No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

chapter 951-1000

Chapter 951 The old-aged doctor was startled at the amount. “Sir, how can I address you? I know you’re a good man,but 30 thousand is too much!”

“Oh, not at all, not at all! I’ll need to trouble you to look after the store today! And my name is jackieWhite!”

jackie chuckled and then looked at his lovely wife who was standing beside him. “I’ll leave with my wifefirst.” He then added.

“Alright, Mr. White. I’m Terrance Chaffry, just call me Terry.”

Terrance chortled warmly and sent the two off at the entrance.

“ jackie, I know you’re trying to help, but you’re too generous, don’t you think so?”

When they got out from the apothecary and on their way back home, Selena could not hold back buttease jackie. “You’re too generous that you scare the old doctor!”

“It’s okay. Terry and his family don’t seem to be doing well. And it’s obviously not easy to survive inSwallow City. After all, to own a house in Swallow City is challenging for ordinary people and it’s indeedburdensome. Terry is a kind man; he works just to lessen the burden on his son’s shoulders.”

The corners of jackie’s mouth faintly curled upward. “Sigh! Parents will always worry about theirchildren!” jackie whispered with emotions.

“You’re right. We’re not lacking any money anyway, at the same time, we can help people! Besides, oncewe make a name for your medical skills here, I believe that all those rich people will come to us and bythat time we’ll earn back all the losses!”

Selena smiled at jackie. jackie could definitely be called a genius doctor with his outstanding medicalskills. And with such skill, jackie could make as much money as he wanted, unless he had no desire todo so.

The couple soon went back to their home. At this time, Caleb arrived at his home as well but with asevere nosebleed.

Initially, Caleb thought that with the aid from Peace, getting Selena would be a piece of cake. However,little did he expect to get bruises on his face in the end; he did not even get to touch a single strand ofSelena’s hair!

Never mind the bruises, now that he finally gets to rest on his bed in a luxurious villa he bought forhimself, he was worried sick about what would happen next.

He knew his second uncle’s character very well. He was a three-star king of war. How could he acceptthe fact that he was beaten up badly and had his finger cut off; he certainly would not let that matter go.

His second uncle—Hunter Moore—was someone with little fame. He was friends with several kings ofwar who were more powerful than he was. The last time he met his uncle in the backyard, he wasdrinking with a five-star king of war!

What if his second uncle brought a few elite fighters to where jackie and Selena live and killed the twobeauties—Selena and Lana, then he would not be able to taste the two beauties anymore! Caleb wasfeeling unfair that he was beaten up twice but did not even have the chance to touch those women once.

“No, no, no. I have to go find my second uncle tomorrow. But I’ll rest up a bit today!”

Caleb mumbled to himself after thinking about the matter. Then he took a few painkillers to ease his painso that he could rest up and heal faster.

Perhaps, it was because he had failed twice in a row and he was uncontented.

Moreover, he knew very well in his heart that based on Young Master Chaffman’s temperament, hewould definitely not let the matter go. After all, the Chaffman family was a prominent family and has quitea few elite fighters.

…

At this time, Hunter and five other kings of war were drinking and chatting in a hotel bar.

These five kings of war, in addition to the two kings of war that were with him that day, there were threeother kings of war—two four-star kings of war and a five-star king of war!

“Sir Moore, what happened to your hand?”

One of the kings of war noticed Hunter’s missing finger and asked in surprise.

“I met a female fighter, and I don’t know if she has five-star or four-star combat prowess. She is quitestrong, and I could not defeat her!”

Hunter bellowed angrily, with his fists and teeth both gritted tightly.

Chapter 952 “Are you f*cking kidding me? Sir Moore, you’re not her opponent?”

A four-star king of war had a surprised look plastered on his face. “There’re many elite fighters here inthe Swallow City, but Sir Moore is not some commoner that anyone could just defeat! What’s more, theother party is a woman! How can it be?”

Hunter bobbed his head in agreement. “I didn’t expect that the other party would be this powerful. Theother day, they humiliated my nephew, compelling him to kneel under the hot sun for a long time. Theybeat him and his bodyguards up too! So I went over in hope to help my nephew out, but I seriously didn’texpect that woman to be this strong and to defeat me in the end!”

After hearing this new piece of information, three kings of war exchanged glances to convey certainmessages between them. They were not stupid at all; they knew and understood Hunter’s and hisnephew’s characters inside out. Hence they naturally knew who was at fault.

After analyzing the situation, the three assumed that the nephew was probably head over heels for theother party’s beauty and wanted to own her which lead to such an incident.

Moreover, Hunter was very protective of his nephew. Everyone knew that. Just that the thought of Huntergetting defeated and have one finger chopped off did not cross their minds. Hunter had actually gone tothem for help this time!

“Sir Moore, you’re the only one who has fought with the other party, so you naturally know how goodtheir combat power is!”

The five-star king of war chimed in with a rhetorical question. He gave a faint smile.

“Hmmm, I guess the woman should be on par with a four-star king of war! But it doesn’t matter whethershe is comparable to a four-star or a five-star, if we all join forces and attack them together, it shouldn’tbe any problem!”

Hunter nodded and raised his arm with a glass of beer in his hand. “My dear brothers, as you know, I,Hunter Moore, rarely ask favors from others. But this time, it seriously affected my pride and ego as aking of war! So you guys must give me a hand!”

“Don’t worry. We’re brothers and we have fought together on the battlefield. So we’ll definitely help you!”

For the sake of reputation and image, the five-star king of war was somewhat forced to nod his head andagree to Hunter’s favor.

Since a five-star king of war had promised to avenge Hunter, the other two four-star king of war naturallyhad their tongue-tied but proceeded to smile and nod to show agreement. After all, what Hunter said was

true, he rarely asked for favors from others. For a prideful king of war to open his mouth and beg forhelp, it was not easy.

The group soon bottomed up couples of beers.

“Alright. I’ll treat everyone to a karaoke night! Also, I’ve sent my men to scout where the other party lives.Tomorrow at nine o’clock sharp, we’ll gather together at the Dragon Phoenix Skyscraper, then go over totheir house and end them!”

Hunter shot up from his chair and yelled his lungs out, with his fist clenched tightly.

“Yes!”

All kings of war stood up and echoed with Hunter. They possessed a strong aura that nobody else wouldbe able to emit.

The next morning, Caleb woke up and found that his soreness and wounds had recovered quite a bit. Hethen immediately brought a few bodyguards and drove to his second uncle’s house.

Soon, he arrived at his second uncle’s villa.

“Mr. Wallace, is my uncle inside?”

Caleb quickly approached Mr.Wallace—who was the butler of Hunter’s residence—and inquired abouthis uncle’s whereabouts with a smile on his face.

“Umm. He’s already gone out; I think about ten or twenty minutes ago!”

“I think he went out with a few kings of war, to somewhere I’m not too sure. Oh right! Yesterday he metwith the kings of war and had a few drinks together!” Mr. Wallace added as he recalled.

“Oh sh*t!”

Caleb cursed and slapped his thighs right after hearing the news. He woke up slightly later than usualthis morning, it must be due to his injuries.

He did not expect his uncle to act so fast that he had sought help from other kings of war and wentstraight to find jackie and Selena.

He initially thought that he could rest up a bit and come over this morning to inform Hunter that jackiehad offended the Chaffman family, and perhaps they could wait patiently for the Chaffmans to make amove. When shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game; they could be the wolf that benefits fromthe situation.

At least, this way, he would have the chance to taste those two beauties.

After all, he knew Young Master Chaffman’s character well. If Peace wanted to kill the women, he wouldhave had fun nights with them before killing them!

On the other hand, according to his second uncle’s temperament, he would not care about fun nights norfooling around. They would go straight for the other parties’ heads; after all, they were people whothought they were righteous and just. It was impossible for them to do such dirty deeds.

Therefore, if the second uncle and the kings of war were to behead the other party, then he would losethe chance to…

Chapter 953 “Dammit! I was too late! Few minutes late!”

Caleb let out a defeated sigh and he was rendered speechless.

“Young Master Quinton, what do you mean by you’re too late?”

Mr. Wallace was confused at Caleb’s utterance, not comprehending what Caleb meant by that.

“It has nothing to do with you!” Caleb cast Mr. Wallace a glare and blurted.

After the last syllable of his word dropped, Caleb got into his car and was ready to drive to jackie’sresidence to witness the other party’s fallen bodies.

This time his second uncle was not alone; he brought several kings of war with him. These combinedforces were nothing but splendidly formidable and frightening. Hence, Caleb was convinced that todaywould be the other party’s last day on this earth.

A total of six kings of war gathered in front of jackie’s residence a few minutes ago.

“Isn’t this area new? And these villas as well?”

One of the kings of war furrowed while trying to peep into the enclosed villas.

“That’s right. But I didn’t know that there is a person who is as strong as a four-star king of war livinghere!”

Another king of war chimed in and gave his two cents.

The group stood before the entrance of jackie’s residence, however, they were stopped by twobodyguards at the entrance.

“Gentlemen, may I know your purpose here?”

One of the bodyguards stepped forward and inquired about the group’s identities.

These bodyguards followed King of War Skyler Celestino to the Swallow City. They were his disciplesand each of them was competent and has strong combat prowess.

“We don’t want to kill innocent people! You can either move aside and let us in or hand over three ofthem to us! A woman wearing a mask, a man and another beautiful woman! The man is called jackie and

the beautiful woman is called Selena!”

King of War—Hunter Moore—raised his head slightly as he commanded in a cold and disdain voice.

“Hand them over?”

A few vertical lines formed between the bodyguard’s brows. It was obvious that this group of six was nothere for a friendly matter. “May I know what’s the purpose of you meeting our master?” One of thebodyguards asked.

“Humph! What’s the purpose? Of course, it’s to grant them their death wish!”

Hunter snorted coldly and spitted his thoughts. “Hand them over to us now! All of us here are kings ofwar, you two are certainly not our opponents and we don’t want to kill weaklings! Their lives are what wecame for!”

The bodyguard who blocked their way into the residence had a confused look on. “Sir, if you want to killthe three of them, I’m afraid that it’s an impossible task. Or at least you should first defeat our captain ofbodyguards!”

“The captain of bodyguards? Get him here then! Then I’ll see if he can defeat all of us!”

Hunter leered frostily.

“Alright, I’ll get him over!”

One of them quickly ran off into the area.

At this time, Skyler was enjoying his tea leisurely in the courtyard. However, he was not used to relaxing;he felt odd having so much free time recently, and eventually, he got bored.

At that very moment, his disciple ran to him, articulated huffingly. “Master, there’re a few people whocalled themselves kings of war, yelling to kill Master and Mistress White and Goddess of War!”

“What a joke!”

Skyler hollered, then he stood up from his chair, cracking his fingers. “Let’s go and meet them!”

Chapter 954 “Master, there’s six of them and I can recognize one of them, but the other five, I have no idea who theyare! If you go out and fight them, wouldn’t this be a bad idea?”

The bodyguard cast a wan smile and doubted Skyler’s decision.

“You know one of them? Hmmm. Then do I know them?”

Skyler listened attentively to his disciple and questioned with a frown.

“Oh, you definitely know this person! He used to be your subordinate. But he certainly doesn’t know me!”

The bodyguard then continued with a mixture of feelings. “It’s Sir Miles Stone, you do remember, don’tyou? He was not only your subordinate, you’ve even saved his life before!”

“Ah! It’s him!”

As soon as Skyler heard of the name, he was excited and could not wait to meet this good old friend.

However, after striding for a few steps, he stopped. He suddenly remembered that the other party wasnot here to hang out but to look for trouble. If he were to go out like this, the other party would beembarrassed in front of the other kings of war.

After giving some thought to the matter, he asked his disciple again, “The one who yelled for jackie’shead was not him, right? Miles is a nice and kind-hearted guy, he’d never offend jackie, Selena, and

Lana. It’s ridiculous!”

“The one who yelled was not him; it’s a guy with a missing finger. Probably this person was beaten up bythe Goddess of War before, and that’s why he went to Sir Stone for help!”

The bodyguard breathed out a wan smile. He was certainly confused about the whole situation, after all,he and the other disciples were only here as bodyguards because they followed Master Skyler.

Skyler was a dignified and honorable man with a high social position. He was a real eight-star king of warand his combat prowess was said to be on par with some of the nine-star kings of war!

No one would ever believe that such a strong person would be willing to follow jackie and serve as hisbodyguard.

The disciples knew that jackie was the personal doctor of the Nine Great Gods of War. However, sincejackie was only a doctor; the bodyguard did not think that Master Skyler should behave submissivelytoward jackie.

Only when they arrived and settled down in Swallow City that Master Skyler revealed the shocking newsto them—that jackie was not at all the personal doctor of the Nine Great Gods of War, but he was theSupreme Warrior, who was also the master of Nine Great Gods of War!

Besides, jackie’s attainments in medical skills and knowledge were way beyond Ethan Hays’; that Ethanwould never be on par with jackie in the medical area.

Nevertheless, Master Skyler had made them keep this a secret. Unless the Supreme Warrior revealedhis identity himself, otherwise, nobody should say anything about his identity.

Therefore, when the bodyguard watched the king of war screaming and yelling to kill jackie, he felt funnyand at the same time, pathetic for the other party. To seek trouble with jackie, would not this be digging agrave for oneself?

If they had pissed off the Supreme Warrior, with a single swing of jackie’s arm, all of them would be lyingon the ground, lifeless.

“Hmmm. If I were to go out and teach them a lesson, Miles would lose his image and reputation. He’d beembarrassed beyond measure. How about this, you bring him in.”

Skyler leisurely plopped his butt onto the seat again after he analyzed the situation thoroughly andwaited casually in the courtyard, enjoying good tea.

“Where’s your so-called captain of bodyguards? Where is he?”

Hunter cursed loudly after seeing that the bodyguard came out alone, without anyone next to him. Hunterfelt a flicker of irritation.

The bodyguard smiled and then only bowed before the group of kings of war. “Our Captain said that hewanted to meet Sir Stone in private, and he believed that after Sir Stone has met him, Sir Stone willchange his mind!”

“He’s only a captain of bodyguards, why would Sir Stone change his mind because of him! What a joke!”

A one-star king of war—who was close to Hunter—clasped his hand in front of his chest and sneeredsarcastically.

“That’s right, who does he think he is? Tell him to get out here himself. Don’t tell me he’s a pussy and isafraid of us, that’s why he is hiding inside like a scaredy-cat?

Another four-star king of war echoed and laughed. It was ridiculous at the same time funny in his point ofview.

Chapter 955 For whoever who possessed combat power comparable to a king of war was certainly not going to

volunteer to be a bodyguard. So the other party was obviously pretending to be a king of war, but inreality, he was probably afraid, at the same time, did not want to admit weakness due to his image. Thus,he had asked Miles Stone to go in, so that he could pay Miles off and Miles would let him off the hook.

“I’m a five-star king of war, and you’re making me go in to meet him? Are you sure?”

Miles snorted frostily, his face was releasing an aura of resentment.

“Hurry up and ask your Captain to come out, or else I’ll end your life here!”

Hunter got a little impatient. He stepped forward, choked the bodyguard, and lifted him up high in mid-air.

Hunter thought that the bodyguard would wet his pants out of fear. Nonetheless, the other party did noteven show a hint of fear, but rather he shot Hunter a deadly stare. “If you want to kill, then kill. Do youthink I’m afraid of death? But I need to tell you that, if you kill me right here, all of you will regret it later,and all of you will have to compensate me with your lives!”

“Hunter, don’t kill him!”

The boldness of the bodyguard suddenly woke Miles up, perhaps, it was not that simple.

After ordering Hunter not to kill the bodyguard, Miles said to the bodyguard, “Lead me to your Captain. Ifhe is just a useless prawn, I’ll kill him on the spot. I hate it when people lie to me!”

Only then did Hunter put the bodyguard down.

“Let’s go in!”

The bodyguard cast another fierce glare at Hunter, then only he brought Miles into the residential area.

After a few minutes, Miles and the bodyguard arrived at the courtyard, under a big tree. They met with aman who was enjoying the breeze and drinking tea there. He was about 40 or 50 years old.

When Hunter could finally see the other party clearly, he instantly recognized him. Miles sucked in abreath of shock and stumbled a few steps forward. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly to clear his vision asthough the scene before him was blurry. “Oh my freaking God, Sir Celestino, is that you? It’s you, right?Why are you here?”

Skyler looked at the other party and commanded with a strong aura, “Come, sit down and talk. Tell me,what brings you here? And why did you want to find fault with our Master?”

“No way! Sir Celestino, you’re an eight-star king of war! Why are you here? Why have you become thecaptain of bodyguards? Am I seeing this correctly? Aren’t you supposed to be in Eastfield right now?”

Miles sat down beside Skyler. Shock and confusion clouded his thoughts. Not only did Skyler become abodyguard, but he called the person behind him, his Master. Did that mean the person behind him waseven more powerful than Skyler? Or was he some sort of high-status person? Otherwise, how could it bepossible for an eight-star king of war like Skyler to call this person Master?

“you don’t have to squeeze your brain juice thinking about this. We arrived a few days ago, and we planto go around the city for some sightseeing and fun. Did I explain myself clearly?”

Skyler laughed out loud and then added, “So…what now? Do you still want to proceed with your plan tokill my master? Our Master’s position and identity is not something you could ever imagine nor you couldever offend. If you want to take his life, first you’ll have to possess the ability to kill me first!”

“Oh, no, no, no! Brother Skyler, how could I ever be stronger than you? Besides, I was your subordinateand you even saved my life before! How could I possibly have the guts to fight you? I wouldn’t dare lay afinger on you! You’re my savior, I could never fight you!”

Miles was in a complete state of panic. He waved both his head and hand to strengthen his statements.

“no more fighting or killing my Master then?”

Skyler chortled at Miles’s gesture and asked.

“No more fighting, no more killing your Master! I came here today because Hunter and I are pretty close,that’s why I thought of helping him out. In fact, that nephew of his is not a dignified man in the first place.We all know that!”

Miles waved his hands again and then added, “I’ll go out in a moment and ask them to leave.”

“Good then. It looks like I don’t have to do anything!”

Skyler gave a warm smile and stretched his back. “Actually, it’s been a long time since I last fought. I’mreally not used to it anymore. Look, my hands are shaking because I’ve not been fighting!”

Chapter 956 “Don’t, please don’t, Sir Celestino! Your hands must not shake, if they do, we’ll be in trouble!”

Miles did not know whether to cry or laugh at the situation. Then he was suddenly overwhelmed withemotion. “Sir, I really didn’t expect to see you here. Okay! It’s set now, I’ll come here again tomorrow!”

“You’re coming here again tomorrow?”

