No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 851
One of the people instinctively raised his hands to form a gesture of salute.
“It’s our honor to meet you, God of War!”
Everyone followed suit, and jackie had no choice but to return the salute as well as his voice blended into theirs.
“Please, you flatter me!”
Fernando chuckled and walked over.
A seven-star King of War could barely hold his curiosity, thus he turned to ask Joseph, “Sir Smith, why did you choose to jackie
and Selena’s wedding banquet? Did you two know each other before?”
Everyone turned their heads when they heard that very question. They were curious as to why Joseph Smith attended the
banquet as well.
Joseph gave a wan smile. Fortunately, Lana had told them to think of a good excuse before they came so that they would be
prepared should they be asked such questions. Joseph smiled and said, “I had a near-death experience not long after I was
deployed on the battlefield, but jackie, with all his proficient medical knowledge, saved me. He’s practically my savior, thus it’s
only right that I attend his banquet!”
jackie was dumbfounded when he heard Joseph’s reply. He had told them to not reveal his identity, but he never thought that
Joseph would come up with an excuse like that. He did not know what to feel about his made-up story.
After all, Lana had used this story once before.
The expressions of James and the others shifted when they heard Joseph’s story. Who knew that jackie had saved not just one,
but two Gods of War?
“What about you, Sir Campbell?” asked the seven-star King of War with a grin on his face.
Fernando did not know how to reply to that; he did not put much thought into his ‘excuse’. He had thought of using the same
story Joseph gave out, but Joseph used it as his own. With how sudden he was asked that question, Fernando could not find a

better answer in such a short time, and if he took too long, it would induce suspicion.
The cogs in his brain spun as he tried to come up with a plausible excuse, yet he found not a single good story to reply to the
question asked. In the end, he could only offer an awkward smile. “It’s the same as Joseph’s, actually. I was injured like him and I
almost lost my life too, but jackie saved both our lives!”
Joseph smiled stiffly and chimed in, “That’s right, that’s exactly what happened!”
Many of the attendees could not help themselves as they sneakily fished out their phones to take photos. The sight of three
Gods of War in the venue was sensational news; they wanted to gloat to their friends and family about it.
Lana stepped forward and changed the topic, “Where’s your wife, Fernando? Didn’t you say that you were going to bring your
wives and your daughter along? Why are you here alone?”
“They should be here anytime soon. They’re actually taking the cab,” Fernando replied, smiling. “I had them get off of the
helicopter at the city gates, and I’m here first because I couldn’t wait to see all of you. There were no hangars around here, so I
just jumped off!”
“I skydived here as well. Great minds think alike!”
Joseph laughed.
“You’re right, Gods of War. We never thought about this before. Don’t worry, we’ll inform our boss about this and we’ll quickly
improve our facilities. We’ll remove part of the roof there to build a hangar!”
With a large grin, the hotel manager immediately stepped forward and spoke, “It’s such an honor for us to host so many Gods of
War!”
Meanwhile...
“F*ck.” Neil and Ken dragged Ivan into a corner and frantically asked, “Why isn’t jackie dead yet? He still looks like he’s in fine
spirits! Are you sure about this, Ivan? Why isn’t he dead yet?”
They grew impatient.
Chapter 852
Both Ken and Neil took part in the banquet jackie hosted just to see him dead. They wanted to see him flat on the floor as his

body succumbed to the poison.
More importantly, they wanted to see the shock and horror on everyone’s faces. They wanted to see him die before Selena and
how her face would morph into one with immeasurable agony.
Still, nothing they expected had happened as they watched as the Gods of War trailed in, one after another, and bolstered jackie
and Selena’s reputation to no end. It was plain to see how everyone admired them.
“I’m sure of it, and we saw it for ourselves! A few days ago, jackie was complaining about how he was feeling unwell. Xena was
there, too!”
Ivan frowned. “Let’s wait for a bit. This is the final day, after all. It’s possible that jackie has a body strong enough to resist the
poison for a bit, so the symptoms are probably suppressed. Maybe the symptoms will just pile on him abruptly, and he’ll explode
into pieces. That’s possible!”
“That’s right. I can verify that information since I did follow Ivan that day. jackie did tell us that he wasn’t feeling well!”
Xena nodded. “I think it’s about time! Either that, or the poison that you two obtained is fake!”
“What are you talking about? There’s no way it’s fake!”
Ken immediately huffed. “Just wait for it, I’m sure it won’t be long. That little punk will die soon enough!”
“Oh, the thought of it makes me so excited. Selena will surely have a meltdown by then!” Neil emitted a mirthless chuckle.
Back at the banquet, Fernando took out a credit card and thrust it toward Selena. “Right. I didn’t buy any gifts, but I do have this
credit card. I’m giving it to you, Miss Selena. There’s one billion inside, and it doesn’t have a personal identification number!”
“That’s too much!”
The overwhelmed Selena did not know what to feel as she turned to look at jackie. It was too much. Joseph had given her one,
and Fernando was giving her another.
“Just take it as their blessing!”
The grinning jackie nodded his head reassuringly, and only then did Selena take the credit card.
“These Gods of War are being too generous, aren’t they? They’re giving out one billion just like that!” blurted Ivan.

“Joseph had also given one billion. Hmm... They’ve probably discussed this earlier. It wouldn’t look good if one of them gave less
than the other.”
Neil flashed a bitter smile.
“Joseph gave that much too?”
Ivan’s expression contorted when he heard that. He thought that jackie would have trouble settling the bills, what with the money
he needed to spend to book the entire hotel and organize a wedding banquet.
Who knew that the Gods of War would give him so much money. It was definitely enough to cover the costs, and they would still
have plenty left. jackie was earning big dollars!
Concurrently...
...
In a third-class aristocratic family’s residence, the Turner family’s master, Fabian asserted, “Let’s go. We have to go!”
“Dad, it’ll be so embarrassing if we go. We caused such a big issue out of the billiards game with jackie that one time!” countered
Leo, his brows furrowed as he did.
Chapter 853
“Don’t be an idiot! Just look at the attendees of the wedding banquet. Three Gods of War have already shown up, a billionaire
businessman from the Gin City is attending, and there are so many top-tier celebrities. It’s mayhem! What if jackie gets angry
because we don’t go?”
Fabian then continued, headstrong in his stance, “Besides, we gave the money we lost to the kid, right? There shouldn’t be
much of a grudge between us now. If we go, we’ll be able to make connections with aristocratic families, war officers, and the
likes. We might even become good friends with the Gods of War!”
“Fine. Let’s go.” Leo eventually relented as he nodded, and with that, they made preparations to go to the seven-star hotel.
“We have to go. Fernando Campbell is my idol!”
Quite a few run-off-the-mill businessmen who had thought of attending decided to not attend the banquet, as it was
embarrassing to not come up with proper gifts. After all, they should give anything that was worth less than 80,000 dollars at a

place like that.
However, they suddenly decided to go when they saw the Gods of War. It would be amazing enough if they managed to get a
God of War like Fernando into the background of a selfie.
More and more people came to attend the banquet, and jackie fortunately prepared everything beforehand. Moreover, there
were a few private rooms and tables ready on the floors below them. Otherwise, there probably would not be enough places to
sit.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the six-star hotel opposite them...
“H—He literally stirred the city, alright...!” Cecilia’s lips contorted into a small, bitter smile. She had lost—and terribly, at that. She
did not know why those Gods of War attended jackie’s banquet, but her loss was indisputable.
Cecilia did not want to admit that, but there was no way around it.
Just as she felt absolutely hopeless, two helicopters appeared above her.
“Don’t tell me that more Gods of War are coming?!”
James looked at the distance, shocked at the sight of two more helicopters that came from different directions. He could sense
his breaths turned uneven and ragged.
One of the helicopters arrived and a man jumped down from it. The man smiled faintly before he entered the hotel.
The man feared that everyone would question why he would attend the banquet, thus he took the initiative and greeted jackie
smilingly, “Mr. jackie, thank you for saving my life. Your medical skills are unparalleled. I just had to come to your banquet to
share a few drinks with you!”
jackie was dumbfounded at the man’s greeting, and all he could do was offer an awkward smile.
Lana, Fernando, and Joseph—who stood by the side—were just as shocked. They never thought that Abner would use the
same story. That was too...
It was fine if one or two of them used the same story, but... Three? Four? That was too much.
Lana had told them beforehand to prepare their own replies and stories, but they never did discuss the stories they wanted to
use, and they all thought of the same thing.

However, they did discuss the matter of the banquet gift, and they collectively decided that they would each give a billion dollars.
Abner quickly fished out a credit card and handed it to Selena. “Miss Selena, there’s one billion in here. Just take it as a token of
my blessing and as thanks to your husband for saving my life. You have to take it. The password is six zeros, but you can
change it whenever you like!”
“T–Thank you, Sir Young!”
Selena felt touched, and she did not know what else to say. Lana had also given her a billion just moments ago, and she had
amassed gifts worth four billion dollars. Would she get rich with just this banquet?
“Ah...! I—I feel dizzy!”
Fiona—who was not too far away—was utterly shocked. They earned so much in just this banquet! She pinched her thigh tightly.
“I... I’m not dreaming!”
Chapter 854
Fiona felt like everything was a dream. After all, four Gods of War attended her daughter’s banquet and gave both jackie and her
their blessings.
It was only then Fiona knew jackie’s claim that he would stir the city was no empty promise; he delivered that promise. They
were handed a ridiculously lucky hand, and the presence of the four Gods of War far surpassed what anyone could imagine.
Thump!
Amid her excitement, a loud noise was heard from above them. The other helicopter flew toward them, and another man leaped
down from it.
“It’s... It’s William Nash, a God of War!” a young woman called out, and the crowd was shocked once more. Yet another God of
War showed up to the banquet.
“My goodness...! It’s true!”
James was stupefied.
“Sir Nash, why are you here?” Queenie excitedly walked toward him, her eyes fixated on him. The God of War had a regal aura
to him.

William gave a wan smile; he had already prepared his story. “During the days before I was an accomplished person, I was
injured during a skirmish and nearly died with the wound. Fortunately, Mr. jackie was so skilled that he saved me, so that’s why
I...”
It was only then when William noticed the odd gazes directed at him.
He immediately frowned. “What’s wrong? Did I say something?” he asked.
Queenie offered an awkward smile. “No, n—nothing’s wrong. jackie truly is a skilled medical practitioner, and it seems like he
saved many lives throughout the five years he was in the military!”
“His medical skills are astoundingly incredible!”
William laughed. He then walked toward Selena, took out a credit card worth a billion dollars, and handed it to her. “So you’re his
wife. No wonder jackie kept mooning over you on the battlefield!”
Selena’s chest was filled with warmth when she heard that. “Welcome, Sir Nash. Please, take a seat!”
“It’s our honor to see you, Sir Nash!” the people bowed at him.
“Don’t worry about it!”
William chuckled before he faked his surprise. “Oh, what a coincidence,” said William as though shocked to see them. “Joseph,
Fernando, you’re both here too!”
“That’s right. jackie so happened to have saved us before too!”
Abner gave an awkward smile.
William was stunned when he heard that. No wonder everyone gave him weird looks just moments ago; everyone else gave the
same story as he did!
If everyone used the same story, would anyone actually believe it?
Fernando pulled him to the side. “Why did you use the same story?” he asked in a quiet voice. “Couldn’t you find some other
excuse?”

William did not know what to feel about it. “I couldn’t think of a good one, even after spending half the day thinking about it. It so
happens that Master is a skilled medical practitioner even better than Ethan Hays, so that’s why that’s the only story I can think
of. I thought it was the best excuse ever. It has a sliver of truth in it though, since he’s so skilled in medicine!”
“We’re done for! If we’re thinking like this, Ethan and the rest will probably use the same excuse too!”
Fernando’s expression darkened, his lips curled into a wry smile.
All of a sudden, another helicopter appeared on the horizon, as it flew in from the city gates.
Chapter 855
Thump!
Just like before, a low thud was heard as a man appeared on the glass balcony that extended from the roof.
“It’s another God of War, Sam Johnson!”
Everyone grew even more excited when they recognized him. That added another God of War in the venue.
In truth, everyone expected it was a God of War when they saw him jumping down from such a high altitude. He actually dared to
leap down from a height of 100 or 200 meters above sea level yet sustained no injuries. Only the Gods of War could accomplish
such a feat.
“Sir Johnson, you’re here too! You look so handsome!”
“Oh, yes! Coming here was worth every second of my time. There are already six Gods of War here. My god, I’m going nuts!”
“I’ve never seen so many Gods of War in all the years I’ve served on the battlefield. I’ve only ever seen one, yet here they are,
six of them!”
The marshals, commanders, and the likes were all excited. The sight that greeted them shook them to the very core.
“My goodness. Another one!”
At the same time, on the top floor of the six-star hotel opposite them, Cecilia and members of the Gold family watched on with
sour expressions. They saw another God of War appearing on the opposite hotel’s screen, and it was a grand sight to see.

“six of them came to the banquet. Perhaps all nine will show up?” Kelly chuckled. He felt that he had become the joke of the
entire universe.
“No way. How can that happen?”
Master Gold shook his head, convinced that he was dreaming.
“Miss Selena, I almost died once on the battlefield, but Sir jackie was luckily skilled in medicine...”
Sam went straight to Selena and conveyed his story, and he did not notice the desperate hints that Lana and the others were
giving.
When they heard that explanation, James and the others were utterly speechless. Just how many Gods of War had jackie
saved?
Even Selena was at a loss for words; that excuse sounded more like a lie at that point. Was jackie a specialist? Why did so many
of the people he saved on the battlefield turned out to be Gods of War, when there were plenty of other soldiers?
Nonetheless, Selena did not want to wear herself out thinking about it. She just smiled and took the credit card worth one billion
from him.
It seemed that all those Gods of War were tycoons, and they had discussed beforehand to give one billion dollars each. Still,
they were too generous.
The beautiful manager from Daxia Juwel admired Selena for being able to marry a man like jackie; she had enough happiness
just from the banquet to fill her for a lifetime. She was probably the happiest woman in the entire world on this day.
Sam went to join Fernando and the others after he gifted Selena the credit card.
He felt like shriveling when he found out that the excuse he gave was the exact same story that the others had supplied.
Still, Sam had no choice. It would be way too suspicious if he claimed that jackie’s fighting prowess far surpassed his. It so
happened that jackie was skilled in medicine, and that was why the story of jackie saving him was flawless.
Despite that, he never anticipated that his comrades shared the same train of thought on their excuse.
“Ethan won’t use this excuse, right?”

Lana thought about it before she said, “After all, Ethan’s such a skilled doctor, and everybody acknowledges him as a miracle
doctor. Ethan probably won’t convince anyone if he uses that excuse.”
Everyone nodded at Lana’s speculation. It would be preposterous if the nine Gods of War used the exact same excuse, and no
one would believe them.
Chapter 856
Just as they were talking, two more helicopters appeared in the distance as it slowly flew toward the hotel.
A smile managed to creep its way onto Selena’s face. “Don’t tell me that the other three Gods of War are coming too?” she
whispered to jackie. “With the arrival of those two, we’ll only be missing one more!”
jackie nodded. “They don’t have much of a choice. They need to come see you, at least. How could they not come to my
wedding? I’d give them a good one-two if they don’t!”
Selena rolled her eyes at jackie, though her happiness was evident. “You really took this to another level, didn’t you? I’m
practically trembling in anticipation now, and the gifts we’ve received today will be enough to cover the costs of the hotel. Even
with all that, we’ll have plenty left!”
Selena’s smile slowly dropped as a thought occurred to her. “We’ll have to return the gesture when they get married,” said
Selena, “and we’ll have to give plenty of money then!”
jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. “Don’t worry, Honey. They’ve married long ago. Look there:
Fernando’s two wives and his son are here!” said jackie as he pointed at the elevator.
Fernando’s family had indeed taken a cab over.
“Oh... That’s great!”
Selena gave a bitter smile. “I’m so nervous. There are so many Gods of War here. Am I dreaming?”
“No, you’re not.”
jackie smiled, and within the span of ten seconds, the two Gods of War leaped down from their helicopters.
“It’s our honor, Sir Riley Blackwell!”
“It’s our honor, Sir Adam McCarthy!”

Everyone cried out in excitement when they saw the two Gods of War.
“It’s insane! Another two Gods of War are here!”
One of the attendees whipped out his phone and took photos. The banquet was sensational, and these photos would be enough
ammunition to gloat.
Plenty of businessmen were even more excited by then. jackie did not place any restrictions on his guests, so anyone could walk
in. This really made them feel elated.
“Oh my, so many people are here already. Seems like Lana and the rest arrived long ago!”
Riley chuckled as he scanned his surroundings.
“You’re right. Looks like only Ethan isn’t here yet. Everyone else is here, though!”
Adam chuckled as well. The two of them went over to greet jackie.
“Happy birthday to you, Miss Selena, and congratulations on yours and jackie’s wedding!” the two spoke simultaneously, and
they each presented a credit card worth one billion to Selena.
Selena was truly convinced that all nine Gods of War would attend their banquet with how things looked.
It was then a thought chimed in Selena’s mind, and her brows furrowed instinctively. “How did you two know jackie?”
jackie had told her once that the nine Gods of War were his disciples, but Selena never thought much about it as she assumed
jackie was just lying.
Yet, with the sight of all the Gods of War—that came from all parts of the country—in their banquet, Selena could not help the
thought... Was jackie truly their master?
“Oh, I had been injured on the battlefield once...”
“ jackie had saved my life once, so...”
The two Gods of War replied at the same time, but their voices trailed off when they heard the other’s words. They both had the
exact same train of thought.

