No. 1 Supreme Warrior

Chapter 401 – 450

Chapter 401 Dennis spoke while smiling. “What time is the event tomorrow? I’ll probably drop by. It should be nice if there’s alcohol to go around!”

jackie said after he thought about it. “The opening ceremony is at twelve noon. But everyone will probably arrive earlier. Come by at around eleven o’clock!”

Dennis took a sip of the coffee before him. “Mmhmm. I have some recollection of that King of War, Magnus Sutherland. He was probably Ethan’s subordinate!”

jackie nodded. The two talked for a while before leaving.

They just walked out of the coffee shop when Tanya made an unexpected call.

“Is anything the matter, Miss Tanya?” jackie asked immediately after he picked up the call.

“Are you free now? It’s only one in the afternoon. Don’t tell me that you’re off from work already? Yvonne and I are about to go out shopping, but we don’t want to bring an entire band of bodyguards! So…” Tanya’s tone indicated that she was open to discussion.

“No problem!” jackie chuckled and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was the Drakes’ bodyguard, yet Tanya used such a demure tone to talk to him. It was highly likely that no one would believe this if he told anyone else.

Soon enough, jackie arrived before the gates of the Drakes’ residence.

“Get in the car. I’ll drive this time!” At the entrance, Tanya and Yvonne were already inside the car, waiting for jackie.

jackie slid into the backseat. The car quickly shot toward the direction of the premium shopping mall in the city center. After they got down from the car, jackie and the other two quickly attracted the attention of the many shoppers in the mall. Some looked at jackie with pure admiration. He was walking with two absolute beauties, after all. Their long, sexy legs were enough to rival other beauties in a split second.

More importantly, between the two beauties, one was adorable, and the other, elegant while carrying the bearings of a queen. They radiated an aura of being unapproachable by a normal person.

“Who’s that man? Don’t tell me that both of those ladies are his? Tsk—tsk. How lucky of him!”

“Maybe. Look—he’s walking in the middle, with the two girls beside him. And the two ladies are wearing luxury items. He’s probably their sugar daddy!!”

“No way. The man is wearing such ordinary clothes!”

“You never know. Nowadays, some wealthy people like to keep a low profile, but they are absolutely loaded. I know of this general who was awarded tens of billions of dollars by the government after he retired. Don’t mention him keeping a low profile on a regular basis—he even eats pickled vegetables!”

Quite a few men could not help but discuss among themselves when they saw this.

The corners of Yvonne’s mouth twitched when she heard this. She shot the men a vicious glare. “What the h*ll did you just say? Speak more nonsense and I’ll gouge all of your eyes out! You bunch are as blind as bats anyway!”

Chapter 402 Tanya, who stood by the side, did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seriously, what was jackie thinking? He was just a bodyguard, yet he walked side by side with them. He even walked between them. No wonder everyone misunderstood. She now seriously suspected that jackie did not do it intentionally.

After Yvonne finished her yelling, she whipped her head around and rolled her eyes at jackie. “Why are you walking between us, you brat? You walk behind us—don’t you know that?”

jackie flashed an awkward smile. “I’m just scared of being accused of looking at your asses if I walk behind you. Besides, your skirt is a little short today. It wouldn’t do for me to walk behind!”

Yvonne’s face suddenly flushed red. She was so angry that she grinded her teeth. She had the inexplicable urge to lunge forward and strangle that b*stard to death.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who told me to call him and get him to accompany us as we shop, Yvonne? Are you regretting it now?” Tanya snickered from the side. “What are you afraid of? You don’t have to be afraid if you’re not doing anything wrong.”

After she said that, she slipped one of her arms through jackie’s. “We’re not afraid of being misunderstood,” she said. “If someone’s wife catches sight of this, however, how on earth would he explain all of this to her?”

Yvonne’s eyes brightened when she heard that. She felt embarrassed, but she took jackie’s other arm anyway. “That’s right. Let’s go and shop. jackie, what will you do if we run into someone you know, and that person tells your wife about this?”

“D–don’t. I was wrong, okay? Please, young misses, forgive me. I’ll walk behind you, or by your side. How about that?” jackie quickly admitted defeat.

He could never imagine the day that two beauties would be sidling toward him on both his left and right. Besides, Fiona enjoyed shopping. If he did run into her, he would never be able to cleanse himself of his sins even if he bathed in holy water. Yet Tanya and Yvonne grew even more excited when they saw that jackie was afraid. Not only did they refuse to let go of jackie, but they also tightened their grip on him and continued walking forward.

“Now you’re scared? Too late!” Although Yvonne felt a little shy, she spoke with her usual terseness in order to put jackie in his place.

Yet she never expected that a male voice would soon ring out from behind. “Oh dear. I never expected you to be involved with a bodyguard!”

The three stopped in their tracks when they heard this mysterious voice. Tanya and Yvonne immediately let go of jackie’s hand.

jackie threw a look over his shoulder; a bitter smile crossed his lips. “I was wondering who it was. Turns out to be the fellow who took off at the speed of lightning after being frightened by me the other day!”

The man before him was not a stranger. It was the man in a floral shirt from a few days back—Young Master Flynn from the Bane family.

“What a coincidence. Never expected to run into you here!” Flynn flashed a cold smile. He looked at Tanya, and his smile turned wolfish. “My dear, it seems that you’ve only grown more beautiful even though only a few days have passed since I last saw you,” he said. “The dress suits you. It makes you seem younger—and more alluring!”

After he said that, he turned his attention to Yvonne. “You’re such a lucky b*stard,” he said to jackie. “You’re only a bodyguard, but you’re able to find two such beautiful women to accompany you. Tsk tsk, I’m envious!”

“Who’s this, Tanya? He has a lot of bodyguards, but I’ve never seen him before!” Yvonne noticed that there were over twenty bodyguards behind the man. Her pulse began to rise in fear. They only brought jackie out, after all. They did not know if jackie was able to overcome all those men if they fought.

“I’ve never seen him before either. I think he’s an aristocrat from Lone City. Don’t mind him. He looks down on everyone just because he has some money. He’d probably be scared out of his wits once he

knows who we are!” Tanya chuckled, evidently not giving two hoots about Flynn.

Chapter 403 “Okay!” Yvonne nodded her head. It was true that the Drakes were the most influential family in Eastfield. Even the four most powerful families here were not contenders against the Drakes and did not dare to offend them. What should she be afraid of?

Unless he was from the most powerful family in Lone City. After all, Lone City was a few times larger than Eastfield, and naturally, they held more power. The aristocrats there were stronger than the aristocrats of Eastfield. There, they also possessed a fearsome strength; only that strength that was capable of scaring the Drakes.

“Tsk…tsk. Stop lying to my face. You can only afford one bodyguard. Heh. Think you can scare me?” Flynn chuckled. “My family is a second-class aristocratic family from Lone City,” he said. “What do you think? Afraid now, aren’t you?”

“No way. A second-class aristocrat? I’m so scared!” Tanya put on a fearful mask when she heard that.

“Oh my God, a second-class aristocrat. We’re doomed. We’re doomed!” Yvonne also played along with her.

“Hah! Good that you’re afraid!” Flynn thought that they were truly afraid and burst into guffaws. “Since you’re so afraid, be my women. What good is there to be with a bodyguard? If you’re with me, I guarantee that from now on even if you walk sideways, nobody dares to say anything!”

jackie was amused when he heard that. “Don’t tell me that you come from a family of crabs? You like walking sideways when you’re outside?”

“That’s right. Young Master Crab. Hah! His father is definitely Father Crab, and there’s Grandfather Crab…” Tanya chuckled in delight when she heard that.

“How bold of you to speak like that of the Banes!”

The corners of Flynn’s mouth twitched. He was so angry that his entire face turned pale. Nobody dared to speak of the Banes like that in Lone city. Furthermore, Eastfield was not as powerful as Lone City. That was why he really did not have anything to be afraid of, aside from a few first-class aristocratic families and the Drakes.

He simply decided to cut straight to the point and waved his hand. “Beat the guy up to death. Take the women away. I’m going to have a taste of two beauties today! How dare you look down on the Banes. I’ll let you know the true meaning of regret today!”

“Look here, offending our young master is akin to digging your own grave. Get it?”

“They knew that our young master is from a second-class aristocratic family, yet they still dared to provoke him. You’ve got some guts!”

The bodyguards started to walk over, wicked smiles on their faces.

“These are new. Seems like you fired the trash that you used last time. Did you hire more professional fighters from Lone City? jackie did not recognize any of the bodyguards before him. He gave a warm smile as he spoke.

“Hah. Your memory isn’t too bad, you b*stard. You actually remember that these aren’t the bodyguards from before!” Flynn laughed and said, “You’re pretty skilled. If you get down on your knees and beg and volunteer to help out the Banes from now on, I’ll consider if I should spare your life!”

Chapter 404 jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. “From what I see, you’re a pretty good- looking guy, and you stand out from the crowd,” he said. “Why don’t you consider helping me polish my shoes?”

“You ungrateful f*cker! Get him!” Flynn snarled viciously as he waved his hand. He was someone who recognized and treasured talents in people, yet the other man refused to take up his offer. It was something he would never foresee.

“These bodyguards seem to be better than the ones I faced last time. But they’re still trash in my eyes!” jackie’s lips curled into a wry smile. He took two steps forward and clenched his fists, moving first.

The men who rushed over first all received a punch to their faces before they could respond. They flew backward, spitting blood with their front teeth, broken.

“Ah!” One of the men—who looked thirty-odd—had extremely fast fists, and his technique was extremely sound.

jackie observed him. This man’s fighting skill was probably a little better than several assistant commanders in the army. However, he was not a threat in jackie’s eyes. He clenched his fists and punched forward, his fist meeting the other man’s.

In a flash, the two men’s fists collided. The other man flew backward with no way of retaliating.

“What?” The man took a sharp intake of breath, extreme shock flooding his veins. He was probably one of the strongest among this group of bodyguards. He never expected jackie to be so strong, to be so much faster than him—that he would be sent flying with a single fist. It was as though he was facing off against a huge rock.

It did not take a full minute for all the twenty bodyguards to be lying down on the floor. Some of them felt like their arms had been broken. One of them cradled his hand with the other, crying out in pain. Some others had lost quite a few of their teeth, and blood streamed down from their nostrils.

“Young Master Bane, right? Time for you to shine. Come over. It’s your turn. Now that they’ve all been defeated, shouldn’t you step up as their young master?” jackie smiled and motioned toward the other

man.

Young Master Bane gulped and stared at the bodyguards on the floor. Cold sweat beaded down the nape of his neck.

After a while, he finally spoke in a flippant manner, “I was just joking around. That day, I saw that you had such great fighting skills, so I purposely rounded up quite a few fighters today and took them out onto the streets, hoping to run into you and get them to fight you. You’ve opened my horizons!”

“Didn’t you call me an ungrateful f*cker just now?” jackie chuckled and asked.

“No way. I already said that I was joking. I’m not much of a fighter myself. So no thank you!” Flynn wiped his forehead; a film of cold sweat came off. He wheeled around, preparing to leave.

“You’re leaving? Do you believe that I can kill you in three seconds? Even though you’re five meters away from me!” jackie said coolly.

Flynn only took one step before he stopped in his tracks, frozen. He did not harbor an inch of suspicion toward jackie’s claim. It would probably take the man two seconds to catch up to him, and another to kill him. Three was enough.

He craned his head backward. “I – I’m a Bane, from a second-class aristocratic family,” he said. “We have plenty of fighters in our family who haven’t shown their faces yet. You’d better think about it. You probably won’t be able to escape if you kill me!”

“I don’t fear death. Besides, I believe that every problem can be solved once we get there!” jackie laughed. That one sentence sent a chill crawling up the other man’s spine.

A rich man like him only feared meeting someone who did not fear death. He was powerful, but as the saying goes, a beggar can never be bankrupt. If someone like that killed you, you would be the only loser

around even if he eventually killed himself. After all, he was the young master of a second-class aristocratic family. He had a bright and beautiful future before him.

Chapter 405 “Come over and fight me! How about that?” jackie waved his hand again. “I’ll spare you if you can take one hit from me!”

Flynn’s blood pressure spiked. He was a pampered young man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. How on earth would he know how to fight? If he took one hit, he would be left crippled even if he did not die immediately.

“Can we–we do it some other way? I was wrong!” Flynn’s features contorted in despair. He quickly noticed the shopping mall before him. “Oh, right. You’re out shopping, aren’t you, ladies?” he said. “How about this? I’ll pay for everything you buy today. Just choose whatever you like from this mall. How about that?”

“Oh my, you’re paying? Why not? What do you think about this, ladies?” jackie smiled and looked at Tanya and Yvonne.

After all, the other man was the young master of a second-class aristocratic family. jackie did not want to blow the issue out of proportion simply because he did not want to trouble himself too much. There was a possibility that the master of the Bane family would come over looking for a fight if he beat up young Bane today. It was not that jackie was not capable of dealing with the Banes, of course, but he did not like to stir unnecessary trouble. He just wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life in Eastfield.

“Of course, it’s alright! It’s so nice to have someone pay for us. I want to buy a few branded bags!” Tanya immediately replied, grinning.

“I also thought about getting myself new clothes!” Yvonne was not the least bit embarrassed as well.

“Get your useless bodyguards to wait outside the mall!” jackie smiled and led Yvonne and Tanya inside.

“Seriously, all of you—you can’t even beat up one guy! Pieces of trash!” Flynn was extremely furious. After he thought about it, he sneakily spoke to one of the bodyguards, who just had his front teeth broken off. “I’m going into the mall with them. Quickly go and tell my cousin to get his men over—good ones. That f*cker. We’ll mop him up real good once they come out!”

“Yes, sir!” The man nodded his head, but he did not leave just yet.

Only after Flynn followed jackie and the girls into the mall that he quietly drove back to the Clarks’ residence all by himself.

After a while, he came before Ken Clark.

“Young Master Clark, our young master’s men have been beaten up again! It seems that the young master ran into the same man who had beaten up his bodyguards the other day. Our group couldn’t beat him either! Now the young master is…” The bodyguard quickly explained the situation to Ken.

“The bodyguard of the women from the other day? How skilled is he, to have beaten over twenty of you and not break a sweat afterward?” Ken’s expression darkened. After he thought about it, he quickly summoned Dan to his side.

He also summoned more than a dozen skilled fighters asides from Dan. They all drove toward the shopping mall.

“This looks pretty good. I’ll get it!”

“Oh, this bag is a little pricey, isn’t it? 50 thousand dollars? No problem. Crab Man there says he’ll buy, and he’s absolutely loaded!”

“This bracelet is pretty too. Heh, let’s get this one!”

In the shopping mall, Tanya and Yvonne spared no expense. They barely shopped for half an hour, yet they had already purchased items totaling over a few million dollars.

Flynn, who accompanied them, could do nothing but smile, not daring to utter a single word of protest.

