Chapter 971
Clara was indeed not a simple woman!
Yes, she was not a Deity and did not have Jordan’s ability to predict the future. However, just going by the way Shaun looked at her and her thorough understanding of him, she could accurately guess her fate.
She could clearly feel the deep love and regret in Shaun’s eyes when he looked at her.
Shaun did not admit it. He could not change the outcome of Clara being killed by Jordan. He did not want her to know that she was going to die soon.
He only hoped that she could spend her last minutes happily.
Shaun sighed. “Sigh, you’re always so paranoid. You’ve been like this since you were young.”
Clara looked at Shaun with love. She knew that her time was up, and her eyes filled with tears.
“Shaun, I’m very happy. I’m really happy. I don’t care about myself. Even if I really die later, I am happy to see you fulfill your dream before I die. I am happy to know that you’ve replaced Rong Bailun and finally became the number one person in the world! I am happy even if I am to die!”
Clara’s heartfelt words made Shaun cry.
He pulled her into his arms.
“Clara!!”
Shaun couldn’t hold back the tears as be cried.
Clara also cried, but she took the initiative to wipe her tears and said to Shaun, “I’m Victoria now. I’m so beautiful. I should show you my most beautiful side. I shouldn’t cry. Shaun, let me serve you as
Victoria?”
Shaun looked at Victoria’s beautiful figure and couldn’t help gulping. “You… are really willing?”
“Yes! We should take revenge on Jordan together! He’s the one who made us lose our home!”
Clara was vehement.
Shaun nodded and grabbed Rong Bingshao, who was lying on the bed, before throwing him to the floor.
As this was happening, Shaun sneered and thought to himself: ‘Jordan, even though you’re a Deity, you never expected that I would be the person sleeping with your wife!”
…
Meanwhile, Jordan from 2021 and Lionel had already arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel where the real Clara was hiding.
Jordan knew that his other self would meet Lionel tonight, so he had already instructed him not to mention the paper explosions again.
Lionel treated Jordan’s every word as gospel and did not dare to disobey.
The capital was no longer in danger and Clara had just killed several of Lionel’s subordinates. Things had gotten very troublesome. So Lionel was not in the mood to talk about the paper explosions anyway.
…
Four Seasons Hotel, the entrance of room 507.
Jordan from 2021 and Lionel stood at the door, preparing to attack. Wearing an invisible cloak, Jordan snuck into the room and heard Clara’s laughter.
“Go to hell, old witch!”
Jordan waved his dagger and stabbed Clara!
However, when Clara looked at Jordan’s face, she was neither shocked nor angry. She still had a warm smile on her face.
Jordan was very confused. What kind of person would smile after being stabbed?
If Clara was a woman who was not afraid of death, she would not have escaped from Switzerland.
Jordan hated Clara for controlling Victoria. When he saw her smile, he became even angrier.
Therefore, he stabbed Clara again and again!
However, Clara was still smiling even as she died!
“What a terrifying woman!”
Jordan was shocked. His understanding of human psychology had already reached perfection. However, even he could not understand why a person would smile without any fear when faced with imminent death!
One year later, after Jordan found out about Victoria and the 18-year-old boy, he finally understood.
It turned out that Clara wasn’t talking to him at that time.
That smile was also a provocation to Jordan.
The smile seemed to be saying: ‘So what if you killed me? I’ve already ruined your wife’s body.’
However, later on, Jordan felt that something was wrong.
At their age and status, their bodies and chastity were no longer important. This was something that only young folks from ordinary families would care about.
How could such mundane matters be compared to life and death?
Jordan felt that this was not enough to make Clara smile so brightly.
If Jordan knew what had happened, he would finally understand why Clara was smiling so happily.
Her happiness had nothing to do with Jordan or the 18-year-old boy.
Her dying smile was for her husband, Shaun!
She was smiling so happily before she died because she had witnessed her husband fulfilling his dream!
She knew that in the future, her husband would replace Rong Bailun and become the number one person in the world!
She knew that in the future, Shaun would kill Jordan to avenge her!
This was the most accurate interpretation of Clara’s strange smile.
…
Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the presidential suite.
“Clara! Clara!”
Shaun shook Victoria’s body and kept shouting.
Due to Clara’s sudden death, her connection with Victoria had been severed.
Victoria immediately fainted as well.
Shaun knew that Clara had just been killed by Jordan. He was devastated as he hugged “Victoria” and cried in sorrow.
“Clara… I’ve let you down. I’ve let you down, Honey! You stayed by me all this while, but I never managed to give you a good life. You’ve suffered with me since you were a young girl. When you reached Switzerland, you didn’t dare to go out and spend money even though you had it. You stayed in the castle all day.
“You wanted children but I refused. I wanted to only have children after we became Rong Bailun and his wife. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!! I couldn’t even fulfill this simple wish of yours!!
“Arghhhhhhh!”
Shaun was crying profusely. He had never felt so heartbroken before.
Earlier today, he had indicated to Jordan that he did not care about Clara’s death.
But it was all a lie.
Shaun and Clara had known each other since they were young children. Their relationship spanned decades and they were even closer than blood relations. How could he not care?
Shaun still treated Victoria as Clara. He hugged her tightly and roared.
“Clara, I will definitely avenge you! Jordan! You killed my wife. This grudge is irreconcilable! I swear that I will kill you with my own hands! I will avenge my wife! Rong Huangde! You ruined my life by killing
my father and uncle. You even want to pry into the Handley family’s secrets!
“I swear that when I travel back in time to decades ago, to the time when my father and uncles were still alive, I will definitely work with them to kill you and Jordan! When Jordan travels back in time to Cocodrie to help you investigate the secrets of the Handley family, it will be the time for Jordan and Rong Huangde to be destroyed!
“By then, I will become the number one person in the world!”
Chapter 972
Shaun had just “witnessed” his wife’s death. At this moment, he was venting all his emotions.
Usually, Shaun was a pretentious person who knew how to hide his true emotions. In front of Jordan and Rong Huangde, he pretended to be compliant and curry favor with them.
However, in Shaun’s dark heart, he wanted to get rid of them.
Just like when he killed Ban Luming. A second ago, he treated him as his good brother and subordinate. In the next second, he cut off his head.
Shaun’s cries gradually softened. He used a tissue to wipe the tears on Victoria’s body. He then kissed Victoria’s forehead and took out a pink scarf from his pocket to cover her face.
It was like covering the face of a dead person.
Although Victoria was not dead, she was now Clara in Shaun’s eyes.
This scarf belonged to Clara. He had specially brought it over from 2022.
After paying his respects, Shaun walked to Rong Bingshao, who was lying on the ground. He searched Rong Bingshao’s body to see if he could find anything that would confirm his identity.
Shaun soon found the “body treatment device” invented by the Rong family on him. This thing could be activated after an injury occurred, to automatically analyze and treat the person. There was no need to find a doctor. It was very convenient.
It was also a defensive system that could be activated to kill enemies.
“This is indeed Rong Bingshao!”
Shaun was completely certain that the person in front of him was Rong Bingshao. He looked at Rong Bingshao and smiled wickedly. “Hmph, since I have you as a scapegoat, I’ll just push all the blame for what happened just now to you. Anyway, you idiot. You’re so bent on taking revenge on Jordan, that you’ll be dying to admit that you ruined Victoria.”
Apart from the death of his wife, everything else went smoothly for Shaun today. He had been intimate with the wife of a Deity and found a perfect scapegoat. Jordan would never suspect him.
