No. 1 Supreme Warrior

Chapter 551 – 600

Chapter 551 Selena kept staring at Xena too. She also felt that something was off about her brother’s girlfriend lately. Her makeup and clothing have been growing more fashionable. Furthermore, she had quite a few branded bags to her name now. They were definitely not cheap.

“Give the phone to me, Xena. These salespeople can be extremely annoying. They keep making calls like this and it gets irritating. I’ll take the call. I’ll give them a good scolding!” Fiona said straightaway when she noticed that Xena was stunned for quite a few seconds, not picking up the phone.

Xena was even more frightened. She flashed a bitter smile. “Nevermind, Ma. I’m too lazy to pick it up. These people don’t have an easy time working. Sometimes they even have to work overtime till late at night because they couldn’t finish their quota for the day.”

After Fiona heard that, she smiled as she spoke, “Never thought that you would be this empathetic, Xena, thinking for the sake of others! Come on everyone, let’s just eat and drink. No need to pick up such harassing calls if you don’t want to!”

“That’s right. Let me pour you a glass, Ma!” Xena heaved an internal sigh of relief. She stood up and poured a glass of wine for Fiona.

At this moment, her phone finally stopped ringing.

jackie could not be bothered about it. He started to casually indulge himself in the feast before him. However, the phone did not ring again for the rest of the meal.

After they finished eating, everybody went back.

jackie and Selena went back into their room and closed the door. Only then did the former said, “There’s something off about Xena!”

Selena nodded her head. “She’s definitely up to no good. No matter what, I can’t let her marry my brother. God knows how many times she would cheat on him otherwise.

“Mmhmm. She definitely has a man on the side. Why all the new clothes otherwise? Where did they come from? They must be pretty expensive, and she’s changed quite a few bags!”

jackie carved a smile. “She said that she bought them all by herself. I do not believe a lick of it. Why wasn’t she this extravagant before if she had this much money? She was not that kind of woman who saved up money back then too! ”

“Then what do we do? My brother didn’t believe you the last time we found out that she was planning to swindle my parent’s money with her gang. He believed her instead. I really think that he’s extremely gullible!” Selena frowned. “It’s a wonder if he doesn’t suffer any losses being with this woman, with him being so gullible!”

“This woman really is money-faced. I’m telling you, I’d thought about killing her when I was going after the motor robbers. But I spared her, seeing that she’s a woman and your brother’s girlfriend, so I told her to scram! Never thought that she would have the audacity to return to your brother’s side. However, it seemed like she didn’t change all that much later. I thought that she would turn over a new leaf and truly wish to be with your brother! Who knew that she didn’t change her spots at all, judging from these few days!”

jackie clenched his fingers into fists. Iciness flashed across his eyes. “Since your brother is so gullible, I should just kill Xena off. Just find an opportunity and be done with her! This way, your brother will have to give up on her!”

Selena was shocked when she heard that. “No way. She’s still my brother’s girlfriend, and we’re going to kill her because we suspect that she’s with another man? What if we’re wrong? Besides, I already told you that this isn’t the battlefield. Stop trying to use your fists to solve every single problem!”

jackie felt embarrassed. His wife was still so kind and generous.

“Then what should we do? I’ll listen to you!” He spoke mildly, after remaining silent for a few seconds.

Chapter 552 “Mmhmm. She is the woman that my brother loves deeply, after all. He’ll be extremely upset if you kill her. And he might do something stupid to himself!” Selena told jackie after a few moments of silence.

jackie nodded his head. “That’s right. I thought about this too. That’s why I told her to scram the last time. Who knew that this woman would be so manipulative? She even said that I’m taking revenge on her by slandering her because she was against me before. And she says that she’s the victim.”

“Then we have to think of a way to get evidence of Xena’s affair. It would be best if my brother catches her in action and has his heart broken. We’ll let him decide if we should let her live after that. What do you think?” Selena said after she thought about it.

“Okay. You’re right, dear!” jackie thought about it, then he studied his wife, who was wearing a sexy nightgown. He could not help but flash a wicked grin. “Dear, Kylie has her own room now,” he said. “We don’t have to worry about anything anymore, right?”

Selena’s face reddened in a flash; panic gripped her heart.

She quickly rolled her eyes at him. “Why do you keep thinking about all these things?” she said, tone shy. “Seriously, all men are such perverts!”

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry. “What do you mean all men are perverts?” he said, smiling bitterly. “I never touched you for all these five years!”

Mischief sparked within jackie when he noticed Selena’s bashful countenance. He took two steps forward and swept the beauty before him into a bridal carry.

Selena’s heart thudded against her chest. She was a mother, but the incident five years ago had been an honest accident. She could barely remember what had happened that night.

Still, she was a grown woman. Of course, she wanted a man who could keep her safe and warm. However, she was not someone who played around. That was why she had remained chaste for all these five years, hoping that jackie would return—and hoping that he would be a good husband and father.

She would surrender everything to fate so long as jackie turned out to be a working member of society, and not some scumbag picked out of the landfill. Yet she never imagined that not only would jackie be a good father, but he was also an even better husband—and he was a war hero. She had actually fallen deeply in love with him, just a month after he had returned. Now she really wanted to give her all to him again.

jackie gently put her onto the bed, as though he was handling fragile china.

Selena bit on her red-rouged lip. She glanced toward the light beside them. “Turn it off,” she said awkwardly. “I’m so embarrassed!”

“Why don’t we turn the wall lamp on then, dear? It would be a shame if I can’t see your face. You’re so beautiful now!”

jackie turned off the ceiling lights and turned the wall lamp on, its light dimly illuminating the room.

“What do you want to see? There’s nothing to see!”

Selena’s face was so red that the blush spread to the tips of her ears. Her pulse quickened; she felt as though her heart was about to burst out from her chest anytime soon.

“Of course, there’s something to see!” jackie chuckled and ducked down, ready to plant a kiss onto her lips.

“Hold up!” Yet he never expected Selena to yell for him to stop at this moment, extending her hand and clamping it over his mouth.

Chapter 553 “No way. You’re too cruel, dear, telling me to stop at this moment. Didn’t you promise me this after I’ve fulfilled the three things I had promised myself? Besides, the thing with the rich woman was a complete misunderstanding. We’ve proven that she’s a God of War—she’s my friend!”

jackie was speechless for a moment. How could he hold his culminating desire in before such a beautiful woman—his wife, no less?

He never thought that Selena would give a soft smile instead, her face right below his. “Idiot. I didn’t say that you couldn’t proceed. I just wanted to ask if you have a lot of scars on your body,” she said. “I heard that when a military man goes shirtless, scars line their entire body—their back, their chest. And it is shocking at first sight. It’s really not easy for you to survive after five years on the battlefield!”

jackie was taken aback. “So you won’t like me if I have a lot of scars?”

This was a serious question here.

“Of course, I’ll still like you. I go along with whomever I marry, remember? And you’re my man. How could I not like you?”

Selena sat up. She shyly pried the buttons on jackie’s shirt open. “I just want to take a look at the scars on your body. You must have gone through a lot on the battlefield. Whatever we suffer here is nothing compared to what you’ve gone through.”

jackie never expected Selena to say such sweet, considerate words. His heart of iron melted immediately; an indescribable warmth spread throughout him.

“I told myself that I had to live—for you, and for my mother!” He stroked his wife’s head, his eyes filled with gentleness.

At last, the final button on his shirt was undone. His abdomen was packed to the teeth with pure muscle; it lashed the eyes of anyone who saw it, and it emanated a frightening aura of violence.

Selena was slightly surprised by the sight of his muscles; anxiety tightened its grip over her heart.

However, surprise also flashed across her eyes. “No way. You don’t have a single scar on you?” After she said that, she pushed jackie’s shirt back and got him to turn around.

“No way. There’s nothing on your back either! Are you that strong, dear? You’ve never suffered a single injury for all the five years you were on the battlefield?”

She was extremely taken aback. She never thought that his body would be completely devoid of scars. His skin was perfectly unmarred, and it shocked her to no end.

jackie flashed a bitter smile. It was not that he had never gotten injured, but because he was very skillful in the medical area that his scars had gone a long time ago.

However, he raised his right arm anyway. “See? There’s a scar here!”

Indeed, there was a scar the size of a thumb on his underarm.

“Why–why does this scar look so strange?”

Selena was shocked after she saw that.

That was because she noticed that the scar on his arm actually looked like an odd-shaped puzzle—as if it was an imprint of a fish scale that had dropped off.

“That isn’t important!” jackie chuckled and pinned Selena onto the bed. “You’ve already taken my shirt off, dear. Should I help you with yours?”

She was extremely embarrassed. She turned her head and stared to the side. “Pervert!”

“Didn’t you make the first move?” jackie coughed for a bit, then lowered his lips to Selena’s.

Chapter 554 Selena was so anxious that she could die. Subconsciously, her heart was filled with anticipation.

“Mmph!” At last, the two’s lips collided. She unconsciously wrapped her arms around jackie’s neck.

Yet just as they were kissing each other passionately, a soft knock sounded from the door.

jackie was stunned; his expression darkened. “Seriously? Who’s knocking? It’s past ten at night already.”

Selena was also shocked. She sat upright in a flurry, readjusting her nightgown. “Go open the door and take a look. Don’t tell me that it’s Ma? Don’t tell me that she doesn’t want us to…”

jackie was speechless for a moment. He pulled his shirt on and slowly walked over to the door to open it.

He was about to burst into anger, but he did not see anyone when he opened the door. He ducked his head, and a pair of large, baleful eyes were staring at him in anticipation. His anger immediately dissipated.

“Kylie, why aren’t you asleep?” jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected that the culprit would be his own daughter.

She peered inward, then she spoke in a pitiful tone, “I want to sleep with Mom. Or else, I can’t fall asleep!”

Selena also never thought that their daughter would be the one knocking. She was just as speechless as jackie was. It had not been easy for them to have this moment, and it was just…

She also walked over, crouching down. “Kylie, you’re already four years old now,” she said. “You’ll be five in a few months. You’re a big girl, right? You’ll have to learn how to sleep alone.”

Here, Selena added with a gentle expression. “Besides, your friends will laugh at you if you keep sleeping together with adults. Understand?”

Kylie pouted, as though she were being suppressed. After she thought about it, she spoke in a miserable tone, “Mom, just one more night please. I’ll sleep alone tomorrow, all right?”

“O–okay. You’ll sleep alone tomorrow, and I’ll go over to tell you bedtime stories. Okay?” Selena promised as she looked at her daughter.

“Okay!” Kylie nodded her head happily. Then she looked at jackie, slightly frightened, “Dad, can I sleep with you two?”

He did not know whether to laugh or cry. His daughter’s countenance just straight-up melted his heart. How could he not agree? Anyway, the fire from just now had been put out by her just like that. He did not have any intention to pick it up again. Very soon, the three fell asleep just like that.

The next morning, Xena told Ben that she was going out shopping with a few of her friends after they finished their breakfast. She left the house.

Ben did not think too much about it. She did not usually bring him along when she went shopping, so he was used to it. Who knew that Xena drove to a hotel instead. She went up and entered a room.

Chapter 555 “I miss you so much, Babe!” Ivan pulled Xena in as soon as she stepped through the door; he quickly locked it behind them.

“What are you doing? It’s so early in the morning!”

Xena pushed Ivan away. “What happened last night?” she said, expression hard. “I already rejected your first call. It’s obvious that I wasn’t in a good place to talk to you. And yet you called me again?”

Ivan stepped forward and embraced her from behind. “I was thinking of you, and I just wanted to invite you over for some wine. I only realized after you didn’t pick up the second call.”

Here, Ivan asked curiously, “Tell me, what was going on last night? Why couldn’t you take my call?”

“We were eating outside when you called. The entire family was there! And jackie must have a sixth sense or something. He immediately felt that something was off just because I rejected your first call. He asked why I rejected the call, and I told him that it was just another harassing phone call from all those property agents. And then he wanted me to let him see the caller. I was so mad!”

Xena huffed angrily, “If I was any slower and didn’t rile myself up, and if Ben didn’t believe me, I would have been caught!”

“F*ck. That fellow is really a tough one to crack. How’s he so sharp!” Ivan curled his fingers into a fist. He thought about it and said, “Seems like we have to get rid of him as soon as possible!”

“Are we ready to make a move? I also think that there’s a good chance that he’ll find out about us if it goes on like this. We should act fast. Besides, I’ve been faithfully accompanying Ben at home for the past few days, and I’ve been playing the role of a dutiful girlfriend. Their attitudes toward me seem to have changed too. Aside from that man suspecting me last night, of course!”

After Xena said that, she spoke to Ivan again. “Don’t forget, Ivan. I’m going to leave Ben after I’ve given jackie the medicine, and I’ll be with you. You told me that you’ll declare that I’m your girlfriend in front of the entire Taylor family!”

“Don’t worry. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!” Ivan laughed and roved his hands around her waist. “Besides, I’m anticipating the miserable expression on Ben’s face when he knows that you’re my girlfriend. He’s such a loser.”

“Really? Good. I’m still scared that you won’t want me anymore after you’re done using me!” Xena suddenly acted coquettishly around him, then she twisted her body backward and pressed it against his.

“Oh, right. Xena, you have to tell me what they’ve been doing lately. If Sharon is visiting jackie, for instance, or Young Master Wilson is looking for him to take revenge. Or if other Kings of War or military bigshots are looking for him. Tell me everything, okay?”

Ivan gave Xena a vehement kiss. “Don’t worry. So long as jackie dies, not only will I announce you as my girlfriend, but I’ll also organize a grand wedding,” he reminded her. “How about that? And I’ll take you to the Maldives for our honeymoon!”

“Really? That sounds awesome. I love you so much, dear husband!” Xena leaped excitedly when she heard that. She wrapped her arms around Ivan’s neck and gave him a vehement kiss.

“You’re already calling me husband? Good, good!” Ivan chuckled and carried Xena toward the bed.

Xena was a money-faced person to the core, but she had a pretty good body. However, Ivan had thought about it long ago, that he would find himself seven or eight mistresses after he was married. The prospect seemed doable.

A woman like Xena would be appeased so long as he gave her money. She would not care if he had affairs later on.

Chapter 556 Xena, who had just been flung onto the bed, seemed to suddenly think of something when she heard the word ‘honeymoon’.

“Right, hold on, Ivan,” she said abruptly. “There’s really something that I have to tell you first!”

“Yes?” Ivan was stunned. “Don’t tell me it’s something to do with jackie?”

“That’s right. He said that he would give Selena a surprise on her birthday. He even said that he’s going to organize a birthday party that will send waves throughout the entire city!” Xena added, “It’s something that you should know, isn’t it?”

“That’s right. It’s only a month till Selena’s birthday. I would have forgotten all about it if you hadn’t reminded me!”

Ivan sat on the edge of the bed, frowning. “ jackie really loves boasting, doesn’t he? Send waves throughout the entire city? Eastfield is huge and he wants to host a birthday party for Selena that will send waves throughout the city? He must be joking. He’ll need to spend a couple of billion dollars if he really wants to send waves throughout the city.”

“He’s definitely exaggerating!” Xena chuckled.

“Alright. See if you can find an opportunity to get jackie to take the medicine either tomorrow or the day after, then we’ll see. Who knows, maybe Selena’s birthday will be jackie’s funeral day? I’m really looking forward to it!”

Ivan laughed, and then he pinned Xena onto the bed, unable to hold it in any longer.

…

“Haven’t you felt that your girlfriend has been acting weird lately, Ben?”

Selena walked over after she noticed Ben in the garden all alone, idly playing with his phone. She spoke after she thought for a while.

“What do you mean? Isn’t she the same as always?” Ben answered carelessly as he swiped on his phone.

“How can you be such an idiot? You’ve been together for so long, but she’s never let you touch her once?” Selena rolled her eyes at her brother as she asked the question.

Ben finally put his phone down. “Why are you so concerned about this anyway, Sis?” he said impatiently. “Although Xena usually wears sexy and trendy outfits, she’s a conservative girl on the inside. Don’t just assume that she’s an ABG because she has tattoos on her. She’s not!”

Selena was at a loss for words. “Then you’re saying that she never lets you touch her?” she pressed on anyway. “You’ve not been together for just a year. It’s been, two, three years already.”

Ben shrugged his shoulders. “So what? She told me that she’ll only give herself to me on the wedding night. It’s so hard to find women like this nowadays. Right?”

After he said that, he stared at her sister. “Sis, I think you have a serious bias against her!” he said.

Selena was seriously speechless now. Her brother had been completely cuckolded. Never mind that he did not know about his girlfriend’s affair—he even defended her reputation.

Ben picked his phone up and started a new round of the game he was playing. Selena snatched it from him.

“What are you doing, Sis?” Ben was a little angry. He had just started getting into the game but Selena snatched his phone away just like that. He probably would have whacked her if she weren’t his older sister.

“Don’t keep playing. Your brain will be even emptier than it already is if you continue like this.”

Selena glared at her loser of a brother. “I really wanted to tell you this earlier, that Xena had some sort of relationship with a rich guy from that motor robbers’ gang,” she said. “I’ve seen them hugging once. But I heard that the entire gang has been wiped out now.”

Chapter 557 “No way!” Ben frowned and shook his head. “You must be joking, Sis. She’s not that kind of person. She’s probably just playing around even if she hugged someone. That isn’t hugging. That’s just messing around.”

Selena almost wanted to faint from frustration. “Do you really think I’m that stupid, Ben? That I can’t tell the difference between a hug and just plain fooling around?”

“What proof do you have? Why don’t you show me pictures?”

She never thought that Ben would be even angrier instead. “Don’t speak about Xena like that if you don’t have any proof. Do you think that I don’t know her after being with her for so long? Do you know her better than I do? You’re just like jackie. You don’t like her, so you’re trying to find ways to harm her. Besides, you said it yourself—the motor robbers are dead. I don’t care about her past.”

Selena clenched her teeth in rage. “You’ve disappointed me, Ben. You’re so dense!”

“What do you mean I’m dense? Aren’t you spewing nonsense, since you have no proof?”

Ben furiously thrust his hand forward. “Give my phone back. I still want to play. I can’t abandon my teammates!”

Selena was so angry that she picked a rock up from the ground, dropped the phone, and smashed the rock straight onto its screen.

“You–you broke my phone. It’s an Apple…”

Ben was extremely angry. He stepped forward and fisted Selena’s collar. With his other hand, he formed a fist, ready to punch her.

“Hit me. Hit me if you have the guts.”

Selena’s eyes reddened. She glared at her brother. She did not want him to be fooled by Xena any longer.

