THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE ASTONISHING BRAVERY
The following day, Ana woke up in his old home, the De’luka mansion. Ricotchetting her eyes. Memories lingered—a combo of both good and bad memories. She had slept off there with her entire crew to prepare for the burial.“Are you ready? You can stay back if you want. I will bring the body here.” Jordan said, giving her a morning hug after strolling into her room.Ana sampled everything that Jordan’s body was bleeding on her—the solace, the heat, the comfort. Everything. She appreciated his comfort and his gesture. She then pulled away, and Jordan kept her hands in his. “I appreciate this, Jordan, but I have to do this.”“Are you really sure?” Jordan emphasized."Come on, Jordan! Do I look like I am showing signs of a mental breakdown or something? I am perfect. Besides, you and I know the story behind this man. I'm all good.” She said.Jordan nodded his head. “Alright. I never said that you were about to break down, by the way. I know you are strong. Even more than I am.”‘Yeah, yeah
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE GREAT ENDING OF A NOBODY
Three months later!Anticipation and enthusiasm surrounded the grand opening ceremony as it took place. In addition to officially opening The Rivers Group of Martial Arts' newest location, the ribbon-cutting ceremony signified the end of a journey that had passed through darkness and emerged into the light of mutual empowerment and progress.Jordan stood proudly in front of the assembly and spoke to them. "Our slogan stands true today as it did when we started: The Rivers Group of Martial Arts is not just a school to teach martial arts, but a community for empowerment and growth, both as a community and individually." His statements reverberated with authenticity, capturing the spirit of their group's objective."And so, ladies and gentlemen, here I present to you the last, as of now, branch of The Rivers Group of Martial Arts." Jordan handed the scissors to Ana, symbolizing the transition from the shadows of the past to the bright possibilities of the future. As Ana cut the ribbon, t
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS BETRAYAL
“You are what?” Jordan screeched with disbelief and denial, gawking intently at his wife. He found her statement laughable, but something was holding him back from flaring with laughter. Something he could not decipher, but it was so unnerving.“You heard me loud and clear, Jordan, unless you have grown deaf over the years! Or what damn part of ‘I am pregnant’ don't you understand? It's just a three simple words statement, for crying out loud!” Diana, his wife retorted with fury, glaring at him with contempt.Jordan was still battling with the contradicting sentiments of this being true. He knew from the look of his wife that she was not joking, but he was also certain of the impossibility of what Diana was ranting about. “But, how? No! You simply can not be pregnant, Diana, and you and I can attest to that!” He spoke softly, still trying to scan for any proof of uncertainty in Diana’s eyes who didn't even blink.At this point, Jordan was pulled out of his confusion by his mother-in
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE MAGIC
Jordan dropped his bag to the ground, taking a turn and running in the west direction, where the cry of a girl was coming from. A few meters ahead, he collided with a poor girl. She was running out of breath from running and losing the energy to escape her tormentors. A group of six men were after her, and they slowed down when they saw Jordan. But they kept their eyes on their target.She was a beautiful girl. Her eyes sparkled even in the darkness. Compared to that arrogant, cheating bitch he was married to until a few minutes ago, this mysterious girl seemed like an angel.Jordan nudged the poor girl toward his back, shielding her. The men sneered, scoffing at Jordan.“Get out of our way, buddy, unless you want to get hurt!”’ One bearded guy said, pointing at Jordan. “What do you want from her? What has she done?” Jordan challenged, holding the poor girl's hand as she clenched his shirt as if he were her black messiah. “Please, mister, don't let them get to me. Please!” The poor
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS NO LONGER A NOBODY
In what felt like a dream, Jordan envisioned himself seated on the throne of the Rivers clan. It seemed to be an ancient seat crafted for an emperor. With a battalion of devotees bowing before him. He saw himself practicing martial arts, and his familiarity with the techniques was amazing. He also saw himself describing some medicines to some people with health issues. On top of that, he also felt the voice of the gods speaking to him. Guiding him and warning him. The dream was getting intense, causing his head to throb badly.When he peeled his eyes open, he was greeted by the blinding rays of the morning sun. He was unconscious the whole night. He stopped for a moment to have a recap of what he was dreaming about. If there was any connection between him and the emperor he saw in that dream. But then, his head banged with the same raw memories. Everything became so clear. There indeed was a connection between him and this mysterious family. He was the emperor he saw in the dream. I
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS FINALLY FREE
“Such guts for someone who equals the dirt he is standing on.” Edwin sneered, browsing Jordan’s entire being with scorn and disgust- like his entire being smothered him.Jordan’s rage was stroking him pretty wildly. He scorned how the fool was looking at him as if he were some stinking trash. But he held his cool tight.“You should learn how to be humble. That is what cheap and pathetic people like you do.” Edwin mocked again, while Jordan kept clenching his fists to suppress his wrath from bursting out.‘These two fools do not seem to be in a hurry to enter the court and leave me alone, huh.’ Jordan thought. Maybe because they wanted to humiliate him even more.“I suggest you stop yapping and let us just end this now, Mr. Rich Man! Your lover here,” Jordan fixed his glare at Diana, who squirmed in return, “is dying to start a family with you. You don’t want to keep her waiting any longer, do you?” He then shifted his gaze to Edwin, leaving Diana puzzled.Diana was finding it arduous
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE GIRL HE SAVED
Astonishingly, the girl that Jordan had rescued the previous night was no ordinary girl. She was from an extremely affluent family, and so, finding someone was as easy as blinking an eye. After conducting an emergency search, she was able to learn of Jordan’s whereabouts. And like she had promised last night before she ran away for her safety, she came for her savior.Jordan’s facial idiom was no different from that of the couple beside him as he watched the girl approach. He was in awe as he watched the girl match toward him. Her face was glowing more in broad daylight than it was in the dark. What moved him more was the fact that the girl looked for him. He didn't know she would ever find him even if she searched for him. Hell! He did not even anticipate she would bother looking for him. They say, do good and go your way, and that is what he had done. He did not expect anything in return. Knowing that he rescued someone from danger was more than enough for him.But here she was.
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS DINNER INVITE
Jordan was itching to break the fool's bones, but his sixth royal sense soothed him. They were in the wrong place. The court was not a place he wanted to start a fight. Diana could not crack the situation. Her bafflement was not so much banked in why her husband could not slap the girl and avenge her, but in how he seemed fearful of the girl all of a sudden. She could not just figure out her lover’s behavior. And his next action left her in more bewilderment.Edwin bowed to the girl. His eyes could not even meet hers. His actions portrayed fear and respect, and the sincerity of his actions was portrayed in his words.“I am so sorry, Miss Anna. Please forgive my actions. I hadn't recognized you. Please, I am so sorry.” His head was still hunched down as he spoke.Anna, on the other hand, did not even care to spare the fool a glance. Her gaze was fixed on Jordan, and her grin shone over the whole place. Once Jordan caught her staring, her smile widened shyly. She cleared her throat b

