Chapter 591
This angel-like white girl was the Swiss Holy Maiden, Lota Schmid!
Park Chan-young was sent flying into the air by Jordan and subsequently crashed onto the ground right in front of her. The girl he liked bore witness to his sorry state. As a result, Park Chan-young was utterly ashamed and went offline on the spot, not daring to say a word to Lota.
Back in the real world.
After Park Chan-young left the game, he took off his VR goggles and cursed angrily.
“Damn you! Jordan, you b*stard. How dare you embarrass me in front of the girl I like? I’m going to kill you!”
As Jordan was standing opposite him, Park Chan-young kicked Jordan’s knee in anger!
Bang!
Park Chan-young used quite a bit of strength but his martial arts ability was only average. Coupled with the fact that Jordan had very good stability, he was not too affected. If it was a proper one-on-one fight, it would be impossible for someone with Park Chan-young’s ability to even make contact with Jordan’s knee.
However, because Jordan was wearing the VR goggles and immersed in the game, he could not see Park Chan-young’s attack coming.
Boom!
The surveillance cameras noticed that Jordan had been kicked. Zephyr Three immediately fired a small cannonball at the building as a warning.
Part of the building’s roof fell off.
Jordan was rather angry as well. That b*stard dared to sneak attack him! They had agreed earlier that he would let Jordan take his revenge if he lost the bet. But now, he dared to be a sore loser!
Jordan had already guessed that the exquisite doll-like girl was Lota.
Jordan said angrily, “Park Chan-young! You promised to let me crash into you in the game. I wasn’t the one who made Lota appear. She witnessed your humiliation but I had nothing to do with it! Also, you are a scheming man who wants to ally to rely on the Swiss family. Aren’t you a little too desperate? According to my experience, such a perfect and exquisite woman in a game must be an ugly freak in real life!”
Jordan had encountered all sorts of people. The uglier one was in real life, the better-looking their avatars. The fatter one was in real life, the slimmer their avatars. The skinnier one was in real life, the more muscular their avatars were!
Whatever one lacked in real life, the game would make up for it to satisfy their regrets.
Wasn’t this what role-playing games were about?
Therefore, Jordan believed that since Lota appeared so perfect in the game, she must be really ugly in person.
For a handsome man like Jordan, his avatar was just ordinary-looking. He did not care at all.
Park Chan-young was furious when he heard Jordan call Lota an ugly girl!
“You’re the ugly one! How dare you slander the beauty of the Holy Maiden! You ignorant fool! Do you know that how Lota looks in the game is exactly the same as how she looks in real life?”
Jordan was stunned when he heard that. “What? This is what she looks like in real life?”
Jordan was astounded. She had used her real appearance in the game. How confident she must be in her own looks! He could not help scrutinizing Lota from a distance. A ray of sunshine shone on her fair face. A breeze blew past and her beautiful hair danced in the wind…
“Impossible… how can there be such an exquisite woman in real life?!”
Hailey and Lauren were two of the most beautiful women Jordan had ever seen in the entire US.
And this Lota was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in the whole of Europe! With her fair, ethereal northern European looks, Lota’s appearance was even more unique than Hailey and Lauren! She gave off an exotic aura that tingled men’s hearts.
Park Chan-young snorted. “Don’t be ridiculous! Just because you haven’t seen her before doesn’t mean it’s impossible. I participated in the families’ great meeting. I witnessed Lota’s beauty with my own eyes! I can only say that in reality, she’s a hundred… no, a thousand times more beautiful than in the game! Especially her figure… damn it, how can such a young girl have such sexy curves!”
Jordan had just learned about the family’s secret and had never attended the great meetings. As a result, he had never met Lota in person before.
But now, as he continued scrutinizing Lota, he realized that she was flat-chested…
Jordan retorted. “Sexy curves! Where? Are you that desperate to form an alliance with the Swiss family?”
“Damn you!” Park Chan-young was indignant. “She deliberately adjusted her figure to be more ordinary in the game. Didn’t you say that a player’s figure in real life would be the direct opposite in the game?! When I first saw her last year, she was already a D cup!”
“Oh.”
This piqued Jordan’s interest. This girl had such an impressive figure in reality but purposely made herself flat-chested in the game.
However, her current figure did match her pure and holy aura better…
Jordan was getting increasingly interested in Lota. He alighted from his car and walked towards her.
Back in real life, Park Chan-young saw Jordan lifting his leg. He immediately warned Jordan, “Hey, are you walking? You’re not allowed to approach Lota and talk to her. Leave the game immediately and go offline, do you hear me?!”
Jordan ignored Park Chan-young.
Park Chan-young was furious and started kicking Jordan’s leg again. “B*stard, I told you to go offline, did you hear me?!” novelbin
Jordan was furious. He thought: ‘The more you insist for me to go offline, the more I will refuse. The more you command me not to approach Lota, the more eager I will be to do so!’
‘Damn you, Park Chan-young. How dare you kick me so many times? Don’t blame me for whatever I do with this girl now!’
Jordan strode toward Lota in a huff.
Lota was very polite. She was like a real angel. She asked, “You’re from the Steele family…”
However, before she could finish her sentence, Jordan kissed her!
Lota’s flawless face instantly turned red. She was completely taken aback.
People from the eight major families were usually very polite to each other. Park Chan-young had been pretending to be a gentleman in the game. Even though he had known her for some time, he didn’t even dare to hold Lota’s hand.
But now, Jordan had forcefully kissed her the very first time they met!
Jordan smiled. “That’s right. I’m Jamie, the famous Steele playboy. You must have heard of me. I won’t let go of any beauty in the world. Lota, I like you. I’ll look for you in Switzerland when I have time, and we can spend the night together while drinking on the snowy mountain. But I have something on now and need to go offline first. Bye!”
Chapter 592
Feeling somewhat guilty, Jordan ran away after kissing her. He did not see the adorable, dazed expression on Lota’s face. If it were a beauty from a big family like Park Anya, she would definitely be very angry after being kissed against her will.
However, Lota did not look angry at all.
Instead, she stood rooted to the ground in a daze for a long time. Then, she sat on a bench in an extremely demure and obedient manner. The breeze blew at her skirt and hair.
She muttered to herself, “Fortunately, my first kiss was snatched away by a normal man. Otherwise, it would have been taken by that monster on the day of my 18th birthday anyway…
“Jamie… or should it be Jordan? That’s what Mr. Park called you earlier. You don’t dare to admit your real name even after kissing me. How cowardly! Look for me in Switzerland… will you really come? Will you come and take me out of my hellish world before my 18th birthday?”
…
In real life, South Korea.
Jordan took off the VR goggles and left the virtual game. He looked down at his pants and realized that there were several footprints on his knees. They were all made by Park Chan-young.
Jordan was furious. “Rascal, how dare you attack me while I’m in the game?”
Thoroughly incensed by now, Park Chan-young snapped, “What did you do to Lota in the game just now?!”
Jordan answered honestly. “I kissed her!”
“Ah! You stole my future wife’s first kiss! I’m going to kill you!!”
Park Chan-young was enraged. He snatched a gun from his subordinate and pointed it at Jordan.
Would Jordan give him the chance to kill him?