“If you dare hit your sister, Ben, I’ll make you regret that decision for the rest of your life!”

jackie spoke coldly as he observed from a distance. He took deliberate steps toward them. “You’re a man, but you still don’t know the numerous times you’ve been cuckolded already. And now your sister is trying to help you, but you want to hit her?”

Ben only released his sister when he heard all this. Then he shot a vicious glare at jackie. “Do you have any evidence then, jackie? I won’t forgive you if you speak any nonsense!”

“You want proof? Fine. I’ll find proof. I’m telling you now, that I’ll make sure you see the proof for yourself one day!” jackie chuckled as he spoke.

“Alright then. I’ll give you one month. Within one month, before my sister’s birthday, get me the proof. And if you don’t, what will happen?”

Ben glared at jackie and gritted his teeth as he spoke. His eyes were red at the corners.

“Of course! You can do whatever you like to me if I can’t get the evidence. And I’ll give you 50 million dollars!”

jackie also had a serious expression. “But if I manage to get the evidence and catch her with another man, will you let me do whatever I like with her? Including killing her?”

“Fine by me!” Ben took a deep inhale of breath. “I’ll kill her myself if you can prove that she’s cuckolded me!” he said. “No need for you to do it!”

“All right. I’ll truly acknowledge you as a man then!” jackie nodded his head. He needed to hear that from Ben.

Chapter 558 “Think about it seriously, Ben. Has she been acting weird lately? She didn’t even dare to pick up that call from last night. Do you think it’s a harassing phone call from a property agency? I think there’s something suspicious going on!

“Secondly, she’s been buying quite a few branded bags lately. They must be worth at least ten thousand each, and her clothes are pretty expensive too—and she’s bought quite a few of them. She didn’t do this before.”

Selena took a step forward. “You really want to get married to her, and you’re serious about it,” she told Ben earnestly. “But remember how she mumbled and twisted her words last night when you said you wanted to get married sooner? She didn’t seem the least bit happy to me. I suspect that she has another man outside.”

“I don’t care. I need proof. You two will just be slandering her without it!” Ben was extremely angry. He picked his phone up. “I just bought this phone. It was worth a few thousand dollars!”

“Here’s seven or eight thousand. Go ahead and buy a new phone. But don’t breathe a word about how we suspect her, alright? And you have to cooperate with us when we tell you too! That’s how we’re going to get the evidence!” jackie took out a wad of cash from his wallet and thrust it toward Ben after he thought about it.

“Don’t worry. I believe that you’ll never find proof!” Ben flashed a frosty smile and walked off after taking the money.

“Jeez. Seems like your brother really is head over heels for that woman!” jackie released a sigh, feeling helpless. He really did not expect that Ben would almost punch Selena for Xena’s sake when the former was his own sister.

“I’ve always felt that nothing good could come out of her, but I never had the guts to say it out loud. I kept hinting it toward my brother, but unfortunately, he never took it seriously.” Selena also sighed. “I really hope that we can find out the man that Xena is seeing this time. My brother will have his heart completely broken then. He’s pretty good-looking, and it won’t be hard for him to find a nice girl, considering how our family is now!”

“Mmhmm. We have to weed him out. That woman is really a b*tch. She’s so daring and venomous! And she’s cunning. Your parents are practically eating out of her hand.” jackie nodded his head and checked the time. “Let’s go, dear. It’s getting late. We have to go to work!”

“Okay!” Selena nodded her head. The two quickly got into the car and drove to work.

…

At that moment, Young Master Wilson was at the Wilson family’s residence. There was an IV drip beside him that was pumping fluids into him. The more he thought about it, the more tortured he felt. He had finally woken up. However, he had to take a lot of antibiotics. Yet his face was still as swollen as a pig’s. It seemed that he would remain this way for a while.

Master Wilson was so furious that he clenched his fists, watching his son’s face streaked with tears. “My son has never suffered like this before. jackie really has got some guts. Did he really think that I won’t dare to retaliate just because he’s good friends with a God of War? I’ll definitely hire a hitman to assassinate him in the future.”

The caretaker beside him nodded his head as well. “You’re right, sir. It’s more reliable to hire an assassin. They can be trusted to keep their mouths shut. The God of War won’t be able to find anything

even if they try to investigate jackie’s death. Besides, I hear that he’s only a head commander. We don’t know if he’s lying, but he can’t even show his token, so we can’t believe him. A God of War might not even conduct an investigation for someone the likes of him!”

David bobbed his head. “The Goddess of War doesn’t owe him anything anymore, after all, she’s paid her debt. But we should hire an assassin just to be safe!”

“Then when is a good time to hire one?” The caretaker asked.

“We’ll wait. We’ll see after a few days. Let’s just wait for my son to get better first.”

David looked at his son and walked over to the bedside, pulling a chair and sitting down. He took his son’s hand. “Don’t worry, my son. You won’t have suffered all those slaps for nothing. I’ll make sure that b*stard pays with his life.”

“Dad…” Michael cried again.

Chapter 559 At that moment, jackie had already arrived at the Drake family’s residence. Never in his wildest dreams would he imagine that he would see Sharon as soon as he walked into the living room, sitting together with Tanya and Yvonne. His head began to split at the sight of the young woman.

“Why are you here?” jackie felt helpless when he saw her.

“Why can’t I be here? I’m here to see Miss Tanya. The three of us are good friends now.”

Sharon chuckled. “We’ve been waiting for you for a long time now. The three of us are just about to go shopping. Let’s go. We won’t need a lot of bodyguards if we bring you along. We only need you!”

Miss Tanya spoke after she thought about it, “I think we should bring a few along anyway, though we don’t have to bring that many. After all, jackie alone might not be able to carry all our bags if the three of

us are going to buy things.”

“Don’t tell me that you’re scared of tiring him out, Tanya. So that’s why you want to get a few more bodyguards to come along?”

She never thought that Sharon would chuckle as she joked, “He’s my man. Don’t you dare fight over him with me. If you do, I’ll still be the second wife, and you the third. You’ll have to get in line!”

After she said that, her eyes snapped toward Yvonne to the side. “If you’re thinking of fighting over him as well, Yvonne, you’ll have to be number four!”

“Who’s fighting over what with you? Don’t spew such nonsense!” Tanya’s face reddened.

“That’s right. Don’t speak nonsense. I’ll never like a pervert like him!” A light blush also stained Yvonne’s face. She felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Don’t worry. I won’t like either one of you!” jackie interjected in a serious tone, “Let’s go since all of you want to go shopping!”

“You…” The three beauties were extremely angry. They were coveted beauties by plenty of men. Who knew that this bodyguard would actually disregard them so easily? It was so frustrating.

“Let’s go now!” Tanya did not know why she was unhappy. She did not know if it was because she was held in such low esteem, or because jackie stamped out all of their hopes.

The four quickly left and called for a few bodyguards along the way. They all went shopping together.

After shopping for a while, a group of people quickly arrived at the plaza.

No one expected a middle-aged man to walk over deliberately, a mildly murderous intent sparking in his eyes. He went straight to jackie.

jackie immediately stopped and looked at the other man.

The man also quickly stopped. “Listen here, punk, do you dare to go to an abandoned construction site at Horizon Street tomorrow?” he told jackie. “I’ll be waiting for you there!”

“Why should I go?” jackie knew from a glance that this was no ordinary man before him. However, he had never seen this person before.

“Because I’m going to kill you. Be there by nine in the morning tomorrow. Don’t blame me for doing anything to your family if you don’t get there!”

The man chuckled. He wheeled around and was about to leave. “I believe that you’ll go,” he said. “Otherwise, I can’t guarantee the safety of your wife, your parents-in-law, your mother, and your daughter!”

Chapter 560 “Who’s that? He seems really strong from the looks of him. He’s really got a powerful aura!” Yvonne could not help but say as she watched the man walk away.

This was the feeling the man gave her, and it was very obvious.

“Who cares? He’s basically challenging me, so he’s a true man, no matter what. Since he bothered to say all that, I’ve no choice but to go tomorrow!” jackie gave a wan smile. “I believe that I’ll find out why he wants to kill me if I go tomorrow!”

“You seem really calm about this. Aren’t you afraid that he’s super strong?” Tanya was a little worried. She added after she thought about it, “Why don’t I get Harvey and Kyle to go along with you, and they’ll bring a few men as well. It’ll be safer that way.”

She never thought that jackie would still wear his nonchalant, careless expression. “Anyway, your bodyguards won’t be much use there if I can’t take him on. They’ll just be there as fodder!”

Indeed, he was probably considered the strongest person within Daxia’s troops. If he could not take the man on, then Harvey and the others might as well be serving their heads on a platter if they went.

When she heard this, Tanya only just recalled the unforgettable scene she had witnessed that night— when jackie had obliterated the three hundred men from the Eagle Clan all alone. It was useless to send Harvey and the others along if even that monstrous strength was not enough to defeat that man.

“Just be careful, all right? I’m scared you can’t beat him. If you can’t, just run away. It’s better than dying!” Sharon was worried as well.

“Run away?”

jackie was stunned. “You’re thinking too much about it,” he said, a cold smile on his lips. “Let’s go in and shop. I’ll be sure to completely destroy him if he has a death wish!”

“You’re really confident, aren’t you?” Yvonne flashed a bitter smile.

“You’d be confident too, if you had the strength!” jackie took out a cigarette and lit it, taking a long drag out of it. He went into the mall with the beauties around him.

“I have no intention of stepping in, Boss, but I do want to spectate. Can I? He’s definitely no match for you, with you being so strong. I want to see your true strength!” Harvey chuckled as he spoke, trailing after jackie.

“What do you want to spectate for? Just do your own work properly.” jackie spoke as he gave a rueful smile.

…

The man named Zain went back to the guest house again after he declared the challenge to jackie.

“I’ve challenged him. I’ll be waiting for him at the abandoned construction site at Horizon Street at nine o’ clock tomorrow!” He spoke lazily as he plopped onto the bed, a light smile curling his lips.

Quil’s expression morphed into surprise when he heard that. “Huh? You–you’re challenging him earlier than planned? Idiot! What if he doesn’t come? After all, anyone would be afraid of dying. What will you do if he doesn’t come?”

Chapter 561 “Doesn’t come?” Zain sneered frostily. “He will definitely come. I told him that if he doesn’t, he has to bid his dear wife and daughter, Adieu. But, I said this just to frighten him. I’m a peculiar person; jackie is the one I want to kill, I don’t even care to harm his family. I will kill him to avenge my master!”

“You, you’re so stupid! Your words will scare him away and he might take his family and flee! They’ll leave this f*cking city without us knowing! And it’ll fiendishly toilsome for you to dig him out!”

Quil felt a flash of irritation that he aggressively paced back and forth. “Didn’t I tell you before, to find an opportunity to slit his throat? You are a marshal for god sake! If you assassinate him, he will be dead already, and wouldn’t this be the best scenario? If you could just kill him without him knowing it, that would be great!”

Zain, out of everyone’s expectation, flashed a disdained smile, and jeered, “Young Master Xenos, that is your suggestion and I’m not obliged to take it, right? I’m a marshal, if I want a head commander’s life, do I have to do it in secret? This is not what a gentleman is supposed to do! Any fight between men should be done upright and reputable! I prefer it this way.”

“I…” Quil was at loss for words and his face darkened. “But you shouldn’t let him know one day before the fight! Don’t you think you’re giving him a chance to flee the city?”

“don’t you worry about that. I can sense that jackie is not that kind of person. He should be quite strong and powerful. That’s why when I challenged him to a fight, he didn’t show any hint of fear or nervousness

at all!”

Zain chuckled and continued, “Besides, he loves his family dearly, so naturally he doesn’t want his family to live a hide-and-seek life and constantly in fear, right? Moreover, don’t ever look down on a marshal’s capability. Even if jackie takes his family and flees, they have nowhere to hide. And is it really good for them to live a fearful life forever?”

Zain paused for a moment, then only spilled his words confidently, “Therefore, I believe, he will come to the battle tomorrow!”

Quin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart upon hearing Zain’s assertive statements. “Alright then, if this is what you said. I hope he attends the challenge tomorrow, otherwise, you have to chase after him around the world and dig him out no matter what!”

Quil soon left the scene. After a moment of pondering, he sent several bodyguards to stand guard near jackie’s villa, fearing that jackie would bring his family and flee the city. As long as jackie’s family did not leave the city, he believed that jackie would definitely not escape too!

Early the next morning, Selena left to work in a car.

After her car left the villa, an Audi sneaked up, tailing her.

Xena and Fiona, on the other hand, happily prepared themselves and went shopping right after Selena left for work.

However, they did not expect that they would be surrounded by Quil’s bodyguards when they stepped out from the main gate of the villa.

“What are you doing?” Xena was so frightened when she noticed the evil grins and devilish smirks on these bodyguards’ faces.

“Hey, what are you trying to do? Don’t you dare touch us! Let me tell you, my son-in-law is very strong and powerful! And, he—he is a friend of the Goddess of War! Those kings of war and some military bigshots are his buddies too!”

Fiona was even more frightened that she hid behind Xena in fear.

Xena was afraid as well, she then moved and hid behind Fiona,

“What do we want? Well. Our young master is interested in this woman. So we just want to invite her to have fun together!”

One of the bodyguards lampooned coldly.

The heavy boulder inside Fiona’s heart was immediately lifted when she heard the target was Xena instead of her. However, Xena was her future daughter-in-law after all. She paused for some thoughts and then opened her mouth, “Gentlemen, let her go, could you? She is plain-looking and has no outstanding personalities as well! Don’t your young master like pretty women? I’ll pay you money, ten thousand, and you take this money and find some other women for your young master, how about that? Ten thousand can find him several women!”

Chapter 562 “Yes, she is right! Gentlemen, please let me go. I’m not attractive at all and superordinary! I will give you another ten thousand dollars. Use her ten thousand dollars to find some good-looking women for your young master, and use mine to buy yourselves some good wine, is that good enough?”

Standing in front of these strong and robust men, Xena was of course, afraid. She immediately took out her purse, ready to pay them the ten thousand dollars.

“Money? We didn’t come for money today!” Another bodyguard chimed in, with a cunning smirk on his face. “Take both of them away!”

“Wow, brother, hold up.”

The first bodyguard stopped his way immediately. “You two, take out all the cash you have on you!”

“Brother Octo, this is… You dare to oppose the young master’s order?”

The other bodyguard exchanged glances with the bodyguard who was called Brother Octo. His face sank.

Nevertheless, Brother Octo shut his ears at his words, stretched out his hand, and said to Fiona and Xena, “Hurry up! So f*cking slow!”

The two woman’s spirits were immediately lightened and hastily took out all the cash they had on them and then handed it to Brother Octo.

“Wow! Not bad. There are around seventy to eighty thousand dollars. You two carry a lot of cash on you, don’t you?”

When the cash was in his hands, he let out a burst of ungodly laughter.

“Then—then, can we leave now? Thank you, Brother Octo! Thank you for letting us go!”

Fiona flashed them a warm yet nervous smile and grabbed Xena’s hand, preparing to leave the scene.

“Wait a minute!”

Brother Octo breathed out a cold and disdain laughter. He stopped them from taking another step to leave. “Well, I never said I would let you go. You were so nice and generous to give me money, why should I reject your kindness, right?”

“You’re right, Brother Octo. We’re taking them away anyway. And since they are rich and offered us the money, why shouldn’t we take it?”

The realization only hit the other bodyguard’s face after hearing Brother Octo’s words. He admired Brother Octo more right now, how could he be so smart and bright?

“You—you guys, shameless b*stard! How could you go back on your words!”

Xena was burning with anger. She gave them money but yet they did not intend to let them go!

“Going back on my words? What is there to go back when I never promised you anything?”

The man chuckled and scanned through their body again. “Well, I almost missed out on this little thing. The jade bracelet on your wrist, the gold necklace around your neck, oh, and that watch too! Don’t you think they’re lovely? Take them off now!”

“You—You, dream on! Let me warn you, you’d better let us go, otherwise, when my son-in-law comes, you won’t be leaving here in one piece. You’ll be crippled! He is very strong and powerful! You’re as good as dead when he arrives!”

Fiona was so terrified that she stumbled a few steps backward.

Those pieces of jewelry and accessories on her were not only a few, every piece of them would cost somebody an arm and a leg. They were a lot more valuable than cash.

“You’re funny, aren’t you? Don’t worry. Your dear son-in-law is dead meat now that he offended our young master!”

Brother Octo let out another chuckle and then he continued, “Hurry up and take them off! If I don’t see them on the floor in the next minute, I can’t promise what will happen to your pretty faces. Bruises and cuts seem like excellent accessories to put on your faces, right?”

Chapter 563 “Yeah! Take them off quickly! Otherwise, I will cut your faces!” Another bodyguard flashed out a dagger and sneered.

“We-we’ll take them off. Can you please let us go?”

Fiona’s legs were weakened when she saw the bodyguard took out a dagger. Although she was reluctant and unwilling to give them her inexpensive jewels, her life was way more important than these earthly materials. Besides, she considered herself lucky as the other party did not force her to go to a bank and withdraw all her money.

“Do you think it’s possible? Use your brain! Our young master’s order can’t be defied. He told us clearly that not only do we need to take this woman away, but also your daughter, Selena Taylor. Some of our men are tailing her right now and she will be taken away before arriving at the office.”

Brother Octo chortled, “Our young master has his eyes fixated on these two pretty ladies. He is very fond of their alluring body and stunning face. He ordered us to take them to him and have fun with him!”

“Ma, this is all because of jackie! That b*stard has surely offended some young master again! We’re done for!”

Xena was seething and her body trembled with anger. She was in this situation all because of that b*stard— jackie White!

“They must be Young Master Clark’s men. Why must jackie offend all these young masters? I’ve been telling him to stay low and not to cause us any trouble! Look at his deed right now! We’re so done!”

Fiona handed the jewels to the other party, reluctantly. However, her eyes suddenly lit up as though she had thought of some good ideas. She proposed, “Dear Brother Octo, your Young Master has only given an order to take my daughter and Xena jackieson away, right? He didn’t mention me, right? Look, I’m innocent, I did nothing wrong! I’ve given you all I have, so many jewels and so much money, can’t you let me go?”

“Do you mean we’ll take this woman away and let you go?”

Brother Octo did not see that coming. He was dumbstruck for a second before asking the question.

“Yes! I’m so old. There’s no need for you to take me away too, right?”

Fiona showed a pitiful face.

“Ma, how—how could you leave me?”

Xena was tongue-tied. Was Fiona not being too much for leaving her alone in such a dangerous situation?