Skyler smiled faintly.

Miles burst out in laughter. “I’ll come over to visit you tomorrow. Let’s have some drinks and talk. Icouldn’t do it today, because there are a few people waiting for me outside!”

“I see. But you can’t leave right now! I’ve poured you a cup of tea, you have to at least finish it before youleave!”

Miles was one of his close subordinates. They have both experienced life and death moments on thebattlefield. Hence, Skyler was in a good mood after meeting Miles.

“Alright then!”

Miles chatted with Skyler for a while, then bottomed up the tea in front of him, only then did he walktoward the gate by himself.

“Why isn’t Sir Stone back yet?”

Hunter and the others who were waiting outside were growing more and more impatient. Miles had beeninside for almost ten minutes, which made the others feel strange.

“It can’t be that something happened, right?”

The four-star king of war guessed with his brows ceasing together.

“This is bad! They know we’re here and the toughest opponent is Sir Stone. So, they’ve requested him togo inside alone to siege and assassinate him! They have the number; they might be able to kill him! Inthis case, our overall strength is weakened and we might be in trouble!” The other four-star king of warchimed in.

Hunter’s face turned unsightly at the analysis. If Sir Stone was killed, their overall combat power wouldbe weakened instantly.

“Let’s go! Let’s go inside and help Sir Stone. We can’t let them weaken our force! Motherf*cker! They’recunning foxes!”

The one-star king of war waved his hand and yelled. But, inwardly he was frightened to death.

At this time, a figure resembling Miles slowly appeared within their sight. The corners of Miles’s mouthcurled upward as he walked toward the group.

“He’s here! Sir Stone is here!”

Everyone let out a huge sigh of relief when they learned that Miles was safe and sound. After all, he wasthe only five-star king of war here, and the only one who could possibly defeat the woman with the mask—who was said to have the combat power of a five-star king of war. Therefore, Miles played a vital rolein the group; if it were not for him, the remaining kings of war would not come along today!

“Sir Stone, what took you so long? Why did the so-called captain call you over? Don’t tell me he’s tryingto pay you some money to cease fire?”

Hunter was so impatient that he instantly went up to Miles and questioned him.

“How is it possible? Sir Stone is not someone who lacks money. How much would the other party pay SirStone in order to cease fire?”

One of the four-star kings of war sneered sarcastically at Hunter’s guess.

“Guys, leave the place with me, now!” Miles looked at everyone and then commanded.

Miles then brought the rest to a corner outside the villa and said to them with a gloomy and dull tone. “SirMoore, I think it’s better for us to let this matter go. Let’s stop here!”

“Miles Stone, what do you mean by ‘stop here’? We all agreed to this plan before, didn’t we? How couldyou change your mind after going in? Aren’t you a coward?”

Hunter’s face darkened—he was extremely upset at Miles’s suggestion. He could not imagine why Milesrefused to help him after seeing the so-called Captain.

Chapter 957 “Umm. The mysterious person inside is not someone we can afford to offend. If we go according to theplan, it’s equivalent to digging graves for ourselves!”

Miles chuckled, loosening up the tensed atmosphere. “Do you know who the captain of bodyguards is?He’s an eight-star king of war, Skyer Celestino! My former boss on the battlefield, moreover he’d savedmy life before! If we were to fight against him, we’d die within a few minutes!”

“What the f*ck? An eight-star king of war?”

One of the four-star kings of war was bewildered at the news. He was so frightened that he held hisbreath until he almost passed out. “Sir Stone, this is not a joke, right? The eight-star king of war, SkylerCelestino, is actually in there, serving as the captain of bodyguards?” The four-star king of war couldbarely squeeze out a few words.

“Impossible! How is that possible?”

Hunter had his face turned unsightly. If that was the case, his plan for revenge had to be flushed downinto the drain.

Unless…unless he knew any nine-star king of war, or a God of…

“Why would I lie to you guys?”

Miles shot Hunter an impatient glare then added, “Well, Sir Moore, let’s head back. Now you understandwhy we can’t afford to offend the people in there. Skyler is an eight-star king of war, and he is willing toserve this person behind as a bodyguard. This means that the identity of this person is not that simple,do you understand?”

Hunter nodded his head. Although his heart was upset about losing his finger and his plan was in vain,he was somewhat thankful for Miles.

Fortunately, he and the others did not go ahead with the plan and charged into the residence. Otherwise,they would not be able to come out alive.

“My apologies for troubling you guys. Let’s find a nice place and have a cup of tea. Then we’ll have lunchtogether at noon, couples of wines, and just laze around!”

Hunter poured out his thoughts and quickly left the residential area with the rest.

Not long after Hunter and the group left the scene, an opulent sports car arrived and parked not too faraway from jackie’s house.

Caleb Quinton was inside the sportscar. He looked at the bodyguards at the gate from afar; he could nothelp but frown. If the vicious fight had started, it was impossible for these bodyguards to stay alive,standing there like nothing happened.

“Strange, hmmm. Could it be that the second uncle and the others have yet to arrive?”

Caleb’s brows knitted and his heart was filled with doubts and questions.

He wandered around the entrance for a while, trying to peep into the residence. There were no signs ofany intense and ferocious fighting. Caleb breathed out a huge sigh of relief; he could finally rest up a bit.

It looked like his second uncle has yet to come over with the others to look for trouble. Perhaps tomorrowor the day after tomorrow.

Suddenly, a loud ring came out from Caleb’s pocket—his cell phone was ringing.

Caleb’s mood brightened once he saw the name on his phone, and he immediately answered the call. Itwas Peace Chaffman.

“Damn, Young Master Quinton, where the heck does the man and the woman live? The bodyguards thatI brought along yesterday were not strong at all. Besides, you’ve said that your second uncle is a three-star king of war and he can’t even defeat the woman with a mask, right?”

The thick voice of Young Master Chaffman came out from the phone as soon as Caleb answered thecall. “Humph! This time I’ve asked for two professional fighters; both are six-star kings of war! The manand the woman would not stand a chance against them, and this includes the woman in the mask! I’llsurely capture her alive!”

“You’re not kidding, right? That’s amazing!”

Such great news bloomed the hope inside Caleb. As long as his second uncle and the others had notgone to revenge, he still had a chance to taste the two beauties.

The thought of spending wonderful nights with the beauties made Caleb’s adam’s apple jump. “YoungMaster Chaffman, you didn’t forget our deal, did you?”

Chapter 958 “don’t worry, Young Master Quinton. Of course, I remember our deal!”

Over the phone, Peace’s voice rang out again, “But we can’t go along with our original plan!”

Caleb’s expression darkened when he heard that. Was that man going to change his mind so quickly?

Still, he was well aware that he could not do anything even if Peace abruptly changed his plans. After all,the Chaffman family was too strong. He would not have gone to them in the first place otherwise.

“there was only one woman before, that’s why we agreed upon taking turns. But it’s different now—thereare two women. I’ve thought about it already. Give me the beautiful lady from yesterday, and you canhave that woman in the mask. How about that?”

Peace quickly replied the next second, chuckling.

When he heard this, Caleb’s heart leaped in delight. Peace had probably never seen the woman in themask before, so he assumed that she would not match the demure beauty from yesterday in terms of

looks.

In reality, the woman in the mask was just as attractive as the woman from yesterday.

“All right then. You’d better keep your word, Young Master Chaffman. No regrets!”

Caleb immediately agrees to the proposition and instantly emphasized the point in fear that the otherman would retract his statement.

“Of course! Quickly send me the location. We won’t need many men this time. These two fighters shouldbe enough!”

Young Master Chaffman grinned confidently. After all, aside from a second-class aristocratic family likethe Chaffman family, not just anyone could hire two fighters who were as good as six or seven-star Kingsof War.

Soon enough, Caleb shared his location.

Two cars quickly drove over and parked not too far away from him.

Caleb got down from his car when he saw Peace arriving. Then he helped the rotund man open the cardoor in a fit of excitement.

“So it’s here. Seems like these people aren’t too shabby. This villa is worth quite a sum!”

Young Master Chaffman could not help but exclaimed as he studied the villa before him.

“Let’s go. Clear the way!”

Young Master Chaffman waved a hand and walked straight in with his men.

Two hulking men flanked his sides. They were the few of the stronger fighters among the Chaffmanfamily’s bodyguards.

Meanwhile, although the other bodyguards before them were not as skilled, they were good fightersnonetheless.

“What are you doing?”

The two bodyguards guarding the entrance stepped forward and asked as they saw a band of peopleapproaching them.

“Hmph. What are we doing? We’re here to see someone!”

A few of the Chaffman family’s bodyguards attacked straightaway.

The Chaffman family’s bodyguards were in a scuffle with the two bodyguards at the entrance. No oneexpected that the larger group would be no match for the two, and they were all seriously injured.

The two bodyguards also took a few blows, but they were not as gravely injured as their opponents.

“F*ck. These bodyguards are pretty strong!”

The man on Peace’s left took two steps forward after observing the situation. He clenched both fists andrushed toward the two men before him.

The man was huge, but he moved at a blinding speed. Before the two bodyguards knew it, he wasalready before them.

The two bodyguards were shocked when they saw this. They realized that the man before them was afar stronger fighter than the rabble from before.

Chapter 959 They clenched their teeth and threw all of their strength into fighting him.

A loud noise resounded. The huge man stood rooted in his spot, unmoving, yet the two bodyguards havebeen sent flying backward.

The two clinched their arms. The arms they had used to attack had broken bones now.

“Not bad. But you unwittingly walked into a death trap by running into these two fighters of mine!”

Peace gave a cold smile, radiating an arrogant aura.

“Kill–kill them!”

Caleb cried out from the side. He had been beaten twice, and now he could finally see retribution fallingupon his enemy.

“Die!”

The huge man’s lips curled into a frosty smile. He pulled out a sword from behind his back.

He swung the sword ferociously. A thin, pressurized air blade suddenly flew straight toward the twobodyguards on the ground.

Whoosh!

Yet another air blade sliced forward just as the two bodyguards were about to be killed, stopping thehuge man’s air blade.

“Who?”

The huge man, Caleb, and the others looked toward the original direction of the air blade.

“Who are you?”

Skyler was absolutely livid. He had just managed to chase Miles and his men off just moments ago, andhe never thought that another group of fighters would come around less than half an hour later.

Furthermore, these fighters were very skilled.

Skyler immediately suspected that these people had been hired by Miles. After all, Miles did not lash outto save his reputation just now, and that was the only reason why he had managed to walk away alive.After he left, he probably hired people that no one would recognize.

Still, he quickly shook his head and dismissed the notion.

After all, the fighters here were far stronger than Miles. They were not as skilled as eight or nine-starKings of War. If Miles had been behind this, he would be sending them to their graves.

“What’s going on? Young Master Chaffman, there are more fighters in there. And it seems like this one isalmost as strong as I am!”

The huge man was taken aback at the sight of his attack being blocked so easily.

Judging from the other man’s pressurized wind blade, it seemed that it was more solid—more powerfulthan his own air blade.

“Young Master Quinton, why are there more fighters here? Didn’t you say that the masked woman wasthe strongest of them all?”

Peace gulped, just as shocked as everyone was.

“I–I didn’t know that there was a fighter like this here!”

Caleb was speechless too. “But you have more men than him, Young Master Chaffman,” he said. “Itshouldn’t be a problem!”

“Young Master Quinton and Young Master Chaffman?”

Skyler flashed a cold smile as he heard their conversation. “Who cares what young masters you are?You dared to barge your way in here and injure my disciples. Both of you will die right here!”

Chapter 960 “What a mouth you have. Listen here, bud, I’m Peace Chaffman, a young master of a second-classaristocratic family. Are you kidding me? You dare to offend the Chaffman family?”

Peace immediately burst into laughter when he heard that. “Besides, I don’t believe that you have theability to defeat the two fighters I have here!”

“A second-class aristocratic family?”

Even Skyler was stunned by his words.

After all, jackie and the others had just arrived here. Furthermore, jackie had declared that he had othermatters to attend to. He did not wish to cause trouble here in Swallow city.

If he truly killed this young master from a second-class aristocratic family, he would be blowing the issueup. The master of the Chaffman family and their other fighters would definitely attempt to avenge theiryoung master.

He did not fear the Chaffman family, but they most certainly had plenty of men. If he destroyed the entireChaffman family, jackie, Selena, and the others would soon be attracting the attention of other powerfulfamilies.

When he thought about it, Skyler felt that he should refrain from killing Young Master Chaffman andYoung Master Quinton for now. Besides, jackie and Lana were not here. What if they blamed him forbeing too hasty if he killed them?

“Never mind. Don’t kill the two young masters, but get the rest. Let’s teach them a good lesson. We can’tlet them walk off without letting them see some blood being shed!”

Skyler quickly decided.

When Peace had seen Skyler contemplating, he had thought that the other man was truly afraid.

He gave a cold smile. “What now? You’re scared because you know that I’m a young master of asecond-class aristocratic family, eh? Since you’re so scared, just bring the two beautiful women andjackie here. Otherwise, you’ll be meeting your end here!”

Caleb seemed to have thought of something, and he said to Skyler, “It looks like you’re a pretty goodfighter. Just step aside or bring your master out—you don’t have to fight for him any longer. I’ll pay you abillion dollars per year and make you an elder in the Quinton family!”

“Hmph. I don’t care for it!”

Skyler could not be bothered to talk anymore. He immediately lunged forward and attacked the twostrong men before him.

“Whoosh!”

Pressurized air blades quickly clashed, creating terrible slashing noises.

Fiona and the others heard it and rushed out of the villa.

“What’s going on? Why is there a fight?”

Fiona was shocked when she saw the scene unfolding before her from a distance, her face went white.She was anxious.

“Hey! Why are they fighting? Don’t tell me jackie provoked someone again?”

Andrew spoke in an exasperated tone, “What a reckless man. He’s so stubborn and he always causestrouble. I really suspect that he’s stirred up another storm. Why would people come looking for usotherwise? We haven’t even spent two days here!”

“Don’t jump to conclusions. They’re not here now either. Perhaps it’s because of Selena’s beauty. Lookat that fatty there—one glance tells me that he’s up to no good!”

Old Man Taylor defended jackie.

While they talked, the fight grew fiercer. The two bodyguards from the Chaffman family, who were almostas strong as six-star kings of war, were quickly downed, blood pooling over their bodies.

“No–no way.”

Peace and Caleb exchanged a glance when they saw the two fighters on the ground. Horror crept intotheir gazes.

“I’m telling you, these are powerful fighters from the Chaffman family…”

Peace immediately tried to threaten Skyler when it looked like the latter was about to kill them.

Unfortunately, he did not get a chance to finish his sentence when Skyler raised his sword and brought itdown. The two powerful fighters were killed just like that.

With a few flashes of Skyler’s hands, the rest of the bodyguards fell down one by one, each of them withterror froze onto their expressions.

Chapter 961 “Don’t–don’t kill us!”

Caleb’s legs immediately crumpled beneath him when he realized that only he and Peace were left; hedropped onto his knees.

“Please, let me go this once. I’m a young master of a second-class aristocratic family. I won’t dare to dosomething like this again!”

Peace had never seen a scenario like this before. His feet went cold, and he was so terrified that he wethis pants. Just like Caleb, his knees turned into jelly and he plopped onto the ground.

At that moment, Skyler was absolutely terrifying to them. He had killed without batting an eyelash. Theyhad never seen such a terrifying scene before.

“You injured two of my disciples. I killed all these men as punishment, so we’ll call it even. Get out of mysight!”

Skyler cast a cold glare at the two men who were on the ground. “I won’t let you off so easily if you dareto show your face here again!”

“Don’t worry. We’ll never come here again!”

Caleb wiped away the cold sweat filming over his forehead. Then he pushed himself to stand upright.

“We’ll never do it again!”

Peace tried to stand up, but stumbled, and almost fell onto the ground. Caleb managed to help him up,then the two ambled out of the gates.

“Trash!”

Skyler spoke in an unsympathetic tone as he watched the two fellows, who had been scared out of theirwits.

“Mr. Celestino, what happened? Why did these men come looking for us?”

After Andrew stepped forward, he asked in a polite manner.

“I’m not too sure myself. Seems like they wanted us to hand Master jackie, Miss Selena, and Lana over!”

Skyler flashed a bitter smile. “That fatty was a young master from a second-class aristocratic family. I hadhoped that he would not pursue the matter any further, since I didn’t know if I should kill him withoutjackie’s direct orders. I was afraid that the issue would blow out of proportion!”

“A second-class aristocratic family. That’s trouble!”

Old Man Taylor could not help but sighed after he heard that.

“What happened to the two of them? Their hands are swollen!”

Fiona looked at the two bodyguards on the ground. She did not know what to do.

“Don’t worry. I’ll give jackie a call. He has a miracle medicine with him right now. Their arms are broken,but they’ll be as good as new in two or three days once they take jackie’s medicine!”

Skyler smiled at everyone. Then he turned toward the rest of the bodyguards. “Take whatever valuablesyou can find from their bodies, then get rid of them,” he said. “Just take them to the outskirts of the cityand burn them!”

At that moment, jackie, Selena, and Lana were in their newly opened pharmacy.

They have changed the signboard of the pharmacy. It now reads ‘Amity Apothecary’.

Besides, jackie had sought out two female Chinese medicine practitioners to assist the old Chinesedoctor.

The two were pretty skilled doctors. They would probably be able to treat regular diseases even if he wasnot around. Along with the old Chinese doctor, they could run the show perfectly fine.

“Your monthly wages will come up to 20 thousand dollars. I assume that amount isn’t a problem?”

jackie said, looking at the two before him.

“20 thousand!”

The two exchanged a glance, shocked. They had thought that 10 thousand was a pretty good salaryalready. They never thought that they would be paid this much over here. Their boss was too generous.

Chapter 962 “What’s wrong? Is it too little?”

jackie’s lips curled into a bitter smile as he spoke to the two young women before him.

“No, no. It’s more than enough. I never thought that we’d be paid so much!”

The two quickly waved their hands and replied.

At this moment, an old man was seen at the entrance. He was shabbily dressed, and he seemed like abeggar. He scanned the interior of the pharmacy, hesitation in his eyes.

jackie looked at the old man, sensing that he was in a pickle. He stepped forward and asked, “Are youlooking for something, sir?”

The old man furrowed his brows. He remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking, “Youngman, Chi–chinese medicine is a lot cheaper than Western medicine, right?”

jackie suddenly understood everything. The old man wanted treatment, but he was probably worried thathe did not have enough money to foot the medical bills.

He gave a wan smile. “That’s right. Chinese medicine is a lot cheaper than going to big hospitals. But notmany people seek our treatment, simply because there aren’t many who believe in our treatment.”