Selena was flabbergasted. The first God of War gave that same excuse, yet so did the second. At that point, all eight Gods of
War had the same story, and the last one would probably give the same excuse too.
“ jackie truly is something else!”
Selena’s lips curled into a mirthless smile. She then said to them, “The journey must’ve been tiring for you two. Stay here for two
more days before you leave.”
Chapter 857
“Of course! I rarely swing around these parts!”
Adam and Riley grinned before they walked to one side, away from her.
With disbelief, Riley lowly spoke under his breath, “Seriously, Adam? Why did you have to use the same story as I did?”
“I didn’t think this could happen. Why would you say something like that? I also noticed that everyone gave us strange looks...
Don’t tell me that they gave the same story too? No one’s going to believe us if that’s the case!”
Adam felt lost at that moment.
“Right? We’ll draw suspicion if we all give the same story, and Master won’t be happy if his identity as the Supreme Warrior is
revealed!”
At that moment, William’s voice was heard as he walked over, a small smile on his face as he did.
“The only one left is Ethan. Let’s hope he doesn’t use the same story!”
Abner flashed a bitter smile as he joined them. “Regardless, it doesn’t matter if they’re suspicious about us. They can’t just
interrogate us about the matter, right? Of course, Master might not be happy about this!”
“Quiet down! Don’t let anyone hear you!” Lana quickly reminded him.
Many of the guests in the banquet sneakily took photos of them, though none of them came to disturb their conversation—
probably because of their revered status. Everyone maintained a safe distance away from them.
On the other hand, at the six-star hotel opposite them...
“There are eight Gods of War now!” said Master Gold sardonically as he broke out into a chuckle.

“Seems like all nine are going to come. He’s really sending shockwaves throughout the city!”
Cecilia stared into the distance. Another helicopter appeared on the horizon. It was a no brainer that the miracle doctor, Ethan
Hays would come as well.
...
“He’s here. Ethan is here. He probably won’t say that jackie saved him, right?”
James had no idea what to feel as he watched the helicopter. He did not understand why the eight Gods of War used the exact
same story. Did jackie truly save all of their lives? It was too much of a coincidence like that.
It was either a coincidence or jackie just had the incredible luck to have saved soldiers who were, in fact, Gods of War. It was
enough luck to make the gods jealous.
True enough, the person who was coming was Ethan.
“Greetings, Sir Ethan Hays!” greeted the guests when he arrived.
“Oh dear, I never thought that I’d be the last to arrive!”
The round-faced Ethan emanated a genial aura as he smiled.
“Sir Hays, it’s our honor to finally see you. You’re such a miracle doctor!’
“That’s right. Sir Hays, I heard that your medical skills have saved plenty of soldiers!”
“Sir Hays, don’t tell me that you have the same story as the other Gods of War. Were you saved by jackie as well?”
Voices cried out as he slowly walked toward jackie and Selena.
The corners of Ethan’s mouth twitched when he heard them. It seemed like the story he had crafted beforehand would not work.
However, he quickly came before jackie and spoke, smiling, “Sir jackie, long time no see. I heard that you’re highly skilled in
medicine as well, and that you saved the lives of the other eight Gods of War. I’ve come here to humbly request that you impart
your wisdom to me. I hope that I can learn plenty from you!”
jackie was speechless. Someone came up with a different story at last, but that excuse was a little too scandalizing.

“You’re too kind, Sir Hays. We should be exchanging our knowledge instead. No master-student relationship required!” replied
jackie awkwardly as he grinned.
Chapter 858
The crowd held their breath for a moment when they heard what Ethan had said to jackie. Ethan Hays, the miraculous doctor
who possessed incredible medical knowledge, came and asked jackie to teach him the art of medicine?
Would that not mean jackie was even more skilled than him in the medical field?
Fiona could no longer stand idly by the sidelines and went up to them. “Sir Hays, are you saying that my son-in-law’s medical
skills are even better than yours? It can’t be true, right? You’ve been called a miracle doctor, a divine doctor!” blurted Fiona.
Ethan knew that the woman before him was jackie’s mother-in-law, hence he gave her a bright smile and replied, “Yes, Auntie,
his medical skills are spectacular!”
Ethan paused for a moment before he added, “Just think about it: All these highly honored Gods of War had been injured in the
battlefield, and not a minor one at that. It’s logical that no ordinary doctor could treat them, and only a highly skilled doctor could
do that. Not only highly skilled, but top-notch. Like, top-top-notch, if you get what I mean.”
Ethan thought of something before he quickly continued, “So, with jackie’s amazing skills, he had treated them. Basically, he can
be considered as the Gods of War’s personal doctor!”
Only then did it dawn on the crowd that jackie had such a highly honored position in the battlefield. Even if he was not some God
of War or King of War, with his remarkable medical skills and his relationship with those Gods of war, it was sufficient to make
him respectable.
No wonder the eight Gods of War told the same story— jackie truly had saved their lives on the battlefield. The stories were not
lies; they were the truth!
“Yes, Sir Hays is right! jackie is our exclusive doctor, specialized in treating Gods of War and some eight-star and nine-star Kings
of War!”
Skyler chimed in to help jackie and the others too. He smoothened the situation with a smile on his face.
“Wow...! That’s really amazing! I really didn’t expect that this son-in-law of mine would be so admirable, so promising!”
Fiona patted jackie’s shoulder as she gushed, ” jackie, why didn’t you tell me this before?”

jackie was rendered speechless. Fortunately, Ethan’s explanation about the whole coincidental stories was justified, and the
excuses given by the eight Gods of War were covered up beautifully. Otherwise, it would be difficult for others to not think that
jackie was the Supreme Warrior.
jackie smiled and faced Fiona. “Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you about it. I’m just afraid that even if I do tell you, you
won’t believe me. Besides, I remember saying to you that my medical skills are better than Sir Hays’. That’s what I said, but you
didn’t believe it. You thought I was only bragging!”
Fiona’s lips curved into a sheepish smile. “Well... You can’t blame me for not believing you. After all, you seldom cure people,
and I thought you were just an ordinary soldier! How can I even think that you possessed such medical skills and knowledge?”
By that time, Joan recalled something, and she went toward them with a frown. “ jackie, something’s off. Before coming here, I
remember that you told me you’ve purchased a necklace for Selena. Where’s the necklace? Why didn’t you take it out and put it
on her? Her neck looks so bare and empty right now.”
“That’s right! Where’s the necklace you bought?”
Selena rolled her stunning eyes at jackie, the corners of her mouth curling up happily. “Didn’t you say you wanted to give me a
surprise?”
jackie smiled warmly at Selena before he replied, “That’s right, but you’ll have to close your eyes. I’ll put it on you!”
“Close my eyes? Why all the mystery?” Selena, internally overwhelmed with joy, closed her eyes shut.
With that, jackie quickly took out a jewelry box.
“What’s jackie doing? What kind of gift is he giving to Selena? I wonder...” muttered Ivan with a frown.
“The hell knows! Making it so mysterious, as though it’s a grand gift.”
Xena sneered coldly. “It’s just a necklace. How grand would it be? Everyone knows what kind of necklace it is, so why is he
acting so extra and asked Selena to close her eyes? What’s all the mystery for? It’s not like we don’t know it’s a necklace!”
Xena was green with envy and jealousy; she never thought jackie was such a capable man.
Had she known that from the start, Xena would have used millions of ways to seduce and tempt him with her beauty. It would
satisfy her enough to be his second wife.

Yet, even when she entertained that thought, the image of Sharon George came to mind. Xena glanced at Sharon who stood
beside her; an incredibly beautiful, gorgeous woman was she. Xena knew she could never top that, even if she did follow
through with pulling a million tricks to tempt jackie. It was futile.
jackie would certainly not like her, and it did not help that that punk was no typical playboy that drooled over pretty ladies.
Chapter 859
As Xena mulled over the matter, jackie had taken out the necklace from the box and placed it around Selena’s neck.
“What?!”
Xena could feel her blood rapidly rushing through her veins in enthusiasm and her breaths labored at the sight of the necklace.
Her eyes felt like it would pop out of their sockets.
That necklace... It was the Heart of the Abyss!
Some time ago, there was a rumor that that exorbitant necklace was bought by a mysterious tycoon. Xena never thought that the
mysterious buyer was jackie all along!
“The Heart of the Abyss!”
“Oh my freaking god! It’s the Heart of the Abyss!”
“So it was jackie who bought it! Oh my... Oh my! It’s hella expensive!”
Many of the ladies among the crowd—who usually used luxurious products—gasped and gushed excitedly at the necklace
before them. They were obsessed with the necklace.
Selena’s eyelids flipped open at the sound of gasps and excitement from the crowd. She glanced down to look at the necklace
that dangled around her neck... There was a huge ruby stone! Her eyes were flooded with tears in an instant.
“ jackie... You bought it! You actually bought it! This is too much!”
At that moment, Selena felt that all the aggravation and adversity she had suffered all those years were worth it. jackie’s
kindness and love for her moved her completely.
Selena did not even see jackie for five years, yet this man gave her the best of everything.

Selena’s tears rolled down her cheeks like gushing waterfalls.
“Honey, why are you crying? Today is our big day!”
jackie’s heart wrenched at the sight of Selena crying, and he gently wiped them off before saying, “Don’t get your makeup
messed up. You want to look pretty on our big day, right?”
Selena let out a laugh. “No, it’s nothing. It’s just... I’m just too happy. These are happy tears! I’ve never been so happy before!”
“Mommy, you’re so beautiful!”
A pair of big, gleaming eyes beamed at Selena. It was the adorable Kylie, blinking at her mother.
“Of course! Your Mommy is the prettiest!”
jackie hoisted Kylie into his arms and gushed, “Quick, give Mommy a kiss!”
“Mwah!”
Kylie nodded giddily before she obediently stretched her neck and gave Selena a peck on her cheek.
“It’s the Heart of the Abyss!”
Xena’s eyes were transfixed on the necklace as jealousy sizzled within her. Life would be perfect if she had that necklace around
her neck, but alas, such an opportunity would not come in this lifetime.
The boss of the Daxia Juwel smiled with satisfaction; he made the right choice to attend jackie and Selena’s banquet. He turned
to jackie and said, “ jackie, why don’t we all take a group photo together? You, me, the Gods of War, and some first-class
families.”
“Sounds good to me!”
jackie smiled and gestured to Lana and the others to join them. “Madam Zechs, let’s come over and take a photo together. Come
to think of it, we haven’t taken a photo together yet!”
“Sounds great!”
Elated, Ethan and the others joined jackie to take group photos.

Chapter 860
Those who could join the group photos were only those from first-class families and people of such status, like James Drake.
This made Ken, Neil, and the others envious as they were not qualified to join.
As Ivan was from the Taylor family, he could join the photograph session. Xena, on the other hand, merely tagged behind Ivan
and stood at the back corner. Even if it was just a photo and she barely knew any of them, it was still an honor and a pleasure for
Xena.
“ jackie... I still feel that this necklace is too expensive. How about we find an opportunity to sell it?”
Once the photos were taken, Selena gazed at the Heart of the Abyss wound around her neck. Her feelings overwhelmed her so
much that she blurted her worries to jackie.
Selena’s words stunned jackie. He leaned close to Selena and whispered to her ear, “Honey, I’ll be honest: Such a necklace
wasn’t expensive at all, and you now have nearly ten billion in your pocket. It’s not that much at all, you see. Try to think of it this
way. Your husband is the Gods of War’s exclusive doctor, so do you think the reward given to me would be so meager?”
Selena took a deep breath after she listened to jackie’s reasoning. He was right; he was the exclusive doctor for the nine Gods of
War, and that was a great achievement. Besides, the rewards received by the nine Gods of War would be no less than 100
billion. While he was not as honorable as them, jackie must have received 10 billion or so.
With that reassuring thought, Selena playfully rolled her eyes at jackie and pinched his waist. “ jackie White, why didn’t you say
so earlier? Why do you have to worry me?”
Selena then followed up when a thought occurred to her, “Still, you’re not at fault. If my mother knew about it, I’m afraid my
mother might yell at you and demand a pretty sum. You can’t tell her about it. This must remain a secret,” Selena suggested
thoughtfully.
“Ah, my dear wife is right. I had a hard time buying this necklace for you, so you’ll have to keep and wear it, alright?” jackie
chuckled wholeheartedly.
“Alright!”
Glancing at the time, Selena turned her head to the hotel’s general manager. “You can now serve the dishes!”
“Very well, Mrs. White.” Once the performance on-stage was paused, the general manager of the hotel sauntered up to the stage
and announced through the microphone, “Everyone, please take your seats and get ready to be served with delicious food!”

The owner of the hotel also went up to the stage and boisterously spoke, “Hello everyone, I’m the owner of this hotel. Today’s the
happiest and most glorious day in my life, all thanks to Mr. and Mrs. White for ushering in so many distinguished guests and
even invited the honorable Nine Great Gods of War!”
The owner momentarily paused before he added, voice louder than before, “Therefore, I’ve decided that all the expenses on Mr.
and Mrs. White’ wedding banquet will be on the hotel!”
“What? What was that?! It’ll be on them? It’s all free now? Won’t the owner lose a lot of money?”
Fiona’s face beamed with joy and excitement at the owner’s words. The expenses on the wedding party today was estimated to
be at least one or two billion, not to mention that there were so many expensive food and wine. If the words were not from the
hotel’s owner himself nor the loud declaration through the microphone, Fiona would have doubted her own ears.
“This can’t be a mistake, right?”
Joan and Andrew were both dumbfounded with the same look of disbelief.
Old Master Taylor, on the other hand, smiled warmly. “Well, what do you know? So many Gods of War have come here today,
thus his business from today onward will only skyrocket. He gets to receive such success, all thanks to jackie. The aftermath of
this grandest wedding banquet is downright staggering—they’ll be busy counting money. Moreover, business in a seven-star
hotel won’t be too good usually because it’s too expensive!”
Old Master Taylor then turned his gaze toward the stage, his eyes filled with wisdom. “The most crucial thing is that today he has
taken a photo with us, and the Nine Great Gods of War are in it too. It’s a great attraction point; he can just say that the Nine
Great Gods of War had come to their hotel and feasted in a banquet! His business won’t go down after that!”
“Oh, so that’s how it is. I thought so! How could he be so kind and charged us nothing? So there is such a benefit for him!”
Realization dawned on Fiona then, but it did not matter as the hotel charged not a single penny on them. For them, that was a
gain!
Chapter 861 “From today onward, whenever the Nine Great Gods of War, Mr. and Mrs. White, as well as their family, come to our
hotel, it will be free!”
The owner of the hotel smiled blandly and announced the benefits.
“Wow, that’s fantastic! Dear, we can come here often to eat all for free!”

Fiona could barely conceal her delight that she practically yelled into Andrew’s ear.
Andrew’s face dulled in return. “Will you really come often? It’s okay if you come once in a while, but if you do often, won’t you
feel embarrassed? Moreover, the money that the Nine Great Gods of War have given Selena today is already nine billion dollars
with the rest given by others, we’ll get around ten billion, right? We have so much money now, you can’t afford to pay for a
meal?”
Only then did realization hit Fiona that she and her family, indeed, were rich enough now. There was no need to take advantage
of such a perk.
Nevertheless, she rolled her eyes at Andrew and uttered, “What do you know? This represents our family’s status and image in
this city! Even for people like James Drake, when he comes here to have a meal, he’ll have to pay! The Drakes are no ordinary
people; they’re someone who can just use their status and reputation to get anything they want, it’s not about money right now,
it’s all about our status and reputation!”
Andrew gave some thoughts on the matter and finally, he bobbed his head to show his agreement. It made sense after all.
“All right, all right. Everyone, please enjoy your meal! I hope you are satisfied with our service!”
The owner of the hotel ended the commotion with a delightful ending.
Since there were too many people at the sightseeing platform, those A-list celebrities as well as some ordinary businessmen,
knew that they were not qualified to sit there. Hence, consciously they went to the private rooms a few floors below.
On the other hand, jackie and Selena sat at a table with the Nine Great Gods of War.
“C’mon! Let’s drink up! We must have a few more glasses today!”
Fernando stood up from his seat and chortled brightly.
“A few more glasses? Only a few more? We have to at least empty a few bottles!”
Lana teased with a wide and elated grin plastered on her face.
At this moment, on the opposite side of the roof of the six-star hotel, Cecelia and the others were upset that their faces were as
dark as coal; resentment grew within them like a malignant tumor.

