2024-09-16 10:07:33"Huh!"
A gasp spread amongst the crowd as Jordan and Zoey walked into the hall with Jordan holding Zoey's hands. "Who's holding the bride's hands?" "I don't know him, I've never seen him before!" "He looked wretched; how could the Clarkson Family allow someone like him into the banquet!" Voices came from all around as the guests looked at Jordan and Zoey walking up to the altar. "Sorry, everyone, but this wedding has been canceled; my wife won't be marrying some rich punk!" Jordan suddenly stopped, turned around, and announced, facing the crowd. Everyone froze hearing what Jordan said as they couldn't believe their ears. Did that man just call Zoey his wife? Was he insane? Wasn't he afraid of what the Young Master of the Winston Family was going to do? "Jordan, what do you think you're doing!" Grandmother panted as she rushed into the place. "As I've said, everyone should please take their leave after taking the food and drinks provided; the wedding has been canceled." Jordan merely glanced at Mabel, before repeating what he had just said. "Isn't that Zoey's husband who was sent to prison five years ago!" "Yeah, he's the one. He seems to be out of prison already!" "If I was Zoey, I would immediately divorce him on the spot. What can a criminal do?" Voices came from all over, the guests discussing silently. What happened five years ago was not a secret so it was natural that they all knew about it. "What the heck is happening here? Did someone just cancel my wedding ceremony?" An arrogant voice sounded just as the guests were discussing amongst themselves; a tall, lanky figure dressed in a suit walked into the hall with a frown on his face. Immediately, everywhere fell silent, and all eyes turned to Jordan, who was still holding Zoey's hands. "Who are you?" The figure growled walking towards Jordan and Zoey. "Who do you think I am?" Jordan chuckled slightly. "Are you blind, or are you dumb enough not to see that I'm holding her hands?" Jordan continued with a sneer. "Huh?" Gasps spread across the room at Jordan's savage comment and everyone turned to look at the figure. Even Zoey's face changed as she gripped Jordan's hands even tighter. "Care to explain what's happening here?" The figure growled, turning to Mabel, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper. "There's no need to explain what's happening to you, are you freaking blind not to see what's happening, or were you deaf when I said that my wife is not getting married to you." Jordan sneered, interrupting Grandmother, who was about to talk. "Ohh! So you're Jordan, Zoey's ex-husband. A worthless criminal who just came out of prison." The young man, Larry sneered, his mouth curling up into a snicker. "I didn't know that you'd been released. Tell me what prison was like?" He taunted. "I could send you there if you want to visit it so badly." Jordan shrugged, not bothered by Larry's taunting. "You? Send me to prison?" Larry burst out into laughter, pointing at Jordan. "Anyways, that's not my problem." He continued and then turned to Mabel. "What the heck is that criminal doing here?" "I..." Mabel stuttered, wanting to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth. She couldn't tell Larry that she tried to get Jordan to leave, but he was not going to leave, which now resulted in this. The Clarkson had already lost a lot of face, and admitting to the fact was going to make them lose more face. "Are you freaking deaf, or how many times do you want me to repeat myself and tell you that my wife won't be getting married to you." Jordan broke the silence and walked toward Larry. "How dare you!" Larry immediately burst out into a rage pointing at Jordan. "The last person who had the guts to point their fingers at is Hades, it seems like you want to join him." Jordan threatened a powerful aura gushed out of his body surrounding Larry. "How dare...." "Shut up!" Jordan interrupted, glaring at Larry who was now shivering. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and it was as if there was a huge mountain of pressure down on him, preventing him from moving. Jordan glanced at him for a while, then shook his head and turned around, walking back towards his wife. Immediately he left, the aura pressing down on Larry disappeared and the latter fell to the floor heavily. "How dare you humiliate me, you criminal!" Larry yelled after he came back to his senses, pointing at Jordan. "You fell 'cause you're weak and pathetic; don't blame others for your misfortune." Jordan shrugged as he said in a firm voice. "How dare you!" Larry lost it all and then turned to face Mabel, who was watching from the side. Everyone at the banquet was stunned as they didn't know what was going on. All they saw was Jordan staring at Larry then after a while, he turned around and left, and the latter fell to the floor. It was quite obvious that he didn't do anything to the latter, yet he had claimed that he humiliated him. "If you don't look for a way to dispose of him in three days and get her into my bed, then you can forget about your family having a footing in North Hampton." Larry threatened. "I give you just three days to do it, if not, then you can get ready to follow your ancestors wherever they are right now." He continued and then turned around stomping out of the hall. "What are you all waiting for? The main character of the event has left." Jordan spoke in a deep voice, bringing back everyone to their senses. Immediately, all the guests stood up and left hurriedly, afraid they were going to cause a misunderstanding and be caught up in the fight between the two families. There was no way the Clarkson family would be able to win, so it was better for them to leave and not cause a misunderstanding.

