll follow Manager Lowe to pick some other


    ne and ring!”


    jackie gave a faint smile and went out of the room with Store Manager Lowe.


    The awkward smile on Manager Lynch’s face disappeared in the next second the two left. She closed the


    door feebly, feeling a little lost. Her eyes turned towards the direction of the ce where the Heart of The


    Abyss was once ced, and her heart sank deeply.


    “Oh ya! Manager Lowe, I need a favor from you. There’s something I need you to pass on to Manager


    Lynch in a while!”


    After choosing the ring, earrings, and bracelet, jackie quickly thought of something and turned to Store


    Manager Lowe. “Could you help me to pass on this message to her? That the Heart of The Abyss has


    already been sold to me, and you won’t be able to exhibit it tomorrow! Hence please announce to the


    public that it has been sold. As for the fact that I bought it for 50 billion dors, I hope this can remain a


    secret. Could you please help?”


    “Do you mean we keep the 50 billion dors as a secret?”


    Store Manager Lowe was stunned at jackie’s request. “Sir, if we announce that the ne was sold for


    50 billion dors, wouldn’t it be great for you in front of your friend and family? Sir, you’re too low profile!”


    ‘this is not about me being low profile. If my wife knew that I’ve spent 50 billion for a 9 billion worth


    ne, she would scold me! She will say that I squander hard-earn money.


    jackie exined in a casual tone, a warm smile showing on his face.


    A sh of enlightenment, at the same time, a flicker of envy stirred within Store Manager Lowe when she


    heard his exnation. “I’m envious of your wife! You’re so willing to spend money on her and consider


    everything for her!”


    “By the way, if you and Manager Lynch are avable on that day, feel free toe to my wife’s birthday


    party!” jackie chuckled.


    Chapter 775 “No way! Are you serious? We cane too?”


    jackie’s invitation elevated Store Manager Lowe’s mood that she almost jumped for joy. A birthday party


    by a big shot was the sweetest dream that one could have! Besides, those who would be attending the


    party were definitely not ordinary people. They must have possessed certain statuses in Eastfield.


    “Absolutely! Juste over empty-handed and tell the guards that you got my permission!”


    After giving some thought to the matter, jackie showed another warm smile and then left the shop.


    “Wait. That’s not quite right. Isn’t he only the adopted son-inw? Can a son-inw have so much


    money?”


    After jackie exited the door, Store Manager Lowe, who had finally calmed down, thought of something


    and yelled in surprise. “This fe is too low profile. 50 billion for a ne? Just wow! No wonder he


    promised to give his wife a birthday party that will shake the whole Eastfield. He’s so damn rich!”


    The first thing that jackie did once he arrived at home was to hide the Heart of the Abyss, only then he


    went to search for his wife.


    At this time, Selena was strolling leisurely in the garden.


    As soon as she saw jackie approaching her, she shot him a nk look. “ jackie White! You disappeared


    early in the morning! Where did you go, huh?”


    jackie let out adorable giggles, extended his hands into his pockets, and pulled out several boxes. “Look,


    your birthday is around the corner. So I went out to buy you some nice essories!”


    “What? How could you go without me? Are you trying to surprise me?”


    Inside Selena’s reprimand, hid a hint of happiness; a giggly smile stered on her face. She took one of


    the boxes and opened it. “Did you purchase in Daxia Juwel? Their essories are exorbitantly


    expensive. Here, look, there’re gems on it, it must be expensive, right? And all these things added up


    must have cost you a lot!”


    jackie smiled lightly, “It’s not expensive, it’s merely over nine million!”


    “What the heck? Over nine million dors, and yet you said it’s not expensive?”


    Selena almost fainted at the number. Few lines formed between her brows, and she started to nag in a


    firmer tone, “No, dear, no! Your act is called impulsive purchase! You’re basically squandering money.


    Both of us don’t have a job right now and yet you spent so much money on these. If everyone in our


    house spends like you do, what do you think will happen to our savings? Even if you’ve won 10 billion in


    billiards, you shouldn’t squander like this!”


    Nheless, these reprimands of Selena’s are like sunshine flooded into jackie’s chest—he felt warm


    and ted. He wrapped his arms around Selena and pulled her into his embrace. “You silly. This is our


    first birthday celebration together, I’d break my bank for it!”


    “Hey, hey, let me go. Others are watching!”


    Contentment filled her heart as her face turned rosy pink.


    “ jackie White, you stupid brat. You’re so heroic, huh? I just got to know that you’ve beaten Young Master


    Drake up! Are you trying to dig a grave for yourself?”


    At this time, Fiona returned from her shopping and started to yell at jackie as soon as she spotted jackie


    in the garden.


    “Mother, yes, I did beat him up. I went to Drake’s residencest night. And that’s because he deserves it.


    As for the reason why I hit him, you don’t have to worry anymore. I’ve already settled it!”


    jackie smiled dryly and admitted the deed without hesitation.


    “Get out from our house, now! You’ve offended the Drake family, aren’t you having a death wish? I don’t


    even bother to find out why you beat him up, it must be because he fired you and Selena, and you feel


    displeased with his action! But you can’t hit people because of that either!”


    Fiona pointed at the gate, gave him a dismissive wave of her hands, yelling jackie to get out.


    Chapter 776 “The heck are you talking about, Ma? Young Master Drake deserved a beating. Anyway,


    what’s over is over. I don’t think jackie did anything wrong. He helped me to release my anger—that’s


    why he beat Young Master Drake up!”


    Selena was extremely angry when she heard what her mother said. She snarled at Fiona.


    “I wouldn’t want that to happen to you either, Selena. But he’s from the Drake family. Offending them is


    like signing your death certificate!”


    Fiona was truly worried.


    “What’s going on, Ma?”


    Ben and Andrew walked out and asked, their expressions furrowed in concern.


    Fiona released a sigh and shot jackie a vicious re. “I just heard that this fellow had gone and beaten


    the young master of the Drake family up,” she exined to Ben. “Isn’t it infuriating? I heard that Young


    Master Drake is still being hospitalized, and his condition is uncertain!”


    “No way. Weren’t you being a little brash, jackie? We understand why you spoke against him in the first


    ce—you did it for the billion dors, right? Even if speaking against him would mean embarrassing


    him in front of everyone. And of course, Young Master Drake did go overboard by firing Selena as well!”


    Andrew stepped forward, his brows drawing together. “But it’s too much, isn’t it, beating up a young


    master just because of that?” he continued, “They even offered the two of you jobs in the first ce.


    They’re stronger than some first-ss aristocratic families. Aren’t you afraid that they’ll destroy the entire


    Taylor family?”


    “That’s right!”


    Fiona interjected immediately, “So shouldn’t we chase him out now? He invited disaster upon himself. He


    shouldn’t drag us into it!”


    Ben spoke up after thinking for a while, “Ma, it’s true that jackie was being rash, but he didsh out for


    Selena’s sake. We don’t have much choice now. The past is all in the past. All of us should just leave


    together. I think James Drake won’t let us off that easily no matter what we say since his son has been


    beaten up. We can’t just single jackie out. The rest of us won’t be able to escape either!”


    “That’s right. Why don’t we all leave together? It hurts my heart to think of leaving this vi, but we can


    bring our valuables along with us. Most of our money is in the bank anyway that can be easily essed


    with our cards!”


    Fiona instantly suggested, realizing that Ben’s words made sense.


    “Don’t be afraid, Father, Mother. They won’te to us looking for trouble!”


    jackie shed a bitter smile as he watched everyone fly into panic mode. “Think about it. I brought


    Selena alongst night and caused a ruckus for them. They would have done something about it


    yesterday if they really wanted to retaliate. Furthermore, it’s already thiste into the morning, but they


    haven’t sent anyone over. Do you really think they’lle? If you do, wouldn’t they be scared that we


    would take off sooner?”


    Realization dawned upon Ben when he heard jackie’s words. “You’re right. If they really wanted to find


    trouble with us, they probably would have done so yesterday night or this morning. They wouldn’t have


    waited until now.”


    “Hmm. That’s true…”


    Andrew also seemed to realize that the idea made sense.


    “But I really think that the Drake family won’t let us off so easily. It’s possible that they prioritized sending


    Young Master Drake to the hospital because he was so badly injured. Maybe they’ve already sealed off


    all the roads leading out of the city. We probably won’t even have a chance to escape. They’lle for


    us once their young master has fully recovered!”


    Fiona was still fearful—to the point that her imagination began to run wild.


    “Ma, all this actually happened because Young Master Drake tried to take advantage of me. He was a


    little drunkst night when he came into the office, and he tried to get all touchy. jackie only beat him up


    after he knew about this! I believe that even the Drake family themselves would think that this was


    rational. Besides, jackie is so strong. It’s likely they won’t cause trouble for us!”


    Selena cast a side-nce at jackie, then she exined everything in his ce. She did not want him to


    bear the responsibility alone.


    “What? That Young Master Drake actually tried to…”


    Only then did Fiona understand that jackie had beaten Young Master Drake up for other reasons, and


    not because of the job-rted incident.


    Chapter 777 She gave jackie a long look. “All right. I wrongfully used you just now,” she said. “I


    thought you had gone and beaten the young master up because of what happened to Selena and your


    job. You really do have a valid reason for beating him up then, if that had happened!”


    “Ma, how did you know about this anyway?”


    Selena asked Fiona after she thought about it.


    “Oh, I overheard a few people gossiping about it when I was out shopping. It gave me such a scare that I


    immediately rushed back!”


    Fiona patted her chest, but she was still anxious as she thought about it. “But what if the Drake family


    lashes against us in secret, instead of broad daylight? That will be even harder to prevent. I really think


    that we should all just stay at home and not go out at all!”


    “No way, Mom. I’ve just opened my cybercafé. I need to make sure that everything’s running smoothly for


    these few days, especially when we’re getting so many customers!”


    Ben spoke with a smile, “I trust what jackie said. If he says that they fear him, they fear him. They would


    havee looking for us a long time ago otherwise.”


    “No way. It’s not like weck the money from your cybercafe business. I won’t be able to live on if you


    ever die!”


    Fiona did not dare to allow Ben out alone.


    “ine, take a few of the other bodyguards and follow me!”


    Ben waved ine and a few other bodyguards over; they had been standing at the side.


    “You won’t worry if I’m going out like this. Right, Mom?”


    After ine and the others walked over, Ben said to Fiona, grinning.


    “Fine. Go on then!”


    Fiona waved her hand helplessly.


    …


    “Master, Master! Good news!”


    At this moment, a man from the Eagle n ran over to Master Neuman, smiling.


    “What’s going on? You seem excited!”


    Lee asked, smiling bitterly.


    “Good news. I heard that Young Master Drake has fired jackie and his wife, and the young master tried to


    make a move with the wife. So jackie brought his wife to the Drake family’s residence and beat the living


    sh*t out of Timothy Drake. He’s still in the hospital now!”


    The middle-aged man grinned as he reported everything.