They were no fool. The Nine Great Gods of War were all on the other side, and those who told them that they would come back
after sending their blessings and gifts to jackie, would not return any more. It was certain that none of them would come back to
Cecelia’s wedding unless their brains were nothing but full of grass.
“Dad, what should we do? We’ve spent a lot of money on all the food and wine. Each table here cost up to eight hundred
thousand dollars!”
Kelly wheeled his head and looked at the empty tables and chairs behind him, his heart sank to the deepest. He was
speechless. Everything was prepared nicely to cater up to thousands of guests. All the food and alcohol were already prepared.
It was impossible to turn back now.
“What should we do? The correct question should be what else can we do!”
The head of the Gold family trembled with rage, anger rose in him like a ride. He glared deadly at Kelly and Cecelia. “It’s all your
fault! Both of you! Why did you have to choose the same day with Selena? Look what brought us in the end? Empty hall!”
He exasperated and stomped right after he ended his last sentence. Then he yelled again, “Go and ask those singers,
cameramen, and whoever to come over to eat. We’ll go back immediately after the meal!”
Chapter 862 Cecilia got angrier the more she thought about it, but she could not do anything about it either. She could only
clench her teeth and comfort herself with the knowledge that jackie was going to die soon. He was probably going to explode to
death at any time. She needed to see how he died.
Only, they had already finished their meal, and jackie and the others on the opposite quickly finished theirs as well. Judging from
the huge screen, asides from the slight redness in his cheeks from drinking plenty of wine, he did not seem to be having any
other adverse reactions.
“Strange. Didn’t they say that he would die today? It’s already late in the afternoon. He’s not even showing the slightest
symptom. What on earth is Ivan doing? Did he lie to me?”
Cecilia frowned, pondering on the matter.
She thought about it. Then she silently crept to the side and called Ivan.
Ivan, Ken, and the others were all waiting for jackie to drop dead onto the floor as well—to see the sight of his rotten body.
However, up until now, they did not see what they came here for. Because of that, they drank quite a few rounds of alcohol.

jackie was truly the star of the entire city today, and this made them utterly speechless. They could not wait for him to drop dead
in front of everyone.
Especially now, when jackie had so much money and even bought the Heart of the Abyss for Selena. It seemed that their
relationship would only grow stronger.
Meanwhile, Fiona had been all smiles all day. It was evident that she was growing happier and contented with her son-in-law.
There was very little chance for interference unless jackie died or the two were broken up.
Fiona, Ben, Andrew, and everyone else had hated jackie before when he was a good-for-nothing. They had thought that there
was still a way to convince Selena to marry a young master from a wealthy family.
Now though, with their reputation bolstered, jackie was no longer a good-for-nothing son-in-law. Instead, he was the exclusive
doctor of the nine Gods of War. It was a position that everyone respected and admired.
That was why although jackie was not a God of War or a King of War, his position was still slightly higher than that of the revered
militants.
Now the only hope that they had was for the poison to work quickly on jackie—for him to die before their eyes.
They never thought that Cecilia would call Ivan at this moment.
He scanned his surroundings. Then he walked to an empty corner before picking the call up. “Yes, cousin? Is there something
wrong?”
“Is there something wrong? Idiot! Of course, there is!”
Cecilia’s chest heaved violently from anger. “Didn’t you and the old man say that you would come over for lunch after presenting
your gifts at Selena’s wedding?” she snapped. “Great. The businessmen and James Drake aren’t here—even you guys aren’t
here. You’re my family, but not one of you remained at my wedding. It’s so embarrassing!”
As Cecilia spoke, she felt that she suffered so much today. Tears threatened to spill out of her eyes, and her voice turned hoarse.
“Cousin, you can see it for yourself. The Nine Great Gods of War are here. How could we leave? Besides, don’t you know that
the old man loves his reputation? He’s drinking with the Gods of War now. This is a matter of reputation for him. Why would he
think of you now!”

Chapter 863 Ivan flashed a bitter smile. “Ah, we have no choice. Who knew that jackie would pull a stunt like this, getting the
nine Gods of War to come for his wedding!”
Cecilia thought for a while, then she asked, “So you’re saying that the eight other Gods of War are all at his wedding because
they wanted to boost his reputation? They’re not here because they wanted to see Lana?”
Ivan was speechless for a moment. “Of course. They could have seen her at any time they wanted. Why would they choose
today, of all days? They’re here because of jackie!”
“But how does a good-for-nothing like jackie, know such people? No way that he saved all of their lives before, in addition to
Lana’s!”
Cecilia huffed. She really could not understand why the Gods of War would come from afar for the sake of jackie’s reputation—
just to attend his and Selena’s wedding.
“That man isn’t a good-for-nothing. Besides, you’re right on the nail. With his medical skills, he’s become the designated doctor
for the Gods of War. jackie had helped to cure them when they sustained injuries. That was why they came here for his wedding.
They rushed over once they knew that he was having a wedding!”
Ivan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Fck that bstard. He really managed to do a good job hiding his identity. No wonder he
had the money to buy the Heart of the Abyss. With his status, he probably hasn’t even received his bonus after he came back.”
“I don’t care. I just want to see him die. Didn’t you say that your girlfriend, Xena fed him the poison? Why isn’t he showing the
slightest symptoms till now? I’m getting impatient. Why isn’t he dead yet?”
Cecilia was so furious that she stamped her foot. She looked at the huge screen opposite her hotel—at jackie and Selena, who
were drinking along with the Gods of War and Old Man Taylor. Her throat constricted.
“I don’t know either. Jeez. I had seen him just a few days ago. He told me that he was feeling extremely unwell. I don’t know why
he’s still standing there and drinking wine as though he were perfectly fine. Logically speaking, even if he doesn’t die anytime
soon, he shouldn’t be able to drink so merrily!”
As Ivan spoke into the phone, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He was extremely doubtful.
Cecilia thought about it. “Maybe Xena lied to you?” she said. “Women like her are always up to no good. She’s only with you
because she wants your money. You shouldn’t believe someone like her!”

Ivan took a long drag from his cigarette, looking at Xena, who was drinking at a table. Then he shook his head. “I don’t think so.
She has no reason to lie to me about this. Besides, she hates jackie so much that she wants him dead as soon as possible. She
had perfect chances to poison jackie while she was with Ben. No way that she lied to me about this!”
After he remained silent for a few seconds, he made a guess. “Maybe this will be his last hurrah. It should be happening any time
soon. Let’s wait for a bit. This is his last day. This is probably the calm before the storm!”
“All right. Don’t disappoint me!”
Cecilia hung up, huffing.
Ivan walked over to Xena’s side after the call ended. “Xena, are you sure that jackie drank that poison?” he asked softly.
“Of course. I saw him drink it with my own two eyes. How many times are you going to ask me about this?”
Xena was speechless for a moment. She felt that Ivan did not trust her.
Chapter 864 Ivan comforted Xena when he saw her getting angry. “It’s not that I don’t believe in you but why does this guy seem
to be in such a good shape?”
Xena also frowned. “Doesn’t he have very good medical skills? Didn’t Ethan Hays say that he needs to consult jackie on certain
things too? jackie modestly said that it’s an excuse but I don’t think that the miracle-working doctor Ethan Hays is lying about
things!” Xena paused before continuing speaking. “Is it possible that this guy has really good medical skills, so he has removed
the poison from his body?”
Ivan was also surprised when he heard this. Yes, what if jackie really did it? After all, he’s not a normal doctor and has really
strong medical skills. If not, how could he be the one to treat the Nine Great Gods of War?
However, Ivan soon shook his head. “I don’t think that it’s possible. I’ve asked Ken and the others about this poison. The poison
hides in the blood and will be undiscoverable in the beginning. Apart from that, there are no obvious symptoms. After around ten
days, when the poison has entered his bone marrow and gets distributed to his entire body, there will be no cure for him by
then!”
“How’s that possible? How about the antidote from the person who made this poison?” Xena felt that it was quite frightening
when she heard this. This weird poison that Ken found was really scary.

Ivan nodded. “If he discovered that he was poisoned during the first ten days, the poison can still be cured with the antidote.
However, there will be side effects, even if he’s cured, he might still be paralyzed. After all, this poison is really scary!” Ivan
paused for a while before he continued speaking. “However, the antidote wouldn’t work after twenty days. There’s no cure to this
poison!”
Xena was quiet for a while after she heard what Ivan said. “Could it be possible that jackie discovered the poison twenty or ten
days ago so he managed to detoxify himself?”
Ivan gritted his teeth. “Impossible, how’s that possible? Did you forget that he was uncomfortable when we saw him at his house
several days ago? Apart from that, he didn’t know why he was not feeling well. This means that he hasn’t discovered the
problem several days ago so he’s surely to die this time!”
“If that’s the case, let’s wait. Let’s wait for some more time, we might be too impatient!” Xena looked at the time. If he didn’t
doesn’t succumb to the poison this afternoon, he would tonight.
“that’s right!” Ivan laughed and poured two glasses of wine. He passed one of the glasses to Xena. “Come, baby, let’s do a pre-
celebration. Although I have no idea when, but this guy will definitely die today!”
The scene that Ken and Ivan anticipated did not happen at all.
Even at the wee hours at night, nobody saw the scene of jackie dying after everybody had left.
jackie and the others soon brought the Nine Great Gods of War to the Taylor family mansion. They also arranged
accommodation for all of the Great Gods.
Many of the Gods of War had planned to stay at the Taylor family for two to three days. This naturally made other powerful
people envious of the Taylor family.
After enjoying themselves for two days in Eastfield, eight of the Great Gods left Eastfield with their families.
Two days later, jackie was still alive and was living a better life than anyone else. This caused Ivan, Ken and the rest to feel
depressed.
Chapter 865 The group of four consisting of Ken, Ivan, Xena, and Neil gathered again.
“What actually went wrong? It’s been two days since the day he’s supposed to die. I believe that Xena saw jackie consuming the
poison with her own eyes!” Ivan looked at Ken after he spoke. “Young Master Ken, were you lied to by others? Either the poison

doesn’t have any effects or it’s expired. If not, jackie wouldn’t only have symptoms like dizziness and weakness.”
Ken also started wondering if there was something wrong with his poison after Ivan spoke. He said with a frown on his face,
“Could this be possible? I spent a lot of money to buy the poison!”
Neil said with a bitter smile. “It doesn’t matter whose responsibility it is and what went wrong. Those aren’t important now. The
most important thing is that jackie is still alive and it’s impossible for Ken and I to get Selena’s heart. So, what should we do
next?”
Ken could not help but smile bitterly. “Sigh, the only thing worth being happy about is that the four powerful clans inclusive of the
Wilson family, Eagle Clan, and the others, offended somebody strong. Michael Wilson was also killed and we have one less
opponent!”
Neil smirked. “Him? Haha, that fatty guy. He’s extremely fat, and he won’t have any hope even if jackie’s dead. He’s craving for
what he’s not worthy of. The hopeful people are me and Young Master Ken!”
“I’ve thought about it and it’s best if we employ assassins. The previous assassin failed because that woman was careless. This
time, let’s employ more assassins especially those who are at the top of the list. I believe that it will work!” Ivan remained quiet
before continuing to say. “It wouldn’t be an issue if we employ more people!”
“This seems to be the only option now. However, this option requires a huge amount of money. It would be impossible to hire
several masters from the southwest district killer list without at least five or six hundred million!” Neil smiled bitterly.
Ken curled his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, “What if we come up with two hundred million each? This is the
last chance we have. It’s impossible for Fiona and the others to get Selena to file for divorce. The only chance we are left with
now is to kill jackie!”
“Alright, I can secretly divert the company’s fund to my account then I can definitely come up with two hundred million!” Ivan was
silent for a short moment before nodding. He looked at Neil with Ken.
Neil put on a sour face. “Guys, this is not a small amount of money. How about this, I can borrow some money from several of
my friends. I have some money with me now and let’s see if I can make two hundred million within the next three days!”
“Alright, we are set then. After three days, let’s come over here with two hundred million each to make up for the six hundred
million before contacting the assassins! This time, it’s a make it or break it opportunity for us!” Ken stood up, exhaled, and said
firmly.

Everybody left after they walked out the door.
Ivan and Xena went to a villa that Ivan bought for Xena when she successfully drugged jackie.
Ivan thought about it and said, “Xena, I think that we should sell this villa first. I need the money now and this villa can be sold for
fifty million. With that money, we can make two hundred million and get someone to kill jackie!”
Chapter 866 Although Xena has gotten many benefits from Ivan, such as branded bags and cosmetics, the thing that made her
ecstatic was this villa Ivan bought for her a few days ago.
This villa cost Ivan over fifty million and her name was written as the owner. This represented Ivan’s true feelings for her and the
property belonged to her. This made her hopeful of the future.
Right now, Ivan was asking her to sell the villa and this made her unhappy.
Xena’s face darkened and she replied, “You just bought this villa for me several days ago and now you’re asking me to sell it at a
cheap rate? You said previously that you will divert money from your company, not sell this house!”
Ivan immediately comforted her. “Xena, I’m thinking about our future here. Think about it, jackie is our stumbling block. Selena
walked to where she is right now because of jackie’s assistance. Now, she’s not only back in the Taylor family, the old master
even said that he’s going to set up a new company and appoint Selena as the person-in-charge of this new company.
Ivan curled his hands into fists and continued to speak angrily. “Yesterday when we were having drinks, the old master said that
he’s going to invest three hundred million as the company’s reserve funding and Selena is going to be in charge of everything.
This company is almost the same as the current Taylor group!”
“So much money?” Xena frowned when she heard this. It seems that Old Master Taylor was appointing Selena to an important
position.
“Yes, if this continues, I’m worried that Selena will fight for the Taylor family’s properties with us in the future. After all, Cecilia has
already gotten married and she is not talented in the business aspect. Cecilia is not a competitor to me, however, Selena is
different. Selena is a very capable person. I tried so hard to obtain control of all the Taylor family’s properties and the old master
actually wants to start a new company for Selena. If Selena’s company does well in the future, her position in the Taylor family
would definitely change!”
Ivan grew increasingly worried as he thought about it. He looked at Xena and said seriously. “Xena, the Taylor group belongs to
us, the Taylors, and I want to inherit everything. Even if I can’t inherit everything, I want to get at least 90% of it. How can that go

into Selena’s hands? This time around, you have to help me with this!”
Xena thought about it and was still reluctant. She said with a frown on her face. “Ivan, I would like to help you but you’ve just
purchased this villa. We will need to lower the price if we’re going to sell it in such a hurry. If that’s the case, wouldn’t we lose
money? Apart from that, since you’re already diverting money from the company, what difference would fifty million more, make?
Why can’t you just directly divert two hundred million?”
Ivan was speechless about what Xena said. “Old Master has already taken three hundred million out to start a branch company
and let Selena do whatever she wants. This leaves me with not much money. Apart from that, the company still needs to
operate. I wouldn’t be easily discovered if I only divert one hundred and fifty million but I would be easily made out if I directly
divert two hundred million from the company.”
Xena was reluctant when she thought about how the villa was originally hers. She said with pursed lips, “But what does killing
jackie have to do with you getting your inheritance?”
“Both are definitely related. jackie is currently considered a very noble and high positioned man. All Nine Great Gods of War sent
him gifts when they knew that he’s getting married. Do you think that the other businessmen won’t want to work with Selena after
she has started a company? Many businessmen will try their best to work with Selena just to get into jackie’s good books and to
give jackie face!” Ivan immediately explained. “If that’s the case, Selena’s company will only get better and bigger. By then, the
old master will get increasingly satisfied with her abilities. How much inheritance do you think we will get? However, if jackie dies,
the others wouldn’t give Selena such opportunities because of jackie. Apart from that, she might be dispirited because of his
death. If she remarries somebody else, the Taylor family’s properties would be ours!”
Chapter 867 Xena also understood the situation here. She thought about it and nodded. “Alright, honey, I agree to help you.
However, you have to promise me that you’ll buy two villas like this after you’ve inherited the Taylor family’s properties.”
“Sure, whatever that belongs to me is yours by then and we will be a family. It would be nothing to buy two houses for you.” Ivan
smiled.
At this moment, photos of jackie and the Nine Great Gods of War spread to the public. Now everybody knew that there was a
man in Eastfield who could gather all Nine Great Gods of War to have a meal together and this alone, caused a stir in other
cities. This was the first time something like this has happened.
However, jackie was troubled by what happened these couple of days. Many people came to him, asking for treatment. There
were some with very common diseases and these people still came to jackie for treatment. He was speechless about the

situation and wondered how much time he would need to spend treating these people.
Luckily his pretty bodyguards stopped these people at the entrance and did not allow them to come in. Who knew what would
happen if these people entered.
jackie finally realized how scary it was for someone’s social status to be raised by a little. Luckily nobody knew that he was the
Supreme Warrior, if not, his door frame might just break from the number of people who came to visit him.
In the end, the number of visitors reduced after jackie placed a ‘No Entry’ sign at the entrance.
However, there were still many who refused to give up and wanted to ask jackie for treatment. They only gave up after jackie set
up another sign that said ‘100 million dollars per treatment’.
Even then, there were still some rich businessmen who would come asking jackie for help when they encountered diseases that
were hard to treat.
jackie did not decline such an opportunity that would earn him 100 million by just treating someone. After all, he was quite free
and this was easy money.
After jackie easily treated the cancer of two to three people, his fame increased incredibly and his medical skills were spread to
many places.
Just like what Ivan and Old Master Taylor predicted, Selena’s business developed smoothly after the city-stirring wedding.
Ivan was furious when the small factories that cooperated with his companies for outsourcing production actually changed
strategies and went to work with Selena instead.
Finally, twelve of the assassins on the Southwest district killer list gradually arrived at Eastfield.
Chapter 868 Finally, twelve scary assassins gathered at an empty land outside of the city. Ken, Neil, Ivan, and the others also
went over.
“are you guys looking down at us?” An old man glanced at the killers around them and started laughing coldly. “Who are you
guys trying to kill? Even I, the second on the killer list, can’t do it. Why do you need to get so many people here? You even
employ the killer who’s first on the killer list?”

They obviously felt that the people in front of them were too over the top. They have killed many people and some of them were
real masters. However, most of the time, these assassins worked alone and this was the first time so many important assassins
from the killer list gathered at the same place.
The man who held the third place also started smiling coldly. “Yes, I also wonder why do you need so many masters here. Haha,
with all of us here, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to kill a master who is as strong as a seven or eight-stars King of War, right?”
“Yes, is this really required?” A woman also smirked. “Could it be that we’re not killing one person but a group of people? That
would make sense!”
Ivan smiled bitterly before saying. “Everybody, please calm down. This time, we’re asking all of you to kill only one person. How
should we put it? This person has really strong combat skills and even has a dozen bodyguards at his house. However, this
person is quite confident and never brings any of those bodyguards every time he leaves the house! So, you guys don’t need to
worry about his bodyguards!”
Ken also said. “We spent so much money to employ so many of you because we’re afraid of failing. We need to make sure that
we succeed this time. If we fail, it would alert the enemy and once that happened, it would be very difficult to kill that guy!”
“Young master, let’s stop beating around the bushes. Just tell us who this person is. He should either be a leader of a clan or
some powerful King of War, am I right? You just said that he has a dozen bodyguards. If he has bodyguards but not a large
number of them, he’s definitely not a clan master. That makes him a King of War who just returned from the battlefield!”
At this moment, the man who was number one on the Southwest district killer list started smiling coldly. “To me, employing so
many people here is to make a big fuss over a minor issue because I’m quite confident in my own strength. How should I make
you guys understand? As an example, as long as the person you’re asking me to kill is not a God of War, nobody else matters!”
“if that’s the case, I dare say the same thing too!” The old man, second on the killer list, also started laughing loudly. He held his
hands in front of his chest and was also totally confident.
“I’m quite confident when I hear what you guys are saying!” Ivan nodded in satisfaction after he heard them.
Only then did Ken spoke. “I believe you guys heard about this person a couple of days ago. He’s none other than jackie, the son-
in-law who married into the Taylor family!”
“What?!” Somebody’s face darkened when they heard this. “Is it really jackie? If that’s the case, it would really be quite
troublesome. This man is someone who can gather all Nine Great Gods of War!”