Shaun immediately used his mental power to hypnotize Rong Bingshao and instill all the images of him and Victoria into his mind.
It made Rong Bingshao believe that he really slept with Victoria.
Shaun took off Rong Bingshao’s clothes and threw him and Victoria together.
He then quickly left.
Rong Bingshao soon woke up. He felt dizzy.
Looking at Victoria, Rong Bingshao recalled the fake memories planted by Shaun.
Rong Bingshao couldn’t help chuckling. “Hehe, I succeeded. Victoria is indeed a woman favored by the Deity. It was very enjoyable! But when did I faint? Just now, there seemed to be a cat in the room… Could it be that witch, Clara, who knocked me out? Hmph, that old woman is really detestable!”
Rong Bingshao knew that Clara knew witchcraft, so he thought that she had done it.
And he also knew that Clara should be dead by now.
Looking at the unconscious Victoria, Rong Bingshao thought to himself: ‘This woman is so charming. I just got her, but my heart is still itching. Forget it, I should leave quickly. The other Jordan is looking for
Victoria all over the capital.”
Rong Bingshao didn’t dare to waste time. He took a photo, put on his clothes, and left.
At this moment, Jordan from 2022, who was in China, had temporarily blocked the Geng family’s paper bombs from exploding in the US capital.
Meanwhile, after receiving the news, people in the capital were quickly collecting all the suspicious papers.
Jordan placed Geng Anli back in her room. He would treat it as if she did not know about anything that just happened. Then he left and called Shaun.
“Shaun, how’s the situation on your side? How… is Victoria?”
Jordan was very worried about Victoria.
Shaun said, “Jordan, this matter is a little complicated. Let’s talk when we meet! I’ll wait for you in the capital!”
Since Shaun was unwilling to say it over the phone, Jordan could guess that the outcome was not good. He rushed back to the capital. By the time he arrived, it was already morning.
The warm and bright sunlight shone on every corner of the capital. The office workers went about their usual busy day.
They had no idea how terrifying yesterday had been, and how close they had come to danger.
If not for Jordan, they might all have died.
Jordan had stopped an epic disaster, but no one knew about it. And Jordan had just done what he had to do. He did not need any reward or glory.
All he wanted to know now was if the woman he loved had been saved.
Shaun leisurely enjoyed a doughnut and coffee before rushing to the airport to meet Jordan.
Jordan’s plane landed at the airport.
Shaun ran over quickly. Before Jordan could come down, he ran up himself.
Jordan asked impatiently, “Shaun, how did it go? I didn’t use my prediction ability. I’m worried that the outcome is bad. I hope you can tell me that you stopped it!”
Shaun suddenly cried and knelt down. He hugged Jordan’s thigh. “I’m sorry, Jordan! I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t change it. My beautiful sister-in-law was still ruined!”
Jordan was furious. “Shaun, you did it on purpose, right? You stood by and watched, right? With your ability, how could you not be able to deal with an 18-year-old boy?! Don’t tell me you’re afraid of changing history. You have so many tricks and methods. I don’t believe you can’t find a perfect solution!”
Shaun said sincerely, “I know. I really wanted to help you resolve this matter! Not only are you my good brother, you’re also a Deity. You’re the most noble person in the world! How can the woman of a Deity be touched by an ordinary boy?!
“Last night, I already thought of a countermeasure. I wanted to get rid of that 18-year-old boy in advance. So I disguised myself and quietly followed that boy, wanting to ambush him. However, he suddenly reached out and it was a metal arm holding a weapon. He knocked me unconscious.”
Jordan didn’t believe him at all. “Nonsense. How could you be knocked out by a high school student?”novelbin
Shaun sighed. “I also thought that he was just an ordinary high school student, so I was careless and didn’t use my ultimate move at all. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost so badly. Jordan, do you know who that 18-year-old boy is? He’s not an ordinary high school boy. He’s Rong Bingshao!”
Chapter 973
Jordan was completely shocked.
“What did you say? That 18-year-old boy… is Rong Bingshao?”
Shaun stood up and said very seriously, “Yes, before I fainted, I clearly saw that the kid was wearing a ring with the Rong family’s name on his right index finger. After I woke up, that kid happened to be leaving the hotel. I secretly followed him and saw him take off his makeup and wig. He also put on black armor and flew out of the capital.
“I can bet on my life that the 18-year-old boy is Rong Bingshao!”
Jordan clenched his fists tightly and trembled in anger.
For Jordan from 2022, it had been a long time since Victoria’s incident. Jordan had already let go of this matter.
To be honest, Jordan was a Deity. On the way to the capital, he had already expected that the outcome might not be good.
Otherwise, with Shaun’s character, he would definitely have bragged about his success over the phone. Jordan even thought that perhaps this was Victoria’s fate. He did not particularly think of taking revenge on anyone.
However, at this moment, Jordan’s hatred had reached its peak!
That boy was not an ordinary high school student, but Rong Bingshao!
He had deliberately wanted to ruin Victoria!
This was a completely different situation! He remembered that when he found out about Victoria’s situation, Dragon and Jordan had followed Victoria’s car as she drove away.
At that time, Dragon asked Jordan if he should investigate who the 18-year-old boy was.
The meaning behind Dragon’s words was very obvious. If Jordan wanted to take revenge on this boy, Dragon would immediately send someone to do it.
However, Jordan did not let him do that.
He felt that the 18-year-old boy was also innocent. The real culprit was Clara.
It was Clara who had taken the initiative to seduce this boy. Therefore, Jordan would rather not know who that person was. Otherwise, he might really want to kill him.
Now that he thought about it, Jordan should have asked Dragon to investigate.
If they investigated, they would find out that that person was not an ordinary high school student!
Furious, Jordan punched the window of the plane.
“Rong Bingshao! You deliberately lured me to China, only for you to come to the capital and taint my woman! You beast, I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!!”
Shaun was secretly delighted when he saw that Jordan completely believed that Rong Bingshao was the culprit. He pretended to be on Jordan’s side and continued to fan the flames.
“Sigh, I can understand your feelings at this moment. I’m also very angry! That beastly Rong Bingshao not only cuckolded you, he also cuckolded me! Sigh, damn it, we are two grown men who have experienced so much but were humiliated by a brat who has just reached adulthood!
“After what happened, I was furious that I couldn’t sleep the entire night and couldn’t eat a single thing. But what can we do? Rong Bingshao is Rong Huangde’s biological grandson. I killed Rong Bailun so that brat is Rong Huangde’s only living heir. Forget about Rong Bingshao. Even if he killed our wives, we wouldn’t dare to touch him!”
Shaun pretended to be a victim too. On one hand, it was to make Jordan feel better. On the other hand, he was advising Jordan that he could only grit his teeth and endure this matter.
However, Jordan’s terrifying gaze meant that he would never let Rong Bingshao off.
Jordan said, “Rong Bingshao slept with my wife and used the lives of thousands of citizens in the capital to threaten me. This beast must die! I don’t care whose child he is. I must teach him a lesson!”
When Shaun saw that Jordan seemed to be serious, he hurriedly reminded him, “No, Jordan, you have to calm down. If you do it, Rong Huangde will definitely not let you use his family’s time machine. How are you going to save Victoria then? A little impatience will spoil a great plan. You must reconsider this carefully! Besides, it’s not that I look down on you, but with our strength, we can’t defeat the Rong family.”