    Lee’s eyes immediately brightened when he heard that. He quickly leaped to his feet. “Really? Fantastic!


    This way, we won’t have to act so fast for now. We’ll wait and watch what happens. Offending the Drake


    family is practically digging your own grave. Let’s see if the Drake family helps us to get rid of that little


    punk.”


    “Of course the Drake family would do something. James Drake has only one son, after all!”


    The middle-aged man said, smiling.


    “Mmhmm. Seems like the gods are smiling upon me!”


    Lee lifted his chin ever so slightly, his gaze filled with excitement.


    Chapter 778 “Tell everyone that we’re halting operations for now! We’ll wait and see how the situation is


    after two days!”


    In a sh, Lee’s good humor had been restored. It would be fantastic if the Drake family were to kill


    jackie off. He would not have to do a single thing then.


    “Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.”


    …


    Ken rk was excited as well. He guffawed as he came before Ivan, Neil, and Xena before taking a


    seat.


    “What’s going on, Young Master rk? Looks like you’re excited about something!”


    Ivan shed a mirthless smile. He had finally recovered from his injuries, and he could return to the


    Taylor family’s residence. He also thought about introducing Xena to his family sometime during the next


    few days.


    When he thought about the expressions on Ben’s and the others’ faces, delight jolted in him.


    “ jackie has gone looking for trouble again. He really doesn’t quit ying with fire.”


    Ever since Young Master rk had stepped foot into the coffee shop, he did not stop grinning. “I think


    we won’t need to create trouble for him anymore. He has signed a death wish for himself now.”


    “What? Really? Who did he offend this time?”


    Neil immediately knew that jackie had gone and offended someone else again when he heard that. After


    he thought about it, his eyes brightened. “Don’t tell me he’s offended a first-ss aristocratic family this


    time? Now that punk isn’t afraid of us. But he’ll be in big trouble if he offended a first-ss aristocratic


    family!”


    He did not expect Ken to shake his head. Thetter earnestly tapped his index finger against the table.


    “He didn’t offend a first-ss aristocratic family this time, but the Drake family!”


    A frosty smile spread across Ivan’s lips as he registered the words. “You’re joking, Young Master rk.


    jackie has good rtions with the Drake family, especially since he’s constantly by Miss Tanya’s side


    after he was hired as their bodyguard. He’s constantly shadowing her, and they’re pretty much good


    friends. Why would jackie offend them? He’s not an idiot!”


    “It’s all because of the billion dors! That punk’s head must have been high at the prospect of that much


    money!”


    Kenughed. Then he told everyone about what he had heard in detail.


    “So that’s what happened. He just pretended that he did not know how to y billiards and swindled


    Young Master Turner of one billion dors. Tsk. Leo’s probably really good in billiards. No one would


    believe jackie if he imed that he had just picked it up. It’s obvious that he’s good in the sport if he was


    able to beat Leo!”


    “No wonder Young Master Drake could not suffer the sight any longer. So he helped to speak up, saying


    that jackie had gone mad for insisting on a billion dors because he wanted money. And he didn’t spare


    Young Master Drake’s reputation! That was probably why Young Master Drake was so angry that he


    went looking for Selena Taylor!”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Ivan gave a wry smile and took a sip out of his cup of coffee. “Ah. What a pity. I had hoped that jackie


    would embarrass himself to no end during Selena’s birthday party and that he would just curdle out of


    shame. Who knew that he won’t be living for more than a few days now!”


    Xena, who was sitting beside him, thought about it for a while. “But jackie is the son-inw of the Taylor


    family, Ivan,” she said, anxietyced in her tone. “Won’t the Drake family retaliate against the Taylor


    family as well in a moment of anger?”


    Ivan furrowed his brows at the idea. “I don’t think so. We didn’t offend them. Besides, jackie and his


    family have never lived with us before. James is a reasonable man. They would suffer plenty of losses if


    they really tried to fight us, especially since jackie is a good fighter.”


    Right at this moment, a phone rang out.


    Ivan gestured for everyone to remain silent before picking up the phone, getting onto his feet.


    His expression darkened as the call went on. “F*ck. jackie is really dragging our entire family through the


    dirt!”


    “What’s wrong, Ivan?”


    Xena quickly asked.


    Chapter 779 She was a little worried. What if Young Master Drake suffered from serious injuries and his


    father was absolutely furious? It would be troublesome if they acted against Ivan and the others.


    It was a small possibility, but it could not bepletely ruled out.


    Besides, it had not been easy for her to be Ivan’s girlfriend. It would be extremely unfair if she were


    to be dragged into this and get killed along with everyone else. She would not even get a chance to


    enjoy her life for a short period of time! She could not let that happen.


    “The Drake family called to inform us that we’re officially withdrawn from the Southern Hills development


    project. And they won’t give us anypensation for breaking the contract!”


    Ivan gave a bitter smile. “The old man is super angry right now. He’s calling a meeting for all members of


    the family.”


    As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. “Let’s go then. There’s no time like the present. Come with me,


    Xena. Since the old man has called all the Taylor family members for the meeting, I’m sure that Selena,


    jackie, and even Ben will be there. Since they’re all there, I’ll introduce you to everyone then. I’ll let them


    know that you’re my girlfriend!”


    Xena furrowed her brows. “Is–is it appropriate to tell them about me now?”


    “Of course it is!”


    Ivan syed his arms. “Everyone will be there. If I introduce you and everyone knows that you’re my


    girlfriend, jackie won’t kill you off just like that, right? It wouldn’t do if the Taylor family found out. After all,


    I’m their cousin! It’ll be insurance for your life, announcing this. If I don’t announce it, what if jackie


    secretly kills you to exact revenge for Ben? What if he says that he didn’t know you were my girlfriend?”


    After Xena heard that, she too, thought that it made sense. She nodded her head. “All right then. I’ll go


    with you. But I’m not prepared for this. I’m so nervous. I didn’t even bring any gifts!”


    Ivan took her hand. “No need to buy anything. I’m just going to introduce you because this meeting


    happened to be now. Don’t worry. I’m here!”


    “Ah, I would go over and see the look on Ben’s face if I actually had a reason for going.”


    Ken burst intoughter.


    “Don’t worry, Young Master Taylor. Old Man Taylor will certainly be angry because of how the Drake


    family had canceled all their ns, but it’s not your fault. It’s all because jackie beat Young Master Drake


    up. That’s why the person to be reprimanded will naturally be jackie. The old man will give him thorough


    hiding!”


    Neil shed a cold smile as he spoke.


    “That’s right. I didn’t do anything wrong. Nothing to be worried about!”


    Smiling, Ivan brought Xena out.


    jackie and Ben and the others also received calls. They all went to thergest hall in the Taylor family’s


    vi.


    There were plenty of couches and stools all around. The Taylor family would use this space to discuss


    important matters whenever they cropped up.


    At this moment, Old Man Taylor’s expression looked grim. The people around him all dipped their heads


    as well. The atmosphere was thick and heavy.


    The doors gradually opened. Selena, jackie, and the others strode in.


    “Hmph!”


    Old Man Taylor harrumphed when he saw jackie. It was clear that he was furious.


    “Grandpa, is there something wrong? Why did you summon us over?”


    Selena managed an awkward smile, asking tentatively. During the call earlier, Cecilia simply told them to


    come over and admit their mistakes, huffing angrily. She did not speak about the entire situation.


    Chapter 780 “What’s wrong? What’s wrong! Of course, that hotheaded husband of yours went and


    caused trouble again!”


    At this moment, Ivan walked in with Xena, a humorless smile on his lips.


    “Ivan, why did you bring her here? Isn’t she Ben’s girlfriend?”


    Theodore could not help but furrow his brows when he saw his son walking in with Xena.


    Ivan gave a wry smile. He cast Ben a purposeful look before speaking, “Yes, Xena was Ben’s girlfriend.


    But he’s useless. He’s already in his twenties, but he’s still a good-for-nothing. Of course, Xena would


    want a more established man!”


    Here, he smiled at the audience and introduced her, “Everyone, this is Xena jackieson, and she’s my


    girlfriend. And we’re a match made in heaven.”


    Ben’s expression soured, and redness limned his eyes although he was well aware that Xena was a


    cruel and horrible person. A woman like her was not even worthy of his affections, but he had been with


    her for a long time. His heart still ached when he saw her.


    “Oh. So she’s your girlfriend now? Congrattions! It’s only right that a beauty is paired with a prince,


    instead of some neet who only knows how to y video games all day. It would be a miracle if the


    girlfriend of someone like that didn’t run off!”


    Cecilia spoke sardonically after she heard that, folding her arms across her chest.


    “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Of course, there would be someone willing to pick up what


    Ben sees as trash. Birds of a feather flock together, after all!”


    jackie gave a mirthless chuckled when he heard that. “But those who keep money-minded women will


    live to regret their decision!”


    “That’s right. I’ve never seen such a shameless person in my life!”


    Selena also huffed angrily, furious in ce of her brother.


    “You…you’re saying that we’re shameless? That we’re trash?”


    Ivan was furious now. He took a step forward and red at jackie.


    However, he quickly thought of something, and his anger quickly dissipated. Instead, he gave a wry


    smile. “ jackie, not sure if you’ve been feeling kind of weaktely?”


    jackie was going to die after ten more days. What use was there in arguing with a person who was


    sentenced to death?


    jackie was stunned. He immediately knew what Ivan meant when he said that. The other man was trying


    to pry and see if he had taken the poison, and if there were obvious symptoms now.


    He wore a surprised expression on purpose. “That’s right. I’ve been a little out of ittely as if my limbs


    are weak. But what does it have to do with you?” he said to Ivan. “Isn’t it normal to feel lethargic during


    the summer?”


    Ivan’s heart was delighted when he heard jackie admitting to that. Still, he maintained hisposure as


    he said, “You look like you could use some rest. That’s why I asked!”


    “Enough! I wanted to have a meeting to speak about certain matters, not for the both of you to argue!”


    Atst, Old Man Taylor snapped impatiently.


    He waited until everyone have quiet down before speaking, looking at jackie as he did so. “ jackie, do


    you know what your brash decision of beating Young Master Drake up has cost us? Do you know the


    losses the Taylor family will suffer?”


    Chapter 781 “You’ve got some guts, jackie, beating the young master of the Drake family like that. I think


    you should just get out of the Taylor family. Stop dragging us along with you!”


    One of the Taylor family members huffed angrily.


    “That’s right. That’s Young Master Drake we’re talking about, jackie. Sure, you offended some young


    master of a second-ss aristocratic family before, but we wanted to preserve our family’s reputation


    plus you’re a good fighter, and you are friends with the Goddess of War. We wouldn’t want to cause you


    trouble so long as you didn’t overstep your boundaries. But you took this for granted. Now you’re so


    wanton, daring enough to hurt Young Master Drake!”


    Another family member was furious as well. He was afraid that all of them would be dragged into the


    matter because of jackie’s action.