“He’s the exclusive doctor to the Nine Great Gods of War? I don’t feel that it’s a good thing to kill him. After all, he contributed a
lot to everybody in Daxia!”
Chapter 869 One of the female assassins frowned and hesitated.
They thought that they were being asked to kill a slightly strong King of War. If that was the case, she would not be as pressured
about it.
They had no idea that these three young masters were asking them to kill jackie, the person who caused a stir in the entire
Eastfield and country.
“Why? You guys have not fought him yet. Are you all unconfident?” Ken was startled when he saw how these people reacted.
He glanced at the old man who was second on the killer list and said, “Didn’t you say that nobody else would be an issue as long
as it’s not a God of War? Why do you guys act like this when you hear that it’s jackie...”
The old man started smiling bitterly. “Brother, we know this person’s combat power very well. However, he’s not a God of War or
a King of War to our knowledge, so I alone would be sufficient to kill him. With that said, do you know what I’m afraid of?” The old
man paused before continuing. “If this young man could gather all the Nine Great Gods of War, this means that he has a very
good relationship with them. We will be in big trouble if we anger the Gods of War because we killed him and if they find out that
it was us who killed him!”
Even the man in the first place on the killer list nodded in agreement. “It’s not that we are not confident in killing this guy, we’re
just worried about the consequences when we anger the Gods of War. Putting other reasons aside, even if two or three out of
the Nine Great Gods of War got angry and investigates this, we would definitely be dead!”
Ken, Ivan, and the others finally realized what was happening.
These originally cold-blooded and fearless assassins were worried because to face the wrath of several Gods of War was a
catastrophe to them.
“Don’t you guys worry, we promise that we won’t sell you guys out! We can swear on this!” After staying quiet for some time, Ivan
raised his hand and surely said.
Ken, on the other hand, said, “Guys, you’re well-known assassins in the southwest district. Now that you’ve accepted the money,
it means that you’ve accepted the mission. It would be unprofessional of you to go against your words now. You’re all masters at
the top of the list and wouldn’t others look down on you if this was known by others?”

The twelve well-known killers’ faces darkened when they heard this.
Yes, they were twelve famous assassins. Their reputation would be ruined if news of this incident spread out.
However, the target that they were asked to kill was really peculiar. His identity made killing him even more troublesome than
killing the richest man in Eastfield.
“I have an idea!” The female assassin thought about it and said. “We can work together and kill this guy. This is a simple task.
However, we have a condition, you have to lure him out of the city and find an uninhibited place here for us to kill him there. This
would ensure that nobody knows about what happened. If we made a move in the city, we might leave traces behind and it
would be easy for others to investigate!”
The old man, second on the killer list, also nodded. “That would be great as we can get rid of the body easily as well!”
Chapter 870 ”Yes, that would be the best option we have!” The man who was number one on the killer list also nodded in
agreement!
Ivan and the others felt what the other party said made sense too.
After all, if they really angered several Gods of War, none of them would be able to run away even if these assassins have a way
to escape.
Finally, Ivan nodded. “This would work. Let us think of a way to lure jackie out. However, you need to promise us that you will
succeed this time! We won’t accept any failures!”
“don’t you worry. This guy is not a God of War, what’s there to be afraid of? Do you think that I’m some useless killer?” The old
man, who was second on the list, felt that what Ivan said was quite funny and laughed out loudly.
“That’s right. This guy must have quite a strong combat ability for being able to survive on the battlefield for five years. However,
his main position is a doctor, right? So, we don’t need to be afraid of anything. You guys must have overestimated this person by
employing so many of us here!” A middle-aged woman smiled coldly as she felt that Ivan and the others were being too careful.
However, this benefitted them as it would be quite simple for so many of them to kill one person. This was a job with easy money
guaranteed.
“Don’t underestimate him. Although this guy is only a doctor, he is quite capable of being able to stay on the battlefield for five
years.” Neil stepped one step forward. “We know that he once fought some marshals and those marshals failed to match to him.

They were killed by jackie in the end!”
“What?!” One of the men who was number 18 on the list was surprised when he heard this. “If that’s the case, this guy has at
least the combat ability of a one-star King of War, or maybe that of a two-stars King of War. It’s definitely difficult to handle
someone like that!”
“Humph, it might be difficult for you but it’s still not an issue for me!” The old man, second on the list, humphed coldly and still
acted indifferently.
“It’s good that you guys are confident. This guy would definitely not escape his fate with so many of you working together this
time!” Ken nodded and said. “How about this, let’s go around and take a look. Let’s see where we should lure this guy to so that
it would be easier to surround and ambush him. Later on, we will only need to lure him there!”
Everybody started looking around. Finally, an old man jumped onto a tree and looked far away.
When he returned, he had a slight smile at the corners of his mouth. “I’ve discovered a nice place and it would be difficult for that
guy to escape!”
Chapter 871 ”Where is this place that you are talking about?” The eyes of Ivan and the others lightened up and they quickly
asked.
The old man smiled before saying, “Walking toward this direction and in the middle of that forest, there’s a lake. There’s a small
island in the middle of the lake and there’s only a small wooden bridge that links to that island. Haha, isn’t jackie’s death
guaranteed if he goes to that island? As long as somebody guards the entrance to the bridge, it’s impossible for him to escape
even if he realizes that something is wrong!”
“Alright, this place is a really good location. I don’t think that we need to enter the city now. Let’s rest and wait here. We’ll hide on
the island after jackie leaves the city. Killing him would be a piece of cake then. Apart from that, if we didn’t enter the city, the
Gods of War wouldn’t be able to find anything even if jackie died!” The old man, second on the list, nodded in satisfaction.
“Alright, this is not an issue. How about this, we’ll try our best to lure jackie out tomorrow morning.” After Ivan made the final
decision, the one dozen of assassins left.
After the twelve assassins left, Ivan said to Ken and Neil. “It seems that these assassins are very confident and this is a good
thing for us. jackie is definitely dying this time!”

Neil nodded in satisfaction and was secretly relieved. “We’ve tried so hard to make six hundred million and employ these
masters. None of them are below the twentieth position on the list. jackie would definitely die in their hands and this is our only
chance. If jackie doesn’t die this time around, we would be out of chances!”
Ken smiled bitterly as he spoke. “Why do I feel that we’re actually losing money? jackie is not dead as he might have got rid of
the poison. However, his power must have been weakened. It would be quite easy to kill him now. Maybe our bodyguards could
have done it and we should have gotten somebody to test his current strength. It’s quite painful for us to spend so much money!”
Ivan’s face darkened when he heard this. “Why didn’t you tell us this earlier? It would have been beneficial if you said something
earlier. Now that we’ve spent the money, there’s no way to regret it and we can only continue with the plan!”
Neil was quiet for sometime before saying. “Apart from the three of us, Xena also knows about this. Although she’s not here now,
but, I’m afraid that the Gods of War would investigate after jackie dies. Can we rely on Xena? We are screwed if she tells others
about this.”
Ken also said. “Women are nosy and they like to show off, especially these women who are really vain. They enjoy showing-off.
What if she tells somebody about what happened today just to show-off? This would put us in a terrible position!”
Ivan smiled coldly after he heard them. “Don’t you guys worry, I am not planning to keep this woman by my side any longer. After
some time, I will think of a way to kill her. After all, this woman is useless to us now. I got together with her so that she would do
something for us. This woman is a bad person, how can I really marry her?”
“Young Master Ivan, what you said makes sense. We are in the company of the right person!” Neil laughed. “If you kill her, the
possibility of what happened today being exposed would be greatly reduced.”
“That’s right. Young Master Ivan, you can get any woman you want anyway! Now that the Taylor family is progressing so well and
you’re the next master of the Taylor family, you need to make good choices!” Ken also nodded in satisfaction. “You cannot keep a
woman like Xena, who would do anything for money, by your side. Apart from that, I heard that she’s been with many other men!”
Ivan nodded in agreement. “Wait a couple of days. I will kill her in a couple of days!”
Chapter 872 ”Haha, you’re a man of courage!” Neil laughed. He thought about the situation and said again. “By the way, it
wouldn’t be easy to lure jackie out. Why would he believe in us without a probable cause?”
Ken also nodded. “All of us here have some sort of dispute with jackie. Right now, this guy definitely hates us and we can’t just
ask him out for tea, right?”

Ivan started frowning when he heard what both Ken and Neil said. This was definitely a troublesome task. jackie was a smart
person, why would he believe in them without a good excuse?
He started thinking about it and soon his eyes lit up. “There is a way but we need to continue gathering money for it!”
“What?!” Ken and Neil were speechless when they heard that they needed to gather money again. They spent a lot of effort to
come up with the previous two hundred million and it would be very difficult for them to gather money again now.
“How much? We wouldn’t be able to do anything if it’s a huge sum! jackie is not a womanizer or we could have utilized that!” Ken
was quiet for some time before he asked.
Ivan replied. “Not really. This time, we only need to gather one hundred million. With the three of us here, both of you will be in
charge of thirty million each and I will come up with forty million. After we’ve gathered one hundred million, we just need to find
someone to lie to jackie about having a father who’s very sick and bring him to the island.
Ken said in realization, “I understand what you’re trying to do here. Many people went to sought after jackie’s treatment and this
guy was very annoyed by these people. So he set a rule where people needed to pay him one hundred million for each
treatment. Although he set a high price, there are still many who are going to him for treatment and he’s earned quite a bit from
this!”
Neil continued in agreement, “Yes, we can use this as an excuse to get him to leave the city and come to the island to carry out
treatment!”
They went on separate ways to gather money after they ended their discussion.
...
At the same moment, Fiona was extremely happy in the Taylor family villa.
“Oh my, this son-in-law of mine is such an amazing person. He helped treat someone again today and earned one hundred
million. Tsk tsk, these businessmen are really afraid of death. Once they are really sick, they will spend money to ask my son-in-
law for treatment, no matter how expensive it is!”
Right now, Fiona was incredibly satisfied with jackie. She felt that there was only one son-in-law in this world who was such a
capable person. He was not only a great fighter, he also had great medical skills and earned a lot of money.

The most crucial point was that jackie was a very generous person. He gave Fiona, Joan, Ben, and Andrew one hundred million
each to spend as they pleased.
“Of course. I knew that my son was not a simple person!” Joan’s face was filled with a huge smile. jackie had finally excelled and
she had nothing else to worry about for the rest of her life. She planned to spend her life in peace here and wait for the day
where she got another grandchild.
Putting everything else aside, jackie was a person who nobody in Eastfield dared offend.
She even discovered that Neil and Ken, who used to crave for Selena, seldom caused them trouble recently. Michael Wilson had
died and everything was developing in a better direction.
“Of course, of course!” Now that Fiona was rich, her hatred for jackie had ceased. Every time she attended gatherings with other
rich madams, she praised jackie for his ability and how capable her son-in-law was. This change caused jackie, Joan, and others
to be slightly dumbfounded.
At this moment, a pretty bodyguard walked over and spoke to jackie. “Master, somebody is looking for you and they are waiting
for you in the private room located on the second floor of the Confidante Cafe! They are asking for you to go over now!”
Chapter 873 ”They’re looking for me?” jackie frowned. Why did they not come over here if they were looking for him? Why act
mysterious when he had already reached the opposite street?
Although he wondered what was going on, jackie still nodded and walked over.
Soon, jackie reached the second floor of the Confidante Cafe.
Just as he reached the second floor, he discovered several men in black suits standing in a row energetically.
One of them walked forward and bowed slightly when they saw jackie. “Young Master jackie, please come in. We’ve been
waiting for you for some time!”
“Young Master jackie?” jackie’s face darkened. After pausing for a moment, he followed behind the other party and walked
toward the private room in front of them.
The entire second floor was obviously booked by the other party and apart from the person in this room, there was nobody else
there.

jackie opened the door and entered the private room. An old man with white hair sat there cross-legged.
The old man immediately stood up and bowed respectfully when he saw jackie entering the room. “Young Master, our family is in
grave danger. The master is asking for you to return and uphold the situation!”
jackie laughed when he heard this. “I was wondering who it is. Who knew that it’s somebody from the White family!”
jackie started getting agitated as he spoke. “This is ridiculous, you guys ignored me and my mother because I was an illegitimate
child. They want me to go back now that my position has changed and they know that I’m the exclusive doctor of the Nine Great
Gods of War? You people are shameless!”
jackie still clearly remembered how he knelt outside of the White family mansion five years ago when Joan was in grave danger
and needed one million for her surgery. It was raining and he knelt there for the entire night.
However, nobody from the White family paid any attention to him. The White family’s housekeeper even asked somebody to hit
and humiliated him before driving him away.
If it was not due to the fact that he had the man’s blood in him and he could not change that fact, he would have returned and
punished the people of the White family.
“Young Master, it’s difficult to explain everything right now. You were always in the master’s heart but you cannot blame him for
not visiting you all these years!” The old man sighed. “After all, you too know that the White family is more influential now from
the help of White family madam. Her family provided the White family a lot of help...and...”
The old man wanted to say something more but jackie directly interrupted him. “You don’t need to say anything else as I’ve
already made up my mind. I am not going back so all of you can leave now. Tell Nash White to take it as though he never had a
son before and I will think of him as I’ve never had a father like him!”
jackie left after he spoke.
“Young Master...” The old man sighed as he totally understood jackie’s thoughts. jackie must have gone through lots of hardship
to be where he was now.
After all, the White family were the ones who mistreated this pair of mother and son.
Chapter 874 After jackie left, a young beauty in a white dress walked over from the opposite room.

“Miss, what should we do? You’ve heard the conversation we had just now. It would be very difficult to persuade the young
master!” The old man immediately saluted and said to the young lady in front of him.
The young lady smiled calmly. “That is quite normal. After all, he and his mother were kicked out after they were discovered.
After so many years, he has never received any care from the White family. It might be better if we found him earlier!” The young
lady smiled bitterly before continuing. “My attitude wouldn’t be any better if I was in his position and knew that my family only
came looking for me after they knew that I became the exclusive doctor of the Nine Great Gods of War!”
The old man also nodded and said, “However, we haven’t finished what we wanted to say before he left. Sigh, we can’t just give
up like this! Why don’t we visit his family and explain everything to them?!”
The young lady thought about it and said, “We’re not in a hurry, let’s wait for another day or two. Our appearance was too
sudden, let’s give him two days to digest things up. As for our next steps, I think that we can think of a way to meet Joan
tomorrow!”
The old man thought about it and nodded in recognition. “Miss, what you say makes sense. jackie doesn’t have a deep
relationship with our master so it’s normal for him to react this way. Maybe we can start by persuading Joan. After all, they were
once together and if she knows that the master is gravely ill, she might agree to us bringing the young master back with us!”
jackie soon went back to the Taylor family mansion with a dark expression on his face.
He was furious inwardly when he remembered how ruthless the White family was years ago.
“ jackie, what happened? You don’t look good! Did something happen?” Joan walked over worryingly and asked in concern when
she saw jackie’s dark expression.
jackie looked at Joan before comforting her with a smile. “Mother, nothing is wrong. Don’t you worry!”
“Alright, don’t pressure yourself too much. We’re quite rich now and it would be enough for us if we don’t simply spend it. We
have enough of everything and Selena’s company is growing quite well so there’s nothing to worry about!” Joan smiled. Although
jackie said that nothing was wrong, she could feel that something was bothering jackie and he just refused to tell her about it.
The next day, a young man came to jackie. “Miracle-working doctor jackie, please help my wife! She’s not going to make it. She’s
got a weird condition and is constantly feeling a pain in her chest. We’ve checked at other hospitals but none of them could give
a diagnosis!

“She’s in pain again today and it happens on an irregular basis. I would like for you to come with me and help take a look at my
wife’s condition!” The middle-aged man in front of jackie seemed to be worried.
“ jackie, why aren’t you on your way yet? You’re earning another one hundred million. Business is booming!” Fiona was ecstatic
when she heard this and said to the middle-aged man. “Don’t you worry about it, this son-in-law of mine can treat any condition.
Your wife will definitely recover after my son-in-law takes a look at her!”
“That would be great! I heard that jackie is a miracle-working doctor, that’s why I came here immediately!” The middle-aged man
nodded with a smile. “Doctor jackie, you won’t refuse my request, right? My wife is really waiting for you to save her life!”
“One hundred million, transfer it to me first and I will do my job! That is the rule!” jackie said indifferently.
“Don’t worry, money’s not an issue! Not an issue!”
Chapter 875 The middle-aged man immediately nodded.
“such alacrity. There was someone who tried to negotiate the price previously. We don’t accept any negotiation!” Fiona was
happy and immediately passed a piece of paper to the man. “Here are the details of the bank account and you can make the
transfer. Don’t you worry, my son-in-law is definitely certain. If he can’t cure your wife, he would definitely return this money to
you!”
The other party quickly made the transfer and drove jackie toward outside of the city.
“We’re not staying in Eastfield?” jackie was stunned and asked the man driving the car when he saw that they were leaving the
city.
“miracle-working doctor jackie, don’t you worry. We’ll still be in Eastfield. It’s just that both me and my wife like some quiet time to
ourselves so we built a small hut in a remote area outside of the city. We like to fish by the lake when we’re free!” The man
explained happily.
Soon, the man parked his car in front of a forest and said to jackie, “I’m sorry Doctor jackie but there’s no road in front of us and I
can’t drive-in. We can only park here and you’ll have to walk over with me. However, it’s not too far away. We’ll soon reach that
place after we go through these woods!”
“Alright!” jackie got out of the car with that man and smiled coldly in secret when he saw the situation around him.
This man was obviously lying.

