The room is instantly filled with stunned silence, everyone gaping at Jordan as if he'd uttered the most unthinkable blasphemy. "Did he... did he just say that?" One of the guards mutters under his breath, but it is still loud enough for everyone to hear."He did," another replies, his face twisted in disbelief. "He's either brave or foolish to mutter those delusional words.""I'd say both," a third guard says, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. "He's got more guts than anyone I've ever met.""Hmph! So what if he's got guts? Does he know who is standing in front of him?" The guard sways his gaze to Jordan. "Punk, do you know who is standing in front of you?""God Zeus?" Jordan asks, his voice filled with mirth."I can see you don't know what you are into just yet, which is why you still have the time to mess around! Asshole, that is Hades!""Oh, I was so close to getting the name," Jordan sighs. "But then," he twists his head. "Apart from Hades, the brother of God Zeus, the
"Ah!" The young lady lets out a bloodcurdling scream, her body shaking violently. Suddenly, she feels the contents of her stomach rising in her throat and can't stop herself from vomiting, her face flustered."How dare you kill my men?!" Recovering from the shock of watching his men's heads plummet south and their bodies north, Black Dragon snarls, his cheeks pink with wrath."What?" Jordan arches his brows at him. "Are you angry I slaughtered your men like the goats they were? Didn't you hear your dog say he and his comrades were going to kill me? What should I have done after he made such an insulting statement? Crawl and kiss their boots and beg them to let me off? Hmph! Don't be ridiculous!""You are biting off more than you can chew!" Black Dragon roars, the temperature of the room plummeting drastically! I am Black Dragon, and nobody dares to challenge me!""Hahaha, what a dumb line," Jordan chuckles and rolls his eyes. "Look around you, man, I've killed over a hundred and fifty
"Who I am doesn't matter," Jordan retorts flatly. "What matters is that you have managed to offend me and you have to die!""No, you can't kill me!" Black Dragon shrieks in terror as he drops to the floor with a dull thud, his body drenched in sweat."Are you commanding me or begging?""Uhm," Black Dragon nibbles on his lower lip, not saying anything. Obviously, he is begging, but he is Black Dragon, how can he possibly admit to such a thing?His ego is so high to the heavens to stomach such an embarrassment."I see, you can die with your high ego," Jordan suddenly appears in front of him and raises his foot to stomp on his head."Stop!" At this moment, a sudden voice roars, and several guards rush into the office. "Get away from our boss or you will die a horrific death!" One of them threatens cold-bloodedly."Fuck off, you dogs," Jordan hisses and waves his hand. Instantly, the heads of the twenty guards sever from their necks and drop to the floor respectively, their decapitated bo
Lorenzo's underlings and the young lady are shocked out of their wits at the sudden turn of events. This is a young man, with nothing extraordinary about him, yet Lorenzo, the prestigious Mafia boss is being subservient to him and pleading. It is too surreal. If not that they are seeing this with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it could ever happen."My Lord, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you! Please forgive me!" Black Dragon darts to Jordan, falls at his feet, and clasps his leg in desperation, begging."So you know to beg now? Weren't you all arrogant earlier? Hmph! You can shove your apology up your ass!" Jordan scowls, kicks his hands off his feet, turns and walks back to his chair, sits down, and crosses his leg. "You should leave now," he casts a glance at the young lady. "And make sure whatever you saw here today dies with you.""I promise, my lips are forever sealed, Mr. Callahan. Thank you so much," the young lady bows to him, feeling like she has just been saved
In an all-furnished office, Natasha sits at her desk, her fingers tapping restlessly on the desk, and her brows creased in worry. All day, she has not been able to do anything.Her mind has relentlessly been on Jordan who left since 8 a.m. It is almost noon, and he still has not returned yet. She knows he told her to call the cops if he doesn't come back by noon, but she doesn't think she can wait any longer. What kind of debt is he getting that it is taking him forever? Could something have happened to him? No, she can't sit here any longer.She slams her laptop shut, stands up and briskly walks out of her office, heading towards Benjamin's. In a matter of a few minutes, she arrives in front of his office, and without bothering to knock, pushes open the door and waltzes in.Benjamin's brows crease into a frown at the unsolicited invasion and he lifts his gaze about to snap at whoever it is, but his words die in his mouth at the sight of who it is.Natasha stands in front of him, her
"H-huh?" Natasha stammers, her brows furrowing in confusion. "What's wrong? Why wouldn't you hug me?"For hours, she had been worried sick, even breaking down in tears over the thought that he was dead, only for him to suddenly come back, safe and sound, and she had been so overjoyed to see him that she'd wanted to give him a hug. But instead of opening his arms to her, he'd backed away, looking at her with nothing but disgust in his eyes. She doesn't understand why he would do that to her. It is heartbreaking, to say the least."W... why wouldn't you hug me?" Not being able to keep her raging emotions in check, she repeats, her voice somber. She looks at him with such intensity that it is as if she can see right through him, into the very depths of his soul. "Why would you turn away from me like that?""Why wouldn't I after what I just saw you doing?" Jordan blurts, his disgust clear in his tone. "I know it's none of my business, but there are plenty of guys out there..."If you need
Sitting behind his desk and relentlessly tapping his foot on the floor, Benjamin appears to be lost in thought. He can't seem to wrap his head around how a mere pauper like Jordan could be able to successfully get the money when more than twenty people supposedly better than him in every way had tried and failed and even lost their lives in the process.When he sent Jordan on that task, he had been confident that he would die in the hands of Black Dragon like the others did, but not only did the lad come back alive, he also completed the task.He was never bluffing when he said he was going to come back with the money. How surreal that is.He should be happy that at least the debt has been finally cleared after ages, but he is not in the least, instead, he is boiling in rage. Jordan was supposed to die!The punk is a pain in his ass!A few minutes ago, he was having the best time of his life with Natasha but Jordan had to arrive at that moment and ruin the beautiful moment! It is cle
"Jordan, you are finally here!" As Jordan drops down in front of Gourmet Garden, a five-star restaurant and one of the very best in the county, he is met with Daisy, who appears to have been waiting for him. "For a moment back there, I thought you wouldn't be coming," she batters her lashes at him.Jordan chuckles and playfully pokes her cheek. "I told you I would come, didn't I? Anyway, I thought you said we are only having a meal with your former classmates, why then are you dressed like you are meeting with a governor?" He teases."You are so annoying," Daisy shoots him a glare and chuckles. "I didn't mean to dress this high-end though, but my classmates can be... yunno," she trails off, not bothering to finish the statement. "C'mon, let's head inside. My classmates are waiting." Without waiting for his response, she loops her arm through his and they glide towards the entrance in perfect tandem, like two swans gliding across a lake."Look at that beautiful damsel, buds! Gosh, My