    Fiona gave an awkward smile as she stepped forward. “Don’t worry, Grandpa Taylor. Nothing will


    happen,” she said to Old Man Taylor. “ jackie had a good reason for beating Young Master Drake. It’s not


    just because the young master fired him and Selena. That man wanted to take advantage of our Selena,


    and jackie was absolutely livid when he knew about this. That’s why he beat that man up!”


    Here, Fiona pounded her chest. “But don’t worry. We definitely won’t bring the Taylor family into this,” she


    promised. “The Drake family won’t simply murder the innocents, right? The most they’ll do is kill our


    family!”


    “You really know how to talk, Fiona!”


    Theodore chuckled. “You’re not even part of the Drake family. How would you know that the Drake family


    won’tsh out against us in a fit of anger?”


    In reality, Fiona was not sure of herself as well. At this moment though, she could not give in. “It’s simple.


    They would have created a lot of trouble earlier if they had wanted to do so. jackie had beaten that man


    up yesterday morning, and it’s already noon the next day now. But I don’t see the Drake family’s people


    coming over. So they definitely won’te over. After all, jackie has a good rtionship with Miss


    Tanya!”


    “No way!”


    Ivan interjected immediately, “He’s the young master of the Drake family. They have so many good


    fighters. How can they just let this slide? I really think that the best thing to do now is to surrender jackie


    to the Drake family. Make him kowtow and admit his mistakes and ask for forgiveness!”


    “Why am I the one who should kowtow and ask for forgiveness when he’s the one who tried to touch my


    wife? Are you kidding me, Ivan Taylor? Do you think I’d do something like that?”


    jackie chuckled, his expression nonchnt. “It’s best if they don’te over. If they do, I’ll kill off every


    single one who steps in!”


    “You said it yourself!”


    Old Man Taylor looked straight at jackie. “Since you were the one who caused this mess in the first


    ce, I hope that you’ll be able to bear the mistake yourself when the Drake familyes. Don’t drag


    the Taylor family into this!”


    “Don’t worry. I won’t!”


    jackie promised.


    “You won’t? Grandpa, he’s already dragged us into this. The Drake family isn’t cooperating with us


    anymore. Southern Hill Real Estate was a huge project, and they don’t want to coborate anymore. We


    didn’t earn anything this time instead we made huge losses!”


    Ivan was extremely furious. He shot a re at jackie. “You damn idiot. Did you really think that you didn’t


    drag us through the dirt?”


    “Ah. Nevermind. We’ve suffered huge losses, but Young Master Drake had disrespected Selena by trying


    to touch her. He deserved to be beaten up!”


    Old Man Taylor heaved a sigh. “We simply lost a hundred million just like that. It’s a huge blow to the


    Taylor family, but we won’t starve to death,” he said. “I just pray that the Drake family won’te looking


    for us, out of consideration of the friendship they had with jackie!”


    Right at this moment, a bodyguard of the Taylor family rushed in. “Master, we’ve just got the news!” he


    breathed excitedly. “Young Master Drake only suffered minor injuries. There won’t be anyplications!”


    Chapter 782 After knowing that jackie had beaten up Young Master Drake, the first thing the Taylor family


    naturally did was to send out their bodyguards to inquire about the situation.


    Old Master Taylor heaved a huge sigh of relief upon learning that Young Master Drake only suffered a


    minor injury. Since the wound was not serious, perhaps Master Drake would not be so upset with them


    and make a huge fuss out of it. At most, he would find a hitman to slit jackie’s throat, after all, others


    were not involved.


    “Thank God, it’s only a minor injury. Thank God!”


    Old Master Taylor plonked down onto the armchair; everyone could see that the boulder in his heart was


    lifted.


    Selena and jackie exchanged nces and hints of dismay were obviously disyed in their gazes.


    The kick from jackie yesterday was not feeble at all. His kick was so powerful that Young Master Drake


    passed out the next second.


    It was impossible for his injury to be mild and most likely, he would be impotent from that kick.


    Nevertheless, jackie and Selena were no fool, it was obviously a beautiful white lie that the Drake family


    had spread. Since they were covering the truth, it meant that Master Drake was a sensible person, or at


    least he was smart that he should not make a hoo-ha out of this.


    “But, Grandpa, though Young Master Drake was only mildly injured, the South Hill Real Estate project is


    now down the drain. The Drake family won’t allow us to continue with the project anymore. Who will


    make up for the losses?”


    Ivan could feel raw anger boiling in his blood knowing that jackie was the culprit for the huge loss. He


    could not just let this b*stard off the hook; he desired to find a way to cast him out of the Taylor family.


    “I’ll pay for the loss!”


    However, to everyone’s surprise, jackie stepped forward and proimed aloud. “Isn’t it just a hundred


    million or so? I’ll pay!”


    “Hmph! Don’t be ridiculous! Have you thought about it? What money are you gonna use to pay? The


    billion you won from Young Master Turner? Don’t forget you’ve promised to hold a party that will shake


    the entire Eastfield for your dearest wife!”


    Ivan’s face immediately lit up at jackie’s words. Since this b*stard wanted to pretend to be some tycoon


    and offered to make up for the losses, why not?


    “ jackie, what nonsense are you spewing about? You and Selena are both jobless now! How can you


    afford to take up such responsibility?”


    Fiona nearly had a heart attack and her eyes rolled to the back of her brain when she heard what jackie


    had said. She immediately pulled jackie back to her side as she reprimanded.


    “Indeed, he should be responsible for this loss! If it wasn’t for him, this big project would not have flush


    down the drain just like that!”


    Theodore immediately chimed in with a serious and firm tone. “Since the loss was caused by jackie, it’s


    natural for him to pay for it!”


    “Yes. They’re right! Selena’s birthday doesn’t have to be grand, just a few confetti, wines and pizzas will


    do. It’ll be Cecelia’s wedding on that day anyway, the whole Taylor family probably don’t have spare time


    to celebrate with Selena. Oh ya! You really don’t even have to prepare a lot of food, since all the big


    shots and local authorities will attend Cecelia’s wedding.”


    Cecelia’s mother echoed as she stepped forward.


    Fiona was burning with anger that her eyes were like two fireballs that could burn jackie into ashes


    anytime. This brat clearly did not bring his brain along with him today, otherwise, how could he spew


    such nonsense?


    Since jackie and her daughter were both jobless, jackie, perhaps, only had a couple of millions left. And


    the 90 million dors that jackie won from Kelly Gold in gambling had been given to Fiona as well. Now,


    the issue was about the loss amounting to 100 million dors and this brat had actually said that he


    would bear it.


    Old Master Taylor nodded in agreement after giving the matter some thoughts. “ jackie, this is indeed


    your fault and since you’ve said you’d be responsible, then you should transfer 100 million dors to the


    company’s ount!”


    “Hmmm. You’re right. It’s indeed something I should pay for!”


    jackie bobbed his head and asked for thepany’s ount number from the butler, which then he


    transferred 100 million dors over.


    Seeing that jackie was such a responsible man, there was a hint of respect shown in Old Master Taylor’s


    eyes. The anger that was swirling inside him a moment ago had dissipated now.


    “All right. Since Young Master Drake did not suffer a major injury, I hope they won’t continue to look for


    trouble. But jackie, if they doe to avenge Young Master Drake, I hope that you’ll step up and bear


    the consequences. Don’t drag us down this abyss!”


    “Don’t be preupied, Grandpa Taylor. They won’t dare toe, and if they really do, they’re practically


    digging their own graves.”


    Chapter 783 jackie chuckled in return. His words made the crowd rendered speechless.


    This freaking snob had be more and more braggy. The other party was the Drake family; not some


    other small shrimps, and he actually dared to say such a thing.


    jackie and the others went back to their home not long after.


    The next two or three days, the Taylor family were living in a state of fear; whenever any of the Taylors


    went out, it was necessary to bring along dozens of bodyguards.


    While in jackie’s vi, Fiona did not let jackie and Selena out at all cost; everyone must stay at home.


    After two more days had passed and there were no signs of the Drake family then Fiona felt a huge


    relief. It seemed like the Drake family was not nning to avenge Young Master Drake.


    …


    “Hell no!”


    The head of Eagle n—Lee Neuman—who had waited for several days for an explosive battle


    between the Drakes and jackie, was tongue-tied at the current situation. How could he have imagined


    that the episode of jackie beating up Young Master Drake would be settled in such a perfunctory


    manner?


    Although the Drake family had announced that it was only a mild injury, Timothy was the young master of


    the Drake family after all. How could the Drakes swallow this anger?


    In the end, the oue was only that the Drake family had discontinued the South Hill Real Estate


    contract with the Taylor family. Nothing else other than that.


    “James Drake, such a coward! He’s really…”


    Lee was speechless for a while. He initially had nned to use James Drake to get rid of jackie, but he


    had never expected that the Drakes were such cowards!


    “Master, I think it’d be better for us to follow the original n. James Drake is a meticulous and careful


    man. And since the Young Master Drake was only mildly injured, and since the other party does not want


    to pursue further, we basically can’t do anything!”


    The middle-aged man looked at Lee and spoke.


    “Right. It looks like that’s the only way to go!”


    Lee balled his fists firmly and responded.


    “We’ve to capture a few men from the Green Sky Hall. Once jackie kills our men, we’ll kill those men as


    well! Only that way we can frame the Green Sky Hall for the deed!”


    After pondering on the matter, Lee reminded the middle-aged man carefully.


    “Don’t worry, Master. We’ll first capture three guys from the Green Sky hall and take away their tokens.


    It’s much more easier this way. The moment our men die, the men from the Green Sky Hall will die too!”


    The middle-aged man revealed a sinister grin.


    “All right. Go ahead!”


    Lee gestured a wave of dismissal toward the man.


    …


    “Dear, there are only ten days away from your birthday! Let’s go out and have a stroll on the street!”


    jackie held Selena’s hand in his as heughed.


    “Honey, we haven’t made any reservation with the hotel, right? Why don’t we do that now? And I think


    there aren’t many halls to choose from right now. Damn! Why did this freaking Cecelia have to do her


    wedding on the same day as our party! Not many people wille to our party then!”


    Selena shed a bitter smile and continued, “But…hmmm…this isn’t bad too. The billion would be


    enough to cover everything, but then now, perhaps, you are only left with a few hundred million. We


    should spend wisely, just a few tables here and there and some basics will do. Let me calcte… I think


    10 million should be enough to pay for everything!”


    “My dear wife, please don’t worry about it. I’ve booked the hotel!”


    jackie smiled lightly and continued, “Just rx and wait for your birthday!”


    Chapter 784 “No way? You’ve booked it? Which bodyguard have you sent to make this reservation for


    you?”


    Selena was at a loss for words. A few obvious lines formed between her brows as she spoke, “How


    many pax have you booked for? And how much have you paid for it? I’m afraid that our current savings


    are not enough to cover everything, then it’ll be a problem! We don’t have much money left, you


    better don’t spend it all!”