He could also feel that this might be a trap.
However, he was too lazy to expose the other party. He followed behind the man and they soon walked through the woods,
reaching in front of a lake.
In front of them, there was a small wooden bridge that led to the island in the middle of the lake. They could vaguely see a small,
worn-out hut not far away from the middle of the island.
“I had no idea that you and your wife enjoyed living life like this!” jackie smiled. The man led the way in front and jackie followed
behind him as they crossed the bridge.
The man smiled embarrassingly. He walked forward while explaining, “Well, both my wife and I enjoy quietness as we were quite
tired of the hustle and bustle of the city. That’s why we found such a quiet place to rest at. Of course, we still constantly go into
the city to buy food and other necessities!”
They soon reached the small island.
After they reached a small patch of woods on the island, jackie stopped. “Come out, all of you, I’m not dumb! Since you’ve
chosen this place as your grave, I will definitely grant your wishes!”
“Doctor jackie, what are you talking about?” The middle-aged man turned around with a frowned and asked on purpose.
“stop pretending. There’s no wife of yours in that hut, am I right? Even if there is, that woman must also be an assassin who’s
going to kill me, right?” jackie laughed. “If you really visit this place often with your wife, then the place where you parked your
car would have visible tire marks. However, that place doesn’t look like any cars were parked there!”
“If that’s the case, you’ve realized since early on that something wasn’t right?” The middle-aged man laughed coldly. “You saw
that something wasn’t right but you still followed me. Tsk, tsk... You’re really confident in yourself!”
Chapter 876 jackie shrugged and said indifferently, “It so happened that I’m not in a good mood these few days. Since all of you
came on a suicide mission, don’t blame me for your death!”
jackie smiled. A dozen of people jumped down from the trees around him the moment he finished his sentence, surrounding
jackie.
“young man, you’re really quite smart to know that we’re here to kill you!” An old man said with a smile. “However, I don’t think
it’s a good idea that you’re so confident as we have quite a big group of people here!”

Clap! Clap!
Following the sound of people clapping, Neil and Ken also walked out from a patch of short shrubs.
“ jackie, you have no idea about this, right? You’re definitely dying today!” Ken smiled coldly. Ivan was occupied with something
at his company and it was a shame that he could not witness jackie’s death in person.
However, Ken promised Ivan that he would immediately send a photo of jackie being killed after jackie’s death so that Ivan could
share their happiness too.
“Oh I see, so it’s the both of you!” jackie glanced at them and rubbed his fists. “Great, I can kill the both of you too so that you
guys can stop causing me trouble all the time! I’ve been giving you so many chances but I had no idea that you guys still won’t
give up until today!”
“Haha... jackie, stop pretending. If my assumption is correct, you have been poisoned. You might have expelled the poison out of
your body, but I don’t believe that your body and combat abilities are not affected!” Neil smiled coldly and looked at the assassins
around them. “Right now, anyone around here might just be able to kill you! However, we employed this many people just to be
safe. Look how good we are treating you!”
“I’m afraid that all of you will be disappointed today!” jackie laughed, flipped his hands and several silver needles appeared.
“Oh my! Young man, you’ve learned how to use concealed weapons. It so happens that I know how to use this technique too!” A
woman started laughing coldly. “All of us here today are assassins at the top of the Southwest district killer list. Even if you have
three heads and six arms, it would be difficult for you to leave here alive!”
After the woman spoke, she waved her hand and several knives flew toward jackie.
jackie waved his hand and the silver needles in his hand flew out.
jackie’s needles were fast but the killers here today were not weaklings. Some of them immediately took their weapons out and
dodged the attack. Some of them moved to one side swiftly or bent backward to evade from jackie’s needles.
Many of jackie’s needles met the woman’s flying knives and all concealed weapons fell to the ground.
However, the man who led jackie here, a Clark family’s bodyguard, was punctured by several needles in his head. He fell to the
ground and died.

Neil and Ken were quite terrified when they saw the fight had already started. They had a dozen bodyguards with them even
though they were standing quite far away from jackie. They subconsciously stepped several meters away before standing still.
“This guy is really good!” The female assassin spoke coldly after she saw how jackie managed to block her flying knives even
though they flew at him at such a tricky angle.
“Let me try!” A bald man, who had a huge hammer in his hand, suddenly jumped up and smashed the hammer at jackie with
both hands.
“Humph!” jackie flipped his hand when he saw the man jumping down and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
Chapter 877 ”Oh my god, that ring is a treasure! I heard a rumor that there were rings that could store things and that these rings
were treasures! The ring in this guy’s hand is definitely a priceless treasure!” The old man who was second on the killer list could
not help but started exclaiming and his eyes turned red.
He rushed toward jackie with his sword after he spoke as if he was afraid that people would beat him to it.
“it’s a treasure but I’m afraid that you won’t be alive long enough to use it!” jackie smiled and moved. He was so speedy that he
disappeared.
When jackie appeared again, he was already next to the old man, and the sword in his hand speedily broke the sword in the old
man’s hand.
“What!” The old man was stunned and started exclaiming. jackie acted too quickly and the sword in jackie’s hand was not a
usual sword. The sword was an incredible treasure that was incredibly sharp and could cut through iron like it was mud!
After a wave of wind blew through them, jackie stopped moving. The old man was cut into two halves with one swift motion.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the old man was definitely dead.
“What?” As jackie killed the old man who was second on the list, the man who jumped up previously smashed down with his
hammer. He originally thought that jackie would not be able to avoid his attack.
He had no idea that jackie was fast as lightning and managed to avoid his attack in such a short period of time, causing him to
miss his attack.
“How’s that possible?! Hades is dead!” The remaining assassins were extremely confident but after they saw the old man,
second on the killer list, dead, their faces turned pale.

The man in front of them now appeared scary and was definitely not a simple person. They were thinking that one of them could
easily kill him but it seemed that it would be difficult for a group of them to even kill him.
“How’s that possible?! One of them died! This old man seems to be the second place on the killer list, Hades!” Neil was slightly
afraid when he saw this scene. jackie’s combat skills seem unaffected by the poison.
On top of that, he was not only unaffected, his combat skills also seemed stronger than what they anticipated.
“Ah!” A middle-aged man gritted his teeth and rushed toward jackie. “Tiger fist!”
The man yelled loudly and punched. A scary wave of air rushed over and his punch sounded like a soft tiger growl.
At this moment, jackie saw an illusory tiger rushing toward him.
“Humph!” jackie waved his sword and a scary wave of sword air appeared.
The tiger disappeared and the scary wave of sword air broke one of the middle-aged man’s arms.
“Ah!” the middle-aged man could not bear the pain and yelled out loudly. His face was pale like paper and the veins on his
forehead popped.
“F*ck, how can this young man’s attack be so scary! He can actually kill someone with just sword air?!” This time, these
assassins once again felt threatened, threatened by death.
Chapter 878 These bodyguards, who were extremely strong and have killed many people were actually afraid at this moment.
After all, the combat power of an assassin second on the list was not something to be exaggerated. However, that person was
easily killed by jackie.
With two more waves of the sword, two of the men who had lower rankings on the killer list were killed.
“All of us attack together!” the man with the hammer stepped forward once again and rushed toward jackie.
This time, jackie did not give the man any opportunities. He disappeared in a flash and suddenly appeared behind the man’s
back, swinging his sword at him.
The man only saw a flash in front of his eyes and jackie disappeared. Following jackie’s disappearance, a sense of crisis, which
caused his scalp to turn numb appeared and it frightened him.

He wanted to turn and fight back but it was too late. The sword flashed and the man fell to the ground.
jackie continued to wave his sword and the sword air rushed toward the enemies, killing several.
“Sh*t, we are not this guy’s opponent. It’s impossible for us to go near him with all his sword air!” One of the assassins was
almost in despair. After just a short moment, eight of them were dead and the rest of them were not even close to touching
jackie.
“Run, this guy’s combat power is comparable to that of a God of War!” The man, first on the killer list, wanted to turn around and
run.
Unfortunately, jackie did not give them the opportunity to do so. He killed them with several swings of his sword and the
assassins fell to the floor with a look of horror in their eyes.
“Im-impossible! How...how is this possible?! These dozen people are masters on the killer list!” Neil and Ken were in disbelief.
The twenty-plus bodyguards they brought over were so frightened that their legs turned into jelly.
“it’s your turn!” jackie laughed and walked toward them, one step after another.
“Attack! Attack him! Stall him!” Ken was so frightened that he yelled at his bodyguards while he turned around and was ready to
escape.
“Run!” Those bodyguards were extremely afraid. There were so many masters there and none of them were jackie’s opponents.
How could they, normal bodyguards, be jackie’s opponents?
jackie smirked coldly and soon caught up with these people. He killed Ken and the rest on the spot.
Chapter 879 jackie flipped his hand and hid the needles in his hand as he looked at the enemies’ bodies on the floor. Ken and
Neil had been scheming against him. He had already provided them with several opportunities but they were still obsessed with
getting him so they can not blame it on him.
It was a good thing to kill these opponents as it would guarantee him a peaceful life in the future.
However, jackie was wondering why both Ivan and Xena did not come over. It would have been better if the both of them came
over as this would prevent him from any other worries if he killed them too.
Especially Xena, who poisoned him previously. If she was here, jackie would not have shown her any mercy.

...
At this moment, an old man was smiling indifferently inside a courtyard house and cupped his hand at Joan. “Greetings my lady,
I’m the White family’s current butler. We invited you here today in hopes that both you and the young master can return to the
White family. The family is in danger right now and the master is gravely ill...”
The young woman by the old man’s side also spoke up. “Yes, auntie... After all, jackie is the master’s son and we hope that he
can acknowledge his family!”
Joan started smiling coldly when she heard what they said, “How did you people treat us previously? You are hoping my son will
go back now that he’s had some achievements?”
Joan’s eyes turned red as she spoke. “Do you guys know how I survived all these years with jackie? Do you guys know how
hard our lives were?”
“Auntie, how...how could that have happened? Didn’t the master ask people to send you guys one million every year? Although
it’s not a lot, it should be sufficient for you guys to live a comfortable life, right?” The old man frowned. He knew that one million
was a small amount for the White family but it was definitely sufficient for normal people to live a comfortable life.
“What? One million?” Joan was stunned and disbelief was written all over her face. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Since
when did Nash White give us one million every year? We’ve never received anything! When I was sick previously and needed
one million for my surgery, jackie knelt in front of the White family mansion for the entire night. As a result, he was insulted and
hit by a group of people led by a woman. We were even asked to leave!”
“A woman?” The old man was startled and immediately said, “Auntie, we had no idea about this. As the White family’s butler, I
didn’t know that something like this happened!” He paused here and finally spoke in realization. “No wonder jackie had such a
strong attitude when we met him yesterday and refused to follow us back home. There’s a huge misunderstanding between us!”
“You didn’t know this? The woman said that she did it under the orders of the butler and master. She asked jackie to go away
and even called him a b*stard child...” Joan was also surprised and immediately replied.
“I get it now!” The old man curled his hands into fists. “It must be that woman, Lily Lagorio. She’s such an intolerant person and
does such terrible things. The master still asked someone to send you money although he did not have much power in the White
family and dared not fetch you guys back because he was afraid of the Lagorio family. It seems that Lily must be the one who did
this bad deed!”

“This woman...” Joan smiled coldly. “She bullied us mother and son years ago.” Joan continued speaking. “This is quite funny to
me as Nash White never came looking for us for so many years. Why did he come now? Apart from that, he was afraid of the
Lagorio family years ago but he wanted their help to make the White family a reclusive aristocratic family. Why? Is he not afraid
of them anymore?”
The old man smiled bitterly and spoke helplessly, “The Lagorio family was quite strong previously and provided the White family
with a lot of help. However, now that the White family has already become a reclusive aristocratic family, the Lagorio family lost
many masters in a big fight after they offended another family. The Lagorio family status has now declined!”
“because he’s not afraid of the Lagorio family now, he wants to admit that jackie is his son?” Joan laughed coldly. “He’s a coward
who caused jackie so much suffering. jackie wouldn’t have to go to the battlefield if he didn’t need to save me. Luckily my son
survived all of this. If not, jackie would have died on the battlefield and I won’t have the chance to see my son again! I’m not
forgiving Nash White so easily!”
Chapter 880 ”Madam, you can’t blame it on the master as he had his own difficulties. As the White family master, he had to
consider the best for the entire family! Apart from that, he did arrange for one million to be given to you every year and nobody
here knew about the incident where your son knelt outside the house for an entire night!” The old man spoke anxiously. “Hence,
it must be that woman, Lily Larogio, who asked her worker to lie to you, creating such a huge misunderstanding between us!”
The young woman thought about it and also said, “Auntie, it’s fine if you don’t want to forgive the master. However, the master is
dying and I really hope that you will go back with the young master to visit him. Think of it as your chance to pay your last respect
to the master. Master has been mumbling your name every day. I believe that he would come to meet Young Master jackie if he
can get out of bed now!”
“Are things that bad now?” Joan was slightly worried when she heard what the young girl said. After all, she once loved Nash
and he was undeniably jackie’s father.
Joan was not worried when she heard the old man say that Nash was seriously ill. She knew that the White family was now a
reclusive aristocratic family. This meant that they had plenty of great subordinates and masters with them. Nash would be easily
treated even if he was sick. However, it seemed to be a serious problem that could not be easily solved.
“The master’s condition is quite serious. We employed many well-known doctors previously but nothing has worked!” The young
lady smiled bitterly and continued speaking. “Now, the master’s only hope is for Young Master jackie to return and inherit the
White family’s properties. He hopes that the both of you can forgive him for his incompetence years ago and his inability to take
care of you!”

“Inherit the properties? Didn’t Lily have a son with him? Why does he need jackie to return and inherit the family properties?”
Joan was surprised and felt that things had grown increasingly complicated.
Apart from that, it was impossible for Lily to let jackie inherit the White family properties according to her character as she was
Nash White’ wife.
The old man smiled bitterly before speaking, “He went into an unknown forest with several young masters from other families, he
never returned after. We think that he might have been eaten by the beasts in the forest!”
“How’s that possible? Didn’t you guys send anyone over to try and find him?” Joan was extremely surprised. Nash and Lily had
only one son and they must be extremely upset if he was dead.
No wonder Nash wanted jackie to return and inherit the family’s properties because Lily and his only son was deemed dead.
“Alright, I’ve understood what is going on and I will explain everything to jackie. However, I’m not sure what his decisions are but
I will honor whatever he decides!” Joan thought about it and said.
“We’ve rented this house for one week. If jackie is willing to follow us back, he can come over anytime within this week!”
Chapter 881 The old man thought about it and spoke to Joan again. “One of the doctors said that the master cannot live more
than three months with his current condition. Hence, no matter what, we hope that you can be there within three months.”
The old man passed a name card to Joan after he spoke.
“Alright!” Joan took the card, glanced at the address on it, and finally left.
After Joan left, the young woman asked, “Butler, do you think that jackie would go over?”
The old man smiled bitterly. “I’m not sure about that. However, I believe that since Joan took the name card, she would try to
convince jackie. Sigh, what to do... The White family owes them too much and I can understand no matter what decision they
make!”
The young woman frowned after she thought about it. “However, Madam Lily would be unhappy if she knew how we are trying to
get jackie to come back. That woman looks happy all the time but I’m afraid that jackie would be in danger once he returns to the
White family!”

The old man started frowning too. “That is quite a big problem. However, the great and the other elders would be on jackie’s side
as they are respectful toward the master’s words. The elders from the Lagorio family who stayed and worked for the White
family, however, would have a hard time agreeing to it! But since the great elder and the others are very powerful, it wouldn’t be
a problem. They would be able to suppress whoever that disagrees!”
The young lady nodded. “I really hope that jackie can go back. There must be something special about him as he could grow up
independently in the outside world on his own. Apart from that, he even got the Nine Great Gods of War to join his wedding. That
is proof of his capabilities!”
“Yes, he has really good medical skills. I wonder if he can treat the master after he returns!” The old man smiled bitterly after he
spoke. “Although I think it is very difficult and even if he’s capable, he might not agree to help do the treatment. However, we
have a little more hope if he’s going back. Apart from that, I’m afraid that Lily would not let him off the hook even if he doesn’t go
back!”
“How’s that possible?!” The young woman gaped in disbelief. “Although Lily hated Joan and the master for having a bastard child
but both of them never went back all these years. They never wanted to fight for the White family’s properties. They’ve already
left to such a small town and Lily still won’t let him go?”
“Previously, the Lagorio family was an indispensable power to the White family and the maiden family was the support for Lily.
His son would also definitely inherit the White family master!”
“Now that the Lagorio family is out of the question and the White family has grown stronger, do you think Lily would remain calm
especially when her son has disappeared? Although everybody is still searching for him, he’s been gone for one month and it’s
quite obvious that he’s dead. So, if jackie returns, he would definitely be the candidate for the next master!” The old man smiled
coldly. “This time, we sneaked out but we cannot let Lily know why we came out. We will be in the clear after we’ve brought the
young master back! After all, it will be difficult for Lily to make a move as there are so many people observing and the great elder
will be protecting the young master!”
“Unfortunately, jackie refused to go back. If he doesn’t go back and the master dies after two to three months, the White family
would be in chaos!” The young woman thought about what would happen to the White family and was incredibly worried. “Oh
my, the White family worked so hard to become a reclusive family, we can’t have an internal fight just because there’s no leader!”
The old man shook his head helplessly. “So the both of us have a very huge responsibility this time. Sadly, we cannot stay here
for a long time or it would cause Lily to grow suspicious and I’m afraid that she would come looking for us!” The old man paused
before continuing speaking. “Especially when jackie’s wedding stirred the entire Daxia. Although reclusive families like us and

the Gin City’s ten great families don’t pay much attention to these Gods of War, I’m afraid that Lily would learn about how jackie
got the Nine Great Gods of War to attend his wedding!”
Chapter 882 The young woman nodded and said, “After all, this proves that Young Master jackie is not a useless but promising
person. The great elder and the others would definitely stand by jackie’s side and this would increase their determination in
supporting jackie. On the contrary, this would give more reason to that prudent woman, Lily, to target jackie!”
“Alright, I hope that Joan can convince jackie as there’s a small possibility of us doing that. Joan is his mother and there might be
hope for her!” The old man finally said.
...
It was in the afternoon and Ivan was done with his work. Even Xena came over to fetch him.
Ivan could not help himself but to speak after the both of them stepped out of the office. “This is weird, it’s already six in the
evening but why hasn’t Ken and the others call me yet? Apart from that, didn’t I ask him to immediately send me a photo after he
killed jackie?”
“Could it be that they’ve met with some accident?” Xena frowned and made a guess.
“How’s that possible? jackie’s poisoned and although we don’t know why he’s still alive, his body wouldn’t be as good as it once
was!” Ivan said directly. “Apart from that, those assassins are the top twenty on the killer list. Although they are just in the first
twenty range of the Southwest killer list, they are extremely good and should be enough to kill jackie. You didn’t hear what the
killers said. Some of them said that they can handle it alone and we were being too cautious for getting so many of them!”
“If that’s the case, Ken must have forgotten to send you photos. They might have gone out celebrating with drinks after they saw
that jackie was dead?” Xena thought about it and made another guess.
“They went celebrating?” Ivan was stunned and felt that it was possible. He soon took out his cellphone and called the other
party.
Sadly, neither Ken nor Neil answered his call.
“Could they have gotten drunk cause they were too happy?”
Ivan finally smiled bitterly. “Why don’t we go have a look at the small island?”