“Xena, they came for you! I’m innocent and have nothing to do with it! Even if they take me with you, I have nothing to offer them; I have no value, right?” Fiona immediately countered.

She cast Xena a few intentional blinks when the other party was not paying attention.

Xena was not an idiot. She was able to catch Fiona’s intention quickly—if they let go of Fiona, she would have the chance to go to jackie and ask for help. Otherwise, if they were all taken away, there was no way for jackie to find out about their situation. By the time jackie knew it, it might be too late.

“Fine. You’d better let my mother go. She is not young anymore and her heart couldn’t stand any more scares! You guys might have frightened her to death before arriving at your young master’s place, do you want that?”

Xena gave some thoughts to the situation before saying that to those men.

One of the bodyguards was hesitant; he pulled Brother Octo aside and whispered to him, “Brother Octo, what now? Should we let that woman go? After all, the young master has only ordered us to bring Selena and Xena back to his place. These two chicks are truly some fine gems. Our young master has good taste, doesn’t he?

Nonetheless, Brother Octo shook his head. “No, jackie will go to the battle and he will die, undoubtedly. By that time, our young master would have been done playing with Selena and Xena. And do you think he will leave them alive and let them go to the Goddess of War? He will kill them to shut their mouth! Otherwise, they will seek help from the Goddess of War and take revenge, by then we’re doomed!”

He paused for a moment, turned his head toward Fiona, and continued, “So, jackie’s mother-in-law must be taken away too! As long as our young master is no fool, he will not let this old hag live as well. It would be real trouble for him if he let her live. A dead man will never spill any secrets, right? She has bad luck, to be walking together with Xena, not our fault.”

The bodyguard nodded to agree after listening to Brother Octo’s analysis. “Brother Octo, you’re such a thoughtful man! Take them away!”

The two walked back to the crowd after finishing their discussion.

Brother Octo waved his arm and commanded, “Take the both of them away! Fiona, blame it on yourself. Nobody asked you to walk with Xena!”

Chapter 564 “Don’t, please don’t, Brother Octo! I’m not in my 20s or 30s anymore and my heart is frail too! What if you frightened me to death?”

Fiona’s features crumpled at his words, and then she was so scared that she plopped onto the ground and started to throw tantrums.

“It doesn’t matter anyway! Do you think you still have a chance to survive after you’re taken away?”

One of the bodyguards approached Fiona and directly picked her up from the ground.

The faint smell of perfume on Fiona’s body entered his nose. He became excited and his face full of enjoyment, “Hmmm. This old woman maintained her body well! She’s still in good shape! Most importantly, this chubby body type is exactly my cup of tea!”

“Lori, are you fond of the old aunty type?”

A young-looking bodyguard laughed aloud, battering with another mid-aged bodyguard as they pulled Xena into the car.

“Young men like you don’t understand this! A woman like her is more mature, and has more experience, right?”

The bodyguard who had a peculiar taste in women was indeed quite old. He looked like he was in his 40s. He laughed and spoke, “A mature woman is definitely not our young master’s type. And later when the young master is having fun with these two young ladies, wouldn’t you be excited and drool over them as well?”

After he ended his words, he slapped Fiona’s body hard and commented with a perverted smirk on his face, “When the fun time comes, I will taste this mature woman. It’s better than just standing aside and looking at the young master having fun!”

“You b*stard! You jerk! My son-in-law knows the God of War! If you do this to me, you are planning your own funeral!”

Fiona yelled and screamed, trying to fight her way out from their holds.

However, she was merely a woman—she could not fight against the powerful strengths of those bodyguards with bulky builts. She was not able to free herself with her feeble arms. The bodyguards picked her up and strode to another car, where Xena was not in.

“You should be grateful and feel fortunate that I have an eye on you! This way, you could still enjoy yourself before you die!”

The mid-aged bodyguard laughed sinisterly, and the hideous scar on his face made him appear even more devilish. “Don’t you worry? The God of War will definitely not know regarding today’s matter, and

your dear son-in-law will die in front of you soon, too!”

“Im—impossible! He is so powerful! Who are you guys?”

Fiona was so afraid right now, and she was forcefully stuffed into the car with a bodyguard sitting on each side—she was sitting in the middle. There was no way for her to escape.

“He is powerful? Huff! Don’t be preoccupied with this. The person who wants his life is naturally even more powerful!”

The mid-aged man with a hideous scar on his face sneered mockingly after listening to Fiona’s claim.

His eyes then moved toward Fiona’s fair and plump thighs, he could not help but swallow hard at what he saw. “Tsk tsk! Rich women like you are truly amazing. Your body is well maintained and looked about the same as those women in their 30s!”

“Please don’t do this, Mister. I’m very old and there are many wrinkles on my skin. I’m already in my 40s! Could you please let me go? Please, I beg you! I’ve given you all my money. Please let us go!” Fiona kept pleading in fear, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

The most terrifying thing was that the other party’s tone sounded like they will kill her to shut her mouth!

The more Fiona dug into this, the more she believed that they were definitely afraid of the God of War. So naturally, they wanted to kill them to silence them. Otherwise, they would be digging the grave for themselves when Fiona or Xena went to the God of War.

“I don’t think you’re that old. Perhaps a few years older than me and I like it this way!”

The man laughed loudly, “Just accept your fate and don’t think about running away. Don’t make any noise neither, otherwise, I will tear your clothes now and let everyone see!”

Chapter 565 Fiona’s face blanched and unsightly upon hearing the mid-aged man’s words. She shut her mouth tight and never spilled a word anymore.

In the other car, Xena was frowning at the situation. At this moment, she was nothing but calm.

After all, she was guarded by two big men on each side—she was sitting in the middle, and she knew that there was no way for her to escape and to fight back.

She was now using every single brain cells of hers to think about what she should do in order to keep herself out of danger.

She pondered for a minute and then finally opened her mouth, “Brother Octo, who’s your young master? The b*stard jackie offended so many people and I seriously have no idea who he offended this time.” She turned her head, facing Brother Octo.

A cold scoff was released from Brother Octo’s mouth. “You don’t have to worry about this. You’ll know when you arrive at his place. I’m not obliged to tell you the truth, though you’re going to die soon!”

The corners of Xena’s mouth twitched involuntarily. She cogitated for a second and then pried tentatively, “Brother Octo, isn’t your young master from the Wilson family?”

Xena felt that the mastermind was most likely Young Master Wilson. After all, he was slapped till he was unconscious by Ivan Taylor two days ago, and the act was commanded by jackie! Nobody could even recognize Young Master Wilson at that moment, as his face was as swollen as a pig’s head.

Therefore, it was natural for Young Master Wilson to hold this grudge against jackie, just that Xena did not expect the revenge to come so quick!

“No, what Wilson family? Young Master Wilson is just a brat before our young master!”

Of course, Brother Octo stepped into the trap that Xena set for him, and spilled out some information.

Although this information did not reveal the identity of the mastermind, it did give Xena a heart attack.

After all, the Wilson family was a second-class aristocratic family in Eastfield, and they were not far away from being a first-class aristocratic family!

Such a powerful family was nothing compared to this mastermind? If this was really the case, jackie had really offended someone from a first-class aristocratic family this time!

Xena’s pallor turned unsightly and plain when she thought of it. When did the b*stard jackie offend a first- class aristocratic family? However, it seemed to be easier to guess now since it was a first-class family.

There was a daughter of the Young family, called Rue Young, and she had a younger brother. But that younger brother of hers was too young, only thirteen years old or so. Hence, the possibility for jackie to offend the Young family was near to zero.

As for the George family, it was even more impossible! The George family had only one daughter, who was Sharon George. She loved jackie deeply and could not wait to marry him! How could she want to kill jackie?

Therefore, the remaining possibility was the young masters from the Mont family and the Roy family— Grayson Mont and Robert Roy.

Now, which of these two young masters did jackie offend?

After thinking about the matter, she truly felt that jackie had probably offended Grayson from the Mont family. After all, the head of Mont family and Grayson Mont both appeared at Old Master Taylor’s birthday banquet, whereas the head of Roy family was the only representative from their family to attend the banquet.

“Brother Octo, every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. It’s jackie who offended your young master. You can’t find a replacement, which is me, to take revenge, right?”

“This, this is too unfair, isn’t it?”

Xena’s anger grew deeper and deeper as she spoke. “If you really want to get revenge, find his wife! They’re husband and wife, so it’s reasonable to get Selena instead of me! I’m just a girlfriend of jackie’s brother-in-law, not even a Taylor. How could you target an outsider?”

“Stop whining! Our young master has seen you before and remembered your stunning body. Both you and Selena are beautiful and attractive. So it’d be better to get two instead of one, right?”

Brother Octo let out a chortle; his hand was not idling—resting on Xena’s lap. “If I were our young master, I would want both of you too!”

Chapter 566 Meanwhile, Selena was still on the road as she neared her workplace.

Out of the blue, a black Audi intercepted her car and stopped her effectively.

“Hey! Watch where you’re going!”

A flicker of irritation shot through her. She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt to get out of the car, her anger evident on her face.

She then felt a sinking feeling the moment she stepped out of her car. She noted that there was another car parked right behind hers, and it effectively disabled her from reversing the car. Eight herculean men in black suits got off the cars and walked toward her, their faces passive and stoic.

“What are you doing?”

Selena was so terrified that her face began losing color.

“What are we doing? Isn’t it obvious? We’re here to take you away!”

One of the big men sneered. He eyed her sleazily, and an equally perverted grin appeared on his face. “Not bad! You’re indeed the infamous ‘Beauty Queen of Eastfield’, and it does help that you’re already married, which adds to your allure and charm. You make me want to taste you too!”

One of the men quickly interjected him as he commented, “She’s the one Young Master had been eyeing, so hurry up and bring her to him! Don’t mess up!”

“Y—You get out of my sight! If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call the police!”

Selena was so frightened that she could hear her heart thundering in her ears, abnormally and loudly so. She struggled to calm down and assess the situation. She then said, “My husband is strong and powerful! I’m telling you now that if you dare to touch a single strand of my hair, you won’t get out of here in one piece when my husband comes!”

“I wouldn’t worry about that. Your husband’s going to die today! Also, did you say you’d call the police? Do you think that’ll help?”

One of the big men teased with an evil grin on his face. “Besides, we won’t give you any chance to call the police!”

“Let her go!”

A sharp and stern voice was heard in the air. A man stood not too far away from the commotion, and he walked toward them.

“Marshal Dennis!”

When the figure of Marshal Dennis came into Selena’s sight, she heaved an internal sigh of relief. It only occurred to her then that he was their family bodyguard, and he promised jackie he would protect her and their family whenever he could from the shadows.

“A war marshal?”

The eight bodyguards exclaimed in unison. They nearly peed their pants when they recognized him. The eight of them combined would not even rival a major in the military. What more a marshal?

As Marshal Dennis approached them, one of the men managed to hiss out in fear, “Sh*t! What now?”

They were bodyguards of the Xenos family, each very skillful combatants. Had they been members serving the army, they would rank as assistant commanders. A few of them could be head commanders!

Of course, they would never be able to compete against a major or marshal.

“Don’t be afraid!”

One of them bravely stepped up with his head held high. “Hmph! This woman is pretty smart! She’s trying to scare us away, huh? This man is no marshal! A marshal appeared out of nowhere just as we’re about to take her? There’s no such coincidence in the world! She’s lying; that’s what this is!”

“Damn, sh*t! You’re right! I almost got fooled!”

Another facepalmed. “You reminded me of something. I heard that the rascal was a head commander. Just a head commander, and you told me that a marshal is here to protect his wife? Be their bodyguard, nonetheless? Bullsh*t! If the so-called marshal came here by coincidence, this woman shouldn’t be able to know his name!”

“Yes, yes, yes! This woman emphasizes the word ‘marshal’ too! This is obviously to scare us! Why didn’t she call that man Dennis instead of Marshal Dennis?” another chimed in as though the situation had been shifted to their favor.

Dennis stopped right in front of them, snarled in an icy cold tone.

“Who’s your young master? How dare he order Miss Selena to be kidnapped!”

He heaved an internal sigh of relief that he was free and came here today. Otherwise, he would never be able to face jackie if something happened to Selena.

Chapter 567 “Little brat, you don’t deserve to know who our young master is!”

One of the men stepped forward and snarled, “If you have a brain, you’d do well to scram this instant! Otherwise, don’t blame my fists for taking your life!”

“Your fists? I’m afraid that you won’t be seeing them after this. She already said that I’m a marshal. How dare you act all cocky and almighty before me? Did Fish Leong¹ sing you her song ‘Courage’?” came the scathing comment of Dennis. “If you tell me your young master’s name right now, I might think of sparing your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what’s about to happen.”

“Oh, wow! You’re some tough guy, aren’t you? Let me try how hard your fists are then!”

The guy clenched his fist, prepared to swing his arm.

“Brothers, let’s beat this guy together and cripple him! Let him be nosy!”

“Yeah! Don’t waste time, let’s do it together. Our young master is still waiting for this woman!”

In a split second, all eight men charged toward Dennis with their arms lifted high.

The eight of them dropped like flies to the ground. They were like carrots on the chopping board while Marshal Dennis was the chef, and chopped them mercilessly he did. Five of them were dead while two laid on the ground as they struggled to breathe, unable to move a muscle.

Only one was left alive; Dennis intentionally spared his life. Though injured, the man still managed to get up and stand not far away from Dennis.

“I’ll only ask you one question: Who’s your young master? Who instigated you to kidnap Miss Selena? I’ll spare your life if you tell me everything!”

Ruthless in the fight, Dennis spoke to the spared man with utter indifference as he walked toward him. As he closed in, he eliminated both men that laid on the ground still gasping for air.

“Hmph! Not a chance! We’re faithful and loyal to our young master!”

The last standing bodyguard paused for a few seconds before he took out a dagger and stabbed himself on his neck. The bodyguard fell to the ground, and his body twitched for a few seconds before he breathed his last.

“He’s got guts!” Dennis commented dryly, his eyes glued onto the body on the ground.

Selena immediately approached Dennis to express her utmost gratitude. “Thank you, Marshal Dennis! If it weren’t for you, I’d be in their hand right now!”

“You’re welcome, Miss Selena. I’m your bodyguard, and I gave jackie my word to protect you. It’s only natural that I fulfil my duty! jackie saved me before, after all.”

A warm smile was etched on Dennis’s face, and he then continued, “Your office isn’t far from here, so I’ll wait until you get to it. Don’t worry about these bodies; I’ll find someone to handle it later, and I’ll have to visit your house after that. It does concern me that others could be in danger as well.”

“Alright.” Selena nodded in agreement before she made her way back into her car and drove away.

…

In an abandoned building on Horizon Street, Quil Xenos was at ease as he rested. Behind him were almost a hundred bodyguards, standing still.

All these bodyguards in black suits were skilled fighters, and they seemed zealous.

“Marshal Zain, that day you told me that your only aim is to kill jackie, right? You wouldn’t care about other details, am I right?”

Quil smirked devilishly.

“You’re right. I only want jackie’s head, and I don’t give a sh*t about other things!”

Zain’s eyes were ice-cold passive as though he just came out from an ice cave. He stood right there, waiting for jackie’s arrival.

Chapter 568 “Great! As long as you don’t interfere with my business.”

Quil cackled wickedly and added, “I’ll never forget that jackie killed my uncle. You kill him to avenge your master, and I’ll play with his woman to avenge my uncle!”

“Hmph! It never occurred to me that the Xenos family’s young master would be such an immoral pimp. How could you bury your dirty deeds with such tactful and noble sayings?” came Zain’s jibe, his contempt blatant in his eyes.

He was seeing Quil in a different light at that point; a bad one at that. “Someone who has studied at a university like you must think differently.”

Quil guffawed once more. “A university? Ha! Do you mean the useless certificate that I’ve paid to get it? Well, I suppose that counts!”

Quil’s grin widened as his mind began to wander, back to the ‘good old days’ in university. “Speaking of which, those university beauties or class beauties were good-looking and tasted good. I do miss the good ol’ days in school; life felt so free back then. The best thing was that I was always surrounded by a group of stunning women.”

Zain could not be bothered with his university story. Such a guy was rubbish and scum in his eyes. His only objective and interest were to kill jackie.

It was then when two cars drifted from the corner and halted outside the abandoned building. A few bodyguards in black suits came out of the car, with Fiona and Xena in tow, and they went into the building.

Zain—who stood near the edge of the third floor—saw the group entering the building.

When Brother Octo noticed Xena was about to open her mouth again, wanting to persuade these men to let her go, he shoved her aggressively and snapped, “Move your butts and stop talking!”

Xena turned her head and faced Brother Octo pitifully; she did not want to take another step into the building. “Brothers, I—I’m not even a Taylor! You don’t have to kill me. I promise not to spill a word if you let me go! I promise I’ll leave Eastfield as soon as, and as far as possible! Please let me go, okay?”

To Xena, it seemed as though they would not only be violated, but they could be silenced forever as well. She knew these men would kill them so that they could not look for the Goddess of War and ask for her help. She knew this was to prevent the Goddess of War from helping jackie.

The abandoned building before her was nothing but a huge tomb for them. She would not make it out alive once she stepped inside.

Equally afraid to enter the building, Fiona began to plead as well as she turned to Brother Octo and whimpered, “Yes, Brothers, please let us go! I—I can leave Eastfield immediately too, and you won’t hear from me anymore!”

“If your target is jackie, just kill him! It has nothing to do with my daughter and me! Please let us go!”

Both of them were utterly terrified.

Slap! Slap!

Instead of mercy, they were smacked instead. “Jesus fcking Christ! Women are so fcking troublesome and always nag!” Brother Octo ranted. “I already told you that jackie has offended our young master, but killing jackie isn’t enough! Our young master has a clear order for us: He must have Selena Taylor and Xena to relieve his pent-up hatred!”

Xena and Fiona no longer dared to open their mouths after they were slapped. They fearfully covered their face with their hands, not daring to make any noise.

“Let’s move!”

Some of the bodyguards pushed Xena and Fiona from behind, urging them to enter the building. They soon arrived at the third floor of the abandoned building.

“It’s not Young Master Clark?”

The skin between Fiona’s brows crinkled. She always thought that the person behind all these was Ken Clark. After all, Ken Clark had gone to their old house before and brought a bunch of men, yelling to demolish their house. He even brought along a marshal! Ken Clark was no simple man! Moreover, of all the young masters, only Ken had a close relationship with Selena and had known each other for the longest time. He should be the one who harbored the biggest hatred toward jackie.