Shaun repeatedly reminded Jordan of the gulf between him and the Rong family.
Ever since he was a young boy, Jordan had been proud and aloof. Now that he was a Deity, how could he be willing to be inferior to others?
Jordan said, “It’s true that I can’t compare to the Rong family’s technological weapons now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t defeat him!”
Shaun shook his head. “You’re too stubborn. The difference in strength between us and the Rong family is like an ordinary person fighting Mike Tyson one-on-one in a boxing match. How can we win? The difference is too great.”
Jordan asked, “Let me ask you, in a one-on-one fight, who is stronger? You or Rong Bingshao?”
Shaun smiled confidently. “I can play that fake son of mine to death. 10 of him combined won’t be enough to play with me. He can use any weapon he wants.”
Jordan continued, “The difference in strength between the two of you is obvious. So why were you defeated by him?”
Shaun was momentarily taken aback and did not immediately respond. He had made the whole incident up and didn’t know how to answer.
But he soon collected himself.
“Don’t tell me you want to ambush them? How?”
Jordan did not answer. Instead, he picked up his phone and called Lionel.
“Hello, Lionel. I asked you to collect all suspicious-looking papers yesterday. How did it go?” Jordan asked.
Lionel answered, “We’ve already collected them all. We’re currently thinking of a way to destroy them. I don’t know if we should burn them or douse them with water. It would be best if you can give us some advice.”
Jordan said, “Send all the papers to me. I’ll help you get rid of them.” novelbin
“Yes!”
Shaun, who had been secretly feeling delighted at Jordan’s rage, suddenly became especially nervous.
“Jordan, are you going to…”
Shaun felt a little worried.
It seemed that Jordan was really going against the Rong family!
Jordan said fiercely, “I’ll bring all the paper bombs in the capital back to the year 2022 with me. I want Rong Huangde to make a choice. Either his grandson pays the price, or we all die together!”
Shaun panicked. “Deity Jordan! You can’t do this! How can you risk your life for a 30-year-old middle- aged woman? To die with the Rong family for her?! Victoria is just an ordinary female businesswoman. What right does she have to cause a Deity to start a world war for her?
“You weren’t her first man. Perhaps you weren’t even her second or third. You’re just a man she met when she was 30 years old. Even without you, she would have been with another rich man. You think too highly of that b*tch!”
Shaun absolutely did not want to see Jordan and the Rong family in open conflict. It would not be good for him no matter who died!
And if both of them died, Shaun could forget about his own life!
Chapter 974
Jordan and Rong Huangde controlled Shaun’s life and death. If anything happened to them, he would have no way out.
Moreover, Shaun hoped that everything would go according to the original plan. He had decided to kill Jordan and Rong Huangde when they traveled back in time to Cocodrie.
Of course, the premise was that by then, Shaun would have resolved the “golden headband curse” and poison on his body. This way, when Shaun traveled back to the present, he would be the undisputed master of the world.
As a result, he slandered Victoria and made her sound like a sl*t.
Actually, after Shaun slept with Victoria, he did feel that this woman was not as pure as he imagined.
Of course, it might have something to do with Clara’s control. But Clara had also commented on Victoria, saying that she didn’t look like a woman who had only been in a relationship only once or twice.
When Jordan heard Shaun’s words, he punched him angrily. Shaun did not dodge.
Boom!
Jordan said angrily, “Shaun, if you dare to say anything bad about Victoria again, I won’t let you off either! I don’t care how bad her background is. I only know that she’s my woman. I can’t work with the Rong family like nothing happened after my woman was tainted by them in this way!
“I want Rong Bingshao to know the consequences of offending a Deity! I want Rong Huangde to know that I’m not someone whom he can afford to offend!”
If Jordan tolerated this matter, Rong Huangde and his grandson would definitely look down on him. They already behaved so high and mightily. In the future, they would probably humiliate him even more.
Therefore, Jordan had to fight back!
Even if this battle were to turn into another world war!
Shaun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He knew that he could not persuade Jordan.
“Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, as your good partner, I can only stand on your side and help you! Jordan, what exactly do you plan to do?”
Jordan tried to calm himself down. He had to deal with the most powerful family in the world.
If it was just Rong Bingshao alone, there was naturally no need to put in much effort. But if Rong Huangde insisted on protecting Rong Bingshao, then Jordan would have to fight against the entire Rong family.
Jordan said, “Our fists and weapons don’t pose much of a threat to the Rong family. We have to threaten them with the Geng family’s paper. Later, after Lionel transports the papers over, I’ll travel back to the present with them.”
Shaun had already guessed that Jordan planned to use the paper bombs against the Rong family.
The paper bombs invented by the Geng family were one of the most difficult weapons to deal with in the world. This was because they would keep exploding, and each subsequent explosion would double in power. No one could stop it.
Shaun asked, “I know you want to do this, but how do you plan to detonate them? Will you contact Geng Anli after going back?”
Jordan shook his head. “Anli won’t help me deal with the Rong family. She doesn’t have the guts. I’ll go to Suzhou again. I’ll make a timed detonation program and set the time for tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Not tomorrow in the current timeline, but tomorrow in 2022.”
Shaun understood and nodded.
Jordan wanted to set the detonation a year in advance. After they traveled back to the year 2022, it would automatically explode even without Madam Geng’s help.
Shaun couldn’t help sighing. Jordan was getting more and more powerful. He even knew how to create a detonation program himself.
Actually, Jordan had worked with so many scientific experts and developed the Mirakuru serum, weather weapons, and so on. He was a very knowledgeable expert himself. There was no need for him to rely on others to complete this simple program.
“Alright, I’ll go back with you to China. You must be very tired after flying back. I’ll fly the plane for you!”
Shaun immediately expressed his loyalty.
…
The year 2022.
Rong Bingshao emerged from the Time Gate. Rong Huangde had poured champagne and was ready to celebrate his grandson’s first victory.
Taking off his armor and oxygen mask, Rong Bingshao had a smile on his face as he walked toward Rong Huangde.
“Grandpa!”
Rong Huangde smiled and asked, “How was it, Bingshao? Did it work?”
Rong Bingshao had a smug smile on his face. “Of course. I’m your grandson, the future successor of the Rong family. How can I disappoint you? Not only did I stop Jordan from saving Victoria, but I also tricked Jordan into going to China. Thereafter, I flew to the US capital and disguised myself as an 18- year-old high school student and slept with Victoria.
“Haha, so what if he’s a Deity? He still ended up being played by me! By the way, Grandpa, let me share my victory with you!”
With that, Rong Bingshao took out his phone and showed Rong Huangde a photo.
Rong Huangde glanced at the photo. It was an intimate photo of Rong Bingshao and Victoria on the bed. He smiled and shook his head. It was a little awkward for an old man to look at such photos.
Picking up a glass of champagne, Rong Huangde handed it to Rong Bingshao. “Well done. However, you should delete the photo. It will be terrible if Jordan sees it.”
Rong Bingshao put down his phone and snorted. “Hmph, so what if he finds out? What can he do to me? He still has to rely on our family’s equipment to go back and save Victoria. Nevertheless, Grandpa, I’ve angered Jordan this time. He will definitely cause trouble with me when he comes back!”
Rong Huangde patted Rong Bingshao’s shoulder and comforted him. “Don’t worry, I have prepared for this. I’ll be here with you. With me around, he won’t dare to mess with you.” novelbin
Rong Bingshao smiled proudly. “Cheers, Grandpa!”