BAD NEWS
“I guess so. We can all say that.” The officer affirmed.A few chatters filled the room for a long time. Who would have thought that a once vigilante group could be saluted by the government, huh?Jordan cleared his voice, speaking to the officer, although everyone was keen. “Whether the government recognizes me or not, I don’t care. But I know how much you loved your job. I also know that you like it, and it is my hope that you have no regrets whatsoever for those few days that you and your boys have been members of this family. I want you to know that I cannot hold you back. If they want to give you back your position, please don’t feel obliged to remain with us. You deserve that position.”Officer Adamson looked at Jordan with so much appreciation and gratitude. “Regrets? What is there to regret about being part of this great community, Jordan? I felt honored that I was lucky to have a chance to meet you all and to partake in your just missions. But, like you said, I feel the need

THE PROGRESS OF THE GROUP
The group, which had now become a family, pushed itself into the audacious project of opening martial arts schools in the following weeks, their unwavering dedication transforming dreams into concrete accomplishments. With incredible vigor, resolve, and a sense of purpose that permeated each movement they took, Jordan's vision came to life in that brightly illuminated room.Securing a central location for their flagship martial arts school was the crew's initial action. They converted a large warehouse, which had previously served as a symbol of corruption, into a center for empowerment, training, and discipline after extensive reconnaissance and planning sessions. When they held their first courses, the sound of kicks and swishing-trained moves filled the air inside those walls.With her excellent organizational abilities, Sarah oversaw the administrative side, making sure that all licenses, registrations, and marketing campaigns were completed. She proved to be the mainstay of the o