‘Go ahead, go ahead. I’ll make you pay ten times more once we get out of here! Especially you two ladies—I’ll properly torture you two for at least a month!’ Flynn thought viciously to himself, gritting his teeth.

Chapter 406 The Bane family had quite a few skilled fighters. Two of them, especially, were a bit stronger than the Clarks’ strongest fighter, Dan. However, Flynn had not brought them along because he had not expected to be bullied like this in Eastfield. Still, he believed that the men his cousin would bring were enough to completely wipe out that bloody bodyguard.

They shopped for about another half an hour. Tanya and Yvonne had amassed items that were worth around 20 million dollars. It made Flynn’s heart ache uncontrollably. He had thought that the two women could not spend that much money while shopping. After all, they could not carry that many items.

Who knew that they would buy luxury watches, earrings, perfumes, and various other knick-knacks. Nevermind that they were expensive, they were small and easy to carry as well. His pallor had taken on a deathly shade by the time they were finished.

“Wow, it feels good to spend money!” Tanya stretched her arms above her head. Her figure nearly made Flynn’s nose, bleed.

“Right? It’s been so long since I bought this many things. What a great feeling!” Yvonne then stretched her arms too. Her figure was even more womanly, and it nearly made Flynn faint in excitement.

No matter how good-looking they were though, they had already spent 20 million dollars. Although Flynn was not short on money, his cash did not grow on trees. That amount made his heart and wallet ache. The 20 million dollars would be nothing if these two beauties were his girlfriends. Not only were they not his women though, but there was also a possibility that the bodyguard had slept with them before. He felt discontent at this, after spending 20 million dollars.

“My cousin is probably coming soon. It’s almost been an hour already!” Flynn frowned as he thought about this. He could not help but glance toward the entrance of the shopping mall.

“What’s wrong, Young Master Bane? What are you looking at?” jackie gave a mysterious smile. “Are you looking for someone?”

Flynn jumped in his seat and quickly waved a dismissal hand. “No way. I noticed a coffee shop on the first floor. Why don’t we go for a few cups of coffee there?”

“Young Master Bane, don’t tell me that you’re pained about losing your money, and so you’re dragging us to drink coffee?” Yvonne chuckled. “After all, you can’t spend that much money while drinking coffee,” she added. “And who knows? One, two hours might just pass by if we stir up a conversation. No? Your train of thought is quite slick!”

The corners of Flynn’s mouth immediately twitched. This Yvonne was too cunning, being able to guess his motives in a flash. Furthermore, he truly had a thought like that. If he did not drag out the time and allowed these two beauties to continue walking around the mall, there was a good chance that he would have to spend even more money.

“No way. I’m just worried that the two of you are tired, so I was looking out for a spot to take a break!” Flynn explained hurriedly, “This amount of money is nothing to me. Everything’s good as long as you two ladies are happy!”

“Forget it! It’s getting late. Let’s go back first. I don’t want to shop anymore!” Tanya spoke after she thought about it.

“Yeah. I’m tired after walking around so much. And we bought so many things already. Let’s go back!” Yvonne echoed.

“You-you’re leaving so soon?” Flynn felt a little worried. He had not seen his cousin and his men until now. What if his cousin reaches moments after they left? He would miss out on a golden opportunity then. Besides, he would have spent all that money for nothing.

“What’s wrong? You want us to continue shopping? Do you really have that much money?” Tanya stared at Flynn with surprise.

Chapter 407 “Ahem. It’s not that my pockets are bursting, but it’s so hard to be able to accompany such beauties while they’re shopping. And they’re such bombshells too. We can shop for another half an hour!” Although his heart ached for his money, Flynn’s expression was nonchalant. He just wanted to stall them for a while longer.

Who knew if he would be able to run into them in the future if they left just like that? He was going to wait until his cousin came and kill that man. He would play around with the girls and finally release the grudge he had been holding.

“Never mind. I don’t want to shop. Let’s go!” Yet Tanya and Yvonne did not like taking advantage of others. They did this just to teach the man a lesson. After all, they did not lack money themselves either.

After they said that, the trio went toward the first floor and exited the mall. After Flynn went to the entrance, Ken and the others still had not arrived. Anxiety clenched his chest.

All his bodyguards were all sitting on the floor. It was evident that they were involved in a brawl from before, and now they looked absolutely dejected. He did not yell for them to leave. It was obvious that the bodyguards did not dare to leave either.

“Why aren’t they here yet?” He watched as jackie and the others walked toward their car. Flynn was in an extreme state of panic now, and he did not know what to do.

However, just at this moment, a few cars zoomed over and parked nearby. Ken and Dan and a whole cohort of men exited the cars. Flynn’s heart leaped in delight when he saw that his cousin had brought plenty of men over—good fighters too.

He immediately spoke to Tanya and the others, “Stop right there. You little sl*ts. You spent so much money and you’re leaving just like that? Hmph! In your dreams!”

jackie instantly turned around. A cold smile graced his lips. It turned out that the b*stard had called in reinforcements. Furthermore, the reinforcements were familiar faces to him.

“Oh, you’re quite bold, aren’t you, Young Master Bane? Seems like the men that are walking over are your reinforcements.”

Tanya took a look, and could not help but smile as well.

“Hah! So long as you know! My cousin is a second-class aristocrat here—the young master of the Clark family. Hmph, you think you can bully me because I’m a foreigner here? I’m willing to bet that you’ve heard of my cousin. Are you scared now?” Flynn was very confident. He believed that jackie could not take on this group of bodyguards.

“Flynn, don’t tell me that the people who bullied you are them?” Ken came over and studied jackie and the others. His expression darkened. jackie was an extremely skilled fighter; even Dan had told everyone to not provoke him.

Besides, jackie was the bodyguard of the Drake family now. Miss Tanya and Yvonne were both here. How could he even dare to provoke them? Provoking the Drake family was akin to digging his own grave.

Flynn had never seen Ken looking so forlorn before. “That’s right. It’s them,” he said with his usual cockiness. “My bodyguards were beaten up by this punk. He’s pretty skilled, but you brought Dan over. Surely it won’t be a problem.

“I want to teach them a good lesson this time. Kill the man. As for the two ladies, I’ll bring them home with me and tame them nicely. I’ll let them know how amazing of a man I am!” Flynn spoke viciously, clearing giving no regards toward jackie and the others.

“I think you’ll have to drop it, Flynn!” The corners of Ken’s mouth worked violently. His features were contorted into an unreadable expression.

Chapter 408 “Drop it? I can’t just drop the matter like that, Ken! You promised to help me. You know what? I’ll let you have one of the ladies!” Flynn’s expression turned savage as he spoke while grinning.

“Young Master Bane, do not say another word. Do you have a death wish?” Dan’s expression was so dark that it looked like storm clouds were obscuring it. He shot a vehement glare toward Flynn.

“What? I have a death wish? Heh. What do you mean? No way that you can’t beat this punk!” Flynn still was not aware of the situation; he spoke while chuckling.

“They’re telling you to shut up. Can’t you hear that?” jackie did want to exchange nonsense with the other man. He stamped his foot onto the ground and pounced forward. The next second, he was already standing before Flynn. He backhanded the other man.

Flynn flew backward and landed on the ground with a solid crunch! Blood frothed at this mouth, and he lost quite a few teeth.

“You–you dare to hit me?” Flynn was so angry that all color drained from his face.

“Miss Tanya, my sincere apologies. This is the first time my cousin has been to Eastfield, so he’s a little lost around here. I hope that you’ll be merciful toward him.” Ken’s expression darkened. He wiped a sheen of cold sweat away from his forehead and pleaded with Tanya.

He was well-aware that Tanya was not easy to negotiate with. She was boldfaced and brazen in her decisions.

In the end, Tanya entirely disregarded his begging. “Whatever he said just now was an insult to me and Yvonne,” she said, expression stony. “Sharing the ladies between you two? Does he think that I don’t understand what that means?”

After he said that, she gave a scornful look at Flynn, who lay on the floor, stunned. “Take a good look at the mirror. How can a moth ever match up to a butterfly?” she said. “I’ve already let it slide with you the other day on the streets. Today, I gave you a second chance by letting you buy me things. I never thought that you would call Ken for reinforcement. You deserved what you got this time!”

“What’s going on? Who–who is this? Ken, why are you afraid of her too?” Flynn was confused. He had always assumed that Tanya was just the daughter of a normal businessman. It seemed like she was much more than that now though.

“This–this is Miss Tanya Drake, a member of the Drakes! Do you know James Drake? Have you heard of the daughter of the richest man in all of Eastfield?” Ken clenched his teeth, nearly spitting blood.

His cousin-brother had been extremely unfortunate. Not only did he provoke someone important, but he also provoked the daughter of the Drakes. He was practically signing his own death certificate. He would

not be bothered to lift a single finger even if Tanya decided to have him killed.

“The Drake family!” Flynn took a sharp breath when he heard that. Why was he so unlucky? There were few in the world whom he could not provoke. He never imagined that he would run into one of them. More importantly, this woman was way too low-profile. She only brought out one bodyguard and did not make a show of her wealth. No one would have been able to guess that she was the daughter of the Drakes.

“I was wrong, Miss Tanya. I only did this because I did not know it was you!” Flynn quickly pleaded, “Please spare me! I’ve bought you so many things just now!”

“No excuses. That is a matter of the past. You calling Ken and the others here is an entirely different matter!” Tanya folded her arms across her chest. After she thought about it, she told jackie, “ jackie, cripple one of his arms. Make him remember this for life.”

Chapter 409 “Yes, ma’am!” jackie nodded his head. After all, that b*stard had not provoked them just once before. Besides, he dared to humiliate Miss Tanya. It would be unreasonable for them to allow him to get away with this.

“Don’t you dare! I’m telling you now—I’m a Bane, and my family is a second-class aristocrat in Lone City. Our second-class aristocratic family there is way stronger than all of you here. The Big Five of our family are also very powerful! Your ‘strength’ merely lies in your wealth and your properties. Your fighters might not necessarily be stronger than ours though!” Flynn was frightened to the bone when he saw jackie walking over. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and threaten the other man.

“You’ve got some nerve, actually threatening us instead of begging for your life at this moment!” jackie chuckled and took a step forward. He snatched the other man’s arm and tightened his grip around it. “Snap!”

jackie’s movement looked casual, but the crack of a bone broke out loud and clear.

“You…” Never in Flynn’s wildest dreams that jackie, a mere bodyguard, would dare to do something like this to him. The agony drained all color from his face, and he fainted right on the spot.

Shock also jolted up Ken and Dan’s spines. They were stunned beyond comprehension. jackie was so vicious. He had lashed out without any hesitation. More importantly, it did not seem that he had used much strength, yet it was obvious that Flynn’s arm was broken—and it was not a clean fracture, but it had been completely shattered.

“Miss Tanya, you can see it for yourself, right? There’s no way to save this guy’s arm. All he can do is amputate it!” jackie turned around and spoke to Tanya.

“Good work!” Tanya smiled and told Ken, “Young Master Clark, take your cousin and leave. And tell him to stop preying on ladies on the streets from day till night. I hate perverts like him the most. Consider it a mercy that I didn’t have him killed even after he provoked me three times. I’ll kill him for certain if he comes around again!”

“Yes, Miss Tanya. You’re right. I’ll take him and leave right now. Don’t worry about anything. I’ll make sure that your message gets to him!” Although Ken was dissatisfied that Tanya did not spare him some dignity yet he had no choice but to acknowledge his bad luck. Of all the people he could offend, this b*stard just had to offend Tanya Drake.

“Let’s go! We’ll send Young Master Bane to the hospital!” Ken felt very helpless. He threw a piercing look at jackie before leaving.

“Seems like jackie is a very skilled fighter!” Ken said to Dan while they were seated in the car after they left.

“He’s ridiculously strong. It seemed like he didn’t use his strength much just now, but that was scary enough. If he used his true strength, it would be so terrifying that I dare not imagine it!” Dan wiped a sheen of cold sweat away. He thought about it for a while before he added, “Logically speaking, such a skilled fighter can’t just be a normal grunt after five years of being in the military. He must have held some sort of position!”

“Yeah. That punk probably wasn’t your run-of-the-mill soldier. He’s probably at least a commander!” Ken frowned as well, thinking for a while before he spoke, “Of course, there’s no way that he’s a general. He would have showed off a long time ago if he held such a position, or if he was a god of war.”

“If he was a commander, I’d guess that he was the head commander!” Dan thought about it for a while and said, “Oh, right. I heard that the government pays you about a billion as a retirement bonus if you’re a head commander. Regular commanders only get about 10 million!”

“One whole billion!” The corners of Ken’s mouth twitched when he heard this. If jackie really had one billion in his account, did that not mean that he could fork out the money needed for grandfather Taylor’s birthday?

Chapter 410 Soon enough though, Ken shook his head in disbelief. “No way. Why is that punk so low-profile if he indeed has a billion dollars?”

“I don’t know. Some people have always been more low-profile—or maybe he just doesn’t want to live too extravagantly!” After Dan thought about it, he explained helplessly, “Young Master Clark, listen to me. Selena Taylor is beautiful, but can’t you find some other woman with the money you have? You can’t provoke jackie no matter what! Understand?”

“Shut up! Stop nagging at me like you’re my mother!” Ken exclaimed angrily, extremely dissatisfied.

He just could not believe that jackie would be so low-profile if he had so much money. The punk was a good fighter, yes, but it did not mean that he was a commander or something in the army. Besides, so what if he was a commander? He would die anyway if he provoked a man like Ken Clark. Now, he had no reason to be anxious. He believed that the matter of jackie would solve itself once grandfather Taylor’s birthday came around. He would be kicked out of the Taylors. If there was really no way to kick him out, the bag of medicine with Xena would definitely kill jackie sooner or later.

Dan heaved an internal sigh when he saw Ken’s anger spiking. He had already said what he needed to say as a subordinate. He had no way around it if Young Master Clark still refused to listen.

In the end, Dan flashed a bitter smile and said to Ken. “How are you going to explain this to your aunt? Your cousin came over for a vacation and to have fun with you!”

Ken was suddenly struck with a dilemma. “What can we do? We can only tell the truth. He asked for it. My aunt and uncle can probably do nothing but accept it once they find out what happened. After all, he offended the Drakes. Anyway, the Drakes did this, not me. They can’t pin the blame on me.”

Dan nodded his head. “You’re right, Young Master. But I suggest that you wait for a few days before telling them about this. I’m worried that they might not be able to take it immediately, seeing their son in a condition like this. Let’s see how Young Master Bane’s arm turns out first—if there’s any treatment that will make it better.”

Ken nodded his head. “True. We can’t believe everything jackie says. What does he know anyway? Of course, some skillful doctors would be able to treat this.”