“Do we need to go over? I’m afraid to go to that sort of place so late at night. What if it gets too dark?!” Xena pulled Ivan’s sleeve
and showed an expression of being a timid woman.
“Why are you afraid? There’s nothing to be afraid of. Let’s go and take a look. jackie’s body might still be on that island!” Ivan
smirked.
Both of them drove out of the city and the sky slowly darkened. They could still see clearly before it turned totally dark, the both
of them walked through the woods and reached the island.
“How’s that possible?! There are so many bodies here! Ivan, let’s leave!” Xena was frightened after she saw the bodies of the
killers on the island.
“Damn it! Weren’t these killers good? These are the bodies of the killers! Where’s jackie’s body?!” How could Ivan give up when
he already came over?
He continued his search but the deeper he went, the darker his face grew. “Damn it! I don’t see jackie’s body!t These are all the
bodies of the assassins and Ken’s bodyguards. How’s this possible?! Ken and Neil are both dead too!”
Ivan was so frightened that he had cold sweat on his forehead after his search.
It turned out that Ken and Neil were not out celebrating with drinks. It turned out that they were both killed along with the killers
by jackie alone.
“ jackie’s combat ability is so strong?” Xena was also extremely frightened as jackie was too scary.
Chapter 883 ”Is this guy really just a doctor?” Ivan walked out, leaving the island with Xena. She thought about it and lit a fire,
burning the entire island.
“We cannot leave any traces or the Clark family master and Hugo family master would come looking for me after they read the
messages on their phones!” Ivan thought about it and continued saying, “If they knew that their sons were killed after we came
up with the money to employ assassins to kill jackie, both masters would blame their son’s death on me!”
“That’s right. Especially since the Hugo family master never wanted Neil to mix around with you. He might question you if he
knew his son died!” Xena also nodded and said.
“Oh yes, don’t tell anyone anything about today. Alright?” Ivan thought about it and reminded Xena after they reached their car.

“Don’t worry. I’m not dumb, I won’t tell anyone anything!” Xena smiled and the both of them soon drove off.
“We lost more than two hundred million and jackie is still alive. We’re in so much trouble now, this guy is too good!” After they
reached a hotel, Ivan and Xena ordered some takeout. They also opened a bottle of wine and Ivan drank several mouthfuls.
He was still slightly afraid when he recalled the ground full of bodies.
“Yes, jackie has a really strong combat ability, and he’s hiding it so well!” Xena nodded and wiped the cold sweat on her
forehead. “Luckily, the both of us did not go over that night. If we did and jackie knew that we had something to do with
employing those assassins, he would have definitely killed us!”
“Yes, luckily an emergency came up at the company and I needed to be there. If not, our death would have been certain!” Ivan
drank another mouthful of wine and suddenly spoke with a frown on his face. “Do you think that both Ken and Neil identified us
both before they died? Or would they have said our names by accident and jackie knows?”
Xena took a sharp inhale after she heard Ivan and replied nervously, “Ivan, what should we do? jackie is a straightforward guy,
would he kill us if he knows that we’re involved?”
“I don’t think so. After all, he doesn’t have any evidence and we weren’t there. We can just say that Ken and Neil were making
things up!” Ivan thought about it and continued. “Apart from that, we’re all Taylors and jackie cannot kill us because of guesses or
lack of evidence. Isn’t he afraid of the old master questioning him later?”
“It seemed to be the case but...” Xena’s face paled and she pursed her lips. “I...I’m still slightly afraid!”
“What are you afraid of? Come have some wine and food!” Ivan poured Xena another glass of wine and they cheered each
other.
The next morning, several middle-aged women and men arrived at Eastfield.
“I had no idea that we still needed to come back to this place again. It’s been a long time!” One of the men had a cold curl on the
corners of his mouth. He had a sword on his back with an arrogant manner.
“The old man of the Taylor family is really clever. He actually used someone to replace the actual target.” Another woman also
started laughing coldly. “I want to see how they protect that young guy’s wife this time around!”
Chapter 884 ”Sigh, this is so troublesome. The old master said that he feels bad as we caused the Gold family to be ashamed so
we need to go over early in the morning and have lunch with them. This means that we would need to meet jackie and Selena

again!” It was morning and Ivan was speaking impatiently as he stepped out of the hotel.
Xena, who was by his side, commented, “Especially Fiona, she has been showing herself off now that their family’s rich. It’s as if
she’s afraid that other people don’t know how rich her family is. She buys branded bags and lots of clothes every day. Does she
think she can manage to wear all of them?”
Ivan was speechless when he heard Xena’s jealous words. If Xena was rich, she would be acting the same as Fiona did.
At this moment, jackie and the others were already taking a stroll at the Taylor family mansion.
Although the Gold family master, Kelly, and other gold family members were unhappy about what happened the other day, they
still smiled happily when they saw jackie. They did not show their anger, instead, there was a feeling of deliberate flattery. They
obviously knew how scary jackie was. How could they offend a man who earned 100 million for every person he treated?
They even knew that Selena’s new company was growing well. With its current development, the company would surpass the
original Taylor family’s company. If that was the case, the Taylor family would definitely become a first-class aristocratic family
soon.
They might even surpass the Drake family after two to three years.
Under such circumstances, how could they still offend jackie and Selena?
They could only please them and not offend them. After all, they were members of the Taylor family and were considered the
Gold family’s relatives. Would they not be making their lives difficult if they did not please such powerful relatives?
Cecilia’s face darkened when she saw how the Gold family master, Kelly, and others were chit-chatting happily with jackie.
However, she knew clearly that she could not do anything even though she was secretly unhappy.
At this moment, several young people arrived at the Taylor family mansion’s entrance.
“Master Taylor, Old Master Taylor, get out here!” One of the men yelled loudly after he arrived at the entrance.
“Who’s that? How dare you cause trouble here? Are you suicidal?” Two of the bodyguards who were guarding the door
immediately walked over angrily when they saw how wanton this person was.
Everybody in Eastfield knew to not offend and cause trouble with the Taylors because of jackie.

The two men and two women in front of them were suicidal for being so arrogant in front of them.
However, the man smiled coldly and pulled his sword out. He rushed forward and attacked both bodyguards. Both bodyguards
directly covered their necks and fell to the ground.
Chapter 885 ”Who’s that? How dare they cause trouble at our Taylor family mansion!” jackie, Theodore, and the others who were
taking a stroll in the yard walked over.
Theodore was the Taylor family master so he naturally walked in front. The old master, jackie, and the others followed behind
him.
“there’s quite a huge number of people!” The man laughed before speaking. “Years ago, didn’t we ask for a young man from the
Taylor family who reached the age of 18 to join the war? Why did I receive news that the bastard Ivan is still alive?”
“Who are you people? What does the internal affairs of our family have to do with all of you?” Theodore frowned when he heard
this. The four people in front of them were not simple people. He was worried, especially when he saw how speedy the man who
attacked their bodyguards was.
“how about you? Who are you?” The man on the opposite end did not answer Theodore’s question. Instead, he smiled coldly
and said, “If I did not see wrongly, you’re the Taylor family master, right? I have no idea that you have already forgotten about us
after five years. Did you forget how your son touched my fiance’s butt when I was not around years ago?”
“You...You are from Gin city?” Theodore’s face turned pale when he recalled what happened years ago and inhaled deeply.
Years ago, these people gave Ivan a beating because he offended them.
However, they said that they would make Ivan regret what he did before they left.
Nobody knew that the country started enlisting soldiers for the war not long after and the Taylor family was appointed a quota. It
so happened that the only person in the entire Taylor family who fulfilled all the conditions was Ivan Taylor.
The Taylor family knew at that moment that the people who came from the Gin City were people they could not afford to offend. If
not, why were they so powerful?
“that’s right. If we didn’t know that your family is famous now because you have a son-in-law who married into your family and is
someone who can get all the Gods of War to attend his wedding, we wouldn’t have known that you people secretly swapped the
person who was supposed to join the war!” The man laughed. He pointed his sword straightforwardly and directly addressed

Theodore. “We were still young and not as powerful five years ago. We wanted to torture your family so we gave you face. We
only asked for Ivan to join the war and for him to die on the battlefield. We have no idea that you guys were so daring to ask a
son-in-law who married into your family to join the war. Today, surrender Ivan to us and let us kill him here. If not, don’t blame us
for killing your entire Taylor family!”
“Young man, you can’t blame us for what happened years ago, right? None of you specially assigned Ivan to be the one to join
the battlefield in the beginning! Apart from that, although jackie is just a son-in-law who married into our family but he’s also
considered as one of our Taylor family members. His age and other conditions fulfilled the requirement so we asked him to join
the army. We did not violate the regulations the government set!”
At this moment, Old Master Taylor could not bear it anymore and stepped forward. “None of you said that Ivan must join the
army. If the government appointed Ivan and he must join the army, we would have definitely let him serve the country. Hence, I
hope that all of you would stop looking into this. jackie also served the country well and killed many enemies leading to his
achievements today!”
“old man, f*cking stop acting dumb. Although we did not appoint Ivan but the only person in your family who fulfills the conditions
is Ivan Taylor!” The man gritted his teeth and said angrily. “Do you think that we are dumb? A son-in-law who married into your
family is considered as a member of your Taylor family? A son-in-law who married into your family isn’t considered as a member
of your family! He’s an outsider!”
Chapter 886 ”Young man, you can’t say that. To us, jackie is not an outsider but one of our family members because he gets
along well with us!” Theodore laughed. He was slightly more confident when he recalled how jackie had very strong combat
abilities and even marshals were not his opponent. Although he had no idea which powerful families these people were from, he
still spoke straightforwardly. “Young man, we won’t fuss over how you killed our bodyguards just now. Please leave!”
“what a joke! We came from far away and you expect us to leave just because you asked us to?” Another man also laughed and
walked two steps forward. “Today, you have to hand Ivan Taylor over to us and the guy who dared to go on the battlefield in
place of Ivan has to kneel in front of us and apologize for what he did. We won’t accept anything less!”
“You...you are saying that you only need the both of them to kneel and apologize?” Old Master Taylor started calculating the
situation secretly. These were people from Gin City and there were many masters there. Some masters stayed hidden and were
basically hermit crabs. Their combat power might be comparable to that of the Gods of War.
This was why the powerful people in the Gin City looked down on the Gods and Kings of War.

“Nonsense, we mean that we’re killing Ivan Taylor and the replacement guy only needs to kneel down to apologize!” The first
man, who was in white, smiled coldly and said angrily. “After all, the person who offended my fiance was Ivan Taylor and not that
guy. However, this guy also made a mistake by replacing Ivan Taylor to join the army!”
“About this...” Old Master Taylor frowned. “What do you think if we make it up to you with money? How does that sound? This
incident happened five years ago, can’t we just sit down and have a civilized chat?”
“do you think that we, from the Lambert family, are people that you can push around? Make it up to us with money? Do you think
that we are short of money?” The man once again started laughing loudly. “I’m giving you guys ten minutes. If you cannot hand
Ivan Taylor to me after ten minutes, don’t blame us for being ruthless. We will show you what real masters are by then!”
One of the women behind both men directly drew her sword and waved it across the air.
A wave of wind blew and a huge gap appeared on the branch of a plane tree not far away.
“What?!” The Taylors turned pale when they saw what happened. Which powerful family were these four people from? They
have never heard of the Lambert family but the family seemed to be a strong one from the way the opponents spoke.
The most crucial point was that jackie’s combat abilities did not seem comparable to this young woman.
After all, the woman could carry out such a scary attack without getting close to her opponent.
“Not bad, sword aura attack. You made sure it did not disappear after traveling such a long distance!” jackie glanced at the gap
and said calmly while smiling indifferently.
“you must be that young guy. Tell us, where did they hide Ivan Taylor? If you hand him to us, you won’t need to kneel and
apologize to us. The most crucial point is, your wife and your family members don’t need to die!” The woman looked at jackie,
laughed, and said. “You’re quite young. If you stay alive, there’s hope for you to obtain a certain breakthrough and become a true
master! However, I’m afraid that nobody here will survive if you don’t obey us!”
Another woman smiled coldly and said. “Now, you only have eight minutes left. Time is running out so make your decisions
swiftly!”
Chapter 887 ”Although I have the urge to hand him over to you but I better not as some people will be unhappy if I do that!”
jackie shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands as he spoke. “I’m afraid that you can’t kill anybody here. After all, my wife
and family are here. It’s impossible for me to just sit around and do nothing!”

“ jackie, what are you talking about? What do you mean when you say you want to hand him over? How can you have such
thoughts when you’re the son-in-law who married into our family, a member of the Taylor family?” Theodore was surprised when
he heard that jackie wanted to hand Ivan over. If that was the case, his son’s death was definite.
Theodore was still worried even though he spoke to jackie. After all, the group of four in front of him had already proved their
capabilities when they simply carried out an attack. That was not an easy thing to do.
“Guys, many...many of us here are from the Gold family and we’re not a member of the Taylors. We’re here today for a simple
lunch. Can we leave as your business with the Taylor family has nothing to do with us Golds?” The Gold family master
immediately stood to the opposite side and wanted to immediately sever all ties with the Taylor family when he saw that the
situation had escalated.
“That’s right, we’re not members of the Taylor family. You people cannot kill us as we are innocent!” Kelly and his bodyguards
immediately walked over and stood behind the Gold family master.
“I...I am also from the Gold family!” Cecilia thought about it before quickly running over to stand with the Golds as if she was
afraid that she would be dragged into what was happening.
“who knows if you people are really from the Gold family? What if you’re a member of the Taylor family but is pretending to be a
member of the Gold family?” The man who stood at the front was called Lucas Lambert. He smiled coldly and said. “Today, I,
Lucas Lambert, would not let anyone go. Now, all of you still have five minutes, make a decision!”
“There...There’s only four of you. Don’t make us angry! After all, powerful outsiders can hardly afford to neglect local bullies!”
Although they were afraid, one of the Taylor family’s bodyguards still gritted his teeth and said. “Apart from that, jackie and the
Gods of War are good friends, offending him means offending the Nine Great Gods of War! You’re on a suicidal mission!”
“Humph, I don’t believe that the Nine Great Gods of War would fight us if we kill such a doctor!” The man smiled coldly. He was
not worried although he was slightly fearful of the Nine Great Gods of War.
The opponent’s family was obviously very strong so they were not worried.
Theodore was secretly rejoicing that his son was not present. His son would still be able to escape even if these people could
not find Ivan and would kill them instead.
Hummm!
However, at this moment, a sports car drove over and stopped at the entrance.

“What’s going on? Why is this bodyguard dead?” Ivan and Xena came down from the car and were stunned.
“Ivan, run!” Theodore’s face turned pale and immediately exclaimed when he saw that his son had returned.
Chapter 888 ”Why run? Why do we need to worry when jackie is so strong? Apart from that, our Taylor family...” Ivan smiled
coldly and said without much care.
He had no idea the seriousness of what was happening.
“you’re back? Today is the day of your death!” Lucas Lambert turned around and looked at Ivan coldly. The coldness in his eyes
caused people to feel uncomfortable.
“You...You are...” Ivan originally had a smile on his face but his smile soon froze and his expression was replaced by horror.
Although it happened five years ago and this man had slightly matured over the years, Ivan still recognized him.
“Sh*t, they are from Gin City!” Ivan was extremely frightened. These people had so much power years ago, this meant that they
were from an influential family. They must be quite confident as they dared come looking for him.
He wanted to escape after he spoke.
The opponent waved his sword and a scary sword aura rushed toward Ivan.
“No!” Theodore yelled out loudly. He knew how scary this person’s sword aura was. He also knew that his son knew nothing and
was a normal person. If such an attack landed on Ivan, he would definitely die.
The Taylors immediately looked at jackie. At this moment, only jackie could help Ivan.
jackie was stunned as this was a good chance to kill Ivan. He had long wanted to kill Ivan but there was no suitable chance.
Apart from that, he did not make a move because he was afraid that Old Master Taylor and the others would be angry when they
found out.
It was best for these people to help him kill Ivan.
“Stop!” jackie did not hesitate although he had such thoughts. He yelled, jumped up, and rushed toward the opponents.
However, he controlled his speed. He could definitely save Ivan but because he did not intend to, he reduced his speed.