Here, jackie carefully studied the old man. “But you seem pretty healthy, sir. You’re not ill, are you?”

The old man took out a plastic bag from his pocket, his expression embarrassed. He slowly opened thebag, revealing a few dozen notes inside.

After he looked at jackie, he dropped onto his knees. “I–I’m not sick, young man, but my granddaughteris. She’s in so much pain that she can’t walk now. I–I only have this much money. Can you please takeall of this to cure my granddaughter? I’m begging you!”

jackie’s chest tightened after he heard that. “Where is she now? What are her symptoms?”

“She’s underneath a bridge that’s not too far away from here. She has some problems with her waist.She probably twisted a muscle. We were picking up trash a few days before, and it was too heavy. Sheinsisted on carrying it all by herself…”

The old man thought about it, then he told jackie, “I don’t know what to do anymore. We can’t go to aregular hospital!”

jackie considered the situation before flashing a smile. “It’s probably a dislocated bone in the thigh. It’snot a problem. Keep your money. I’ll come along with you to see her!”

“All right. I’ll bring you there. But you must keep this money. It’s only right to give you a consultation fee,at least.”

The old man hauled himself onto his feet. With a relieved expression, he stubbornly shoved the moneyinto jackie’s hand.

jackie never expected the old man, a beggar who is so advanced in age, would still have such strongprinciples. He could not help but admire the old man.

“no need. We just opened this pharmacy, sir. You’re our very first customer, so let’s call this an openingdiscount, eh? You don’t have to pay me. Let’s go. Take me to see her!”

jackie laughed.

After he said that, he turned toward the old Chinese doctor, Terrence Chaffry. “All right, we’re going offfirst. Just keep watch here, Dr. Chaffry. Call me if you run into any uncertain or incurable diseases. If youmeet any terminally ill patients who are rich, tell them that I can cure them. But their bill will probablycome up to a few hundred million or a billion dollars. Depending on their condition.”

“All right. Got it!”

Terrence nodded his head, smiling. He could tell that jackie was somewhat of a modern Robin Hood. Hewould treat the rich who came to see him, and if they were suffering from a serious disease, he wouldcharge them exorbitant fees. Meanwhile, he would not charge the poor much, even if they were sufferingfrom regular diseases. For example, he decided to help the old man today for free.

Soon enough, the old man brought jackie, Selena, and Lana to a nearby bridge, where they stoppedbelow an arch.

“Ah!”

A young woman could be seen lying below the bridge. She wanted to move, but pain suddenly lancedthroughout her body—so furious that it made her veins pop and raked an anguished cry from her mouth.

The woman was about 20 years old. Dirt smudged across her cheeks, and her clothes were tattered, butshe had fine features, and anyone could tell that she was a beauty from a single glance. She wouldprobably be gorgeous if she dressed up.

“Oh my, it’s a beauty!”

Lana could not help but smile when she saw the other woman.

Chapter 963 “Who–who are you?”

The young woman was frightened by their appearance, worried that they were up to no good.

“Don’t be scared, Brianna. I brought this Chinese medicine practitioner here to take a look at you!”

The old beggar quickly explained to his granddaughter. The young woman managed a sigh of relief whenshe heard that.

jackie walked over and crouched down, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Lay down first!”

The young woman did as he said, enduring the pain. jackie began to gently massage the area aroundher waist.

“You have a dislocated bone, miss. I have no choice, so don’t mind me!”

jackie gave an embarrassed cough before moving his hand downward, stopping right above herbuttocks.

Brianna’s face reddened, and her pulse quickened. She could do nothing but clench her teeth in silence.

She was well aware that the little money her grandfather had was not enough for any doctor to prescribemedicine for her.

This doctor though was willing to come from afar just to see her. This was a rare opportunity plus he didnot mind her grandfather and her dirty, scraggly appearances. He probably was not a bad person.

However, the position of his hand naturally made a young woman like her extremely embarrassed. Hercheeks were as red as tomatoes.

“Hold on for a little longer. It’ll be over soon!”

jackie kneaded his wrist, then gave a light slap.

“Ah!”

Brianna released a cry of pain. Her thigh bone and femoral head finally clicked back together, resulting ina clear crack that sliced through the air.

The sound rang out clearly. However, it was easy to miss it too, if one was not paying attention.

“All done!”

jackie stood up, his lips curling into a reassuring smile.

“It–it’s done?”

Brianna was astonished. She moved her leg experimentally. She could truly move now, and it was notthe least bit painful.

“Th–thank you, sir. My leg is truly better!”

Brianna immediately got up and bowed toward jackie.

“No need to thank me!”

jackie smiled. “Right. So how did you end up in this predicament?”

The old man looked at jackie and released a long sigh. “Ah, it’s a long story, young man. We can’t helpthat we’ve been reduced to this state. Let’s not talk about it!”

Selena observed the two beggars before turning toward her husband and saying, “We’re looking forsome servants, right, dear? Why don’t we…”

jackie instantly understood what she meant. He bobbed his head and spoke to the beggar and hisgranddaughter, “That’s right. We’re looking for some helpers around our house. Perhaps you’reinterested? If you’re fine with it, sir, you can help to maintain the garden. And this young lady can helpwith cleaning the house!”

Chapter 964 “S–sir, we’re just beggars. You’ve already helped us so much. It won’t do for you to havebeggars in your workplace, no?”

The old man was extremely touched, but he spoke with a tinge of embarrassment.

“you won’t be beggars any longer if you work in my place. More importantly, food and lodging will becovered, so you don’t have to worry about it!”

jackie chuckled and replied.

“Th–thank you, Doctor!”

Tears welled up in Brianna’s eyes, threatening to spill out. She stepped forward and thanked himprofusely.

“Let’s go. First off, let’s get you two some new clothes. You can shower and get a good rest when we getback. You’ll start work tomorrow!

“And I’ll pay you 10 thousand dollars per month. How about that?”

jackie spoke in a flippant tone, smiling.

“Young man, this–this is too much, isn’t it? You don’t have to pay us that much. Just give us any amount.We’ll be eternally grateful so long as we have a place to stay and food to eat!”

The old beggar could not hold his tears in for much longer.

“don’t say that. I treat everyone equally. All my subordinates receive the same amount of wages. Itmakes it easier for me to keep track of my funds too!”

jackie burst into laughter.

At this moment, his phone rang out.

He could not help but frown when he saw that it was Skyler who called. The king of war rarely called him,so when he did, there was something going on.

After the call ended, jackie shook his head slowly, a bitter smile creeping over his lips.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen at home?”

Selena furrowed her brows and asked jackie.

He nodded his head in return. “Yes. Skyler told me that a few kings of war came to our place looking fortrouble, but they had to leave when they saw him so in the end they didn’t do anything.”

Here, jackie paused before continuing, “But Young Master Chaffman and Young Master Quinton came bynot long after with a few men in tow, looking for trouble. They injured two of our bodyguards, and theirarms had been broken. Skyler was afraid of blowing the matter up, so he just killed the two fighters andtheir bodyguards, leaving those two b*stards alive!”

“So that’s what happened. No wonder he called you!”

Selena came to a realization. “Then we’d better head back first. The two injured bodyguards need yourmedical attention!”

“Yup!”

jackie bobbed his head. “We’ll quickly get two sets of clothes for them, then we’ll head backstraightaway.”

The old beggar and Brianna were moved after they heard the conversation.

They wondered which family the young man before them belonged to. A few kings of war came to them,looking for trouble, but they were so scared that they left. Even Young Master Quinton and Young MasterChaffman ended up frightened to their wits after they had gone to them, looking for trouble. It seemedthat the people before them were indeed very powerful.

jackie quickly brought the two to buy clothes before heading back.

He ordered a servant to bring the two to their accommodation to take a rest. jackie also handed them twothousand dollars each, ensuring that they had some pocket money. Only then did he attend to the twoinjured bodyguards.

Chapter 965 “ jackie, I didn’t know what to do when you and Miss Selena weren’t around, honestly. Ididn’t want to cause any trouble for us when we’ve just arrived in Swallow City. Besides, the two fightersfrom the Chaffman family were really strong—probably as strong as six-star or seven-star Kings of War. Ikilled them, just to teach them a lesson.”

Skyler explained everything to jackie when he saw the latter’s arrival.

jackie took out two pills and gave one each to the bodyguards. Then he looked at Skyler. “Good job. Youreally showed them that we can’t be bullied,” he said. “Even a second-class aristocratic family would befrightened if you killed two of their fighters in a flash!”

“Here I thought that you would blame me for my actions!”

Skyler could not help but smile, seeing that jackie was not mad at him—rather, his master was pleasedwith his decision.

“Why would I? These two bodyguards are your disciples, and they’re such strong fighters. They killed somany heroes from the enemy’s side on the battlefield, and they were injured. Of course, you can’t just letthem off!”

jackie was relieved. After he said that, he looked at the two bodyguards. “Take a good rest,” he said.“You can start training again after you both have adequate rest and try to improve your skills. We’re inSwallow City—the City of Martial Arts. There are plenty of strong fighters here!”

“I would have killed all of them if I wasn’t afraid of revealing our identity. F*ck. I really want to weed outthe arrogant idiots who think they can throw their weight about and bully everyone!”

Skyler flashed a bright smile.

“ jackie!”

At this moment, a voice abruptly rang out. Fiona stalked over, huffing. “What’s going on? I heard that youbrought two beggars in. Either I’m drunk, or you’re drunk. We’re not some no-name family now—we havea powerful social standing. How could you just bring beggars in?”

Skyler, Elaine, and the others exchanged glances. Their features twisted into snide expressions.

Only a mother-in-law like Fiona would dare to order jackie about like that. He was the Supreme Warrior!

However, they knew that there was no way about it. She was his mother-in-law, and jackie insisted onconcealing his identity. He could not yell, he could not fight back; he could only endure it all.

Still, they only realized that jackie’s temper had gotten better with her. When they had been on thebattlefield, nobody dared to provoke the man who could make dozens fall with a swoop of his arm. Theyall needed to mind their words around him.

“I suggested it, Mom. They were in such sorry states, so I wanted jackie to help them!”

Selena smiled and explained to Fiona.

“But how can we just take in beggars? We’re not some refugee camp, nor are we a charity. Besides, itwould be so embarrassing if anyone found out about this!”

Fiona’s expressions softened slightly when she learned that it was Selena’s idea. Nevertheless, she hadboth arms folded over her chest, and she spoke in an exasperated tone.

“Mom, they were beggars before. I’m not taking them in for free. They’re going to work here, and they’llbe our servants from now on. They’ll receive 10 thousand dollars per month just like the other servants.They won’t be beggars then, right?”

jackie tried to negotiate, smiling.

“Hmph. I’ll forgive you this once. But don’t simply take in beggars next time!”

Fiona harrumphed before leaving in a huff.

The two beggars, Nathanael and Brianna Sullivan, quickly finish showering and changed into the clothesthat jackie had bought for them.

The two went to see jackie and thanked him and Selena.

jackie’s eyes immediately brightened when he saw the two. He could tell that these two carried a strangedignity that could not be found in any regular person.

Especially Brianna, who had a poised manner that was not unlike that of a young lady of a significanthousehold.

Chapter 966 jackie did not pester them with any more questions no matter the consequences; they didnot seem to want to resume their chat either. After all, everybody had their own secrets.

“It’s noon now, and you guys must be hungry. Let me ask the kitchen staff to prepare some lunch for you!Rest well this afternoon since you’ve got some free time, and we’ll get Elaine to arrange some work foryou tomorrow!” jackie, after sorting out his thoughts and plans, made some arrangements and askedthem to leave.

It was only after walking a good distance away that Brianna Sullivan spoke to Nathanael Sullivan,“Grandfather, why haven’t we heard about the White family before? It looks like Skyler Celestino is verygood. He was able to kill two masters that were on par with six or seven-star Kings of War. He’sincredibly skilled!”

Nathanael smiled and replied, “That’s right. jackie and Selena are rather wealthy as well—what withthose twenty villas—but it seems like most of them are empty. This means that they’re not a strongpower. Nonetheless… Why are they daring enough to offend a second-class aristocratic family whenthey’re not strong? Aren’t they afraid that their enemies would get back at them as they killed themasters owned by the second-class aristocratic family?”

Brianna also nodded. “Think about it, Grandfather: What does it mean when such a strong master iswilling to follow jackie and Selena around? This means that jackie is either a significantly importantindividual that Skyler Celestino willingly dedicated himself to jackie, or jackie’s that strong for the masterto willingly follow him.” Brianna paused and gave a wry smile before adding, “There’s also the possibilitythat the pair has deep pockets to offer him a handsome salary, so much so that it moved the otherperson to agree to work as their bodyguard’s head commander!”

Nathanael thought about it and nodded. “Yes, that makes sense.”

Nathanael was still unsure of the situation and what to make of it when Brianna continued, “But if we’retalking about handsome pays, then it’d make no sense since a master like that could’ve joined first-classaristocratic families or other more powerful clans, don’t you think? Their salary offer would surely behigher, and it’s stranger that I’ve never heard of this White family before!”

Nathanael sighed. “Whatever it is, we’ve finally met someone nice. Let’s just stay here and work hard torepay their kindness.”

Brianna frowned and reluctantly argued, “But Grandfather, you know what I want. I really want to get myrevenge!”

Nathanael gave her a bitter smile and shook his head at her words. “Revenge? Do you know how difficultthat is? Apart from that, it’s really nice that they’re able to help us. On what grounds should we askpeople to help us? Apart from that, we shouldn’t involve them as they’d be like mere ants to our enemieswho, might I say, are powerful.”

The dejected Brianna inwardly sighed and fell silent.

…

“Young Master Chaffman, I—I’ll be taking my leave now!” stammered Caleb, wiping the cold sweat onhim after he helped Young Master Chaffman into the car.

Too shook to even comprehend, Peace merely gave a short, “Alright, alright!”

Upon arriving in his own home, Caleb smoked several cigarettes in his room to calm himself down.

To the two, it felt like they had a narrow escape from death.

It was in the afternoon that a thought occurred to Caleb, and he immediately drove to his second uncle,Hunter.

Hunter had just finished lunch and was back in his own villa. Sitting under a large tree in his yard, hesipped his tea as he peacefully listened to relaxing music.

“Uncle, thank goodness…! Thank goodness that you’re still here instead of picking on jackie. I’m tellingyou—don’t. Don’t do it. Even if your Kings of War friends went, they would’ve failed!”

Chapter 967 Caleb approached Hunter and instantly advised against offending jackie.

With a displeased expression, Hunter curiously asked, “How did you know that? Didn’t you want me toteach them a lesson not long ago? Isn’t this a trouble you caused?”

The fact that Hunter lost one of his fingers all because of his nephew, Caleb, made him rather bitter.

Apart from that, the other party gave him respect and asked him to go in alone because Miles Stone wasSkyler Celestino’s old subordinate. If Miles was not there, or if Miles did not have a good relationship withthe eight-star King of War, all of them would have been dead.

The thought of what happened on this day still shook him to the very core, and all would be Caleb’s faultif he died because of it.

“Sigh… You don’t know anything. I was really angry when I thought about how you lost a finger. I thoughtabout it and used the trick—get somebody to do my dirty work!”

Caleb poured himself a cup of tea before he added, “You know how Young Master Chaffman likeswomen, right? Under my instigation, we brought an impressive number of bodyguards with us. Two ofthem were masters who had combat powers comparable to a six-star King of War, but they were all killedin a fight! The other party eventually spared us and let us go unharmed!”

“Two six-stars Kings of War were killed?” Hunter inhaled sharply at that. Skyler truly was ruthless to havekilled two masters mercilessly.

“They’re not six-star Kings of War. They’re just masters from the Chaffman family who had combatpowers comparable to six-star King of War, yet they perished in the end. I estimated that the White familymaster must be exceedingly strong where you and your friends might not stand up to his attacks.Surviving the ordeal, I rushed all the way here, afraid that you might’ve gone over with your people,”Caleb explained.

Hunter glanced at Caleb before making an indignant noise. “Hmph! I’ll take it that you still have yourconscience and still think of me!”

Hunter once again smiled bitterly at this point of the conversation and said, “However, we’ve gone to theWhite residence just now, and I’m lucky my friend, Miles, knows the master in the White family. Iwould’ve been a goner otherwise!”

“What?! You guys have gone there?” Caleb had chills down his spine when he thought about it. “You’resaying that they let you go because Miles knew them and did it out of respect for him?”

“Exactly. We’re incredibly lucky, now that I think about it.” Hunter smiled bitterly. “It’s best not to offendthe White family. We’d die from it, and there’s no way of avenging ourselves then.”

Caleb never thought he would see the day his powerful uncle would say something like that.

He finally nodded. “Nevermind, nevermind… It’s good that we’re alive to see another day. Even thoughthey’re afraid of the Chaffmans, our family wouldn’t be able to avenge me. After all, our Quinton familyisn’t even a third-class aristocratic family!”

“Has that finally registered to that head of yours? Next time, keep a low profile. Don’t come to me thenext time you cause trouble—I won’t help you. Don’t always think that your uncle will clean up yourmess,” fumed Hunter, a cold, condescending smirk on his face as he did.

“I understand. Still… I believe that Young Master Chaffman won’t give up as he’s never suffered such aloss. The Chaffman family has never suffered something like this either,” theorized Caleb.

Chapter 968 Hunter nodded at Caleb’s words, agreeing to him. “That’s possible. Anyways, it’s best if wedon’t provoke them. Who knows who these people are to be able to get an eight-star King of Warworking as their bodyguard!”

Hunter then added, “Truly, I don’t think Young Master Chaffman would give up. After all, he lost twomasters who had powers comparable to six-star Kings of War. He can’t hide this, and when theChaffman family knows about it, they’ll surely start something.”

Caleb nodded. “This is good for us. We don’t need to do anything and just let them fight amongthemselves!”

Despite his positive opinion, Caleb was bitter at the fact that he would not have a chance with thosewomen if they fought.

Caleb left Hunter’s residence after he drank tea for some time.

At that moment…

Several members of the Taylor family were caught in a city not far away from Eastfield.

The Taylors knelt on the ground, shivering as they anxiously eyed the people surrounding them.

“Be honest! Tell us who killed my son and Freeman’s family master’s son. If you don’t tell us the truth, I’llkill you all!” The Lambert family’s third elder, Tao Lambert, was extremely angry when he recalled thedeath of his son, Lucas. Unable to eat properly for the past few days and had waited for news every day,he unfalteringly searched for members of the Taylor family in nearby cities.

At last, they managed to snag a few of them.

Despite having captured extended relatives of the Taylors, he was unsatisfied; Tao Lambert knew thesedamned Taylors were smart. Not only did they sneak away at night, but they even ran separately. It wasextremely difficult to get all of the Taylor family members.