…

“You’re really decisive when it comes to a target, aren’t you? I didn’t see you furrow your brow and Young Master Bane was already…” On the way back to the Drakes’ residence, Yvonne could not help but glance backward at jackie. What happened just now had been a little shocking.

jackie gave a magnanimous grin instead when he heard that. “You’ve never experienced what it’s like on the battlefield. You’ve never seen the entire field and mountain strewn with corpses and missing limbs. You’ve never smelled the stench of blood cloying the air. All of you live behind our shields, leading peaceful lives. On the battlefield, you’re dead if you don’t kill the enemy first!”

“That’s true! Who knows how long this war would have lasted if not for people like you!” Yvonne bobbed her head. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at jackie.

“Thank you for today, jackie. Why don’t you stay back and come with us for dinner?” After Tanya thought about it, she could not help but say to jackie when they arrived at the Drakes’ residence.

It was true that if not for jackie, there was no way to predict what would have happened with Young Master Bane not being aware of their identities just now. If she had said that she was a Drake, it was possible that he would not have believed it.

“All right. But let me call my wife and tell her about this first!” jackie nodded his head after he thought about it.

“Okay. Then we’re going in to sort out our things first. We’ll rest for a while, take a shower, then we’ll go out in the evening!” Tanya nodded her head happily. She went into her villa along with Yvonne.

jackie called Selena and told her about this. Only then did he return to his own villa to rest. When the sky dimmed, Tanya and Yvonne came down, dressed in casual denim hot pants and loose-fitting T-shirts. They also wore sunglasses. They came before jackie.

“Seriously? You’re wearing sunglasses at night?”

Chapter 411 jackie’s mouth twisted into a bitter smile when he noticed the sunglasses on their face.

“What do you know? Keeping a low profile is what we want, especially our beloved noble-born second daughter of Master Drake, Miss Tanya, is easily spotted by the public when stepping into the outside world!” Yvonne blurted.

“Don’t worry! Even if you’re recognized, you are safe with me!” jackie took off the sunglasses that were hanging on their nose bridge. “You look so much better right now!” He complimented.

Their cheeks were suddenly kissed pink upon hearing the compliment that was bestowed upon them.

“Hmph! And I thought you didn’t know how to appreciate our beauty!” Yvonne felt a little unconvinced as her memory went back to the day when jackie told her that she was not as pretty as his wife.

“I am, too, a human being. I naturally know how to appreciate good-looking things!” jackie forced a smile, and continued, “Let’s move! Where should we go for dinner? Which grand six-star hotel?”

Yvonne and Tanya briefly exchanged glares and chuckled mysteriously.

“This time we will bring you to some roadside food stalls, gulping down crayfish and river snails, and bottoming up to some cold beers, sounds good?” Tanya responded with her lips curled upward. “To lay low, we will only be driving an Audi A6.” She added.

“Audi A6, to lay low…” jackie was tongue-tied. “I think only ‘going on foot’ could bring out the definition of keeping a low profile.” He voiced out.

“Walking? Not a bad idea! It’s not far anyway. Let’s go for a stroll!” Tanya exclaimed excitedly at jackie’s suggestion. “But you will need to send us back later on. We’ll be drinking and it won’t be safe for the two of us to come back on foot!”

“Don’t you worry, as your bodyguard, I will ensure your safety and send you back home safe and sound!” jackie lit up a smoke, took a long draw as he spoke. “Let’s go! I really miss all those roadside food stalls!”

Although the surroundings of these food stalls were sometimes unsafe and complicated, the food tasted good and they were cheap! It was suitable for a large crowd gathering. Of course, jackie and his comrades did not overeat and drink. They ordered a little bit of everything and started drinking. The ice- cold draft beer was relatively inexpensive during the summer season! It was best to have a cold beer in summer.

At that time, they were not preoccupied with anything—their parents were healthy, they had good food, and so on. They would even peek at some beautiful women who were dressed in refreshing and alluring summer clothes!

However, little did they know…

“Come on! There is one place that Yvonne and I always pay a visit to. I haven’t been there for quite a while!” A big smile appeared on Tanya’s face. She strode before them and led the way.

“I didn’t expect that Miss Tanya would go to such a place to eat! I thought the grand hotel is only on your list!” jackie looked at Tanya and some thoughts popped up in his mind—Tanya was not as squeamish as other rich girls.

“Our family wasn’t born rich before, okay? I experienced some hard times when I was young!” She rolled her eyes at jackie’s remark. It only took a short while for the three of them to arrive at a roadside food stall outside an old community.

Chapter 412 “Oh my! The two belles, it’s been a long time since both of you pay a visit to my stall! It’s an honor to have you here!” The bald-looking stall owner approached Tanya and Yvonne with a big smile once he spotted them from afar. The boss looked particularly hearty!

“Come, over there, the corner of the compartment is vacant; it’s your favorite spot!” The boss chuckled as he rubbed his baldhead.

However, his facial feature changed a little when he noticed the presence of jackie. “Hey, little belle, is this man your boyfriend? He is good-looking, and holds a manly essence.” He asked. “Oh man, look at his stature, firm and solid! Looks like this young man served as a soldier before, right?” He continued.

This little belle was quite rich according to the memory that he stored in his brain. Although he was not close with these two beauties, they used to come for dinner along with seven to eight bodyguards by their side. Those bodyguards would wait for them on the side of the road outside the compartment. Moreover, these two belles visited his stall so many times, but they have never brought any man here.

This was the first time that the owner saw the two bringing a man over. And it happened that jackie was standing next to Tanya, the gap between them was small, hence the owner naturally thought that jackie was probably Tanya’s boyfriend!

Other than that, whenever Tanya and Yvonne came over for a meal, they were very generous to the owner! When the meal only cost two to three hundred dollars, the two would place a few hundred extra dollars on the table before they left! Of course, the owner would want such generous customers to come over and over again!

“What nonsense are you talking about? He’s not!” Tanya’s cheeks turned pink immediately, and she shot a deadly glare at the boss. “Give us a few kilos of crayfish and a big portion of river snails!” She placed the order.

“Got it! I’ll send some icy-cold beer for y’all as well!” The boss left the table with a big bright smile hanging on his face.

“Hmmm. It looks like you two can really drink. The boss even knows how many beers he’d have to send to you!” jackie commented, smiling. The three of them quickly sat down and rested.

“Although I can hold my liquor well, I can’t even compare myself with sis Yvonne! She never gets drunk!” Tanya burst out laughter.

“It’s not as exaggerated as you described! But, under normal circumstances, I can hold my alcohol longer than several men added up!” Yvonne gave a small smile, facing jackie.

“try to drink as little as possible, especially if you’re a girl. It’s bad if you’re drunk!” jackie chortled and gave a friendly reminder out of kindness.

However, he did not expect Yvonne to be upset about it. “Hmph! It depends on the individual not on gender, okay? A good drinker like me can defeat several men easily! And I still can go for a lot more rounds after they’re all lying on the ground, throwing up like a baby.” Yvonne retorted. “Girls like Tanya, who can only have two or three beers, should be extra careful!”

Yvonne held up her words for a moment, and continued, “But there’s nothing Tanya should be afraid of, after all, she always has bodyguards by her side!”

“Actually, I don’t prefer to be accompanied by a group of bodyguards whenever I go out, but my dad said for the sake of my safety, bringing bodyguards is a must, even if its only a few of them.” Tanya flashed a wry smile, commented.

She turned toward jackie, smiling. “Thanks to jackie’s strength though. I can bring only one bodyguard with me when I go out now. Besides, he doesn’t dress like a bodyguard. Thanks to him, we can finally lay low and live an ordinary life in this society!”

“Wow, I never expected Miss Tanya longs to live an ordinary life!” jackie was slightly taken aback.

“It’s fun and nice to experience ordinary life sometimes. Trust me, sometimes you will be annoyed when you have a group of men following behind you!”

Chapter 413 The corners of Tanya’s mouth slid upward. Her smile was beautiful and adorable! Since the arrival of the two belles, the customers from the other tables could not help but peep over their side. Some of them felt

nothing but envious of jackie, for having the opportunity to drink with two charming women. It would be a great pleasure in life to have two beauties drinking with them! Besides, if the two belles were drunk, jackie might even have the chance to… Just the thought of it made their body cells, scream and soar excitedly!

After a while, the boss brought a huge bowl of crayfish and river snails and ordered two waiters to serve them throughout the night. They brought them nine pints of cold draft beer, too! These beer glasses are no ordinary glasses. They were typically larger and can hold almost two and a half bottles of beer. One would be considered strong if he could finish a pint!

“C’mon, Handsome jackie, you dare to drink with me? I always heard that veterans like you are good and bold drinkers! Is it because of your fit and healthy physique?” Yvonne slowly lifted up her glass of beer and took a gentle sip. “I may not be as skilled as you in fighting, but drinking? I’m afraid that you’re far worse than me!” She teased as she took another sip.

jackie flashed her a dry smile. “No, I don’t want to drink with you. Firstly, I’m not a fan of drinking games. Secondly, I am afraid of getting you drunk! It’s too troublesome. I’m not fond of getting myself into trouble too!”

Yvonne was agitated upon hearing his words. “Are you kidding me? You get me drunk? Me? A legend who won’t budge in the slightest at a thousand glasses of beer? I really don’t know where you get the courage to spew such a comment!” She grunted.

“Yes, yes, yes. You are right. I’m a coward to not want to play the drinking game with you” jackie shook his head helplessly. “I would rather you say that I’m a coward than to compete with you in drinking. What if you get drunk and become a drunken stupor?”

“Impossible! I’m no drunken moron!” Yvonne felt a flicker of irritation, her heart rate increased. jackie was obviously looking down on her, thinking that she could not hold her liquor well. This triggered her eagerness to win the best drinker title.

“No. You have to compete with me today, otherwise, you—you’re a trash! A useless gnat who dares not drink with a woman!”

“What the—“ jackie’s facial expression immediately turned icy-cold at her remark. “Yvonne Drake, this is what you’ve asked for. Don’t regret it when you throw up like a madwoman and become a drunken moron later on!”

“Don’t you worry! I won’t regret my decision!” Yvonne was slightly pleased when she knew that her little trick to spur him had worked. “However, I believe that it will be you who would fall down and cry like a baby in a while!”

“Yvonne, stop it! We brought him with us without other bodyguards. If you make him drunk, who will protect us when we go back? What if we encounter a pervert on our way back? No one will protect us!” Looking at the situation, uneasiness washed over Tanya. She tried to persuade Yvonne with some logical facts.

On the other hand, jackie did not know to laugh or to cry in this situation. It seemed like Tanya did not believe in his alcohol tolerance as well!

“Miss Tanya, if I remember correctly, last time you were there to see me gulping down some liquor, and I seemed to be able to hold my liquor well, am I wrong? But now you think that my alcohol tolerance is worse than Yvonne, a woman?” jackie was baffled as though he could not fathom the logic behind.

“ jackie, you haven’t seen her drinking. She really can drink a lot! Anyway, I haven’t seen her drunk before!”

“Think twice! If you get drunk, who’s going to protect us?” Tanya reminded.

Chapter 414 “Don’t worry. I believe in myself! The person who can get me drunk hasn’t been born yet!” jackie

responded, with a gentle and soft smile on his face.

“Alright then. You guys go ahead and drink first. I will call Harvey and the others to come and pick us up if you get drunk. Although it’s not far from here, it’s better to be careful!” Tanya sighed bitterly after giving some thoughts to the situation.

“C’mon, let’s have a toast! And Tanya you just have whatever you like!”

Clink! Yvonne raised her beer glass and touched jackie’s, smiling softly.

After that, she took out another four hundred dollars and said to the two waiters next to their table, “Come here, these are the tips for two of you, two hundred each! But make sure our glasses are full of beer, you have to fill them up immediately right after we have emptied them, got it? It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

The two waiters before Yvonne did not expect her to be so generous. They could barely conceal their delight that they kept nodding their head right after Yvonne finished her speech. “Not a problem, miss! We will definitely not let you wait!”

One of the waiters then pushed the big beer barrel over and put it next to Yvonne’s table, “Now you should rest assured that we will fill up your glasses once you emptied them!”

“How smart!” Yvonne gave a thumbs up to the waiters, and then lifting her glass, gulping down the beer.

It took only around ten seconds for Yvonne to empty her big pint of beer!

“Are you afraid now? Huh?” Yvonne prevailed over jackie before the competition started. She took a crayfish and ate it. “It’s better to eat something. Eat some crayfish and river snails! Don’t leave your stomach empty before you get drunk!”

jackie chuckled, lifted his beer glass and swallowed it. It took around the same time as Yvonne to empty the glass. He could actually finish a glass of beer that contains two and a half bottles of beer in 10 seconds!

“Wow, not bad!” Yvonne was amazed by his speed, he took actually about the same time as she did! Yvonne’s eyes suddenly brighten up, “This is interesting! It looks like you should be able to hold on for a white, right? However, I really want to see how long you can hold your liquor!”

jackie, too, took a crayfish and ate it. “It tastes good, let’s continue!” He commented, smiling.

jackie hauled up his pint again, gobbling the beer down without hesitation after clicking his glass with Yvonne’s.

“Jesus Christ! They bottom up so fast!”

“Yeah, they’re incredibly fast! If I take two of those, I’ll be tipsy soon in a while!”

There was a table with a few men sitting next to Yvonne’s table. They stayed stunned and puzzled at the scene.

On the other hand, Yvonne, of course, did not show any weakness. When jackie started to drink, she at the same time lifted up her glass and started to drink. The two put down their glass at the same time!

“Carry on!” After Yvonne put down the first glass, she immediately took another and started guzzling it!

jackie totally did not expect that Yvonne could hold her liquor well. Not bad! It seemed that he had met a worthy opponent this time round. The two lifted another, drank them, and put them down.

“Lovely Yvonne, have something, otherwise, if you get drunk without eating anything, the food would go to waste!” jackie gave her a smile, then a kindly reminder before he took another piece of crayfish and devoured it.

“I think you’re a little tipsy right now, and that’s why you want to slow it down, am I right?” Yvonne laughed heartily at jackie’s words. Looking at the situation, she predicted that jackie would not be able to hold on any longer.

jackie heaved a deep sigh. “Well, I can’t help it if you want to think so!”

After the two had eaten for a while, Yvonne could not wait any longer and held up another glass of beer, again. “We have rested for so long, can we just continue?”

Chapter 415 “If you really can’t wait to get drunk, I can’t help it!”

“I didn’t want to get you drunk at first, but since you think I’m a useless booby who can’t drink, I will show you how good am I today!”

jackie could hardly contain his laughter. He took another and started drinking, again.

This time, he swallowed it down faster than before, within ten seconds, the glass was left empty.

“Humph!” Yvonne snorted coldly. She had not forgotten the day when jackie ran into her when she was… The incident from that day was deeply rooted in her heart. Since that punk was so confident today, she had the responsibility to get him completely drunk! She sneered again, inwardly.