Clink.
The two champagne glasses touched each other to celebrate Rong Bingshao’s complete victory over Jordan.
In Rong Huangde’s opinion, the status of the future master of the world would definitely be a battle between Jordan and Rong Bingshao.
It was very important for Rong Bingshao to have a victory over Jordan now.
The two of them thought that Jordan and Shaun would return very soon. However, after waiting for an entire day, neither of them returned.
Rong Bingshao played with his phone in boredom. From time to time, he would recall those beautiful memories with Victoria. The more he thought about it, the more unreal it felt.
“Sigh, I was too timid. I should have taken her again after I woke up,” Rong Bingshao muttered to himself.
Rong Huangde appeared to be reading, but he was actually rather bored from waiting for Jordan. He overheard Rong Bingshao muttering and asked, “What do you mean after you woke up? What are you talking about?”
Rong Bingshao answered, “Oh, when I was with Victoria, or rather, Clara. I fell asleep for some time.”
Suddenly, they heard the Time Gate turn!
“Jordan is back!”
Rong Huangde and Rong Bingshao quickly got up!
Chapter 975
Rong Huangde and his grandson became serious because they expected Jordan to be upset and give them trouble.
However, when the duo arrived, the atmosphere was not that tense. Instead, it was a little comical.
“Oh, damn it. This door is too small. The box is stuck! Can anyone come over to help?” Shaun shouted.
Jordan and Shaun had traveled back with a large box made of special materials.
“A box?”
Rong Huangde and his grandson stood rooted to the ground. They did not dare to move forward. In the end, Jordan used force to squeeze the large box in.
Rong Huangde was cunning and already thought of a solution. He glanced at the box and walked forward with a smile. “Mr. Jordan, you’re back? How did it go? Did you successfully save Ms. Victoria?”
“Oh, what’s in this big box? Can I take a look?”
But Jordan just glared fiercely at Rong Bingshao.
Ignoring Rong Huangde, Jordan walked straight to Rong Bingshao. “Rong Bingshao! You piece of trash!”
Jordan dared to curse Rong Bingshao even in front of Rong Huangde. Not only did Jordan curse him, but he also wanted to kill this beastly boy in front of Rong Huangde!
At this moment, an electric guitar solo played.
This tune was very familiar. It was from the original soundtrack of the famous movie “Kill Bill” called “Battle Without Honor Or Humanity”.
The tune came from the phone in Shaun’s pocket. Rong Bingshao’s English name was Bill so Shaun deliberately played this tune to warn Rong Huangde that Jordan wanted to kill Rong Bingshao!
Shaun naturally didn’t want Jordan to succeed. If Jordan killed Rong Bingshao, Rong Huangde would kill him.
In the end, Shaun did not get what he wanted.
Hearing this tune playing, Jordan turned around and glared at Shaun.
Shaun immediately picked up his phone, cutting off the music. He pretended to answer a call. “Hello, who is this? What? You are selling insurance?”
Jordan ignored him and continued to glare at Rong Bingshao.
After Shaun’s warning, Rong Huangde immediately knew what Jordan was planning. Rong Huangde went forward.
“Mr. Jordan, don’t be rash. Is there some misunderstanding? Bingshao, did you provoke Deity Jordan again? What did you do?!”
Rong Huangde pretended to be completely unaware, just like the previous time. After all, Rong Huangde still had to work with Jordan. He had to remain on friendly terms with the Deity.
Rong Bingshao snorted. “Jordan, you’re really patriotic. In order to prevent trouble in the capital, you were willing to sacrifice your wife, Victoria.” novelbin
Rong Huangde pretended to be surprised. “What? You traveled back in time to create trouble for Jordan again? Mr. Jordan, this is all my fault. I didn’t discipline him well. I apologize to you on his behalf.
“However, what happened between Victoria and the 18-year-old boy can’t be changed. Do you remember what I said? Actually, it’s a mistake for you to want to change it. No matter what, it will happen.”
Jordan glanced at Rong Huangde. He didn’t know if Rong Huangde was clueless or was just pretending. And he didn’t want to know!
It wasn’t important!
Regardless of whether Rong Huangde knew about it or not, Jordan had to make Rong Bingshao pay for humiliating him and Victoria!
Jordan looked at Rong Huangde. “What happened can’t be changed. Yes, that’s correct! But your grandson is that 18-year-old boy who booked a room with my wife. Tell me, how can I not take revenge?!”
Rong Huangde and Rong Bingshao were both shocked.
Jordan actually knew that the high school student was Rong Bingshao in disguise?
How did he know?!
Rong Huangde glanced at Shaun, who scratched his head.
For the sake of future cooperation, Rong Huangde could not make his relationship with Jordan too awkward. Therefore, Rong Huangde tried to defuse the situation. “Mr. Jordan, could there be a misunderstanding? How could my grandson do such a thing? At most, he just…”
Before Rong Huangde could finish, Rong Bingshao couldn’t hold it in anymore. He shouted angrily at Jordan.
“That’s right! I’m that 18-year-old boy! I’m the one who slept with your woman! You almost crippled me last time. Why can’t I teach you a lesson?! Jordan, remember this. You’re just a dog of the Rong family! My grandfather treats you politely, but you don’t know your place!”
“Shut up!”
Rong Huangde was angry and flustered now. He scolded Rong Bingshao.
Rong Huangde immediately apologized. “Deity Jordan, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect Bingshao to do such a bad thing. I sincerely apologize to you on his behalf! I hope you can forgive him this time on account of his young age.”
Jordan sneered. “Forgive him? You want me to forgive him? I’m a Deity. Do you think I’ll forgive him after humiliating me like this?!”
Rong Bingshao shouted, “So what if you don’t forgive me?! This is our family’s territory! I can have my grandfather kill you here anytime!”
Jordan looked at Rong Huangde. “Your grandson has already admitted it. Yes, I want to kill him. Are you going to protect him?”
When Rong Huangde saw that Jordan had made up his mind, he knew that he would not be able to persuade him with just a few words. Just as Rong Bingshao said, this was the Rong family’s territory. Rong Huangde couldn’t show too much fear of Jordan or appear too ingratiating.
Having no other choice, Rong Huangde placed his hands behind his back with a cold expression. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve shown you respect and I want to work with you to explore the Handley family’s secrets. I’m very sorry about what happened to your wife. However, in my opinion, this is not a big deal.”
“The woman is just an ordinary woman whom my grandson slept with. Is this really that important? For ordinary people, it might only take a few thousand dollars to make them pretend that nothing happened. What you and I have on the line is a world-class secret! Do you want to ruin our good relationship over such a small matter?”
Seeing this, Shaun leaned over and advised. “He’s right, Jordan. Think about the big picture.”
Boom!
Jordan punched Shaun.
Jordan looked at Rong Huangde very seriously. “Exploring the Handley family’s secrets is your business, not mine. I’ll ask you again. I want to kill your grandson. What will you do?!”
Rong Huangde sighed. “In that case, fine. I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I won’t let you hurt my grandson in any way!”
Chapter 976
Jordan had already guessed that Rong Huangde would protect his grandson.
It was human nature. No grandfather would let others kill his grandson.
It was possible that the grandfather was helpless, but Rong Huangde was clearly stronger than Jordan in all aspects. It was impossible for him to let Jordan do as he pleased.
