"Grandmother, I've signed it." Zoey broke the silence, calling Mabel's attention to herself.She was still a little bit shocked, though the shock didn't prevent her from signing the contract."Since you've signed it, I would take the contract to Skylines Technologies to finalize everything." Mabel offered, taking the contract from the table and standing up."But...""You don't have to worry, I'll represent you this time around." Mabel shook her head interrupting Zoey."Also, it's just past eight; I suggest you resume to the company and start working on the product you signed the contract for; I'm afraid Skyline Technologies would have zero patience to get their products," Mabel said."Yes grandmother, I'll go to the company today." Zoey agreed and stood up.After all, she was ready to go out, so there was no need for her to change. Also, just as her grandmother had said, they had to start with the production of the product right away.The company was a technological company, and they
"Mia, how have you been?" Jordan asked, his voice calm.Mia happened not to be on the battlefield when he was leaving, so he didn't mind the way she was talking.Besides, he was not too strict and they all knew that as long as they followed his rules, there was not going to be a problem."Mia, I need you to come to North Hampton." Jordan went directly to the point, not willing to waste any more time."Yes sir!" Mia answered, not daring to refute Jordan."I'll be giving you a month to round up everything and pass your tasks to someone else, as you'll be staying in North Hampton for quite a while." Jordan continued."Yes, master." Mia didn't say anything and just directly agreed with what Jordan had said.Jordan's authority in the army was absolute, and as long as he issued an order, it was to be followed; otherwise, the person was going to face the consequences.But it was rare for Jordan to give orders, so whenever he did, it was to be followed rather strictly."But master, what am I
"What's going on here?" Azure Dragon muttered, stepping on the brakes and bringing the car to a stop as he approached a long line of traffic. There were many cars and none of them seemed to move. All that could be heard was just the honking of the cars."What's wrong? Why did you stop?" Jordan, who had his eyes closed open, turned to look at Azure Dragon."Master, I think there's an accident up ahead." Azure Dragon explained.He heard some of the drivers discussing it and that the ambulance was yet to arrive which was the real reason for the traffic."Let's go check it out?" Jordan muttered and got down from the car while Azure Dragon followed.Seeing the long line of traffic, Jordan knitted his brows and couldn't help but shake his head as he walked to the front to see what was happening.Soon, he and Azure Dragon arrived at the front. Just right in front was a bridge.At the moment, the bridge was a little bit crowded, right in the middle of the bridge, a truck hanging by the side o
If he was the one, he was not going to be scared of the explosion, after all, it was going to have no effects on him, but this time, there was another life involved.Getting into the car, Azure Dragon raised his legs and kicked the front part of the car that had crushed the old man's legs."Bang!"A loud sound resounded throughout the place and the crowd couldn't help but scream while some covered their eyes since they thought it was the explosion.Looking over, they noticed that the fire had not yet gotten to the car. But just now, the violent kick from Azure Dragon had caused the friction to increase and thus, the fire was only a few seconds away from the car.Azure Dragon couldn't care less and grabbed the old man whose legs had been relieved of the weight, turned around, and jumped away."Boom!"A loud explosion resounded throughout the whole bridge just right after Azure Dragon jumped and the bridge shook a little.Azure Dragon landed a few meters away from the fire and then plac
"Sir, we are at the place." Azure Dragon called out to Jordan as he pulled up in front of a mansion."Are you sure this is the place?" Jordan turned to look at Azure Dragon while he knitted his brows."Yes sir." Azure Dragon nodded, there was an embarrassed smile on his face.After all, he had gotten the venue wrong twice, and he was finally here after he was directed by some people who seemed to know the Johnson family.So he could understand why his master was quite skeptical about being here. But this time around, he was sure that he was in the right place, so he nodded."Alright then, let's go in." Jordan nodded and alighted from the car.Looking at the mansion in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh. This place looked like one of the houses he once owned.Back then, he had many things, but he was sure that the Garrison family would have annexed all of them after they had sent him to prison.Well, he didn't care, it was not like he wanted it again anyway.Walking into the mansi
All the other doctors had a surprised expression on their faces as they looked at Jordan.After all back then in North Hampton, there was no one who didn't know Jordan. Naturally, they knew about his downfall.Now Emma had pointed out that he was the one, the disdain in their hearts was finally revealed, and they all glared at Jordan.Jordan, on the other hand, looked at Emma with an amused expression, wondering what she wanted.He could tell that she was still bitter about the past, but then at the same time, he was sure that she knew the reason he had refused to get married to her.After all, he had once told her the criteria he wanted if she wanted them to be together.But it seemed like she turned a deaf ear to it and did what she wanted, so he wasn't to be blamed."Emma, what I'm doing here is none of your business. You should face what you came to do and stop poking your nose into what's none of your business." Jordan responded with a shrug."How dare you!" Emma flew into a rage