    “Honey, don’t worry. Rx, sit back, and wait for the day toe. I promise you the surprise will be


    amazing!”


    jackie giggled as he pulled Selena outside. “Let’s go, my dear! Let’s go out for a walk, we can go


    shopping and then pay a visit to Ben’s cybercafe to see how it’s going now!”


    “How is it going? His cybercafe’s first-day opening was yesterday!”


    Selena replied with a bitter smile.


    “Huh? Yesterday was the first day? Why didn’t he say anything about it? I can’t even send him a bouquet


    of flowers to congratte him!”


    jackie’s feature morphed into one of the true surprises when he heard the news.


    “It’s okay, I’ve sent a bouquet over. He kept reminding me to keep it a low profile, so we didn’t really


    celebrate the opening. Only in the evening, we all went out together for a simple meal as a celebration!”


    When thest sybus dropped, Selena could barely conceal the sudden re of joy within her that her


    face lit up. “It looks like Ben has really grown up. He’s much more mature than before!”


    However, not long after the two strolled around the area, a scene of three men following a bunch of


    young girls appeared before them. One of the men was actually pretending to be blind, putting on


    sunsses and using a pathfinder cane, and the young girls before them were wearing miniskirts.


    “What the heck!”


    jackie’s face sank deeply at the scene before him. Then he said to Selena, “Selena, look over there!


    Those people who’re pretending blind, they must be from the Green Sky Hall. It looks like they’re taking


    photos of the girls’ undergarment again! Bunches of b*astard! They just couldn’t stop doing dirty deeds,


    could they?”


    “What the…”


    Selena looked toward the direction that jackie had pointed, and she could feel anger rushing through her


    blood vessels. However, she quickly thought of something and turned to jackie, “Wait, jackie, you’re not


    going to intervene again, are you?”


    “Honey, you know me, there’s no way I’m going to turn a blind eye to such a thing!”


    jackie ended hisst word and strode hastily toward the group of men.


    He had already warned the Green Sky Hall not to continue such dirty deeds and the other party made


    the promise as well.


    He thought that the people of Green Sky Hall would naturally keep to their words, so he did not think


    much about it and send someone to monitor them. Never did he expect that they were still doing this


    dirty business under his nose.


    It looked like the other party pretended to say one thing in front of him but remained as a fox behind them


    —sly and sneaky. They did not take jackie’s words seriously.


    “Hmph! In that case, if I don’t send some of you to hell, you guys would think that I’m a paper tiger!”


    jackie walked up to the three of them and snarled, “How dare you still do such dirty deeds!”


    “Ah!”


    Those three young girls wheeled back and saw a man following behind them, wearing sunsses and


    pretending to be blind with the guiding cane in his hand, pointing gently at his feet.


    The three girls yells their lungs out and stumbled back a few steps in fear.


    “Motherf*cker! Who the heck are you? Do you have a death wish?”


    The guy who was pretending to be blind removed his sunsses without hesitation. In the next second,


    the three of them surrounded jackie.


    “No, I think you’re the ones who have death wishes!”


    jackie could not bother with all the nonsense anymore. He leaped two steps forwards, swung his arms,


    and threw out three sting punches onto each of them.


    “Ah!”


    Chapter 785


    The three girls were so frightened that they ran off at a lighting speed.


    jackie, on the other hand, squatted down and pulled off the tokens from the men’s waist. There were


    three words carved on the tokens—Green Sky Hall.


    “Hmmm. It looked like these three are some honourable underlings in the Green Sky Hall, otherwise they


    wouldn’t have these tokens.


    jackie let out a frosty-cold chuckle. His fists clenched tightly.


    “ jackie, you could just teach them a lesson! Why did you kill them!”


    Selena quickly ran towards jackie and questioned in a worry tone. “You’ll have offended the Green Sky


    Hall now that you’ve killed their men. This is the Green Sky Hall! I heard that behind them, there’s a


    stronger and more powerful figure! I remember the name is called something like what, Kingston Hall?


    That Kingston Hall is nothing but the greatest of all Halls.”


    “My dear wife, don’t you worry about it. I have a good rtionship with the Goddess of War, Lana. We’re


    basically best buddies!”


    jackieughed wholeheartedly at his wife’s concerns and threw the token aside before taking Selena’s


    hand and whispered, “Hmmm. We’ve no ns today, why don’t we pay a visit to Lana’s God of War


    Manor?”


    “Are we really going? Will she agree to meet us? After all, she is the strong and mighty Goddess of War!”


    Selena’s plump and rosy lower lip was in between her teeth. She felt that jackie was overconfident. It


    was true that jackie had saved Lana’s life on the battlefield, but Lana had returned the favor!


    jackie’s n to y Lana a sudden visit, was it really a good idea?


    “C’mon! It’ll be okay, don’t worry!”


    …


    “Everything went so freaking well!”


    While inside a car in the distance not too far from jackie and Selena, a man was iparably excited.


    “That’s too great! It’s too f*cking great! I thought that jackie would’ve questioned them which hall they


    belonged to and make them kill themselves or something along that line. I didn’t expect that jackie was


    so hot headed and actually killed them without hesitation!”


    “Boss, what should we do next?”


    The two other men inside the car asked.


    “What should we do next? Are you dumb or retard? Get out and dispose of the corpses! It’s better to


    burn them and get rid of any evidence. Then we’ll go back and kill the three real Green Sky Hall men that


    we captured the other day!”


    An evil grin appeared on the middle-aged man’s feature. “I’m pretty confident that jackie will definitely go


    to the Green Sky Hall and make a huge fuss of the matter!”


    The middle-aged man and the other two, went off to kill the three men from Green Sky Hall after handling


    the three breathless bodies, and then they returned to Eagle n and reported to the Head happily.


    …


    While currently, jackie and Selena were chatting and strolling nonchntly in a mall. They went to pick a


    pair of jade bracelets for Lana, the Goddess of War, then not long after they arrived at Lana’s manor.


    In front of the manor, there were several bodyguards hired by Lana. It seemed like they were recent hires


    because apparently Lana did not want others to simply pay a visit to her and disturb her life. That was


    why these bodyguards were hired.


    “Gentlemen, we’re from the Taylor family, this is Miss Selena, and I’m her husband. I’vee to pay a


    special visit to the Goddess of War!”


    jackie smiled and spoke to the bodyguards.


    “The Taylor family?”


    One of the bodyguards was dumbstruck for a moment, then he waved his hand. “I’m sorry but both of


    you better leave the manor. Even if a first-ss family like the Georges, the Monts and so on, came to


    visit, our Goddess of War wouldn’t see them. Not to mention that you’re merely some Taylors!”


    “He’s right. There was once James from the Drake family came to pay a visit, he was shooed away!”


    Another bodyguard guffawed mockingly.


    “Oh, then I shall trouble you to inform the Goddess of War about our arrival. I believe if you’ve informed


    her, she’ll definitely see us!”


    jackie chortled in a disdain manner. If he were not afraid of his identity being exposed, he would really


    give these guys a good scold. He came here to visit his own disciple, yet these shrimps dared to stop


    him. If Joseph Smith, Fernando Campbell and Ethan Hays witnessed this scene, they would have


    laughed their head off.


    Chapter 786


    “Sigh! Bro, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. Even if I inform the Goddess of War, it’ll be in vain!”


    A bodyguard let out a defeated sigh. “The oue will be the same—she won’t see you!”


    However, he went inside as jackie told even though he had shown impatience in his tone.


    “Sir, Ma’am, the Goddess of War has a visitor today—the Queen of War—from another city. She


    deliberately flew a thousand miles to visit our Goddess of War. I heard that they have a close


    rtionship. And this Queen of War is one of Goddess of War’s subordinates too. So I guess the


    possibility of Goddess of War willing to see you today, is non-existent!”


    Another bodyguard sneered coldly at jackie and Selena and cast them a disrespectful stare.


    These people were from the Taylor family, a family who was lucky to be upgraded to a second-ss


    family recently, and yet desired to meet the Goddess of War. Not to mention that jackie was merely an


    adopted son-inw of the Taylors. He was confident that the Goddess of War would definitely shut them


    out.


    Soon after, the bodyguards who had reported the incident all ran out at the speed of light, staring at


    jackie and Selena in reverence. “Sir, Ma’am, the Goddess of War has agreed to see you. Please follow


    me!”


    “No way!”


    The other bodyguards involuntarily released exmations of shock. They never thought that the


    Goddess of War Lana would actually agree to see jackie and Selena.


    Soon enough, jackie and Selena were brought into a hall in the vi. A Queen of War in her thirties was


    chatting with the Goddess of War.


    “I have such esteemed guests. I never thought that the two of you woulde to see me today!”


    Selena seemed a little nervous. There was a Queen of War and a Goddess of War right before her, and


    both of them were from the very top of society. Even though she had met bigshots before, there was no


    way she could remain calm before such eminent figures.


    “Hmmm. Not bad at all! Your house is well furnished! How opulent!”


    Selena did not at all expect jackie to be sofortable at Lana’s manor; he did not greet nor salute


    politely to Lana and the Queen of War, instead he started roaming around and admiring the decoration.


    Selena quickly pulled the corner of jackie’s sleeve to remind him of the courtesy.


    Only then did jackie arched his hands before the twodies and greeted politely. “It’s my pleasure to


    meet you, the Goddess of War, Lana Zechs and the Queen of War, Queenie Lynch!”


    “You know me?”


    There were signs of shock and surprise in Queenie’s eyes. A moment ago when Lana heard that jackie


    was here, she was bbergasted with joy and could barely conceal her delight. She did not even think


    twice before ordering her bodyguards to let jackie and Selena in.


    Therefore, she was a little bit curious about this man— jackie White, wondering who this man really was,


    to actually be able to get such high regard and respect from Lana.


    “I often heard of the Goddess of War mentioning your name. Hence, I naturally know who you are!


    Queenie Lynch, the Queen of War, who is not only good-looking but also her Flying-Dagger technique is


    impable. Especially the battle at the mouth of the River Hartmonth, it was marvelous and made you


    famous since then!”


    jackie chuckled and spewed those words out slowly.


    “You…this…I…”


    Queenie’s cheeks were immediately kissed pink at jackie’s words. How could this stranger before him


    know her so well?


    The most shocking news was that he said that Lana often mentioned her to him. Did this mean that he


    always mingled with Lana? In that case, the identity of this adopted son-inw of the Taylor family was


    clearly not simple.


    “ jackie and Sister-inw, wee to my humble abode. Just make yourselffortable. jackie is like


    my brother, always taking care of me, so don’t feel shy or anything, okay?”


    Chapter 787


    What shocked Selena further was that Lana took the initiative to lean forward and shake her hand. Lana


    smiled at Selena warmly as she weed them with open arms.


    “This…How can this be okay?”


    Selena was ttered and astonished, at the same time, she did not know how to respond.


    “What’s not okay with that? As I said, jackie and I are really close, best buddies that kind of close. So it’s


    natural for me to call you sister-inw.


    As Lana spoke, her expressive eyes looked towards jackie and then only wheeled back to facing Selena.