Chapter 569 “Wait… What? It’s not Young Master Mont either?” Xena was taken aback, confused when she saw the man before them. She then recalled Brother Octo saying that even Young Master Wilson was a mere underling to his young master. In other words, his young master must have had more power than the Wilson family; it meant that this person had to be from a first-class family! Still, the man standing before them was a total stranger!

“You sure you brought your brain with you? I’m a young master from a prominent aristocratic family in Sky City!” Quil howled in laughter before he turned to Brother Octo. “Octito, why did you bring this wrinkly babushka here too?”

Not waiting for Brother Octo to start speaking, Fiona quickly intervened, “Young Master, they got the wrong person. I’m not the one you’re looking for. Could you please let me go?”

Brother Octo waited for a moment before he went before his master and explained, “Young Master, this woman is jackie’s mother-in-law. These two happened to be together when we went to kidnap Xena. It’s only logical we take them both, right? After all, what if she goes to the Goddess of War and looks for help?”

Quil nodded, pleased with the explanation. “Good job, Octito! Since you’ve taken her here, we’ll kill them all together later!”

Smiling, the bodyguard who had perverted thoughts about Fiona ran to Quil and asked, “Young Master, this woman isn’t that bad. She’s well-maintained and in good shape. Can we have this old grandma while you’re having your way with both Selena and Xena later? We’ll likely get excited, too!”

“Of course! Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect you to be fond of this type of woman!” Quil howled in laughter and turned to Fiona, who was shaking in terror. “ jackie’s wife is the Beauty Queen of Eastfield, so it’s only natural his mother-in-law is good-looking as well,” he sleazily commented. “If this old woman is ten years younger, I might want to taste her too!”

“Young Master, do you mean that you’re okay with it?” The bodyguard’s mood was boosted at the young master’s response. It looked like his wish would be granted.

“Of course!” Quil chuckled wholeheartedly. “Hold your horses. We’ll wait until this old woman’s daughter is here, and then we can start.”

“Good idea!” The bodyguard grinned as though a perverted spirit possessed his body. He walked towards Fiona and caressed her cheek, clicking his tongue as he did so. “Not bad! It feels so tender!”

Fiona clenched her teeth angrily and spat on the man’s face. “*sshole!”

“Fcking btch! Do you have a death wish?” Rage flowed through the bodyguard like hot lava. He grabbed her hair and pulled her toward him with an iron grip.

“Aah!” Fiona cried out in pain, and the man finally loosened his grip.

“You’d better stay put and keep your mouth shut! Hmph! Otherwise, I don’t mind ripping off your clothes and start doing you right now!” threatened the man.

Brother Octo then frowned. “This is strange. Why isn’t Selena here yet?” he spoke. “Our men followed her right after she left the villa!”

Quil looked at his watch as he spoke, “They should be here soon!” He thought that jackie should be arriving soon as well. “Later when jackie arrives, we’ll play his woman and his mother-in-law in front of him. He’d boil with so much anger, he’d vomit blood!”

Chapter 570 At this moment, jackie had arrived at an area not far from the ruined building. He took out a cigarette and smoked it before walking toward the building.

“He’s here!” Zain, who stood near the edge of the third floor, watched as jackie approached. He chortled frostily, “ jackie didn’t disappoint me at all. He’s a trustworthy person!”

Once Fiona knew jackie was here, she—held between two bulky men—immediately shouted, “ jackie, help! You good-for-nothing b*stard, how could you offend the people from Sky City? Why are you so slow? Hurry up and save us! We’re in this state because of you!”

“ jackie, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here!”

Xena’s eyes reddened. It would be the worst thing on the earth for her to die here today.

Truthfully, Xena might still be able to stomach reality if these men just wanted to violate her instead of killing her. She supposed she could blame it on her bad luck. However, the other party wanted to silence

her for good! This amplified the fear in her heart 10 times more!

jackie’s forehead creased when he heard Fiona’s voice, and his face darkened within a second. He lifted up his head and eyed the man on the third floor with the coldest glare. He flickered the cigarette butt from his hand and began to run.

jackie was akin to a lightning bolt—incredibly fast. Faster than anyone could blink, he arrived at the entrance. Stomping just once, he leaped to the height of three floors and landed just beside Zain.

“What an incredible jump!”

Zain’s eyebrows furrowed when he saw jackie landing on the third floor with just a stomp of his foot. He knew right away that jackie was no ordinary man.

The heavy boulder inside jackie’s heart was lifted, and he sighed in relief when he saw both Fiona and Xena were unharmed.

Nonetheless, his mind still ran rampant with rage. With hate and anger in his eyes, he glared at Zain. “You said it yourself yesterday that as long as I attended the challenge, you wouldn’t do anything to my family! I didn’t expect you to go back on your own word, being so untrustworthy!”

Zain forced a wan smile and said, “I’m looking for you to avenge my master. I’m a man of his word.”

He paused for a moment, turned his head toward Quil and his men, and then continued, “While I did make such a promise that I won’t harm your family, I also won’t intervene Young Master Xenos’s plans on your family. That’s on him, his decision.”

“Wait, he jumped to get here?” Quil gulped when he thought of jackie’s ability to reach the third floor so fast. “How high is the third floor?” he asked his men. “How many of you can jump up here from the ground?”

The men’s glum faces and silence answered Quil’s question for him.

One of the bodyguards, with a solemn expression, stepped forward and spoke, “If it’s only two stories high, I can definitely do the same!”

Quil’s face sank at his words. The one who spoke was one of the best combatants among the bodyguards. Quil did not expect jackie to be so powerful and strong.

Nevertheless, he had a more powerful warrior here—Marshal Zain. With his skills and abilities, it would not be hard to send jackie six feet under!

“ jackie, hurry up and save us! These men not only kidnaped us both, but they’ve also sent someone after Selena!” Fiona wailed at jackie with tears brimming in her eyes.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’m here now. You’ll be fine, and these bastards are as good as dead!”

jackie’s expression remained frosty and dark as he glared at Quil. “Young Master Xenos, I never expected that you were behind this!”

“Bastard, you’ve asked for it! If it wasn’t for you that day, my uncle wouldn’t have died!”

Chapter 571 Quil guffawed. “Marshall Zain Yorke is going to kill you to avenge his master. I, on the other hand, am going to enjoy toying with your woman to avenge my uncle. How does it sound? My revenge plan sounds good, right?”

“Hmph. In your dreams!” jackie chuckled, though without humor in them. “You’ll surely be disappointed to know Selena won’t be kidnapped. I guarantee you that.”

“You seem confident. Do you think my bodyguards are useless? Do you think that they can’t get one simple woman?” Quil started laughing out loud.

Their exchange was then cut off when jackie’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and picked it up. Sure enough, it was Selena.

He turned on the loudspeaker. “Honey, are you alright?”

“Honey, I met a few men when I was on my way to work just now, and they wanted to kidnap me. They must’ve been bodyguards of some random young master. You have to be careful because they’re going to attack you!” replied Selena, anxious and fretting. “Luckily, Dennis rescued me just in time, and now I’m fine. I’m only worried about you, my mother, and the others. Are they alright?”

“Daughter, Xena and I are kidnapped!” Fiona started yelling when she heard her daughter’s voice.

The corners of jackie’s mouth twitched ever so slightly. Why did Fiona have to yell at this moment? Would that not just worry Selena?

“How could this be? jackie, Mother, and Xena are kidnapped? Who did this?” Selena grew even more anxious. She only knew that this person was utterly horrible for kidnapping Fiona and Xena.

Honestly, it was fine if they only kidnapped Xena; Selena would not even bat an eye if Xena died.

Alas, her mother was also dragged into this mess, thus her worry worsened.

“Honey, don’t worry about us,” jackie instantly spoke up in an attempt to comfort Selena, “just carry on! I’m here to protect them, and I’ve eliminated some of their men to save them both. I’ll call you after everything is settled here.”

“Alright… I’ll be waiting for your call,” Selena conceded. “You have to be careful!”

“Did you hear her? My wife is fine.” jackie grinned triumphantly the moment he hung up. “Sorry, but mission failed.”

jackie then turned to Fiona. “Don’t worry, Mother, Selena’s fine,” he quickly assured her. “I’m coming over to save you right now!”

“Alright, it’s good that Selena is safe!” Fiona began to settle down when she heard that her daughter was fine. Her only concern at the moment was whether her son-in-law could save them. Although jackie had slain countless men before, Fiona had never seen him fight in person; she was usually absent when jackie had to fight. Of course, she had only seen jackie fighting some useless thugs. This was the cause of her worry. She feared that this would be jackie’s suicide mission and was incapable of saving them.

“So Selena wasn’t captured? That’s fine.” Quil looked at Xena before walking over and pulled her to him. “This woman’s not bad, so I’ll toy with her instead!”

Chapter 572 Zain could barely stand Quil’s behavior. “Take it to a place upstairs if you want to do anything; don’t disturb me. I’ll be here to settle this guy!”

Quil laughed at what Marshal Yorke had to say. “Alright, I’ll leave this guy to you, since he’s just a commander. We’re going upstairs to enjoy ourselves. Surely settling a mere commander is no hard job for you!”

Quil and the others approached the stairs to the fourth floor while picking up Xena and Fiona.

“Let go of me!” Xena screamed as she struggled vehemently.

These f*cking bodyguards were no good people; they kept grabbing at her thighs as they brought her up the stairs.

“ jackie, save me! If it wasn’t because of you, we wouldn’t be kidnapped!” Fiona shrieked. “If anything happens to me, my daughter won’t let you off the hook so easily!”

“Go away, you b*stards! Go away!” Fiona was scared witless, her struggle never ceased as she was carried away. Her face turned pale from being terror-struck, and her hair was ruffled due to her

struggling.

“Don’t worry, I’ll come soon!” jackie was slightly at ease when only two bodyguards remained at the entrance while the rest went up the stairs.

Zain was a marshall, and if Xena and Fiona saw how effortlessly he could eliminate a marshall, they would be under the suspicion that he was a King of War. It would be tedious to explain that to them. On the contrary, it would be easier to explain things when they saw nothing.

Zain looked at jackie indifferently as he commented, “Young man, you can’t blame this on me. I only want to kill you to avenge my master!”

“Your master is Magnus Sutherland, right? You want to avenge a piece of trash like him?” jackie chuckled, his fists raised as he adjusted his stance. “Since my mother-in-law and Xena are in danger, my only course of action is to finish you off and save them right after.”

“Really? How dare you act all cocky when you know I’m a marshal?” Zain smirked a malicious smirk, and there was a glimmer of pure malice in his eyes. “Young man, do you think that I’m a marshal because I bribed my way there? You’re wrong. I’m already a marshal several years after I enlisted, and I earned that position with my punches. I’m not like those men who became marshals through good luck and relationship with others, or without any plausible skills!”

Zain then ceased his rambling. He took one step forward and the distance of a few meters between him and jackie disappeared just like that. The next second, he was already in front of jackie.

“That’s speedy!” The two bodyguards left guarding the entrance inhaled sharply as they watched the fight unfold. Was this the true strength of a marshal? Such strength was downright terrifying.

Zain balled his fist and dashed toward jackie in one swift movement.

While it seemed as though it was an ordinary punch, the power behind it was a force not to be reckoned with. Moreover, it was very fast. Had any normal men be at the receiving end, they would have fallen in an instant. Zain believed jackie stood no chance against this sort of power.

Yet, jackie made no move to evade. He balled his own fists and threw one punch, his fist collided against Zain’s. It was as though he had anticipated this attack.

‘Oh, so he will stand and fight?’ The thought crossed Zain’s mind the moment jackie threw his punch to fight back, and he was obviously taken aback.

“That’s so fast!” Zain then began to feel fear. jackie should not have been able to intercept his fist with his own.

He threw his punch later than Zain did, yet jackie’s punch zipped through the air and met his much faster.

There was a dull, muffled noise and Zain flew backward. He knocked down a wall two or three meters away as he zipped through the air.

These walls were solidified and very thick, despite looking rather normal. The strength of a normal person would never be able to knock the wall down.

Chapter 573 Zain, luckily, was a strong and powerful marshal. With the immense strength he had developed in his heavily trained body, he managed to stand up once more. Nonetheless, the alarming impact he suffered had injured his body badly. When he stood up, his throat felt a gush of sweet liquid and he vomited blood. His face turned pale.

“How is this possible?!” The two guards were expecting to see jackie beaten into a pulp. They were not, however, ready to see Zain flying through the air with just jackie’s punch, while he stood unharmed. It was as though nothing happened to jackie; he stood perfectly still.

“I—Impossible! Aren’t y—you a commander?!” Zain shook his head, utterly shocked at the turnout of events.

jackie had on a menacing smirk, and he rushed at Zain like a bolt of lightning.

“This isn’t good!” Zain had raised one fist when jackie caught it. jackie’s other free hand grabbed onto his neck—effectively choking him—and he lifted him off of the ground in that hold.

jackie roared before smashing Zain against the floor with all his might.

The sound echoed through the air and dust from the floor rose into clouds. Zain’s eyes went wide in fear as blood oozed from the back of his head.

“Y—You’re not a commander… Who…who are you?” Zain spoke breathlessly. Kicking his legs weakly for the last time, he perished.

Those two bodyguards looked at each other, turned around, and were about to run away. “Aah!”

jackie then stood up, with two bricks at hand.

He threw both bricks with such power, and they bolted through the air before hitting the two guards at the back of their heads. Both bodyguards fell to the ground, dead.

…

“What’s happening downstairs? You guys, go down and take a look!” Quil barked at his men when he heard the blood-curdling screams downstairs. He had just kissed Xena a few times and was about to take her clothes off.

“Yes, Young Master.” Those bodyguards could only nod and walk toward the stairs, despite wanting to stay for the view.

Just as they reached the stairs, two bricks slammed into their heads. They fell as they bled.

“Young Master, t—this guy is coming up!” The bodyguards were extremely frightened when they saw jackie coming up.

Was Marshal Zain Yorke not supposed to finish jackie off? Why was this man still alive and was able to pass them?

“How’s that possible?!” Quil was just as taken aback. He never anticipated jackie would still be alive and would come up here.

jackie bolted forward, punching one bodyguard after another, his might showcased in such a petrifying manner. His body reeked with murderous intent.

Chapter 574 At this moment, jackie was like a bulldozer. The bodyguards surrounded him one after another, but they dropped like flies.

Everything happened too fast, and men were falling to the ground, dead. Some people almost had their hearts burst into pieces, while others had holes punched to their chest in an utterly gruesome manner.

“That so-called Marshal doesn’t have the fighting power as he so boldly claimed.” jackie strolled in an oddly relaxed manner, a grin on his face as he did. “He must’ve become a marshal because of his relationship with Magnus Sutherland!”

“How’s this possible? This is very bad…!” Some of the bodyguards were so frightened that their legs started trembling. In a short period of time, only 20 to 30 of them were left.

“Fck… Could that be true?! That fcking Zain was all conceited and pompous to me all the time, and here I thought he had what it takes. He even bragged that he could kill jackie quickly!” Fear crept onto Quil as he saw his men dying before him. He immediately took out a gun and pointed it at Xena’s head.

“Don’t move, young man. If you come any closer, I’ll kill her!” Quil gritted his teeth and said.

jackie immediately stopped walking. At this point, bodies of dead men were scattered all over the floor behind him.

“Don’t… Don’t come any closer!” Xena waved her hands in fright as the gun was pointed to her head.

She had hoped that she would be rescued, but she had no idea that this Young Master Xenos had a gun with him.

It was then when a thought occurred to her; jackie was far capable and stronger. Back then, the son of the Dragon God clan’s chief had a gun with him too, no? That man wanted to kill jackie, too, but that failed terribly. That in itself was proof of jackie’s daunting prowess. However, the current situation was different. This time, the gun was not pointing to jackie… It was pointed at her!

“F*ck. This guy managed to come up here!” Brother Octo was also frightened. He had already let go of Fiona, and Fiona was so frightened that she hid in a corner. She curled up and shivered, not wanting to see the event that was about to unfold.

The last thing they expected was for jackie to advance again.

“You… Stop right there! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill her?” When Quil saw jackie coming closer once more, his once settled-down heart began thumping in fear again.

“She’s told you before that she’s an outsider to the family, right? She asserted before that she’s not married into the Taylor family yet. She’s not Ben’s wife, so you can kill her if you want to. I’m fine with it!” jackie chuckled and stopped walking when he noticed a small pebble on the floor.

He had no other way to do this as he wanted to kill these people, but he could not use ways that were overly against nature. This embarrassed jackie. He had to control his fighting abilities so Xena would not

equate him to the strength of marshals or Kings of War. If he came off too strong, he would not be able to hide his identity anymore.

Xena was so surprised that she immediately yelled at jackie, “ jackie, what are you joking about? I’m about to marry Ben, and you don’t want to save me?! Fine, you bastard! I see you have a grudge against me! You’re still holding onto what happened last time, right?!”

jackie merely laughed it off. “No matter what, you’re really an outsider!” He shrugged his shoulders, unfazed and uncaring.

The corners of Quil’s mouth slightly trembled. If that was the case, was the hostage in his arms useless?

When Fiona heard that jackie could not be bothered about Xena’s fate, she immediately shrieked, “ jackie, save her! She’s the wife of your brother-in-law! How can you be so selfish?!”

Chapter 575 Momentarily stunned, Quil quickly recovered, and a smirk made its way on his face. “Yes, she’s an outsider, but your mother-in-law isn’t, right?”

He shifted the aim from Xena and was about to point it at Fiona—who was by the corner—to get her walking to him.

jackie had anticipated as much. Faster than anyone could blink, he kicked hard once he saw the other party move the gun away. The pebble he kicked zipped through the air and shot into Quil’s hand that held onto the gun.

“Ahh!” Quil felt a wave of extreme pain as though he was hit by a bullet, and his grip on the gun loosened by reflex.

The aim shifted away from Fiona, but as the gun slipped from his hand, he accidentally pulled on the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot was heard. The bullet shot Brother Octo in his chest, right through his heart.

“Young Master…” Brother Octo’s head lowered ever so slowly to see the wound; blood was oozing like water. The man then fell backward as he breathed his last, and eventually, his breath left him permanently.

Everything happened so quickly, and in a split second the gun had fallen to the floor

“Aah!” Quil knelt in pain as his grip on Xena loosened.

Meanwhile, Fiona was met with the eyes of lifeless Brother Octo, who collapsed right next to her after the gunshot. Those void eyes, eyes that belonged to a dead man, made her faint.

The gunshot would have hit her; there was not much distance between the two after all.

“Aah!” Xena let out a hair-raising scream, scared witless at what was happening, and she ran to jackie.