That's because all the doctors you've invited are all a bunch of incapable idiots, so they won't be able to do anything." Jordan muttered loud enough for everyone to hear him and then turned around to look toward the source of the voice and immediately his expression changed.Wasn't this the lady Azure Dragon had saved in the morning? And there was the old man, sitting in a wheelchair while he was being pushed by the lady.This was getting interesting. If that was the case, then Jordan was sure that none of the doctors present would be able to treat the old man.After all, he had seen the old man that morning and had seen through his heart condition.After some thinking, he had decided that the old man's heart condition was not enough to kill him. He was still going to live a normal life.He wasn't even going to call the old man's condition a serious condition; after all, it was just going to take a slap to treat the old man.There was nothing wrong with him and all that was wrong was
Everyone's eyes lit up hearing this and they all turned to look at Jordan. After all, he was the one who had dared to make such an arrogant remark.They were sure that he was doomed since there was no way to treat the old man.They were only going to try, but they couldn't confidently say that they were going to treat the old man. After all, they were sure that the old man had been treated by even more skilled doctors and yet, they were not able to treat him completely."Yeah, I did say that because that's the truth." Jordan shrugged, his tone still arrogant."How dare you say such a thing?" One of the doctors couldn't take it anymore and directly flew into a rage."Do you think a heart condition is something to be taken lightly?" He yelled."If you are to make any mistakes, then you'll be endangering Mr. Simon's life?""Who in hell gave you the effrontery to talk and act this way?""Hades gave it to me," Jordan replied with a sarcastic smirk."If you were not all a bunch of idiots, o
"Jordan, what the heck are you doing here?" Claude yelled, turning to Jordan.He was already annoyed, and there was no one around to take the blame. He couldn't blame his daughter, after all, what had happened was something that was not to be spoken of.Also, he had not noticed Jordan and Azure Dragon right from the start as he was in a panic.If Jordan had not spoken up, he might not have noticed the latter. But since he had already taken notice of him, then it was the best time to pour out his anger.After all, Daniel, whose limbs were broken, was from the Clinton family in Emberton.Though the family was merely a second-tire family and wasn't much of a force when compared to the real powerful families like the Cole family.They were still a force to reckon with in other places. They could easily crush the Garrison family.There was no need to do it themselves as many would be willing to help them do it just to gain their favor.Claude had initially tried to partner with the Clinton
"Isn't that Bryan?" Jordan looked at Amelia with a knitted brow."Yes, he's the one." Amelia nodded, recovering from her initial shock."Then let's go and see what the heck he's yelling about." Jordan stood up and walked toward the door with Azure Dragon following behind."Brother...." Amelia called, not knowing what to say.She knew that Bryan and Jordan were not on good terms. Even before Jordan was sent to prison, they were still on good terms, talking more or less that it was he and her father who were behind the fact that Jordan was sent to prison."What do you want?" Jordan turned to look at Amelia, wondering if she didn't want him to go."I don't think it would be best if we go together, I think I should go back home alone." Amelia thought for a while before finally speaking up."You don't have to worry about anything. I'm not going there to cause any trouble. I just want to make sure that Bryan and the others won't blame you for what happened." Jordan refused.There was no way
"Master," Azure Dragon called, looking at Jordan who was standing in front of the window, looking down at the city below.After they left the hotel, they came to another hotel. At that moment, Amelia was sleeping peacefully on the bed while Jordan and Azure Dragon were waiting for the effect of the Aphrodisiac in her body to subside."Azure Dragon, are you still worried about what we discussed?" Jordan chuckled lightly, Turning to look at Azure Dragon who was standing right beside him."Yes, master." Azure Dragon nodded, he couldn't hide this anymore from Jordan."I just don't want them to attack my mother." He continued."Then you can ask some of the soldiers to come and protect her." Jordan nodded slightly, knowing what Azure Dragon wanted."Also, I was just giving a hypothesis, it won't be that easy for the Shadow Reapers organization to find you since they haven't been able to for over the past years." Jordan continued."You're not in their top priority. So there's no need to get