It would still prove to be a difficult feat to find all the Taylors and kill them, even though he had many menworking for him.

One of the Taylors was an old man who quivered out of fear. “If… If we tell you everything we know, willyou really let us go?” stammered the old man.

“You’ll be released—you have my word,” Tao smirked. “Tell us, who killed those four young people andwhere they ran off to? I believe you guys must still be in contact with them, right?”

“I… I’ll tell you!” A middle-aged man gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and forced out, “It… It was jackie.We saw him kill that young man with our own eyes.”

“ jackie?” Tao frowned and looked at Louis next to him after he heard what the man said. “MasterFreeman, he sounds rather familiar, no?”

Louis thought about it and also frowned. “It does, indeed, but I just can’t put my finger on it right now.”

The middle-aged man immediately spoke in order to keep his family alive, “ jackie is the man whomarried our family’s young miss, and the Nine Great Gods of War attended their wedding. He’s theexclusive doctor of the Nine Great Gods of War, so he’s in a rather genial relationship with them!”

Tao sharply inhaled at that. “It’s that guy. I remember it now! Years ago, one of the people from yourfamily, Ivan Taylor, offended my son’s fiancee, who’s also Freeman’s family master’s daughter, Snow.However, my son didn’t plan to kill Ivan. Instead, he assigned a quota for your Taylor family to join thewar…”

Chapter 969 “That’s right. However, our Taylor family’s old master came up with an idea. He asked MissSelena and that young man, jackie to get into a fake marriage. Once they were wed, that son-in-law whomarried into our family went to the battlefield as Young Master Ivan’s replacement, but no one expectedhim to safely return!

“ jackie was a low-profile person. If he hadn’t reorganized a wedding ceremony for Miss Selena, wewouldn’t have known that he was so good that the Nine Great Gods of War attended his wedding!” Themiddle-aged man from the Taylor family immediately explained to them.

“How can someone be so strong after spending five years on the battlefield? You have to understandthat the person who had killed my son and the rest had to be on par with some Kings of War—those withmany stars. It seems like this young man named jackie is quite talented,” surmised Tao.

“ jackie White! We can let the others go but jackie, his wife, and his family must’ve escaped together. Wehave to find him and kill them all. Only then would I have avenged my daughter! I don’t care if he’sfriends with the Nine Great Gods of War. Those people attended his wedding ceremony as a sign ofrespect, but it’s possible that they won’t avenge a mere doctor like him!” The Freeman family master wasextremely angry at that moment, wanting nothing more than to shred jackie into pieces.

“Where are they? Where did they go? Tell us now, or we’ll kill you!” Tao aimed the tip of his sword at themiddle-aged man’s neck and forced him to answer.

“I—I don’t know! jackie was very cunning! They told us to go to him privately if we don’t want to leavewith him. He’d give each family some money and asked us to find a hiding place. How would I knowwhere they run off to? For all I know, they’re probably somewhere far away!” The middle-aged man wasso frightened that he stumbled in his words as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

A thought then occurred to Louis as he ordered the middle-aged man, “Phone number! You guys musthave his phone number. Call him and try to probe for the location they’re at right now, ask which city

they’re hiding in, and make sure you don’t slip up about being captured when you make the call. Do youunderstand me?”

“Yes! Act like it’s a normal call, got it?” said Tao firmly with a nod of his head.

“Yes, w—we have their contact!” The middle-aged man took his phone out with trembling hands andmade the call.

It did not take long for them to realize the phone number was no longer in use.

“It looks like they’ve canceled this number and gotten a new one.” The middle-aged man looked at thepeople in front of him with a frown on his face.

Tao gritted his teeth. “These people are sneaky, but they seem to be quite afraid of us. They wouldn’thave acted so carefully otherwise.”

“Nonsense. It’s natural for them to be afraid. How can they not be afraid when they’ve offended powerfulfamilies from Gin City?” Louis’s face darkened. Although they managed to capture several people, theyfailed to obtain any useful information. They only know that the opponent’s name was jackie and had awife named Selena.

Of course, they could easily get their hands on their photos from some propaganda or posters.

Chapter 970 The middle-aged man from the Taylor family swallowed his saliva and fearfully stammered,“Guys, do… Do you still have questions to ask? If not, can…can we leave?”

Tao thought about it before pulling Louis to the other side and spoke, “Master Freeman, why don’t werelease these people? After all, we promised that we’ll release them once they tell us everything thatthey know.”

“Release them?” Master Freeman smiled coldly. “Elder Lambert, you promised to release them, but Ididn’t. However, you needn’t worry as I’ll be the one to kill them—you won’t even need to lift a finger.That way, you won’t be breaking your promise, right?”

Tao thought about it and offered, “Killing these people means nothing as we won’t get our revenge. Whydon’t we let them go and have them inform us when jackie and the others contact them? Since we’reletting them go, it’s likely that they’d be indebted to us and do just that! If you kill them, on the other hand,the other Taylors would hide from us when they know about this.” Tao paused before he added, “By then,it’d be even difficult for us to find this jackie.”

“Fine” It did make sense to Louis after mulling it over. He then walked toward the captured Taylor familymembers and remarked, “I can let you guys go, but you must tell me if jackie contacts any of you. I’llhandsomely reward you at least a hundred million if there are any valid leads. I’ll even pay one billion ifthe lead proves to be useful to us!”

“Yes, yes, we’ll surely contact you if there are any leads. After all, it’s all because of jackie that we’re inthis situation today!” The middle-aged man nodded vehemently, inwardly relieved at the opportunity toleave.

“Leave,” Louis waved his hand dismissively.

The Taylor family members immediately ran away as though afraid they would change their minds andkill them instead.

“ jackie and Selena? I don’t believe it. I’ll get you people, sooner or later!” Louis gritted his teeth, furiousat the turn of events.

“Master Freeman, we’ve at least received some intel, right? Now, we have a rough picture of what wentdown. Seems like jackie’s got quite the skills to have slain the group of four—my son and three others.”Tao walked over to pat Louis by his shoulder and assessed the situation. “Apart from that, there’s

something else that we’re sure of: That guy is really talented, and that means we need to find him soonand kill him. It’ll be difficult to kill him in several years after he grows!”

“Yes, you’re right, but that guy is really cunning as well. He asked most of the Taylors to run away bythemselves after they took the money. To be honest, he’s afraid that too many people would drawattention. Hence, it’d be difficult to find him. The Nine Provinces are so big, and it’d be very easy to hideseveral people.”

Louis smiled bitterly. “It’s alright if they remain in the country, but it’ll be burdensome to look for them ifthey leave.”

“Sigh… There’s nothing else we can do aside from looking for them. Search the nearby cities andtownships. We also need to search further south!” Tao sighed. “At least we know that they’re hiding fromus—they’re not that powerful though they’re good, it seems. Otherwise, they won’t be afraid of us comingto search for them.”

Meanwhile…

In a villa in Swallow City, Peace Chaffman felt rejuvenated at last after taking a bath and a nap, relievedafter being terrified down to the core.

Chapter 971 “How could they just kill the masters of my Chaffman family? Those useless bodyguardsdon’t matter much, but they dared kill the masters comparable to six-star Kings of War. How should I tellmy family about this?” Peace growled to himself. “I have to tell my father and the others, even if it costsme to lose those two women. I have to get my revenge!”

Peace made up his mind and drove to a huge villa with several bodyguards in tow.

It was a residence where the Chaffmans stayed most of the time, and the villa where Peace lived in waswhere he would go to enjoy his personal space.

It was also the place he enjoyed his time with pretty women when he had nothing to do. He always wentbehind his father and elders’ back because they did not like how he did not engage in honest work.

The Chaffmans normally choose to turn a blind eye, so long as Peace did nothing overboard.

“Oh my, Young Master! Why are you back today?” One of the maids immediately came forward andgreeted him after he got down from his parked car.

Peace walked two steps forward and patted the maid’s buttocks upon recognizing her. “It’s been a longtime, Jean, and your figure has gotten better! Let me admire your body someday when we’re free. Howdoes that sound?”

“Bad? Young Master, you’re getting better at joking. You aren’t short of pretty ladies, are you? Whenwould you remember somebody like me?” The maid rolled her eyes at Young Master Chaffmanflirtatiously, her words rather suggestive tinged with displeasure.

Although Peace was frivolous with women, he was a generous person. Everybody knew that the moneythey would get for spending a night with him was enough for maids like them for the rest of their lives.Sometimes, he spent several millions in a go.

That explained why some maids would not decline Peace’s advances; they even anticipated it.

“I’m thinking about you right now, aren’t I, Jean?” Peace smirked and suggestively added, “Oh yes, cleanup nicely and sneak into my room tonight. I’ll explore life with you, how does that sound?”

“Young Master, that’s very bad of you. I won’t talk to you anymore!” Jean acted reserved and ran awayblushing though she was giddy at the thought, happy at the prospect of spending time with him.

Not long after that, Peace arrived at the living room of a big villa.

At that moment, Master Chaffman and Old Master Chaffman were playing chess in the living room asseveral elders of the family observed them from behind.

“Why have you come back? The sun must’ve come up from the west side. I thought you’ve forgotten thatyou’re a member of the Chaffman family!” remarked Old Master Chaffman, followed by a chuckle at thesight of Peace coming in through the door. “Oh, right! I heard that you’ve asked two of our secret guardsto go out with you. Were you in trouble or something?”

Peace lowered his head and gritted his teeth before he muttered, “A very huge trouble. Grandfather, thesecret guards… Both secret guards…have died.”

Chapter 972 Not many people could become a Chaffmans’ family guard. Of course, all their secretguards were true masters.

People with strength comparable to four or five-star Kings of War were qualified to be the Chaffmanfamily’s secret guards.

These guards would lay low under normal circumstances, only taking action when the Chaffmans facedgreat trouble or threat.

Alas, there were only a dozen of these family guards despite their combat prowess.

When Old Master Chaffman came back, he was secretly unhappy when he found out that Peace orderedtwo of the secret guards to go out with him.

He decided to let it slide, however, as Peace was his grandson. Some women outside might have caughthis eye.

Never did Old Master Chaffman see it coming, however, that Peace would tell them their two secretguards were dead.

“Peace, are you telling the truth? You’re saying that those two secret guards are dead?” blurted thestartled Master Chaffman as all eyes—the Chaffmans—turned to Peace.

After all, the person who could kill the Chaffman family’s secret guards definitely had strong combatpowers. The crucial point was that the opponent dared kill two secret guards when they knew theChaffmans employed them. It seemed like his son had offended some powerful people.

“It… It’s true!” Peace nodded, knowing well that he could never bury this incident. It would have meantnothing had it been a regular bodyguard or even the leader of their usual guards. After all, they were richand could employ anyone, anytime.

Moreover, people dying was a regular occurrence in Swallow City. It was not called the City of MartialArts for nothing, after all.

However, the death of the secret guards was a great loss to the Chaffman family.

Old Master Chaffman exhaled deeply before slowly standing up. He gazed at Peace with a sharp,intense gaze as he crisply commented, “I think we’ve spoiled you a little too much. We normally don’tcontrol you when you bring bodyguards to show-off publicly, only asking you to not cross powerfulpeople, but it seems you’ve done just that this time.”

Old Master Chaffman paused here before asking, “Tell us: Which powerful people did you offend? Whichfamily do they belong to?”

“I’m not actually sure which power they’re from…” replied the unsure Peace, unable to search histhoughts.

“What?!” The members of the Chaffman family gazed at each other in speechless dismay.

“You caused two of our secret guards to die without even knowing which powerful family those peopleare from?” The flabbergasted Master Chaffman almost passed out from anger. They suffered such a

huge loss, yet his son had no idea of the assailant’s background.

“They’re not powerful people. I only know that there’s a guy among them called jackie and a womancalled Selena. There’s also a woman who wears a face mask!”

Chapter 973 Peace thought about it and remarked, “That man called jackie and the woman wearing amask seemed to be skilled, though the other woman—Selena—seemed rather ordinary. They’re nomatch for our secret guards for sure, but… Many of our bodyguards and our secret guards were killed bya man seemingly in his forties or fifties, and he was the head commander of their bodyguards!”

“Head commander of their bodyguards? That powerful?” Old Master Caffman frowned and asked again,“How strong were the two secret guards you brought with you?”

“Their combat abilities are on par with six-star Kings of War,” said Peace, a bitter smile on his face as hecontinued, “which was why it surprised me to no end how they were slain so easily. My guess is that theold man is equal to a seven or even eight star King of War.”

“You…” Old Master Chaffman felt white-hot anger coursing through him as he pointed sharply at Peace,saying, “Those secret guards that have died are very powerful. Oh my god, these people you offendedmust be from a second-class aristocratic family at least!”

“Grandfather, I didn’t ask for this. How would I know that they’d be so strong! Sigh… What should I donow? I suggest that we end them soon or we’d be shamed for it. Others will laugh at us when they hearabout this!” Peace could not help himself and tried to instigate Old Master Chaffman.

“Do you think that they won’t have other masters helping them when a head commander of theirs can killtwo of our masters? We’re strong, that’s correct, but our family is only a second-class aristocratic family.If we continue investigating this issue, the other party might kill many of our people if they act indesperation, even if they only have a master comparable to a seven or eight-star King of War!”

“By then, our power would be greatly weakened. I’m afraid that it’d be difficult for us to continue living inthis Swallow City!” one of the Chaffman family’s elders spoke up after assessing the situation.

“However, won’t others laugh at us if they heard about this?” another young man of the Chaffman familychimed in and voiced out his thoughts. “Apart from that, I’ve never heard about any strong jackie White inSwallow City!”

He then turned to Peace and insisted, “Young Master, you should know how big the place they live at,right?”

“It’s not very big, about twenty villas next to one another. Seems like they’re not much of a threat, and Ididn’t see many bodyguards,” replied Peace after recalling the information he had with him. “Of course,the woman with a face mask is rather skilled. The Quintons’ young master, Caleb Quinton offended thetrio while his second uncle, King of War Hunter Moore wanted to help him get back at them. Alas, thewoman with a face mask easily bested him.”

“Hunter Moore?” Master Chaffman frowned. “He’s a three-star King of War. Looks like the woman youmentioned is a master with combat abilities comparable to four or five-star Kings of War. I’m sure thatthis woman and the older man you’ve mentioned moments before are people that should never becrossed.”

“We really can’t let something like this go, but I get that we can’t act rashly either since we don’t knowmuch about them. If we don’t take action now, we might be the ones regretting it later!” Old MasterChaffman kept quiet for a while before he spoke, “Peace, don’t start anything with them, do youunderstand? I’ll send someone over for a background check on them. If they’re powerful people fromother places and are here for a trip, we might suffer the consequences of offending them.”

“Grandfather is right. We should investigate their backgrounds and make our move after we know a littlemore about them.” Peace smiled embarrassingly. Although he wanted to bring people to pay jackie andthe others a visit, he could not do anything apart from admitting his bad luck for the time being.

Chapter 974 Selena was overwhelmed with worry that night, evident with the frown on her face as shelaid down with jackie on the bed. “Honey, do you think the Chaffmans will come back and cause ustrouble?”

After all, the Chaffman family was much stronger than Caleb’s family. This was a second-classaristocratic family, and a second-class aristocratic family from Swallow City was far stronger than asecond-class aristocratic family of a small city like Eastfield.

“That’ll depend on how smart they are. I can’t help it if they’re daring enough to cause us trouble whenthey know that we have such a strong master with us here! If they’re smart, they won’t act so rashly likethat.

“After all, we’ve just reached Swallow City, and I don’t think they know much about who we are oranything like that!” came jackie’s nonchalant reply, accompanied by a chuckle of his own.

“That’s true.” Selena smiled and laid on jackie’s chest. She raised her head and asked again, “Hubby,when are you going to meet your father?”

To that, jackie offered a wry smile. “Sometime later. I’m still investigating something else here. Honey, apiece of dragon scale appeared in this city. I’m quite interested in it, so I plan to investigate it thoroughly.”

“Really? Are there really dragons in this world?” Selena frowned at jackie’s words. “You’re sure it’s adragon scale and not the scale of some other animal?”

“Honey, there’s more than dragons in this world, and I believe you’d have the chance to see them in thefuture!” assured jackie heartily.

“Really? I fear that they’d scare the daylights out of me. That’s a mythical animal. I wonder if it reallylooks like that…and does it eat humans?” came Selena’s reply, though she paid not much mind into suchan idea.

“I’m a dragon, and I’ll eat you up!” With a hearty chuckle, jackie turned and pressed Selena under hisbody.

“Dash, it’s so late and you still want to do it!” Blush seared Selena’s face as jackie kissed her deeply.

At that moment, in the White family…

The Ninth Patronum, Brenton White came toward Lily.

“How did it go? What’s the progress on sending people to kill jackie? Now that we know where they live,it won’t take much time to go there and kill them, right?” Lily asked impatiently when she saw the NinthPatronum coming over.

Brenton smiled bitterly before saying, “Madam, jackie and the others have left Eastfield.”

“What? They’ve left?” Lily shot up from her seat at the news Brenton relayed. “Where did they go? Doyou know?”

“We don’t know yet. When our men came to the residence, they discovered that the house was emptyand the people were gone, and they found out that jackie had crossed quite a handful of people. Afterour people were killed, powerful people from overseas came looking for him, but they were killed byjackie. Apart from that, he also offended a powerful family from Gin City—the Lambert family, and theysilently left Eastfield as they offended such a powerful family.”

Chapter 975 The Ninth Patronum smiled bitterly and reported his findings.

“They secretly left Eastfield?” Lily’s expression shifted into one of distaste. “Is that guy thinking of comingto the White family after he offended powerful people from Gin City? He’s probably trying to seek shelterunder the White family after angering such strong people and is left without much of a choice. He mightseek protection from the family!”

“We don’t know that. I heard that they sneaked out of the city in the middle of the night, and our mendon’t know which direction they went to. I’m concerned that they’d go to the White family. If so, theymight be reaching in another two days!” Ninth Patronum fretted at the possibility. After all, he had beentaking the money meant for jackie and even received a lot of money from Lily.

The Lagorio family was initially formidable while their eldest young master was extremely talented.Everybody was sure that he would become the White family’s master and, because of all this, he wasdaring enough to work for Lily, in the belief that jackie stood no chance of returning.

Never did he think such sudden changes would happen, and that worried him.

He thought of singling jackie out to kill jackie and Joan. It would be conducted secretly, buryingeverything else that had happened over the years effectively. Alas, he never expected his men wouldreturn empty-handed— jackie and the others had already left Eastfield.