    Seeing such intimate behaviors between both of them, reminded Selena of the episode that happened


    last time. Although the rumor of jackie being the sugar baby of Lana was purely a misunderstanding and


    jackie did not meet with Lana at all afterward, Selena could help but feel doubtful of their rtionship.


    The rtionship between jackie and Lana seemed beyond the ordinary ‘good’. Moreover, Lana called


    her ‘sister-inw’, could it be that the two of them truly had an ambiguous yet romantic rtionship?


    Even if jackie was not Lana’s sugar baby, such a rtionship only happened when the two had reached


    somewhat an ambiguous romantic level, otherwise, why would Lana allow them in so easily, and she


    was being way too enthusiastic about their visit.


    “Oh right! By the way, this pair of bracelets is from jackie and me. We pick it for you, hope you’ll like it,


    the Goddess of War!”


    Selena shed an awkward smile. She quickly thought of something and handed over the gift box to


    Lana.


    “Really? Wow! You shouldn’t have! Mi casa es su casa. Just treat my house as your own, you don’t have


    to buy me anything!”


    Lanaughed joyously, and then continued, “Feel free to walk around! I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare a


    few more dishes and we’ll have a few drinks at noonter! I’m so, so, so happy that you guys cane


    today!”


    Lana disappeared from the living room to find the chefs right after she finished her sentence.


    More questions and doubts were mushrooming inside Selena’s heart. She felt that the rtionship


    between jackie and Lana was not simple. Besides, Lana had mentioned several times that just treated


    her house as their own, could this be a hint of something?


    “Could it be that they have a rtionship beyond friendship, and they want me to have mental


    preparation first?”


    Selena bit her rosy lips as she murmured to herself. It would not be a bad idea if jackie were to have


    Lana as his second wife and everyone lived together.


    After all, jackie was a man who liked to stir up troubles. He had just offended the Drake family a few days


    ago. This behavior of his was too worrying and made the people around him unable to sleep well at night


    as they were afraid of revenge from the Drake family.


    Hence, if jackie was together with Lana, then even the Drake family would not dare to offend any of


    them. Besides, Lana was an attractive woman with such an alluring good figure, and she had high status


    as well. It was a blessing for jackie to be with her.


    “Dear, what’re you thinking about?”


    jackie noticed that Selena was pondering deeply about something, he could not help but let out a small


    smile. “C’mon, let’s go outside for a casual walk. It’s really nice and wide here.” He took her hand as he


    spoke.


    After saying that, jackie turned his head, faced Queenie, and said, “Dear Queen of War, would you like to


    join us for a stroll outside?”


    “I’d rather not. I’ve already walked around with Goddess of War a moment ago. Please go ahead without


    me!”


    Queenieughed warmly. If she agreed to walk with them, she would be the third wheel. How could she


    be the third wheel when she saw the couple was all lovey-dovey?


    “Dear, Lana was not bad at all. As a Goddess of War, she’s not arrogant nor brazen!”


    When they were outside, Selena asked jackie and looked at him like a sneaky thief. She wanted to study


    his reaction.


    “Well, she’s indeed a good woman!”


    jackie bobbed in agreement. Lana was his disciple, of course, he knew that she was good.


    Chapter 788


    Hope bloomed inside Selena when she heard jackie’s opinion on Lana. It looked like jackie had a good


    impression of Lana. In that case, was it possible for them to be together? Or perhaps they had been in


    an ambiguous rtionship that was beyond friendship for a long time?


    At least, jackie did not reject Lana like how he did to Sharon George.


    “You really think that she’s a good woman? I think the same too!”


    Selena lowered her head as she verified. Then she continued in a lower voice, “If…If both of you think


    highly of each other, then…then… I think, dear, you can have her as the second wife. I totally ept it!”


    jackie’s eyes were as wide as saucers and his jaw dropped to the ground upon hearing what Selena had


    spewed. “Huh? What’s wrong, honey? What nonsense are you talking about? I do think that she’s a good


    woman but I don’t think of her in that way!”


    “But, what’s wrong with that? Since both of you feel good about each other, we might as well think in that


    direction. And perhaps you will slowly develop feelings for her!”


    Selena burst out. “Besides, if you are together, I don’t have to be afraid that you’ll get into trouble and die


    one day! Because Lana can protect you!”


    “She protects me?”


    A speechless look covered jackie. “It’s more like I protect her!”


    “Stop spilling nonsense again. She is the Goddess of War, how could you protect her? Do you even have


    that ability to protect her?”


    Selena did not know tough or to cry at jackie’s ount. She held his hand and continued, “Anyway,


    don’t you think it’s really strange? I’m referring to the Supreme Warrior. Who this Supreme Warrior really


    is? I heard that he is incredibly powerful, beyond all Gods of War. But unfortunately, no one has ever


    seen his face, so I’m curious!”


    jackie tried his best to hold back hisughs, at the same time, his cries when he heard it. Inside his mind,


    he was murmuring to himself ‘not only you have seen the Supreme Warrior, but also you’ve built a family


    with him!’.


    A smile escaped from his mouth. He wrapped his strong arm around Selena’s waist and said, “Honey,


    why are you so excited whenever you talk about the Supreme Warrior? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love


    with him, who’s the strongest and most powerful man in Daxia? Okay. If this man who happened to like


    you and asked you to marry him, would you say yes?”


    In the next second, Selena shot jackie a deadly stare and rolled her eyes. “What nonsense again, why


    would I say yes to him? My husband treats me so well, you’re enough for me. Besides, the Supreme


    Warrior is so good-looking and powerful, and holds a high position in this country, even if he’s able to


    notice my existence, I’m not worthy of a powerful figure like him!”


    “Okay, what if, what if you’re worthy?”


    jackie smiled bitterly and pried further.


    “Well. That won’t work either. You’re more than enough. “


    Selena wrapped her arms around fane in return and pressed her face into jackie’s chest. Her face was


    red and adorable.


    “Silly, you’re more than enough too!”


    In the distance, Lana, who was standing near the door, sneakily took a picture of the lovey-dovey couple


    in the garden and sent it to the message group.


    In this group, there were Nine Great Gods of War, except jackie.


    Usually, the chatting group was as quiet as a mouse, only a few messages popped out from time to time.


    “Wow, Lana, did I see it wrong or what? It’s our Master!” Abner Young—one of the Nice Great Gods of


    War—eximed excitedly in a text he sent.


    “Oh My God! I haven’t seen Master for a long time, is that woman the Mistress? The photo is only


    showing her back, I’m sad that I can’t know what the Mistress really looks like!”


    Ethan Hays, who was in the midst of treating someone, was equally excited after seeing the message in


    the group.


    “Unfortunately, our Master does not want us to disturb his tranquil life. Otherwise, I really hope to pay a


    visit to Eastfield and see how our Mistress looks like. From this photo, even it’s only her back, I can


    already deduce that she’s a beauty!”


    Fernando Campbell, another God of War, could hardly contain his happiness as well.


    Chapter 789


    Soon, Sam Johnson and the other Gods of War started to have a heated discussion inside.


    “Lana, I’m really envious that you get to be with our master. Oh my, such luck!” God of War Ethan Hays


    said in excitement.


    “you guys don’t know this yet but our master is trying to do a wedding ceremony for his wife on her


    birthday. Master’s wife doesn’t know about this yet and only thinks that our master is nning a birthday


    party for her. However, I’ve already booked a hotel as per the master’s instructions and he’s already


    given permission that all of you cane if you want to. Firstly, you cannot expose his identity as the


    Supreme Warrior; secondly, nobody can expose the fact that he’s your master. Decide what you want to


    do yourself!” Lana had a smile at the corner of her lips and sent another message to the group.


    “What?!” Ethan grew increasingly excited. “That’s great. We finally get to meet our master after a long


    time and enjoy ourselves in Eastfield. I heard that there are many pretty women here. Let’s see if I can


    get a wife here!”


    “How’s that possible? Ethan, you’re a God of War. Aren’t there loads of prettydies waiting in lines to


    have blind dates with you after you went home? You are still single? You have really high requirements!”


    God of War Abner Young replied in surprise.


    “By the way, can I bring my family members? Lana, I would like to bring my wives. I have two wives


    now!” Fernando Campbell asked in the group.


    “Fernando, you’re doing really good! You actually married another wife?” Lana said in surprise. “How can


    you be seduced so easily?!”


    Fernando continued to say. “Well, what should I say? There are so many prettydies that I had to give


    in to their seduction. I grew fond of a girl I knew from my younger days! How about you, Lana? You


    should get someone! However, you do need to be careful as you’re considered rich and have a high


    status nowadays. Observe those men carefully as some of them might be pleasing you in order to use


    your power!”


    Lana smiled and replied. “Don’t worry, Fernando. I understand this very clearly in my heart. Master has


    already informed me that everybody who wants to bring their family members can do as they please and


    treat this as a trip. However, the hotel I booked doesn’t have a helipad. If any of you n toe over in


    your private helicopters, you would need to park it on the empty space outside of the city ande in via


    car!”


    “Alright, we got it. Thank you, Lana! There are still ten days and I really look forward to it!” Fernando


    replied.


    “Okay, I shall stop here as master and his wife are walking over. I’m going to keep thempany as I


    want to have some drinks with our master’s wifeter!” Lana once again sent a message that caused all


    Gods of War to be envious before cing the phone in her pocket.


    “How’s it? Do you like it? James Drake really has a good taste and this ce has got a really nice


    design!” Lana smiled and asked when she saw the duo walking over.


    “It’s quite nice. I wonder how’s the Supreme Warrior Manor? We should go take a look in the future!”


    jackie smiled and said.


    “I don’t think you can go in and the most you can do is peek from the entrance!” Selena smiled bitterly.


    When James knew that the Supreme Warrior and Goddess of War wereing, he purposely ordered


    people to build a Supreme Warrior Manor and God of War Vi as gifts for both of them.


    Pitifully, the Supreme Warrior had never appeared until this day. Looking forward to his appearance in


    Eastfield was like a dream.


    However, the Supreme Warrior Manor was still useful as the Supreme Warrior could use it for his


    vacation anytime he traveled to Eastfield.


    Chapter 790


    Queenie Lynch was surprised as she could clearly feel how close jackie was to Lana.


    After they had lunch, they went outside for a stroll.


    jackie looked at Lana and asked when Selena went to the toilet. “Have you done what I asked you to


    help me with? Is the hotel booked?”


    “Don’t you worry, I’ve already booked the hotel, wedding dress and everything else! The wedding dress


    is a gift from the shop. What should I say? They forcefully gifted the best dress of their shop to me when


    they knew that I’m the Goddess of War. I think that Selena will definitely look pretty in it!” Lana smiled


    and continued saying. “As for the hotel, they decided to give us a 50% discount on everything after they


    knew that I’m there to book the entire ce!”


    “A 50% discount?!” jackie was embarrassed when he heard. “Aren’t they afraid of losing money?”