Humph! Yvonne quickly picked up another glass and bottomed up! Two of them took turns, guzzling the beers. In a blink of an eye, each of them had consumed five or six glasses

“Oh my…that’s amazing!”

“Yeah! Unbelievable!”

At this moment, several people from the crowd started cheering and applauding for them. It was their first time seeing someone with such incredible alcohol tolerance. The crowd looked at both of them, eyes filled with admiration.

“Why isn’t this punk drunk yet? If it’s for anyone else, they would have long become drunken morons!”

Yvonne furrowed, and then finally realized that the guy before him was indeed not an ordinary man. She was slightly surprised at his ability to drink. Furthermore, after swallowing so much beer, she could actually feel dizziness in her head. Perhaps, she had drunk the beer too fast.

“Oh my. Both of you, unbelievable!” Tanya, looking at them from aside, was in complete perplexity. She had not even finished a glass before her, and the two had already had six glasses each!

The most important thing was there was no winner yet!

“Boss, another 2.5 kilograms of lobsters, please!” At this point, five or six local thugs came to the stall, found an empty table, and sat down. Of course, their attention was soon directed to Yvonne and jackie’s Table.

Amazement and shock thundered down on the crowd. They had taken another five more glasses!

“Oh my, they just bottomed up the eleventh glass now! It’s really unimaginable!”

“Yeah, this is far beyond my belief! It’s my first time seeing someone who can drink so much!”

The people around them murmured, praising both jackie and Yvonne.

“Wow, that pair is really amazing. They have drunk so much!” One of the thugs blurted with so much emotion in him.

The other guy with earrings, on the other hand, sneered in an icy cold tone, “Do we have to guess about it? That man definitely wants to get that woman drunk and take her to the hotel. I’ve seen way too many times this kind of incident.”

“What a lucky man! Both women are equally hot and good-looking!”

Another thug with extra flesh and fat on his body chimed in. “I would feel better if this man is actually rich and accompanied by two belles. It will make sense to me! But the thing is, this f*cker bring these two top- notch looking girls to such a place to have dinner! How is it possible to obtain the fondness of these two women by bringing them to such a place? It’s unfair!”

Just when everyone’s eyes were fixating at jackie’s table, a man who was drinking at another table stood up and went to the toilet. When the man came back from the toilet, he accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and his left hand touched the thug with earrings.

“B*stard, are you digging your own grave? How dare you to touch our boss!”

“That’s right! The cloth that you’ve just landed your hand on was bought a few days ago! It costs more than a thousand! You b*stard!”

The other two thugs barked, simmering with anger.

Chapter 416 “I… I can still drink!” Yvonne burped. Her cheeks were kissed pink, her speech a little slurred.

Each of them had taken in 12 glasses of beer at this point, and that was equivalent to around 30 bottles of beer per person! Fear and anxiety had silenced the crowd. They were tongue-tied at this state.

“Y—Yvonne, you…you look drunk! Stop drinking. Look at jackie; he’s still sober. Just give up, you’re not his opponent!”

It was obvious to Tanya that Yvonne could not hold it any longer, yet her stubbornness and pride pushed her on. She wanted nothing more than to see jackie falling onto the ground before her.

“I’m not drunk. I can still drink! I think jackie’s the one who can’t hold it in anymore, right?” Cue the drunken giggle from Yvonne. “He’s faking his condition right now!” Yvonne babbled as she propped her head with one palm. She looked like she would fall at any moment.

“Pardon me, gentleman. My apologies, I didn’t mean to touch you!” Not far away from jackie’s table, an apologetic voice interrupted the atmosphere.

The sound of a powerful slap echoed in the air. “F*cker! Do you know how much my clothes cost? Do you think ‘sorry’ will do the magic?”

A thug with earrings stood up, swung his arm, and slapped a man square in the face. The unfortunate guy was wearing his working clothes with a delivery company logo stamped on it. “You’re just a delivery f*cker. How dare you touch me!” roared the hoodlum.

“How could you slap someone? He didn’t mean to touch you. Plus, the ground is too slippery! He wasn’t even hurting you; it was merely a light push!”

A plainly dressed woman ran over and pulled the beaten man aside. She met the thug in a staredown. “You can’t just beat someone up, even if he made your clothes dirty. We’ll pay for your clothes!”

The thug merely scoffed. “Pay for it? How are you going to pay? With your body?”

The man with earrings smiled wickedly as he leered at the woman before him.

This woman also donned the Bellezza Consegna uniform with the company logo on it. It seemed like the two of them were colleagues. The woman was short, but her figure was very well proportioned. Not only did she have lascivious measurements, but the tightening of her shirt by the chest area was nothing but suggestive.

The thug’s eyes never left her chest as he swallowed hard. He happened to be fond of this type of figure. On the other hand, the woman’s delicate and feminine disposition gave off a pure and innocent aura. Her presence unknowingly made others sympathize with her.

“Shameless b*stard!” The woman burned with so much anger that she gritted her teeth, tightly.

Faster than anyone could think, the thug with earrings gave her a loud and soundly slap. “Who are you to criticize me? You have some guts, don’t you? Haven’t you heard of my name and the Eagle Clan?”

“That’s right! Brother Tempest is with the Eagle Clan. Do you think we’re your normal local thug? We have power and authority behind us!”

“Hmph! How dare you be rampant when you’ve offended Brother Tempest!”

The other thugs stood up and crossed their arms across their chests. Their eyes swept the scene, waiting for a daring soul to come up.

“You…” The delivery man’s entire being trembled with rage, but he knew he could not afford to offend the other party. He could only swallow his frustration as he spoke, “One thousand dollars, right? I’ll pay for it.”

jackie, who was drinking on the other side of the stall, instantly recognized the voice. Was not this voice belonging to a good friend of his? His face immediately turned dark and his fists clenched.

He was the closest to this man back when he worked as a delivery man. The two often hang out and drink together. It struck jackie that after five years, this good friend was still working as a delivery man. It seemed as though these two must have just gotten off work and were about to have their dinner.

Chapter 417 “You… What’s wrong with you?” Tanya wanted to stand up and take care of the matter. She loathed bullying the weak, and this thug even went as far as hitting someone without negotiating or even talking it out.

However, before she could step up, she noticed jackie’s tightly clenched fists. Not knowing why, she felt a surge of happiness within her. Perhaps it was because she did not expect jackie to share a trait similar to hers—a distaste for injustice.

“Do you think one thousand is enough?”

“My clothes do cost a thousand dollars, that’s right! But, how about the medical cost of hitting me just now? And also the cost of shaving ten years off of my life? I’m mentally traumatized!” Brother Tempest wore an evil smirk on his face as he continued, “I don’t want you to pay for my clothes. I want the exact same clothes! The one I am wearing, before you ruined it! Can you do it?”

“You—you all, don’t go too far! We’ve apologized to you. Besides, you’ve hurt him!” The woman clasped her hands over her mouth as tears shimmered in her eyes. Her eyes told everything; hurt and grief.

“I hit him because he provoked me first, and because his face deserved my palm. That’s a different thing.” Brother Tempest merely smirked as he spoke.

“Wife, it’s my fault. I didn’t expect the floor to be so slippery, so I fell down!” The delivery man’s face contorted. He had nothing in his mind to clear up the mess he was in. This was his first time to meet such an unreasonable rogue. He was utterly floored.

“Oh, husband and wife. Interesting…” Brother Tempest flashed a lopsided grin and continued, “Okay, let’s not make the situation more difficult. How about you give a hundred thousand, and I’ll let the two of you leave. Otherwise…”

“Isn’t this too much?”

“Right! He didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, he only patted you lightly. You didn’t even shed a single strand of hair! Do you really want it that way?”

“Yeah! He apologized, and the clothes aren’t dirty at all! This man is utterly unreasonable, and he’s even beating up the husband!”

“Sigh! The couple both work as delivery people. It’s already hard for a normal family to maintain their daily life, and now this thug asks for one hundred thousand? How can they fork it out?”

“This guy is obviously threatening the couple!”

The crowd at the scene felt injustice for the couple and began to criticize the thugs.

“What does it matter to all these f*ckers! Are you all wishing for death? Don’t you recognize the Eagle Clan?”

Brother Tempest shot the crowd a deadly stare. His eyes were so terrifying that the crowd was hushed in an instant, and silence overtook the atmosphere.

The boss of this food stall was annoyed by the incident as well, but he knew how terrifying the Eagle Clan was. If he stepped up for the couple and went against the Eagle Clan, he was afraid that his food stalls would be closed forever. Therefore, he could only sympathize with the couple in silence and stand down.

“Sir, I was wrong! It’s all my fault! Could you please forgive us? I’ll give you two thousand, okay? I really don’t have a hundred thousand. There are old people and children in my family that I need to provide for and take care of. Please!”

“Please, Sir, please! I beg you!” The delivery man looked at Brother Tempest and pleaded with tears brimming in his eyes.

“Two thousand? I said one hundred thousand, and you actually offered two thousand? Are you a f*cking comedian? You won’t even bargain that much when buying clothes in the store, right?”

Brother Tempest sneered before continuing, “Well, there’s another way to settle this, and it doesn’t involve money.” His eyes were fixated at the wife.

“Really? Thank you, Sir! Thank you so much!” The heavy rock in the unfortunate man’s heart was lifted away. His mood lightened.

“Don’t thank me yet. I haven’t told you what my conditions are!” Brother Tempest chortled. “You’ll be going home on your own tonight and you’ll lend your wife for a night. She’ll drink with all the brothers

tonight, and we’ll return her to you tomorrow morning.”

Chapter 418 The color was drained out of the delivery man’s face when he heard Brother Tempest’s suggestion. He stumbled a few steps backward and stood frozen. He was no idiot; he could tell what these thugs were after. Letting them keep his wife for a night was the same as pushing his wife to a brothel! Nonetheless, a hundred thousand for him was also a huge sum of money. He would not be able to fork it out, even if he was to sell everything he had.

“You…” The woman was so angry that her eyes glowed red, but at the same time, she found herself without any other option.

She had also heard that there were several clans; all of them intimidating. This Eagle Clan was way more overbearing and domineering than the Dragon God Clan. Ordinary citizens like them were afraid of offending these clans.

“My good Sir, please, I beg you. There’s nothing good about my wife. She’s plain-looking! Besides, we have a five-month-old child, waiting for my wife to go back and breastfeed him. Please, let us go, I beg you! I’ll give you two thousand. That’s all I have on me now…” The husband grabbed the thug’s sleeve as he profusely pleaded.

“Let go of my clothes! You’re a food delivery man, and God knows how much germs and bacteria are on your hands. Touch my clothes again, and I’ll kill you!” Brother Tempest growled as he looked at the delivery man’s hand on his clothes.

The delivery man loosened his grip immediately, but no one would expect his next action—he knelt on the ground and started pleading again.

“Please, Sir… Please, I beg you! You’re a good man!”

“So much nonsense! Don’t play your pity card! I don’t buy it!” Brother Tempest kicked the delivery man at his stomach that sent him a few steps back. “Does it matter how old your kid is to me?” he sneered. “You have two choices: Give me one hundred thousand and you two can leave, or leave your wife with us. Pick!”

“He won’t choose!” A cold and disdainful deep voice shot through the space at this moment.

jackie and Tanya slowly came to view soon after, and the pair approached the thug in tandem.

“Who the heck are you?” Brother Tempest’s expression hardened as he turned around, annoyance written across his face.

He was momentarily stunned at what he saw before his expression changed. “Oh, it’s you,” he spoke. “What’s the matter? Had too many drinks that you’re feeling tipsy right now, huh? What now? Alcohol gave you the courage to step up for this couple?”

“Brother Tempest, the two women beside this punk are so good-looking. We’d strike the jackpot if he’s genuinely here to help this couple out. We could take these two women together with this man’s wife later!” A plump thick thug had a lopsided smirk on his face.

“It’s not a bad idea. I didn’t think about it at first, but since this punk wants to defend the couple, he can’t blame me for taking his women away, right?” Brother Tempest laughed out loud as well.

jackie, on the other hand, did not bother to pay attention to the other party. He turned to the man who was on his knees and said, “Tiger, get up! You do have other choices tonight!”

Tiger had seen jackie before this whole fiasco even started. He felt as though this man looked a little familiar, but he just could not put a finger on it.

Now that he heard his voice, his eyes went round and his jaw dropped. “J— jackie? Is that you?”

“Yes, my friend. I’ve returned from the military.” jackie nodded and chucked. “I never thought you’d be married and have a kid in these five years! Five years… How time flies!”

“Tiger, is… Is this the man that you’ve told me before? Your former colleague, your good brother, jackie?” The woman’s eyes widened as she looked at jackie in surprise. She had heard from Tiger that jackie had gone for the military five years ago and had not come back since then. They were afraid that jackie might have died on the battlefield as he sacrificed his life for the country. Yet, here he was. Never did it cross their minds that jackie was alive and well.

Chapter 419 Regardless, jackie’s return did not matter. He was just a soldier, returned from the army. He had no means of defeating these people on his own, let alone offending the Eagle Clan.

“ jackie, I… I’m sorry that you have to see I’m a mess right now. Our first meeting is you seeing me kneeling before others!” Tiger bent and lowered his head as though life had not been merciful on him.

He was no longer the one who drank with jackie a few years ago; the man with the dream of opening and owning a restaurant. The reality of life had smoothed his edges. Life had forced him to bend his body, and he became inferior to reality.

“Get up!” Grief pierced through jackie’s heart like thousands of needles. “Tiger, if you’re still a man, you shouldn’t kneel to this group of rubbish! Get up, now! I, as your big brother, command you to get up! Now!”

“But…” Tiger lifted his head and looked at jackie with pleading eyes. “ jackie, please leave. I don’t want to drag you into this! I’ll handle it! Please leave!”

“You? What can you do? Don’t pretend to be tough! Get up! Get on your feet now!” jackie gritted his teeth as he balled his fists tightly.

He knew stubbornness was the only thing holding Tiger up when he said he could handle it. If Tiger genuinely had a solution, he would not have to get on his knee in front of these b*stards.

“Tiger, one last time, get up! Trust your dearest big brother!” This time, it was Tiger’s wife who went forward and pulled him up forcibly.

She truly believed that since jackie had pushed Tiger to get back up, surely he must have had some way to handle this situation. Besides, jackie was a veteran. It was not easy at all to be able to stay on the battlefield for five years and survive! Although she did not know where jackie’s courage was coming from, she at least knew that made him brave enough to go against the Eagle Clan.

“Oh, so you know each other!” Brother Tempest laughed wickedly. He then waved his hand to his underlings who were standing outside the food stall. The underlings approached jackie slowly, malicious grins on their faces as they did.

“Hmph! Looks like you’re his big brother.” The thug bellowed before he continued, “Not bad! In that case, are you planning to help him out? Are you going to pay up 100 thousand for him?”