“Quickly, run!” Not many bodyguards were left. With their confidence lost due to what had happened, they abandoned Young Master Xenos as they turned to escape.

Alas, jackie showed no mercy as he finished them off with just a few moves. Only Quil, who was still kneeling on the floor, was left alive.

jackie walked over, picked up the gun, and pointed it at Quil’s head with a small smirk.

Quil gritted his teeth as the pain slowly subsided. He looked up and discovered that none of his bodyguards were left alive while jackie had a gun to his head.

“How… How dare you? jackie, I’m telling you now: You better let go of me or you’re done!” Quil’s voice trembled, and it was as though his tongue was frozen. “You know it yourself that Sky City is very big,

twice the size of Eastfield. Apart from that, it’s one of the old cities where many masters and powerful people exist.” Quil had no other plan to get away from this apart from threatening jackie. He might just survive with this. “The Xenos family is one of the biggest families among them—”

Before he could finish speaking, jackie pulled the trigger callously.

No matter how audacious Xena was, she was not able to stomach the view of Quil shot in the head. She was so frightened that her eyes rolled to the back of her head and fainted.

jackie then looked at his surroundings, dumbfounded when he saw his mother-in-law and Xena fainted on the ground. ‘Why did these two faint?’

Chapter 576 jackie was speechless when he saw the duo unconscious on the ground.

He glanced at Xena, and the intent to kill was evident in his eyes. This woman would only bring problems for as long as she lived; now would be a good chance to end it all.

He quickly dismissed the thoughts.

His lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.

If he killed an unarmed and unconscious woman, how different would he be from Quil and others like that?

He was the Supreme Warrior, too. How could he take advantage of someone while they were defenseless? He would be the object of ridicule if others knew about that!

Moreover, the agreement between him and Ben would never be resolved if he killed her, and jackie might never know who operated behind Xena. Furthermore, Ben could spiral into severe depression should she die.

Ben loved and trusted Xena so much. What if Ben found it too much to cope with? What if he took his own life after Xena died?

The more he went over it, the more he came to terms that Xena had to live to see another day. Even if he wanted her dead, he had to wait for the day when Ben would see this woman’s true colors.

He could only sigh and say, “Nevermind.” Once he walked to both unconscious women, jackie slung them over his shoulders and walked to the edge of the fourth floor. He then jumped down but landed lightly and safely on the ground floor.

jackie walked outside without struggling nor breaking a sweat. Once he placed both women at the backseat, he started the engine of his car. He then entered the driver’s seat and proceeded to drive straight to the family villa.

Once he entered the compound, jackie recalled that he had something important to do. He instantly called Selena and informed her that everyone was safe and sound.

Just as jackie hung up, Andrew came his way. “Hey, didn’t they go shopping? What happened?” he worriedly asked as he was met with the sight of both passed-out women in the car.

“It’s okay. They just fainted because they were frightened. They’ll wake up soon!” jackie smiled bitterly. He never thought that they were both cowards and would faint due to the fright.

Fiona was the first to wake up; her eyes opened the moment jackie finished his sentence.

Once she noted that she was in a car and that she was already home, she relaxed. “Oh my goodness. Am… Am I at home?”

She looked at Xena, still unconscious by her side, and shook her. “Xena, are you alright? Why aren’t you moving?”

The tight smile was still on jackie’s face. “She fainted because of fright like you.”

The events that had happened rushed into Fiona’s mind at that instant, and she glared at jackie. “Everything happened because of you,” she icily accused him. “I nearly got shot back there, and I would’ve died. Thankfully, that person missed his shot. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have returned in one piece!”

Chapter 577 “What?! jackie, what actually happened?” When he heard what Fiona had to say, Andrew was staggered, thus he began to interrogate jackie.

Xena slowly regained consciousness and was just as unsettled as Fiona when she woke up. Still, she relaxed when she noted the familiar safe surroundings. “Oh my god, that was so scary! Did I faint? Are we back at home now? Where are those people?”

“Don’t worry, those people are dead,” jackie assured them. “When I said that I can save you both, it meant that I was confident to go through that promise!” jackie paused for a moment before he added, “Luckily, that marshal wasn’t very powerful. If not, it would have been difficult!”

“It’s all your fault. When did you offend people from Sky City? The Young Master Xenos said that they were from a big family in Sky City, and that city is really huge!” Fiona got down from the car, face evidently worried still. “What should we do if his family comes here looking for us?”

“Since they asked for a marshal to come fight me, it means that they’re unconfident and incapable. There’s no need to fret over this, everyone!” jackie laughed and continued saying, “How about this. Since we’re not short of money right now, let’s employ a few bodyguards. When Mother wants to go shopping in the future, have a few bodyguards by your side and it’ll be much safer. You won’t get kidnapped as easily again!”

“This sounds good! We should have employed a few bodyguards early on. Employ a few extra ones!” Xena finally came down from the car, pleased with the idea that she could bring bodyguards whenever she would leave the house in the future. She wondered how many anxious eyes she would attract.

“We’ll need a lot of money to employ bodyguards. One would take around ten to twenty thousand a month, and it’d be even more expensive if we employ a dozen bodyguards. Apart from that, we need to employ some workers to clean this place! Right now, we only have Jenny, and she has to send Kylie to school. Her alone wouldn’t be enough as this is such a big house!”

After he went through his thoughts, Fiona then spoke to jackie, “I don’t care, you should pay for this. Didn’t you say that you’re a head commander? You should have enough money still so you should pay the bodyguard’s salary!”

“Oh, don’t worry about this, Mother. I’ll cover all the expenses. You can keep the money that I’ve given to you!” jackie smiled and continued saying, “By the way, I didn’t foresee today’s incident beforehand, so I’m sorry that this has frightened you.”

“Hmph! Was it only a fright that you gave me? Xena and I almost died from fright! I don’t care; something like this shouldn’t happen again. If not, I’ll… I’ll ask Selena to divorce you…!” Fiona was so angry as she crossed her arms at her chest. “If the marshal truly was a competent soldier, Xena and I would’ve died there!”

“Mother, don’t worry. The Xenos family definitely wouldn’t come over to cause trouble again. They were asking for trouble when they pulled this stunt!” jackie nodded, and he silently agreed to a decision he made mentally.

Fiona began to relax, slowly yet surely, before she remembered something. “Oh no, I… I need to go back.” She slapped her thigh in contempt and was ready to leave. “Those people took my bracelets, cash, and watch. F*ck, I need to go get them back!”

jackie felt uneasy about his mother-in-law’s thought process. “Mother, that place must’ve been sealed off right now. Why do you want to go back? There are dead bodies all over that place. I’m afraid that you’ll faint again if you go there!”

Fiona was frightened when she heard this. jackie had a point. Would she not need to search for her money in the midst of those dead bodies? Would that be a bad omen? Would those people turn into ghosts and haunt her?

She gulped when she thought about this. She turned around and had a bitter expression on her face. “I’ve really lost a lot today!”

Chapter 578 After careful deliberation, jackie then suggested, “How about this: I will transfer over a million to the both of you. Take this money to help you get over the shock. How does this sound?” The amount was nothing he would fret over.

As long as Fiona stopped blaming him for today’s incident, everything would be fine.

As for Xena, jackie planned to act as though he had let go of their past incident and treat this woman as his family. This way, she might put down her guard and show her true colors. Today’s incident was his fault, after all.

jackie never bothered about Quil after he had killed Magnus. He thought that side characters like Quil would not dare wreak havoc due to fear after Magnus, the person he looked up to, had died.

jackie never anticipated this to backfire. Quil and the others did not know that it was him who killed Magnus, so they planned to wait for some time until everybody else forgot about Magnus’ rape attempt before attacking him.

He had to credit the other party; they were very smart. They had Magnus’ apprentice seeking vengeance and wanting to kill jackie.

Quil, unfortunately, took the wrong way to go about it. This man had planned to hurt Selena and Xena, and he even went as far as kidnapping Fiona as well. This only infuriated jackie.

Had they only asked Marshal Zain for this task instead of Quil, jackie might have let it slide. He might not need to look into it or investigate who ordered Zain to attack him.

“Sure! Thank you, Brother-in-law! That’s very kind of you… Thank you for today!” Xena almost jumped in excitement when she heard this. This was one million, and it was no meager amount.

Never did she think she would live to see the day when jackie would give her money. It seemed that jackie was at ease with her. After all, she had been discussing her marriage with Ben.

Was jackie just joking the other night at dinner when he wanted to look at her cell-phone? Might she have been too nervous, overthought it, and misunderstood him?

jackie smiled. “Give me your account, and I’ll transfer it to you right away. After all, you were kidnapped today because of me. We’ll be family someday, after all, once you marry Ben. If you ever need my help in the future, just tell me!”

“Brother-in-law, you’re so courteous. I’m sorry about what happened before as I—I’ve misunderstood you. Now that I think about it, you purposely said words that you ‘didn’t care about me’ and that I was an ‘outsider’ when Young Master Xenos pointed the gun at me so that he’d shift the aim to Mother. You found the opportunity to intercept as the gun shifted aim, am I right?” Xena laughed. She pouted her delicate mouth to act affectionately sweet. “Brother-in-law, it seems like you’ve really gone through a lot of trouble!”

“That’s what happened? Still, we’re lucky you’re much faster. Had you been slower, I would’ve been the one shot!” Fiona patted her chest and understood why jackie claimed that it was fine even if Xena was killed. This guy said this to purposely confuse the enemy.

jackie quickly transferred a million to them both. With a smile on his face, he advised, “Mother, it’s best if you guys don’t go out today. Though I think it’s safe, both of you were scared witless just now, so it’s best

if you rest well at home. I’ll go to the personal security company and employ some bodyguards. You guys can wait till the bodyguards come this afternoon or tomorrow before going shopping!”

“Of course! You’re my good son-in-law, and Mother listens to whatever you say. Thank you for today. If it wasn’t for you, Mother and Xena would’ve been hurt by those bastards!”

“Sigh! It’s so good to have a soldier as a son-in-law. Nothing’s too dangerous when my son-in-law could rescue me no matter what!” Fiona smiled when she saw the notification text that a million was transferred into her account. The fear of death seemed to have evaporated into thin air. Instead, it was replaced with the joy of earning a fortune.

“Thank you, Brother-in-law. What you said was right. We’ll officially be family in the future, and we should get along!” The overjoyed Xena gave jackie a wide grin the moment she got the money.

Chapter 579 Andrew nodded in agreement. “It’s great that nothing happened. What jackie said made sense, and we do need to employ some bodyguards and workers. Now that we’re rather wealthy, our house might be the target of thieves and others if we don’t have bodyguards!”

jackie nodded. “Yes, Mother. You should go inside and take a rest. Your clothes are also dirty, so it’s better that you take a bath and change into something else. I’ll go out now to employ some bodyguards!” After talking to Fiona, jackie then left the residence and drove to a private security company.

As there were many powerful forces, families, and rich men in Eastfield, so there were many private security companies.

jackie drove around before he stopped at a random area.

There were two private security families here. One had eye-catching interior design with a big yard while the other one seemed rather quaint and ordinary-looking jackie decided and, of course, walked toward the yard with beautiful interior design without second thoughts.

As he entered through the door, he was approached by a bald man that seemed to scrutinize him. “Are you here to interview as a bodyguard?” The bald man smiled coldly. “Queue there if you’re here for an interview!”

jackie looked over to where this man pointed and saw the queue of men that lined up to register.

“I’m not here to interview for a job. I’m here to employ some bodyguards,” jackie replied, an indifferent smile on his face as he met the man’s gaze.

“You? How’s that possible?” That person sized jackie up once again and smugly replied, “I’m looking at you, and you don’t seem to be a person who can employ bodyguards. After all, you’re dressed so simply.”

As he did not want to be bothered, he shifted the conversation. “Where’s your boss? I want to talk to your boss. A person who looks down at others like you isn’t qualified to waste my time here.”

“Motherf*cker. How dare you talk to me like this?!” The bald man glared at jackie angrily. “Do you know who I am? I’m in charge of the safety here and the instructor here,” he chided. “A lot of bodyguards that I’ve trained found good jobs. Some of them went to the Clark family, and some went to the Wilson family. These are second-class aristocratic families.”

jackie cackled at the man’s attempt to intimidate him. “This has nothing to do with me. I’m here to employ bodyguards!” jackie shrugged him off as he walked away and ignored the bald man.

“Do you have a death wish? How dare you say that I look down on others and ignore me?!” The man was extremely angry. People that came here to employ bodyguards were normally rich people, and they would also give him some extra benefits when they knew he was the instructor here. This was so that he would choose better bodyguards for them.

These rich people had money, but they lacked the knowledge and understanding in things like these. He never anticipated that jackie would fight back, despite wearing regular-looking clothes. With jackie’s back turned to him, the man stretched out his arms and aimed for jackie’s neck. With his palms shaped into a tiger claw-style of Kung Fu, he went for jackie’s neck.

Chapter 580 The bald man was extraordinarily fast. Of course, it was only natural that a person who specialized in training bodyguards possessed such uncommon ability. He felt that he had to teach jackie a lesson, especially after disrespecting him in such a deplorable manner. It did not help that they had many onlookers who saw jackie disrespecting him.

“Hmph!” came the sound of indignance as he aimed for jackie with his tiger claw-style palms.

The bald man never saw it coming: jackie merely sidestepped to the left and, just like that, avoided the man’s attack. The bald man was taken aback.

“Impossible!” The bald man was surprised as his eyes widened like saucers. He quickly had the impression that he must have had a miscalculation. It was practically an ambush, and a rather fast attack at that. How did he avoid it without even turning back?

Just as he was surprised about it, jackie walked two steps forward away from him with his hands behind his back. It was as if he did not see the bald man and his steps were leisure.

Two bodyguards stood at the other side of the room, personally trained by the bald man himself. Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw it happening. “How was that possible?” They had to be hallucinating. How could their instructor fail to catch a man who had his back turned to him?

The bald man’s face darkened when he heard the exclaim from his disciples. He took two steps forward to catch up to jackie. This time, he shaped both hands in a claw-like manner and aimed for jackie.

However, jackie sidestepped to the right when he swung his left palm, and jackie would sidestep to the left when the bald man swung his right hand.

Aghast, he decided to swing both hands onto jackie

Just as he was ready to rush forward, jackie suddenly fell backward.

Not only did the bald man miss, but jackie pulled an even better surprise attack by slamming his head against the bald man’s stomach!

One of jackie’s legs was planted on the ground—though bent to a certain degree—while the other was raised and stretched out straight. jackie spectacularly kept his balance, and it was as though he was just as balanced as the ground. This nifty move he pulled seemed utterly flawless, though not many people could do this.

There was a dull sound that followed after jackie slammed his head against the man’s stomach. The force of jackie’s attack sent the man staggering a few steps backward before he could stabilize himself.

“This can’t be. There’s no way you can stand against me!” The bald man saw red like never before. At that point, their scuffle attracted more onlookers, even from those who queued for the interview. Understandably, this made him feel diffident.

As he let out an enraged roar, he clasped his hands together into a huge fist like a large hammer and leaped into the air. He jumped a few meters high and dropped toward jackie, anger overwhelming his being.

“I suppose you haven’t had your fill, huh?” jackie was miffed with this man’s incessant attacks. If he was a no-nonsense kind of person while he was attacked, this bald man would have been a goner in just a few seconds. Had jackie been an assistant commander-equivalent, the man would have died still.

jackie was well aware that those who ran a personal security company were backed by people of great power. He was well aware that if he was killed, it would not be a big deal. jackie balled his fist tightly, and the energy he used this time was almost two times more than the energy he used previously.

Chapter 581 This time, jackie’s strength was too scary. His punch caused the other party to fly a dozen meters away, demolishing the walls of the yard’s entrance.

“Nngh!” The bald man vomited blood as he landed on the ground, his complexion pale.

“Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in our Harrison Private Security Company!” One after another, the people inside the office ran out after hearing all the noise.

“That’s right. Young man, you’re really daring. This is our private security company. Are you on a suicide mission? Coming here to cause trouble?” A few others also said this. Some of the apprentice bodyguards surrounded jackie.

“How is this possible? The bald instructor was hit…” One of the young men saw him standing up. His face darkened. It seemed that this young man was very strong.

The faces of some of the instructors also darkened. They finally looked at the old man.

“Head instructor, this guy wants to barge in and I can’t stop him!” the bald man said as he rubbed his chest and pointed at jackie.

“Grandfather, If I wanted to kill you just now, you wouldn’t have had the chance to stand up right now!” jackie said to everyone as he laughed and turned around. “I’m not here to cause trouble. I’m here to employ some bodyguards. I had no idea that you people would be so arrogant. I’m punishing him because he was ready to kill me when I merely commented on his attitude.”

At this moment, the old man finally spoke with a cold expression on his face, “Young man, do you think that the Harrison Private Security Company can allow you to come and go as you please? Do you think

our company can operate for so many years if we were so casual?”

“That’s right, young man. And now you’re trying to run away after hitting one of our people? Are you dreaming?” another man also said coldly.

“Young man, are you afraid when you see so many of us here? Is this why you want to leave? You even said that if you wanted to kill baldy, he would’ve died just now. Bah! Who are you trying to bluff? Did you think I grew up frightened by others?” a brawny guy said with a fierce expression.

“This is only one branch of the Harrison Private Security Company. Young man, you don’t know how big our company is, right?” The bald instructor started laughing coldly. “Now, kneel in front of me. Kowtow and apologize to me. I’ll forgive you if you compensate me with five million dollars. Do you understand me?”

“Tut, tut… I don’t think this is a private security company. Your company seems to be a con-company that bullies guests just because you have many people!” jackie looked at these people and continued speaking, “I’m here to help with your business, but you guys aren’t welcoming me, even flashing me with your arrogant faces. I wonder who gave you guys the courage to do so?”

People from the private security company across the street seemed to have heard the noises. Quite a number of them came over. They watched from the entrance, wondering what was happening inside.

“It seems that somebody is here to cause trouble?” a short-haired woman said when she saw a hole on the wall at the entrance.

Chapter 582 The people from the opposite company thought that somebody was here to cause trouble. After all, everyone from this Harrison Private Security Company was extremely arrogant.

Apart from that, this company had a strong background—they were quite rich. They were envious of the people in this company as they drove many cars. Even their yard was designed beautifully.

They never thought that somebody would dare cause any trouble for them.

However, these people understood once they heard what jackie said. It seemed that these people were too arrogant and had offended a customer.

There was a saying that customers were the kings. They did not think that this bald man would look down on this person, and even attack him. However, it seemed that he was counter-attacked by jackie.

