“I am sorry I didn’t think of that at first.” Mr Jonathan explained.Lia felt a bit relieved with the idea of the two men not leaving. She was so apprehensive of her safety. She just didn’t want to stop them or vex them.“So, what do we do? Those men will kill us the minute they find us.” Jonathan directed the question to Jordan.Jordan paused to think, while the two individuals waited patiently for his decision. They trusted him with their lives.Jordan thought and thought. He knew his martial arts skills would be of great use, but he knew it would be difficult to fight a whole gang all at the same time. He needed a good plan.“It is me that they want, so we will lure them into a trap but outside of this neighborhood.” Jordan stated, puzzling Jonathan and Liya even more.Lure them? Did he want to trick them?“What you are thinking is dangerous. How will you trap them? And what will you do? You can’t fight them.” Liya said. She was getting so worried by Jordan’s hazardous plan.“You w

“Okay. I will grant you your last wish on this world! But it has to be only one request.” Martin stated, still washed-up in the muddiness of the man before him.Jordan took a minute to think. He needed to buy time for his back-up to be alive and he needed to be extremely careful. He needed to outsmart those people.“If you do not speak in a minute, I will forget about your damn last-moment request and rip your stupid brains apart!” Martin said when Jordan took too long to speak.He knew the bullet was an easy way compared to what he had in store for the man, but his impatience had conjured his gun to Jordan’s forehead. His goons behind him also cocked their guns and pointed them at Jordan.Jordan found them pathetically lame. He was all alone, yet they could not even attack him with bare hands. He didn’t know how he could fight all of them if they chose that option, but at least they would portray a flyspeck bit of manliness.“I want to die a heroic death, and I am sure you want to be

In a moment, a girl ran into Jordan’s arms, encompassing him into a hug that left Jordan’s companions jaw-dropped. They remembered him saying that he had just divorced, and then there was a bimbo clinging to him like a long-lost lover. They wondered who she was, especially Liya. She could not help the tinge of jealousy that molded within her.Ana, on the other hand, had not rested the entire night anticipating seeing her savior again. She was over the moon after finding him again, but the reason behind their re-encounter was weighing heavily on her every sense.Her father, after paying off the damages that Jordan had inflicted on Edwin at the hotel, had taken the inaugural mandate to teach Jordan a lesson. Having noticed the profound fondness that his adopted daughter had developed for Jordan, he had decided to use her to lure Jordan into his vicious trap. And Ana, compelled by the delight of seeing Jordan again and the fear of going against her parents, had to agree.Jordan pulled th

An open gun wound was traceable on her belly. She was bleeding a lot.Jordan placed his two fingers on her nose. His heart degaged a little when he felt the slight ticklish sensation of her labored breathing. He took her left hand and felt the pulse. It was there, but a faint one too, but it was enough to relax everyone.“She is breathing.” He announced, and even the policemen signed in relief.“They are all dead.” A policeman reported after checking all the five bodies of the gunmen.“We were still in the area when we heard the gunshot and decided to check where it came from. Are you all okay?” The officer who had given Jordan the right to kill Martin if he ever escaped asked.The officer was assessing Jordan and wondering who he really was. It seemed like doom was on his trail. He had just fought a gang, and another one attacked them right after. Too much of a coincidence.“We are all okay. Thank you, officer.” Jordan replied. “But she needs immediate help.” He added as he looked at

Just when Jordan was about to roar at Mr De’Luka, the police officer who had helped them arrived. He walked over to Mr De’Luka who had his boduguards standing a safe distance behind him, and greeted him with honor and courtesy.“Greetings, Mr De’Luka! I am the one who called you. We found your details on your daughter’s documents. She has just been operated on.” The policeman explained.The ice-coated man nodded his head slightly, taking off his eyes from Jordan for a second. “Thank you, officer. And, about those bastards who almost killed my daughter? Did you catch them?” Mr De’Luka asked, throwing a glance and Jordan again.He wondered whether Jordan had thrown him under the bus. He was not so apprehensive though, because he had ways of covering his crimes, but he wished the man had remained mute. He did not want to be embroiled in such a scandal that would taint his icon as the bona fide business guru that he had painted himself as in the country.Jordan felt suffocated by the ma