Jordan reacted quickly and grabbed the gun from Park Chan-young. He aimed the gun at his calf and fired!
Bang!
“Argh!”
Park Chan-young cried out in pain and slumped to the ground.
Instantly, Park Chan-young’s subordinates raised their guns and aimed at Jordan’s head!
No matter how powerful Jordan was, it was impossible for him to fight over 10 men on his own. Moreover, they were all pointing guns at him.
Jordan said, “If any one of you fires, we will all die here, including your boss!”
The subordinates looked at each other. Without Park Chan-young’s order, they didn’t dare to fire.
Park Chan-young was not stupid. If his subordinates killed Jordan, he would die too. He might even die before Jordan did.
Throwing the gun on the ground, Jordan said to him, “Take this as a lesson from me. Don’t provoke the Steele family again! You can’t afford to offend us!”
With that, Jordan lifted Sylvie and was about to leave. He glanced at the Black Widow. He did not want a female celebrity he liked to become Park Chan-young’s plaything. Therefore, he carried Scarlett
Johansson out as well.
Park Chan-young remained seated on the ground as he watched Jordan walk out boldly. He was helpless!
“Argh!! I’m so pissed off!”
Park Chan-young pounded the ground angrily.
“Boss, how are you? I’ll send you to the treatment room!”
His subordinates were panicking at the fact that Park Chan-young had been shot in the calf.
However, Park Chan-young rejected them. “There’s no need. It’s just a small injury. It’s not worth wasting my time! The Steele family has been hiding their strength all this while. Their medical skills are actually superior to the Park family. I have to report this to my father immediately! Men, bring me back to Seoul immediately!”
One of the subordinates looked at his bleeding calf. “But boss, your leg…”
Park Chan-young said, “Bring a doctor. We can remove the bullet on our way back to Seoul. I’ll be fine after applying some medicine. Don’t worry!”
In the future world, being shot was just a minor injury as long as it wasn’t a critical part of the body. There would not be any residual effects.
Therefore, Park Chan-young didn’t take it seriously at all.
…
In a spacious grand hall in Seoul.
A man in his 50s and wearing glasses was sitting majestically on an ornate-looking chair, reading some reports.
Park Chan-young limped in. Although his leg was injured, he still walked quite fast. He rushed to the middle-aged man and shouted, “Dad, something happened. Something big happened!”
This middle-aged man was Park Sang-jun, the father of Park Chan-young and Park Anya, as well as the head of the Park family!
Park Sang-jun glanced at Park Chan-young’s injured left leg with a grim expression.
By now, he already knew what had happened at the Park family’s private hospital.
“Dad, it turns out that the Steele family has been hiding their strength. Their traditional medicine skills are amazing. You know how long our family has been treating Third aunt’s illness, it’s already been six years, and we still haven’t been able to cure her. However, Jordan Steele was able to cure her immediately!”
Park Sang-jun snorted. “I’ve already seen the video of what happened between you and Jordan in the hospital. It was just a type of voodoo trick and you were so easily fooled!”
Park Chan-young was confused. “What? Fooled?”
Park Sang-jun continued. “I just sent a doctor to do a full body checkup on your aunt. Her condition hasn’t improved at all. Jordan just used a hypnotic trick to make your aunt think that she has recovered. It was a scam! I’ve interacted with the Steeles for decades. How can I not know their true strength? The Steeles are the worst of the eight families!
“I told you long ago that the Steele family is useless except for Charleston. Why would you believe Jordan’s claims? That brat should be younger than you, right? You were fooled by a boy younger than
you, and he even injured your leg. Don’t you feel ashamed? Park Chan-young, you’ve disgraced the Park family today!”
The dressing down left Park Chan-young furious and ashamed. He knelt in front of his father. “I’m sorry, Dad! I was tricked by that brat! Damn you, Jordan. How dare you claim that the Steele family has the help of a new Deity? Your family clearly has nothing! Dad, Jordan stole my fiancée’s first kiss. Although it was only in a virtual game, I can’t take this lying down!”
Park Sang-jun asked, “You’re talking about Lota of the Schmid family?”
Park Chan-young nodded. novelbin
Park Sang-jun frowned. “The Schmid family has always been well-hidden. They are the most mysterious of the eight big families. They are definitely one of the top among the eight families. If you can marry Lota, we can pry into what kind of research the Schmid family has been doing for the past few decades.
“Hmm, the Steeles will be kicked out of the eight families soon anyway. How do you want to take revenge on Jordan? Tell me, I’ll definitely support you!”
Chapter 593
Park Chan-young said angrily, “I’m going to break both his legs! And don’t think I’ll spare his third leg! And it must be a permanent injury, the kind that can never recover!”
Since he was a young boy, Park Chan-young had always been arrogant. Today was the first time he had been shot by a gun. Although the wound would soon recover, he still had to endure the pain at the moment of the shot.
Park Sang-jun said, “The Steele family is still one of the eight great families. You can’t attack him just like that. We can’t rashly declare war on the Steele family. Let’s wait for another two months. In two months, I will officially kick the Steeles out during the great meeting. My proposal has already received the approval of the other six families.
“Once the Steeles are officially kicked out of the families, we will confiscate their major research and development teams, as well as their military power. By then, you can even kill him if you want!”
Once the Steele family was kicked out, they would no longer be on the same level as the other seven families. One side was like a commoner ant that was at the mercy of others, while the other was the ruler of the world.
Park Chan-young acquiesced. “Alright, I’ll endure for another two months. However, Dad, there’s something I’m afraid I can’t endure for two months. Can I do it now?”
Park Sang-jun was curious. “What is it?”
Park Chan-young said, “I interrogated Jin-woon earlier and asked him how he met Jordan. Our Park family has always been secretive. No matter how powerful the Steele family is, it’s impossible for them to track us. Later, I realized that it was a coincidence. Jin-woon has been recruiting people for me. Coincidentally, he recruited Jordan’s mother-in-law, Marissa!”
Switching on his cell phone, Park Chan-young showed his father Marissa’s photo.
“Marissa… what a beautiful woman!”
Park Sang-jun was taken aback when he saw Marissa’s photo. Both father and son had the same expression whenever they saw a beautiful woman. novelbin
Park Chan-young grinned. “Dad, can I bring Jordan’s mother-in-law here? I guarantee that Jordan won’t be able to obtain any evidence that I did it. He won’t be able to find us.”
Putting on a stern expression, Park Sang-jun reprimanded his son, “You’re already 30 years old, yet you’re still obsessed with women. Can you learn from your brothers and sisters and do more serious things?! Don’t even think about this woman!”
Park Chan-young was reluctant. “Dad, she’s just an ordinary middle-aged woman. She won’t be any trouble. Please let me.”
Park Sang-jun’s expression suddenly shifted and he said, “This woman isn’t suitable for you!”
Park Chan-young noticed the shift in his father’s expression and immediately understood. “Oh, I understand. Yes, yes, she’s indeed not suitable for me. I’ll capture her and offer her to you, okay?”
It came as no surprise that Park Chan-young had inherited his lust for women. Park Sang-jun had his own harem.
Nevertheless, Park Sang-jun still acted like a stern father in front of his son. He cleared his throat. “Deal with this matter carefully. Don’t let your mother know.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I understand. I’ll capture Marissa and treat her. After she successfully becomes 10 years younger, I’ll immediately send her to you!” Park Chan-young promised.