“We can’t let that guy reach the White family!” Lily was slightly worried. She thought about it and ordered,“Send more people and station them on the main roads to the White family. Kill jackie, Joan, and theothers on sight!”

“Alright. We can’t let them come to the White family alive, or there’ll be trouble!” The Ninth Patronumimmediately nodded and was prepared to arrange his subordinates accordingly.

However, Lily stopped him after he walked two steps away. “Ninth Patronum, remember that the men youdispatch have to obey you and keep everything confidential. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Madam.” The Ninth Patronum made a gesture of respect before he headed out. He had to quicklymake relevant arrangements or it would be difficult to kill jackie when he and his company came.

The next morning, Lana came looking for jackie.

“Master, what happened to Senior is quite troublesome. We’ve been doing our investigation but foundnothing useful. However, I know that he used to live at a hotel and made contact with powerfulunderground forces. Nobody knew what happened next.” The look in Lana’s expression and eyes boreseriousness and solemnity.

“He made contact with the underground forces? Is it possible that the dragon scale is in the hands ofsome powerful people among the underground forces?” jackie thought about it and surmised, “Theunderground forces don’t do serious businesses. However, since your senior said that it’s a trap, Ibelieve that they’ll definitely contact us or find a way to locate us.”

Lana thought about it and said, “You’re saying that we don’t need to hurry?”

“Yes. Just send some people and ask around. I believe that the other party will contact us the momentthey can. Of course, our people would have to investigate the matter as well, or they might not find us.”jackie nodded and stretched his body. “I want to see who it is, trying to oppose me. I’m not afraid ofanybody in this world apart from the really reclusive families!”

Chapter 976 At that moment, a bodyguard ran over and said to jackie, “Master, two beautiful ladies arelooking for you outside. Oh, yes, they’re also looking for Miss Selena and Miss Lana.”

“They’re looking for the three of us?” A small frown appeared on jackie’s face as he quickly walkedoutside with Selena.

As they got to their entrance, they realized that it was the two gorgeous-looking celebrities that lived nextdoor.

“Greetings, fair ladies. Can we help you with anything? Come in and take a seat,” offered jackie as hesmiled toward Blake and Tianna.

“We won’t be going in. We’re grateful that you saved us not too long ago and helped us. The weather isgood today, so we’d like to invite you out for a meal. May we have the honor?” Blake smiled shyly andglanced at jackie sheepishly.

“Why, yes! How can we refuse the invitation from two beautiful women? Of course, it’s our honor to havelunch with two famous celebrities!” jackie nodded and agreed to it.

Tianna stretched her limbs as she smilingly beamed, “Then let’s go. With you two, we don’t even need tobring our bodyguards. It’d be much more comfortable like this!”

“Do we need to drive?” asked Selena after thinking about their offer.

“No need for that—there’s a nice restaurant not far ahead of us. Both me and Blake like to go there forfood when we’re free. The taste and other aspects of the restaurant are amazing!” Tianna smiled and ledthe way with Tianna.

The quintet soon arrived at a nice restaurant.

Many passersby secretly took photos of them with their cell-phones as they made their journey.

They felt envy sizzling within them, especially toward jackie. After all, he was the only man among thegroup of five, and his four female companions were utterly stunning. How could others not be envious ofsuch a scene?

Even when jackie left the house with Selena and Lana, he would attract many envious looks. How couldthe others not be jealous of him as he walked with two A-class celebrities?

“F*ck! Who’s that man? He’s with Blake and Tianna, no joke, and it’s hard enough to invite those twobeautiful celebrities!” Many customers saw the five and murmured among themselves when the group offive sat down for food.

“He must be some super rich young master. Only those young masters from aristocratic families who canafford to pay thousands or billions of money are qualified to invite such pretty celebrities. Otherwise,chances of asking them out would be flat-out zero.”

Another middle-aged man gushed, “Them Blake and Tianna don’t involve themselves in scandalsnormally. Celebrities like these are rare in the current entertainment world!”

Chapter 977 Of course, everyone else in the restaurant kept their voices low on purpose in a ratherhushed manner.

Still, jackie—who sat there—heard everything as clear as day, and his opinion about Blake and Tiannarose by several points.

After all, it was not easy for them to stay clean in such a circle.

Unbeknownst to them, however, a few men who walked past them from the road outside the restaurantspotted the beautiful women with jackie.

The eyes of one lit up. He ran to the other side and secretly made a call to a director. “Director Wagner, Isaw Blake and Tianna, and they’re having a meal with another man and two women. There are five ofthem in the restaurant, and no bodyguards in sight. This is a good chance!”

The eyes of Director Wagner—on the other side of the phone—lit up as the corners of his mouth curledup in satisfaction. “Really? Splendid! Send me the address and I’ll send someone to get it done. I’msending better men over this time, the last ones were downright useless. They can’t even bring in twowomen and even suffered a beating!”

The man on the other side of the phone immediately sent the location to him.

The man knew all too well that while Director Wagner was a director and majored in film-making, he wasa far cry from being a good one and filmed several bad films.

However, because he was a rich young master from a filthy rich family, a true third-class aristocraticfamily at that, he had the money to fool around. That was why he was able to employ good celebrities toact in his films.

The newbies would have a sexual relationship with Director Wagner because they wanted to be thefemale main lead. That was what Director Wagner loved to do, and that was why he insisted on hisdreams. He constantly made films so that he could meet such celebrities.

He had his eyes set on Blake and wanted her to film in his new movie so he could get his hands on her.novelbin

Never did he expect, however, that she would turn him down despite offering her a handsome pay. Thatmade Director Wagner displeased.

“Once Director Wagner gets his hands on this woman, I’d be considered to have done a great service.It’d be nice if he gives me a good character!” The man laughed as he placed his cell-phone back into hispocket before he left with his friends.

“Please, order whatever you like, everyone. Don’t be courteous with us!” Blake smiled as she stoleglances of jackie in front of her with charming eyes.

That man was not only utterly handsome to behold, but he also saved her twice. Blake recalled howjackie took the tracker device from her button, and it made her heart jump furiously.

jackie’s charms gradually caught her attention, and Blake would catch herself thinking of him during herfree time for the past two days. She had to admit that he was too outstanding, and she was immenselyinterested.

“Then we won’t hold back.” jackie smiled. He ordered quite a number of dishes before passing the menuback to the waiter.

After the dishes were served, the group of five started eating.

Once they finished their meal, Blake took the initiative and paid for their meal, and that induced jealousyfrom the people around jackie. They assumed that the man would be the one paying for the meal theyshared with the beautiful celebrities, thus it shocked them when the celebrities were the ones treating theman to a meal. That was a distant dream for many.

As the five stepped out of the restaurant, several cars drove over and surrounded them in a circle.Around 20 people came down from the cars and circled the five.

“So many babes we got here!” one of the bald men said with a smile after eyeing them. “Why didn’tDirector Wagner ask us to bring all the beauties away with us? All he asked for was Blake. Won’t it be awaste to leave the other three?”

Chapter 978 While the bald man had tattoos on his head, he seemed to be someone of importance andseemed to be the leader of this team.

Another person with a sharp-shaped mouth and monkey-like features smiled as he spoke to the baldman, “Boss, there’s a simple solution for this: why don’t we just take ‘em all since we’re here and readyfor action? In for a penny, in for a pound—let’s just capture them all! We’ll kill this man. As for the otherfour ladies… We’ll give Blake to Director Wagner and keep the others.”

“I like the sound of that! Why does it seem like these other two babes are somewhat better-looking thanthese two celebrities?” spoke the bald man, smirking as he wore a sleazy expression.

“It seems like this so-called Director Wagner is quite powerful. Haven’t I given him punishment before?”jackie smiled coldly as he looked at the people in front of him.

Blake was rather worried at the sight of so many men. She estimated that these people had superiorcombat power than the previous ones.

She looked at jackie and the others and, with a faintly worried expression, fretted, “I’m so sorry—seemslike I’ve caused you people trouble again. It seems difficult to handle these…these people!”

jackie smiled at her nonchalantly. “Don’t worry—they’re just trash bags. This Director Wagner must havea death wish or something, wanting to try again after failing. It looks like I have to teach him a lesson!”

“Director Wagner isn’t just a director. His family is very rich and is a third-class aristocratic family! Howelse would he have that much money to fund his trashy films? He’s filmed several bad movies and notonly did he fail to make any money, but he’s lost quite a lot. His parents, sadly, are so rich that theybarely bat an eye at the fact, considering they could afford losing money.”

Tianna smiled bitterly and said, “This guy loves filming movies because of the young people who havedreams of getting famous.”

Everything clicked for jackie after he heard everything, and he nodded. “No wonder he acts soarrogantly: that casanova, so fixated on pretty women, came from a third-class aristocratic family!”

“You’re quite a womanizer, aren’t you, young man? I’m jealous that you get to go out with four enticingwomen!” The bald man smiled sinisterly and continued, “My apologies, however, that this will be your lastday on earth.”

“‘Last day on earth’, huh? Are you sure?” jackie smiled coldly and focused his sight. He moved speedilyand flickered right before them.

“So fast!” The bald man lost focus as a flicker of light flashed before him, and he was greeted with theabrupt face of jackie the moment he regained focus.

Startled at his speed, the bald man clenched his fist and was prepared to punch jackie.

Unlucky for him, jackie made the first move as his fist sharply jabbed against his chest.

Thunk!

With a slightly dull sound, the bald man flew outward and landed several meters away. Embedded to theground, he lied motionless as blood spewed from the corners of his mouth.

“What?!” Somebody took a look and was frightened till his face turned pale. That was a display ofimmense power, no doubt.

However, that person looked around him and was slightly more confident in himself. “F*ck, let’s attacktogether! This man is no simpleton! We’ll get him together and kill him!”

jackie and Lana acted together, and all 20 people dropped like flies onto the floor.

Chapter 979 Just like that, the bald man and his comrades were killed with only a few left alive; Lana andjackie let them off leniently.

“That’s… That’s too strong, no?” Blake and Tianna inhaled sharply, floored by jackie and Lana’s combatability. It was seldom for them to meet such strong masters.

“That’s nothing!” jackie laughed and said to the people lying on the floor, “My name is jackie. Go backand tell Young Master Wagner to stop troubling Miss Blake and Miss Tiana, you hear? They’re my bestfriends. If anything happens to them, he’ll be walking on eggshells the rest of his life.”

Tianna and Blake—who stood behind jackie—gazed in awe, conquered by his extremely domineeringtonation. He was incredibly domineering and manly, threatening his enemies like that and vowed toprotect them both.

“Let’s go, time to head back.” jackie turned around and smiled before leaving with the others.

It was only after they left that one of the men hastily called Director Wagner. “Young Master Wagner,we’ve met with some f*cking strong people this time. The woman wearing a mask and the man is too

strong; we’re no match for them. Our people couldn’t even fight back, and half of our group wasslaughtered so easily. Only a few were spared, though still badly hurt!”

“How’s that possible? Are they that powerful?” Young Master Wagner’s face darkened, his fists clenchedtightly as it did. “Who’s this person? How dare he go against our Wagner family? Not only did it happenonce—it happened twice now! F*ck! I’ll definitely kill this guy!”

The bodyguard frowned at that and hesitantly stated, “Young Master Wagner, the guy called himselfjackie, and he asked us to pass a message to you. He said that Blake and Tianna are his friends andhe’ll kill you if anything happens to them.”

“He said that he’d kill me?” Young Master Wagner almost vomited blood in his fury. “That guy’s suicidal!F*ck! I don’t believe that jackie, a man I’ve never even heard before, dare stand up against us, a third-class aristocratic family!”

Young Master Wagner eventually ended the call and went back to the Wagner family mansion.

He directly went to an elder and said to him, “Old man, don’t forget your promise before. You owe me afavor, and it’s time to go through that.”

The elder with grey hair nodded. “I’ve long waited for this chance to pay back this favor of yours. I oweyou nothing after this.”

Young Master Wagner smirked and said to the elder, “Excellent. You said this yourself, and I’m sure youwon’t disappoint me as you’re a seven-star King of War. I believe in you! I want you to kill a few peopleand capture a woman for me.”

“It shall be done.” The elder nodded without any hesitation.

“That’s great! Let’s go!” Young Master Wagner asked the elder to leave with him after that. He ordered adozen of the Wagner family’s masters to follow him as they drove toward the direction where Blake and

Tianna lived.

“There’s a group of four women and a man, eh?” As their cars arrived at the villa where jackie and theothers stayed, Young Master Wagner’s eyes landed at the group of five who were slowly walking backhome. His eyes lit up. “That other woman is a stunner herself!”

Chapter 980 The elder from the Wagner family grimaced at Young Master Wagner’s words, and his eyesheld faint disdain.

He loathed those who oppressed others, but when he thought of the favor he owed Young MasterWagner and the Wagner family, the elder followed them out of the car.

“Who’s this?” jackie frowned when he saw the other party from far away.

“That’s Young Master Wagner, also known as Director Wagner! He got here so quickly!” Blake took alook and her face slightly darkened. She fretted at the trouble she brought for jackie.

“Well, it’s great that he’s here. Let’s teach him a lesson so he won’t hang onto these bad ideas every day.This time, I’ll turn him into a eunuch so he won’t constantly crave after women.” jackie smiled coldly ashe eyed the men before him, rubbing his fists as he did.

“You’ll be a goner today, young man. You’re rather gutless to even dare challenge me, Dylan Wagner!”Dylan arrived not far away from where jackie was and stopped. He smiled coldly as he scanned Selenaand Lana from head to toe. “Young man, you’re doing quite good yourself. There seemed to be lots ofbeautiful women around you. Although a lot of my subordinates are sacrificed today, it seems like I’vegained more than I’ve lost. Doesn’t seem fair if we only take home Blake today.”

“That’s right, Young Master. It’d be a waste if you don’t get the remaining three!” The other bodyguardsalso started laughing.

The four beauties in front of them were extremely stunning.

“Are you sure? You ordered twenty people to come after us before this, yet none of them could contendagainst me. You want to capture the ladies with these trash bags?” jackie eyed the people in front of him,his eyes filled with disdain.

“You’re a blind one, young man! This old man is a seven-star King of War, and he alone can kill you ahundred times over!” Dylan laughed out loudly. “How many heads do you think you have that we can cutoff?”

“Seven-star King of War? You’re a King of War?” jackie looked at the elder and frowned. “I never thoughtthat a King of War would wallow in the mire with rubbish like these. You’re rather disappointing.”

The corners of the old man’s mouth twitched and his facial expression immediately darkened. “You onlyhave yourself to blame, young man,” said the elder. “When I was on the battlefield, I didn’t have the timeto care about my family. It was the Wagner family master who helped me bury my wife after she passedaway. I owe their family a favor, and I’m here to return the favor.”

The old man glanced at Dylan and continued, “While I don’t condone his actions, I need to fulfill mypromises.”

jackie smiled indifferently and said, “Alright. This means that your favor would be considered gone onceyou take action today, yes? Even if it means that you’d lose to me?”

“I’m a seven-star King of War! How will I lose to a young man like you?” The elder started laughing afterhe heard what jackie said. “Young man, you really don’t have much respect for us Kings of War!”

“You can try if you don’t believe me!” jackie made an indignant sound as he beckoned them to start.

“Hmph!” The elder no longer wasted time in idle chat and stretched his hand out to hit jackie.

A strong force of gust blew toward jackie as it carried an imposing momentum.

“Your fighting ability is really good!” jackie was slightly surprised. Although this elder was a seven-starKing of War, he already had the combat power equal to some eight-star Kings of War.

jackie slightly moved to one side and simply evaded the old man’s attack when he saw the old manmoving toward him.

Chapter 981 “What?” The elder never expected jackie was faster than him and could evade his attack.

By the time he regained his focus, jackie had kicked his abdomen.

A dull sound was heard as the elder was sent backward several meters away. He stepped on the groundwith his full strength to stabilize himself.

However, as he managed to stabilize himself, he felt a sweet taste that surged from his throat. Hevomited a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

“Impossible! What sort of power is this?” Dylan’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw the eldervomited blood. His mouth hung open so widely that it seemed as though his chin could touch the ground.

“Goodness! Even the seven-star King of War is no match for him?!” The other masters from the Wagnerfamily were baffled at the outcome. That elder was their endgame, and he was the reason Dylan daredto act so rampantly. After all, this elder owed them a favor, and he planned to utilize that in a criticalmoment.

Dylan never used that favor all the while, but he had to use it this time as many of his family bodyguardswere slain.

He never thought things would turn out differently.

“Ahh!” The elder gritted his teeth and flipped his palm. A sword appeared and he swung it toward jackie.

“Are we seriously fighting?” jackie had noticed the ring on the elder’s hand since early on. He estimatedthat it held a sword as these rings were small storage units. Not many people owned such rings, and notmany people could use them.

jackie smiled coldly and flipped his wrist. His black sword appeared right after, and he swung it towardthe elder.

Two powerful sword aura forces clashed against one another, yet an even more daunting gust of windwas released.

“Aah!” The strong wind caused many people to move backward. Selena could not stand straight andmoved several steps backward from the scary impact.

The wind blew Blake’s dress up and showed her sexy long legs, to which she blushed embarrassingly.

Both strong energies fought each other.

Eventually, jackie’s sword aura gained the upper hand. The overwhelming power suppressed theopponent’s sword aura as the aura rushed through the elder.

A scary wound appeared on the elder’s chest. The elder flew outward and the blood from his woundpainted a perfect curve in the sky.

The elder laid on the floor and was unable to stand up as he gasped for air.

jackie walked over and spoke with a cold smile on his face. “You can rest easy now, you’ve followedthrough your promise.”

“Haha… “ The elder smiled bitterly as he awaited his death. “It feels much better…now that I’ve done myend of the bargain…”

jackie ignored the elder. He swung his sword and the sword auras flew out toward the bodyguards, killingthem in the process. Only Dylan—who was so frightened that his legs had turned to jelly—was leftstanding in front of jackie.

Chapter 982 “Young man, I…I’m the young master of a third-class aristocratic family! You can’t kill me!”Dylan’s legs turned into jelly in his bone-chilling fright. He wanted to escape but both his legs did notcooperate.

jackie flipped his hand and the black sword in his hand was nowhere to be seen. It had disappeared intothin air.

“I won’t kill you,” commented the indifferent jackie with a tight smile.

Dylan relaxed and smiled when he heard this. “And that’s a wise choice, my brother. It’s always better tohave a friend than an enemy, right? From today onward, you are my brother, and we’ll be best friends.You should know that being friends with a third-class aristocratic family’s young master would onlybenefit you!”

Just as Dylan finished, jackie lifted his heel and slammed it against Dylan, breaking his balls.

