(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." He added. Zoey looked at Jordan skeptically, but in the end, she had no other choice but to agree. He wasn't going to listen to her anyway, so she just hoped that he got the job. After all, he just used up his chance of bouncing back to help her. "I'll go first." She said and then turned around leaving the house. Jordan watched with a smile as she disappeared into this distance. After making sure that she was gone, he took out his phone and called Azure Dragon. In no time, a car pulled up in front of the house and Jordan hopped into the car. "Where are we going, sir?" Azure Dragon asked immediately Jordan got into the car. "Take me to Skyline Technologies, I want to go and see that old man." Jordan chuckled and then rested his head on the chair. "Should I call the old man and tell him we are coming?" Azure Dragon asked. "Nope, there's no need for that." Jordan shook his head. After all, he was just going there for his wife's sake and to tell David that he should give his wife a contract no matter what her proposal was. ------- "I'm honored to have sir at my place." David, an old man in his late sixties, bowed to Jordan as the latter sat on the chair. "You don't have to be so courteous; I only came to request a favor from you." Jordan laughed and crossed his legs while Azure Dragon stood by his side respectfully. Immediately, David breathed a sigh of relief hearing what Jordan said. But at the same time, he was still feeling uneasy. He didn't know what kind of request Jordan was about to make. What if it was one that he was not able to do? After all, Jordan was someone who had great powers, so it would be very dangerous to refuse him. He could destroy his family without needing to lift a hand, so he was very scared and didn't even know what to do next. He could only look at Jordan and hoped that what the latter was going to ask for was going to be mild. "Well, my wife would come to your company with a contract proposal." Jordan continued, afraid that he was going to give the other party a heart attack if he didn't say what he wanted. The other party was too much of a coward, so there was no need to keep him in the dark. Well, it was not his fault; after all, his reputation was not one that they could mess with. "You are to order your men to take a look at the contract and even if they are not to read it, they should pretend as though they read it and ask some questions before you do the needful," Jordan instructed. "Yes sir." David nodded almost immediately, at the same time sucking in a breath of cold air. After all, it was just a contract. Also, he was going to make sure to take in who the God of war's wife was. "How about your son?" Jordan chuckled as he stood up from where he was sitting. "He's out of the Country," David replied. He would be the happiest man in the world if his son could achieve even half of what Jordan had achieved. Others might not know, but he knew just how powerful Jordan was and the soldiers under him were just as powerful. "Don't make the contract too easy for her and don't make it too hard for her," Jordan added as he left the office with Azure Dragon. "Sir, where are we going now?" Azure Dragon asked, looking at Jordan. "I'll wait for a call from my wife; let's just go to a random restaurant and wait," Jordan replied after watching Zoey walk into Skyline Technologies. "Also, while we are at it, tell Phantom No.1 and Phantom No.5 to return to North Hampton. Also, ask them to come with two people who are in the Human Emperor realm.". Jordan was known as the God of war. But it was all just a name; he was far more powerful than a God of war; as to how powerful he was, no one knew about it. Azure Dragon by his side was also far more powerful than that, and Phantom No.1 and five, whom he had asked Azure Dragon to tell them to come to the God of War realm. The lowest realm was the Qi and Bone Realm, then it was followed by the Earth Realm, then the Human King Realm. In all of Jordan's five regiments that he created, the weakest was an Earth Realm warrior. All of his men were formidable, and even the higher-ups of the country had to take him seriously even though he was not going to attack the country. They wouldn't have been afraid if they had full control of the army, but they didn't. Jordan's five regiments contained over Five hundred men per regiment, and all of them listened to only him. The rest were not too loyal to Jordan. Though they knew that Jordan wouldn't start a revolution if he were to, there was no way about it, so they were very respectful of him. Besides, Jordan didn't seem to care so they knew they were all safe."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
"Jordan....." Zoey froze as she stuttered, turning around to look at the figure that just called her name.Turning around, she came face to face with Jordan, who was standing not too far away from her, a smile on his face as he stared at her."Zoey....""Jordan, I'm no longer your wife, I'm about to get married, so you should leave!" Zoey's voice suddenly turned cold, cutting Jordan off."But....""There's no but, after what you did five years ago, there's no way I'll accept someone like you." Zoey continued coldly, forcing back the tears threatening to drop from her eyes."You should know better than anyone back then that I was innocent, I wouldn't do such a thing." Jordan sighed, looking at Zoey, whose eyes were red."I...." Zoey stuttered, wanting to say something, but the tears in her eyes threatened to overflood her face.She knew well that Jordan was innocent and was just a victim of a devious plot from her family and in-laws, but there was nothing she could do about it."Jordan
"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." Jorda
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