Park Sang-jun looked at Marissa’s photo again and smiled. He nodded.
However, he had always been a cautious person and he spent a moment mulling over the fact that this beautiful woman was Jordan’s mother-in-law.
‘But he’s just a little kid who recently found out about the family secret. I’m not even afraid of his grandfather, so why should I be afraid of him? Hmph!’
Park Sang-jun considered the matter before deciding not to take Jordan seriously.
…
Meanwhile, 30,000 feet in the sky on Zephyr Three.
“Jordan, have some water.”
Harry brought Jordan a cup of water.
Jordan accepted the cup. “Harry, your driving skills are not bad. It’ll be very useful in the future.”
The moment Jordan came out of the private hospital with Sylvie and Scarlett Johansson, Harry immediately drove over to him amid a rain of bullets. He then steered the car to a spot two stories high and in a beautiful drifting arc, swerved the car right into Zephyr Three.
The entire sequence happened so fast that the Park family had no chance to chase after them.
Harry chuckled. “Thank you for the compliment!”
Salvatore also came over and patted Harry’s shoulder. “Kid, if you follow Mr. Jordan from now on, I promise you’ll have a good life.”
Harry nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, Salvatore.”
Jordan smiled. “This kid is a second-generation heir. He doesn’t lack money.”
Salvatore was stunned for a moment before saying, “Mr. Jordan is the true second generation. No one else is worthy! Oh yes, Mr. Jordan, what should we do with the two women you brought here? They’re still unconscious.”
Jordan said, “Sylvie just took the medicine. I wonder what will happen next. Dragon, bring Sylvie to England and hand her over to Grandpa. Give him this medicine packet too.”
Jordan took out the medicine packet he stole from the Park family.
The Steeles’ medical team could study the medicine and Sylvie.
Salvatore smiled mischievously and asked, “What about the Black Widow?”
Jordan said, “Scarlett Johansson already completed her treatment. Bring her back to the US and call her manager to come and fetch her.”
Salvatore swallowed hard. “Mr. Jordan, you know I’m her fan. Can I…”
“No!”
Jordan knew what Salvatore wanted to do from the look in his eyes.
Scarlett Johansson was a world-famous beauty. Salvatore was definitely thinking of doing something wicked to her.
Jordan had met Scarlett Johansson before. Moreover, the Steeles were friends with many Hollywood stars. Jordan could not let a beauty like Scarlett Johansson be ruined by his subordinates.
Although, judging from Scarlett Johansson’s messy clothes, it was very likely that she had already been…
At this moment, Scarlett Johansson was unconscious. She would not know what was done to her, but Jordan would never do such a despicable thing.
Salvatore knew that Jordan had always been a principled man so he backed off. “Alright, I only have one request. Can I have a sip of her shower water?”
“Hahaha…”
Everyone laughed.
Jordan shook his head. “Kevin Durant sure is a pest.”
NBA star Kevin Durant had once said that he wanted to drink Scarlett Johansson’s shower water. This made all Scarlett Johansson fans in the world want to try the same.
“Sure! But be sure to tell us how it tastes, I want to know too!”
“Hahaha…”
Everyone laughed again.
However, Jordan soon fell into deep thought as he looked at the clouds outside.
“Boss, is there something on your mind?” Dragon asked.
Jordan sighed. “Although it was a rather satisfying encounter with Park Chan-young, I spinned a lot of lies. Sooner or later, the Park family will know that the Steeles don’t have a new Deity, and our medical skills aren’t that good. I need to have real abilities to gain the respect of the other seven families!”
Chapter 594
Jordan recalled what Park Chan-young said earlier. In two months, the Steeles would be kicked out by the other seven families at the great meeting. If it really happened, it would be a disaster for the Steele family!
It would not just be a simple matter of not being included in future developments. The Steeles were still ahead of the world in many aspects, including military affairs!
In other words, if the Steeles were kicked out and became lone wolves not answerable to anyone, they might do things that would disrupt the current world order!
The other seven families would never overlook the potential threat posed by the Steeles after they were made an outsider! Therefore, once the Steele family was kicked out, every Steele member would be in trouble! The best way to eliminate this threat posed by the Steeles was to turn everyone in the family into a dead person!
“The Steele family must not be kicked out. Otherwise, everyone in our family will be in trouble! However, unless a new Deity appears, no matter how hard we work, it’s impossible for us to reach the same level as the other seven families in just two months.”
Jordan continued mulling the matter in a gloomy state. Soon, the plane landed in the capital.
He asked Dragon to deliver the medicine and Sylvie to England. He got Harry to drive him back to his new villa in the capital.
“Dear wives, I’m back!”
Jordan walked into his new house and saw Lauren and Victoria eating at the dining table. He walked over and saw that there was a large array of delicious-looking seafood dishes. It was obvious from one glance that Victoria prepared them.
“Well now, The two of you are having a secret seafood feast and didn’t call me to join!” Jordan pretended to complain. He was actually very happy that his two wives could get along so well.
Victoria said, “You’re one to talk. You didn’t answer my calls or reply to my messages.”
Lauren knew that Jordan had gone to settle an important matter. She asked, “Hubby, how was it? Did things go smoothly?”
Jordan nodded and kissed her. “Yes, it’s successfully completed.”
Victoria pouted angrily, “We’re both your wives but you only gave one of us a kiss.”
Jordan smiled and said, “Haha, of course I won’t let you off! I missed you so much after not seeing you for so long.”
With that, Jordan kissed Victoria too.
Jordan then sat down. Lauren and Victoria took the initiative to peel prawns for him. Jordan sat at the dinner table being served the entire time.
“Oh my God, I’m so blessed.”
Jordan sighed happily.
Lauren smiled. “Glad you know that. By the way, I was chatting with Victoria just now and realized that she has never been to many places in the capital. I want to bring her around the capital. Will you accompany us?”
Jordan agreed with a grin. “A threesome? Sure. Let’s go tomorrow morning. Where are we going?”
Victoria replied, “Olympic National Park!”
…
The next day, Jordan, Lauren and Victoria drove to the Olympic National Park early in the morning.
Jordan did not realize that although Victoria had visited the capital so many times, she had never stepped foot into this park. In fact, not even everyone staying in the capital had been to this park before.
It was a common phenomenon for locals to not visit some famous attraction in their own state, just because it was so near.
“Hubby, take photos of us!”
Victoria stuffed a camera into Jordan’s hand.
Having come to the Olympic National Park, it was important to capture the beautiful scenery. But the ladies had high standards…
Jordan took several photos, but Lauren and Victoria were not satisfied with any of them.
Just as Jordan was determined to take a photo that would satisfy both his wives, he suddenly saw someone.
“Dad, Mom, stand here. I’ll take a photo for you!”
A familiar voice, a familiar back view.
Jordan couldn’t resist walking over to take a look. He realized that they were old acquaintances!
It was Hailey’s best friend, Rachel Quinn!
Rachel was also holding a camera and taking photos of an old couple. This old couple looked old enough to be Rachel’s parents. However, in terms of figure and appearance, they were completely different from Rachel.