“Aaargh!” Dylan immediately knelt in pain. The veins on his forehead popped due to the excruciating painhe was experiencing, and his complexion was extremely pale.

“I said that I won’t kill you, but I didn’t say that I won’t turn you into a eunuch!” jackie smiled coldly andloathingly added, “Now scram, you eunuch. You should stop fantasizing about women with this partinggift!”

“Young man, you…you’re going to regret this! Do you t—think our family is j—just an ordinary one?” Onthe verge of fainting, Dylan gritted his teeth as cold sweat kept appearing on his forehead. Though hestruggled, he managed to get up, ordered a taxi, and left the scene.

“And he still dared threaten me after all that?” jackie laughed. He walked toward the elder and lookeddown at the other party.

“Do whatever you want. If I, Walter Lamington, frown, I’ll give up my surname!” The elder’s name wasWalter Lamington. He laid on the ground and had shallow breathing. However, the look in his eyes wasextremely firm.

The elder was surprised, however, when jackie took out a small pill instead and tossed it at him. “This ismedication to cure your wound—your wound will heal speedily once you eat it. The favor you owed themhas been paid. While you aided him in his despicable quest, you’re a person who values relationshipsand promises. I’m not going to kill you.”

“Thank… Thank you!” Walter gazed at jackie, rather astounded yet perplexed. He never held back whenhe attacked him. After all, he was a seven-star King of War and he thought that jackie would kill him toprevent any troubles in the future. He never anticipated a merciful jackie instead who handed himmedication that could heal his wound instead of ending him.

Walter took the pill after he spoke.

“Thank you so much, jackie. We’ve troubled you so much this time!” Blake walked over and smiled atjackie. She expressed her gratitude once again.

Tianna, on the other hand, fretted at the outcome and softly reminded, “ jackie, you might get into troublefor turning Dylan Wagner into a eunuch.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Chapter 983 Tianna’s warning, however, did not even perturb jackie. “I know,” said jackie. “Their family isa third-class aristocratic family, right? I don’t really care much about these third-class families. You saw it

too, that I’m not afraid of a seven-star King of War. Why would I be afraid of a third-class aristocraticfamily?”

“No, I’m afraid that their family is more than what you think.”

Unexpectedly, Tianna shook her head. “True, the Wagner family is indeed a third-class aristocratic family,but Dylan’s mother, Louisa Lowe belonged to a powerful family of the underground forces. This family isvery powerful, but Louisa’s parents disliked Dylan’s father and disapproved of them. Therefore, theydidn’t pay much attention to Louisa. They have a bad relationship and seldom keep in touch.”

Tianna paused before she explained, “Regardless, Dylan is still Louisa’s parents’ grandson. I believethey’d pay attention to what has happened and won’t ignore it, since it’s a rather serious incident.”

jackie’s face turned slightly solemn hearing Tianna’s words. “Never expected that trash bag would havesuch relationships. Still, I’ve always disliked underground forces. It doesn’t matter if they don’t cause usany trouble; I’ll teach them a lesson if they try anything funny.”

Tianna, anxious at his demeanor, persistently added, ” jackie, I know that you’re very powerful, but youdon’t know how big this underground force is. Not only do they have lots of people, but they have manymasters with them as well. More importantly, they’re not powers from Swallow City—they’re dauntingforces from Gin City!”

“I didn’t think they’d be related to Gin City!” Tianna assumed jackie was intimidated by the newinformation she offered, but he was only momentarily surprised before his expression watered down,completely calm and normal. “It’s okay. No matter what power they are, things will turn out the way theyshould be. I’ve hurt Dylan, and I can’t back away from that. Apart from that, do you think that it’ll make adifference if I go over and apologize? They’d kill me for sure.”

“That’s right!”

Lana smiled bitterly and said, “Alright then. You ladies should head in first—no need to worry about thisor blame yourself about it. It’s jackie’s decision to make the other party a eunuch. It happened, so let itbe.”

“Alright… We’ll head home now.” Blake looked at jackie before walking toward the gate that led to theirvilla with Tianna.

jackie and the remaining duo glanced at the old man on the ground before they left him there andentered their villa.

It was not long until the old man sat up and was shocked at his wound.

It was only a brief moment, yet his wound was almost completely healed. His wound no longer oozedblood as well! The pill jackie gave him was indisputably miraculous.

“Who is this man? Not only does he have such strong fighting power, but the healing pill he gave me isterrifyingly good as well. He’s even unfazed when he’s told that the Wagner family’s young master isrelated to the Gin City forces. Who are they?” Walter frowned, his mind overwhelmed with thoughts.

After sitting by the side for another hour, Walter was surprised to find that the wound on his body hadcompletely healed.

After thinking quietly for a short moment, he walked toward the entrance of jackie’s house.

“I wish to see your master,” said Walter to one of the bodyguards solemnly.

“We saw what happened just now. You can’t defeat our master, but it’s good enough that he spared you.Are you trying to cause trouble again?”

One of the bodyguards gave a tight smile as he ushered, “You should go—”

“No, I’m not here to cause trouble—the previous me is dead. I’m thankful to your master for sparing mylife, and my life belongs to him from now on. I’m willing to serve your master,” declared the serious yetdetermined Walter.

Chapter 984 Walter was brought in to meet jackie.

“You really want to join our family?” questioned jackie as he took out a cigarette, leisurely lighting it up,and smoked. “Think of what you’re getting into. I’ve got bad blood with too many people, and Dylan’smother is related to some underground forces from Gin City. They might come looking for me soon. Areyou still willing to work for me under such circumstances?”

Unexpectedly, Walter nonchalantly replied, “Since when am I, Walter Lamington, ever afraid of death?When I was fighting with you, I understood the difference between our strengths after I vomited blood asa result of your assault, but I never gave in and stood my ground till I nearly died. I’ve made up my mindbefore I came to fight you, knowing that either you or me has to go.”

Walter paused before he added, “I just didn’t expect that you’d spare me, seeing that I went rather all-outon you. I see in you a good man, and it’ll be a pleasure working for you.”

jackie chuckled, satisfied at his answer. Walter was a true man, no doubt. “Since you’ve said so, then I’llagree to it. I’ll be upfront with you though, that the salary I offer is low. What do you think of twentythousand a month?”

“Money doesn’t matter; all I need is food. I’m not lacking money, you see.” Walter arched his hand atjackie. “Thank you, Master, for taking in me regardless of what happened previously. I promise to do mybest.”

“This is great! We have another master in our ranks!” Elaine smiled, elated at the outcome.

“Elaine, bring him away and arrange accommodation for him,” jackie waved his hands and asked Elaineto bring Walter away.

…

Dylan went straight to the hospital by taxi. After the doctor did the diagnostics, they had no other choicebut to undergo a resection operation. Dylan, true enough, became a eunuch.

Not long after the surgery was completed, the Wagner family members took him back and preparedprivate doctors for him.

Looking at Dylan who was lying on a bed, the Wagner family master, Kane Wagner balled his fists tightlywith a stormy expression.

“How dare the bastard do this to my son?! Doesn’t he know that our family is not one to be trifled with?”Kane held his fists so tightly and gritted his teeth tightly.

“A peculiar incident, it is. Although we’re a third-class aristocratic family, those who know our situationwon’t wish to provoke us; this applies to even second-class aristocratic families. After all, everybodyknows that Madam comes from a very strong family!” Another Wagner family’s elder thought about it andmuttered in confusion.

“That bastard’s got guts. I only have one son, and the Wagner family only has one son too. He daredabolish my son and made him into a eunuch! Does he want the Wagner family to end with Dylan?”Louisa was also extremely afraid. The current master of the Wagner family, Kane was already old, andthere was no way for them to bear another child.

The Wagner family only had one lone seedling, yet something so unfortunate happened to him. It wasimpossible for the Wagners to not be furious.

Chapter 985 “Mother, Father… A guy named jackie White did this to me. He stays at Elegant Villa Parkand has occupied about twenty villas there. jackie lives there with the others,” sobbed Dylan to hisparents, lamenting his fate. “Mother, Father, you have to avenge me. I… I can’t be a normal man for therest of my life. I rather die than live like this!”

“Son, you mustn’t have such suicidal thoughts. Don’t worry—we’ll definitely avenge you,” assured Kane.

Louisa, meanwhile, commented, “Ask the seven-star King of War, Walter Lamington to come here.Doesn’t he owe us a favor? It’s time for him to return that favor. It’d be easy for a seven-star King of Warto destroy a small power we’ve never heard of.”

To that, Dylan quickly responded, “Mother, don’t ask Walter to come over—that jackie guy is too much. Ibrought Walter with me when I went to him because that guy killed many of our masters. I never, everthought Walter would fail to contend against jackie, and I think he’s dead from jackie’s sword attack!”

“What?!” All the Wagner family members inhaled sharply, wondering if they heard wrongly. They neverexpected that Dylan had already brought Walter to jackie yet failed to win against him.

“If Walter can’t even beat that guy, none of the masters from our family can defeat him,” came thecomment of one of the Wagners’ elders.

“That’s right. Walter is a seven-star King of War and has extremely strong combat capabilities. If such astrong fighter can’t take him down, we’d fail no matter how many bodyguards we send over!” exclaimedanother middle-aged man.

Kane’s facial expression grew increasingly dark. He thought about it and looked at Louisa. “Honey, we’venever asked your parents for help all these years, and our relationship with them is rather good thesedays. Although they still look down on us, they allowed us to go back for meals during New Years’. So…”

Louisa nodded. “I know what you’re trying to say. I didn’t want to rely on them or beg them previouslywith hopes that we can grow stronger, but for the sake of our son, I’ll call on them.”

Kane stressed once again, “Our opponent this time is so powerful that even a seven-star King of Warfailed to eliminate him. I’m afraid that our opponent’s combat prowess is comparable to an eight-star Kingof War, and it’ll be difficult to fight such a strong master!”

“That’s immensely troublesome,” spoke the serious Louisa. “If that’s the case, we can only ask my fatherto send more people, and they gotta be extraordinarily strong too.”

Both Kane and Louisa asked Dylan to take a rest after they finished their discussion. Louisa exited theroom and quickly called her parents.

Louisa’s parents only had a daughter and a grandson.

Louisa’s parents were extremely angry when they heard what happened. After they assessed thesituation, they personally brought several hundred masters from the Lowe family to avenge theirgrandson.

Kane was relieved when he knew both his parents-in-law were coming over. jackie and his companywere guaranteed goners with so many masters coming over.

They believed that they would be able to avenge their son.

Afraid that jackie and the others would escape, the Wagner family sent many bodyguards to spy onthem. The bodyguards were ready to report to Kane at any time.

Chapter 986 “There’s trouble, Master. I realized that there’s someone monitoring our movements aroundthe house!”

Walter came before jackie the next day, reporting with a solemn expression.

jackie, who was drinking tea in the garden, did not seem to care. He gave a wan smile. “Then who doyou think it is?” he asked.

“It must be from the Wagner family. They were afraid that we would take off. But they didn’t attack usbecause they don’t have proper fighters in their family. They are a third-class aristocratic family after all.Aside from me, their best fighters are those who are the same level as a three-star King of War. That’swhy they don’t dare to attack!

“As for the fighter from the Lowe family, it’ll take him at least a day to rush over from Gin City. That’s whythe Wagner family is keeping tabs on us, they’re afraid that we’ll run away!”

After Walter said all that, he asked jackie, “What should we do now, Master?”

jackie gestured for him to sit down. “Skyler had already told me about this,” he said slowly. “There’snothing to be afraid of. We just won’t go out for these two days and wait for them to come. Don’t worry,we won’t have to run away. It’ll be fine so long as we stay put!”

“All right!”

Walter nodded his head. He felt as though the longer he knew jackie, the less he knew about the man.He only learned that Skyler was an eight-star King of War after he came in, yet a man of his status waswilling to stay by jackie’s side—willing to fight for jackie. The b*stard was probably far stronger than anine-star King of War or was at least as strong as one.

Only, there was no way that there were no rumors about someone as frighteningly strong as him, andthis made Walter confused. Someone like him would have a powerful presence in Gin City, what more aplace like Swallow City.

At that moment, the Chaffman family quickly got the news.

One of the men came before Master Chaffman. “Master, we heard that jackie and his family were notfrom our city,” he said. “They’re probably from another city, but we don’t know which one. Still, they musthave come from outside. We also did some investigations. He provoked the Wagner family recently, andnow their young master is rendered infertile!”

“Really? Dylan had been rendered infertile by jackie?”

Master Chaffman was slightly taken aback after he heard that. “That punk is bold. Not only is he notafraid of us, he actually dared to do something like that to Young Master Wagner…”

Peace, who was standing to the side, loosened a small breath of relief as he heard this. He had beenfortunate; if jackie had been in a bad mood the other day and rendered him infertile as well in a fit ofrecklessness, he would never see the light of day again.

However, Peace quickly thought of something, and his eyes brightened. “Eh, doesn’t the Wagner familyhave a seven-star King of War? Will they find trouble with jackie?”

After he said that, his expression darkened. “Doesn’t seem probable though. There’s an eight-star Kingof War in that punk’s house. Even if the Wagner family send their King of War over, he still wouldn’t be amatch!”

“Master Wagner had sent that seven-star King of War over. I heard that he received a fatal stab wound.He’s most likely dead!”

Chapter 987 The man who made the report could not help but twist his lips into a bitter smile. A fighter asstrong as that would have a significant presence, and plenty of people would be pandering to him. Yet hehad been killed by that punk.

“Hold on. Was the seven-star King of War killed by the eight-star King of War from the White family, orsomeone else?”

Peace quickly thought of something and asked hurriedly.

“He was killed by jackie White!”

The man replied.

When they heard this, Peace exchanged a glance with his father. They both took a sharp intake ofbreath. jackie’s fighting prowess must be no joke. Luckily they had not acted rashly. His fighting ability aswell as that King of War’s were terrifying enough, never mind the masked woman. The woman seemedlike she was no pushover as well.

“ jackie is not easy to deal with. Thank God we didn’t act rashly!”

The old master of the Chaffman family considered the situation, then he spoke, “The Wagner family hasonly one son, and he’s infertile now—it’s a great loss to them. There has not been a child from theWagner family for so many years, and now they probably won’t have a next-generation. That’s why theWagner family will definitely avenge their son. We just need to stand by and watch!”

“Mmhmm. Master Wagner’s wife is from the Lowe family, who happens to be a significant secretpowerhouse in Gin City. They’ll definitely bring plenty of skilled fighters. We just don’t know if the Whitefamily will choose to run away if they find out that the Wagner family is out for them!”

Master Chaffman added after a moment of silence.

“If everything goes well, the people from the Lowe family will be arriving by tomorrow morning. We cango over tomorrow to survey the situation from afar in the pretense of going out shopping. I’m sure thatjackie and his men are done for this time.”

Old Master Chaffman’s lips curved into a cold smile. “After all, Old Master Lowe and his wife are asstrong as nine-star Kings of War. And they have plenty of fighters aside from themselves. There are

probably nearly a hundred people who have the strength of a King of War.”

“Excellent. We won’t need to spare a single man like this, and we’ll get to witness jackie being brought tohis knees. F*ck. I’ll definitely record the entire thing in secret tomorrow for posterity!”

Peace’s heart leaped in delight after he heard all this. He could not kill jackie himself, but the idea that hewould be able to see that man die, made him excited all the same.

However, the only thing he would regret was the two beautiful women jackie had, whose looks were outof this world. He would never get the chance to bed them after this.

Young Master Chaffman never gave up a woman he wanted. Usually, cash was enough to buy them over—so long as he gave enough, they would gladly throw themselves into his arms.

He never thought that he would fail so miserably this time. It was probably the worst failure he had everexperienced in his entire life.

Chapter 988 The next morning, the Chaffman family set out early to a street that was near to jackie and his family’shouse. They quickly found themselves seats at a snack shop, watching the villa before them as they ate.

Anticipation swelled within Peace. He kept staring at the villa’s entrance, now free of chaos. He was wellaware that the peace was temporary—the calm before the storm.

After the clock hit ten, a few men from the Wagner family came over, along with over 200 fighters fromGin City.

“They’re here, they’re here. Quick! Inform the master!”

The two bodyguards noticed the retinue from afar and immediately cried out, running.

jackie made everyone else hide in the house. He took Lana, Skyler, Walter, Pendragon, Dennis, and afew dozen other men to the empty space before the villa’s gates, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

“I never thought you’d be here waiting for us!”

Master Wagner burst into laughter when he saw this.

“Are you the b*stard who dared to do something like that to my grandson? Do you have a death wish?”

There was an old man whose hair had gone completely white. He slapped a hand against the head ofthe stone lion at the entrance, which was at least half as tall as a man.

A sharp crack rang out, and that frightening stone lion broke apart, shattering into little pieces.

“What!”

Walter could not help but exclaimed when he saw that. The old man looked like he was giving a lightslap, but there was so much strength in his hand. It seemed that he was an extremely formidable fighter.

“How are you still alive, Walter?”

Kane huffed after he noticed Walter’s presence, “Why are you standing on their side? Are you telling methat you wish to make an enemy out of the Wagner family?”

“B*stard! You traitorous snake!”

Louisa grew even more furious and snarled at Walter.

Walter was angry as well after he heard that. “What are you talking about, Kane Wagner? Do you wishfor me to die?” he snapped. “I owed the Wagner family debt, and now that I’ve cleared my debt, I don’towe you anything anymore. I didn’t sell myself to you. It’s my choice to follow jackie White!”

“Fine. You asked for it, Walter. You can’t blame us for anything that happens since you have a deathwish!”

Louisa gave a cold smile. “It seems like you’re not aware of just how strong my family is. We have twofighters who are as strong as nine-star Kings of War, and there are nearly a hundred men who have thestrength of Kings of War. How are you going to beat all of us?”

“If that’s what you say, Walter, it seems like we’ll just have to get rid of you!”

Kane also huffed at Walter.

“Since I’ve already decided to follow Master jackie, I’ve set aside my fear of death long ago.”

Walter lifted his chin, speaking without an ounce of care.

“I’ll kill this traitor first!”

The old man from the Lowe family clenched his fists. He stamped a foot against the ground andlaunched himself straight at Walter.

“No way you’ll kill one of my men without me saying so!”

jackie flashed a mirthless smile and clenched his fist. He slammed a foot against the ground and rushedout.

“Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll be happy to oblige!”

The old man gave a wry smile. Bloodlust surged in his gaze as he saw jackie rushing forward. He threwa fist toward the younger man.

“Back at you!”

In the face of his opponent’s powerful strike, jackie threw out his own fist without hesitation, and theirattacks clashed.

Chapter 989 A powerful force erupted, and a frightening wave of energy rushed out from the fist, a result of ashockwave.

