Staring at the corpse of Jackson lying lifeless beyond the gates, the crowd is shocked to their bones. If it was a mere guard, they wouldn't be too shocked but this is Jackson Steele, a powerful force to be reckoned with and second only to Vincy!This is a man whom not even a thousand martial artists dared to challenge, yet he met his demise with just a single kick from Jordan. The sheer simplicity of it leaves them so dumbfounded that their jaws are practically dropping to the floor.Nevertheless, as they contemplate the situation more deeply, they gradually come to the understanding that there's not much reason for them to be overly astonished.After all, it has been confirmed that Jordan managed to kill Jackson's Master, Vincy, a formidable figure who was leagues ahead of Jackson himself in terms of strength. While they remain clueless about the specifics of how Jordan managed to accomplish such a feat, the undeniable truth is that he did. Yet, even though they logically understand
At this moment, Director Bill's smugness has entirely vanished, leaving him looking utterly pitiful as he continues to bang his head on the tiled floor, enduring the heart-wrenching pain that keeps shooting through him with each bang.Naturally, most people might feel an immediate sense of compassion watching the old man beg so pathetically and injure himself and might even be inclined to forgive him and help him to his feet.But Jordan is no saint. Director Bill had ordered his guards to kill him. Even if he cuts off his hands to show how greatly remorseful he is, he wouldn't let him off.He merely slips his hands into his pockets as he watches Director Bill's dramatic display. Since the old man wants to continue banging his head, he is content to let him do so until he tires himself out.And thus, for several minutes, Director Bill continues banging his head on the floor and pleading until he can bear it no longer. Clearly, he had realized that Jordan not only allowed him to continu
"Chairman Grey!" Seeing the old man who just barged in, Director Bill's eyes light up as if he has found his long awaiting savior and he hurriedly stands and scurries to him."He is Chairman Grey? The esteemed CEO of RoyalView Medical Spa?" Director Bill's statement causes a commotion in the ER, with the crowd whispering and casting scrupulous glances at the old man.Chairman Grey, however, doesn't bother about the whispers or Director Bill's acknowledgment as his cold gaze sweeps around, taking in the gruesome scene; the twenty-five decapitated guards strewn on the floor, the over a thousand guards injured and groaning, and the head guard who is still stuck between the wall. His eyes narrow slightly as he directs a question to the room at large, "What's going on here?""We encountered a troublemaker, Chairman Grey," Director Bill hastily responds, offering an explanation even though he wasn't directly asked."Oh?" Chairman Grey's gaze drops down to Director Bill, and his brows narrow
Following Director Bill's outstretched finger to see the so-called troublemaker, Chairman Grey is rather shocked to discover that he is just a young man in his twenties, lacking any extraordinary physical characteristics like bulging muscles and all that. When Director Bill told him about someone who killed twenty-five of his guards and incapacitated the rest, he had expected a much more formidable figure, someone at least on par with the two figures behind him.The stark contrast between his initial expectations and the reality before him leaves him wondering just how remarkably powerful a young man in his twenties must be to achieve such a feat."And wait," his body suddenly tenses up as he keenly takes in Jordan's appearance, an ominous premonition rising in his heart. The young man has his back turned, preventing him from seeing his face, but there's something about that posture that he feels he's encountered before. The posture is just incredibly familiar."Could he really be t
BOOM!The unexpected sight of Chairman Grey kneeling and bowing to Jordan leaves the onlookers in absolute shock, their mouths agape and their eyes as wide as saucers. Who is Chairman Grey?The esteemed CEO of RoyalView Medical Spa, a figure who commands respect and holds immense power. It is safe to say that he is a figure who people like them can only bow to and dream of cozying up to. But now, this formidable figure is kneeling and showing deference to a young man in his twenties. And not just any young man, but Jordan! Jordan freaking Callahan!If it were Director Bill kneeling and bowing, they might rationalize it, saying, "Well, he's still a director." But this is Chairman Grey!It is simply unfathomable.Even though they are staring at the scene with their own eyes, they still can't believe it.This is because, apart from Chairman Grey's formidable identity, Jordan had wreaked havoc in his hospital and as such, they expected him to be seeking revenge or taking a more confront
Facing Jordan's cold gaze, Director Bill involuntarily shudders and steps back. But realizing he is afraid of a mere punk when his boss is here, he instantly regrets his actions and hollers, "Punk, don't think you are anything because Chairman Grey knelt and bowed to you! I'm sure that must have been a mistake! You are the one dying!"In Director Bill's mind, Jordan is merely Isabella Caden's ex-husband, not some big shot, and as such, his boss must have mistaken him for someone else!"Chairman Grey," he implores anxiously. "I know you hardly make mistakes, but I'm certain you've made one this time."That punk is definitely not who you think he is. In any case, quickly order your underlings to kill him before he gets up to any more nonsense! I can't die! I really can't! Please!" At the end of his statement, he begins pleading, his desperation evident.Chairman Grey frowns. He might be old, but he can still see clearly, so how can it be that he has mistaken Jordan's identity?"You old
"Chairman Grey, my friend has sustained significant injuries to her face. Kindly arrange for your best doctors to attend to her," having killed Director Bill and exerted his revenge, Jordan doesn't idle around as he glances at Chairman Grey and says, his tone seemingly indifferent as if he had not just mercilessly taken a life.Without waiting for the old man's response, he calmly walks up to Natasha, who appears to have slept through the entire ordeal and is still in a peaceful slumber, and gently lifts her into his arms, walking into the ward a few steps away.As Chairman Grey watches Jordan's departing figure, he is overwhelmed with a deep sense of chagrin. Jordan had shown him no face at all, ruthlessly taking the life of his director right before his very eyes, and yet he doesn't seem to be the least bit perturbed by his actions. He even had the guts to request the assistance of the hospital's best doctors for his injured friend. How can any man be so callous and indifferent?He
In the ward...Jordan sits calmly before Natasha, his hand tightly entwined as he looks down at her; at her battered face. At this moment, he is so overwhelmed with guilt as he believes all this happened because of him.He had been too negligent that he didn't consider the lengths to which someone might go for love.If only he paid more attention to her safety, who would have dared kidnap her, let alone inflict these injuries on her?"My Lord," the door to the ward suddenly swings open, and Chairman Grey waltzes in. "I've arranged for three of our best doctors; they'll be here any minute," he announces with a respectful bow."Mmm," Jordan merely hums, not sparing him a glance."Chairman Grey, you called for us," soon enough, just as Chairman Grey stated, two middle-aged doctors suddenly walk into the ward, Doctor Sean surprisingly missing from their midst."Yes, I did," Chairman Grey responds as he turns his attention to them, his brow furrowing as he notices one person is missing from