“Old Baldy, is this person really a customer here?” the old man asked after he thought about it.

The bald man immediately said, “Head instructor, don’t listen to the bullshit this man says. He’s dressed so commonly. Does he look like a person who’d be here to employ bodyguards? And he was the one who spoke to me rudely!”

“the guilty party files the suit. How dare you act so arrogantly when you’re the one who had a bad attitude and attacked me from behind?! You must be suicidal!” jackie smiled coldly. They had no idea that he had just killed a few hundred people from the Xenos family, including a strong and powerful marshal. He did not expect to meet a similar situation when he came out searching for a few bodyguards.

“arrogant bastard. How dare you come here and hurt our people, even breaking our items, without any regrets?! You dare to speak arrogantly!” The head instructor started laughing. “Do you think we’re weaklings?”

He did not want to continue speaking much so he waved his hand and said, “Attack!”

Two instructors and a dozen bodyguards immediately surrounded jackie.

“I see you still want to use your strength to mistreat people!” jackie said with an indifferent smile when he saw so many people surrounding him.

“young man, are you afraid yet? Let me tell you this, it’s too late! We’ve already given you a chance. You could’ve left if you knelt, kowtowed, and apologized with a compensation of five million. Just admit you’re unlucky you didn’t agree to it!” The bald instructor stood outside, held his fists up in front of his chest, and was ready for a show.

“You guys are just prepared to rob people of their money!” jackie held up his fists, stopped talking, and rushed forwards. He suddenly turned upside down and spun.

Several bodyguards were kicked in their chests and flew outwards.

“Nngh!” They fell to the ground and spat out blood. They could not even stand up.

jackie used a huge amount of strength this time. Although it was not enough to kill them, it was enough to make them lose their ability to fight.

“F*ck!” Both instructors immediately moved in to attack jackie.

Pitifully, they received the same ending as those bodyguards. They fell to the ground, blood trailing from the corners of their mouths.

jackie stopped, flipped his body, and stood in his spot. He smiled at the bald guy. “Since you’re the instigator of this matter, and you were still so arrogant even when I’ve held back, let me send you to hell!”

“How dare you!” The old man was surprised when he heard this. jackie’s combat ability was already stronger than his. He immediately yelled.

However, jackie appeared in front of him as if he heard nothing and punched him in his chest.

Chapter 583 “So fast!” Not only were the people of the Harrison Private Security Company surprised, but the people from the company opposite were also extremely surprised. They had been observing the scene from the entrance.

They started to wonder if it was true that such a strong person came to employ bodyguards? Did someone like him even need a bodyguard?

“No!” The bald man was not ready to fight back. He only felt a daze and jackie was already in front of him. jackie’s punch soon fell on his chest.

The bald man yelled in fear and flew away. After hitting the wall once again, he laid there—dead.

“Old man, do you want to come over and have a taste of this?” jackie did not even look at the bald man. He turned around, looked at the old man, and squinted. “I’m here to give you money but you don’t want it. Now, you’re daring enough to be on a suicide mission!”

The old man gulped. He realized his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. He knew that this person’s true power was too scary. Even if people came from the headquarters, they would not be a worthy opponent.

“ jackie!” At this moment, Skyler squeezed through the crowd because he heard noises that sounded like a fight. He immediately called out in surprise when he saw the situation.

jackie slowly turned around and was embarrassed. He had no idea that it was the 8-star King of War Skyler Celestino who almost exposed his identity previously.

“It’s you!” Skyler felt warm when he saw jackie. He immediately walked in with a smile on his face.

“8-star…8-star King of War, Skyler Celestino!” As the head instructor of the Harrison Private Security Company, he knew many strong people in Eastfield. At the very least, he knew who he could offend and who he could not. He screamed in surprise when he recognized who Skyler was, his voice almost a falsetto.

“King of War, you—you know this young brother?” The head instructor gulped, bowed slightly, and walked towards Skyler, extremely respectful.

The other bodyguards were also surprised. They had no idea that the 8-star King of War would come over.

After all, he was an important person in the army.

jackie smiled coldly. When did it change from ‘young guy’ to ‘young brother’?

“Yes. This is jackie, a head commander!” Skyler nodded. He looked at the bodyguards and instructors wailing on the ground. He then saw the dead bald man. “ jackie, what happened here? Why was there a fight?”

“These people don’t know how to behave correctly. I originally…” jackie told Skyler what happened in detail.

Skyler nodded. “People like that deserve to die. Nice kill! He doesn’t even know he made a mistake. How dare he ask you to kneel? And apologize and pay them five million? I think your company doesn’t want to exist anymore, correct?”

“King of War, we made a mistake. It all happened because of this bald man. He spoke nonsense and we misunderstood this young man.” The head instructor was extremely frightened. He had no idea that this guy knew the King of War. They seemed to have a good relationship. No wonder he was so strong. This guy was a head commander.

“How about this, King of War? What if we provide this young sir twenty bodyguards for five years?” The head instructor asked tentatively after thinking about it.

Chapter 584 “How is this possible? This guy just killed someone and the Harrison Private Security Company not only let him off the hook, they even apologized to him? And proposing to provide him with so many free bodyguards for so many years?” Onlookers could not help but exclaim in surprise. “The Harrison Private Security Company has always been very high and mighty. Today, they’ve become so…”

“didn’t you see what happened? Obviously, the 8-star King of War would protect this head commander. Apart from that, it was the Harrison Private Security company’s mistake. If the 8-star King of War got angry, they wouldn’t have been able to escape his wrath!”

The short-haired bodyguard laughed and said, “Well, they’ve encountered some resistance this time, and this young man has just won a big prize. If he were to employ twenty bodyguards for a year, he would’ve had to spend five million dollars. The salary for a five-year employment would cost more than twenty million. The Harrison Private Security Company will suffer a big loss. They even just lost a strong instructor!”

As their competitors, they were happy to see the Harrison Private Security Company in such a bad situation.

“ jackie, how do you feel about this?” Skyler glanced at jackie, thinking he would agree to such a good offer.

The head instructor also looked at jackie, expectations written all over his face.

However, he did not anticipate that jackie would speak without much care. “It’s fine. I’d just feel insecure if I were to employ bodyguards from this company. Would they even completely obey me? They might become dawdlers by then!” He then stretched his body. “I think it’s better if I search for bodyguards elsewhere! Thank you for your help, King of War Celestino.”

jackie’s attitude toward Skyler was very casual. He seemed to communicate with Skyler like they were close friends, different from other people. Even Skyler felt that this young man was really special. His every move was no different from those of the Supreme Warrior.

Although all the head commanders were extremely respectful when they met him, he did not dislike this casual attitude from jackie. Not only did he like it, he felt comfortable about it. jackie seemed to be a

person who was at the same level as he was.

jackie walked out after he finished speaking.

“Thank…thank you, young brother!” The head instructor was also stunned. They took the initiative to provide him with such a good deal just to give the King of War face. They did not think that jackie would look down on their proposal. This was a deal worth millions, and it was rejected just like this. This person had an extraordinarily imposing manner.

Apart from that, this person had a King of War’s attitude. He was not very respectful to King of War Celestino.

Skyler stood there with a frown. He thought about it and followed after jackie.

“ jackie, wait for me!” Skyler caught up to jackie and smiled at him. “I don’t know why, but when I look at you, you look extremely similar to the Supreme Warrior I met previously!”

jackie was speechless. He looked toward a small alley on the opposite side of the road and said, “Come with me!”

Skyler followed behind jackie, wondering what was going on.

Chapter 585 After they reached the alley, jackie looked around to see if anyone followed them before speaking seriously. “In the future, stop mentioning how much I look like the Supreme Warrior. I just want a normal life and don’t want to be disturbed!”

After he finished speaking, he turned over his palm and presented a black-color token. The token looked domineering and there was a dragon totem on it.

jackie immediately kept the token away after Skyler took a look.

Skyler took a sharp breath after he saw the token. He immediately knelt. “King of War Skyler Celestino greets the Supreme Warrior and thanks you for saving me years ago. My apprentices, subordinates, and I intended to repay the Supreme Warrior, but we never got the chance all these years. I’ve been dreaming about meeting you, and now dreams have finally come true!”

Skyler’s eyes were red when he raised his head again. Years ago, jackie not only saved his life, but he also saved the lives of his subordinates and a few of his apprentices.

jackie was surprised, but he understood Skyler’s feelings. He helped Skyler up. “Why don’t you stand up first. If others see you doing this, I’ll get into trouble! In the future, don’t address me as the Supreme Warrior. You can just call me jackie!”

“Alright, I understand!” Skyler finally understood something and smiled in embarrassment. “I’m sorry about the other day. I was too stupid and almost exposed your identity. Luckily, the Goddess of War helped explain everything on your behalf. I really thought you looked like the Supreme Warrior, and over the last few days, I was actually wondering how two people could look so alike.”

“Okay!” jackie nodded. “Alright, I still need to employ some bodyguards so must go. Let’s have a drink together when we’re free!”

“Wait!” Skyler immediately rushed toward jackie when he had just taken two steps forward. “Supreme Warrior, why do you still need to search for bodyguards? I have many of them with me! Many of my apprentices and subordinates keep complaining that they have nothing to do. I can just ask them to be your bodyguards. Money wouldn’t be an issue as they’ve been wanting to repay you for so long. They’d be willing to do it without a cent if they knew they’d be working for you!”

jackie was speechless. However, if these people truly worked as his bodyguards, their combat ability would be quite reliable. On top of that, he would not need to employ as many people.

After seeing Skyler’s anticipation, jackie nodded after he thought about it. “Alright, ask them if they’d be willing to work for me. They can come over if they do. However, I can only pay each of them a moderate salary of two thousand per month if they work with me as people might wonder if my expenses are so high. The most important point for them to obey is that they have to keep my identity a secret!”

“Sure, sure, sure! I’ll go back and inform them right now! You’re too generous for even giving them a salary. After all, you saved our lives years ago!” Skyler was extremely happy when jackie agreed to his suggestion. He finally had a chance to repay jackie.

He could not help himself from smiling in embarrassment. “They’re not the only ones. I’d also like to be your bodyguard and repay you!”

jackie quickly waved his hand. “Don’t, are you trying to frighten me? You can come to my house and have drinks with me. Just say that you’re visiting your subordinates as an excuse. Wouldn’t it just reveal that I’m the Supreme Warrior if you become my bodyguard? You’re an important person, so you should use this time to rest well!”

“alright! I understand what you’re trying to say. In the future, I’ll address you as Head Commander jackie White in public!” Skyler laughed and sent jackie out. “I’ll go back and let them know about this. Will fifty people be enough?”

Chapter 586 What Skyler said caused jackie’s mouth to twitch at its corners. 50 bodyguards meant that the salary for one year would be around tens of millions.

He smiled bitterly and said, “We won’t need so many people as I’m not employing bodyguards for the entire Taylor family. I only need a few people to protect my small family—just a few who are good in martial arts—that’d be more than enough. My father and mother-in-law might not be used to it if there are too many of them!”

jackie thought about it before saying, “Ten. Ten would be enough!”

“Alright, ten it is!” Skyler nodded and promised jackie. “Iit’s been extremely boring recently. I loved going out on battles when we were on the battlefield. It was so thrilling to kill the enemy. Now that I’m back here, there’s nothing I can do. All I have is money, and I can only drink or enjoy entertainment activities with my subordinates. I’m so afraid I’ll meet some rich young masters whenever I leave the house. Once they recognize me, they’d come forward to try and please me by inviting me to their karaoke sessions or other activities. F*cking hell, it’s so annoying!”

jackie could not help but laugh when he heard what Skyler said. “I’m very afraid of these things. If people knew I’m the Supreme Warrior, it wouldn’t only be those rich young masters. All sorts of people—like most of the soldiers, some of the assistant commanders, even the head commanders—they would also come for me. That’d be extremely annoying! My current life is much more comfortable!”

“You’re really intelligent to have anticipated this from the start. I really admire you!” Skyler had an envious expression on his face. “A few days ago, several marriage agencies approached me, saying that they wanted to introduce some women to me. I’m f*cking married so I immediately rejected them, yet they still didn’t give up and wanted to find a second wife for me. They’re just normal people so it wouldn’t feel right if I hit them!”

jackie once again laughed when he heard this. “Just like that apprentice of mine, she seldom leaves the house!”

“Apprentice?” Skyler was stunned. Not many people knew that the Nine Great Gods of War were his apprentices, including Skyler. He only knew that jackie had nine subordinates as the Nine Great Gods of War had great military achievements.”

He was stunned for a short moment before he spoke in realization, “Do… Do you mean the Goddess of War? She… She was your apprentice?”

jackie was embarrassed. He had no idea that he would leak this secret in the middle of a happy conversation.

He spoke lightly when he saw that no outsiders were around. “Don’t tell the others, but all the Nine Great Gods of War were my apprentices. Ethan Hays learned his medical skills, among other things, from me.”

Skyler took another sharp breath. F*cking hell, he had no idea that the Supreme Warrior had such a close relationship with the Nine Great Gods of War. Very few people knew about this. How big would this issue be if the people of Daxia knew about this? The scary prestige of the Supreme Warrior would once again come alive. Many people that felt they had talent would ask jackie to be their master.

There was a time when people liked having apprentices. Many Kings of War, and even Gods of War, took on apprentices, but they’ve never heard news of the Supreme Warrior having apprentices of his own. Everybody could only wonder if he did.

Now, Skyler discovered that his apprentices were the Nine Great Gods of War!

jackie soon got into his car and was prepared to leave. However, he remembered something and said to Skyler, who was standing nearby, “Oh yes, King of War Celestino, are you bored right now? Do you want me to give you something to do?”

“Yes, I’m so bored! I’d be so thankful! Just tell me what you need my help for!” Skyler immediately laughed happily after he heard this. He felt that if he continued down this road of nothingness, he would be so bored that mushrooms would start growing on his body.

“The son of the Xenos family from the Sky City is called Quil Xenos. He recently provoked me by trying to kidnap my wife and my mother-in-law. I killed Quil and his subordinates, but I don’t have time to deal with the Xenos family. I can only ask you to help me deal with the Xenos family!”

Chapter 587 jackie thought about it and said, “They’re not a small family. I’m afraid that they’re fearless enough to trouble me again and affect my life!”

Skyler balled his hands into fists when he heard that. “F*ck, these ignorant people. How dare they think about kidnapping your wife! The Xenos family shouldn’t exist anymore!”

jackie nodded. “Don’t be too extreme. Just kill their martial artists and family master. The maids and other workers are innocent, so let them go!”

“Alright!” Skyler nodded. He thought about it and said, “But if this family is exterminated, what about their properties? They have so many!”

“Just sell them off for a low price. Try to get more cash. We can donate half of it to charity and share the other half equally. Just transfer it into my account!” jackie said after contemplating his decision for a bit.

“Alright, let’s do this!” Skyler said happily. “It’s been a long time since I’ve fought and I’ve been longing for it.”

Skyler soon left after they finished speaking. jackie also drove away to employ maids, chefs, and other cleaning workers.

Skyler was very happy when he left. He knew now that the son-in-law who married into the Taylor family was actually his benefactor, the Supreme Warrior, who he had been searching for over the last few years. Not only did he meet the Supreme Warrior, he even had a long conversation with him. This was the biggest honor in his life.

The most important point was that the Supreme Warrior asked for his help. This meant that he could finally do something for his benefactor. The more he thought about it, the more excited he got.

When he returned to his house, several of his disciples were chit-chatting in his yard. They were stunned when they saw Skyler’s happy expression.

“What’s going on? Did he just win five million from the lottery tickets he bought? Why’s he so happy?” A young woman among them could not help but mumble.

“How’s that possible? Five million is a small amount to our master, it’s nothing. Apart from that, our master is not a person who loves money!” Another man shook his head. “Could he have just met someone he liked, and that person likes him, too? If that’s not the case, I can’t think of anything else that’d make him so happy.”

“What nonsense are you guys speaking about? Am I old? I’m only forty-something years old!” Skyler glanced at them after he heard what they said. He then continued speaking, “Ask my subordinates and the marshals I know to come over. Hmmm, and it’s better if they’re women. Female bodyguards are easier to be ignored by others. That’d be better!”

“Female bodyguards?” The disciples looked puzzled. What was going on?

Chapter 588 “Go, go, go. It’s a good thing, so go quickly. You guys would be honored if you get the opportunity to be this bodyguard!” Skyler immediately said to his disciples, waving his hand.

“How’s that possible? Which family are we guarding? So awesome?” The female disciple smiled slightly, thinking that her master would not mess with her. She said, “Master, can I book a spot? Didn’t you say that it’s better if the bodyguards are women?”

Skyler agreed to it after he thought about it. “Hold on, it’s better if you don’t go first. Let’s find some female subordinates who have high combat skills. List ten people down, and it’s better if they’re female bodyguards. This way, it’d be very puzzling and it’d be much more convenient for them to accompany jackie’s wife during shopping and other things!”

“No way, they only want women? Don’t we get a chance?” A male disciple’s face darkened after he heard this. His master’s manner of expression seemed to be saying that this was a good matter, but it would not be his.

“Why haven’t you answered me? I’m your outstanding disciple, you need to take care of me!” The female disciple pouted her red lips. “I’m so free with nothing to do. Working as a bodyguard might be fun!”

“Junior, working as a bodyguard is not as simple as you think it is. When you’re free, you’d still need to patrol the grounds or do other things. Do you think it’s fun when the weather is so hot? I think it’d be better to hand over such a difficult job to me!” The male disciple immediately said with a laugh, seemingly frivolous.

“Humph, haven’t we encountered all sorts of environments when we were on the battlefield? Didn’t we encounter all sorts of weather? Senior, just be straightforward and say you’re trying to snatch this position. Frankly, I wouldn’t give you the position anyway since our master said it’s a good job. I’ll definitely strive for it!” the female disciple humphed and said arrogantly.

“Alright, I’ll give you a spot! We still need to think of another dozen good fighters. It’s fine as long as they’re women. Ladies first, gentlemen next!” Skyler nodded and said.

“Great! Master, don’t forget what you’ve promised me!” The female disciple was immediately thrilled. Soon, they managed to get a dozen people to come over to the yard. They were all female veterans.

These female veterans not only looked valiant, their figures and appearances were quite nice as well. Though they were wearing normal clothes and not their army uniforms, they exuded a special temperament when they stood there.

“King of War Celestino, did you call for me?” one of the girls asked, unaware of the situation.