Jordan said, “Alright, in that case, Mr. Rong, our friendship is over. I officially declare war on your family!”
Jordan’s words made the Rongs feel deeply threatened.
Rong Bingshao pointed at Jordan. “What right do you have to start a war with our family?! You’re a turtle in a jar now! You can’t even walk out of this house!”
But Rong Huangde just frowned. He knew that Jordan was not someone who would make baseless claims.
That large box…
Rong Huangde cautiously looked at the large box Jordan had brought with him. He guessed that there might be something very dangerous hidden inside.
At this moment, Jordan took the initiative to open the large box.
Everyone saw that it was filled with paper.
Rong Huangde instantly felt a hint of fear. “These are… papers invented by the Geng family that can explode? And there are so many of them?”
Rong Bingshao was also shocked: ‘Damn it, he must have gotten it from the capital! He brought back all the papers from the capital!’
Jordan said, “That’s right. It’s all thanks to you, you trash of a kid. After the capital was threatened, I immediately gathered all the papers sent from China and brought them here. Rong Bingshao, just the fact that you threatened to detonate the paper in the capital and kill thousands of citizens is enough reason for me to kill you!”
Rong Bingshao snorted. “I’m not American. What do your American lives have to do with me? Don’t think you can scare us just because you brought these papers over. Everyone knows that the key to detonating these papers is at the Geng family base. You’re here now, how can you detonate these papers?”
Rong Huangde was still cautious. “Have you’ve already arranged for someone to be at Geng Anli’s in advance?”
Jordan shook his head. “No, I modified the program and set it to detonate at a certain time. The time set is…”
Jordan looked at his watch before continuing. “In two minutes.”
Shaun panicked and hurriedly said, “Dad, Son, hurry up and compromise with Deity Jordan! He isn’t doing this just to scare you. These are indeed the paper bombs that the Geng family placed in the entire capital. There are several times more papers than the ones planted in our western China secret base! Once they explode, the consequences will be unimaginable. Everyone here, as well as the Time Gate, will be blown to pieces!”
Shaun didn’t expect Jordan to care so much about Victoria. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have told him that the 18-year-old boy was Rong Bingshao.
But Shaun was the one who slept with Victoria so he had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Jordan would suspect him. So he had to push the blame to someone else as soon as possible to prevent Jordan from suspecting him.
Rong Huangde became very nervous and immediately called Geng Anli.
“Anli, this is Rong Huangde. Stop the detonation of the paper bombs for the capital immediately.”
When Geng Anli heard Rong Huangde’s voice, she screamed in fear.
“Oh my god, Uncle Rong? How did you…”
To Geng Anli, Rong Huangde was long dead. It was too shocking to hear the voice of someone who had been dead for 10 years.
Rong Huangde didn’t have the time to explain this to her. “Let’s not talk about this first. Stop the detonation immediately! Hurry! You only have one minute. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences!”
Geng Anli could hear the threat in Rong Huangde’s voice. She knew very well that he was a very terrifying existence, far more powerful than Rong Bailun.
In fact, Geng Anli had been deeply influenced by Rong Huangde. He had guided and advised on many of the Geng Anli family’s inventions and procedures.
“Yes!”
Geng Anli flew to the detonation control base as quickly as possible and was surprised to find that her secret place had been tampered with.
“Damn it, who set this timed detonation system?!”
Jordan had hidden his timed detonation system very well. Under usual circumstances, no one would be able to spot it. One would only detect it when he was about to detonate the paper bombs placed in the capital.
Geng Anli said over the phone, “Uncle Rong, I saw that the papers in the capital have been relocated to Fort Rong in China.”
Rong Huangde said impatiently, “Cut the crap and stop it!”
Geng Anli said, “I’m sorry, I can’t do it. The program has a password. I don’t have the password to stop the detonation. It will take at least 10 minutes if we want to hack the password. And the paper bombs will explode soon. There’s no time…”
“What?”
Rong Huangde panicked when he heard this.
“What’s wrong, Grandpa? What did Auntie Geng say?” Rong Bingshao quickly asked.
Jordan said, “Mr. Rong, don’t waste your efforts. Since I have decided to detonate this place, how can I let you stop me so easily?”
Rong Huangde knew that things were not looking good. Although he had lived for 80 years, this was the first time he was going against a Deity.
Click.
Rong Huangde immediately pressed the alarm. When the staff heard it, they all went on high alert.
Many soldiers were already on standby at the entrance with weapons in their hands!novelbin
This was the Rong family’s territory. Be it people or weapons, the Rongs had the advantage. Rong Huangde was confident in defeating Jordan in those aspects.
But now, Rong Huangde was stunned. This was the first time in his life that he was forced into such a state. He said angrily to Jordan, “Jordan, I didn’t expect you to destroy this place and perish with us for a common woman. There’s clearly a bigger and more dazzling world waiting for you at the other end of the Time Gate, but you don’t care at all!
“Jordan, you’re not worthy to be the successor of the Steele family. You and your father are both trash without ambition! Charleston, that old fool, actually handed over the Steele family business to you two. I feel sorry for Randall Steele!”
Jordan was also extremely angry. He pointed at Rong Huangde and said, “You’re not worthy to mention my uncle’s name!”
Randall was Jordan’s uncle. He had a good impression of this uncle. When Jordan was young, Randall doted on him very much.
Rong Huangde snorted. “I’m not worthy? What do you know, little kid? My understanding of your uncle far exceeds yours! Randall is the only ambitious and capable talent in the Steele family! He came to me for help back then and asked me to help him obtain the position of the Steele family’s successor. Unfortunately, I rejected him.”
At the mention of Randall’s character and ability, Shaun narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.
Shaun had interacted with Randall before, so he knew very well who he was.
Rong Huangde stopped talking about the past. He grabbed Rong Bingshao’s hand and said, “Bingshao, let’s go. Let them get blown up by the paper bombs that they brought over themselves!”
Chapter 977
Rong Bingshao was about to leave when he glanced at Shaun, who was standing with Jordan.
At this moment, he still did not know Shaun’s true identity.
Rong Bingshao said, “Dad is not leaving?”
Rong Huangde tugged at Rong Bingshao. “That’s not your father! That’s Shaun!”
“What?”
Rong Bingshao was confused.
Rong Huangde sighed. “I’ll explain to you later. Let’s leave this place first!”
But Jordan said, “You want to leave? Take my gift before you leave!”
Jordan suddenly took out a stack of papers from the big box and threw them at Rong Bingshao.
“Ah!”
Rong Bingshao was shocked. He knew that the papers would explode in another minute, so he hurriedly pushed them away.
However, these papers had been specially processed by Jordan and stuck to Rong Bingshao’s clothes.
“Grandpa, this is bad. These papers are stuck. I can’t take them off!”
Rong Huangde said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine after taking off your clothes.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Rong Bingshao immediately started to take off his clothes.
However, Rong Huangde immediately shouted, “Don’t take off your clothes now! If you take off your clothes right now, Jordan will just throw more paper onto your skin. Take off your clothes after we get out.”
“Oh…”
Rong Huangde shook his head helplessly. Rong Huangde’s actual combat experience was too weak. If not for his help, he would have had no chance of defeating Jordan. He would have been killed dozens of times by Jordan.
If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely train him again. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to take over the position of the master of the world.
Rong Bingshao was very angry and immediately shouted at Dr. T. “Dr. T, attack Jordan! Electrocute him! Electrocute him to death!”
“Yes, Master!”