    “Hey, you need to understand that I’m the Goddess of War. My appearance at their hotel is automatically


    an advertisement. The owner won’t be losing any money with a 50% discount. Their future business will


    surely improve when they use me as their subject of the advertisement. These businessmen are very


    smart!” Lana rolled her eyes at jackie before saying happily.


    Beside them, Queenie was dumbfounded by what she heard. Were they joking? jackie actually asked


    Lana to secretly run errands for him? Apart from that, it seemed that Lana really enjoyed helping him.


    What was going on between them? She started wondering if both of them had some ambiguous


    rtionship between them when she saw how close they were.


    “Alright, keep this a secret!” jackie nodded and looked at Queen of War Queenie. “Queen of War Lynch,


    kindly keep this a secret too!”


    “Don’t you worry as this has nothing to do with me. I think I will be going back tomorrow!” Queenie


    smiled. She did not live there and was only here to pay her superior a visit.


    “Queenie, you cannot leave because you will definitely regret it if you leave today!” Lana smiled, nced


    in the direction of where the toilet was before continuing speaking to Queenie. “Let me tell you about it.


    jackie prepared a wedding ceremony for Selena and it is disguised as her birthday dinner. He’s prepared


    to surprise Selena and all the other Gods of War are rushing over to attend it. Don’t you want to meet


    Fernando Campbell, Ethan Hays, and the others?”


    “What?!” Queenie was startled when she heard this. “Lana, did I hear correctly? You’re saying that they


    are alling here? All 8 Gods of War areing over to attend the ceremony?”


    “Definitely! Do you think I will lie to you?” Lana smiled and said.


    “Oh my god, that’s awesome! All the Gods of War areing over? Oh my god, I…I can’t even dream


    about something like this. They are actually…” Queenie was so excited that she did not know what to


    say and her voice was trembling.


    The Nine Great Gods of War seldom had the chance to gather when they were on the battlefield as they


    were always leading their team and fighting the enemies. It was considered as a big asion when two


    Gods of War gathered at the same ce. It would be such a sensation if all nine Great Gods of War


    gathered at the same ce!


    It seemed that she had made the right choice bying over here.


    However, she soon realized a problem. Who was jackie? Why was he so capable and was able to get all


    Nine Great Gods of War to join his wedding ceremony?


    A person suddenly shed through her head. This person had on a dragon-shaped mask and was a


    stronger master than the Nine Great Gods of War. This person was the strongest master amongst the


    entire Daxia army.


    This person was the Supreme Warrior. All this while, nobody had ever seen the Supreme Warrior’s true


    appearance. Was it possible that jackie in front of her was the Supreme Warrior?


    “Is…is it possible that you’re my idol, Master Su…Supreme Warrior?!”


    Chapter 791


    Queenie’s chest heaved in excitement as she looked at jackie, starry-eyed.


    Queenie’s spot-on guess made jackie flustered. It seemed that he made the right move when he asked


    the other Gods of War to find an excuse when they came over.


    “You must be! I’ve seen you on the battlefield once. Your height and figure definitely matched the


    Supreme Warrior!” gushed Queenie once she picked up on jackie’s silence.


    jackie nodded. “Keep it a secret for me, alright? I don’t want others to know that I’m the Supreme


    Warrior.”


    “But of course, I’ll keep it a secret!” Queenie was so excited that she almost cried.


    “Ahh!” Queenie shrieked animatedly and rushed forward to hug jackie, unable to control her impulses.


    “I’m so excited! I’m so, so excited! I can’t stop myself! I need to hug my idol!”


    “Queenie, Selena’sing back!” Queenie’s actions stunned Lana speechless. Lana then turned to look


    and spotted—not too far away—Selenaing out of the toilet.


    Selena’s jaws seemed as though it was unhinged when she noticed what transpired in her absence; she


    wondered if she was hallucinating. What was going on? Did they not say that it was Lana and jackie that


    had an ambiguous rtionship? Why…why is Queenie hugging jackie?


    She could not put two and two together, even when she thought about it deeply.


    Although Queenie was not as beguiling or voluptuous as Lana, she was a beautiful woman in her own


    rights. Was it possible that these two women were in a rtionship with jackie?


    Selena smiled feebly before she made her way toward jackie.


    Queenie was surprised when she heard Lana’s warning and quickly let go of jackie, though her nerves


    were still frazzled with excitement. This Queen of War—who was highly regarded by others—became


    jackie’s fangirl at that instant.


    Queenie tried her best to maintain calm. She smiled and exined embarrassingly, “My apologies,


    Selena, I was too excited. I just… I just happened to realize that jackie looked very much like an idol I


    know, so I couldn’t help myself!”


    “Idol?” Selena wondered what was going on. She looked at jackie cautiously but was unable to make out


    who jackie looked like. She admitted jackie was rather handsome, but he did not share a semnce with


    any famous idol. Was it a lesser-known idol?


    “Yes, it’s… It’s someone very strong in our division. He’s my idol!” Queenie quickly thought about it and


    exined herself.


    Selena finally realized what Queenie was talking about. “Oh, I see. You’re talking about someone in the


    armies. I racked my head for anyone in particr, but I just couldn’t find the idol match!”


    They rested there for some time before jackie left with Selena.


    The moment the two left, Lana turned to look at Queenie. With a bitter, disbelief smile, she said, “You


    almost exposed the Supreme Warrior!”


    “I… I couldn’t help myself. This is the first time I faced the Supreme Warrior! Oh my god, I actually


    managed to hug him just now! I’m going to talk about this until the day I die!” Queenie grew excited once


    again, and her dignity as the Queen of War was nowhere to be found.


    Chapter 792


    Queenie’s antics stunned Lana, and thetter said, “You should wait for another ten days! By then, the


    other Gods of War will be here and you’ll be able to take a photo with them. You’ll get the chance to talk


    all about it all you want by then, don’t you think?”


    “Yes, you’re definitely right!” Queenie grew restless when she thought about it, and with a smile on her


    face, she added, “I never thought I could attend the Supreme Warrior and his wife’s wedding ceremony.


    This means that I’m able to witness a historic moment!”


    “Look how excited you are!” Lanaughed. “Are you still in a rush to go back now?”


    “No! Definitely not! Why should I go back? I have to stay here and attend the wedding!” Queenie thought


    about it and continued saying, “By the way, since this is the Supreme Warrior’s wedding, how much


    should I give as their present? How about one billion? Would that be too little? No, no, I need to give him


    two billion. After all, this is the Supreme Warrior’s wedding, and one billion is too little to represent my


    sincerity!”


    Lana was speechless. “Queen of War Lynch, it’s best if you stay calm, alright? It’s too much if you give


    him one or two billion. Wouldn’t you expose his identity to others if you did that? Wouldn’t others start


    questioning it? Apart from that, I don’t think the other Gods of War would give that much of an amount!”


    “If that’s the case, how much should I give? I’m going crazy, I can’t think straight!” Queenie was still very


    excited.


    …


    Once they got out of the God of War Mansion, jackie and Selena got on a taxi and headed straight to


    Ben’s new inte cafe.


    “It seems the inte cafe is doing great! Business seems to be good!” beamed Selena, followed with a


    short chuckle as they looked around the second floor of the inte cafe.


    Meanwhile, Ben was talking with the cashier. Surely, the people who came with him—such as ine,


    who was there to protect him—were also enjoying themselves.


    Out of the blue… “Excuse us! Excuse us!” Several gangsters rushed in with baseball bats at hand. They


    pushed jackie and Selena away with arrogant expressions on their faces as they strode.


    “Is Ben in trouble?” Selena was slightly worried when she assessed the situation.


    “I don’t think so.” jackie frowned. “How’s it possible that he offended someone when he just started his


    business? I think these people are here to cause trouble.”


    The gangsters walked behind the counter before one of them said aggressively, “Our boss said that your


    inte cafe is interrupting ours. It’s best if you close up tomorrow, get it? If not, we’ll break every piece


    of equipment in here!”


    “We’re in your way?” Ben scoffed after he heard this and said, “You guys are going overboard. The


    business of your inte cafe is bad because your service is bad. Apart from that, your equipment is bad


    and old, and you’re here to wreck the ce because business is bad?”


    One of the men—with yellow-colored hair—raised his chin as he knocked on the counter lightly with his


    baseball bat. “Young man, we don’t care about those things. Just close up tomorrow or we won’t be


    holding back!”


    “Does your boss have a death wish?” ine and two other pretty bodyguards walked over, expressions


    darkened with anger.


    “Oh, and we have three beautifuldies here. Tsk, tsk! I never expected this. No wonder business is


    good here… They have pretty waitresses!” One of the men swallowed his saliva when he saw those


    three pairs of legs that could go on for days.


    “Big Brother, look at the words on their clothes. Taylor family’s bodyguard? What’s going on?” Another


    man was slightly afraid.


    The yellow-haired man merely scoffed, “Don’t be afraid, they’re just some women. We have so many


    people with us! Do you think that we can’t settle it? What bodyguards would tantly state that they’re


    bodyguards on their clothes? They’re just lying to us, in an attempt of an intimidation tactic!”


    Chapter 793


    “You’re right. This is the first time I’ve seen bodyguards with their positions tantly written on their


    clothes!” The man who was initially afraid rxed at the thought. “Thesedies look really stunning. Is it


    possible that this inte cafe provides some other special services? Why else would their business do


    so well if it isn’t true?”


    “Oh yeah. Why didn’t I think of that?” The yellow-haired guy’s eyes twinkled as he gulped his saliva.


    “Bastards!” ine and the two other bodyguards looked at each other before charging forward at the


    same time. In a blink of an eye, the entire group of gangsters fell to the ground as they groaned in pain.


    jackie smiled. “It seems like I don’t have to intervene, someone else will settle this for me.” It seemed that


    his choice of employing more bodyguards was a wise one.


    At the very least, they could protect his family under most circumstances.


    “Let’s go!” The gangsters struggled for some time before they could get back up on their feet. Horrified,


    the gangsters ran away like drowned mice while their eyes were filled with dread.


    “Sister, Brother-inw, why are you guys here?” Ben, upon noticing jackie and Selena, weed them


    with a smile.


    “We’re free and have no work to bepleted, so we came over to see how you’re doing!” Selena


    looked at Ben with a pleased smile on her face. Ben had finally grown up.


    “Thank you for thinking of me fondly, Sister. Have you guys had lunch? Do you want to have something?


    My treat!” Ben chuckled.


    “Oh, we’ve eaten already. We’re just here to take a look, nothing more!” assured jackie with a smile. “It


    seems like your business is doing good. We’re happy for you.”


    It was then when Ben lowered his head. Shyly, he blurted, “Sister, Brother-inw, there’s something I’d


    like to tell you guys. I… I’m in love!”


    “When did it happen? Who is it? It happened so quickly!” jackie and Selena were surprised when they


    heard Ben’s announcement. After all, Ben had not been in contact with other girls and was busy with the


    inte cafe all the while.