“A friend of mine has asked me to help him find ten bodyguards. After thinking about it, I thought giving him female bodyguards would be better,” Skyler coughed twice before saying. “Elaine has taken up one of the positions, but I still need nine other people. I’ll choose among you, so who’s willing to work as a bodyguard? The salary is not high, only two thousand a month each, so some of you might look down on it. However, this is a great opportunity!” Skyler did not explain much, but he still gave them hints.

“Bodyguards!” Some of them were unwilling when they heard that this was a job as a normal bodyguard. On top of that, the salary was quite low. Some of them here were commanders. There were also marshals. After returning from the battlefield, the country gave them quite a big amount of rewards, so they did not feel that a job—that would only pay them two thousand a month—was all that important.

“I want to go!” one of the girls said as she raised her hand and stepped forward.

“Okay, come over and stand with Elaine!” Skyler nodded in satisfaction. “There are eight more positions!”

“How’s that possible, Miss Orchid’s going too? She’s a major and she’s willing to work for two thousand a month?” A lady frowned and wondered if she had made a mistake.

She looked at Orchid Yames and gritted her teeth. “Me, count me in!”

She believed that if Orchid was willing to do it, it might truly be a good thing.

Chapter 589 “Miss Orchid, why do you want to go?” she asked lightly as she walked over to Orchid’s side.

Orchid stretched her head over and said softly, “Elaine is the King of War’s disciple. If she asked for a position, it must be a good thing. I suspect that we’re going to work as the Goddess of War’s bodyguards. If that’s the case, it’d be more convenient if we were to stay by the Goddess of War’s side. If not, why would they ask for female bodyguards?”

The girl was happy after she heard this. That sounded about right. There was a big possibility that they’d be working for the Goddess of War if they asked for women. Apart from that, would King of War Celestino be so eager to help if it was not for the Goddess of War?

Other people started raising their hands when they saw that there were three people. Soon, all ten positions were taken.

“Alright, everybody else can go back. Thank you all for coming over!” Skyler asked the others to leave first.

After they had all left, he said to these ten girls, “Let’s go to my room and I’ll tell you all about the situation!”

Once they had all entered the room, Skyler closed the door behind him.

“Master, can you tell us who we’re working for now? You said it’s a good job!” Elaine immediately said with a smile.

“King of War Celestino, let me guess. Are we working for the Goddess of War? I’ve made this guess for a while now!” The female major named Orchid Yames could not help but start laughing.

“you’re quite good at making guesses!” Skyler laughed and said.

“That’s for sure. did I guess correctly?” Orchid started laughing.

“Yes, the direction is correct, but not quite. Why don’t you continue guessing?” Skyler told them.

“How’s that possible? It’s not the Goddess of War?” Orchid was slightly disappointed. However, she had already agreed to this job. She had no other choice but to follow through.

“If it’s not the Goddess of War, then who would it be? Not many people can get our King of War to help them!” Another woman frowned, unable to understand this.

“I told you guys to go up the path. Go up the path guys. Why can’t you all understand?” Skyler was speechless as his hints were so obvious. He did not expect that Orchid and the others would still struggle to understand.

“It’s not the Goddess of War, but we need to think higher? Could it be…” Orchid frowned and soon smiled bitterly. “Could it be the Supreme Warrior?”

“That’s right!” Skyler smiled indifferently. “The person who’s looking to hire bodyguards is the Supreme Warrior. The one and only strongest person in our Daxia army, the Supreme Warrior!”

The ten girls in front of him took sharp breaths of fright when they heard this. They had no idea that it was the Supreme Warrior who was looking for bodyguards.

Chapter 590 “Oh my god, it’s actually true? It’s the Supreme Warrior? He saved my life previously!” Elaine jumped up in excitement. “I’ve never seen him in person. I didn’t think I’d get to see the Supreme Warrior’s elegant demeanor with my very own eyes!”

“Yes! It’s the Supreme Warrior. Luckily, I decided to become one of the ten bodyguards. If not, I would’ve definitely regretted it. It’s such an honor to be able to become his bodyguard and service him!” Orchid’s eyes lit up with happiness. She was a female major and right now, she had turned into a fan. “I’d die willingly if I could stay by the Supreme Warrior’s side and see his true appearance!”

Another girl blushed. “It’d be even better if we could bathe and sleep with the Supreme Warrior!”

“What are you guys saying? You guys are there to work as bodyguards. I’m not asking you to be his maid and accompany him on his bed!” Skyler was speechless. He had no idea that these people would have such extreme reactions after learning that they were going to work as the Supreme Warrior’s bodyguards.

However, he thought about how excited he was when he discovered jackie was the Supreme Warrior, and that he was a King of War at a certain age. He also took some time before he managed to calm down himself which was not too long ago. It was normal for these twenty-something-year-old girls to be excited.

The Supreme Warrior was idolized by all soldiers. It had already reached a point where they blindly idolized him. How could the girls not be excited once they knew that they would be working as the Supreme Warrior’s bodyguards?

“Great! I wonder what the Supreme Warrior looks like. Is he handsome? Is he married? Who is he? Is he in Eastfield? Why didn’t we hear about this previously?”

“Oh my god, has he just reached this place? Why haven’t we heard about this? What’s his name? We only know that he’s the Supreme Warrior!” Another girl was so excited, she almost went crazy. She paced back and forth, occasionally jumping in excitement.

“Stop, stop! I’m not asking you people to go on dates. Why are you all so excited? You’re there to work as bodyguards! Bodyguards!” Skyler was speechless. He wondered if it was a good idea to let these women work as jackie’s bodyguards. Would it affect the Supreme Warrior’s normal life?

“Master, you’re the best! How do you know him? Oh my god, I’m going to be the Supreme Warrior’s bodyguard? Oh my god, I can boast about this for an entire lifetime!” the young girl, known as Elaine, yelled in excitement. The ten pretty women in front of him seemed to have gone crazy. These ladies may not be as pretty as Selena and the rest, but they were still quite pretty. It seemed to be a team of pretty ladies.

Apart from that, quite a few of them were commanders, with two of them being marshals. Such combat ability was incredibly scary.

The combat ability of his disciple, Elaine, was also quite high. Although she did not get the position of a commander or a marshal, her combat ability was true. She never liked those positions, so she gave it to the others. The army never gave it to her, too.

“Nevermind, you guys have too many questions. I’m giving you all ten minutes to be excited. I’ll answer the questions one by one once you’ve all accepted this matter and calmed down!” Skyler was speechless when he watched these excited young people. He sat in his chair and took a cigarette out. He started smoking.

The women were very excited, only managing to calm down after some time.

“Master, tell us quickly. Did he just arrive or has he always been in Eastfield?” Elaine asked in anticipation.

“He has always been in Eastfield!”

Chapter 591 “Anyway, only you need to know what happened today. Please keep it a secret. The Lord Supreme Warrior did not announce his identity earlier because he just wanted to live a life of peace,” said Skyler Celestino

A girl who wanted to sleep with the Lord Supreme Warrior raised her hand immediately and exclaimed, “Don’t worry at all, we hope Lord Supreme Warrior can live a peaceful life, free from worries. We’ll definitely keep it a secret!”

“Don’t get any ideas. Lord Supreme Warrior is married now. Even his children are not young anymore. This is the most important reason for wanting to live a peaceful life!” Skyler sighed lightly and turned to everyone. “He is now the son-in-law of the Taylor family!”

“ jackie White!” At that moment, Elaine understood it instantly. She had gone to Old Master Taylor’s birthday to join in on the fun. She went to the party alone and pretended not to know Skyler Celestino.

The truth was that she knew exactly what happened that day.

“Oh my god. It turns out that he really is the Supreme Warrior, and the God of War only said what he had said that day deliberately to help the Supreme Warrior conceal his identity!”

Elaine finally understood this, and she felt her heart well up with deep emotions. She said, “He’s the son- in-law of that family. Not to mention, he’s also really handsome. I never thought he’d actually be the Supreme Warrior!”

“We’re leaving this place in a moment. Just remember, you must all forget everything that happened just now. He’s your master, and you’re the bodyguards of his family!” said Skyler. He urged further, “I promised him to keep this a secret, so all of you must swear to take this to your grave. Additionally, the people you have to protect are his daughter, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his family members. The Supreme Warrior essentially does not need your protection. I cannot even begin to imagine his capabilities!”

“Yes, master. Don’t worry. We’ll keep this a secret!” Elaine excitedly remarked, “Oh yes, when will we go over?”

“Of course it would be better to be earlier. Heavens, being a bodyguard for the Supreme Warrior is too exciting. There’s truly no better job than this!”

“Why do you even need to pay wages? I don’t lack money, I don’t even need my wages!” Orchid said passionately, brimming with enthusiasm.

Skyler Celestino heard this and became speechless. “Since you’re all behaving like idiots, we definitely cannot go over right now. Wait until the afternoon. You’ll all need to prepare a change of clothes before

departing, amongst other things. As for your salary, I insist that you have it. The market price as of this moment is between one to two thousand a month. Unless you’re extremely capable, a salary of two thousand a month should suffice. Just take it!”

Elaine laughed instantly, “Yeah, Miss Orchid. If you don’t take your salary, it’d be even more suspicious, especially since you’re a Major who’s acting as a bodyguard to a man who, what more, seems to be dependent on his wife? We need to help him keep it a secret and not arouse suspicion!”

“Okay, fine. Then we’ll get home and pack up. Let’s meet at the outer gates at two in the afternoon and leave together. How about that?” said Orchid respectfully.

“Two in the afternoon? Wouldn’t that be a little too late? I can’t wait!” the girl from earlier who wanted to sleep with the Supreme Warrior passionately exclaimed, her eyes still star-studded and hopeful.

Chapter 592 At two in the afternoon, jackie arrived home.

Five to six maids, the cleaners, the cook, and four security guards from both shifts were already standing in the yard. There were at least a dozen of them.

After a round of introductions, jackie looked at Fiona and asked, “What now? Almost time, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct!” Fiona nodded satisfactorily. It was the first time she felt like a boss—she would be able to instruct servants in the future! She had not felt this way in more than five years.

“Oh, all you must listen to Jenny’s instructions in the future, alright?” After some thought, jackie said to the servants, “In the future, Jenny will let you know how much you should be paid, and she’ll also be instructing you to go to the market as well as other tasks.”

“Me?” Jenny was surprised at the flattery.

Fiona nodded. “Yes, you’ll be the head housekeeper. As for your salary, I’ll double it!” she said seriously.

“Yes, Master!” Jenny nodded, her heart filled with glee. She felt that she had made the right decision and followed the right master. “Thank you again, master!”

“Ah, you’re welcome!” jackie said happily.

“Hang on, jackie, you just hired a few security guards to watch the home. What about a bodyguard? The bodyguard is very important. Without a bodyguard, what would I do if I ran into some gangsters? What if they rob me of my belongings? I’m still thinking about my jade bracelet and all the money that I was robbed of. I still feel really uncomfortable!” Fiona remembered the past and said unhappily, “Is it because you found that bodyguard salaries are not cheap, so you’re reluctant to hire one?”

jackie felt ashamed and quickly explained, “Mother, please don’t worry, that’s not true. I’ll go find one today. I actually went to look for one today, but I found that the security companies are not that reliable. I’ve already asked someone to help find me a reliable bodyguard. They should send someone in the afternoon today or tomorrow!”

Fiona thought about jackie’s reply. “It’s good that you think that. Don’t hire too many people. There are only so many of us, and we won’t be going out often. Just about a dozen would do!”

Joan was indeed a little reluctant to spend the money. She turned to jackie and asserted, “ jackie, a penny saved is a penny earned. Based on my estimates, you don’t have that much money. Salaries take some time to be paid. If you get a dozen bodyguards, wouldn’t that cost you a fair bit of money?”

As soon as Fiona heard this, she became unhappy and her facial expressions sank. “Dear in-law, it’s already economical to hire just a dozen bodyguards. For this month, what would paying their salaries cost him? It’ll just be a few hundred thousand. This isn’t a big deal at all. jackie’s salary is already twenty million a month. Isn’t that sufficient? We’re the type of people who live in large villas. In the future, what

needs to be spent should be spent. Don’t let your judgment be constrained by the street sweeper’s salary you used to earn, alright?”

She turned to Joan. “You, look at you. You keep wearing the same few clothes that jackie bought you. Can’t you buy more? Change your outfit more often. In a single week, shouldn’t you have at least a set of clothes each day? With your disheveled look, I’ll feel too ashamed to introduce my rich friends to you!

Joan smiled awkwardly. “Dear in-law, you may feel this way. However, I still think we need to plan carefully. Furthermore, my son will only receive his first month’s salary in another two days. In the meantime, let’s spend wisely!”

jackie, observing the exchange, looked at his mother with a bad feeling in his heart. It was true that his mother never had any demands or requests. She was a woman who had grown accustomed to hard times and hence, made thriftiness her way of life. She had never asked him for money.

He thought, ‘What little money I’d given her before, she most likely hasn’t spent it all.’

However, as a son, he no longer lacked money. In fact, calling him wealthy would not even be an exaggeration.

Had he missed something here?

Chapter 593 After all, they were not living in those times anymore. His mother was getting older and she deserved to enjoy a good life. At the very least, she did not need to behave as frugally as she did before. “Mother, your in-law is right. You’re too frugal. Don’t hesitate to buy anything you want. We’re not living in the old times. Tell you what, I’ll be free this afternoon. Let me take you out for a ride and buy you some clothes, jewelry, anything!”

“My son, I don’t need those things. Now that I eat well, dress well, and live well, I’m already very satisfied!” Joan said hurriedly. To be able to see her son accomplish all that he has today had already made her feel satisfied. Just a few years ago, the only thing she ever dreamed and hoped for was for jackie to come home safely from the battlefield. Lucky for her, her dreams came true. Not only did he come home safely, he even managed to come home as a decorated and accomplished man. Fate had been kind to her and treated her well these past years.

“Mother, what are you saying? We’re no longer short of money, so we should buy you some clothes or something!” jackie insisted with a smile.

“That’s right, you should dress up more so that you can adapt to the life of the rich!” Fiona said happily.

“Okay, Jenny. Do guide the staff and prepare the accommodations,” jackie instructed Jenny after some thought.

“Yes, master!” Jenny nodded and left with the staff quickly.

Just as they left, ten young women drove up to the villa and stopped at the clearing next to it.

“Why are there so many women here?” Andrew looked at what was happening below and was stunned.

“Why are they all women, and why are all the cars so expensive?” Fiona looked at the cars and felt ashamed, thinking to herself that these women had come to the wrong place by accident.

“Do you guys see him? That’s the handsome young man we’re looking for!” Elaine laughingly said to her peers as she recognized jackie.

“Oh, so that’s him. He is indeed handsome! To be his bodyguard is really my fortune. Even if he’s married, he’s such an eye candy!” another girl exclaimed.

jackie waited for the party to walk up to him before asking them suspiciously, “And…you are?” In reality, though, he could already guess who they were.

“Hey! I’m Elaine!”

“I’m Orchid!”

“I’m…”

The ten girls stood in a row and introduced themselves one after another.

After the individual introductions, the ten of them chimed in unison, “We’re the Taylor family bodyguards!”

jackie felt embarrassed. He thought to himself, what the hell was Skyler doing? He asked for ten bodyguards, not ten female bodyguards, let alone ten beautiful female bodyguards—was this a beauty pageant or a group of bodyguards?

Chapter 594 “Bodyguards?” When Fiona heard this, her expression sank. She glared at jackie angrily, huffing and puffing. “ jackie, are you going for a beauty pageant? What kind of bodyguards are these? They all look like flowers and jewels, how can they be bodyguards?”

jackie was speechless. He did not know how to explain himself and could only smile bitterly. “Mother, I asked my friend to help me find a bodyguard. I didn’t express a preference for males or females, and I didn’t expect that he’d choose an all-female bodyguard squad for me!”

Upon hearing this, Elaine felt unjustified. Personally, she was afraid that jackie would get rid of them.

She gave it some thought and went forward to express her sentiments. “What’s wrong with women? You shouldn’t look down on women. We’re all female heroes who’ve brought glory to the country. If the country trusts us to defend her, what makes you think we can’t defend you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn’t resist stealing a glance at jackie. “If you weren’t so handsome, we wouldn’t have come!”

Elaine was not just referring to jackie’s natural good looks, she was also referring to his presence and aura.

Fiona got so angry when she heard Elaine’s little outburst. “Look here, their comments are all about how handsome you are. These women are just decorative vases!” She continued, “All of you, leave. We don’t need decorative vases in our home as bodyguards. What use is it to have all of you here? I don’t have a good impression of jackie’s friend. He must’ve known we’re rich so that’s why he recommended all these women to jackie!”

jackie was embarrassed to hear Fiona’s unsophisticated comments. He thought to himself, ‘How terrible it was of Fiona when Sharon George came. She didn’t make these comments just because she knew how rich her family was. Just because these women’s backgrounds are probably incomparable to Sharon George’s, how can she judge these women before getting to know their capabilities and kick them to the curb?’

When Elaine heard that she was about to be driven away, she was a little worried. It was already hard for them to get to this point, what more getting the opportunity to see the face of the Supreme Warrior. If she kicked to the curb, she would be so disappointed. To make matters worse, she would probably be ridiculed when she went back.

Stepping in swiftly, she quipped, “Who says we’re not good at what we do? If that was true, how can we even be bodyguards? How can we defend the national security of our beloved country?”

Orchid heard this and immediately stepped forward to hold Elaine back. She smiled at jackie and said diplomatically. “Master, the truth is, Skylar felt that it would be better to assign your family with female bodyguards to protect your entire family who are primarily females. Your wife, your mother, and your

mother-in-law are all women, so he only had their convenience in mind. For example, if we were to go shopping with them, it would attract much less attention than having male bodyguards!”

“Oh, is that the case?” jackie came to his senses. “Actually, it does sound workable!”

He turned to Fiona. “Mother, since they’re all here, let’s just carry on and let them be our bodyguards. The weather is really hot right now, it’s not nice letting them come all this way for nothing!”

Elaine immediately stepped forward. “Yes, yes, yes. Big sister, you look like a classy person. You don’t seem to be the petty type at all. You definitely wouldn’t be too calculative with us, am I right?

“You’re calling me ‘big sister’?”

Fiona heard this and suddenly felt really flattered and happy. She thought that her daily efforts of dolling herself up had paid off. Indeed, she felt that she did not look old. Additionally, if she was not considered beautiful, why would those lowlifes who kidnapped her that afternoon dare to violate her beauty?

The more she thought, she started to feel as if she had eaten a spoonful of the sweetest honey. She smiled and said, “Alright, since you little ladies do have some good insight, I won’t drive you away. I’ll give you all a chance!”