After all, sometimes life and death during fights between masters happened in the blink of an eye.
The sword aura blinked and arrived in front of Ivan.
“Ah!” Ivan was frightened. He pulled Xena, who was beside him, over and blocked himself.
Blood splattered everywhere as the scary sword aura landed on Xena’s chest. A scary cut appeared on her chest and blood
spluttered out.
“You...” Xena lowered her head to take a look before turning around and glanced at Ivan. She fell straight to the ground.
“I’m sorry!” Ivan turned around and was ready to escape.
“Bastard!” Ivan was secretly happy but had an angry expression on his face and he yelled loudly.
Another woman pointed her sword at jackie and blocked him.
jackie deliberately slowed down previously and he immediately stopped after the other party finally caught up with him. He
paused his movement and backed several meters.
The remaining three people directly rushed forward. They were quite speedy and caught up with Ivan within one to two seconds,
surrounding him in the middle.
Chapter 889
“What are you standing there for? Go save the young master!”
Theodore immediately yelled.
“Die!”
Many bodyguards from the Taylor family cried out and rushed forward.
“What’s going on?”
At long last, the ten beautiful bodyguards in jackie’s house—who was on the opposite side—noticed the ruckus that was going
on and rushed over as well.
“Let–let me go. I was wrong!”

Ivan was extremely frightened. His opponents were far too strong; he was no match for them.
“Just die!”
With his fiancée keeping jackie at bay, Lucas did not have an ounce of worry in him. He swung his sword and killed Ivan.
“No!”
Theodore cried out at the sight of his own son dying before his eyes. He fainted straightaway.
“Master!”
Many members of the Taylor family propped Theodore up.
Selena’s fists were clenched tight. She was worried.
jackie was gripped with anxiety when he noticed the Taylor family’s bodyguards and Orchid and the others rushing over. After all,
these four people were strong fighters—probably not as strong as the Gods of War, but almost.
“Don’t come over. You’re no match for them!”
jackie suddenly hollered. He flicked his wrist, and a black sword appeared in his grip.
He slashed his sword. The immense strength from the swing created a blade of pressurized air that flew toward the woman
before him.
“What!”
The woman, who was just about to leap forward, was stunned when she sensed the pressurized air blade. She quickly brought
her sword up.
The wind blade struck against her sword. Although she had managed to block it, the force still sent her flying backward for a
good few meters. She landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
“Pfft!”
The woman spat a mouthful of blood. Shock filled her eyes. “That man has such amazing strength and technique with the sword.
He knows how to harness inner energy from within!”

The other three had initially thought that jackie was no match for the woman. They had been prepared to kill the Taylor family’s
bodyguards, but they never expected that this scene would play out before them.
“You know all about inner energies, huh? Seems like you’re a better fighter than some of the Kings of War!”
Liam stared at jackie, finally looking as though he were taking the other man seriously.
Not many knew that some relied on brute force to bolster their fighting prowess—their physical strength and speed to boost their
attacks.
Of course, those who knew some techniques in martial arts were considered pretty good.
However, the truly outstanding fighters were the ones who knew how to use their inner energies. Once a person has mastered
their inner energy, their fighting strength would be multiplied tenfold. Additionally, it was necessary to use plenty of brute force—
so long as one had excellent control over his or her inner energy, their fighting prowess was extremely frightening.
Still, there were extremely very few people who knew how to harness their inner energy. No one expected jackie to be one of
them.
“I did tell you that it won’t be easy to kill my family!”
jackie chuckled. He leveled the sword at the person before him. “I will avenge Ivan and Xena!” he declared.
Theodore, who had just woken up, heard this, and gratefulness filled his heart. His son had always plotted against jackie, yet the
man was willing to let go of past grievances, for now, declaring that he would avenge Ivan and stand up against them.
“Yes, jackie. Avenge my son!”
Theodore stood up. He cried out, suppressing the pain that plagued his heart.
Selena felt a little at loss for words. She knew that jackie had wanted to kill Ivan long ago, and the only thing that was stopping
him was the fact that the man was her cousin. Evidently spewing those words went against his beliefs, but she did not expect
Theodore to actually buy them.
Yet judging from jackie’s furious, intimidating aura, she probably would have believed him too, if she did not know him.
Chapter 890
“Don’t go!”

Orchid, who was about to rush forward, immediately told Elaine and the others to stop when she heard jackie’s words.
She surmised that those four people were not any regular people. jackie would not have stopped them from going over
otherwise.
It meant that even if they went, not only would they not be of much help, they would probably be killed too.
Of course, it was not difficult for jackie to kill all four, but he had purposely slowed himself down so that he seemed like he could
not save Ivan. The Taylor family would seriously suspect him if he finished the four of them off quickly and easily now.
That was why he needed to control himself now. He would kill them, but he would make it seem as though it were a close call—
as though he were using all his skills and strength.
“Let’s come together and kill him! How dare he hurt Snow!”
The man named Lucas huffed.
Suddenly, the four surrounded jackie.
Still, jackie and the others did not know that an old man and a young woman were watching all this unfold from afar, nestled
safely in their car.
“Sir, should we go over to help the young master?”
The young woman furrowed her brows before asking the old man, “No mishap can fall upon Young Master jackie. The young
master might even harbor gratitude for us if we help him now, and he’ll probably agree to go back with us.”
“Let’s wait and see. He won’t be too happy if we help him now. After all, we don’t know if Joan has briefed him on the entire
situation!”
The old man flashed a bitter smile. “Besides, our young master still has the advantage. Maybe he can kill all four of them by
himself!”
The young woman’s eyes brightened ever so slightly when she heard that. “It would be fantastic if he can kill them alone. That
means that he’s a good fighter. He won’t be able to match the younger ones who’ve received training since young—like me—but
he’s able to grow so strong even without the ideal conditions at such a young age. It means that he has potential!”

Just as the two were discussing the matter, jackie had exchanged plenty of blows with the four of them. Then the opportunity
came, and he struck one of the women down with his sword.
“Layla!”
One of the men’s eyes began to redden. It was obvious that this woman was extremely important to him—that they were not just
friends.
“Ah!”
The man released a war cry and rushed toward jackie, obviously having lost all sense of control.
“Fantastic. He’s already killed one. Now there are only three left. With this, a lot of pressure will be taken off his shoulders.
Maybe he’ll be able to kill the other three too!”
Theodore’s bloodshot eyes immediately brightened when he saw one of them die. He felt elated at the sight.
“Ah!”
Yet Old Man Taylor released a sigh beside him. Although jackie had killed one of them, he still was not happy.
Still, in a deathmatch like this, he naturally hoped that jackie would emerge victorious and kill them all.
But he also knew that if jackie killed these four people, they would be provoking a powerful force from Gin City.
Chapter 891
Plenty of eyewitnesses had spectated the bloody fight between martial artists. The people from Gin City would surely investigate
the matter if those four people died, and they would find out everything that had transpired.
The Taylor family would be in big trouble then.
Selena noted the old man’s expression and said, “Grandpa, why are you sighing? It seems like jackie will be able to eliminate
them all!”
Fiona and the others also stared at him, confused.
“There are way too many powerful organizations in Gin City. Even if you eliminate the all-powerful Ten Families there, the
families that are slightly weaker than them are still plenty strong. The Lamberts are so strong, and their elders are all extremely

powerful. We’ll be offending a great power if they die!”
Old Man Taylor sighed and added, “But jackie has to kill them now, considering the circumstances. There’s no other way out of
this.”
The fight was just as intense as before, and it was not long until jackie slew the three remaining fighters.
“F—Fantastic.”
Theodore roared in laughter and ran to hug his son’s lifeless body. “Did you see that, Ivan? All the people who wronged you are
now dead. jackie avenged you!”
The White family butler—who sat in a car from afar—nodded with satisfaction. “The young master is truly a skilled fighter, able to
slay all four fighters. The master will be pleased once he hears about this.”
The butler then turned to look at the woman next to him. “ jackie is probably not as strong as you, but he has far more talent and
potential than any of you,” stated the butler. “After all, you’ve all received training at a young age, and only then did you manage
to grow into who you are now!”
The young woman was rather miffed at his words, but all she could do was nod. The butler had a point; she might have never
been able to do what jackie could if she was stuck in this mundane world.
Had jackie received resources provided by the family, he would have been much stronger—perhaps stronger than her.
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help out as much as I can if the young master truly returns. He is the only legitimate son of the master,
after all,” stated the young woman as she offered a wan smile.
A sigh then escaped the old man’s lips before he voiced his thoughts, “Ah, now I’m worried that jackie won’t go back. We’ve
done everything we can. There’s no helping it now.”
The young woman mulled over his words. “But jackie has provoked the Lambert family now, and he won’t be able to protect all of
his family now,” she said, frowning. “Who knows if he’ll return to the White family? If he does and chooses to use the forces we
have, he won’t have to worry about small fry like the Lamberts.”
The butler nodded at her statement. “It’s a possibility. I, too, hope that he can return to the White family and take his rightful place
as the pillar of our family.”

The two quickly drove off, and it was at this moment that Orchid and the others came before jackie.
“Master, those four were so strong yet were so young! Where were they from?” asked Orchid. Her brows furrowed as she looked
at the corpses of the four young fighters.
“Gin City. One of the men was called Lucas Lambert, and he’s probably from one of the powerful families there.”
jackie gave a mirthless smile and sheathed his sword.
Chapter 892
“They’re from Gin City? That’s troublesome... There are plenty of skilled fighters among the powerful families.”
Orchid’s expression turned grave when she heard that. “It’s a pity that they didn’t send all their experts when they started the
fight. We would’ve won a long time ago otherwise.”
“Quick, get rid of the bodies.”
Old Man Taylor instructed his subordinates to handle the bodies. People would instantly pick up the mayhem that went down the
longer it was left unresolved. It would be far easier for the Lambert family if they came here to investigate Lucas and the others’
deaths.
Old Man Taylor took a moment to himself as he sorted out his thoughts before he spoke to Theodore, “Ivan met his doom today
because of how he provoked them five years ago, Theodore. None of this would’ve happened if he hadn’t tried to fool around
with another man’s fiancée. I myself never thought that they’d come looking for him after all these years when they found out that
he wasn’t dead.”
Theodore’s eyes reddened as he nodded. “I understand, Father. I’ve told him so many times to control his actions, but he never
listened to me. Ah... jackie just killed all four people from the Lambert family. What should we do if their relatives come looking
for us?”
Old Man Taylor mulled over the situation for a while. “How about this: We’ll quickly bury Ivan’s body. There’s plenty of distance
between Eastfield and Gin City,” he suggested. “They won’t be here for at least half an hour. After we bury Ivan’s body, we’ll sell
off our fixed assets for cheap and leave Eastfield.”
Theodore feebly nodded, well aware that his father grew up and lived in Eastfield all his life—he had a deep attachment to the
city. If he spoke about leaving Eastfield, it meant that they were in a dire situation.

“No way! Are we really moving? Where should we move to then?”
Fiona frowned. It was evident that she was adamant to not leave her home.
Alas, they had wronged a terrifyingly powerful family, and they would probably be far safer if they left Eastfield.
“Let’s just do everything we need to do. I’m not that scared of the Lambert family, but we should prepare to leave... Just in case.”
jackie took out a cigarette and took a long drag out of it.
He knew he was powerful; he had nothing to fear.
However, he probably would not be able to handle it if the Lamberts sent too many fighters.
“Ah, what misfortune!”
Andrew sighed. “I’ll give Ben a call,” he said, “he needs to settle his cyber café as well.”
Joan was silent for a good while before she slowly walked toward Selena and jackie. “ jackie, Selena, let’s take a walk in the
garden,” offered Joan.
“All right, Mother.”
Selena’s brows knit tightly together, puzzled. She knew Joan wanted to tell them something important if she invited them for a
private talk.
Fiona instantly went up to them when she heard this. “What are you going to talk about, Joan? Can’t I listen to it too? I’m so
curious!”
Joan gave a bitter smile. “It’s not convenient for me to tell you any of this for now, Fiona,” she replied. “I’ll tell you everything
when the time is right, but right now, I just want to talk to jackie and Selena.”
Fiona’s face fell. “All right then... Jeez. We’re already family. Why can’t she just tell me? It’s not like I’m an outsider.”
Chapter 893
Joan could not be bothered with her. She took Selena and jackie to the center of the garden of their villa.

jackie began the conversation before his mother could, “Mom, did that old man and that woman come looking for you? Did they
tell you to say something to me?”
She smiled. “You’re right. You guessed it before I even said anything.”
“What old man? What woman?”
Selena was perplexed, clueless as to what they were talking about.
Joan turned toward Selena and said, “Selena, there’s something that we’ve never told you before. jackie’s father isn’t dead yet...
He’s still alive. His name is Nash White.”
“What?!”
Selena inhaled sharply, utterly shocked to the core, and it took her a long while to recover. “So now he’s back looking for jackie?”
blurted Selena. “Both of you knew long ago that he was still alive?”
Joan nodded her head. “How do we put this...? There are plenty of powerful associations in this world, like the Ten Noble
Families of Gin City. They’re considered plenty strong, right?”
Joan paused a good while to let that sink before she continued, “Yet there are even more terrifying forces in this world—far
stronger than the Ten Noble Families of Gin City. They’re the underground family clans. They usually don’t bother with us, since
they live so far removed from us. Not many even know about their existence.”
“No way... The Ten Noble Families of Gin City are already so strong, and you’re telling me that there are families even stronger
than them?”
Selena gulped. “Are you saying that jackie’s father is from one of those underground families?” she asked cautiously.
Joan’s lips curled into a mirthless smile. “That’s right. I didn’t know this before either. He was young back then, and he just
mingled with regular people for fun. We fell in love at first sight, being so attracted to each other. I thought that we’d live the rest
of our lives in bliss, but I found out that he had a very high position down the line, and—he didn’t tell me then—he had wives!”
Selena nodded. She stared at Joan as she attentively listened and waited for her to complete her story.
Joan resumed, “He wanted to make me his third wife, since he already had two others. I didn’t protest because I loved him, and I
agreed to the arrangement. After all, it wasn’t easy to find someone I truly loved...”

As Joan spoke, her eyes wandered into the distance as though she swam in her memories. There was a faint smile as she
spoke of Nash.
jackie noticed everything. He still hated Nash for how he offered no help and no sympathy at that time, but he knew that his
mother still had not forgotten him. She still cherished him in her heart.
Should jackie choose to not return, his mother would never again get the chance to meet him again.
At that moment, a tangle of emotions knotted his chest. He wondered if he was too selfish, that he did not have the capacity to
think of his mother.
“But why aren’t you two together then?” asked Selena, and there was a frown on her face.
“That’s because the White family wasn’t that strong back then, but they wanted to become a true underground family, to be a
first-class clan. He needed help from his first wife, who was from the Lagorio family.”
Joan flashed a bitter smile. “Lily Lagorio protested against our marriage...and Nash gave in to his parents’ and Lily’s demands.”
Chapter 894
“Really? I don’t know what to say about Nash White... Sure, he sacrificed a lot for his family, but he’s not a responsible father!”
Selena heaved a sigh after she heard that. “Mother, did Nash at least give you money when he told you to leave?” she asked
Joan. “Did he know that you were carrying jackie?”
Joan’s lips curved into a wry smile. “He never dared to tell Lily when jackie was born, but he did arrange a house for us. He’d
come and visit us from time to time and give us some money, but when jackie was about five or six years old, he finally mustered
up the courage to tell Lily everything... And she was absolutely livid. She, along with members of the Lagorio and White families,
came and chased us away. She told us to get away as far as we could.”
jackie’s expression hardened. “But after so many years, he managed to accumulate great power for himself,” explained Joan.
“He didn’t know where we went after we left, but I believe he could’ve found us very quickly if he wanted to. Sadly, he didn’t.”
A cold, bitter smile appeared on jackie’s face. “I went to the White family residence five years ago, when my mother needed one
million for her surgery, but I got nothing even after kneeling before them for an entire night. Instead, a butler came out and told
me that Nash White wanted me gone. They shamed me so badly. From that moment on, I told myself that I didn’t have a father
anymore.”