“But, I’ll have to apologize in advance. The issue can no longer be solved with that amount anymore! You’ve offended me once again, so the cost will be at least 200 thousand dollars! If you can’t take it out, your little brother’s woman and the two women of yours will all be coming with us tonight!”

Brother Tempest looked at jackie with half-lidded eyes, and a huge evil grin was plastered on his face. His eyes were flooded with corrupted and perverted intentions. “So, you were a soldier, huh? Did you truly think that after five years as a soldier, you could play a superhero here? You’re too naive. Wake up! This is Eastfield!”

Tanya’s face reddened when she heard their exchange, dumbfounded in silence. Once again, she and Yvonne were mistaken as jackie’s women. Nonetheless, jackie did not bother to explain their relationships with such a bunch of garbage.

The corners of his mouth quirked up, and it formed a tight smile. “People? I’ll be taking them. Money? Nothing for you.”

“Motherf*cker!” Brother Tempest snapped his fingers. “My fellow brothers, what are you waiting for? Since the man has asked for a good beating, let’s give him that!” he barked, blatant annoyance detected in his tone.

“I never thought that there’d be so much rubbish in the world. Since you’re so fond of doing evil deeds, then there’s no need for you to continue living in this world!” jackie’s eyes were fixated on the thugs that stood before him. His eyes were cold and terrifying, as though he was looking at his prey. His body emitted a combative and truculent aura that sent chills to the crowd.

Chapter 420 “How arrogant!” Three of the thugs went forward and surrounded jackie in an instant. They balled their fists and charged towards jackie.

jackie threw his punches at lightning speed that one’s eyes could not even keep up. The three thugs— who rushed toward jackie—were punched square in the face, and they fell to the ground without even touching a single strand of jackie’s hair. The blood oozed from their gums and over their swollen lips. With sheer terror showing in their eyes, they died.

“This…” Brother Tempest was initially standing aside haughtily with his arms crossed at his chest, ready to witness a bloodbath. Never did he expect that all his three underlings would die in the next second!

Too caught up in the moment, he gulped audibly. “W—What?!”

Many onlookers were shocked at the outcome as well.

“He murdered them… Oh my f*cking god! How dare he kill the people from the Eagle clan?”

“Yes, this young man is something else. Quite a bold man, he is!”

“But this is definitely working. The thugs from the Eagle clan were such bullies, and this young man is truly a skilled veteran! This combat skill of his is terrifying, and he managed to kill three people in just a few seconds!”

Not long after, the crowd started commenting about the situation energetically. Several people even stumbled back a few steps as the scene had frightened them.

“You punk. I—no—we’re from the Eagle Clan. How dare you kill our people? Let me tell you: Do you know how many people are there in the Eagle Clan? Thousands! How are you going to fight us?” Brother Tempest was also startled by jackie at first, but his confidence immediately rushed back when he was reminded of the numbers behind him.

“ jackie, why did you kill them when you can just teach them a lesson? You killed them; that means you’ll be going against the Eagle Clan!” Tiger’s wife was preoccupied. This time, jackie had successfully caused trouble.

The Eagle Clan was exceptionally powerful. There were so many witnesses here, and it would be easy for the other party to know jackie was the killer.

“Whoever lays his hand on my brother deserves to die!” jackie smiled coldly and turned his head to face the so-called Brother Tempest. “Kneel before my brother and apologize to him! Do you hear me?”

“This…” Brother Tempest’s expression began to dim, but when he glanced at the corpses on the ground, he could only grit his teeth and knelt before Tiger.

“S—Sorry, I—I was wrong!” Rage churned inside of Brother Tempest and his face bitter, but to walk out of this place alive, he had to apologize to Tiger.

“Forget it. Let’s just forget about what happened today!” Tiger was terror-stricken. He did not know what to do, and his voice was even trembling when he spoke.

“I am the killer. Me, jackie White. I know you’re upset about it, so I’m going to give you the opportunity to avenge them. Tomorrow, eight at night, come meet me at the small forest outside the city. I’ll show up on time. You can bring as many people as you please, and we’ll conclude today’s issue at that time. How about that?”

“It’s a deal, kid! The words are from your mouth!” As soon as Brother Tempest heard jackie’s suggestion, he immediately shot up from the ground. With an imposing manner, he barked, “You suggested it yourself! Don’t ever regret it when the time comes!”

“Get out of here!” jackie cast the other party one last deadly stare, his eyes full of disdain.

Chapter 421 Brother Tempest merely scoffed. “I’ll be seeing you tomorrow,” he spoke before leaving the scene.

“How much is the total, Boss?” Yvonne merely gave a small smile before taking out about 8 thousand dollars and placed it on the table. “This includes our meal and taking care of the three corpses,” she spoke. “Shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“No, no problem at all. Of course there’d be no problem!”

The boss immediately ran out while cackling out loud before saying, “F*ck. Brother Tempest and his men are no good people; I’ve been patient with them for quite some time. These people are used to bullying the weak, and the people weren’t bold enough to stand up to them. Not to mention, they never once paid for anything when they ate here. They kept telling me that they owe me for the time being and their debt has snowballed to several thousand dollars now. They’ve never paid once.”

“Yeah, we always wanted these people dead. Thank you, kind sir!”

“Yeah! That veteran sure is something. He took care of them without breaking a sweat!”

Praises began to gush from the spectators as they hailed jackie.

It was then when an old man took two steps forward toward jackie.

“Buddy, take my advice and leave Eastfield as soon as possible,” advised the old man. “Don’t attend the fight. They have strength in numbers, and there are plenty of powerhouses in the Eagle Clan. Only by escaping here and leaving as far as possible will you be able to live.”

jackie merely chuckled. He did not seem alarmed in the slightest. “Don’t you worry, Grandpa. As long as I’m here, those people will never see the light of day!”

“Sigh, jackie, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have crossed those people from the Eagle Clan. What are you going to do? Are you actually going to meet them for the fight tomorrow?” Tiger sighed, the guilt overwhelming him at that instant.

“Don’t worry. It’s nothing I haven’t faced before.” After some thought, jackie said, “It’s getting late now, so you should hurry home now. I have to head home, too. Tell me where you live and I’ll visit you whenever I’m free. We can catch up over some drinks someday.”

“Alright…” Tiger nodded before he told jackie his address, turning to look back every once a while at him. He left with his wife in complete guilt.

“Great!” Yvonne chirped and clapped the moment Tiger and his wife were out of sight. “Seems like everything turned out well, though it appears that you’ve crossed paths with some powerhouses.”

jackie cracked a bitter smile. It was never his intention to get involved in a mess he did not want, but for his friend’s sake, he had to step in. He regretted nothing. Even if he had another chance to do things differently, he would choose to do the same.

“The Eagle Clan is quite a prominent clan, though. However, that Brother Tempest guy doesn’t seem like any major members within the clan, so don’t you guys worry. He won’t be able to get more than a dozen

men here!” Tanya smiled and said, “Kill those men when the time comes. As long as it’s not anyone important, the Eagle Clan would never investigate this matter.”

jackie was stunned for a moment. “Really?” jackie spoke before he added, “My, it seems you understand the Eagle Clan quite well.”

“More or less, I suppose. The Eagle Clan has about roughly a thousand members. Their strength lies in their numbers, though.”

“Another thing to note would be their pocket clans underneath them. They have a few hundred of those, and those minor clans are all under the control of the main clan. Those minor clans would boast with the name of the Eagle Clan when they roam or stir up trouble. In reality, however, they’re not exactly considered important members of the Eagle Clan. These minor clans are all beneath them,” Tanya explained. “More than 10 members from these minor clans die each day, but the Eagle Clan don’t seem bothered.”

The moment Tanya finished, she turned to look at Yvonne. “Oh no,” she spoke anxiously, “Yvonne is genuinely drunk!”

Chapter 422 jackie and Tanya quickly went to Yvonne’s side. Yvonne was slumped over on the table at this moment, soundly asleep.

“So that’s why she was silent for the longest time; she’s asleep. Now what are we going to do? We didn’t drive out here.” Tanya glanced at jackie before she added, “You’ll have to carry her back.”

“Well, that’s not appropriate, right?” jackie gave Yvonne a once-over. The awkwardness he felt was so strong that it showed on his face.

Yvonne’s breasts were rather large, and it was just his bad luck that she wore a rather skimpy skirt. Most of her thighs were exposed. If he was to carry her back, it would be impossible for him to not touch her

body… The most important thing was, although Yvonne was sexy and dressed boldly, he could tell Yvonne was not that innocent of a woman.

jackie assumed she had not exactly let go of the incident from back then. Otherwise, she would never have tried so desperately to outdrink him and get him drunk.

“What isn’t appropriate? You’re not expecting me to carry her back, are you?” Tanya rolled her eyes at jackie. “It’s getting late. Don’t you want to get home early?” she spoke.

Left without a choice, jackie could only laugh in defeat before pulling Yvonne to her feet effortlessly. He then squatted down and carried Yvonne on his back.

She slumped over onto jackie’s back while jackie hugged both her legs. This made him feel very conflicted. He had never carried Selena to this day. He never expected that the first woman he would carry on his back would be Yvonne. If he had known this would be the outcome for today, he would have driven here earlier. He blamed himself for suggesting that they walked here as he thought the distance was not too far. Tanya, who was walking next to them, chuckled mischievously when she noticed jackie’s look of mild distress.

“You seem flustered and embarrassed. Are you?” Upon noticing jackie’s silence while maintaining a cold expression, she added, “Come on now, you have such a helpless look on your face. Had it been any other man, they would’ve been ecstatic to be able to carry such a beautiful woman on their back. Oh man, those legs… those breasts…” Cue the fake coughs from Tanya. “You know. Aren’t you supposed to feel extremely happy?”

“I haven’t even carried my wife yet. I didn’t expect…” jackie felt guilty. He felt like he had wronged Selena.

Tanya had nearly passed out from his comment as she said, “No way, right. Your child is already so old now, and you…”

As she spoke, she suddenly realized something before continuing, “I almost forgot that you enlisted to fight on Ivan’s behalf back then. You became a soldier on the very next day of your marriage. That journey took five years, and you had just returned. Your relationship with your wife isn’t all that deep then…” Something then dawned on her. “If that’s the case, would your wife stop you from sleeping with her, from touching her?”

To cover his embarrassment, he rolled his eyes at her. “You little brat, how could you be this curious?” he dismissed her. “I think you should get yourself a boyfriend to keep you under control! You live like a little child. Even when you walk, you’d hop around like a child!”

Tanya made an ugly face at jackie before walking in front of jackie with both arms behind her back while she began to hop around. She looked like a spoiled little princess.

“Hmph! There’s nothing wrong with it,” she sassily countered. “This way, I’d live free and happy. How nice is that? I can’t always live like you, keeping such a bitter look on your face all day!”

As they were about to cross a zebra crossing at this moment, a car unexpectedly ran a red light and was speeding toward them.

“Look out!”

jackie was like a deer caught in headlights. By instinct, he swiftly pulled Tanya to him.

Chapter 423 “Not good!” Instantly realizing Yvonne was still on his back, he quickly stretched out to hold onto Yvonne.

As Yvonne was already light on her feet in her drunken state, the force of jackie’s tug made her stumble and fell onto him. jackie was wedged between two women. As he lost his balance, he stumbled and fell onto Tanya since her weight had dragged him down with her.

She had pulled jackie’s arm in fright and fear, thus the force of her tug pulled him down with her.

All of that happened in an instant. His only intention was to keep both women from harm, yet jackie was sandwiched between both Tanya and Yvonne in the end.

“Ugh!” Tanya never expected the instant she fell, and by pulling jackie toward her, their lips would meet.

Time had seemingly stopped moving at that instant as jackie’s weight pinned her down. Her blush seared through her face as her breathing became labored.

“Nghh…” Utterly speechless, he immediately raised his head and was about to get up.

He had forgotten that an extra weight—Yvonne—was pushing him down, and he fell back once more. jackie felt extremely flustered. As he had just parted his lips from Tanya, Yvonne who had fallen on top of him, pushed their lips together again.

Of course, Tanya knew it was all an accident, but that happened to be her first kiss. It was, indeed… Hundreds of thoughts went rampant in her mind. This was way too much of a coincidence, and the entire situation was way too embarrassing.

“Oh my god, I actually kissed a married man. His child is already four… I…” Tanya felt so embarrassed. Although Tanya had so much respect for her bodyguard, she never had any ulterior intentions toward him. This entire situation was far too cruel for her.

jackie was stunned for a second before stumbling his way from them. He then helped Tanya up and carried Yvonne on his back again.

“I assume you know that was an accident earlier. I didn’t mean to do that. You wouldn’t call me a creep, right?”

Embarrassment swept over jackie as he hoisted Yvonne to his back once more, unable to meet Tanya’s eyes. Tanya was still a young lady, and he actually…

“Yeah, I know that you won’t intentionally do that. Don’t you worry, I won’t call you a creep.” Tanya’s blush never left her face, and her flustered expression remained unchanged. Her cheeks still felt warm.

“Yeah, that car actually ran a red light earlier. What a horrible driver!” Flustered, jackie quipped up a conversation as he changed the topic skillfully. In truth, he was breaking out with cold sweat. He would be lying if he said both Tanya and Yvonne did not smell sweet at the slightest, but his conscience reminded him that he already had a wife, so he should not have any inappropriate thoughts.

“Yeah, what a horrible driver!” Tanya stomped her feet. She then looked at jackie as she mustered a reply, “Thank God you pulled me out of the way earlier. Otherwise, I would’ve been run over earlier. Still…could you not tell anyone about what happened earlier? It’s too embarrassing.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take it to my grave.” jackie let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately for him, Tanya was still a reasonable woman. She would not throw a fit at him or resent him over something they both had no control over.

Chapter 424 “You wouldn’t want me to carry her back to the room as well, right?” jackie frowned when he realized they were approaching the Drake family’s residence entrance. He felt somewhat abashed.

After all, it would embarrass him to no end if any of the bodyguards on patrol, or even the ones standing guard at the door, spotted him.

“Nonsense. Are you expecting me to carry her, then? Besides, she’s already on your back. so hurry up and carry her to the bed.”

Tanya rolled her eyes at jackie. She could not shake off the awkward feeling she was experiencing after jackie had kissed her. Twice, even.

“Hold on a second.” Noticing something, she immediately took out a piece of wet napkin. “Come, let me help wipe your mouth.”

She gently wiped jackie’s mouth as she spoke. “Oh my god… There’s lipstick stain on it,” she fretted. “If anyone were to notice this, nothing we say can paint us as innocent.”

jackie cringed as he heard that statement, and he thanked his lucky stars that Tanya noticed such a small detail. Otherwise, if he had headed home and Selena noticed it instead, how on Earth was he going to explain to her? Not to mention, he had an unreasonable mother-in-law at home. Nevermind her daughter; would his mother-in-law not have forced jackie to divorce her daughter immediately?

