_Uncle, I have kept to my promise. I kept your family safe for the past 4 years and eleven months, with one month to go._
Jaxon thought silently as he slowly moved towards his room, ignoring Weiwei Xing who was still yelling. Reaching his room, Jaxon threw the bloodstained broken bottles into the wastebasket and headed to the toilet to wash his blood soak hands with an indifferent expression. It was like the wounds were not even a big issue to him. Who was he? He used to be a god of war, leading hundreds and thousands of soldiers into battles! He used to lead one of the best legions hidden from the world, operating in the darkness! His legion was called the Ghost Legion! "I have endured so much to this point but it ends now!" Jaxon thought with anger as he lifted his head and gazed at his reflection in the mirror. Following that, he went and lay down on the bed. He wasn't going to eat with his 'wife and mother as his mother does not feed him, rather she always makes sure to throw the leftover to starve Jaxon which seems to not work. Vrooom Not more than 20 minutes after he lay on the bed, the sound of a car echoes from their house garage, waking the light sleeper called Jaxon who quickly opens his curtain and peeps out of the window. Looking at the Truck which sped out of the garage with his wife driving it, Jaxon felt slightly suspicious as he remembered when he caught her crying. "Is she in trouble?" He muttered as he quickly grabbed his phone and dialled a number, as soon as the receiver pucked, he quickly spoke, "Hello, it is me, Jaxon. I need your help quickly. I will be sending you a phone number, help me track it within the next 2 minutes... Two minutes is too little? Fine! 3 minutes! In three minutes I want her location!" **** Royal Stardom Club Within 2 minutes Jaxon was able to get the information regarding where Diana had gone to. Royal Stardom Club is one of the exclusive clubs in town, frequent by most of the big wigs and politicians as it offers some mature stuff which Jaxon disdains. He felt confused as to the reason why Diana would come to this club, nevertheless, he strolled in, passing the guards who threw him a look of disdain which he ignored. Finally reaching the fourth floor, Jaxon spots Diana with 5 men dressed in suits standing at a door to which he halts and listens to her words. "Is the issue resolved yet, Shadrach?" Diana asked a man standing close to her to which he shook his head in disapproval and replied. "No Ma'am, no matter how we spoke to him, he refused, insisting that either you come or else it might take him a month to be able to solve it. He says with your help he will be able to solve it easily." Shadrach replied with a sad tone. "Sigh, Mr Thompson is clearly messing with us, for crying out loud why will it take him a month to gather the..." "Ah, Mrs Diana is here. After inviting you more than 7 times you finally come. Follow me, my boss is waiting for you in the exclusive private room." A man who came out from one of the rooms says in a respectful voice but there was disdain in it. "Zhang Jiang! Don't take me for a fool, I know you people have what we need but you are keeping it away! You should know I have the contract both of our companies signed and if I exposed it, you people wouldn't like what is coming for you!" Diana let out angrily as she swept her cold gaze at the young cocky man. "Hahaha, I know that Mrs Diana. The boss doesn't mind as he can afford the money but you on the other hand," Zhang Jiang Pau's d as his lips curly into a faint smirk, "will you be able to afford the money for breaching your own contract with the Macedon family?" Hearing those words made Diana's face turn pale, she was well aware of the consequence of breaching the contract with the Macedon family which was currently the biggest in their state. Diana runs a small estate business and was lucky to win a chance to cooperate with them, now if she breaches the contract, the consequence is unimaginable. "Don't worry, the boss can help you," Zhang Jiang says in a cocky tone as he looked at Diana trembling in anger with satisfaction in his eyes. Just when Zhang Jiang turned to go back to the room he spotted Jaxon and couldn't help but halt, "How come you allowed your useless leech husband to follow you?" "Huh?" Diana was confused as she subconsciously turned around as soon as she saw Jaxon, she felt annoyed and couldn't help but yell, "Y-you! How dare you follow me?" "I followed because I was worried about you. You left in haste and I thought you were in danger." Jaxon spoke out as he looked at the man who utter rubbish about him with indifference. "Your useless worrying wouldn't help me! Get the hell out of here and GI back home." Diana says with coldness in her tone. "Hahahaha," Zhang Jiang burst out laughing as he heard those words, "It seems there might be a couple's fight between you both but it is understandable. A pig can never afford a peacock." Zhang Jiang says in disdain while looking at Jaxon. _Sigh, wish the remaining month will finish in no time._ Jaxon thought, he had long lost any firm of pity for the wicked mother and her arrogant daughter and was just waiting for the month to finish in order