Elaine heard this and felt gleeful. She thought, ‘Ah, so this old auntie likes compliments about her youthfulness.’

At the same time, she said, “Really? Big sister, you’ll give us a chance? Do treat us little sisters nicely! We’re not here just because your son-in-law is handsome. We just heard that your family has money and that you can afford to pay us wages of two thousand a month each. We’re all very enticed by this offer, so that’s why we’re here! Plus, we also heard that Miss Selena from your family is the most beautiful girl in the entire province and that when her mother was young, she was also a great beauty herself!”

“Oho, really? Her mother is me!” At this point, Fiona was really happy. She laughed relaxedly, “Actually, you can call me auntie. Although I look young and tender, I’m really not that young!”

jackie observed the entire exchange and was dumbfounded. He thought, ‘How could this be possible?’

Chapter 595 jackie thought that the fact that these girls were driving such nice cars meant that they neither needed nor lacked money. He thought that it was odd that they were here just for a wage of two thousand a month.

As for his mother-in-law, he was rendered speechless by how she caved in just because a couple of twenty-something-year-olds called her ‘big sister’. In fact, it looked like Elaine was even younger than Selena.

“Alright, this is my first time seeing such a youthful auntie!” Elaine said cheekily.

“This girl is so sweet-mouthed. Since you’re our bodyguard now, I don’t want to unnecessarily complicate your life. Just show me what you’re capable of. For example, you can spar and show me if you can do a backflip. If I feel like your performance is okay, then stay!”

Fiona was so happy that she did not want to make life any harder for the young women.

Unexpectedly, Elaine said, “That’s way too simple. We should perform something that has a little more difficulty!” As soon as she finished her remark, she walked to the corner of a nearby wall, picked up a red brick, and asked Orchid to hold it up high in her hands.

“Don’t tell me you’re planning to split the bricks?” Fiona swallowed. She thought that if the ladies could do this, it would be really impressive. She knew that not many bodyguards would be able to do something like that.

“Ah!”

Elaine stepped forward lithely, using one hand as a knife, and slashed the brick with one arm. Sure enough, the brick split into two right down the middle. “Beautiful auntie, how’s that? By the way, I find all these acts way too easy for me! Now do you think I can protect you?”

Sure enough, that piece of brick was split in half. “Auntie Beauty, how about it? These are all trivial, but is it enough to protect you?”

“Yes, yes, you can. You silly girl, you look so delicate and tender. I didn’t expect you to be so amazing!” Fiona was already up in seventh heaven after being served so many compliments by Elaine. At this point, Elaine was already the apple of her eye.

“Auntie, do you want the nine of us to all split a brick for you?” Orchid looked around her, she could not even find that many bricks.

“No need! I believe you now. Looks like I really lucked out this time!”

Fiona waved her hand, looking at jackie, and laughingly said, “Your friend truly picked some capable bodyguards. Furthermore, these ladies can go shopping with us and even help us pick out clothes!”

jackie did not know if he should laugh or cry. He could not believe that just a while ago, she almost kicked these women to the curb, and now she had changed her mind so fast. ‘These women are just really strange creatures!’ he thought.

“Mother, didn’t you say earlier that women bodyguards aren’t good enough? They aren’t my pick!” jackie bitterly smiled and said to her on the side, “If you don’t like them, I can just ask for men!”

“No way, men will not be able to follow us on our shopping trips. That’s not convenient! I think these women are pretty good!” said Fiona sternly. She saw Jenny coming and immediately waved at her. “Jenny, the bodyguards are here. Take them with you and arrange their accommodation. They need to

have a good rest so I can take a few of them out shopping with me tomorrow, and they can protect my safety!”

Chapter 596 jackie looked at the outfits of some of the girls and felt a bit of a headache coming. He said, “Since you’re all our bodyguards, you’ll need to maintain your appearances and wear uniforms. I’m afraid clothes like short skirts are inappropriate.”

“Hey, kid, why are you so restrictive. Shouldn’t girls have their own personalities? I like the way they dress! All of them have beautiful, fair, and long legs. What’s wrong? It looks good that way!” Fiona butted in unexpectedly. She continued, “This way, others won’t be able to tell that they’re bodyguards. They’ll be like plain-clothed policemen. Isn’t this much better? I don’t fancy having a large group of uniformed bodyguards following me. It draws too much attention!”

Fortunately, Orchid stood up this moment and said, “Auntie, don’t worry. We’ve already discussed this while on the way here. We do think that we need to get uniforms so we look more proper. However, we also don’t need to wear formal clothes. We’ve already thought of what to wear! We can wear summer jeans, white sneakers, and a white shirt. We’re thinking of having the Taylor family emblem on our shirts. How does that sound?”

Fiona thought about it and said, “Oh, that sounds good. It’ll look good, and it’s also a way of letting others know that you’re bodyguards. At least people will think twice before stirring up trouble!” She continued with a sparkle in her eye, “We’ll reimburse you for the costs of the uniforms. Do remember to get more sets of the uniform as a backup for each of you!”

“Auntie, it isn’t too expensive. To be the Taylor family’s bodyguards is our honor. We can’t even begin to express our joy. So, just let us absorb this small cost!” said Elaine, her beautiful eyes brimming with intelligence.

“Oh! You see, this silly girl is so considerate. Alright, if that’s the case, you can bear the cost yourself!” said Fiona. “When I’m free, I’ll buy you all a meal. Next time, you don’t have to be too formal. When we’re alone together, you can be more casual.”

“Thank you, auntie. Auntie, you’re not only beautiful in looks, but your spirit is also beautiful, too!” chimed in another young woman.

“Oh, really? I never noticed!” Fiona laughed, her spirits were high.

jackie shook his head helplessly and said to Joan, “Mother, since we aren’t occupied now, let me take you out to buy a few sets of clothes. Let us get rid of the old clothes you had before!”

“Isn’t it a waste to throw out the clothes?” Joan smiled bitterly.

“Mother, don’t worry. We’ll never lack money again!” jackie also smiled bitterly and looked at her.

“Master! Let us call you master in the future!” Elaine appeared in front of jackie and asked, “Master, are you going out? We should follow you and protect you well!”

“Yes, yes, yes, master, we are now your bodyguards. If you want to leave home, we have the responsibility to protect you!”

The other nine women heard this and ran over, faces full of hope. Each of them wanted to go out shopping with jackie. Protecting jackie was just an excuse. The experience of going shopping with the Supreme Warrior was truly unparalleled.

“Wait, all of you have not even gotten your uniforms yet, so perhaps next time. Besides, whenever I leave the house, I don’t like having bodyguards with me—it feels too restrictive!”

Chapter 597 “Moreover, I’m still pretty capable. I don’t need bodyguards with me. Your main responsibilities are to

protect my daughter, wife, and parents-in-law. Other than myself, everyone in my family needs to be accompanied by one or two bodyguards!”

jackie gave some thought and continued, “I don’t need all of you to follow us. Just one or two will do. You don’t need to come together to shop for clothes.”

Elaine heard this and was suddenly depressed. She hung her head low and could not hold herself back from muttering.

“You all should rest at home. Since I’m your master, you all should listen to me!” jackie said, looking at Elaine with a neutral expression.

“Yes, master! We’ll obey your every command in the future!”

Elaine smiled. To have such a close conversation with the Supreme Warrior was enough for her for now.

“Let’s go, mother!” jackie quickly whisked Joan out for their shopping trip.

The ten beauties, each carrying their own luggage, were quickly escorted by Jenny to their residence. Once the living arrangements were made, Jenny left. As soon as Jenny left, the beautiful bodyguards gathered.

“Wow, Supreme Warrior looks even better the longer you look at him! I’ve never felt this way before. Previously, I thought he was just handsome. But now that I know that he’s the Supreme Warrior, he seems even more handsome to me!”

Elaine looked excited and cradled herself in her arms. “Although he rejected me earlier, just being so close to him and having a conversation with him—his indifferent smile, his charming voice—it’s all moving me so deeply.”

“Too bad, he’s already married. If he was single, we might still have hope.”

Orchid sighed and said, “As long as Supreme Warrior wishes it, I’ll do anything for him. I really wish to bear his child and be his woman! Life will be worth living being the woman behind him!”

“Yes, he’s married, but perhaps you can be his mistress? I know a warlord that just came home for a month and already got himself three wives. It can’t be helped. They’re way too charming!”

Another young woman said, “How can you even compare him to our Supreme Warrior!”

Orchid smiled forcefully, “Ah, let us just dream about this. It’s easier to climb to the heavens than to secure the love and affection of the Supreme Warrior. I heard that the George family daughter, Sharon George, is extremely beautiful. Furthermore, their family is so rich. Even she was rejected when she tried to pursue him. Do you ladies think we even have a chance?”

After hearing this, the entire group sighed together.

At this moment, in a different room, Xena had already taken a shower and changed into more comfortable clothes. She laid on her bed and could not resist muttering to herself, “Actually, Ben Taylor treats me quite well. He’s also not ugly, and jackie’s becoming richer. To have jackie as a brother-in-law would also be great as he can easily hand me a million dollars. I foresee that life like this can be really comfortable!”

She paused. Thinking deeper, she muttered again, “If I don’t want to be the wife of the Taylor family, or if Ivan Taylor is the second heir and has billions of properties, then marrying Ben Taylor is also a pretty good deal. It’s not bad, at least I’d be able to live a better life than many other women. It’s a pity their money is still too little. Humans will always strive higher, water will always flow lower. It’s simply the order of nature. Brother-in-law, please don’t blame me!”

After she was done muttering, she picked up the phone and made a call to Ivan Taylor.

Chapter 598 “My darling, why are you calling me? Do you miss me?” Ivan Taylor was on the other end of the line, teasing her.

“Of course, I missed you. I haven’t seen you in just a day but it feels like three autumns have passed. I’m afraid of being discovered by Ben. I have to make excuses every time just to secretly meet you!”

Xena flirted with Ivan and said, “Hey, Ivan, did you know I was really scared to death today? You could’ve never seen me ever again. Fiona and I were out for a stroll and we were suddenly kidnapped!”

“What!” Ivan was shocked to hear this. He probed, “What happened? Who was the culprit? Are you okay?”

Knowing that Ivan cared for her, Xena felt happy. She said, “Don’t worry, we’re both safe now. The important part of the story is that damn jackie. I don’t know what’s going on. He’s offended the young master of the Xenos family from Sky City…”

Xena quickly relayed the entire story to Ivan.

Ivan heard it and exclaimed with joy, “F*ck, this is great!”

Xena momentarily got angry. “What? How dare you say it’s a great thing? If it weren’t for jackie who rushed over in time and his mastery of martial arts, I’m afraid I would’ve been raped and killed if we only relied on the marshal that we were connected to! How dare you say it’s a great thing? Ivan Taylor, do you not love me? Are you just using me?”

Xena discovered at this moment that she did quite like Ivan Taylor. Even though Ivan was a sweet talker, he at least knew how to make people happy. Although she loved money, she was not a loose woman. She had already slept with Ivan Taylor so many times that she naturally wanted to marry him and become his woman—his enviable, precious lady of the house.

She did not expect Ivan to react this way to a scenario where she had been kidnapped and almost lost her life. She thought, ‘Damn this Ivan Taylor, how dare he say it’s a great thing.’

“No, that’s not what I meant, baby. Don’t be angry!” Ivan hurriedly comforted her and said, “I didn’t mean you. I meant it’s great news that jackie offended the Xenos family. Don’t you know that Sky City was huge back in the day? It’s probably twice the size of Eastfield. There are many forces there, and there are many masters, and there are a lot of veterans going back this time. The Xenos family is a relatively large force in Sky City!”

“You mean the Xenos family will take revenge on behalf of the Xenos young master?”

Xena frowned after thinking for a while.

On the other side of the phone, Ivan said, “Yes. jackie, this rascal, killed the young master of the Xenos family. It’d be surprising if he didn’t invite any trouble to himself. For such a large force, even if their clan or people aren’t good, they can use jackie’s own tactics to kill him off!”

“That makes sense!” Xena finally understood and nodded. She said, “However, I’m afraid the Xenos family aren’t aware that their young master died. Even if they did, how would they know it was jackie? What if the Xenos young master failed to tell his family about his hatred for jackie?”

Chapter 599 “Ah, are you crazy? Don’t you want to live anymore? You don’t need to wait for their people to come over. We’ll find them ourselves and let them know about this. Let them come over and kill jackie. Isn’t it a simple matter?”

The more Ivan thought about it, the more passionate he became.

“F*ck, this Xenos family is scarier than the Clark family, Wilson family, and the Hugo family combined. They’re a lot more powerful. The most important thing is that they have money. As long as they have

money, they can find masters who are able to execute the deal. jackie’s surely dead this time!”

“Hm, I wonder how jackie offended the Xenos family! Oh, I think I remember. In a battle, he said it was revenge for his master. His master’s King of War. Oh yes, it must be Magnus Sutherland. If jackie did not tell the God of War, Magnus Sutherland might not be dead…”

Xena started thinking of all the possible conclusions and started drawing her hypotheses.

“Xena, what are you thinking? How he offended them isn’t important. What’s important is that jackie’s really going to die this round!”

Ivan squeezed his fists. He was in a really good mood. He said, “When he dies, we must have a good celebration, and at that moment, I’ll announce that you’re my girlfriend and let the whole Taylor family know. It’s time to see if this useless Ben Taylor will be angered to death!”

“I’ll take your word for it. Once jackie dies, you have to announce our relationship. I don’t want to go on sneaking around like this!”

As Xena laid in bed, her figure appeared even more attractive. She said, “Oh yeah, this rascal jackie has already told us that we’ll be celebrating Selena’s birthday. Looks like he might not even make it until then!”

“Doesn’t matter if he can’t make it. We need to spread this news out as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I’ll make sure everyone knows it, from the Taylor family relatives to the best of the best—God of War. That will be the best!”

Ivan laughed gleefully, “And when jackie’s dead, on Selena’s birthday, I’m afraid she’ll collapse. Once she does, how will she put up a fight with me for the Taylor family assets? At that point in time, Young Master Clark will be taking advantage of the situation and try to comfort her!”

“That makes sense!” Xena nodded and said, “If that’s the case, should we still let him drink the medicine we used before? It looks like we won’t need to anymore, right?

Ivan Taylor fell silent. After a pause, he said, “You still have to feed it to him. To be safe, the sooner the better. After all, this rascal isn’t weak in combat. In case the Xenos family underestimates how good he is on the battlefield, or if he escapes the ambush, it wouldn’t be so easy to find him again!”

At this point, Ivan paused and said again, “If he takes the medicine, his body will get weaker by the day. His strength will be greatly reduced. When the Xenos family attacks him, it’d make it so much easier to kill him. This is a two-pronged approach to take his wretched life!”

“Mm, if that’s the case, I’ll think of a way to get them out for a picnic and an open-air barbeque!” Xena offered.

“Mm, as to how you’re going to get it done, you can think about it yourself. It’d be best if you can act on it from tomorrow onwards. The timing would be perfect because it takes exactly a month for the medicine to work, and by then, it’ll coincide perfectly with Selena’s birthday!”

Xena nodded in agreement. The two of them chatted for a while longer before ending the call.

Chapter 600 At this very moment, jackie was at the shopping mall and had purchased many clothes for Joan. They also bought additional gold jewelry, gold earrings, and jade bangles. After a makeover, Joan’s natural gentle elegance began to shine.

“Not bad, not bad. Let’s get this necklace, too. Just swipe the credit card!”

jackie nodded satisfactorily and called for the receipts immediately.

“Stop buying things, you’ve been spending too much money. Son, a penny earned is a penny saved. You don’t have that much cash on hand with you. You and Selena are both still young, there will be many

areas where you’ll need to spend. Kylie’s still young, and you may have more children. There’ll be more and more expenses. Plus, you’ve just hired so many staff at home…so many bodyguards. All of this will cost a large sum of money…”

Old habits die hard for Joan, and she still felt the pinch when jackie spent money. Today was a day where he had spent way too much on her.

“Mother, don’t worry. I don’t lack money!”

jackie took their purchases and followed Joan out. “Okay, I’ll stop shopping. Let’s go home. Mother, even if I wanted to buy the whole Drake family, it wouldn’t be a problem. Do you still think I lack money?”

Although jackie didn’t want to go into too much detail about how much money he had, he needed to say something that would make his worried mother feel at ease.

When Joan heard that, she took a deep breath and asked with a tremble in her voice, “That can’t be. Son, are you really that rich? Is this for real? Don’t lie to me.”

jackie laughed. Holding his mother’s shoulders, he said, “Mother, please, stop worrying. I’m just giving you a sense or an estimation so you’ll feel at ease. Please, rest assured, your son is truly amazing. In the future, don’t hold back. Just spend the money however you wish. You don’t need to treat yourself like you did before. I’m your only close relative. I just want you to live a good life. That would make me feel at ease!”

jackie paused and said, “I don’t wish to tell anyone this. Firstly, I just want to live a peaceful life and I don’t want to draw attention to myself. After all, the tree attracts the wind. Secondly, you’ve seen what my mother-in-law is like. If she knew how rich I was, the whole world would know about it in two days!”

After listening to jackie’s words, Joan nodded with satisfaction and said, “My son has really grown up and become an accomplished man. He’s even become more calm and steady. A man who knows the value

of restraint will be able to accomplish even greater things. My son, good job, you’re my pride!”

“Mother, please, stop complimenting me. When I was on the battlefield, there were so many times I almost died, especially last year. It truly was an extreme danger! However, I kept thinking of you and Selena waiting for me at home. That was the reason why no challenge could hold me back, and I overcame it all!” said jackie, laughing with gratitude.

“Mm!” Joan nodded and said, “ jackie, Selena is a great girl. You must treasure her. There have been so many rich young men trying to get close to her in recent years, trying to find a way to her heart. Faced with so many temptations, she was faithful and rejected them all. This type of girl is not easy to find!”

“Mother, please, don’t worry. I already told you that we’ll be hosting a grand banquet for her birthday!” said jackie.

…

The sky was getting darker. That night, the Xenos family of Sky City could no longer sit still.

“Master, what should we do? Is the young master still uncontactable?”

Next to the head of the Xenos family, an old man frowned slightly, worry lines appearing on his face.

Drag Xenos nodded and said, “I haven’t been able to reach him since yesterday afternoon. I’ve asked the staff, all the bodyguards that went out with him are also uncontactable!”

At this point, his expression grew darker. He choked slightly and said, “I suspect that something has happened to them.”

“No way!”

As the others heard this, they became frightened.