Dr. T received the order and immediately attacked Jordan!
Jordan dodged, but he couldn’t dodge this damn robot’s attack.
“Argh!”
Jordan was electrocuted again and cried out.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Rong Huangde urged again. For such a big shot like him to live to 80 years old, it was all thanks to his caution. Otherwise, he would have been assassinated countless times by other families. If they delayed any longer, he might be killed by the explosion.
However, Rong Bingshao was unscrupulous. Seeing that there was still some time, he said, “Wait, Grandpa. I want to show Jordan something.”
Rong Bingshao took out his phone and showed Jordan a photo.
In the photo, the beautiful Victoria was hugging a handsome high school boy in a large bed in a five- star hotel.
Rong Bingshao started to show off. “Did you see that? The man inside is me. Jordan, so what if I slept with your wife? Come and kill me, hahaha!”
“Idiot.”
Shaun cursed at Rong Bingshao and hurriedly jumped out of the door. Instead of taking the stairs, he jumped straight to the first floor. He was in such a hurry, as if the explosion might occur at any time.
“Daddy, what’s the hurry? There’s still a minute left.”
Rong Bingshao was a little puzzled. He still treated the other party as his father.
What his grandfather had revealed earlier was too difficult to grasp for now.
Just as Shaun jumped to the first floor, he heard the first explosion from the big box in the room where Jordan and the other two were!
Boom!
The explosion was not too loud and a little muffled, but the force still made the room tremble.
“Damn it! Jordan lied to us! There were only two minutes left! Bingshao, let’s leave quickly!”
Rong Huangde took Rong Bingshao’s hand again and prepared to lead him away.
Rong Bingshao didn’t dare to delay any longer.
But at this moment, a second explosion occurred in the room!
Boom!
The force of this explosion was double the previous one. It blew up Dr. T’s system!
Jordan had the upper hand now!
“You want to leave? You touched my woman, but you still think you can escape with your life?”
When Jordan looked at Victoria being hugged by that b*stard Rong Bingshao, the rage coursed through his veins!
Jordan charged forward and punched Rong Bingshao to the ground!
“Ah!”
Bang bang bang bang…
Seeing Rong Bingshao being beaten up, the soldiers at the door immediately fired at Jordan.
Rong Huangde quickly helped Rong Bingshao to his feet. “It’s too late to leave by foot now. We can only fly. Put on your black armor immediately!”
The explosions were currently limited to this room. However, Rong Huangde knew that the number and force of the explosions would multiply. It wouldn’t take long before the entire base camp was no longer safe.
Therefore, they had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Seeing that Rong Huangde and his grandson were about to fly away, Jordan was prepared for this. After killing all the armed soldiers, he put on his Iron Man armor.
Boom!
With the third explosion, everything in the room was reduced to ashes.
Including the Time Gate.
Jordan was not worried about destroying the time-travel equipment because he knew that Rong Huangde would definitely have more than one.
After Rong Huangde and Rong Bingshao put on their black armor, they immediately flew away.
Wearing the Iron Man armor, Jordan followed closely behind and attacked them in the air.
Boom!
The fourth explosion shook the entire base. The second floor of the base collapsed.
Boom!
The fifth explosion sent more than a dozen people flying.
Everyone was fleeing at top speed.
It wouldn’t be long before the entire base would be destroyed.
The base camp was just the beginning. Slowly, the danger would spread to the nearby cities.
At this moment, Shaun, who was the first to jump out, had already boarded a plane and escaped. Seeing that the Rongs and Jordan were engaged in an air battle, Shaun joined them.
Although the Rongs’ armor was more powerful, Jordan was a Deity and could predict their attacks. Therefore, they were evenly matched.
As for Shaun, he hadn’t decided which side to help. He would help whichever side was about to be defeated.
This battle lasted for more than half an hour.
By now, they had also flown to the Jianmenguan National Forest Park. The trees in this area were very lush, and there was a lot of fog. Visibility was quite low.
The Rongs were one step ahead of Jordan. They arrived at the forest and saw that Jordan had yet to catch up. Rong Huangde said to Rong Bingshao,
“Bingshao, let’s split up. I’ll stall Jordan. You leave this place first.”
Rong Bingshao said, “I’m not afraid of him. We’ll fight him to the death here!”
But Rong Huangde shook his head. “If I wanted to kill him, I would have done so long ago. Jordan is very useful to me. If he dies, my plan won’t be able to be completed. Leave quickly. Don’t delay anymore. I’ll contact you again!”
With that, Rong Bingshao didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately flew into the distance. novelbin
Jordan soon flew over in his Iron Man armor.
Rong Huangde controlled his black armor and soared into the sky, engaging Jordan in battle!
Chapter 978
Jianmenguan National Forest Park, Sichuan, China. novelbin
There was a dense canopy of green trees. The scenery was picturesque, and the air was fresh. There were also quiet lakes, spectacular waterfalls and magnificent mountains around. It was a place for many rich people to relax and enjoy themselves.
In order to buy time for Rong Bingshao to escape as far as possible, Rong Huangde kept attacking Jordan.
Although Rong Huangde was well-equipped, his reaction and combat experience were far inferior to Jordan, who was not even 30 years old.
As a result, Jordan managed to defeat Rong Huangde just by using a replica of the Iron Man armor.
Meanwhile, Shaun was flying above the forest in the plane he had taken from the base camp. He watched the battle from afar.
He still did not want either side to win or lose.
As they were flying at a lower altitude, Shaun’s plane was like a sickle that cut the tops off the trees.
A security guard drove over on a four-wheeled electric scooter. “Which department are you from? Damn it, why are you destroying the trees here?!”
Boom!
Shaun used his weapon to kill this innocent person. When the rich people playing golf on the green lawn nearby saw this, they quickly drove away and called 911.
Soon, the Rong family people arrived under Lee Su-ji’s lead.
However, Rong Huangde did not let them attack.
Shortly after, Geng Anli arrived with the Geng family soldiers. At the same time, Jamie’s fighter jet, the Steele family’s fighter jet piloted by Dragon, and the Schmid family’s plane rushed over.
Jordan had left a note for Dragon a year ago, saying that there would be a battle near Chengdu today. The other great families were all gathered here today. These people were all big shots who could change the world.
Geng Anli stepped forward. “Uncle Rong, Deity Jordan, stop fighting!”
Rong Huangde stopped and opened his mask. The elderly man was already sweating from exhaustion.
From the Schmid family’s plane, Lota and her father, Tom Schmid, emerged.
Tom Schmid was surprised to see Rong Huangde. “Mr. Rong? Are you really Mr. Rong? You’re not dead?”
When Rong Huangde saw Tom Schmid, he smiled and nodded. “Tom, it’s been many years. How are you? I heard about you and know that you’ve suffered a lot in the past decade. It’s a pity that I couldn’t help you much.”
Rong Huangde’s relationship with Tom Schmid was not bad. Tom Schmid was also very respectful to Rong Huangde. “You’re being too polite. Being able to see that you’re still alive is an encouragement to all of us! We need you so much!”
Geng Anli walked over and smiled. “That’s right, Uncle Rong. Everyone says that people from the eight great families don’t live past 80 years old, but you’re still alive. Can you tell us how you did it?”
Jamie walked over. He had no memory of Rong Huangde at all.
Nevertheless, it could be seen that Rong Huangde was very respected among the major families.