“Oh, thank goodness you noticed that.” As he stared at Tanya who was carefully wiping his lips for him, embarrassment crept in him once more. He wanted nothing more than to hide away in a crack somewhere. His entire face had a pink tint to it.

“All done!” Tanya turned around and forced herself to stay calm, even though her heart was pounding. This was her first time doing something so intimate. She was slowly becoming a nervous wreck.

Moreover, jackie was undeniably handsome. His face looked perfectly detailed as it screamed masculinity. This dashing face made her nervous in an instant. However, she did not help Yvonne to wipe away her lipstick while she was being carried on jackie’s back because it would be very inconvenient to do so.

The trio finally arrived at the main entrance at last. When the few bodyguards noticed jackie and Tanya, they frantically greeted her. When they raised their heads once more, however, all of them wore the look of surprise on their faces when they looked at jackie. One of them was so shocked that he was literally wide-eyed. His eyeballs nearly popped off of his sockets.

Yvonne was a well-known beauty, and the main attraction was how sexy and feminine she looked. Her body was, for a lack of a better term, otherworldly! The most important point was that this woman was incredibly protective of herself. Plenty of young masters who failed to pursue Tanya due to her incredibly high status would then move on to pursue Yvonne instead.

However, no matter what gifts were given or how much they expressed their love, Yvonne would never agree to their advances. She would also never enter a bar or any places similar to one. Only Tanya could drag her out for a karaoke session in any normal circumstances. Yet, here they were: jackie was carrying Yvonne at his back. This scene alone made everyone jealous.

jackie lowered his head and strode in. He wanted nothing more than to avoid the staring gazes of these people as soon as possible. He felt skittish, but he willed himself to calm down. They should know he was the fearless Supreme Warrior, even when facing enemies by tens of thousands. Those enemy forces would tremble at the sheer mention of the Supreme Warrior. The allies, however, would be more motivated to fight in battle at the sheer mention of the Supreme Warrior! Such a powerful figure actually felt considerably nervous and bashful at this moment. The other veterans might be extremely shocked and surprised if they heard about it.

“Miss Tanya! jackie!” Just when jackie thought he could have a breather, he heard Kyle’s rough and rowdy voice from behind.

“Kyle, Harvey, what are you guys doing here?” Tanya turned around and asked, a bashful smile on her face.

Chapter 425 “Oh, we just got back from having a few drinks outside!” Kyle laughed as he stared at the woman on his back. He cheekily gave jackie a thumbs-up. “You sure are something, Boss,” he spoke nonchalantly. “Other common folk would carry their beauties back in their arms and you, on the other hand, gave a beautiful woman a piggyback ride!”

jackie felt overwhelmed internally as he shot Kyle a menacing glare. “What nonsense are you spouting? You’re really asking for a beatdown, aren’t you?” he spluttered. “Miss Yvonne is drunk, and I’m only carrying her back!”

Harvey chuckled since jackie was worshipped as every Drake bodyguard’s idol. All of them highly respected him. jackie should know that not even the Three Major Guardians of the Drake family had

such treatment.

“Hurry up and scram! I am an honorable man, so why should I feel guilty about anything anyway?” jackie glared at everyone before turning around and entering the mansion with Yvonne on his back.

Tanya burst into laughter as she followed jackie closely behind.

“Boss sure is something, alright. He got Miss Yvonne drunk!”

“Yeah. When about seven to eight of us went out for a meal previously, we ran into Miss Yvonne, and she outdrank us all.”

“Wow. Our boss sure is worthy of being our boss. This time, he avenged us!”

A few bodyguards started chattering among themselves the second jackie was out of earshot.

“Wow… Sharing a meal with two beautiful women. When will I get such treatment?” Harvey sighed as he walked forward.

“You? Your next life, perhaps!” Kyle replied before bursting into a fit of giggles.

“Wow, you’re incredible. Not a single sweat from your body after carrying her for such a long distance. You don’t even seem tired!” Tanya exclaimed as she watched jackie place Yvonne on the bed before taking off her shoes.

“This weight is nothing to actual powerhouses. Would you believe me if I tell you that even with two Yvonnes on my back, I wouldn’t even break a sweat?” jackie spoke with a calm smile.

He did not expect Tanya would roll her eyes at him. “You sure are greedy,” she muttered. “Having one beautiful woman on your back isn’t enough for you, and you want two instead?”

jackie was speechless.

“Alright, now. It’s getting late, and I need to head home.” jackie was about to turn around and leave after taking a look at his watch.

“Hey, no way. You’d leave just like that? Won’t you carry her into the washroom to bathe her since the weather was so hot? I can’t possibly move her, you know!” Tanya called out to him just as he took a few steps forward.

jackie was exasperated once more. “I’m a man, alright?” he spoke in agitation. “If you can’t move her, you can have a few of your maids to move her for you, you know?”

“I was just messing with you. You should see how terrified you looked.”

Tanya then rolled her eyes at jackie before adding, “You’re no fun! If you were any other men, they’d drool over themselves after hearing that.”

jackie was stunned for a second before shaking his head. He turned around and walked downstairs.

Chapter 426 jackie drove his car and soon reached home.

“You’re back so late, and you stink of alcohol. How much did you drink with Tanya?” Selena had already taken her bath. She was lying on the bed while fiddling with her phone.

She placed her phone away and got up from the bed when she saw jackie return.

“I don’t even want to talk about it. That Yvonne, Tanya’s cousin, is an alcohol fiend. She forced me to drink with her.” jackie laughed drily. He dug through his closet for his pajamas and prepared to go to bed.

Selena went behind him and sniffed. “That can’t be. Why do I smell perfume on your body? Didn’t you say that you weren’t together with that rich lady? Didn’t you say that the rich lady is a Goddess of War and your friend?” Selena rambled. “Hmph! I think that you didn’t go drink with Miss Drake, but instead went to look for that rich lady!”

jackie was rather surprised at how Selena’s nose was sensitive enough to discern the scent of perfume on him.

He bitterly laughed before replying, “Don’t worry, Selena. Your husband is a righteous and moral man. Do I look like someone who’d rely on a rich lady for money?”

Selena tilted her head and pouted. “I can’t say for sure… You’re quite handsome, and you do have the potential,” she replied coldly.

jackie was not angry when he heard that. Instead, a warm feeling spread throughout his being. He took a step forward and wound his arms around Selena’s waist. “Are you jealous, Honey? I didn’t expect that you’d care for me so much!”

“In your dreams. I don’t care for you at all!” Selena struggled out of jackie’s arms and took two steps backward. “Let me make this clear, jackie White., I won’t blame you if you could get other women to fall in love with you, but if you become some woman’s boy toy just for money, I’ll be the first one to spit in your face.”

“Is there a difference?” jackie was confused.

Selena lifted a chin and crossed her arms. “Of course there’s a difference. In the former situation, my husband is a capable and charming man deserving love from other women. In the latter situation, my husband is a useless bum who can’t support his family without being some rich woman’s boy toy!”

“Don’t worry, I’m definitely not some rich woman’s boy toy,” jackie said with a dry smile. “Didn’t I say earlier that Yvonne Drake wanted to find someone to drink with her? She was drunk and couldn’t move, and I had no choice but to carry her on my back. That’s why I have perfume on my back!”

He shrugged and threw up his hands. “I’m telling you the truth anyway. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Miss Drake!”

“Alright, I know. Go and take your shower. You still have work tomorrow morning.” Selena smiled and pushed jackie toward the bathroom.

“How about you come with me, Honey? I’d like some company!” jackie could not help but tease the beautiful woman in front of him.

“I’ve already taken my shower!” Selena rolled her eyes. “You’re not handsome, but your thoughts are wild!”

“Well, didn’t you say that I have the potential to be some rich woman’s boy toy? Why am I not handsome now?”

“Maybe you’ve found yourself a blind rich woman!” Selena rolled her eyes again, though she felt warmth in her heart in this. She suddenly realized that she was falling deeper in love with that man. He merely returned a few hours later than before, and she was already worrying about him. If that had happened in the past, she would have gone to bed first.

The next morning, Yvonne sat up and stretched after she woke up. Her arms then froze in the air as she bore the look of utter confusion.

Chapter 427 Yvonne lowered her head to look at her body and noticed she was wearing spaghetti strap pajamas.

Yvonne sucked in a mouthful of cold air. “Oh my god… That can’t be. How did I get home last night? Who bathed me and put on clothes for me?”

She deduced that Tanya was not the one to have carried her home, and she gradually became frightened. “Don’t tell me it’s jackie.”

Coincidentally, Tanya opened the door to her room and walked in at that moment.

“Oh, you’re awake? I thought that you’d still be sleeping. I didn’t expect that you could lose to jackie White in drinking.” Tanya was rather surprised when she saw Yvonne sitting upright.

“Tanya, how…did I get back here last night? Did jackie White carry me here? Did we take a cab?” Yvonne came to her senses when she saw Tanya entering the room. Her questions gushed out before she could even clear her thoughts.

“It’s very near, so we didn’t take a cab,” Tanya spoke before chuckling lightly. “You were too drunk, so I asked jackie to carry you on his back,” Tanya added.

“What? Are you saying I was sprawled on his back?”

Yvonne was at a loss of words; guilt and shame overrode her senses. Most importantly, she was scantily dressed the night before, and she did not know if that guy did anything unpleasant to her while carrying her drunk self. She could not remember anything at all.

“You don’t say? Don’t tell me that you’re still muddled by the alcohol? How else would he be able to carry you if not that you’re sprawled on his back?” Tanya laughed when she saw Yvonne’s confused face.

“Then… Who changed my clothes? Don’t tell me that it’s him, too?” Yvonne looked miserable. “That guy… Don’t tell me he did something to me while I was dead drunk!”

Tanya was flabbergasted. “Don’t worry, he’s not that type of person. You were totally wiped out, and that’s why we didn’t put you in the bath. I got the servants to change you into pajamas.”

She sat down next to Yvonne on the bed, giggling. “Let me tell you, Yvonne. jackie was so embarrassed when I asked him to carry you back last night. He didn’t agree to it at first, too! We bumped into Harvey along the way,” Tanya spoke before giggles escaped her lips. “You should’ve seen how red his face was!”

“What’s he embarrassed about? That guy took advantage of me! I should be the one embarrassed, now that Harvey saw me in that state!” Yvonne was blushing intensely. “That guy knows that I’m a girl, yet he doesn’t show me any mercy when drinking.”

“Ahem! Sister Yvonne, you’re the one who forced him into a drinking contest last night. Don’t you remember how cocky you were last night?” Tanya laughed drily.

“Whatever. I’m going to take a bath. Really, that freak! How does he have such a large capacity for alcohol?” Yvonne stepped angrily into the bathroom.

Later on, jackie gave Tanya a call and told her he had some business to attend to. He would not be going to the Drake family home that day. He lazed in his house until about noon when he decided that he ought to keep a low profile. Then, he took a cab to Carefree Villa.

Chapter 428 Carefree Villa was a place only the wealthy could afford. The villa boasted an excellent view and tranquil surroundings. The buildings were built inspired by buildings of old. One would feel as though they were transported back in time the moment they stepped inside. Under normal circumstances, the minimum spending there would be 10 thousand dollars per person. To reserve the entire villa would cost at least 5 million a day.

However, things were different today. The owner waived all minimum spending requirements and prepared many fine dishes and liquor for everyone. He also set up a temporary stage and hired several singers for entertainment. The person who had reserved the entire villa was someone of great importance. He was Magnus Sutherland, a King of War with an illustrious battle record.

One had to know that the King of War was only lesser to the Supreme Warrior. Moreover, Magnus was a Seven-Star King of War. There were many Kings of War, but each King of War was different. They were ranked according to their individual abilities, their performance on the battlefield, and their contributions to the country. There were only two officer ranks: Marshal and Major. The divisions of the Kings of War were more ambiguous, though they could be approximately graded from one star to nine stars. The more

stars to a King of War’s rank, the more powerful they were and the bigger their contribution to the country. It could also describe their career in the military.

Magnus Sutherland was a seven-star King of War and was evidently an influential figure. That was why the owner of Carefree Villa wanted to get on his good side. However, the owner felt rather anxious that he had no clue as to how many guests would be joining him. He would rather have the chefs over- prepare the food; he could have the chefs cook on the spot should there be not enough food. Even if there were less attendees, he would not mind splurging for this event either.

“Sixty tables’ worth of food is too much, Master! They’re all main courses, too. This is too wasteful!” One of the chefs was worried that most of the food would go to waste. After all, a chef would not want to see his effort go to waste.

“Don’t worry; that should be about right. There won’t be too much wastage, either. This is seven-star King of War Magnus Sutherland we’re talking about. We shouldn’t skimp on his event. Do you think that a seven-star King of War won’t have many guests? You’ll have all those Head Commanders and assistant commanders here, eager to please him.”

“Based on his party theme ‘Reminiscing the Memories of Battle’, many wealthy merchants and politicians would be fighting for a spot in the event.”

“I’m sure all those second-class and third-class aristocratic families want in on this!”

The owner of Carefree Villa grinned. “I didn’t expect a Seven-Star King of War would host a party at Carefree Villa. This is the best opportunity for me to butter up to him. If I don’t charge him a single cent, it means that he’ll owe us a debt of gratitude. Understand?”

“Hmm, I wonder how’s this King of War Magnus Sutherland is like? I wonder if he’s as street-wise as you think,” the chef asked out of curiosity.

“Of course he is!” The owner smiled calmly. “Remember, though, that this is just between you and me. You better not mention any of this once you exit this room. He likes to collect antiques and other valuable items, though he doesn’t care about money that much. After all, he’s a seven-star King of War. The country must be giving him tens of billions as a reward whenever he returns from battle.”

Master Miller paused for a while before he continued, “What’s more, he’s fond of beautiful women. Not many people know about this, and I only heard it through a marshal.”

“So that’s how he is!”

The chef nodded. “If you know what he likes, then you should be able to customize the event to suit his tastes, Master Miller.”

“That’s true, though this Magnus Sutherland hides that side of him quite well…”

Chapter 429 Master Miller nodded and looked at his watch. “Alright, it’s almost time. Go inform the other chefs that we’ll have to serve up all the dishes by 12 sharp. There can’t be any mistakes, understand?”

Master Miller then straightened his shirt collar and went outside. “I’ll go outside and take a look. There should be many guests outside. I ought to go and introduce myself to them.”

At this moment, jackie arrived alone at the entrance of Carefree Villa.

“Greetings, Sir. How may I help you?” A hostess stepped up to jackie and displayed a courteous smile on her face.

“I…” jackie was momentarily silent as he racked his brain for a reply. After a while, he continued, “I’m here to participate in the veterans’ gathering. ‘Reminiscing the Memories of Battle’!”