to leave. Jaxon watched as his wife entered a room followed by Zhang Jiang while the other men stood outside like guards, His eyes narrowed as he felt something amiss. **** Meanwhile inside the VIP room with a red glamorous carpet on the floor with different sorts of exotic drinks neatly arranged on the table which was complemented by the faint sound of music, a man with a big pot belly and tattoos on his face could be seen sitting on the couch with three young beautiful women dressed in revealing clothes by his sides. Both his hands were restless as they moved about grouping different parts of the women, making them release light moans. Suddenly, Zhang Jiang enters with a look of flatter and says, "Boss, Diana is outside waiting for you, should I call her in?" He asked as his eyes couldn't help but look at those women, making his Adam's apple tremble as he gulped his saliva. Hearing those words, the man's eyes lit up as he excitedly said, "Great job Zhang. It has been hard on you. Here, you can rake the three women and go have fun for now." "Ah, thank you, boss! You are truly deserving of your title." Zhang Jiang praised but was waved away by the boss who sat cross leg on the couch. Shortly after he and the ladies left, Diana stepped in. "Miss Diana welcome. I never expected you to..." "Don't talk nonsense!" Diana cut him angrily, "How much money do you want in order to continue providing the needed materials for me?" "Hahaha, I don't need money but I wouldn't mind if you would accompany me for just tonight then I will give you double the materials for free, if not... Oh well, it is scarce in the market and I can not afford it." The boss says in a sad tone. "You useless pig! Even if my company goes bankrupt, destroyed or is framed just having sex with you will save me is the only option, I will rather die than do it!" Hearing those words, the boss's lip slowly curled up in nocking as he looked at Diana and suddenly said, "Mrs Diana you are mistaken. Your option on this was never needed as you are locked in the same room as me." Diana felt cold as her face turned pale, subconsciously she stepped back while stammering, "W-what are you going t-to do?" "Hahaha, I am going to eat you nicely and make you feel the true power of a man, something I am certain your useless husband couldn't do." The Boss says in excitement as he feels all the lust he has about Diana finally bursting open, today is his lucky day!Diana was at a loss at what to do as she was pinned on the bed before she could even run away. Just when she was confused on what to do and lost hope. "Let. Go. Of. My. Wife. Piggy.""Huh?" The boss was startled as he quickly turned around, even Diana who already lose hope turn as soon as she heard that familiar voice.No one knew how or when Jaxon stepped into the room and suddenly he was standing behind the boss and holding him tightly on the suit collar."Huh? It's the useless son-in-law of the Jiang family. I will forgive you for once if you kowtows thrice and slap yourself then head out and close the door, get home and wait! When I am done I will send your wife to you." The boss sneered.Jaxon didn't respond, his serene gaze fixed on the boss, causing the latter's heart to skip a beat. Instead of releasing him, Jaxon tightened his grip on the boss's collar. "You worthless scum!" he growled. "Release me, or you'll..."The boss couldn't finish his threat, as a sudden, powerful f
★★★★"And I will not accept her going after another man while I'm still her husband on paper!" Jaxon retorts coldly. For the first time he opened his mouth and went against his mother-in-law's words which baffled her and Diana.Jaxon wasn't jealous, no, it was far from that. It was his dignity that was on line. Even him felt relieved that the marriage will be ending in a month's time after all he and Diana have no love between them. But, it will be a blow to his pride if Diana was to be with another man while the both of them are still married."You piece of useless piece of human! Did I ask for your opinion?" Weiwei Xing let out harshly at Jaxon, "I am just informing you, you do not have a say in this so sit still and keep your mouth shut!"Jaxon clenched his fist in anger as he heard those words, despite always keeping his cool whenever he always received insults from her but this has reached a part he felt like he wouldn't be able to resist retaliating at her.Just as Jaxon's eyes
"What's with that indifference look of yours?" Diana suddenly found herself annoyed by Jaxon's indifference expression. She originally wanted to thank him for saving her from the hands of the boss, but after seeing such a look she felt provoked, "my grandfather has just undergone a surgery and will be discharged tomorrow evening. So, after tonight's party, I want you to get a gift prepared for when we will be visiting him tomorrow afternoon. Hmph! Also, buy some decent clothes and gifts and don't humiliated me as usual"Slam!Following that, she stomped out of the room, slamming the door and leaving Jaxon speechless.★★★★Diana and her mother, Weiwei Xing first went to the party and Jaxon had to take his bath and wear decent clothes before using a little of the money for a taxi.As soon as he entered the place, he saw that the food was already served._Sigh, useless me isn't worth waiting for._ He mocked himself."Oh, Jaxon is here," one of the people in the VIP room spotted him and s
