Jayson glanced at Queen York before turning to face Elena. "Just a minute," he said, excusing himself, and stepped outside with her.Elena's voice was cold as she spoke. "Come with me, Jayson." She began walking away, and Jayson followed closely behind, their destination becoming clear as they headed towards the cabin area. Elena opened the door to their cabin and went inside, waiting for Jayson to join her.Jayson's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he entered the cabin. He couldn't help but wonder why Elena had brought him back to their suite. "Why are we here?" he asked, giving her a questioning look.Elena's expression remained earnest as she spoke, her words carrying a sense of sincerity. "There's no need for you to be at the pool party. Everyone there is from the aristocratic family of Jade City. I don't want others to look down on you, so it's better if you stay here," she explained, as though she was doing him a favour.Jayson immediately sensed that Elena's words were insinc
ThCaleb's expression grew stormy with anger as he heard Jayson's words. He responded with a curse, "Fuck! Do you think this is some kind of wet market? If you're broke, just admit it instead of trying to belittle me. If you bow down to me and acknowledge your poverty, I might consider canceling the challenge."The man in charge of the table tennis board maintained an impassive face and tossed a booklet towards Jayson, which he caught.As Jayson flipped through the pages, his face contorted with confusion. The rules seemed to spin in his head, leaving him dizzy. Suddenly, a bizarre sensation overcame him, as if a surge of information had been injected into his brain. He felt an inexplicable connection to the paddle in his hand and the tennis table before him.When he glanced at the table tennis board, he was astonished to see the figure of the Old Taoist Fairy standing upon it. The Old Taoist fairy locked eyes with Jayson and uttered, "Brat, make good use of it," before vanishing."Cal
Elena's expression dropped, but she quickly mustered a forced smile and awkwardly uttered, "I'm not pregnant; I've always been taking the morning pills."Gabby's face turned grave as he gently held Elena's hands and said, "Elena, when the time comes for us to have children, you will be the mother of our kids. I promise to invest an additional $100,000 in your family's Eastern project."Unbeknownst to them, Jayson had been discreetly recording the entire scene on his phone. Just as Gabby leaned in to capture Elena's lips, Jayson's boiling anger and jealousy reached its peak. He charged forward, his fist clenched, and violently struck Gabby's face.Gabby staggered backward, a trickle of blood forming at the corners of his mouth. Elena let out a scream, her senses snapping back as she stared at their assailant in disbelief. "Jayson?" she mumbled, her voice filled with disbelief.Jayson's other clenched arm swung towards Gabby's face as he shouted in fury, "How many times do I have to tel
Jayson let out a weary sigh, his frustration evident in his words as he responded to the Old Taoist Fairy's question. "I wish I could divorce her, but it's not that simple. The Wilson family has thrown their support behind her, and they won't allow it. Trying to initiate a divorce right now would only be seen as a childish tantrum by Elena."The Old Taoist Fairy nodded knowingly, having observed the workings of this world during his short time with Jayson. He understood how power and influence often dictated the course of events, just like in the cultivator world, where the strong ruled over the weak and determined the laws."Well, Brat, if you were a cultivator, you could divorce her without any interference from the Wilson family," the Old Taoist Fairy suggested mischievously, a playful smile on his face.Jayson rolled his eyes, dismissing the idea outright. "I have no desire to become a cultivator," he replied firmly.As his stomach grumbled, reminding him of his hunger, Jayson tur
Elena trembled in terror as she found herself staring down the barrel of a gun. The cold, harsh reality of the weapon's power to end her life with a single pull of the trigger sent shivers down her spine. Her face drained of colour, she stammered, "I... I don't know.""Do you want to die?" Kingston Black bellowed, his voice filled with menace, as he aimed the gun directly at Elena.Tears streamed down her smooth cheeks, her fear consuming her completely. "I haven't seen him since we were brought here," Elena managed to explain, her words stumbling out in a jumble.A deep furrow formed on Kingston Black's brow as he glanced at his men, issuing a command for them to search. They promptly departed, diligently scouring the area. After a few tense minutes, they returned with a report."We've searched everywhere, but we couldn't find him," one of Kingston Black's men reported.Kingston Black's face darkened, his anger evident. He seized the ship's communication device and issued a chilling
The man in the suit, his anxiety palpable, was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated that the room he desired to transfer ownership of would suddenly become an item up for auction.Jayson shot a quick glance at Caleb, disappointed that Caleb hadn't learned his lesson and continued to pester him relentlessly. Yet Caleb, undeterred, persisted in his annoying behaviour.Observing Jayson's silence, Caleb grew bolder. He cast a disdainful glance in Jayson's direction before turning his attention to the man in the suit and boldly declared, "I will pay you triple the amount you originally booked the room for. Just give it to me."Jayson quickly responded, "Do you even know the actual cost of the room? Are you certain you can afford it?"Eager to expedite the situation, the anxious man in the suit decided to speak up, "I paid $100,000 to reserve the room."Jayson, with a mocking expression, turned to Caleb and taunted, "Are you absolutely certain you have $300,000 to offer him?"Caleb's expressi
Jayson was determined to tell the truth, but as he glanced around and noticed the intimidating presence of Boss Chain's men, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead, he let out a forced laugh and replied, "Sure, I used to live in a rural area before my luck turned around."Humble and Stanley patted Jayson on the back, trying to boost his confidence, before handing him a hunting gun. As Jayson furrowed his eyebrows, he couldn't help but wonder if things were getting more serious than he had anticipated. After all, he had only gone rabbit hunting once before. Surely, it couldn't be as intense as this, right?"Alright, everyone, listen up! The rules are simple: the person with the highest kill count wins the prize. But be cautious, we have lions, tigers, and a variety of wild animals out there. Don't venture too deep into the forest, and under no circumstances should you approach or touch the wild animals," a tall man, who appeared to be in charge of the hunting game, declared loudly
Jayson turned to Elena, his eyes filled with disappointment. But before he could utter a word, Elena enveloped him in a tight embrace. Queen York, her gaze lowered, turned on her heel and walked away with the men she brought to rescue Jayson. Jayson attempted to extricate himself from Elena's grasp so he could express his gratitude to the Queen, but she refused to let go. It was only after Queen had departed that Elena finally released her hold on Jayson.Realization dawned on Jayson, causing him to grit his teeth in anger. "Elena, you saw my missed call, didn't you?" he asked through clenched teeth.Elena responded nonchalantly, "I did. Come with me." She firmly grabbed his wrist and pulled him along.Jayson's face darkened, but he took a deep breath and followed her. As they passed through a gate, Jayson finally understood why he hadn't encountered anyone from Jade City. He was in the outer part of the resort, while they were in the inner part of the resort separated by a fence. Co
