"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
"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
"Welcome Home!"Voices echoed throughout the airport, armed men stood in rows beside a helicopter that had just arrived.The airport had been cleared, and only the voices of these armed men could be heard as they looked at the Young man who had just alighted from the plane with respect."God of war!"The men echoed once again, their voices filled with respect and they fell to their knees.That was the God of war of Erudia. The Youngest God of war in history.His power was said to be unmatched and unparalleled. Once, he'd inflict a crushing defeat on the strongest battalions of twenty countries, he was an overbearing and formidable man.It was said that he created the five great War Regiments, each Regiment consisting of more than five hundred men.The strength of these regiments was strong enough to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies and they had never been defeated.Once they head out, they would always crush their enemies, earning them the title, Death Walker. As a result, n
"Yes that's me, aren't you all happy to see me." A smile appeared on Jordan's face as he looked at the shocked expression on the family's face."Brother!" A yell came as a figure ran towards Jordan hugging him tightly."Amelia, how have you been?” Jordan chuckled, lightly patting the figure's head.She was the second and last child of the Garrison family and also the only one who treated Jordan well. As a result, they were very close.She was never in support of what her parents did to Jordan, but there was nothing she could do about it."Jordan, what are you doing here?" The head of the Garrison's family, Claude, stood up looking at Jordan."Aren't I allowed to come back?" Jordan asked with a smile."You're a disgrace to the Garrison family, we've already expelled you and You've lost your footing here in North Hampton.” Sneered Claude."You low life, do you even know what shame the Garrison family had to endure because of what you did!” Claude continued."And now you dared to come ba