The banquet hall was silent, leaving only the members of the Clarkson family all staring at each other in awe, not knowing what to say.Initially, today was supposed to be a happy day for them. Zoey was getting married to Larry, and then, with Larry's help, they would be able to partner with Winston's family.From there, they would be able to move up the ranks and advance to a third-tier family, but Jordan suddenly came back and destroyed everything.Now they were at the risk of losing everything in three days if they didn't get Zoey to divorce Jordan."Zoey, what the heck were you thinking, listening to him, do you know the consequences of what you've done?" Mark bellowed, breaking the silence."Yes, what were you even thinking, you'd better hurry up and divorce that criminal." The others started to voice out, glaring at Zoey who was holding Jordan's arms."Aren't you even ashamed of staying with someone who tried to sleep with your husband, talk more or less about calling that perso

"Jordan, what do you think you're saying?" Mark was the first to recover, and immediately, he burst out into a fist of laughter. The others also burst out laughing looking at Jordan, disdain written all over their faces. "If it were not for your dishonest acts, do you think we would all be here?" Mark sneered as he stopped laughing. "Besides, if it was you in the past who said this, then I would have believed it without a doubt." "Who the hell do you think you are right now?" He continued with a sneer. "You're just a criminal, so you'd better shut the heck up and not interfere in what you're not supposed to." "I...." Jordan wanted to say something, but he felt a soft tug from Zoey and thus didn't say anything again. "Fine, I'll get the contract in three days." Zoey agreed. "I have your divorce papers ready, get ready to sign them in three days." Mark sneered. He firmly believed that there was no way Zoey was going to be able to get the contract, so he was not even thinking ab

(The Next Day) "Are you sure I'll be able to get the contract?" Zoey looked at Jordan skeptically. "You don't have to worry, dear wifey. I called the owner of Skyline Technologies last night, and he promised to take a look into your proposal and that if it's good, he'll give you a contract." Jordan smiled, reassuring his wife. "Okay." Zoey nodded, still not feeling comfortable. "Or do you want a good luck kiss?" Jordan chuckled, moving closer to her. "No, don't touch me." Zoey giggled and ran out of the house. "By the way, I'll be going out to look for a job." Jordan smiled as he said, looking at Zoey, who was preparing to go. "How about you take some rest first? You just came back, and I don't think any company would be willing to employ you." Zoey said, worry written all over her face. "You don't have to worry about matters like that, it's insignificant." Jordan smiled. "Besides, it'll be enough if I could just land the role of a security guard, so it shouldn't be too hard.

"What are you both doing here?" Mark jeered, seeing Jordan and Zoey walk into the Villa. "Did you give up so soon and want a divorce?" He continued in a mocking voice. "That would be a good thing anyway, so just come and sign the papers I have already prepared it." He then proceeded to pull out some papers like he had known that Zoey was going to come. "Sign here Zoey." Mark continued, his voice sounding rather enthusiastic as if he had just won a bet. "Hurry up and sign it so that you will be able to get yourself free of this filth." "Let me tell you, I've already asked around, there's no way any company would be willing to accept someone like him, he's nothing more than a rapist." Zoey just glanced at Mark and didn't say anything. She was more afraid that Jordan wouldn't be able to stand it. Glancing at Jordan, she saw that his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have noticed Mark, who was spewing nonsense. This made her sigh in relief. After getting to the company th
Legend Of The War God Get Her To Sign It
"Mother, this calls for a Celebration." Mark grinned as he couldn't believe his eyes while going through the papers. Mabel nodded in agreement, she too was not expecting Zoey to be able to secure a contract and was surprised. "I bet it must be some kind of dumb luck." Mark grinned and stood up. He was ready to go and show off the contract. Now, the Clarkson family was going to become invincible; they were directly affiliated with a first-tier company, and this was a huge boost. As long as they maintained the contract, even a first-tier family wouldn't be willing to offend them; after all, Skyline Technologies was one of the most powerful companies in the whole of North Hampton. "Excuse me, may I come in." A deep male voice came just as Mark was about to leave. "Yes come in," Mark yelled, not caring about who might be at the door. He was very happy and thus wouldn't give a damn at the moment. The next moment, a tall lanky figure walked into the sitting room holding a briefcase w

"That bitch!" Mark cursed immediately as Benson walked out of the house. "I should have known that something was wrong, there's no way she would have the guts to go to the company if she was not in a relationship with that man." He continued. Mabel nodded and didn't say anything. She, too, also felt this way. But what happened had already happened, and there was no way around it; all they could do was to make sure that Zoey came back to sign the contract. She couldn't think of going back to call the other party and was extremely disgusted with the thought, but there was nothing she was going to be able to do about it. They couldn't afford to pay the price for breaching the contract and thus could only do what the other party wanted. "Hurry up and call Zoey," Mabel commanded. They were going to have no other choice now that Benson had said that she had to be the one who was going to sign the contract. Mark nodded and brought out his phone to call Zoey. Dialing her number, it ran