    “It’s… It’s ine.” Ben pulled ine’s hand shyly and introduced her to them.


    ine’s blush seared across her cheeks as she meekly said, “Master, do…do you guys approve of us?”


    jackie was over the moon. “Nonsense, of course we do! How can we not approve this?” ine was no


    doubt a nice girl, yet nobody knew she would date Ben after they spent these few days together.


    “I’m absolutely thrilled with this!” Selena was just as excited. She said to Ben, “Ben, I can see that ine


    is a good girl, and she’s a thousand times better than Xena. Don’t let her down, alright? You have to


    cherish her well!”


    “Don’t worry, Selena. He’s a weakling, so he won’t even dare hurt my feelings. We’ll be fine as long as I


    don’t hurt him!” said ine jokingly, a sweet smile adorning her face as she did. “Moreover, he’d never


    win if we ever fight.”


    Chapter 794


    Only then did Selena recall that although ine seemed obedient and cute, she was no regr girl. Her


    martial arts was better than Ben by a hundred times.


    Still, she knew Ben was someone who cherished his girlfriend with all his heart, so she was sure he


    would not bully ine. They were indeed a match made in heaven.


    “Alright, I’m really happy that the two of you are together. We’ll be taking our leave now.” Selena smiled


    and was about to leave with jackie.


    “Selena, since you’re already here with jackie and this is an inte cafe, why don’t you guys spend one


    to two hours here? Come support my business!” came Ben’s cheeky reply.


    “Are you kidding? Do you think we’re people who like to surf the inte like that? Alright, that’s it. Bye!”


    Selena turned around while waving at Ben.


    Meanwhile… “Ahem, ahem! ine, I hand Ben to you. He’s a shy person and doesn’t take the initiative


    to make moves most of the time. We know this because he had been with Xena for a long period of time,


    yet he didn’t touch her. Be more proactive, okay?” teased jackie.


    “Master, what are you talking about? I’m a girl! How can I take the initiative if the guy isn’t actively doing


    anything? I’m no loose woman!” ine’s face blushed a crimson color. She never thought that there


    would be times when the highly respected Supreme Warrior would make such jokes.


    “Oh, ine, you’re just asking for it!” Ben nced at ine before quickly kissing her on her cheek.


    “Ah!” ine never thought Ben would act so boldly and kiss her in front of so many people in the inte


    cafe. This caused her to instantly turn very shy.


    This was also the first time Ben did something so boldly, and he ran far away after he kissed ine as if


    he was afraid she would hit him.


    Chuckles escaped ine’s lips as she saw Ben scurrying away. “Come over here, I won’t hit you! Don’t


    make me look like a shrew!”


    “You… You won’t hit me? You’re not angry?” Ben was in disbelief as he carefully walked toward ine.


    Suddenly, ine grabbed onto him tightly and pulled him closer so she could kiss his cheek. “Hmph. I


    want to kiss you too! You can’t be the only one who gets something out of this!”


    “Oh my!” Ben jumped in excitement, and many people in the inte cafe started pping and cheering


    after they saw this.


    Ben chuckled with glee as he gushed to the crowd, “That made me so happy! I’ll treat every customer


    here to two hours of free time!”


    “Thank you, Boss!”


    “The boss is the best!” Every customer in the cafe cheered at Ben’s announcement.


    Pleased with the turn of events, jackie and Selena happily left.


    Chapter 795


    Selena felt at ease. She used to worry how Ben led his life in a muddle, and she was also worried about


    him marrying Xena. She knew it in her guts that Xena was no good for Ben; the girl was terribly


    calctive and liked to fake things.


    ine was much purer whenpared to Xena, and it helped that ine was much prettier as well.


    As they both had clear schedules for the day, they both went to pick up Kylie from school.


    Needless to say, Kylie was over the moon when both her mother and father came to pick her up from


    school. Her excitement was written all over her face.


    Everybody rested well that night.


    …


    Fiona woke Selena and jackie very early in the morning.


    “What is it, Mother? I still want to continue my beauty sleep. Why did you wake me up so early in the


    morning? I don’t need to work nowadays,” muttered a disgruntled Selena. She slept ratherst night, and


    it transpired after jackie’s suggestivement about having a second child. Of course, they both slept


    late.


    Selena wanted to wake up muchter as she was still very tired. She never thought that her mother


    would wake her at eight in the morning.


    “Listen to me: One of my best friends who married a person overseas has returned after ten years since


    herst trip back. She’s called me and wants to treat us to a meal!” chirped an obviously excited Fiona.


    “She’s treating you to a meal, Mother, and you can go alone in that case. Why do you need to wake us


    up? We’re not interested to eat with your best friend. We don’t even know her!” Selena was


    dumbfounded at her mother’s reasoning. She rolled her eyes at her mother and was prepared to go back


    to bed.


    “Get up! Don’t go back to sleep! There’s a reason why I’m waking you guys up. This is not just a normal


    meal. My best friend’s father has caught a very weird disease, and since jackie knows how to cure


    people, I think he can go and help take a look.” Fiona pulled Selena back to sit up. “Since your husband


    is going, you need to apany him and go too. Apart from that, this best friend of mine is rather


    wealthy overseas! I heard that they operate a really bigpany there!”


    “Are you being serious? Sure, jackie knows how to cure people, but he can’t cure every illness, right?”


    Selena looked at jackie as she pouted.


    jackie smiled. “Well, I can cure almost all illnesses. Even Ethan Hays’s medical skills aren’t as good as


    mine.”


    “Fine. And you’re starting to boast again,” Selena conceded, though a small smile appeared on her face.


    “Alright, let’s go. Let me tidy myself up and I’ll tag along for food.”


    “That’s right. Isn’t it nice as we’re able to enjoy a big meal without paying anything?” With a pleased grin


    on her face, Fiona then told Selena, “By the way, bring your most expensive bag and put on your


    expensive jewelry, Selena. I remember how we were once poor, and I can see that even my best friend


    looked down on me. Hmph! Now that I’m rich, I’m never going to let a repeat of that happening.”


    “Mother, you don’t seem like you’re going to a reunion with your best friend. It seems like you’re only


    going to show off.” Selena grew frustrated. Was it necessary to parade herself before others?


    “Nonsense! I’m rich now, and it’s only right that I get to unt however I want to. Years ago, she snatched


    a man that I really liked and that man fell for her money,” Fiona said angrily. “Eventually, she found out


    that this guy had rtionships with several other women at the same time, and she went overseas after


    they broke up. Who would’ve thought that she’d marry a man while she’s out there, and that man is also


    from Daxia!”


    “Wow, Mother, I didn’t know you had quite the story from way back then!” said Selena with a smile after


    she finished washing her face. “So you married my fatherter on, huh? You got your hands on a young


    master from a third-ss aristocratic family?”


    “Absolutely not! The Taylor family wasn’t a third-ss aristocratic family at that time, though they were


    considered as a wealthy family who does business!” came Fiona’s straight-forward reply, not beating


    around the bush. “It’s a pity that your father is a disappointing person and doesn’t have much talent in


    businesses. I spent my life in a wretched way even though I’m married to him.”


    Chapter 796


    Fiona’sment on Selena’s father—her own husband—stunned Selena to the point she had no proper


    words to say. She rolled her eyes at Fiona. “Mother, Father is a very nice person. He’s at least a person


    who doesn’t talk much and is quite honest. He’s considered as a responsible person and isn’t hard-


    headed, and you should be satisfied with his character. Apart from that, he’s never looked at other


    women all this while, right?”


    Fiona instantly snapped just as Selena finished speaking, “Him? I wouldn’t mind if he gets another wife if


    she’s a really capable person. On the flip side, if she’s incapable and still wants another wife, I’ll teach


    him a good lesson!” Fiona paused here before continuing, “On a second thought, if she’s capable and


    can give me ten million monthly so that I can spend to my heart’s content, I wouldn’t even bat an eye if


    he had two or three other wives!”


    jackie and Selena were speechless when they heard what Fiona said. It seemed that Fiona was really


    infatuated with money.


    “Let’s drive the Rolls-Royce,” said Fiona right as jackie was about to enter a different car. She chuckled


    before adding, “This car is much more expensive than the other cars!”


    jackie and Selena were dumbfounded for the nth time due to Fiona’s choices and words. They could only


    agree and boarded the Rolls-Royce and left.


    …


    The Rolls-Royce entered thepound of a grand-looking hotel, and they parked at the underground


    car park before they went to the lobby via the lift.


    Fiona looked around before greeting a woman in her forties standing not too far away from them. “Oh


    my, Irene! It’s been a long time! I barely recognize you!” She led jackie and Selena toward that woman.


    “Fiona, it’s been a long time!” The woman had on extremely heavy makeup and a branded bag in her


    arms. As Fiona and herpany came closer toward her, Irene added, “You look good, Fiona! You’ve


    been doing a great job maintaining yourself, and you look rather loaded too. This… This bag is from


    Hermes, right? Tsk, tsk! You’re a rich woman now!”


    Irene then turned to look at jackie and Selena. She smiled and asked, “And these two are…?”


    “This is my daughter, Selena, and my son-inw, jackie,” Fiona replied with a smile. She was satisfied


    when Irene herself noted how rich she had be.


    “Oh my, your daughter has grown up! She’s got such a great temperament and a real beauty to boot.


    The daughter of our ss belle is undeniably beautiful!” Irene praised them.


    Fiona’s grin never left her face. “Oh you, stop talking about it. Being the ss belle was ages ago!” There


    was no lie; Fiona was the most beautiful girl in their ss back then.


    “Oh, yes! This is my husband, Lawrence Watson, and my son, Jayden Watson!” Irene introduced the


    men standing beside her with a smile. One of them was her son and the other was her husband.


    Chapter 797


    Despite his portly body size, Lawrence’s height gave him the image of a burly man. He had a cigar in his


    mouth which he was half-way done with.


    He measured Selena and Fiona for some time before he smilingly said, “I’ve heard from Irene that her


    best friend here is the prettiest woman in her ss, and now that we’ve met face-to-face, I see that


    you’re indeed stunning. Your daughter is all grown-up, yet you’re still so charming. You look like you’re in


    your thirties.”


    “Oh my, Mr. Watson, you’re too generous! This best friend of mine was also one of the prettiest girls in


    our ss!” Fiona could not control the smile on her face. The group of three in front of her were people


    from the upper ss, and their twenty or-so bodyguards were men from foreign countries. The


    bodyguards—including two men of color—looked rather strong.


    Fiona looked at the slightly chubby young man by their side. “Your son also looks handsome!”


    jackie was bewildered by Fiona’s choice of words. While Jayden was no ugly man, he was not handsome


    either.


    “They all say that. What can I do? All rich people look handsome!” Jayden wore a rather arrogant smirk


    as he added, “Daxia seems to be doing quite well and is developing quite quickly, but I feel that the air


    here isn’t as good as America. The environment there is so much sweeter and nicerpared to this


    ce!”


    jackie was downright pissed to hear such words. Had it been any other man instead of the son of Fiona’s


    best friend, he would have pped him with all his might. This guy was from Daxia. How dare he say


    something like this just after living several years overseas?!