THE FATE OF THE GROUP
As the soft hues of morning began to seep through the windows, the room, once ablaze with celebration, now held a serene stillness. Jordan and his crew, draped in the comforting shadows of a night well spent, found themselves resting on makeshift seats, their weariness a testament to the battles fought and won.The sunlight painted a gentle tableau, revealing the subtle lines of fatigue etched on each face. Yet, amidst the quietude, a sense of unity prevailed. Jordan, observing the camaraderie that had evolved in the past hours, felt a renewed purpose bubbling within him. This wasn't just a crew; they were a band of individuals who had weathered storms together and emerged stronger.Looking at Major, he knew that he had a question to tackle. They looked somehow confused about what to do next, and he knew he owed them an explanation, at least for the sake of their sanity. He remembered how he and Major’s group became participants. Initially, they were just his hired bodyguards, but ove

CELEBRATING VICTORY
‘‘Huuu!” Noises crackled in the house of Jordan as the members heaved out their tiredness, sampled in the aura of victory, and rested their weapons on the tables as they took their seats. It was almost 4 in the morning, but the night echoed with sounds for the next few hours. Their faces were smeared with soot and sweat from the tough battle they had fought and, by God’s grace, won.“This calls for a big celebration!” Jordan spoke, pulling Ana beside him as he rested on his signature seat of authority. “Mariela? Could you make us something delicious for us?”Mariela nodded in agreement. “After emerging triumphant, you all deserve a special treat. I had made arrangements before we left. I will be back in a sec.”They all made sweet sounds of appreciation that sent Mariela off to the kitchen with a smile on her face.Soon enough, she was making hasty back-and-forth tours to and from the kitchen with trays of mouthwatering shawarmas. Then the drinks followed, and everyone wanted nothing

THE SENSE OF VICTORY
As Jordan and his group crouched in the shadows, staring at the far-off warehouse where the covert conflict had taken place, the night sky hung thick with an oppressive still. An overwhelming feeling of unease permeated the air as they anticipated reaching the pinnacle of their unwavering quest for justice.Abruptly, a menacing gleam illuminated the horizon, illuminating Jordan's team members' features with elongated shadows. From the warehouse, flames shot up, licking the darkness with an abysmal embrace. The blast echoed through the still air like a mighty cry of vengeance.Jordan clinched his hands and tensed his jaw, watching the conflagration with a bleak determination mixed with joy. The warehouse collapsed under the weight of its own secrets; it had previously been a center of corruption and dishonesty. His transgressors were being burned into charred souls. He could imagine them weeping in pain as the wildfire mercilessly devoured them.Jordan whispered, "That's it," his voice

NO DEAL
“Names? What names, Jordan?” Mr. Elias asked in confusion.Jordan, with a steely gaze, had no time to waste. He needed to get to the heart of the issue as fast as he could. His voice was firm as he spoke. "The names of your supporters. The high-ranking officials who are protecting."The alliance members exchanged uneasy glances, a palpable scent of impending doom slapping at their nostrils. How could they comply with Jordan's request? Revealing the identities of those wielding formidable power felt like signing their own death warrants. And death was what they were trying to escape by all means. How could they negotiate for survival and sell themselves to the devil in the same way?“Jordan, please understand that we cannot do that. It is too dangerous for us. Besides, why do you want the names?” Mr. Elias replied, attempting to mask the tension in his voice.Jordan's eyes narrowed, his frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "I need those names to expose the corruption that is eatin

NEGOTIATIONS
Jordan looked at Elias and his meanness. He could read through their minds. He knew exactly what they wanted. And he loved their stupidity.Elias gazed at Jordan and spoke with a stern voice without a single tinge of wavering in it. “You are wiser than this, Jordan. I know you know what I mean.”Jordan shook his head and read a memo that said, ‘I know, but I want to hear that crap from your stinking mouth itself’! “No! Please enlighten me, Elias! I might be getting carried away.” Jodan spoke.Elias even managed to smirk, even though he could not tell whether Jordan was toying with his mind or not. He spoke. "Jordan, all I am suggesting is that we can settle this amicably. You don’t have to betray your noble parents by becoming a bloody murderer. Well, if it is revenge that you want, your parents are gone, and you can’t bring them back. Don’t even kill us. I have got something that will surely interest you."Jordan, unmoved, eyed Elias with a steely gaze, his expression portraying no