The hostess grinned. “I know that you’re here for the gathering, Sir. I’d like to know your status and rank. Let me process the registration for you, and our master has prepared a commemorative badge for

everyone in the event. You can pin the badge on your clothes!”

jackie thought for a while before he replied, “I’m just a normal soldier. Since the King of War is hosting a gathering, I’m just here to meet up with some friends and chat over a drink!”

The smile on the hostess’s face faded a little when she heard that he was a mere soldier.

“Oh.” She mumbled a reply before walking away, only to return with a badge made of bronze. “This is the commemorative badge for you, Sir, and you may put it on yourself. Thank you for visiting Carefree Villa. We hope that you have a great time here.”

“Alright!” jackie smiled at the hostess before walking away, prepared to don the badge.

At the same time, a short-haired woman with straight bangs walked toward the entrance. She bore an unyielding demeanor, and one could tell at first glance that she was a veteran.

“Greetings, Madam…” The hostess went to greet her and gave her the same introductory speech.

The woman smiled after the hostess was done speaking. “I’m just a Head Commander. Do I have to register my name?”

“Oh, there’s no need. Here’s your commemorative badge. Welcome to the gathering. Here, let me put it on for you. You have such a great physique! I’m envious!”

The hostess smiled as she helped the woman put on the badge. jackie looked at the woman’s badge, then at his own. He furrowed his brows.

The badge was only as big as his thumb. On it was written ‘Reminiscing the Memories of Battle’, and below it was ‘Carefree Villa’ in a smaller font.

jackie thought that it was rather considerate for the venue to sponsor those commemorative badges. It was a nice memento of the event, and they could advertise themselves at the same time. However, he

soon noticed that the woman’s badge was made of a different material than his. His badge was made of bronze, while the female Head Commander’s badge was made of silver. jackie was not too happy he was treated differently.

Chapter 430 The female Head Commander noticed jackie. She smiled at him and went inside.

jackie stood at the side, pretending to admire the bonsai plants. More and more people arrived at the venue. As expected, normal soldiers received bronze commemorative badges while Head Commanders and their assistants received silver ones.

A few minutes later, a man arrived. The man was a Major, and the hostess’s attitude toward him was a lot friendlier. jackie glanced at that man’s commemorative badge as he walked past; it was made of gold. The design of all the badges was about the same, though the material was far different.

A short while later, a one-star King of War arrived. He looked rather young and spirited. That person’s badge was made of platinum. jackie shook his head bitterly. He concluded that the badges were indeed given according to their rank.

“Hey, why haven’t you gone inside yet? Why are you standing here? It’s almost noon!” The King of War noticed jackie and smiled at him.

“Oh, I’m just looking around!” jackie replied to him with a smile.

The King of War gave an exuberant chuckle. “Those beautiful hostesses have caught your eye, right? Why, is there anyone that you like? If there is, just go ahead and get her number! We’re all hardened fighters on the battlefield. If we’re not even scared of the enemy, why should we be afraid of women?”

The King of War laughed heartily and went inside. jackie did not know how to react. He eventually prepared himself to go inside.

At that time, several Rolls Royces arrived at the entrance and were parked at a vacant space. A man with a crew-cut hairstyle who looked to be in his forties stepped out of one of the cars. A plump man wearing a large gold necklace came out of the car behind him. Many more bodyguards appeared behind that man.

The man in his forties at the front was evidently someone from the battlefield. jackie could sense his intimidating presence from afar. Meanwhile, the fat man with a gold necklace behind was obviously from a wealthy family who looked rather jaded.

“This way please, King Sutherland!” The wealthy man was incredibly courteous toward the man in his forties. He stepped forward quickly and bowed at the man.

“Excuse me, but who might you be?”

A hostess noticed the group of people coming, eyebrows furrowed as she looked on.

The wealthy man stepped up to her and scoffed. “Don’t you know who he is? He’s Magnus Sutherland, the seven-star King of War! He’s the organizer of the event today!”

The hostesses nearby were staggered when they heard that. “Welcome, King of War!” They bowed deeply.

“Alright, alright, enough with the formalities. How many people have arrived?” Magnus Sutherland gestured for them to be at ease.

“Reporting to the King of War. Not many people are here, but there should be about 100 guests inside!” one of the hostesses curtly replied.

Meanwhile, another hostess who went to pick a badge came back and handed one to him. “King Sutherland, our boss has specially prepared this commemorative badge for all the guests of this event. Please accept it!”

Chapter 431 “Hmmm! Thank you for your care!” Magnus nodded and pinned the badge on his chest.

jackie looked over from afar and his eyes were blinded by the sun’s rays that reflected off the badge. He soon realized that the badge was of high quality, as the bottom part of the badge was made of white gold and some diamonds embedded on the top part of the badge.

jackie was speechless as he lowered his head and looked at the bronze badge he wore on his chest. It was such a big difference.

The crowd walked in after they finished speaking.

“King of War Sutherland, hold on. They are?” One of the ushers immediately frowned. After all, their boss had instructed them to prepare the different badges with hopes that it would be easier for them to identify the ranks of the people in the army. With the badges, they would not mistakenly offend those they should not offend.

However, these people had yet to introduce themselves.

“Why? This is my guest, my god-brother’s son. Can’t I bring him in with me?” Magnus turned around and said coldly.

“No-no… I was just asking as it was unclear to me if he was a marshal or a King of War. After all, our boss had instructed that everybody who enters would need to put on a commemorative badge.”

“And these bodyguards…” the usher was surprised as she explained herself.

“Just give them some badges. Treat them as normal comrades and give them some commemorative badges, alright?” Obviously, Magnus did not notice the differences between the badges. He merely thought there were several designs.

“Okay!” The usher immediately brought some bronze badges over. She then walked forward with other ushers, putting them on for a rich second generation along with his bodyguards.

However, when the pretty usher was putting on the badge for the chubby rich second generation, he smiled crookedly and touched her hand. The usher was surprised and immediately moved away after putting on the badge for him.

Out of everybody’s expectations, that guy frowned and said, “This isn’t right. Why does Uncle Sutherland’s badge have diamonds on it and ours don’t?”

“Yes, ours are also ugly!” Quite a number of the bodyguards also noticed this.

“Sir, we have several types of badges. King of War Sutherland is a man of noble status and the most important person here today. Hence, we have prepared a special commemorative badge just for him!” At first, the usher was taken aback by the question. Luckily, though she had a good brain and was able to come up with an explanation quickly.

“your boss is too much. What important person am I? Today is just a normal gathering for us soldiers. Everybody is an important person today! It doesn’t matter if you’re a normal soldier who has sacrificed for the people and the country, or if you’re a marshal or King of War with admirable military service; we are all commoners today. We are brothers of war!” Magnus smiled, spewing pretentious words. It was obvious that he liked what the usher said. After all, who didn’t like being buttered up?

“That’s right. I had no idea that our King of War was so approachable!” The rich kid was slightly stunned. Immediately, he said loudly, “Cheer for him!”

His bodyguards and the waiters nearby started clapping enthusiastically!

Chapter 432 The corner of jackie’s mouth slightly twitched when he heard this. This guy was good at buttering people up.

Evidently, Magnus was very happy after hearing this and had a huge smile on his face.

He quickly controlled his emotions, stretched out his pointer and put it by the side of his mouth, “Shhh… Keep a low profile!”

“Let’s go in and take a look! I want to know who came!”

“Not bad! There are more than a hundred people here. It seems that I still have some dignity!” Magnus finally waved his hand and walked inside with the others.

“That’s for sure. Who wouldn’t want to come when they know it’s you, uncle!” his god-son immediately said.

“We cannot simply say this. After all, we didn’t do any advertising and everybody came on their own accord after hearing about it. I can’t beg for people to come over, right?” Magnus said as they walked inside.

“Young man, why are you standing here? Good dogs do not block the road, don’t you know that?” The rich second generation scolded jackie, pointing at him when he saw jackie standing at the entrance to show his loyalty. “Do you know who this is? This is Magnus Sutherland, King of War Sutherland, a seven-star King of War. He’s a well-known figure among the King of Wars!”

jackie was prepared to leave when he saw them coming. He had no idea that this fatty was so wildly arrogant and would yell at him on the spot.

His face darkened. Without thinking about how bad it would make the fatty look, he said, “A seven-star King of War? So what? Look at the distance between us, I’m five meters away from him and I was just on my way inside. How am I blocking your way? And apart from that, how can you address me as a dog even if I’m just a normal soldier?”

After he came back, jackie had been constantly reminding himself that this was not the warfield. Paired with the fact that he wanted his identity to remain concealed, he tried his best to stay under the radar. If this incident had happened while he was still the old him, this rich second generation would have lost his head by now.

Magnus wanted to scold his god-son. After all, it did not matter if jackie was a normal soldier or not; he should not have directly scolded him like that. It would not be favorable if this matter was leaked to the public as he still had an image to uphold. However, he had no idea that jackie would speak without any shame, so what if he was a seven-star King of War?

He smiled coldly before saying, “Young man, what’s your name? I can see that you’re not old, yet your tone is loud. when did people start looking down on a seven-star King of War?” He paused, did some thinking and continued, “This is the son of my god-brother and that means he’s like my own. You can pick on him as he speaks incoherently sometimes, but, it’s not good for you to directly pick on me.”

“That’s right, young man. How dare you offend the King of War? He’s our King of War, Magnus Sutherland. Do you seek death?” The bodyguards looked at jackie in anger and seemed prepared to fight if this did not go their way.

“What are you doing?” The usher was also shocked.

The pretty usher stood up and immediately walked over, “What are you doing? You’ve gotten your badge long ago. Why haven’t you gone in? What were you looking at here? You’re a soldier, don’t you know the status of a seven-star King of War? How dare you offend him?”

Chapter 433 “King of War Sutherland, I didn’t pick on you, though. He was the one who used your name and pretended to be powerful in front of us. You didn’t scold him even though everything he said was rude and obnoxious, yet you criticize me? Tut tut, I remember that you had a good reputation when you were in the army. Everybody said that you were a nice and easy-going King of War who knew right from wrong. I wouldn’t have expected this change in you since you’ve just returned not long ago.”

“Or is it possible that the soldiers’ rumors were untrue?” jackie laughed. He originally had a good impression of this King of War. Now, it just looked like he either did a good job of concealing his true nature, or he had been corrupted after returning from the battlefield.

Magnus was speechless when he heard what jackie said. He was not a good speaker and what jackie said made sense. He was currently in a dangerous position.

“Young man, how dare you criticize our King of War? You must be looking to die!” The rich kid gritted his teeth and walked two steps forward, staring at jackie angrily.

“Someone like you would’ve been the earliest to die on the battlefield!” jackie was not afraid as he looked right into the other party’s eyes.

“I’m sorry but this is not the battlefield. Young man, don’t you know that the world is in a peaceful state right now? Don’t think for once that I’m using my uncle to bully you. Let me tell you this, even if I were alone, I can easily kill you, as I’m a member of the Xenos family! It’ll be no different from pinching an ant to its death!” The rich kid smiled coldly, still as arrogant. “And apart from that, the pretty lady said you’ve already taken your badge, so why haven’t you gone in after such a long period of time?”

“weren’t we told that lunch would start at noon? Why should I rush in? Apart from that, are there rules that forbid me from standing at the entrance for a while longer?” jackie smiled, unafraid of the arrogant guy in front of him.

Although he was angry on the inside, it was a soldiers’ gathering so he did not want to kill people here and ruin everybody’s mood.

“Alright, alright!” Magnus finally spoke again. “Quil, you’ve really made a mistake. It doesn’t matter if he’s just a normal soldier, a captain or something else, he’s here for the gathering. How could you say that to him when his attendance is for my sake? And on top of that, he fought on the battlefield and brought honor to the country. You shouldn’t have said that to him because of this, do you understand?”

jackie was smiling to himself on the inside. Magnus had been waiting for jackie to compromise. Hence, he did not say anything when jackie looked straight into Quil’s eyes and argued with him.

Who could have anticipated that jackie was an upright man who was unafraid and uncompromising? Hence, Magnus had to step up and put on a show of him being upholding justice yet being understanding. It seemed that he was a cunning old fox!

“Yes, uncle, I understand and I promise it won’t happen again!” Quil’s face darkened as he smiled in embarrassment. “Everybody, let’s go! Let’s all go in!”

He immediately walked inside after he spoke.

“Wait!” jackie was stunned. “Since you now know that you’re wrong, shouldn’t you apologize to me? Isn’t it rude for you to walk away without an apology?”

Chapter 434 “Apologize?” Quil turned around, stunned. He had a “are you serious” look on his face. “Young man, did I hear you wrongly? Are you asking me to apologize to you?”

“is he dumb?”

“That’s right. Does he know where Young Master Xenos comes from?”

“Tut, tut, is he really fearless?”

One by one, Quil’s bodyguards started laughing as if they had just heard a joke.

“Yes, you know that you’re wrong. Your uncle also said that you’re wrong. If that’s the case, shouldn’t you apologize?” jackie persisted, an indifferent expression plastered on his face.

“F*ck you, you’re a real punk. I forgave you as a sign of goodwill, and yet you don’t want it? Have you thought about the consequences? I don’t want to be calculative with you because I’m a generous person

but you’re not going to let this go?!” Quil was so angry that his face turned green. It was his first time meeting such a punk and he was itching to have his bodyguards pummel him.

However, today was a gathering organized by Magnus, and it would be inappropriate for him to make a move now. Apart from that, it would be bad if the other marshals and King of Wars were to witness such a thing happening. After all, jackie had served Daxia, even though he was a normal soldier and his contribution was small.

“What’s happening here?” At this moment, Dennis Howard walked over along with two majors.

He assessed the situation and took a deep breath.

A guy wearing a gold necklace stared at jackie angrily. jackie was the Supreme Warrior; nobody here today had the right to stare at him. He was somebody who even Gods of War had to treat with respect when they met him.

“Hey, isn’t that Dennis Howard, Marshal Howard?”

“Major Leonard and Major Pendragon Mass, you’re here!” Magnus turned around and said with a smile when he caught sight of them.

“King of War Sutherland, you’re already here!”

“Hello King of War Sutherland! It’s been a long time since we met!”

The three of them immediately brought their hands together in the palm hold fist salute and greeted Magnus.

The ushers immediately took three golden badges and pinned them on their chests upon hearing that these three men were marshals

“All of you are marshals? Nice to meet you, I’m Quil Xenos. My father and uncle Sutherland are god- brothers. I followed my uncle here as I’ve been spending time with his son recently!” Quil immediately saluted them with respect when he heard that they were marshals.

Magnus had mentioned Dennis previously. He fought well and would have become a King of War if only there were no limitations on the number of people who could possess that position.

Surely, he would have been a one-star King of War.

“Young Master Xenos, what happened just now?” Dennis folded his hands symbolically and said, “This is jackie White. We’re friends and I invited him.”