At only 1.61 meters tall, Rachel was also very thin, weighing less than 50 kilograms.”Please reading on newn0vel.0rg”? For the old couple, the man was 1.8 meters tall, and the woman was 1.7 meters tall. Furthermore, they were both very fat!
Click!
After taking photos of the old couple, Rachel carefully guided them along the path.
Rachel and Jordan bumped into each other. novelbin
“Jor… Jordan?”
Rachel did not expect to meet Jordan here.
“Victoria, Lauren.”
Rachel also greeted Victoria and Lauren respectfully.
Jordan hadn’t wanted to bother with this woman because he had always believed that she was the reason why Hailey had turned bad.
If it weren’t for her setting a bad example, having affairs and perfectly manipulating her husband and lovers, Hailey might not have slept with Tyler.
Nevertheless, Jordan was a little curious about Rachel, so he asked, “Rachel, are you… here on vacation?”
Based on Jordan’s understanding of Rachel, she should have already visited this park a long time ago.
Rachel was not a sporty or outdoorsy kind of girl. What was so fun about the Olympic National Park for her?
Unless she came with her parents.
Rachel nodded. “Yes.”
Jordan looked at the old couple and asked, “Are they… your parents?”
Although they had known each other for more than three years, Jordan had never seen Rachel’s parents.
Rachel hesitated for a moment before saying, “Yes, they’re my parents.”
The old couple smiled and did not deny it.
“Um… Jordan, your time is precious. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll make a move first.”
Rachel seemed to want to avoid chatting with Jordan.
“Wait a minute.”
Jordan stopped her and asked, “I’m sorry. Forgive me for being suspicious, but I’m a little curious. Your parents are so tall and burly. Why are you so petite? They don’t look like your parents. Instead, they look a little like your ex-husband, Cory’s parents!”
Rachel’s ex-husband, Cory, happened to be a tall and fat fellow. He was a perfect match to be the son of this old couple.
The two elders laughed. “Hahaha, that’s right. We’re Cory’s parents. Since Rachel and our son are married, there’s nothing wrong with her calling us Mom and Dad, right? Hahaha.”
Jordan was shocked. “Husband and wife? Aren’t you divorced? Didn’t you tell his parents?”
Rachel smiled. “About that… well, you have a lot of work to do every day, right? There are many more important things waiting for you to accomplish. Don’t worry about the lives of ordinary people like us, okay?”
Jordan said, “No, I really have to know the truth about you today!”
Chapter 595
Rachel was not a significant person in Jordan’s eyes. Jordan couldn’t even be bothered to know about Hailey’s private life, much less her “best friend” Rachel.
Moreover, the Steele family was in danger now. Jordan was completely focused on saving the Steele family. How would he be in the mood to think about anything else?
However, Rachel’s private life, or rather, the relationship between Rachel and Cory, had a very important impact on Jordan!
Seeing Jordan’s serious expression, Victoria walked over and asked him, “Hubby, what’s wrong?”
When Rachel and Cory divorced last year, Jordan and Victoria had asked Cory out for a meal together. Victoria also knew about Rachel and Cory.
Jordan said to Rachel, “Come with me. I have something to ask you!”
He did not want to ask Rachel in front of Cory’s parents. After all, they might not know that Rachel had an affair.
Jordan was already being very considerate to Rachel.
Pulling Rachel aside, he asked her directly, “Tell me honestly, what’s going on between you and Cory? Why did you bring his parents out on a holiday after the divorce?”
Rachel knew that Jordan had a high status and was not someone an ordinary person like her could afford to offend. She could only tell the truth.
“Cory and I… remarried…”
“Remarried? You two are together again?”
Jordan became very agitated when he heard that.
Jordan continued probing. “Why did Cory agree to remarry you?! Rachel, you unfaithful woman, what tricks did you use again?!”
Rachel put on an aggrieved expression. “I didn’t use any tricks. We were married for three years and already developed feelings for each other. Apart from my cheating incident, we were happy for the rest of our marriage. We never quarreled.”
Jordan snorted. “That’s because you put on a good act! You cheated on him and you felt guilty for letting your husband down. Of course you wouldn’t quarrel with him! Putting on a sweet, submissive wife act every day to make him happy and unsuspicious. Do you think that is good for him?”
It had to be said that Rachel was indeed a very smart woman, especially in her marriage. She treated her husband very well when she was not cheating on him.
Hailey was too beautiful. She had too many bootlickers around her and was very arrogant to everyone. On the other hand, Rachel was not as good-looking. She was very sensible and considerate. She knew how to make men happy and was willing to do things that arrogant women were unwilling to do.
Rachel continued in an aggrieved tone. “I really love him, and he loves me too. We were separated for a while, but we realized that we couldn’t live without each other. On account of the fact that we were once acquaintances, just let us be happy together. As the saying goes, one would rather tear down 10 temples than break up a marriage…”
Jordan cut in. “Enough. I don’t want to hear this.”
Jordan took out his phone. He remembered that he still had Cory’s contact. After finding it, he called him directly. He wanted to hear from Cory himself about the situation.
“Hello, is this Cory? Jordan here.”
Cory became very excited when he heard Jordan’s voice. novelbin
“Ah, Jordan! I didn’t expect to receive your call! Is anything the matter?”
Jordan asked. “Did you marry Rachel again?”
Cory was surprised. “Yes, we just registered our marriage a few days ago. How did you know?”
Jordan said angrily, “Why did you get back with her?! You saw her cheating on you with your own eyes! During your marriage, she slept with countless other men. How can you accept such a woman? Don’t you think she’s dirty?!”
The barrage of questions put Cory in a difficult position. “It’s true that I was very angry and sad at that time. After I divorced her, I spent several months in depression. I even got drunk and crashed my car, nearly losing my life. However, ever since the divorce, Rachel has been sending me messages every day to apologize and beg for my forgiveness. My heart gradually softened and I forgave her…”
Jordan was speechless. Back then, he had no choice but to get back with Hailey. It was her great-aunt who forced Jordan to promise before she died. Jordan did not want that elderly lady, who had done him a favor, to leave this world with regrets.
That was why Jordan agreed to get back with Hailey.
Moreover, Jordan had no evidence at that time to confirm that something did happen between Hailey and Tyler.
However, Cory’s situation was completely different. He had seen Rachel cheating on him with his own eyes!
How could he forgive Rachel?
Jordan said, “Once a cheater, always a cheater. You have forgiven her now but aren’t you afraid that she will cheat on you again in the future?”
Beside him, Rachel shook Jordan’s arm and begged, “Mr. Jordan, I promise you that I won’t cheat on Cory anymore!”
Jordan shook off Rachel’s hand. ‘Get lost, this is about you and Cory. What use is it for you to promise me?!’
On the other end of the line, Cory said, “Even if I marry a new wife, I can’t guarantee that she won’t cheat on me. Jordan, I’m not like you, rich and handsome. I’m fat and ugly. Not many women will really like me. Over the past few years, Rachel has been quite good to me. Moreover, she promised me that she would never meet up with other men again. She even promised me that she would work at my company and come with me on business trips in the future.”
Jordan wanted to say something more, but then he stopped himself. “I have nothing to say!”
Jordan hung up angrily. Since the man himself had already said so, there was no point in saying anything else. If he continued trying to persuade him, Cory might misunderstand and think that Jordan was going to snatch his woman away.