"Didn't I tell you that they'll be here soon?" Jordan looked at Zoey, a smile crept onto his face."But..."Zoey stuttered not knowing what to say. Though she didn't know why her uncle was angry, at least Jordan was right, he had come back, but what was she going to do?"Bang!"Another loud hit came from the door followed by Mark's angry roar."Zoey, I know you're in there; how dare you ignore me; get the heck out right now!"Jordan narrowed his brows and walked towards the door. He already knew what Mark wanted, but if they couldn't come and ask nicely, then there was no way he was going to allow Zoey to sign the contract."What the heck do you think you're doing?" Jordan growled immediately as he opened the door."Are you trying to pull down the door, or what the heck is wrong with that pea-sized brain of yours?""You..." Mark gritted his teeth pointing at Jordan as he descended into a rage."I didn't come here for you. Get the heck out of my way." He calmed down a bit, glared at J

(The Next Day)"Jordan, I've prepared some documents; I will go look for a job today," Zoey said, looking at Jordan who was still all relaxed on the sofa."Why do you have to look for a Job?" Jordan narrowed his eyes looking at Zoey.Though he knew that her family had taken away the company from her after the incident five years ago, he planned to help her get it back, so there was no way he was going to let her work."I don't have a job and you don't have a job. Do you want us to starve to death?" Zoey rolled her eyes at Jordan walking towards the doorShe had already thought about it the night before and had already decided that she was going to get a job.After she needed to support Jordan. Though she knew that he must have started to plan how he was going to rise once again, she knew she had to support him.She believed that since he had done it once, he would be able to do it again. Also, she was feeling a little bit guilty.Jordan sighed looking at Zoey. At first, he wanted to s

"Master, what do you plan on doing to the company?" Azure Dragon inquired as Jordan placed Amelia on the bed.Mia had driven him to the house she bought under Jordan's command. Everything needed in the house was already there.Thunder rumbled in the sky while lightning flashed. It was evident that it would rain anytime soon, but the three didn't seem to care about it.The soldiers had flattened the Garrison's family villa and had gone back under Azure's Dragon command. Jordan had finally exerted his revenge on the Garrison family. He had taken back what they took from him. At the moment, he felt as though a knot in his heart had been untied, now he was free.As for Amelia, he would make sure to take good care of her. He didn't care about what was going to become of Claude and Bryan. Judging from what he displayed tonight, those families wouldn't let them leave.They would want to curry favor with him, so there was a chance they might help him with the matter of the two."Don't change
Brother, Please Spare Them
"What do you two have to say?" Jordan's gaze turned cold as he turned to Bryan and Claude.The two men swallowed, sweat covering their faces not knowing what else to do.The one person who could save them had been scared away. What the heck were they going to do?Looking around, Claude saw Amelia sitting watching the scene with a rather confused expression. Instantly, his eyes lit up, and he rushed towards her, grabbing her leg."Amelia, please plead with your brother on our behalf; we have learned our lesson." Claude shook Amelia looking into her eyes."Yes, please, plead with Jordan for us. You're the only one who can save us right now. After all, he listens to you," Bryan nodded, staring at Amelia.If one were to take a look at the two men at that moment, they would feel a great deal of pity for them. Claude seemed to have aged a lot more. All of his hair turned white in an instant.Bryan was no better; he had already wet his pants multiple times and was stinking, but who cares?Wh
Let's Go
In less than a minute, the banquet of the Garrison family, which was full, was instantly cleared, leaving Amiela and Andrew, who were sitting together.Then, Bryan and Claude who were pleading with Jordan. Also, the figure who was sitting at the corner.Even the other Family members of the Garrison family fled in terror. At that moment, they didn't consider themselves as a member of the Garrison family.After all, the father and Son had managed to incur the wrath of the God of war. No one in this world would be able to save them. So why put their lives in danger?Jordan glanced at Andrew and then in a particular direction before finally looking back at the father and son who were pleading with him."He's Worthy of being called the God of war." The figure in the corner nodded, feeling a bit surprised Jordan noticed him.He was not shocked when Mia and Azure Dragon didn't notice him. Though he couldn't see through their realms, he could tell they were much weaker than he was.As for Jor
Crashing The Banquet
"Greetings God of War!" The soldiers who had been standing motionlessly also went on their knees to greet Jordan."Huh?" At this point, everyone's eyes were wide open. They couldn't understand what was going on.Initially, none of them had ever seen the God of war. So when Azure Dragon walked in alongside Mia, they thought he was the one.At the same time, Azure Dragon's entrance left them speechless. But seeing him bow to Jordan, they felt as though their hearts had been placed into their mouths.If they were to talk, they would end up injuring themselves. The only thing they could do was to have their mouths open so they wouldn't bite their hearts."Sir... What are you saying?" Bryan immediately hurried over, looking at Azure Dragon who still had his head bowed before Jordan."He's just a useless criminal, how can he be the God of war." Bryan continued as he tried to flatter."Yes, he's just trash whom we picked up by the roadside; he's not the God of war.." Claude hurriedly chipped
You Chose Death
Walking into the banquet was Azure Dragon emitting a powerful aura. By his side was Mia who was also emitting a powerful aura. Axure Dragon glanced at Claude and Bryan, then turned away, not even nodding his head to acknowledge their greetings. After all, he hated the two to the core. He knew what had happened to his master was all ocherested by these two. He wanted nothing but to remove their heads at once. "Greetings God of war." The guests greeted seeing Azure Dragon and Mia step into the banquet. Azure Dragon swept his gaze at the guest before finally settling it on Andrew. For a moment, a murderous aura surged but it was quickly concealed. He couldn't act rashly, at least not until Jordan arrived. What Jordan wanted was for Claude and his son to admit to their crimes, so he didn't appear as the God of war. He let Azure Dragon take his place while Mia escorted him. That way he would come later on. With Claude believing Azure Dragon was the God of war and that he was on his si
Celebration
"Toast, to the Garrison family!" Claude stood up raising his wine cup toasting the guests. It was already time for the banquet. Everyone the Garrison family invited had come already. The Garrison family were using the space right outside the Villa making it an open banquet. The sun was already down. Dark clouds covered the sky making the atmosphere perfect for an open banquet. Everyone around smiled, raising their wine cup to take the toast from the head of the Garrison family. "My family has worked hard to get to where we are, all thanks to my son Bryan." Claude continued, a wide smile on his face. The guests stared at each other before nodding. Though they all knew what had happened in the past, since the old man of the Garrison family was not talking about it, they were in no place to talk about it. Also, the banquet today was not just a banquet. It was a show by the Garrison family to the other families in North Hampton. "Also, today, I would like to announce the ma