Inside Room 305 at The Sky Hotel. Amelia moved backwards slowly, her face red, looking much like she was intoxicated.In front of her was a young man with a wide grin on his face. He was a handsome-looking young man, and his well-structured figure would make ladies fall heads over him."Daniel, please stop!" Amelia pleaded, trying to regain her sanity as she looked at the young man."You don't have to resist, my love." The young man grinned wildly, showing his row of white teeth."This...this isn't what we came here to do..." Amelia stuttered, still backing against the wall.She could feel herself slowly losing her sanity as she felt a strange kind of heat spread through her body.The heat was so much that it was threatening to make her remove her clothes."Then what did we come here to do?" Daniel snickered, and a wide smile appeared on his face as he walked slowly toward Amelia."I..." Amelia stuttered, not knowing what to say.Talking too much was making her lose control faster, an
"Master, what was that back there?" Azure Dragon looked at Jordan standing by the car, asking with confusion written all over his face as he walked towards him."Your mother was poisoned," Jordan explained, knitting his brows appearing to be deep in thought."Poisoned?" Azure Dragon froze not understanding what Jordan was talking about.How was his mother poisoned? He just couldn't make any sense out of it.But then he knew that since Jordan had said something like that, then it meant that she was poisoned."I don't understand." Azure Dragon looked at Jordan, hoping he was going to explain more of what he meant to him."What Organization did we happen to encounter last before we came back?" Jordan asked instead."The Shadow Reapers?" Azure Dragon muttered, knitting his brows as he looked at Jordan wondering what the connection behind the question and what he wanted to know was.But he still didn't ask too much and just answered the question."What's their specialty?" Jordan continued
Soon Jordan and Azure Dragon walked into one of the rooms in the mansion.Immediately they walked into the room, the two were hit with the pungent smell of medicines and others.In the center of the room was a large bed. A figure lying on the bed. But the figure looked so skinny that if one didn't look well, they wouldn't know someone was lying on the bed.The only thing sounding in the room were the machines connected to the figure's pause and the rest."Sir, here's the boiled water and towel you asked for." A feminine figure sounded as a figure walked into the room, holding a bowl of hot water and a new towel."Good," Jordan nodded."Place the water on the table and bring an extremely cold water in another bowl; also, bring another empty bowl," Jordan instructed."Go do as he has instructed." Azure Dragon nodded at the girl who was staring at Jordan in shock."Azure Dragon, disconnect the machines and remove all sorts of things connected to her body." Jordan turned to Azure Dragon a
(The Next Day)"This is the place brother-in-law," Sarah said, a hint of excitement could be felt in her voice as the car came to a stop.Jordan looked at the building and alighted from the car with Sarah who had a smile on her face."Don't you want to choose another place to work at?" Jordan muttered, his lips twitching as he looked at Sarah, wondering why she was going to want to work at this company of all places.He wouldn't have been bothered if it were other companies, but no, it was this one. The company the Garrison family had taken away from him.This company was the root of his problem. Though he wouldn't say it was the cause of his problem, rather, the Garrison family were the greedy ones.They wanted control of the company and wanted to take it away from him. Many times before the incident, his foster father had requested that he transfer the company to the family, as a payback to what they had done for him.After all, he was just an orphan they had picked up on the street
"Sister, I'm going to bed." Sarah sighed and stood up from the dining, walking into the room.The night had been quite a memorable one, reuniting with her sister and brother-in-law.Since their parents had lost their lives in an accident, Zoey had been the one taking care of her. She had been gone for about five years, so somehow, she missed her sister."Alright, you should go get some rest." Zoey nodded while flashing a smile at Sarah.Though she was smiling, there was a hint of sadness written all over her face, which made Jordan, who had been observing her, frown slightly."Is there anything wrong? You look a bit unhappy?" Jordan questioned right after Sarah's figure disappeared into the room."We ran into a bit of problems at the company today, but I should be able to solve it." Zoey sighed, not wanting to hide anything from Jordan.She didn't intend to tell him, but since he had noticed, there was no point hiding it from him.After all, he was the one who helped her get back to t
(A Few Hours Later)"Master, Mia, and the others should be able to make it to North Hampton by next week." Azure Dragon turned to look at Jordan who had his head on the seat with his eyes closed."Mmmmm.." Jordan nodded as if he was in a deep sleep.Azure Dragon had a frown on his face seeing this, but he didn't say anything. He didn't know why, but since they left the medicine store, Jordan had been in deep thought.Now, it was already evening and he was still that way. So it made him wonder what the heck was wrong with his master."Did you find out who that old man is?" Jordan suddenly opened his eyes and turned to Azure Dragon looking at the latter."Huh?" Azure Dragon froze upon hearing what Jordan said.His master had not instructed him to do anything, so he was quite shocked when he heard that."Master." Azure Dragon called, knitting his brows as he slowly pressed on the brakes of the car, bringing it to a halt."You don't have to stop the car, I'm fine." Jordan's eyes flashed o