At this moment, Rachel knelt in front of Jordan.
Rachel sobbed and begged.
“Mr. Jordan, I beg you. I beg you not to separate Cory and me. We are truly in love. I swear that I will never do anything to let him down again. I beg you…”
Rachel cried wretchedly. When Jordan helped Cory and Rachel get a divorce back then, he had said that Cory could easily get a new young and beautiful woman. However, Rachel couldn’t find a man of Cory’s status again.
Therefore, Rachel needed this marriage more than Cory!
Chapter 596
Victoria walked over. When she saw Rachel crying, she asked Jordan, “Hubby, are you still angry with Rachel? Why are you so angry that Rachel remarried Cory?”
Jordan held Victoria’s hand and said, “You don’t understand…”
At this moment, Jordan and Rachel had already attracted the attention of many people. Jordan didn’t want to be photographed, so he said to Rachel.
“Leave. Since Cory has chosen to forgive and believe in you, I am just an outsider and can’t say anything.”
Rachel hurriedly stood up and wiped her tears. “Thank you, Jordan. Thank you for caring so much about Cory and me. I know you still treat us as friends. We’ll definitely live well in the future. I hope that one day, we can sit down and have a drink together.”
With that, Rachel hastily turned around and left.
Looking at Cory’s parents standing together in harmony, Jordan sighed.
‘How could this happen!’
Rachel was an insignificant character to Jordan. He was so anxious about her relationship with Cory because he had a recurring dream last year! In the dream, Rachel and Cory got back together!
“First, it was Elle’s plastic surgery. Now, it’s Rachel and Cory’s remarriage. The events that happened in my dream are coming true one by one!”
When Jordan started having his dreams, Elle had yet to undergo plastic surgery in real life. But in his dreams, Elle did plastic surgery and looked exactly like she did now!
Jordan had always felt that it was just a coincidence. But now, another event from his dream had happened in real life!
Rachel and Cory had remarried!
If everything in his dream were realized…
“In my dream, I married Hailey…”
In that dream, Jordan was wearing a suit and Hailey was wearing a white wedding dress. The two of them were holding a wedding on a romantic beach! Elle, who had undergone plastic surgery, as well as the newly-remarried Rachel and Cory, all attended the wedding.
If this dream came true, it meant that Jordan might marry Hailey again!
“Impossible! I will never marry that b*tch again!”
When Jordan thought of this, he immediately rejected the idea. novelbin
“I have two good and beautiful wives now. Even if I’m greedy, there is still Madam from South Korea. I am way more attracted to her than Hailey! Even if I seek out Madam or some other woman, it’s impossible for me to get together with Hailey again!”
Jordan knew this very well. He no longer had any feelings for Hailey!
“But… if this really happens one day, does it mean that I have the ability to predict the future? Dreaming about what will happen in the future. Isn’t this the superpower of a deity?”
Jordan suddenly remembered what his grandfather had once said about the eight great families and the Deity.
Back then, it was because the Deity’s dreams had become a reality that the eight great families knew how powerful she was. From there, they used her ability to gradually control the entire world.
“Could I be… the new Deity?”
Jordan became very excited!
Now that the Steeles were in danger and being looked down on by the other seven families, if Jordan was a Deity and could predict the future, he could save his family and even trample the other seven families under his feet!
Let the Steeles be right at the top of the entire world!
Jordan was in a huge dilemma!
Only if everything in his dream came true would he have a chance to prove that he was a Deity and had such an ability. However, if everything in his dream came true, it would mean that he would have to remarry Hailey!
That was not the worst of it. Something even more unacceptable kept recurring in Jordan’s dreams.
In his dream, Victoria was shot and bleeding profusely! If Jordan really had the ability to predict the future, then Victoria might die!!
“Hubby, what’s wrong?”
Victoria saw that Jordan was in a daze and was very worried.
Jordan looked at Victoria, who lost weight. He hugged her tightly.
With so many tourists around her, Victoria felt shy. “What are you doing… Don’t be like this in public…”
Jordan felt conflicted. He didn’t want to marry Hailey again, and he also didn’t want anything to happen to Victoria.
“Maybe I’m overthinking things. How can I be a Deity? I dreamed that Elle had plastic surgery because I always knew that she was a woman who loved to look beautiful. It was based on my judgment of her personality. It was the same when I dreamed of Rachel and Cory getting back together. It was also based on my judgment of their personalities. My judgment has always been accurate.”
As Jordan was familiar with psychology, his judgments and predictions were often accurate.
This might have nothing to do with being a Deity.
Unless Jordan held Hailey’s hand again, he would not believe that he was the new Deity.
“What’s wrong, Hubby?”
Lauren also came over and asked with concern.
Jordan just smiled and did not tell them about his worries. He didn’t want them to be worried too.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking that since the three of us are out to have fun, we should visit a few more attractions. After we’re done at the Olympic National Park, we can visit Palouse River Canyon.”
Lauren nodded happily. “Alright, it’s rare for us to come out together. Let’s enjoy ourselves these two days. We can’t let Chloe know that we’re out having fun, otherwise she’ll be upset when she finds out we didn’t bring her along.”
“Haha.”
…
The next afternoon.
Jordan, Lauren and Victoria were still enjoying themselves sightseeing in the capital when Lauren received a call from her father, Stefan.
“Lauren, where are you? Are you alright?”
Stefan sounded very anxious and uneasy.
Lauren answered, “Jordan, Victoria and I are out sightseeing. I’m fine. Why are you asking? Did something happen?”
Stefan said, “Your mother was captured early this morning!”
Lauren exclaimed. “What?”
After learning that Marissa had been kidnapped, Jordan hurriedly drove Lauren and Victoria home.
Soon after, Jordan and Lauren arrived at Lauren’s grandfather’s house. The entire Howard family was present.
Lauren walked in and asked anxiously, “Dad, what happened? Why was my mom taken away? Who took her?”
Stefan shook his head. “We don’t know who it was. The bodyguard in charge of protecting your mother was knocked unconscious. He only saw a man in a suit.”
Jordan asked, “Where was she taken? Have you checked the surveillance cameras?”
With the Howard family’s power in the capital, even if Marissa was captured, the family could quickly lock onto the suspect’s location and arrest him. They would not be at such a loss at what to do.
However, Stefan said, “We’ve seen the surveillance cameras, but Marissa and her captors suddenly disappeared from surveillance. They might have already left the capital!”
Chapter 597
Martin spoke up. “The men who kidnapped Marissa are not ordinary kidnappers. They were able to evade so many surveillance cameras and disappear mysteriously. They are definitely not an ordinary force. If we can confirm that they are still in the capital, I have absolute confidence that we can capture them.
“But if they have already taken Marissa away from the capital or out of the country, the Howard family will be helpless. Jordan, can you help us?”
Before Jordan could reply, Clarice said coldly, “If even the Howard family can’t do it, how can an outsider like him help? His bank account is still frozen in this country, right?”
Jordan shot Clarice an arrogant look. Now that something serious had happened to the Howard family, he had no time to bicker with her.
“Let me see the surveillance footage first.”
Jordan watched the surveillance footage of Marissa. He realized that she had disappeared into a clearing.