(Two Days Later)"Master, the Garrison family are organizing a banquet." Azure Dragon passed Jordan an invitation card sent to him by the Garrison family.He was the closest to the God of war, so they could only send the invitation to him.Also, they didn't even know Jordan, else they would have invited him to the banquet."What is the banquet about?" Jordan asked, his voice cold as his gaze landed on the invitation in Azure Dragon's hand."I'm not sure. But rumors have it that they were able to get a partnership with the Cole family in Emberton, so they are celebrating it." Azure Dragon explained, his voice also turning cold at the mention of the Cloe family."By the way, what's today?" Jordan inquired, changing the topic."It's been a week since we came back from the battlefield. Also, today is the day you gave to the Garrison family to surrender to you." Azure Dragon replied."Have the Garrison family shown signs of repentance or remorse for what they did?" Jordan continued with hi
Sorry, I Have Something To Do
"What are you talking about?" Mark froze for a moment before finally coming back to his senses and staring fiercely at Jordan."What do you think I'm saying huh?" Jordan's mouth curled up into a mocking smile upon hearing what the latter said."Jordan, stop acting all secretive. What the heck are you talking about?" Mark yelled, not wanting to give in to Jordan's mysterious aura."You should be asking yourself that." Jordan shrugged."Niece, you've seen what I'm talking about. Is this whom you are trying to give up a blissful future for?" Mark mocked, turning to Zoey while pointing at Jordan."As long as you marry Young Master Larry, then I can assure you that no one in North Hampton would dare to look down on you.""If Larry can make the entire city respect her. Then I can make the entire World Bow to her." Jordan said, his expression turning serious."Hehehehe!" Mark burst out into laughter."You're quite funny, you know." He managed to say amidst his laughter before turning back to
Aren't You Just Trying To Cover Up
"Zoey, tell me what you used the money for?" An arrogant male voice came from within, making Jordan, who was about to push open the door, stop on his track."I might be willing to beg my mother to pardon you if you speak up, otherwise, don't blame me." The voice continued.Dark lines appeared on Jordan's face hearing this. He could easily tell who it was. What the heck was Mark doing at his house?It seemed like he had to teach him a lesson. He was yet to learn his lessons. Also, he was sure that the idiot was involved in the fund's embezzlement; it was just that he was not sure how he was involved in it."Uncle, you should believe me, I didn't know how the money disappeared out of the company's account." Zoey's weak voice sounded, trying to defend herself.But it was evident that Mark was not going to believe her as his mocking voice came right afterward,"You want me to believe you didn't embezzle the fund?" He scoffed. Though Jordan couldn't see his expression, he could already tel