“What!”

The old man quickly sensed the terrifying amount of strength in jackie’s fist. Terror filled his eyes.

He flew a few meters back before stopping. Blood spat out of his mouth.

“Dad!”

Louisa cried out when she saw that the old man was injured, not believing the sight before her.

Her father was as strong as a nine-star King of War. Nearly everyone deferred to him in Gin City, yet hewas injured by just that one blow from the punk.

“I’ll forget everything that happened if all of you leave now. But if you don’t, and if you keep causingtrouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

jackie laced his fingers behind his back, speaking in a lofty tone.

“What should we do? This punk…”

The old woman immediately stepped forward and asked the old man.

“I’m fine. It’s just that he has a good arm!”

The old man glared at jackie and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “It shouldn’t be a problemfor us to kill them, considering our numbers,” he said. “This punk just wants to scare us off!”

The old woman nodded her head. “I think so too. And he’s even giving us a chance. He wouldn’t besaying anything of that sort if he truly had the ability. He’s afraid to get into a fight with us!”

“That’s right. He must have thrown all of his strength into that one punch earlier, and Dad hadn’texpected him to be so strong, so he didn’t use his full strength! He only got injured because heunderestimated that punk!”

Louisa nodded her head as well, thinking that her parents’ deduction made sense.

“Seems like you chose death!”

jackie chuckled and spoke in a cold voice after he heard their discussion.

“Did you really think I was frightened? Did you think you could scare us?”

The old man chuckled. He flipped his palm, and a sword appeared in his grip. “You’re strong, but youmight not necessarily know how to use sword aura!”

The old woman flipped her palm as well, another sword appearing in her grip. “Don’t forget, you littlebrat, that both of us are as strong as nine-star Kings of War,” she said, a cold smile on her lips. “Can youbeat the two of us alone? Besides, out of the 200 odd men we have here, almost a hundred are asstrong as Kings of War. How can you hope to match us?”

“That’s right. They can’t beat us with the few people they have now!”

A young man stood up, a sword in his hand. He hollered with a ferocious bite to his tone.

“Then why don’t you try us?”

Lana chuckled and flipped her palm. A purple sword appeared in her grip.

“That sword!”

Walter took a sharp intake of breath when he saw the sword. Was that not the weapon of choice of LanaZechs, the Goddess of War? And this masked woman was named Lana as well.

He had not thought much about it before, thinking that they happened to share the same name. Nowonly did he realize that the masked woman was, in fact, Lana Zechs.

He had heard long ago that she was a beauty as well. Why did he not put two and two together?

He looked at jackie. Walter grew even more excited. There was only one man who could make theGoddess of War follow him—and that was the Supreme Warrior!

Chapter 990 Walter was extremely excited when the idea appeared in his head— jackie, the Supreme Warrior! Noone had ever seen his face before, and even his name was not known. Yet he had the chance to meetthe Supreme Warrior, to witness his skills and fight alongside him.

He would have never dreamed of something like that, but now he was in such close proximity with theSupreme Warrior.

If jackie was truly the Supreme Warrior, he would be able to take out all these people in front of him withease. Plus, he would not need to even use his full strength—it would be as easy as breathing for him.

However, he knew that the Supreme Warrior was someone who liked to keep a low profile. It was likelythe reason why he had kept his identity a secret in the first place. No one knew his name all this while,although he had contributed greatly to the nation.

“Walter, why are you staring into space?”

Skyler noticed that Walter was staring at jackie, and palpable excitement flashed in the man’s eyes, sohe chided the younger man.

“Oh. I’m sorry!”

Walter snapped back into his senses and quickly flipped his palm, taking out his own sword.

“Go for the head first!”

The old man attacked jackie first, slashing his sword.

He clearly had good technique. The sword aura was practically a solid object, emanating a sense ofsheer ruthlessness. The attack was amplified tenfold from the technique alone.

“Hmph!”

In the face of this attack, jackie simply flashed a wan smile. He flung his hand outward, and another shotof sword aura forth.

The old woman was no slouch either. She slashed an air blade toward jackie, just as frightening as herhusband’s.

jackie threw out another air blade toward her.

He was fast, but the strength of the blades was not compromised at all. They were just as sharp, just asfierce—and they reached a good few meters before they finally dissipated. It was a powerful attack.

Soon enough, jackie’s air blades clashed with the couple’s. The resulting shockwave sent ripples thateven shook the earth. A frightening crash rang out at the contact point, as though thunder were clappingright before them.

“They’re fighting. Fantastic!”

In the distance, Peace and the others were extremely excited when they saw the fight breaking out.jackie would be done for this time.

Unfortunately, he quickly noticed that the old couple’s attacks were quickly blocked by jackie’scounterattack. They even formed aftershocks, and the excessive energy bounced back toward the oldcouple.

The old man and the old woman flew backward, their faces as pale as death.

On Lana’s side, there were no men who were a match for her. She threw a few air blades out, and plentyof her opponents fell onto the ground, dead.

“No way!”

The old man and woman were so shocked at the sight that all color leeched from their cheeks. Therehad been quite a few fighters who were as strong as five or six-star Kings of War, and they had all beenkilled by that masked woman. They did not even have the chance to fight back against someone asstrong as that.

“Die!”

Skyler and Walter sprang into action after seeing so many fighters being killed. Adrenaline filling theirveins, they sprang forth into the array.

“No way. The four of them are so strong!”

Chapter 991 The old couple was even more frightened when they saw their men falling one by one around them. Nowthey finally understood that jackie had truly been giving them a chance to live.

Still, it was too late for regrets.

“Die!”

In a flash, jackie appeared between the old couple, sweeping his sword in a circular motion. The actionformed a frightening air blade; it caught the light in a furious glint.

The old couple and nearly ten of the Lowe family’s fighters were all caught within the attack’s radius.

All of them flew backward and landed on the ground with heavy thumps, no longer breathing.

“Dad! Mom!”

Louisa released a shriek when she saw her parents killed so easily. Only now did she realize that it wasa foolish decision to bring her parents along to exact revenge. Not only did she not get her revenge, butshe also led them to their deaths.

In a moment, nearly a hundred of their men had died; only half were left.

“No–no way!”

Some of the Lowe family’s fighters shook their heads vigorously. They were terrified at the sight of thecorpses strewn all over the ground.

“Run!”

jackie slashed another two air blades, and over a dozen men fell to the ground. Someone could not takeit anymore, and wheeled around and sprinted off.

Lana and the others took a few steps forward and killed more fighters.

Kane and Louisa were killed as well. Only about a dozen men were left at the end, escaping with everyinch of their remaining strength. They were only able to live because jackie and the others did not goafter them.

On the other entrance, plenty of people from the housing estate had sneaked over to watch thecommotion. The fight had caused a huge ruckus and attracted their attention.

Among the crowd, Blake Knight and Tiana Scott heaved sighs of relief when they saw that jackie hadclenched victory.

They had never thought that the Lowe family would find them so quickly—and they certainly had neverexpected that jackie and his fighters were so strong. They had killed so many fighters from the Lowefamily in a flash.

The Lowe family was powerful, and they had plenty of people. However, they had mustered all theirtroops for this, and so many of them had died. The Lowe family would be reduced into nothing now.

Furthermore, the Lowe family’s enemies would definitely take the chance to take revenge once the newsreached Gin City, completely destroying the Lowe family.

Of course, the Wagner family was done for as well. The head couple of the Wagner family, as well as afew of their elders, had all died here. The Wagner family would be no more.

“No way. The Lowe family had so many fighters, and they were all killed? And only a few bodyguardsfrom jackie’s side were injured, but none of them died. Is this how it’s all ending?”

Peace wondered if this was all a dream as he watched everything from afar.

He glanced at his grandfather and father, who was sitting next to him. Their expressions were that ofutter shock as well.

“He–he’s too strong!”

Old Man Chaffman wiped a layer of sweat filming at his forehead. “We can’t afford to provoke him,” hetold his son. “Remember this, do not provoke them no matter what!”

“With these few men, they don’t have to be afraid of even a first-class aristocratic family in the City ofMartial Arts,” Master Chaffman added, “what more a second-class aristocratic family!”

Chapter 992 “Take care of the bodies!”

jackie’s lips twisted into a bitter smile when he saw the bodies all over the ground. He had wanted to findthe dragon scale without creating a ruckus, and he had never wanted to cause trouble in the first place.

He never thought that it would end up like this.

The Wagner family was dead. Furthermore, plenty of fighters from Gin City had died there as well. Itseemed that plenty of powerful families from Swallow City would have their eyes on him and his familynow.

However, now that he thought about it, it might not be a bad thing after all. At least the families who hadset up a trap for him would be more cautious of him after this incident.

“I was so scared with so many people coming at once. Thank God all of you are strong. We would havedied otherwise!”

Fiona and the others emerged from the house as they saw that the bodyguards were cleaning up thebodies.

Fiona patted her chest. It was evident that she was still recovering from the shock.

“You were amazing, dad. I want to be as strong as you when I grow up!”

Kylie ran over, staring at jackie with admiration, her eyes large and round and beautiful.

jackie was speechless for a moment at the sight. “Why did you allow Kylie to come?” he said to Fionaand the others. “We haven’t even finished cleaning up here. A child shouldn’t be seeing all this!”

“What’s wrong with that? Didn’t you yourself say that this was the City of Martial Arts, where plenty offamilies are in a constant tussle of power, with some rising to eminence and others fading into obscurity?Plenty of people die every day. It’s normal. How can you expect her to face hardships in life if she’s neverexperienced it herself?”

Surprisingly, Fiona replied, rolling her eyes at jackie.

He was speechless and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“that does make sense. And she’s not the least bit afraid! Kylie is so young, but she’s so wise!”

Skyler laughed and could not help but playfully pinch Kylie’s cheek.

Ever since jackie had come back, everyone was able to have full meals and wear nice clothes. Now,Kylie had put on some weight, her cheeks were pinchable than before. She had also turned fairer andwas growing more adorable by the day, stealing the hearts of more and more people.

“Hmph. Basically, I want to be as strong as you when I grow up!”

Kylie harrumphed and folded her arms across her chest, puffing herself to make herself look bigger.

Everyone could not help but smile at her antics.

Soon enough, Caleb and the others from the Quinton family caught wind of what had happened.

Hunter was shocked when he heard this. “My goodness. They had two fighters who were as strong asnine-star Kings of War, and they were all killed. How can they be so strong! Luckily we felt thatsomething was off and did not go looking for trouble. We would all be killed otherwise!”

“That’s right. They’re all so strong. Who knew that there were four skilled fighters among them—especially jackie. I heard that he had killed the two fighters who were as strong as nine-star Kings of War.Furthermore, he did not do so much as waste a single breath!”

Although they knew of the situation for a few hours now, Caleb was still reeling from shock.

The Wagner family was far stronger than the Quinton family. They were a true third-class aristocraticfamily, and they were gone, just like that. The Lowe family, meanwhile, was a powerful undergroundfamily from Gin City, and they too were wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Chapter 993 Soon enough, this news spread to every corner of the City of Martial Arts—Swallow City.

“Pa, Ma, Grandpa, Grandma, I—I’ll avenge you…”

On the other hand, outside of Swallow City, Dylan brought a few bodyguards with him, heading towardthe direction of Gin City in a car.

After three days, Lana came before jackie. Joy radiated through Lana that her face could hardly containher happiness.

“Master, I have great news! We finally have news about the Dragon scale!”

Lana stared at jackie with her eyes filled with excitement and her tone cheerful. “There is a huge villaoutside this City of Martial Arts, and I heard that a secret auction will be held in that huge villa tomorrownight. A filthy rich hidden figure, who has secretly contacted quite a few rich families in the city, intendedto gather all the prominent families and businessmen to attend the auction they organized. There’s onlyone item to be auctioned and that is the Dragon Scale!”

“Hmmm. Is that so? What do you think about this matter then?”

jackie’s brows knitted as he queried.

“In my opinion, as long as the problem can be solved with money, then it’s not a problem. Othersprobably think that the Dragon scale is something rare and worthy to be kept in their private museum for

collection. They’re just curious!”

Lana paused for a while and gave this matter a further thought, then she continued, “So, that means theDragon scale doesn’t really mean much to them hence they won’t spend so much money bidding for it!”

Lana halted again before continuing, “Therefore, I think we can spend some money and bid for it!”

jackie bobbed his head as he was listening to Lana’s analysis. “Alright then. I’ll go with you tomorrow andhave a look. But since it’s a secret auction and the other party invited others under the table, I don’t thinkit’d be easy for us to get in, right?”

Lana nodded. “Yup, indeed. The other party scanned through the list and only invited those who arecapable to participate. The public can’t join. You must have their invitation card to enter the secretauction. Otherwise, it’s impossible to get it!”

“Hmmm… It looks like the only way to get into that auction is to get hold of somebody’s invitation cardthen!”

After a moment of silence, jackie finally opened his mouth and suggested.

“I have a plan in mind. Also, I heard that an invitation card allows only two person to enter, and somefamilies have more than one card; they have two or three invitation cards! Those families can have fourto six members to go to this secret auction. My plan is this, we can approach one of these families andbuy an invitation card from them, what do you think?”

Lana smiled gently. She had done her homework well before approaching jackie about this matter.

“Sounds like a good plan!”

jackie chuckled.

“It just so happens that I managed to find out that the Chaffman family has two such invitation cards.Let’s go to them and buy the card from them, how about that?”

Lana suggested.

“Buy? No way. Peace Chaffman tried to hit on you and Selena a couple of times. So, I’d not spend asingle penny on his card. I’d just ask him to give us one!”

jackie chortled then he looked at the time. “It’s late, let’s go now. We will first get the invitation card andthen I’ll go to the villa tomorrow with others.”

jackie and Lana immediately drove toward the direction of the huge villa where the Chaffmans lived.

“Master, Master, it’s bad! That guy is coming, That guy is coming!”

One of the bodyguards who was on duty at the gate ran into the house and reported loudly when theChaffmans were having their dinner.

Chapter 994 “What guy? Which guy?”

The head of the Chaffman family yelled at the bodyguard who rushed into the dining room. He washaving a good time drinking with the family and was abruptly disturbed. He naturally felt a flicker ofirritation and his forehead puckered.

“The guy—the guy, jackie… Didn’t we witness them kill a lot of people from the Wagner family and theLowe family the other day? The guy from that day came here with the woman in a mask!”

The bodyguard’s voice trembled. He was once proud of being the bodyguard of the Chaffman family. Hehad a lot of confidence in the Chaffman because, in common circumstances, nobody dared to offend

such a prominent and powerful family which was why Young Master Chaffman was so arrogant andsnobbish.

However, the two people who came to the Chaffman’s residence today sent chills down his spine; hewas weighed down by dread. This was because the two’s combat prowess was too terrifying. If he hadnot known all the names of the Nine Great Gods of War, he would have suspected jackie to be one ofthem!

“What the heck? Why are those two here?”

The head of Chaffman was startled at the news that he shot up from the chair. He was sober all of thesudden that he stopped feeling tipsy or drunk.

“Dad, are they here to seek revenge? But, but, didn’t they already beat me up last time? Don’t tell mehe’s here for his woman again!”

Peace had been behaving well lately and had not been fooling around. But now after hearing that jackiehad come to his house with Lana, his face went white in an instant and his hands turned cold andclammy.

Old Master Chaffman uttered after thinking for a while, “It’s highly unlikely they came here for that matter,if so, he would have come here two days ago, why now? Besides, the Chaffman family is not an ordinaryfamily, we have so many elite fighters, hence if they were here for trouble, why only the two of them?Why didn’t they gather the other four skilled fighters?

The head of the Chaffman family, on the other hand, was worried beyond words. “Pa, what do you know?Only two of them came which means they know that they’re able to defeat us with just the two of them. Ifthat’s the case, don’t you think it’s more petrifying?” The head of Chaffman gulped loudly and thencontinued, “Have you not seen with your own eyes that day? jackie possessed greater combat prowessthan the old man, and the old woman of Lowe family did! The old couple of the Lowe family is on par with

a nine-star King of War! But what happened in the end? Both were killed by jackie! Now, you tell me, howterrifying jackie is?”

The corner of the Old Master Chaffman’s mouth twitched uncontrollably at the information.

However, in the end, he still shook his head to disagree. “No, if they’re looking for trouble, they wouldhave just come in and killed all of us. Why are they waiting outside and allowing the bodyguard to comein and report?”

Old Master Chaffman then wheeled his head and faced the bodyguard. “Go out and let the two in.Remember, you must be polite and respectful when you speak to them, understand?”

“Yes, Sir!”

The bodyguard bowed and went off. They were two strong people; how could he disrespect them? Hewould not even know how and when he died if he really did offend them. The bodyguard thought tohimself.

Soon, jackie and Lana were brought to the Chaffman family by the bodyguard.

“Hey, my old friend, jackie! I truly apologize for my carelessness that I didn’t come to greet you. I didn’tknow you were coming, I’m truly sorry!”

Master Chaffman studied the two and bowed before them while apologizing. Then he quickly turned toone of the servants and commanded, “Why are you still standing there? Go get new plates and bowls!They will join us for dinner and a couple of drinks! I’ll drink tonight with these strong and powerfulpeople!”

“Oh, Master Chaffman, stop it, you’re being too kind! We’re not strong nor powerful!”

jackie chuckled and bowed to greet the other party as well.

“No, my friend, you’re being too modest! The episode that day has spread all over the City of MartialArts, or at least the families in this vicinity are all aware of it!”

Chapter 995 Old Master Chaffman chuckled with a wide grin on his face.

jackie did not bother with all the formality and went straight into the topic. “Old Master Chaffman, I’m herefor some matter. As for dinner and drinking, I don’t think it’s necessary. After all, I had some unpleasantmoments with your grandson before. So I don’t think I can enjoy the dinner or drinking at all!”

“It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!”

Peace immediately chimed in with an awkward smile. “That incident was purely a misunderstanding. Iwas ignorant and rude, that’s why it happened. But I really have to say this, that the two Mrs. Whites aretruly beauties. jackie, you’re blessed to have both of them as your wives. I’m envious!”

jackie’s face immediately sank at his comments. He retorted with a cold but controlled voice, “PeaceChaffman, first of all, don’t call me jackie and don’t you dare look at my wife anymore. For trash like you,I don’t want to have any kind of relationship with you!”

jackie did not even spare the other party’s face at all, even when the other party was from a prominentsecond-class family in Swallow City. Peace’s face turned red; he was embarrassed that he could not waitto find a crack in the ground and hide his head into it!

Lana—who was standing beside jackie—listened to the exchange and her face was immediately kissedpink. She did not know that she would be mistaken as jackie’s wife. How blessed was this?