“Stealth jet?”
If Marissa had boarded an invisible plane, the surveillance cameras would definitely not be able to capture her.
In this world, only the eight secret families had invisible planes. Jordan immediately thought of the Park family whom he just had an altercation with!
“Could it be Park Chan-young?”
Jordan had just returned from the Park family’s private hospital. He had blown up several big holes in the hospital and even shot Park Chan-young. With the Park family’s medical skills, that shot was not enough to make him spend his days in a wheelchair like Brad. Even so, it would still be very painful.
Not only that, but Jordan had also stolen the Park family’s precious medicine. In addition, Park Chan- young had designs on Marissa from the start. It was very likely that he would seize this opportunity to take revenge on Jordan.
Lauren looked very worried. “Mom rarely befriends strangers and has never offended anyone. Who is so vicious as to kidnap her? I really hope she’ll be fine…”
Although Lauren often disagreed with Marissa, they had a close mother-daughter relationship. It was no surprise that Lauren was very upset that her mother had been kidnapped.
Jordan patted Lauren’s shoulder and comforted her. “Lauren, don’t worry. I know who took her. Let me handle this.”
Martin asked, “Jordan, you know who it is?”
Brad, who was sitting in a wheelchair, also shouted, “Tell me quickly, which b*stard captured my mother? I’m going to kill him!”
Clarice also piped up. “Aunt Marissa is a member of our family. Anyone who dares to kidnap a member of the Howard family is going against the entire family. If we don’t deal with such a person, the thought of it is terrifying. I wouldn’t even dare to go out!”
Jordan said, “If I’m not wrong, it should be the Park family from South Korea.”
“The Park family from South Korea? What do they do? Why haven’t I heard of them?”
The Howards looked befuddled at the mention of the name “Park”.
The Park family was a secret family, so of course they didn’t know.
Jordan didn’t want to reveal too much to them. He looked at Martin and said, “This matter might be because of me. I’ll be in charge of finding Mom.”
Martin nodded. “Okay Jordan, if you need my help, feel free to tell me.”
“Okay.”
Not wanting to waste any time, Jordan flew straight to South Korea, then headed to the secret hospital in South Korea.
By now, Dragon had already handed Sylvie and the Park family’s medicine to the Steeles’ medical research team in England and immediately rushed back.
“Dragon, how many people do we have now?” Jordan asked.
Dragon replied, “200.”
Jordan instructed, “Everyone, head to the hospital!”
Jordan wanted to take down the Park family Hospital in one go and save Marissa. However, when they entered the dilapidated building, they realized that it was empty.
“Master, we’ve checked upstairs and downstairs. There’s no one here, and everything has been moved away,” Dragon said.
Jordan clenched his fists. “Damn it, they actually moved so quickly.”
For a secret family, secrecy was very important. Since Jordan already knew about the Park family’s private hospital, it was no longer a secret place. Therefore, for safety’s sake, the Park family had to move and abandon this location.
“Damn it. This is the only place I know of. It will be very difficult to find Park Chan-young and Marissa now.”
Although he knew that it would not be easy, Jordan still ordered his men to keep looking for any location which might be linked to the Park family. He also assigned men to follow Park Anya’s every move.
…
Meanwhile, in a private mansion on Jeju Island.
Marissa’s hands and feet were tied up, accentuating her good figure, which was rare among middle- aged women.
Park Chan-young slowly walked over. Even though he had just been shot, he could now walk without any assistance.
This was the power of future medical technology. Many illnesses that appeared very serious now were like minor ailments in the eyes of the eight great families.
Park Chan-young scrutinized Marissa and drooled. “What a perfect middle-aged woman! Mrs. Howard, you’re the most beautiful 40-year-old woman I’ve ever seen in this world. Come, I’ll untie you myself.”
Park Chan-young personally untied Marissa. Of course, he could take advantage of her now, but a second-generation heir of his level would not do such a despicable thing. He was confident that he would never need to force himself on any woman in this world.
“Mrs. Howard, can I call you Auntie?” Park Chan-young asked gently
Park Chan-young was obsessed with “aunties”. Every time he called a beautiful middle-aged woman “auntie”, he would get very excited.
However, Marissa did not understand Korean at all.
Park Chan-young muttered to himself. “Oh, right. I forgot that she doesn’t understand Korean. She probably speaks English.”
While he could speak English, he found it a hassle and would prefer to speak in Korean.
Park Chan-young continued. “I prefer to converse in Korean. But no problem, we can still communicate.”
Snap!
Park Chan-young snapped his fingers and got his subordinates to bring over a pair of Bluetooth earphones.
“Come, Auntie. I’ll put it on for you personally. With this Bluetooth earpiece, we can communicate without any obstacles.”
This earpiece was a real-time translator. It could translate a speaker’s words in real-time.
After putting them on Marissa, Park Chan-young also stuffed a pair of earphones into his ears. He then successfully paired their devices to translate Korean to English.
After everything was set up, Park Chan-young politely introduced himself. “Auntie Marissa, my name is Park Chan-young. I’m an admirer of yours. Welcome to South Korea. I will definitely treat a beauty like you with the highest standards!”
Chapter 598
This time, Marissa understood what Park Chan-young was saying through her Bluetooth earpiece.
She stared fiercely at Park Chan-young. “I’m warning you, I’m not an ordinary woman. I’m the daughter-in-law of the Howard family! The Howard family is the most powerful family in the capital and the entire country! You dared to kidnap me and provoke the Howard family, I guarantee that you will not have a good ending!”
Park Chan-young smiled. “Before capturing you, I’ve already investigated the Howard family’s strength. They’re indeed very powerful and not just an ordinary rich family. Unfortunately, this family is still nothing in my eyes!”
Marissa was shocked. Since he had investigated the Howard family and knew their strength, how dare this South Korean kidnap Marissa?
Was he not afraid of the Howard family’s strength?
Marissa thought for a moment and felt that Jordan’s family probably had more influence internationally, so she mentioned him.
“Also, my son-in-law is Jordan Steele, a member of the very powerful Steele family! Even in South Korea, their influence is…”
Before Marissa could finish, Park Chan-young stretched out one hand, indicating for her to stop.
“Auntie, there’s no need to say anything. I know the Steele family’s strength better than you. The Steeles are indeed much more important than the Howard family. As for your son-in-law, I know how powerful he is.”
As Park Chan-young spoke, he lifted the hem of his trousers, revealing the gunshot wound on his calf. He pointed at the wound and said, “Look, this wound on my leg was caused by your son-in-law,
Jordan.”
Marissa was shocked. She immediately believed that she had been kidnapped because Jordan had injured this person!
Mr. Steele hurriedly said, “Sir, actually, my relationship with Jordan isn’t very good. I’ve never really regarded him as my son-in-law. I was just about to make my daughter divorce him! It’s his fault that he injured you. Don’t blame it on me!”
Marissa believed that she had been implicated by Jordan and cursed him viciously in her heart.
Park Chan-young laughed. “Auntie, although I hate him, this has nothing to do with him. Actually, without his interference, I might have already brought you here long ago.”
It was only a matter of time before Park Chan-young would discover Marissa.