Especially for middle-aged people like Geng Anli and Tom Schmid. They were all indebted to Rong Huangde in the past.
Rong Huangde said, “Anli, we’ll talk about this later. Thank you for rushing over. Deity Jordan wants to kill my grandson. Please help persuade him.”
Geng Anli believed that she had a good relationship with Jordan. She walked up to him and said, “Jordan, Uncle Rong is really the soul of our eight great families. In the past few decades, he has been the one controlling our eight great families and our world. Uncle Rong is a very generous person. He will sincerely help every family. Actually, your Steele family has also received Uncle Rong’s help.”
Rong Huangde said, “Jordan, I’m the same age as your grandfather. We tell each other almost everything. The Steele family has been developing more slowly and is lagging behind us. However, I didn’t look down on him. Instead, I encouraged him and worked with him.
“Perhaps after I faked my death, Bailun’s relationship with your family became very strained, but when I was in power, our families had a very good relationship! It’s not just your grandfather. I have a good relationship with your father, Rowan, and your uncle, Randall. Especially your uncle, Randall. Are you really going to start another world war over a common woman like Victoria?”
People of Rong Huangde’s standing were usually outstanding speakers. Rong Huangde was no exception. He immediately captured the hearts of the people and pushed the blame on Jordan.
Sounds of sirens could be heard.
Suddenly, a black police car drove over. A fat police officer alighted from the car. He held a gun with both hands and aimed it at Jordan, Rong Huangde, Geng Anli and the other big shots.
“Don’t move! All of you, crouch down!”
The sounds of a jet engine echoed through the sky.
A fighter jet suddenly flew over from the sky.
A voice came from the fighter jet. “This is the Chinese Air Force. Repeat, this is the Chinese Air Force. Everyone below, lower your weapons and prepare to be registered.”
Jordan, Rong Huangde, Geng Anli, Jamie and the rest did not move at all. Suddenly, dozens of fighter jets a hundred times cooler and more advanced than the Chinese Air Force appeared in the sky! They had been in stealth mode the entire time. Only when the fighter jet flew over did they reveal themselves and completely surround it!
The pilot was terrified. Only then did he realize what kind of people he had provoked!
“Oh my god, these fighter jets… they’re so cool. They’re like alien technology… so scary!”
The pilot swallowed. He knew that there were secret families. He knew that these people were the secret families who controlled the world. How could he dare to poke his nose into their business?
Soon, he shouted again, “This is the Chinese Air Force. I repeat, this is the Chinese Air Force. Everyone below, Air Force Number 89757, solemnly apologizes to you. I’m sorry to have disturbed your gathering. Please give me a 65-foot opening so that I can leave. Thank you!”
However, the fighter jets surrounding him did not give him a chance. Instead, they used special energy to toss him far away.
Nevertheless, the pilot was not hurt. He quickly escaped with his tail between his legs.
On land, the armed police officer was also stunned when he saw this.
Jordan, Rong Huangde, Geng Anli and Jamie all looked at him.
The police officer swallowed and hurriedly retracted his gun. He bowed respectfully. “Sorry to disturb you! Have a good afternoon!”
Chapter 979
With that, the police officer drove his police car away quickly. While he was armed with a gun, they were all holding laser weapons! There were also all kinds of fighter jets in the sky that looked like UFOs.
Arrest them?
What a joke!
No one was affected by this brief interruption. They continued to look at each other solemnly.
In the current situation, it was obvious that Rong Huangde had more power and men on his side. If they really fought, Jordan would be at a disadvantage.
If the Geng and Schmid families helped Jordan, he might be able to gain the upper hand for a short period of time.
However, looking at Geng Anli and Tom Schmid, their eyes were filled with respect for Rong Huangde. They probably wouldn’t declare war on him so easily.
Jordan said, “Rong Huangde, I know you’ve been in charge of the eight great families for decades. You’re highly respected among us all. You don’t have to mention my grandfather and uncle to me. They’re already dead. But even if they’re alive now and standing in front of me, I won’t agree to let this matter go! When I decide to do something or deal with someone, once I start, I will never stop. Just like the Geng family’s paper bombs!”
Even when facing Rong Huangde, the “Lord of the World” for the past few decades, Jordan maintained his dignity in front of the major families.
Rong Huangde now looked at Jordan with renewed eyes. He believed that Jordan was just a young lad who got lucky and obtained the abilities of a Deity. Apart from that, he should be no different from a
child and very easy to deal with.
However, at this moment, Rong Huangde could feel Jordan’s dignity and domineering aura.
This was the demeanor of a true “Lord of the World”. This was something his grandson, Rong Bingshao, would never have even if you gave him 10 more years to mature.
In addition, Rong Huangde did not expect Jordan to be so persistent when his loved one got hurt.
If he had known that provoking Victoria would cause so much trouble, Rong Huangde wouldn’t have let Rong Bingshao do such a thing.
Jamie walked over. He still hadn’t completely figured out what had happened.
“What happened? Why do you want to kill Rong Huangde’s grandson?” Jamie asked.
The others were also very curious. What kind of grudge did Jordan have with the Rong family?
Jordan said, “His grandson, Rong Bingshao, used despicable methods to defile Victoria!”
“What?”
When Jamie heard this, he exploded in anger. “Rong Huangde, how did you raise your grandson? He even dares to provoke my brother’s woman? He’s a Deity! Your grandson humiliated a Deity. He deserves to be killed!”
When the others heard this, they fell silent. They never expected a descendant of the Rong family to do such a despicable thing. novelbin
Lota was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform today, just like the one worn by Marvel heroines. It accentuated her figure. In addition, Lota had curled her hair slightly, making her look even more womanly.
She also walked towards Jordan and asked softly, “Jordan, hasn’t Victoria been unconscious all this while? Moreover, that place is heavily guarded. How did Rong Bingshao succeed?”
Jordan glanced at Lota. He had not seen her for a while and realized that this woman had become even more beautiful.
Jordan felt very emotional when he saw Lota. Some time ago, Jordan had held Lota’s hand and returned to the capital together. He even wanted to marry her.
Unfortunately, Victoria disagreed.
Jordan said, “Do you remember what Hailey said at my house last time?”
Lota nodded. “I remember. She said that Victoria and an 18-year-old boy…”
Lota lowered her voice, embarrassed to say it in front of so many people.
Everyone here was of different nationalities but they all understood English. All members of secret families would learn many languages from a young age and were multilingual.
Ever since Jordan became a Deity, family heads whose native language was not English, like Geng Anli and Lota made sure that everyone from their families was fluent in English. Including subordinates, researchers and servants. All of them had to know English. Their goal was to have a closer collaboration with Jordan.
Jordan sighed. “Rong Bingshao was that 18-year-old boy.”
Lota covered her mouth in surprise. “Oh my god, that boy was him…”
After knowing this, Lota could understand Jordan’s feelings. Rong Bingshao did a very evil deed because it caused Victoria to attempt suicide!
Victoria was still in a coma because of Rong Bingshao!
If Victoria was alive and well, if she had put the matter behind her and was living happily with Jordan, Jordan might have let Rong Bingshao off.
However, Victoria was still suffering from the damage caused by that incident. How could Jordan let Rong Bingshao off?
Lota immediately stood up for Jordan. She walked towards Rong Huangde. “Mr. Rong…”
“Who are you?”
Rong Huangde was curious about Lota’s identity.
Tom Schmid hurried forward. “Chairman Rong, this is my daughter, Lota.”