“I’ll be straightforward. I’m here for something serious. I heard that tomorrow night, you’re going to attendan auction held by some anonymous organization, right?”

jackie fixed his glares at the Chaffmans.

The head of the Chaffman family nodded in return. “Yes, you’re right. We only received the invitation lastnight, I didn’t expect you to know about it so soon. It seems that nothing can be hidden from you, Mr.White!”

“I’m merely a nobody who just moved to Swallow City not long ago. How could I compare myself with asecond-class family like yours?”

jackie chortled then added, “My motive today is very simple. I know that you have two invitation cards forthat auction, how about giving one of those to me? I don’t need two, one is enough. It shouldn’t be aproblem, right?”

“Wow, Mr. White is interested in the Dragon scale? I didn’t see that coming. Well. No problem, we havetwo cards, and it’s fine to share one with you!”

Master Chaffman flipped his palm and an invitation card suddenly appeared on his hand. He thenhanded it to jackie.

“Master Chaffman, such a pronto! You indeed possessed the characteristics of the family head! I thankyou for the card. Also, I hope that Master Chaffman and the others will keep this as a secret!”

“Now, may we excuse ourselves!” jackie let out a warm laugh, bowed, and thanked Master Chaffmanbefore the two left the residence.

“Wow, I didn’t expect them to give us the card so easily! It seems like Master Chaffman is not indecisive!”

After leaving the Chaffman’s residence, on the way back, Lana praised Master Chaffman from thebottom of her heart.

jackie, however, smiled dryly. “They’re not fools. That day during the battle with the Lowe and theWagner family, I noticed their presence; they were watching the fight from afar, from the other side of the

store. Although the Chaffman owned a lot of elite fighters, deep inside they know that even if they’vegathered all these strong fighters, they wouldn’t stand a chance against us!”

“What? They were watching us? I didn’t expect that!”

Lana dazed.

Chapter 996 “Strange, jackie came here specifically to ask for the invitation card. This means that this guy isinterested in the Dragon scale!”

As soon as the two left, Master Chaffman could not help but mutter aloud, “Now we only have one cardleft, so only two of us are able to go to the auction tomorrow. We’re fortunate that jackie did not ask forboth cards!”

“But, how did jackie know about this? They’re not ordinary people, aren’t they?”

Peace’s brows snapped together, with a puzzled look on his face. “The secret organization sent us theinvitation cards. How did he find out about this? This means that the other party must have beensearching and gathering information about the Dragon scale. Otherwise, how is it possible for jackie toknow about the auction so quickly?”

“This is so weird! Why would he be so interested in the Dragon scale? While we’re still speculatingwhether this Dragon scale is a real thing or not, they’ve already investigated it thoroughly. They musthave interest in it a long time ago!”

Old Master Chaffman, too, felt that jackie’s interest in the Dragon scale was certainly not on a whim.Otherwise, he would not have come to them specifically for the invitation card!

“Hmmm…they just moved here not too long ago. Oh, now I see it! Not too long ago, there was newsabout the Dragon Scale and then after there was no news about the Dragon Scale at all. Nobody knows

anything about it. But jackie and the others moved here…hmm… they must have heard the news andcame here for the Dragon scale!”

Suddenly, Peace understood the situation as though some wise spirits possessed his body. “We’ve neverheard about jackie and others before; they must have come here for the Dragon scale. And since they’refrom the other cities and they came here for the Dragon scale, what does this mean? This means thatthis Dragon scale is real! Since it is real, there might really be a dragon in this world!”

“What? Dragon is real?”

Old Master Chaffman was startled at the information that his eyes widened. “This thing has always beena legend, none of us have seen it. I initially thought that this secret auction about the Dragon Scale is afraud to lure us and cheat our money. But if our guesses are right, this means that the Dragon scale isreal! There’s really such a thing in this world!”

“Also, Pa, on the invitation card, it writes that this Dragon scale possesses a miraculous effect, if youwere to soak it in tea and drink it every day, you can live longer! It’s not one or two years longer butdecades! If the Dragon scale really exists, doesn’t that mean that the miraculous effect is real too?”

Master Chaffman soon thought of something and excitement suddenly glowed brightly on his face.

Old Master Chaffman’s eyes, too, revealed signs of excitement after hearing the miraculous effect ofdragon scale. “If this is true, then we must try to bid for this item tomorrow! After all, auctions are allabout money! It’s a wealth competition!”

Master Chaffman bobbed his head in agreement. “Yes, a lot of prominent families must be thinking thatthere is no such thing as dragon scale, not to mention its miraculous effect that was written on the card.They must be thinking that it’s fake and a fraud. And some of them merely want to get it as a collection.So, they certainly wouldn’t and cannot afford to spend so much on it. In that sense, our chances to getthe Dragon scale is incredibly high!”

“I’m afraid it’s not that easy!”

To everyone’s surprise, Peace—who was drinking silently at the side—suddenly interrupted with a loudlaugh. “If jackie and his men came here all the way from other cities solely for this Dragon scale, thenthey are determined to get it. Hence, jackie will definitely compete fiercely with us in the auction!”

“Humph! This is an auction, the only thing that matters is money, and not fighting ability. So, what are youafraid of? As long as we have money and the other party doesn’t, then it’ll be our show!”

Old Master Chaffman could not wait to get the dragon scale. It would be wonderful if he could live a fewmore decades!

“What I fear is even if we bid for the Dragon scale and got it in the end, the other party will come andseize it. In that case, we’re no match for him!”

Peace let out a dry smile. “The only families that are not afraid of him could only be some first-classfamilies in this city, I guess!”

Old Master Chaffman was rendered speechless. What Peace said was true; if they were to get thedragon scale successfully in the auction, and jackie came and asked for it, they would have no choicebut hand it over to jackie.

Chapter 997 The next day, some of the families who were invited to this secret auction were not interested at all in thedragon scale, and some even thought that it was a fraud. Hence, quite a number of those prominentfamilies did not go to the huge villa outside the city.

But most of the invited families wanted to find out the truth of dragon scale; they brought a fewbodyguards with them and went to the huge villa outside the city.

More and more people were gathered outside the villa, however, the owner of the villa did not open thegates, instead, the owner made them wait outside the villa.

“Who the heck organized this auction? How could the organizer make us all wait outside and not evengive us a place to sit! How arrogant!”

An old man from the crowd huffed angrily.

“Damn right! The organizer only gave us three invitation cards, how are my bodyguards going to get in?Only six of us can get in!”

Another middle-aged man—who stood beside the old man—could not help but cursed out loud. Hebrought tons of bodyguards with him to here, only to find out the rules. This made him upset.

“Hey, Young Master Norton, look over there! Can you see that beauty? I’ve never met her before, isn’tshe attractive?”

On the other side of the crowd, there were a few rich young masters gathered together, chilling andsmoking cigarettes. One of them noticed Lana in the crowd and his eyes fixated on her, never turningaway.

Young Master Norton looked at the direction pointed by his friend; his eyes brightened up. “Holy f*ck!That chick’s body is so damn amazing! Look at the slender yet curvy thighs. I bet all men would be headover heels for her!”

“Young Master Norton, you may not have met that woman and man yet but they’re not someone youshould mess with. Have you heard of the news where all the members of the Lowe family and theWagner family were murdered? You must’ve heard about it, right? They’re the ones who did it!”

One of the young masters chortled bitterly as he uttered to the other young masters.

“It looks like she’s a thorny rose—a beautiful woman who can’t be touched!”

After hearing the news, Young Master Norton could not help but mock with a bitter laugh. He was ayoung master of a first-class aristocratic family, so naturally many pretty women would offer themselvesto him as though he was a magnet that attracted women effortlessly. However, since he had met somany pretty women, common pretty women would not catch his eyes at all; his aesthetic taste towardwomen was naturally heightened.

However, he never expected to meet such a beautiful woman like Lana tonight; that this woman had litup the soul in his eyes. Well. It seemed that a trip to the outskirts tonight was not in vain at all!

Soon enough, the crowd grew bigger and bigger, and several staff members of the auction came out tothe entrance gate, and then stood still in two rows.

One of the guys with thick eyebrows and sharp eyes uttered aloud, “Attention, please! We apologize formaking everyone wait for a long time. Now we’ll open up the gates and let everyone in. Please line uphere, and remember, one invitation only allows two people to go in, the remaining will have to waitoutside!”

The crowd lined up in pairs as requested by the staff, then handed the invitation card and entered thevilla.

“Let’s go!”

jackie threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it fiercely to put out the fire. Only then he strodetoward the entrance with Lana.

Chapter 998 After jackie handed the card to the staff, he and Lana entered the villa and came into a nicely decoratedhall.

On the side of the hall, a stage was built temporarily for this auction and there were stools for the peopleto sit.

The light was dim, and the atmosphere was eerie; the crowd could not help but frown.

The hall was soon filled with people—nearly a hundred of them. Then an old man wearing a charcoalblack robe and a mask on his face walked up to the stage slowly.

The old man’s blond and shiny hair caught Lana’s eyes; her face immediately dulled and sank. “Is thisorganizer from America?” Lana whispered to jackie.

jackie’s brows snapped together at the scene before him. “How come? How did the Dragon scale fall intothe hands of the people of America?”

At this moment, once jackie finished his last sentence, hundreds of black-clothed people came into thehall from the front doors and side doors, surrounding everyone in the center of the hall.

“What the…”

The situation of being surrounded by hundreds of bulky, black-clothed men had the prominent familiesfeeling worried.

“Oh, everyone, please stay calm. They’re here today to maintain the order and help with the auction.Don’t have to worry!” The old man on the stage opened his mouth with a warm laugh and his armsextended, signalling everyone not to panic.

The old man then clapped his hands, gesturing to the staff to bring out the item. A female usher walkedup to the stage with a plate in her hands. On top of the plate, there was a golden scale.

“That’s the legendary Dragon scale?”

All gazes with sparkles in them were fixed on the dragon scale on the plate.

“I guess so? It looks like fish scales! I can’t tell if it’s real or fake but it’s really huge, almost as big as apalm!”

Another man from the crowd muttered with overwhelming emotion in his voice.

“ jackie…”

Lana was bursting with joy that her eyes were full of excitement.

“It’s the Dragon scale, make sure we get it!” jackie nodded to confirm its truthfulness.

When he thought of it, his fists clenched tightly. Without this piece of dragon scale, he could not advanceand further elevate his overall combat power; he could not take his strength to another level. This dragonscale seemed to have become a tangled knot in his heart.

The current jackie was at a critical juncture of breaking through his combat prowess. His heart hadlonged to retrieve this dragon scale.

“Ladies and gentlemen, look, this is the legendary Dragon scale!”

The old man chortled warmly then added, “I believe many of you are here just to experience somethingnew, and most of you don’t even know how precious this Dragon scale is, and how useful it is! This is notordinary treasure like rare gemstones; it is a real treasure!”

“Old man, how can you prove that it’s a real treasure? Even if it’s a real dragon scale, how can you provethat it has the miraculous effect of prolonging human life in addition to being somewhat collectible? Didn’tyou say that it has such an effect?”

At this point of time, a young master of a family stood up and spilled out his question gently, with hishands behind his back.

Chapter 999 “He’s right! You have to prove it and tell us more if you wanna get money from us in this auction!”

Another young master echoed with a sarcastic tone. “I came over here today merely to see somethingnew. I’m a young master of a prominent family; I have other priorities, you know? And there’s just oneitem in today’s auction, that’s the Dragon scale. I came here for it, so you better don’t disappoint me!”

“This young master is right! We’ll certainly not make your money go to waste! It’ll be worth it!”

The old man of America who was on the stage laughed out loud at the young master’s comment. “Ibelieve this is nothing new for everyone, that in this world, everyone is always seeking for improvementand enhancement in their combative area; Everyone wishes to become a master of martial arts or eventhe ultimate grandmaster of martial arts of the era! The real strong fighter acquired the techniques ofenhancement and only with the knowledge of those techniques, only then one can become the realultimate strong fighter.”

Everyone nodded their head after listening to the old man’s speech. As citizens of the City of Martial Arts,they understood this point clearly.

The old man opened his mouth once again and spilled the words in a slow manner, “And only a realstrong fighter is able to control the Chi in their body and release it and use it to attack. Such strongfighters are rare, and we see them as someone who has surpassed the level of the ultimate grandmasterof martial arts; such a person is basically considered a demi-god! Because they can fly in the air!”

At this time, an old man from the crowd stood up from his chair and jeered, “Why are you telling us aboutthat? Who doesn’t know about that! In general, those common elite fighters in our families are like themajors and the marshals from the military; and the elders are like the kings and queens of war; and theNine Great Gods of War, heh, they’re the demigods! Am I right?”

“Pretty much. They’re called Gods of War in Daxia, but in terms of their combat prowess, they are prettymuch at the demi-god level!”

“There are some demi-god-like fighters in the City of Martial Arts, but they are rare. Fighters of the levelof Kings of War are slightly more!”

The old man on the stage bobbed his head in agreement. Then he faced the crowd and threw outanother question, “Then do you know, what is the level above the demi-god level?”

Puzzlement and confusion were plastered on the crowd’s faces.

“Well. Not sure about that!”

Some shook their heads.

“I did hear about it before!”

The previous old man from the crowd once again uttered, “It’s said to be a true god. In fact, from thename of it, you can know how strong, powerful, and terrifying the combat prowess of the true god is. Alevel lower is demi-god, and the ultimate level is true god, naturally true god level is way more powerfulthan demi-god level!”

“You’re so right, Mister!”

The old man from America who was in charge of hosting the auction said, “We all know that after the warbetween America and Daxia, Nine Great Gods of War are born and there is another existence abovethese Nine Great Gods of War, that’s the Supreme Warrior!”

A middle-aged man from the crowd suddenly stood on his feet and yelled excitedly, “Are you—are yousaying that this Supreme Warrior’s combat prowess is at the true god level?”

The old man on the stage chortled. “There are too few human beings who have reached the true godlevel. And I guess most of you don’t know that in this world, there are many hidden strong, and powerfulfamilies. They live in the deep mountains and away from the public. And most of the true god fighters arehidden in these families. But, these hidden families will not mingle with peasants like us nor intervenewith the commoners’ lives.”

The old man paused for a moment before continuing, “If I’m guessing correctly, the Supreme Warrior ofDaxia has not reached the true god-level either. He is already at the peak of the demi-god level and isabout to break through to reach the true god level. This piece of Dragon’s scale is exactly what fell off ofhim!”

The corners of jackie’s mouth twitched awkwardly at the old man’s speech, and his face turned unsightly.

jackie’s eyes were stoic and gloomy at the same time. Who the heck was this old man? How could heknow so much about him? He even guessed correctly about his combat prowess level. jackie did try tobreak through the demi-god level several times recently, however, unfortunately, he was not able toreach the true god level.

He thought this fallen piece of dragon scale was exactly the reason behind him not being able tobreakthrough!

Chapter 1000 “Are you joking? This Dragon scale fell off of a person? Old man, we may not even fully believe it whenyou say this fish-scale-like thing is a Dragon scale, and now you’re telling me that this Dragon scale felloff of a person’s body?”

Someone from the crowd could not help but mock uncontrollably, “You’re making up stories so that youcould increase the value of this Dragon scale, aren’t you? But we’re no fool. Your story is too ridiculous,and we’ll not believe you. I’m afraid today you can’t sell this scale off for much money!”

Another man stood up as well. “Old man, why are you telling us all these? Now I know there is one levelhigher than the semi-god level, which is the true god level. Person of true god-level should be alreadytaking the top position of humanity, right? But what does this have to do with you auctioning this Dragonscale?”

“Of course, there is a tight connection! The person who had this dragon scale had been desiring abreakthrough in his combat prowess, and this dragon scale fell off of him, hence, it is naturally nourishedby the spiritual energy of the person, as well as, absorbing the spiritual force of the earth and heaven.This Dragon scale is a real treasure!”

The old man chuckled nonchalantly. “But, if you guys really think that our motive today is to auction theDragon scale off, then you are all idiots! Hahaha!” The old man jeered cunningly.

“Oi, Old man, what do you mean? Are you fooling us? Since you’ve invited us all here, why don’t youauction it off? Making our trip here for nothing?”

Another middle-aged man shot up from his seat and yelled angrily.

“Motherf*cker! You’re playing us around, aren’t you? Well then. If you don’t auction it, I’ll grab it by force!”

Another old man was even more furious that he basically jumped off from his seat and charged towardthe stage. He was soon standing before the old-aged host and swung his arm, throwing a heavy punchtoward the host.

“Oh my… This force and this speed. This old man’s fighting skill is comparable to an eighth-gradegrandmaster, isn’t it?”

Lana was shocked at the sight before her and she continued, “That means this old man is as strong asan eight-star King of War!”

jackie bobbed his head at Lana’s guess. This old man was definitely something else.

“But I think he’s not even his opponent! Sigh.”

jackie breathed out a bitter smile as he replied to Lana.

Sure enough, just as jackie’s words fell, the old-aged host on the stage—who was wearing a mask—balled his fist firmly and threw it toward the fist of another old man. One could visibly witness a layer ofChi energy surrounding the balled fist of the old-aged host.

A loud sound pierced through the air and sent waves that shook the place for a few seconds. The oldman who challenged the host was knocked backward and smashed heavily into the crowd. A mouthful ofblood was spurted out.

An eighth-grade grandmaster was blasted away just like that, and he was badly wounded!

“Who—who the hell are you?”

The old man on the ground stared deadly at the old man on the stage, his eyes full of shock andconfusion. The injured old man was deemed as a strong fighter of a first-class family; an eighth-gradegrandmaster for god-sake! It was rare to see an eighth-grade grandmaster appear in public, but toeveryone’s surprise, that even such a powerful person was not the opponent of the old man on thestage!

The old man with the mask held the dragon scale in his grip, then he flipped his palm, and the dragonscale disappeared.

Only then he sneered scornfully, “The main purpose of inviting all of you here today is to lure someoneout, who I believe is already here and hidden within this crowd, am I right?”

The old man paused for a few seconds before continuing, “This someone is no other than the owner ofthis Dragon scale, hahaha!”

“Are you f*cking kidding me? The dragon scale really fell off a person?”

The crowd was murmuring; some people still could not bring themselves to trust the old man’s words andfeel that everything was too magical.

“The owner of the Dragon scale, what’s wrong? Don’t dare to come out? Such a coward! The Dragonscale is with me right now, come and grab it if you have the guts!”

The old man laughed rampantly like a chimpanzee.

“Hey, Old man, since you’re not auctioning this dragon scale, we’re allowed to leave, right?”

A few people stood up and ready to leave the hall.

“He’s right. Old man, we’re not the someone you’re looking for. So, see you never!”