Jordan was Marissa’s son-in-law, which made Park Chan-young a little more cautious. If Marissa’s son- in-law was someone else, Park Chan-young would not have hesitated at all. He would have immediately kidnapped Marissa.
Park Chan-young said, “Auntie, don’t be nervous. I invited you here to help you regain your youth and to give you benefits.” novelbin
Snap!
Park Chan-young snapped his fingers again and instructed his subordinates, “Bring her in!”
His subordinates brought in a beauty. This beauty looked dignified and refined.
Park Chan-young smiled at Marissa. “Auntie Marissa, do you know who this beauty is?”
Marissa looked at a woman who was much younger than her. She didn’t think she knew her at first, but the more she looked at her, the more familiar she found her to be.
“Strange, why do I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before…”
Marissa was puzzled.
“Marissa.” The woman spoke slowly.
Marissa shuddered and became very agitated. She was too familiar with this voice!
“You… you’re Yvonne!” Marissa was dumbstruck.
Yvonne was Marissa’s good friend and a rich lady in the capital.
Marissa was very shocked. “I heard that you suddenly disappeared some time ago. So you were captured and brought here!”
“How did your face… become so young?!”
Marissa was extremely astounded by Yvonne’s face. She looked 10 years younger than before!
Yvonne looked at Park Chan-young and explained, “Mr. Park helped me achieve this.”
Park Chan-young walked over smugly and said, “Auntie Marissa, look, isn’t Auntie Yvonne’s face 10 years younger than before? Do you want to return to how you looked 10 years ago?”
Marissa was stunned and instinctively nodded.
“Hahaha.” Park Chan-young walked over with a smirk and was about to touch Marissa.
Marissa dodged his hand. “Don’t mess around! I’m a woman of the Howard family. If I have to pay this kind of price to look younger, I will never do it!”
Marissa had betrayed Stefan before, but that was because she had seen him hook up with another woman first. That was why she had been so angry. As a woman of the Howard family, she would not serve South Korea.
Park Chan-young said, “Don’t worry. You won’t be servicing me, but my father. My father is the ruler of this world. Sooner or later, the entire world will be under his control. He’s a man countless times more powerful than your husband. You’ll definitely be very happy.”
“Pfft!” Marissa replied disdainfully. “No matter who your father is, I have no interest in him! I’m warning you, my son-in-law will definitely take revenge. He won’t sit back and do nothing. You better let me go quickly. Otherwise, when they find me, it will be too late for you to regret it!”
Park Chan-young snorted. “Auntie, you have too much confidence in Jordan. Let’s make a bet. I bet that Jordan won’t be able to find you before you’re sent to my father! Men, send Auntie Marissa to the treatment room!”
…
Meanwhile, Jordan was on Zephyr Three, searching for the Park family and Marissa. After searching for more than 10 hours, Jordan had not made any progress.
Dragon reported, “Master, even if we search for half a year, we might not be able to find the Park family. Although the tracking technology on Zephyr Three is very advanced, the Park family has very advanced anti-reconnaissance technology too. Unless we use force to flush out the Park family, it will be very difficult for us to find them and your mother-in-law.”
Tim also spoke up. “Yeah, and even if we find them, they have stealth jets and can evade us anytime.”
Jordan was also feeling very troubled. It was challenging to go against a secret family.
Jordan looked at the time. Marissa had been taken away for 20 hours now. If the Park family intended to harm her, she would have died a hundred times over. However, if the Park family wanted to treat her and make her 10 years younger, there was no need to be overly anxious. It would take at least half a month to complete the treatment.
“That despicable Park Chan-young. He clearly knows that Marissa is my mother-in-law, but he still dared to kidnap her. He completely disregards me and the Steele family!”
“Alright, since you kidnapped my family, an eye for an eye. I’ll capture one of yours too!”
Jordan asked Tim, “I asked you to monitor Park Anya. How’s the surveillance going?”
Chapter 599
Park Anya was Park Chan-young’s sister. If Jordan could capture Park Anya, he would definitely be able to trade her for Marissa.
In return, Tim said, “Madam’s daily activities look very normal. She accompanies her husband to press conferences and interviews. When she’s free, she accompanies her daughter. She doesn’t seem to have anything to do with your mother-in-law.”
This wasn’t unexpected. Children from large families were very independent. Jordan, Jesse, Jamie and his sisters rarely contacted each other. Jordan also believed that Park Chan-young had acted alone. Park Anya probably had no idea.
“Where is Park Anya now?”
Tim glanced at the location on his phone and said, “The Blue House.”
Jordan immediately said, “Let’s go to the Blue House and capture Park Anya!”
“What?”
Tim, Salvatore and the rest were all dumbstruck!
Kidnap someone at the Blue House?
Tim stammered, “Mr. Jordan, this… this… do you want to reconsider? It’s the Blue House!”
The Blue House was where the highest authorities in South Korea were. Commoners like Tim and Salvatore trembled just at the mention of the place. They didn’t even dare to enter, let alone capture someone there.
However, Jordan did not care at all. He did not care where it was!
“Let’s go!”
Turning on the invisibility mode, Zephyr Three quickly approached the Blue House. novelbin
However, Martin suddenly called.
“Hello, Mr. Howard.”
Jordan thought that Martin was here to check on his progress regarding Marissa.
However, Martin’s first question was not about Marissa’s situation. Instead, he asked, “Jordan, where are you now?”
Jordan was confused. “I’m in South Korea. Why?”
Martin continued to ask, “Where in South Korea?”
Jordan did not say that he was going to the Blue House, in case Martin got nervous.
Unexpectedly, Martin asked, “Jordan, are you going to the Blue House?”
Jordan was shocked. “How did you know? You placed a tracker on me?!”
Jordan never expected Martin to secretly do such a thing!
Martin couldn’t possibly have known that he was going to the Blue House unless he placed a tracker on him. After all, Jordan hadn’t even reached the Blue House yet.
Jordan was in close proximity to Martin at the Howards’ place earlier and it would have been easy for Martin to plant a tracker on him.
Martin said, “Jordan, don’t be angry. I did this for your own good. After all, you’re the son-in-law of the Howard family. I’m afraid you’ll do something rash. Listen to me. Don’t cause trouble at the Blue House. That’s not a place you can go. If a fight breaks out, the impact will be huge.”
Jordan responded angrily. “Hmph, Mr. Howard, I’m saving your daughter-in-law now! I know what I’m doing. I don’t need you to teach me. I’m not at all happy that you secretly planted a tracker on me. If this happens again, don’t blame me for losing my temper!”
With that, Jordan hung up.
Jordan treated the Howards as family, so he did not take many precautions. He did not expect Martin to plant a tracker on him.
As the Blue House was heavily guarded and Zephyr Three was a huge plane, the Blue House guards would immediately be alerted once the jet landed.
So as they approached the location, Jordan said to Dragon, “Dragon, we’ll jump off from the plane here. We’ll sneak in and capture Park Anya!”
Dragon answered, “Yes!”
The two of them descended from the sky and moved quickly. However, before long, a few men in camouflage uniforms suddenly appeared in front of them.
“Damn it, we are so unlucky to encounter Blue House guards here!”
Jordan was a little surprised.
“Dragon, deal with them quickly. Don’t make any noise,” Jordan instructed. With Dragon’s abilities, it was not a problem for him to fight against multiple opponents.