Rong Huangde was surprised. He smiled warmly.
“Oh my god, you’re Lota? I can hardly believe it. You’ve grown so big and become so beautiful? Thank God. You can still grow so healthily despite your family being controlled by Shaun. You’re really lucky. Lota, did you know that I held you not long after you were born?”
Rong Huangde’s words made it more difficult for Lota to speak up for Jordan now.
However, Jordan was the man she loved. She still had to speak up for him.
Lota said, “I’ve often heard Dad mention you as well. He said that you’re very charismatic and a very fair and just man. You’re the leader of our eight great families. It’s obvious that your grandson is in the wrong. I know very well that as a grandfather, you don’t want anything to happen to your grandson.
“But you can’t pretend the incident never happened just because Rong Bingshao is your grandson. What if Rong Bingshao continues to rape other people’s wives and even me one day? Will the other
families pretend that nothing happened because we are afraid of you?”
Jamie piped in. “Lota is right! We have to teach Rong Bingshao a lesson! Otherwise, there will be no end to his misdeeds! Rong Huangde, you don’t know how to discipline your grandson so we’ll have to discipline him for you!”
Chapter 980
Rong Huangde was annoyed by Jamie’s arrogant words. He frowned and asked Jamie, “Who are you?”
Jamie flicked his sleeves and replied in an official tone, “I’m Jordan’s second brother and the current head of the Addington family, Jamie Steele!”
Actually, Rong Huangde knew who Jamie was. Jordan was a Deity so Rong Huangde knew everyone linked to him like the back of his hand.
He was simply asking to make a point.
Rong Huangde said to Jamie, “You are merely a thief, you’re not worthy to talk to me.”
“You…”
Jamie was completely speechless.
Rong Huangde’s expression suddenly changed. His face was filled with smiles as he looked at Lota again.
“Lota, I like hearing you speak up. You make a valid point. You and Bingshao are about the same age. Actually, I already have plans for you and Bingshao to get married. Tom and I will probably be very happy to have our two families linked by marriage.”
A smile appeared on Tom Schmid’s face as if he was very satisfied with this prospect.
Now that it was confirmed that Lota could not marry Jordan, the second best choice would definitely be the grandson and the future successor of the Rong family!
But Lota only had Jordan in her heart. Why would she marry Rong Bingshao?
Lota said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Rong. The man I like has to be responsible. He has to take the initiative to take responsibility for something he did wrong, instead of behaving like a coward, hiding under the protection of his elders. In the end, this is just a grudge between Rong Bingshao and Jordan. Can the rest of us not interfere? Why can we not let the two of them settle it like adults?”
Jamie quickly interjected. “That’s right! Rong Bingshao is an adult, right? He’s already 18 years old and has come of age. He should take responsibility for his actions. Why is he still relying on his grandfather?”
Rong Huangde frowned. He had a good impression of Lota and planned to let her be with Rong Bingshao. In addition, given the current situation, if Rong Huangde insisted on protecting Rong Bingshao, it would greatly impact his reputation which he had built up over the years.
On top of that, Rong Bingshao had too little life experience. Now, they were about to travel 10 years back in time to Cocodrie. No one could tell what big secret they would discover.
Perhaps, the state of this current world would suddenly turn. They had to be ready for battle.
Perhaps this was an opportunity to let Rong Bingshao grow quickly. Otherwise, once Rong Huangde died, his grandson would definitely not be Jordan’s match.
Rong Huangde thought for a moment. “Lota, you’re right. I’m an old man, and this is a feud between young people. Maybe I shouldn’t interfere.”
Jordan was taken aback. “Are you really willing to not interfere in this matter?”
As long as Rong Huangde did not interfere, Jordan could easily kill Rong Bingshao!
Rong Huangde looked at Jordan. “Mr. Jordan, you should know that ever since I met you, I have always been very respectful to you. I never thought of making you my enemy. If I could predict what mynovelbin
grandson would do, I would never let him do such a stupid thing!”
When Jordan heard Rong Huangde’s words, his tone became much more polite. “Mr. Rong Huangde, I respect you as much as I respect my grandfather. I promise you that as long as you don’t interfere in this matter, I will continue to work with you and help you uncover the secrets you want to know.”
Hearing this, the eyes of Geng Anli, Tom Schmid and the others lit up.
It sounded like they had been working on some secret matter?
However, the other families had no idea what it was.
Rong Huangde smiled. “You blew up my base. How can we work together?”
Jordan also smiled and said, “With Mr. Rong’s foresight, it’s impossible for him not to have a backup, right?”
The two of them stopped there and did not mention the Time Gate. The others were confused.
Rong Huangde laughed out loud. “Hahaha, as expected of a Deity. You’re indeed powerful. Alright, I look forward to continuing to work with you!”
At this moment, Jamie sneered. “Don’t speak too soon. When my brother kills your precious grandson, you probably won’t be in the mood to work with him anymore. Hehe.”
Rong Huangde snorted. “Who said that Bingshao will definitely be killed by Jordan?”
Jordan asked, “You still plan to protect him?”
Rong Huangde reached out his hands and said, “Mr. Jordan, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve already said that I won’t interfere in the matter between you and Bingshao. I’ll let the two of you settle it yourselves.
But that doesn’t mean that Bingshao will lose to you. He has hands and feet too. He won’t just stand there and be killed by you.”
Jordan said confidently, “Please forgive me for being blunt. If you don’t protect him and let the two of us fight one-on-one, I can easily finish him off without even using my Deity ability.”
After all, Jordan had fought with Rong Bingshao before. He was probably one of the more outstanding ones among his peers.
But compared to Jordan, the difference was too great.
It was like the difference between a street ball player and an NBA professional.
Rong Huangde said, “Oh? You’re saying that in terms of physique, combat, intelligence and strategy, my grandson is inferior to you?”
Jordan was not embarrassed. “Although this is a blow to your family, your grandson is indeed inferior to me in every way.”
Jamie also laughed. “Hahaha, Rong Huangde, we don’t mean to look down on the Rong family. You don’t have to be sad. Our grandfather let us experience all kinds of situations since we were young boys. The grandchildren of the other families are all treated like precious treasures. They can’t compare to us, understand?”
Rong Huangde nodded as if he agreed. “Well, I think my grandson’s intelligence might be slightly better than yours. Even so, his physique is indeed much inferior to yours. After all, you were injected with the Mirakuru serum.”
Jamie was very angry. “B*stard! What do you mean by that? You said that Rong Bingshao is smarter than my brother? In your dreams, right?”
Hearing this assertion, Jordan also felt rather annoyed. It was as if he had to rely on the Mirakuru serum to win.
Rong Huangde’s subordinate, Lee Su-ji, also stood up and said, “That’s not fair! Deity Jordan, you’re a Deity. You already have the upper hand as you can predict the future. Moreover, you’ve been injected with the Mirakuru serum, and your body is far stronger than ordinary people. With such a huge advantage, even if you defeat Young Master Rong, where’s the glory in that?”
Even Geng Anli said, “Jordan, your physical advantage is indeed too great. I understand that very well.”
Jordan clenched his fists, feeling very uncomfortable. “Even if I don’t have the Mirakuru serum, it will be easy for me to kill Rong Bingshao!”
Rong Huangde said slowly, “I have a medical team here that can temporarily extract the Mirakuru serum from your body. I wonder if Mr. Jordan is willing? This way, your battle with my grandson will be a fair one!”