    “Is that true? I’m so sorry that you have to suffer here. I wonder why you still came back if the air here is


    so bad!” While jackie could not put him in his ce right then and there, he could not help slipping a


    comeback at Jayden.


    “If we didn’t have things to do here and didn’t need to send my grandfather back here for treatment, I


    wouldn’t have returned!” Jayden nced at jackie and smiled coldly. “Your wife and mother-inw are


    dressed up so well, but you’re dressed so badly. Can’t you dress up since you’ll be having a meal in such


    a high-ss hotel?”


    jackie merely chuckled. “It doesn’t seem bad at all. This clothing is worth a few thousand dors, and I


    think that this is good enough!” jackie looked at the clothes on him. His clothes were quite new and


    clean, so he did not feel that there was anything wrong.


    He would not have bought such expensive clothes if Selena and Fiona had not asked him to buy several


    better clothes. In his opinion, clothes were extra. He never thought such clothes would be ridiculed by


    others.


    Still, what Jayden said made sense as Selena and Fiona wore clothes worth ten thousand a piece.


    Compared to them, what he was wearing seemed out of ce.


    Fiona’s face darkened when she heard jackie’s reply. She recalled how she only reminded Selena to


    dress up nicely in her haste, so much so that she forgot to remind jackie. She saw him wearing new


    clothes so she thought that he had worn something much more expensive. Fiona never thought what he


    had on was something only worth several thousand dors.


    With a sheepish smile on her face, Fiona sheepishly chuckled and said, “My son-inw isn’t a particr


    person. We actually have lots of clothes that are worth tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.


    He’s just dressed casually today!”


    Fiona then hardened her gaze at jackie as she said, “Look at you. You’re here to meet the honorable Mr.


    Watson! How can you dress so casually? Please take care of your image in the future, alright?”


    jackie was rather unhappy with that. Fiona asked him to please the other party when they were such


    arrogant people. Was it only because they traveled to many countries and were well-off people?


    “It’s okay, it’s okay… Let’s go downstairs now! I’ve already booked a private room for us!” Lawrence


    laughed and alleviated the situation.


    Chapter 798


    “It baffles me how a man who’s daft in picking clothes to wear for certain asions could get such a


    beautiful wife! I wonder how you get so lucky.” Jayden looked at jackie again before he turned to walk


    toward the lift, his eyes filled with contempt.


    “I…” jackie balled his fists tightly and was ready to run right for him.


    jackie only managed to take one step forward before Selena interjected him.


    She stopped him with her eyes, and it was only after everyone else had gone before them did she say,


    “Why do you care about what trashy people like him say? Let’s ignore him, and we’ll leave after we finish


    our meal. People like this leave a bad taste in my mouth. I wouldn’t havee had it not been Mother


    forcing us toe!”


    “Alright.” jackie quickly stamped down his anger after Selena coaxed him, and he told himself to not drop


    to the levels of such trashy people.


    …


    The group of people soon entered a well-decorated private room.


    “Everybody can order what you like to your heart’s content. To be honest, I grew up overseas and I


    seldom eat this kind of food. I don’t really like the food here!” Young Master Watson sat down and still


    had an aloof attitude.


    Selena and Fiona smiled embarrassingly before taking up the menu and started ordering dishes.


    “Jayden, be careful when you speak. Although you grew up overseas and you seldom stayed at Daxia,


    your mother and I are Daxians. By default, you’re also a Daxian, with Daxian blood running in you. Do


    you understand?” Lawrence eyed his son sharply as he continued, “The war that happened between


    both countries not long ago is quite embarrassing for people with our status.”


    “Embarrassing? What’s so embarrassing about that? Didn’t Uncle Watson just say that we’re all


    Daxians? This is nothing embarrassing, right?” jackie casually replied with a smirk.


    “Sigh… Although we’re Daxians, we’re considered Americans since we’ve lived there for quite some


    time, and this goes especially for my son. He’s been living there from a young age, and he seldom


    returns to Daxia. This is his third time back here, and we were the ones who specially wished that both


    countries didn’t go into war because we have feelings for both countries!” Lawrence sighed and had a


    helpless expression on his face.


    jackie started smiling coldly again once he heard this. “So that’s what you mean. After the rather detailed


    exnation, it seems like you two are almost bing residents of both countries. This is really


    ridiculous! How can you not know where you’re from? What’s the difference between this and being in


    two rtionships at the same time?”


    Jayden instantly mmed his palm against the table as he shot up from his seat, his hardened gaze


    fixed onto jackie in anger. “What’s with all this talk? If it wasn’t because your mother-inw and my


    mother are best friends, you won’t be walking out of this hotel in one piece!”


    “Really? Just with these people?” jackieughed and stood up after he heard what Jayden said. “I’m


    going to be honest with you: Your bodyguards are nothing in my opinion!”


    Lawrence intended to reprimand him, wanting to show his anger, but he said nothing when he saw


    Jayden getting angry.


    Lawrence smirked a cold smirk at jackie’s boisterous reply. “You’re rather arrogant for saying such things.


    It seems like you’re good at fighting. If that’s the case, do you want to test your strength with my


    bodyguards? You can choose who you want. How about that?”


    “One? Are you really looking down on me? They can alle at me for all I care!” jackie smiled coldly


    and looked at their bodyguards in disdain. Most of these bodyguards were Americans, and both men of


    dark skin seemed rather powerful. It so happened that jackie wanted to test himself out.


    Chapter 799


    “Sit down, jackie! What nonsense are you talking about? We’re here to eat, not to fight!” Fiona was so


    angry that she almost fainted. They were here to have a meal and to see if jackie can help treat Jayden’s


    grandfather. It never urred to her that the situation would turn sour; she forgot that jackie was a man


    who liked to cause trouble. It escaped her to remind him.


    Fiona disliked Jayden, but she was aware he was still so young. Could jackie just not let him be?


    “Mother, I’m not here to fight. I’m here to exchange experiences with them!” jackie rubbed his fists and


    walked to one side of the room.


    “Are you sure you want to do this, young man?” sneered of the bodyguards—an American—with a


    condescending smirk. “You have to know that our countries are enemies. Aren’t you afraid that this fight


    will disrupt their peace?” The other party was obviously implying something to jackie.


    “I’m really not afraid of this!” jackie thought about it and signaled them as he added, “After all, you guys


    won’t be able to beat me.”


    Jayden cackled. “You’re really arrogant!” He then turned to Fiona and said, “Auntie, food isn’t served yet.


    This son-inw of yours must be quite a show-off person. This is good, such a person needs to be


    punished so that his arrogant ways can be corrected.”


    Lawrence chimed in with a pleased grin, “What Jayden says makes sense. Let’s just treat this as an


    entertainment program, that they’re entertaining us before our meal. This is quite a good idea!”


    Fiona was at a loss for words upon hearing what the father-and-son duo had to say. She could only offer


    a sheepish smile as she spoke, “Alright, it seems like there’s no other way around it. However, everybody


    needs to be careful. It’s just a test, so don’t go overboard!”


    “Madam, that’d be quite difficult. Your son-inw asked us to attack him altogether; he’s basically


    mocking us!” One of the dark-skinned men walked two steps forward and balled his hands into fists.


    “Still, I know I’ll be able to settle this matter!”


    The man then grinned widely, his pearly white teeth seemingly gleaming. He then rushed forward like a


    panther, and he seemingly blinked rather closely to jackie—fast as lightning—and aimed his punch


    toward jackie.


    “Such speed!” jackie’s expression seemingly morphed into one of surprise at the man’s speed. These


    bodyguards were really strong, and this dark-skinned man’s power was almost the same as ine’s.


    “Are you afraid now, young man?” The ck man in front of him smiled when he saw jackie’s surprised


    look. His fist was just a short distance away from jackie, and he wanted to see if this arrogant young man


    could meet his punch.


    “Your speed really surprised me, but…” jackie curled his hands into fists and made his move speedily.


    His fist met the opponent’s fist in a powerful collision.


    Uprooted, the man zipped through the air andnded on the floor. He felt a sweetness at his throat and


    vomited blood.


    “You’re no match for me!” jackie stood straight and waved his hands at the other bodyguards. “You guys


    cane at me together!”


    Chapter 800


    “Let’s get him! I don’t believe this!” The brawny bodyguards looked at each other before they rushed


    toward jackie.


    Despite their numbers, none of them managed to even graze a strand of jackie’s hair before they fell to


    the ground. The men were either clutching onto their stomach or chest in pain, their faces pale as well.


    Several people moaned in pain as their ribs had been broken.


    Lawrence and Jayden’s face darkened when they saw their bodyguards lying on the floor.


    “A group of useless rubbish. How dare you guys im that you’re mercenaries?” scoffed Jayden as he


    stood up in anger. “You can’t even win over a young man! I don’t understand this!”


    “Young Master, we’re not rubbish. This young man is genuinely too powerful and we can’t beat him,


    honest!” One of the men had his forehead covered in sweat due to pain. “Young Master, my rib is broken!


    I need to go to the hospital!”


    “Get out, all of you! Get out!” Jayden asked his men to go to the hospital with a cold expression on his


    face.


    Fiona’s best friend, Irene chuckled shortly before she smilingly said, “Fiona, this son-inw of yours is


    rather strong. Although he doesn’t have good etiquette, he’s really good at fighting!”


    “He’s quite good! He didn’t waste five years in the army, and I heard that he’s a headmander!” It was


    in to see that Fiona was happy when she heard how Irene praised jackie.


    Jayden sat down angrily and mumbled, “So what if you know how to fight? You’re just a dumb fighter!


    What kind of masters can’t we get if we’re rich? I can even get the number one assassin!”


    “Young Master Watson is really good at this!” jackieughed and sat down casually. “However, that


    barely intimidated me. I wouldn’t be afraid even if you invite the Ten Great Assassins here! Of course,


    you’d have to spend a great amount of money to get them working for you!”


    “ jackie, stop talking nonsense! You can’t make such jokes!” Fiona was startled when she heard what


    jackie said. Who did he think the Ten Great Assassins were? Every member was frighteningly powerful


    and deadly; jackie could not make such jokes even if it was for a bluff.


    jackie looked at Fiona and said with a smile, “Mother, I’m telling the truth. I’m not joking!”


    “Well, well! You’re quite arrogant when you speak!” Jaydenughed before pretending to be a


    gentleman. “You don’t need to worry about it. We Watson family aren’t petty people, and we won’t send


    assassins to kill you just because you hit our bodyguards just now. Apart from that, we don’t need to get


    assassins if we really want to kill you. There are many masters in our Watson family, and those who you


    just fought were bodyguards of lower ranks. You’ve seen nothing yet!”


    “The dishes and wine have been served, so let’s eat,” came Lawrence’s announcement. “Young jackie is


    indeed rather skilled in fighting. After all, it’s quite difficult for him to fight so many bodyguards alone. His


    five years spent in the army weren’t wasted after all!”