Joan took it all in. “I hated your father for a time too, jackie,” she said earnestly, “but I cleared up some matters with the old man
yesterday. Your father isn’t as heartless as you think he is.”
jackie was stunned for a moment before he asked, “What do you mean? Are you saying that he tried to look for us?”
“He didn’t, but that old man is the butler, and he said that your father always got his subordinate to give us one million dollars
every year. We, on the other hand, knew nothing about it.”
Joan gave a bitter smile. “Besides, your father didn’t know anything that had happened that night,” she continued. “He didn’t
mean it. I guess that Lily knew about it, so she told everyone to keep it a secret. I suspect that she’s the reason why we didn’t
receive any money.”
“What a dangerous woman!”
Only then did jackie realize that it was all a series of grave misunderstandings.
“If he got someone to give you money every year, it seems like your father still loves and cares for you. He probably was
helpless among his own family.”
Selena’s expression crumpled as she was overwhelmed with emotions. She never imagined that jackie’s father was still alive,
that they had such a long history behind them.
“So you’re telling me that the fat woman who came out when I knelt before that entrance wasn’t a butler for the White’ family?”
jackie went silent, unable to comprehend the situation, as he pondered. “But that old man told me to go back that day,” he said,
“something about monitoring the overall situation. I don’t even know what he’s talking about.”
“This is what happened: The Lagorio family got into a fight with someone from another family, and many of their men were either
killed or injured. Their power weakened. Instead, the White family has grown stronger,” Joan explained. “Your father took charge
in order to seize power for himself.
“Your grandparents are both dead, and your father is gravely ill. The butler said that he wouldn’t last three months, and he hoped
that you’d go back to see him. He even wishes for you to inherit the White family’s business.”
Chapter 895
“Me? Taking over their business? Not happening. The White family won’t agree to it. Lily has a son with him, and that woman
won’t let this happen even if it kills her.”

jackie was dumbfounded once more. “Besides, what illness could Nash possibly have? Can’t they just treat him, considering the
White family’s circumstances now?”
“I don’t know what illness it is, but all the butler told me was that your father would only last another three months.
“As for the White family, the elders and quite a few of their family members all want you to go back. Lily and Nash’s son went into
an uncharted forest along with the sons of other great families, but they never came back out. The White family even searched
for them extensively but never found them. They’ve probably been eaten by wild creatures.”
Joan gave a bitter smile. “You’re the only son Nash has now,” she said to jackie. “Of course he, along with members from the
White family, would want you back to take charge. Of course, Lily and the Lagorio family will probably make it hard for you, so
you’ll have to steel yourself should you choose to go back.”
jackie went silent. The seconds ticked past before he finally raised his head to look at his mother. “Mom, do you want me to go?”
he asked, tone serious.
She released a long sigh. “I’ll respect whatever decision you make, jackie,” conceded Joan. “After all, Nash never took care of
you all these years, and you two don’t have a strong father-son bond. Moreover, we don’t owe the White family anything.”
Yet, Joan then shifted in her stance as she continued, “But as your mother, I hope that you can go and see him. I don’t care if
you become the family head—it’s not that great of a job anyway. You might attract plenty of unwanted trouble. Still, he’s your
father, and he’s dying. I want you to go back and see him.”
Selena thought about the matter as well. “We’ve provoked a great family from Gin City now,” reminded Selena. “If jackie goes
back, it doesn’t even matter if he doesn’t become the family head—so long as everyone knows that he belongs to that family.
The Lambert family probably won’t do anything to us once they know this. They might just leave everything behind.”
Joan nodded at Selena’s speculation. “That’s right. I never thought of that, but now that you mention it, it makes sense!
“Oh, yes, that butler and the young woman will leave in five or six days. They asked me to tell you that you can return with them
if you want to. Of course, Nash still has three more months, so you have time to think about it. You can go later.”
“Let’s talk about it later then. I...I’m confused now. Let’s settle Ivan’s body first and sell whatever we can in this villa. We’ll
discuss the whole White family issue later.”
jackie sighed and took out a cigarette. He took a long drag out of the cigarette between his fingers.

He always thought his father was dead, but all of a sudden, the old man came and looked for him after so long. There was an
indescribable knot of emotions that tightened at his chest.
All of a sudden, Lana appeared and walked toward them. “ jackie, you’re here!” yelled Lana from afar when she spotted him. “I
want to talk to you about something!”
jackie met her half-way and noted the rather excited expression she had on her. “What’s going on?” he asked. “It must be
important if you came to see me yourself.”
Lana scanned her surroundings and noted that there were not too many people around. “A dragon’s scale appeared!” she said,
tone low. “It’s in Swallow City—not too far away from Gin City!”
Chapter 896
jackie got excited when he heard what Lana said. “Are you serious? A dragon scale?” he asked eagerly. “A real dragon scale?”
“Of course! It took me a long while to track the rumors down, but I don’t know who has it now. What’s important is that it’s made
its appearance!”
Lana was evidently excited as well. “It’ll be fantastic if you can get this, Master. After all...”
“Plenty of people will fight for something like that if it really appears out in public. It’s not very useful to the common person, but
it’s a treasure, nonetheless. There’s value in keeping it!”
jackie spoke, his emotions overwhelming him at that moment.
“We don’t know who has it, but Fernando lives nearby. He’s already gone there to help you look for it and claim it! We were afraid
that it’d be taken or moved if we didn’t do anything quickly,” commented the grinning Lana.
“All right, get him to investigate first. We must get the dragon scale. We’ll go there soon after!”
jackie nodded. “I’ve provoked the Lambert family from Gin City here. They’re not a huge force to be reckoned with, but they’re no
small fries either. The Taylor family needs to settle their fixed assets in these two days first, and only then will we set out.”
“Alright. I’ll follow along then!” chirped Lana, her smile still plastered on her face.
“You? Follow us?”
jackie was speechless. He did not know what to feel at that moment.

Lana rolled her eyes at him. “Just let me stay by your side, Master. I’ll be so bored if I don’t come along. Once you and Selena
leave this place, I have no reason to stay here anyway,” she spoke coyly.
jackie nearly wanted to faint at how that Goddess of War was acting; she never behaved that way before. He could feel
goosebumps on his skin.
Only after a good while did jackie relented, “Alright. Come along if you want to then, but you better find an excuse. If not, it’ll be
hard for the others to accept it if you come along!”
“An excuse?”
Lana frowned. “I’ll just come up with something,” she said, smiling. “I’ll just say that I’m tagging along like a vacation or
something!”
Her reasoning rendered jackie speechless, but he merely nodded his head since that reasoning was acceptable. “Alright. I’ll call
you when we leave.”
“Okay. I’m off then!”
Lana smiled and went over to say goodbye to Selena before leaving.
Selena walked over after Lana left and gave jackie a faint smile. “What did she talk to you about? She even wanted to talk to you
alone.”
“It’s nothing. She said she wants to come along with us for a holiday after she found out that we’ll be leaving. She heard that we
had run into some trouble here and asked if we needed any help,” jackie spoke in a casual tone, smiling.
“Really? That’s great! Lana is a God of War, so we’ll be a lot safer if she comes along. The Lambert family is pretty strong, after
all, and it’ll be troublesome if they find us.”
Selena was delighted when she heard this. “Oh, right. Have you thought about where we’ll go?” she asked jackie.
Chapter 897
jackie went silent for a while as he thought it through before he replied to Selena, “Swallow City.”
Selena instantly fretted at his reply, her brows furrowed with worry. “No, not happening. Swallow City? That’s not very far away
from Gin City! I thought we should be getting away as far as possible. It’ll be dangerous if we go to Swallow City!”

“I think the most dangerous place might be the safest for us. If we hide in plain sight, they might just miss us. Besides, there’s
something I need to do in Swallow City.”
jackie paused to let that sink before he added, “Plus, it’s close to the White family. It’ll be convenient if we choose to go back.”
At that, Selena’s lips slowly curled upward into a smile. His reply moved her so. “Really? That’s great! I could tell that Mother still
loves Nash White. Besides, you’re his son, and he’s dying. I hope that you can visit him. You’ll regret it if you don’t see him
before he dies. As for the whole issue about becoming the house head, well... I don’t really mind whatever decision you make.”
After all, she did not want jackie to live on with hatred festering in his heart. Furthermore, there were plenty of misunderstandings
between him and his father—all caused by Lily Lagorio.
“Oh, right,” Selena piped up. “Since you’re so skilled in medicine, why don’t you do a checkup on him? Maybe you’ll be able to
cure him.”
jackie nodded at that. “Don’t worry, I’m not heartless. I’ll go visit the White family after a while... But don’t tell Mom about my
decision yet.”
“Okay. I understand.” Selena nodded in acquiescence.
Afternoon came, and the Taylor family chose a plot of ground to bury Ivan and Xena.
...
The next day, Joan went to see the White family butler again. He told them that she had persuaded jackie as best as he could,
but jackie would make the final decision of whether or not he would visit the White family.
jackie would not follow them back for the time being, at least.
At the very least, both the butler and the young woman—Beth White—knew jackie would not visit for a few days. Afraid that Lily
and the others would suspect them for being absent too long, the two quickly headed back.
Unfortunately, they never noticed the people that spied from the shadows, and they found jackie.
Later that night...
jackie and Selena laid down on the bed, ready to sleep. The former scrunched his brows together and immediately sat upright.

“What’s wrong, jackie?” Selena was startled at his abrupt movement and stared at him, confused.
“Someone’s coming.”
jackie’s expression darkened and, in a blink of an eye, flickered into the shadows before leaping out of the window.
There were seven or eight men clothed in black who had just jumped over the fence, prepared to assassinate jackie and the
others. They never expected jackie to rush out and appear before them.
The black-clothed men stopped in their tracks. One of the older ones frowned. “Never thought that your senses would be so
acute,” he said, surprised. “You realized our presence as soon as we entered.”
“No way about it. I wouldn’t be able to protect my family if I didn’t know anything.”
jackie gave a frosty smile.
At that moment, Orchid and the others who were on patrol noticed the exchange and immediately ran over. “Who are you? How
dare you break into the Taylor family’s residence?!”
Chapter 898
“What’s your name again? jackie White, right? Your acute senses and keenness are rather impressive, you’ll still breathe your
last tonight!”
The old man chuckled and narrowed his eyes. Fists balled tightly, he ran full speed ahead and flickered right in front of jackie at
the next second.
“Oh, you’re fast!”
It surprised jackie—though only by a bit—when he noted that this old man’s combat prowess was equal with the four from the
Lambert family who came this morning.
There were not many elite fighters like this old man in this Eastfield, hence jackie immediately understood that these people were
most likely sent by Lily Lagorio.
After all, four from the Lambert family had just died this morning, and the Lamberts should not have known about the matter.
These men were not sent by the Lamberts.

There was only one explanation for this: Lily—the vicious and sinister woman—had somehow found out that the butler of the
White family and Beth had visited jackie and had her men tail them.
Moreover, he reckoned that the men before him knew where he was, though they might have feared that Beth and the butler
would discover them. They were afraid that Beth and the butler would intervene when they tried to kill jackie.
Thus, these men waited in the shadows as they waited for the right moment to strike—once Beth and the butler left. They
planned to end him tonight, once and for all.
jackie instantly grasped the situation in his mind. With his fist clenched tightly, he swung his arm and slammed his fist against the
old man’s.
A slight and dull whine escaped the old man’s mouth as he was sent seven or-so steps backward due to the force. Only then
could he regain his footing and stood his ground once more.
Shock and surprise washed over the old man’s face. He was the strongest among the men with him, and he thought that his
punch would have sent jackie to hell easily. Unexpectedly, jackie’s combat skill was a lot stronger than his.
“How is that possible?!”
A woman from the group was astonished at the scene before her. “This brat wasn’t raised in the White family. He grew up here,
in this commoner’s world! He didn’t receive any training from the White! How can he possess such power?”
The old man’s face sank and clenched his fist. “Kiddo, I underestimated you before this, and that’s why I didn’t unleash my full
strength in my punch. Don’t you think that I’m weaker than you! Well, it looks like I have to use my full strength today for you.”
jackie, on the other hand, gave a wan smile. “If I’m right, you’re sent by the Madam of the White family, Lily Lagorio. The butler
has just left, and you couldn’t even wait for the next day. I don’t think you would dare do anything had they stayed here, yes?”
“You don’t have to know who sent us and where we came from, kid. You only need to know that today is your last day on the
earth!”
The old man laughed sinisterly. He crouched slightly and, with a powerful stomp, leaped to the sky before plummeting toward
jackie with his fist clenched.
jackie could clearly feel the immense power in the old man’s body, a far cry from his initial strength moments ago. The old man
had put in every ounce of his strength in this attack.

Just when the old man was about to land on jackie, jackie moved instantly. In the blink of an eye, he leaped mid-air, raised his
knee, and slammed onto the old man’s chin.
A dull and painful cry echoed through the air as the old man’s head was knocked backward by the powerful force, sending him
flying in the air.
The old man spurted a mouthful of blood mid-air as his face turned pallid.
The old man then fell to the ground as blood was expelled from his mouth once more. Shock, surprise, and disbelief were
plastered all over his face for a long time.
“What? No! It can’t be!”
The remaining men reeled back in shock at the scene before them. Never did it occur to them that jackie could survive from the
old man’s full strength, what more overpowering him. jackie’s speed and combat skill far exceeded their expectations. His speed
could be compared to the speed of Patronum—the top-listed fighter in the White family.
“What are you waiting for? Don’t forget our purpose today! Kill him!”
Chapter 899
The old man gritted his teeth, enduring his pain, and forced himself to get up. He then called the others to charge at jackie.
“Grahh!”
The group drew out their fine swords, one by one, and rushed toward jackie.
“Since you guys want to dance with death so badly, I’ll grant your wish!”
jackie flipped his palm, and the black-metal sword appeared in his hand.
jackie flicked his wrist as slashes from the sword formed terrifying pressurized wind blades that flew toward the group. Just like
that, the men fell to the floor, lifeless.
“You... You know how to cast pressurized wind blades!”
The old man was startled. He thought that jackie would be slain by this night, what with the large number of people with him, but
all was in vain.

“Spill it! Did Lily send you here?”
jackie held the sword in his hand and stalked toward the old man. His eyes were dull and emotionless, his voice flat and
merciless—it sent chills down others’ spine. The man before him looked all too ordinary, thought the old man. Who would have
thought that the blades of wind were conjured by him?
“I’ll fight you to death!”
Not wanting to divulge in the truth, the old man raced toward jackie with a sword in his hand, wanting to cut his head clean from
his shoulders.
The old man’s ambition was cut short as a gash appeared on his neck in the next second. The old man fell straight onto the
ground.
“W—What... What’s going on?!”
Andrew and Fiona, who had heard the noises caused by the fighting, ran out from the house.
By the time they got out from the house, they were greeted with a floor of corpses that littered the ground. The scene paralyzed
them both.
jackie did not know where to start the story nor how to explain the situation to the two. After all, he did not intend to tell Fiona and
the others about the matter concerning the White family.
After putting some thoughts onto the matter, he kept away the sword in his hand and opened his mouth, “I’m not too sure. Seems
like someone hired these assassins. After all, many people out there want our heads. I think it’s better for us to leave Eastfield
quickly.”
Though jackie said those himself, he knew those assassins were not from Eastfield. After all, he had killed the people in Eastfield
who wanted him dead. That effectively eliminated everyone who had jackie on their hit-list.
He would not have to leave Eastfield had he not caused trouble for the Lamberts. He did not want to create more trouble, and
that was why he decided to leave.
“Yeah, you’re right. You’ve even offended the Clarks, the Wilsons, and the Hugos! Not only that, but the Drake family is in the list
too. Sigh! You’re right. We’d better leave soon, it’s too dangerous here!”

After listening to jackie’s analysis, Fiona was so frightened that she pestered them to get out of Eastfield.
Andrew, on the other hand, asked in fear, “ jackie... It can’t be that what’s-his-name’s family—Lambat, Lambert—looking for us,
right?”
“Father-in-law, don’t worry. The Lambert family may not know that those four are dead, and even if they do, they won’t know that
they died in Eastfield. I assure you, these assassins aren’t from the Lamberts,” assured jackie, a small smile on his face to calm
Andrew.
All of a sudden... “Hahaha! Want to leave Eastfield? I’ll have to stop you there!” A gruff voice was heard from the main gate of
jackie’s residence.
Chapter 900
Dozens of people stood outside the residence’s main gate, each of them robust, tall, and Herculean. They looked powerful.
The two security guards who watched the gate immediately scurried into the residence area and stood behind jackie, their
bodies trembling in fright.
jackie saw the men that gathered outside his gate, thus he immediately ordered, “Orchid, take Selena, my mom, and the others
into the villa. Hide in there. Leave this matter to me.”
“Yes, Master!”
Orchid nodded and yelled out loudly, “Everyone, go into the villa with me, now! No one is allowed to come out until Master says
so!”
“ jackie, be careful. They’re all from America, and I’ve no idea when and how we offended them!”
Selena’s forehead creased as she spoke to jackie, and only then she followed the rest back into the villa reluctantly.
“You’re someone who values family and friends, huh punk? But to what extent do you think you’re able to protect them?”
A big bald man—who looked like he was from America—rubbed his bald head and laughed. “Once we end you, we’ll send your
family and friends to meet you on the other side!”
“The war is over, and I really can’t fathom why you’re here. You actually dare to come here and create trouble. Don’t forget, your
country lost to ours! We’re the victorious ones.”

jackie let out a frosty cold smile; it would be riveting to end the lives of these foreigners.
“You’re right, the war is over, but a small group battle won’t do any harm, right? It’s normal!”
The bald man laughed out loud and said, “Besides, we’re not representing America. We’re here for our own people, to kill you.
Serves you right for interfering with our business and cutting our financial source!”
“I interfered with your business and cut your source?”
jackie was a little puzzled at the accusation, wondering how he had offended these people. Was it because the last time he was
at the bar—the time he met up with Selena’s college classmate—entered the ring, and killed the American fighter? Did these
people actually come here merely for that silly reason?
That seemed way too off for jackie; the matter had long passed after all. Moreover, not many people knew about that and none
could inform the other side. If the dead person were one of those powerful authorities, they would have come to seek revenge a
long time ago. They would not have waited so long to exact vengeance.
“Kiddo, don’t spend your brain cells guessing anymore. Have you forgotten about the Watsons? You ruined the trade between
the Watsons and Green Sky Hall. Do you understand now? That’s why I said you have a death wish!”
The bald face, his face full of flesh and meat, looked at the corpses on the ground and laughed. “Seems like you’re still causing
trouble everywhere, huh, kiddo? You’ve offended a lot of powerful families in Eastfield, and now you want to leave? Tsk, tsk! We
came at the right time, didn’t we? We could’ve lost you had we come later or got our investigation delayed!”
“That’s right! If we let this punk escape to another city, we won’t be able to find him so easily. Plus, we don’t have that leisure
time to find him!”
A blonde woman—with an alluring, seductive figure on her—laughed as she rubbed her fists.
“So, this is the will of God, that God wants this punk to die. Nothing else to do about it, since it’s God’s will.”
Another man from the group chimed in with a bland tone.
After pondering for a moment, jackie decided that he wanted to get some information out of the other party’s mouth. “Hmm...
Since you all think that today will be my last day, can you let me die with understanding? For example: Tell me which
powerhouses of America do you guys belong to? How strong is it, and how many people are in it? After all, I’m an incredibly
curious person.”

“Let me tell you then, kiddo. The powerhouse behind us is unbelievably strong, powerful, and with high authority. Anyway, it’s a
power that you can’t afford to offend at all.”
The bald man chortled and then continued, “Let me put it in this way: It’s a power that can easily take away your life!”
“In the end, your words are useless. You better don’t say it!”