Seeing that these men in camouflage uniforms were not armed, Dragon walked over confidently.
Bang bang bang bang!
Dragon fought with the men. He did not expect them to be so strong and did not manage to defeat them immediately. His opponents were very tenacious.
“What strong resistance!”
Jordan saw Dragon punching one of the men but he did not retreat at all. He was able to maintain his stance.
“Looks like I have to help too!”
Jordan did not expect there to be such powerful guards in South Korea. Even Dragon could not defeat them on his own.
Just as Jordan was about to attack, one of the men suddenly said, “Mr. Jordan, please don’t attack!”
The man spoke English with no trace of a Korean accent. Jordan was confused. “You are not… South Korean?”
Dragon and the men also stopped fighting.
The man in the lead nodded solemnly and introduced himself. “We’re part of the capital’s Black Ops Team. I’m the captain of Team One, Lionel.”
Jordan was taken aback. “Black Ops Team? What organization is that?”
This is the first time Jordan has heard of this group. No wonder their combat skills were so formidable. Even if Jordan had joined it, the two of them might not be able to defeat them.
Of course, in one-on-one combat, Dragon was invincible in the world.
Jordan asked, “Martin told you to come, right?”
With Martin’s influence in the capital, he probably knew about the existence of the Black Ops Team long ago. Moreover, he might have a close relationship with this organization.
Lionel said, “Yes, Mr. Howard is worried that Mr. Jordan will be impulsive and cause a disaster. We’re here to stop you from going to the Blue House. It’s not worth offending the Blue House for a mere woman. If you create a commotion inside the Blue House, this matter will no longer just affect you. In the worst-case scenario, it might create an international conflict between South Korea and our country!”
Jordan smiled. No wonder they wanted to stop him. They were worried that he would cause trouble for the country.
“Captain Lionel, you worry too much. I am going to the Blue House alone. At most, I’ll point the blame on the Steele family. It will not have any impact on an international level. You might not know this, but the Steele family has already migrated to England.”
In response, Lionel said sternly, “Mr. Jordan, I’m afraid that you are the one who doesn’t know something!”
Chapter 600
The words left Jordan puzzled. “Oh? What do you mean?”
Lionel said, “Although your grandfather, Mr. Steele, moved to England a few years ago, he has continued to work for the US. In fact, Mr. Steele has provided great technical help to our country’s military all these years. He is the benefactor of everyone in the US!”
Jordan was momentarily taken aback before carefully thinking about it.
Back then, the Deity could help the Steele family in any field, including the military. However, the Steele family did not have an army or military weapons. Moreover, to develop in the military field, one required a lot of research and highly-professional personnel.
If the Steeles wanted to make a breakthrough in this area, they had to cooperate with a country. It was only natural that the Steeles would work with the US.
It must have been the same for the other families. The Park family must be secretly helping the Korean military while the Miyamotos must be helping the Japanese military.
Lionel said, “Mr. Jordan, we already met when you first set foot in the capital. We especially came to talk with you today. Firstly, we have to stop you from entering the Blue House. Secondly, we would like to seek your opinion.”
“My opinion?” Jordan asked cautiously.
Lionel and his team had been secretly observing him for so long, but he did not notice at all. Their country’s Black Ops Team could not be underestimated!
Lionel asked, “If you take over the Steele family in the future, will you continue to offer military technology to our country?”
Jordan could tell that Lionel knew a lot about the Steeles’ strengths and secrets. At the very least, he already knew that the Steeles had military technology that surpassed this world for many years.
Although the Deity had been dead for 20 years, the Steeles had clearly not given all the technology they possessed to the country.
Otherwise, the Steele family would no longer be of any value.
The world would no longer be controlled by the eight great families.
Jordan was very cautious and didn’t answer directly. He smiled. “Why are you asking me this? You should ask my eldest brother. Since ancient times, it has always been the eldest son who inherits the family business. In the future, Jesse will be the one in charge of our family.”
Lionel remained expressionless. “We’ve already asked Mr. Jesse multiple times.”
“Oh? What did he say?” Jordan was curious.
Lionel shook his head. “Mr. Jesse doesn’t seem to have deep feelings for the US. He still refuses to give us a clear answer. We’re worried that if anything happens to Mr. Steele and the Steele family falls into Mr. Jesse’s hands, our country will not be able to obtain support from the Steeles anymore.
“We will of course feel that it is a pity. But we’re more worried that the Steele family will support other countries. Therefore, compared to Mr. Jesse, we hope that you will inherit the Steele family’s legacy instead!”
Jordan found it surprising that Jesse refused Lionel’s request. What was Jesse thinking?
Jordan smiled. “How do you know that I will definitely help you after I inherit the Steele family business?”
Lionel replied, “You’re Mr. Howard’s grandson-in-law. He said that you’re a very upright and loyal man. You also have deep feelings for our nation. You will definitely stand on our side!”
Jordan suddenly remembered that he had a similar conversation with Martin a few days ago. It turned out that he was trying to get information from him at that time.
“I want to call my grandfather.”
Jordan could not just listen to the words of an unknown person. His grandfather never told him about this. He had to ask his grandfather first.
“Hello, Grandpa.”
“Jordan, what’s the matter?”
“I met someone who claimed to be from the capital’s Black Ops Team. He said that we have been secretly helping the US, is he right?”
Charleston replied slowly, “Yes, child. It’s impossible for us to only develop the Internet and medicine. Military power is the source of confidence. Therefore, we have to cooperate with our country’s military. It’s the same for the other families. They are also helping their own countries. The China military is supported by the Rong and Geng families!
“However, in recent years, our nation’s military advancements have become increasingly pronounced. The other seven families, especially South Korea, Japan and China, blamed our family for that.”
Jordan could tell that Charleston was quite angry at that. He asked, “So, we were forced to leave the US by the other seven families?”
Charleston replied, “That’s right. At one of the great meetings, they kept criticizing and rebuking our family. I had no choice but to move to England and temporarily cut off all contact with the US. Most of the big shots in the political and business circles in the US thought that I was running away after making enough money in the US. Little do they know that the money I earned from our US businesses is nothing compared to the actual wealth of the Steele family.”
Only then did Jordan realize why the Steele family wanted to move to England and why they were despised and mocked in the top circles of the US.
Those people had no idea what the Steeles had done for their country!
Of course, they had no right to know these secrets!
“Grandpa, the people from the Black Ops Team asked me if I would continue helping them in the future. How should I reply?”
Charleston replied, “Jordan, you are an adult now. In the future, if the great responsibility of the Steele family is handed over to you, the decision will be entirely in your hands. Grandpa can’t tell you what to do. Whether you help or not, I will respect your choice. The same goes for your brother.”
Jordan paused for a moment before responding. “Alright, I understand. Grandpa, I’ll hang up first.”
After hanging up, Jordan faced Lionel. “Captain Lionel, although I grew up overseas, I have deep feelings for the US. My two wives are also from the US. Therefore, I can tell you clearly today that if I take over the Steele family in the future, I will continue to support the US military like my grandfather is doing now!”
When Lionel heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Lionel and his men said in unison, “General, on behalf of the citizens of the US, thank you!”
Jordan was stunned.
“What did you call me??”