"Hahaha, not expensive. Just over 6 hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars." Drew said in a casual tone as he brush his head with his hand in a prideful manner."Oh my goodness!""What did I just hear?""6 hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars?!"The women in the room exclaimed as they looked at him with a hint of envy.They felt like they were dreaming, their neighbor son whom was once a cry baby has now soar high and become an upperclassman in the society."Hahaha, nothing big to boast about, aunties. I just own few companies overseas which engage in buying and selling and the rest are for estate marketing," Drew wave his hand humbly, "that is why I said it is not worth mentioning.""Stop being modest. If you are so humble with such amount of wealth then what about us who have nothing?""We will be bootlickers.""No, we will be worse than that.""Hahaha, oh and before I forget. Drew are you married now?" Someone suddenly spoke up.And as if Drew was waiting for those words,
"Even with an opportunity, you still can't appreciate it, truly you are a waste!" The crowd of women immediately start throwing either advices or insults on him as soon as Weiwei Xing cursed him. They suddenly found him full of a fake sense of superiority and pride while he was actually someone who rely on his wife for everything.As Jaxon spoke, Drew maintained his gentle smile, but inwardly, his expression turned colder by the second. If not for Diana's and Weiwei Xing's presence, he wouldn't have hesitated to unleash his wrath on Jaxon for his audacity. People like Jaxon, who were deemed useless in society, had no chance of ever crossing paths with someone like him, and yet, here Jaxon was, meeting him and still behaving with prideful arrogance.Drew's thoughts seethed with contempt, his mind racing with the audacity of Jaxon's words. How dare he question his offer? Didn't he know who he was dealing with? Here is a rewritten version of the text with a more polished tone and no wo
Weiwei Xing, however, noticed Drew's growing jealousy and swiftly intervened to soothe his ego. "Don't mind them, Drew. In a month's time, they'll be divorced anyway. I'm guessing this is Diana's way of paying him back - just one of her smiles can make that fool happy for decades, even in his grave."You don't have to stress yourself, Aunt. He isn't worth getting annoyed over." Drew said, trying to hide his true feelings of jealousy."Truly, I have nothing to worry about. If I had met you four years ago, I would have insisted that my daughter marry you instead of that worthless individual. You, Drew, are the epitome of every girl's dream. So, please, be at peace and observe how I will make my daughter yours within a month," Weiwei Xing said softly, her words dripping with sincerity."Aunt, you've suddenly filled me with joy," Drew replied, a smile spreading across his face. "As a token of gratitude, I'll order the most expensive drink for you, and not just for you, but for that charm
"We have surveillance footage to prove to you that you ordered at your own convenience," the manager calmly stated, his tone firm but polite. He felt disappointed, thinking he had encountered a high-rolling "big fish" customer, but it turned out that Drew was just someone without substantial means trying to show off."I didn't order for—" Drew began, but his words trailed off as he turned to Jaxon with a menacing glare. "Bastard! You knew this was expensive, right?! You're trying to fuckin' set me up, ain't ya?!" he exclaimed, his voice rising in anger.Jaxon responded with a jesting tone, his innocent smile contrasting with Drew's hostility. "Huh? You told me to order whatever I want, right? Also, watch your language. You definitely don't want to show a bad image before your fans of elderly women, right?" he said, his words dripping with sarcasm."You knew it was expensive and still went ahead and ordered it?" one of the women asked, her voice filled with disbelief. "Not only are yo
The manager took the card calmly, his expression unreadable, and handed it to the waitress to make the payment. But as she checked Jaxon's account balance, her face suddenly contorted in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief which she immediately hide. She whispered something in the manager's ear, and his face turned ashen, his eyes flashing with surprise before he quickly regained his composure."Ladies and gentlemen, it appears there is a problem here," the manager announced, his voice laced with a hint of embarrassment.As soon as he spoke, Drew and the housewives shook their heads in unison, their faces filled with smugness and anticipation. They knew Jaxon's bluff was about to be exposed, and they couldn't wait to see him humiliated."Hahaha, as expected, I knew he was bluffing," Drew said with a smirk, interrupting the manager before he could finish speaking. He turned to Diana with a puffed-out chest and said, "Don't worry, even if your lousy boastful husband can't pay for the di