Quil heard this and immediately smiled in embarrassment. “Oh, it’s not a big issue. This guy was standing by the door for a long time. My uncle was here and we were ready to enter when he blocked our way. I asked him to let us through but he refused to budge, so we got into an argument!”

“How can you say that!You were the one who said to me that ‘good dogs do not block the way’. How could I have been in your way when I was five meters away from you? How can you blame me when you know you’ve made a mistake and still refuse to apologize?” jackie smiled coldly, a murderous feeling growing inside him

Chapter 435 “Are you trying to die? How dare you talk to him like this?” Dennis was so angry that he almost burst. He slapped Quil, “You bastard! If we were on the battlefield, I would’ve sliced your head off by now!”

Slap—! The slap was powerful and loud.

Dennis understood clearly that jackie did not make a move himself because of two reasons. Number one, he felt that this person was not worth him doing anything; number two, he did not want to expose

his true identity. After all, this person was the seven-star King of War’s god-brother’s son and it would be an issue if jackie did not respect the King of War.

It would be difficult for jackie to continue hiding his identity if this matter blew up. jackie had returned a few days ago, but even his wife had no clue about his true identity. It proved that jackie really wanted a normal life. On the other hand, he, Dennis, could care less about it and had nothing to be afraid of. After all, jackie saved his life. How could he stand idly by after seeing another party speaking to jackie like that?

“How dare you slap our young master?” When the bodyguards saw their young master being hit, they rushed forward immediately. Two of them held up their fists and were prepared to attack him.

Dennis turned around with speed and punched them continuously, sending the two bodyguards flying. They hit the ground, spitting out blood.

“What’s going on? You-you hit me? He’s just a normal soldier, why can’t I speak like that?” Quil was unable to recover from the slap. He had already said clearly that his father was Magnus’s god-brother. As long as the other party was not stupid, he should have been polite to him!

After all, it would be wise to please him so he could speak well of them in front of Magnus in the future. It could be said that pleasing him was akin to pleasing the King of War.

“Why am I hitting you? Young man? Normal soldier? do you know who he is? How dare you?!” Dennis was so angry. If only this was not a soldiers’ gathering. He really wanted to kill this Xenos guy.

“Marshal Howard, isn’t your behavior a bit too much?” Magnus’s face darkened and said, “Even if it’s my nephew’s fault, you shouldn’t have done that. If he’s that important, tell me who he is, then.”

Dennis was stunned and held his breath. He almost exposed jackie’s identity.

He thought about it and said, “He… he’s a doctor that saved my life. He’s my savior so naturally, I’d get angry after hearing Mr. Xenos speak to him like that!”

“Ah, no wonder you’re so agitated!” Magnus smiled bitterly and looked behind him. More than a dozen people had come over to watch the scene. Among them were majors, marshals, commanders and some normal soldiers. Those people surrounded them and were watching them.

“Uncle, he… he doesn’t respect you. How dare he hit me when he knows that I call you uncle?”

Quil was really angry because of that, but he knew that his useless bodyguards were definitely no match for Dennis who was a marshal. He could only place his hopes on Magnus, hoping that Magnus would help him out.

“Nevermind, it was my nephew’s fault for speaking nonsense. However, there’s no need for apologies anymore since you’ve hit him. Let’s treat that as an apology. Shall we let this go, for my sake? We’re being laughed at by the others, standing here at the door. Let’s all go in!” Magnus thought and finally said.

Quil was very angry but he also knew that Magnus was someone who loved his reputation. He was the one who organized the gathering and the consequences may be bad if he caused trouble. It would also give a bad impression to the others.

‘Nevermind, I’ll deal with them next time!’ Quil swore to himself, gritting his teeth.

Chapter 436 jackie was silent for a moment before calming down. Smiling indifferently, he said, “Fine. After all, today is a gathering for us to celebrate our friendship as war buddies. I’ll let this go!”

When Quil heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. This guy was speaking as if he had been badly wronged. The person who had been wronged was him; the eldest young master of the Xenos family.

Dennis also nodded. He walked in with the two majors and jackie.

After jackie and the others left, Quil, who could not hold it in anymore, said to Magnus who was by his side, “Uncle, how can we just let this go? That guy was too arrogant. He doesn’t respect you and even said ‘so what’ if you’re a seven-star King of War? He spoke as if he’s a God of War!”

“it’s fine. This guy is just a normal soldier. I’m a King of War, it would’ve been petty of me if I insisted on being calculative! And apart from that, you said yourself that you’re the young master of the Xenos family. Can’t you handle him?” Magnus laughed, his words filled with hints. It would be inconvenient to do so now, but they could always teach that guy a lesson later on.

Quil nodded, “That’s nothing. However, Dennis Howard hit me just now and I can’t let that go. He was also disrespectful to you!”

Unexpectedly, Magnus was silent for some time before saying, “It’s best if you don’t provoke Dennis Howard. Although he’s only a marshal, he’s really strong and has sacrificed a lot for the country. He almost became a King of War! It was only because of the limited space that he didn’t!”

Quil nodded after he heard this. “You’ve spoken about Dennis Howard before and I know about it. However, I hope that you will still avenge me. After all, he hit me in front of you, I refuse to accept this.”

“That will have to wait!” Magnus’s face darkened. “Another King of War is coming today and he’s a well known six-star King of War. Dennis was his subordinate when they were in the army. Do you think he’d let it go if I did anything to Dennis today?”

“Six-star King of War? Who?” Quil took a deep breath after hearing this. Eastfield was full of talents and there were quite a few King of Wars that had returned this time.

“Quin Hayes, he’s a very powerful guy and is extremely skilled in combat. Hence, I’m doing this because of Quin, not Dennis.” Magnus smiled bitterly before walking inside with Quil and the others.

The villa was already filled with people. Gathered in groups of twos and threes, everyone was chit- chatting with one another. Many of them were excited.

“How did Magnus Sutherland meet such a rich second generation? Today is a gathering between us soldiers. Isn’t it inappropriate for him to bring such a person here?”

Dennis was still slightly unhappy when they went to sit in a pavilion under a willow tree.

“Marshal Howard, although Quil Xenos’s behavior was out of line, weren’t you disrespecting Magnus Sutherland’s honor, too? That was the son of his god-brother. If you slapped that guy, that’s the same as slapping Magnus’s face. Aren’t you afraid of him taking revenge on you?” Major Leonard was best friends with Dennis. He couldn’t help but remind him out of good intentions.

“I don’t think so? Magnus Sutherland is a King of War, a seven-star one! How could he be so intolerant! That Xenos guy was obviously the one who made a mistake!” Major Pendragon replied. “And on top of that, King of War Magnus Sutherland was highly respected when he was in the army. How could he do that to Marshal Dennis over such a small matter? Don’t all men resolve hatred with smiles?”

“that might not be the case. After all, some people like pretending to be someone they aren’t!” jackie laughed and said. “However, that’s nothing. After all, it’d be inconvenient for him to mess up the banquet he organized himself today, right?”

“That’s right!”

Chapter 437 Dennis thought about it and went to greet the King of War, “Hi, King of War Sutherland, it’s been a long time!”

“Yes, King of War Sutherland, you’re still looking so heroic!”

A number of commanders and marshals immediately came forward to greet Magnus with a smile when they saw him walk in.

“no need to be so polite. We’re not on the battlefield anymore and there aren’t that many differences in our ranks now. We are all friends and people who have won glory for this country. Let’s all enjoy the gathering! Just drink and eat to your hearts’ content!” Magnus said with a smile, seemingly easy-going.

“King of War Sutherland is so easy-going!”

“Yes, I heard that he cared for the soldiers when they were on the battlefield. Once, he carried a wounded soldier and ran over a hundred kilometers within a night just to send him to the hospital. He saved that soldier’s life!”

Many soldiers looked at Magnus in awe when they heard about what King of War Sutherland did years ago. Such a King of War was definitely worth everybody’s respect. The smile on Magnus’s face would not disappear after hearing all these words about him.

“King of War Sutherland, come, let me light this for you!” Master Miller of the Carefree Villa respectfully handed him a cigar. He then brought the lighter over and proceeded to light the cigar for Magnus.

“Hey, Master Miller, don’t be so polite. I can do that myself!” Magnus still seemed easy-going. He took the lighter from the other party and lit up his cigar.

He took a puff and his eyes lit up. “Hmmm, this is not bad. How much for a cigar?”

“Oh, it’s not expensive! This is a Cuban cigar, and it is only around one thousand dollars!” Master Miller immediately said with a smile. “If King of War Sutherland likes it, I can send a few boxes to your house later!”

“What?!” Magnus exclaimed. “You consider this not expensive? It’s really expensive, okay? A few of these could equal someone’s monthly salary! This is too extravagant and wasteful!”

“Yes, of course, you’re right!” Master Miller immediately nodded.

At this moment, a lot of people had entered and the number of people was increasing by the minute. They knew it was a soldier gathering and that it was organized by a seven-star King of War. Hence, many veterans from Eastfield were there, too. As noon approached, there were already about 400 people present at the gathering.

“Look, King of War Hayes is here, too!” somebody yelled in surprise. A huge man followed by a few people entered from the front entrance.

“King of War Quil Hayes is here. He’s a six-star King of War. Although his position is lower, his combat ability among the Kings of War is very scary!” somebody said.

Chapter 438 “This is great! Boss is here!” Pendragon stood up with excitement when he heard this. “We haven’t seen our boss in a long time and I miss him!”

He and Dennis were once Quin’s subordinates.

“Yes!” Dennis nodded. He stood up, eyes meeting with Pendragon’s’, and walked over together.

“Boss!” They both greeted once they were in front of Quin.

“both of you young lads are here as well! It looks like I’ve made the right decision to be here today!” Quin looked at his subordinates and immediately laughed loudly. He patted their shoulders. “That’s good. You guys still look strong and healthy! It seems like you both still exercise at home even after leaving the battlefield?”

“That’s a must!” Pendragon laughed.

“Oh yes, boss. I’d like to introduce someone to you. He’s my savior! I’ve told you about him before, when I entered the ring and was almost killed by O’Neal. I was badly hurt but thanks to the pill jackie gave me, my body recovered quickly!” Dennis smiled and immediately waved at jackie, asking him to come over.

“Oh, you’re jackie? I had no idea you’re skilled in medicine! That’s good!” Quin looked at jackie and laughed. “Thank you so much. If it wasn’t for your help, this subordinate of mine would’ve been dead!”

“You’re welcome. We’re soldiers of Daxia after all. I can’t just leave him there to die!” jackie smiled.

“Quin, you’re such a rare guest!” Magnus and the master of the Carefree Villa walked over together.

“brother Magnus! You’re being polite. I heard that you were organizing a gathering to celebrate our relationship as soldiers so I’m here. This is a very nice event. Especially since we didn’t have the time to meet after returning from the battlefield, let alone have a drink together!” Quin laughed out loudly. “We have to drink a few extra bottles today!”

“Nice to meet you, King of War Hayes. I’m Xan Miller, the master of the Carefree Villa. This is my name card. If you wish to treat someone else with a meal in the future, you may visit our villa. Our villa has a beautiful environment and many good services. All the veterans that come here for a meal get a seventy percent discount!” Xan Miller took this opportunity to pass him his business card.

“Seventy percent discount? This is good!” Quin laughed and said to those around him, “Did you hear that, a seventy percent discount! The next time you come here for a meal or treat someone with a meal, there’s a seventy percent discount for you. This is a gesture of affirmation and care for us soldiers!’

Xan had no idea that Quin was such a straightforward person. Not only did he take the name card, he even helped Xan publicize his business.

“Thank you all! Don’t you worry. As long as you bring the commemorative badge with you, we’ll give you a seventy percent discount!” Xan thought about it and announced loudly to everybody.

“Master Miller is so nice!”

“Yes, Master Miller is really nice. I heard that there are sixty tables here today but Master Miller didn’t take a penny. He said that because this was everybody’s first time here and that they were all people who had sacrificed for the country, it was all for free!” A few soldiers started discussing quietly among themselves after hearing this.

Xan was very happy when he heard that. It appeared that his decision of trying to get on everybody’s good books and not taking money this time was really smart.

“Oh yes, why don’t we take a photo?”

Chapter 439 He thought and suggested. He felt happy about his suggestion.

“great!” Quin started laughing at the great idea.

Soon, everybody stood up to take a few photos together! Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Don’t worry. I’ll send the photos to your houses after they’ve been developed!” Xan smiled, extremely happy on the inside. Wouldn’t it be an even better marketing tactic to keep some photos for himself and have them displayed at the shop’s front door to show that even Kings of War came to his villa?

After all, not just one King of War came but two!

“Everybody, it’s almost time for the gathering to start. Let’s head into the courtyard and take a seat as food will be served soon. On top of that, I’ve specially invited a few female stars for today’s gathering. They are all famous first-class stars and they will be performing throughout the meal!” Xan said to the crowd after looking at the time.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

“This owner is too polite. It must’ve cost a fortune to invite a few A-listers.”

“Hey, he’s rich so it’s natural if he doesn’t care about his money!” some soldiers discussed among themselves while they walked inside.

“Look at this, you’ve made it too grand,” Magnus spoke humbly but he was secretly very happy about this. After all, he was the one who organized this activity. This only served to make him look good.

“It’s late, I don’t think anybody else is coming!” Quin said while he walked inside.

Dennis looked at the entrance and said, “I’ve informed the Goddess of War and she knows about the gathering today. But it seems like she wouldn’t be here, she probably doesn’t fancy activities like these!”

“This activity has a different meaning. It’s a gathering to enjoy our relationship as soldiers. I hope she’ll come!” Quin smiled bitterly. Everybody soon entered a big courtyard.

In the courtyard, almost a hundred tables were set up. Some people had already taken their seats. There was a stage set up in the middle, obviously for the artists’ performance that was to take place during the meal.

“Go tell the artists that they can start singing once they’re ready!” Master Miller quickly spoke to the subordinate beside him who immediately ran inside.

Moments later, a female artist walked out with a smile. She started singing after a short self-introduction.

“Isn’t this the famous female artist, Blake Knight?”

“Yes, her figure and temperament are really good!” Some of the soldiers were surprised when they saw the female artist.

“Blake Knight?” Magnus’s eyes lit up when he saw her. “I had no idea that Master Miller was able to invite such a well-known artist over! Blake Knight is my idol. She has a nice temperament and great

body, which is really rare!”

“though these stars are famous, it’s actually relatively easy to invite them over to sing. After all, money rules the world. As long as you pay them enough, anything can be done,” Xan said with a smile on his face.

It seemed that Magnus was very satisfied with the star he invited this time.

“Really? They can do anything as long as there’s payment?” Magnus’s eyes lit up as he checked his surroundings before asking in a lowered voice.

Chapter 440 Xan was stunned when he heard this. He knew that the King of War Sutherland not only liked antique items and expensive things, he also particularly liked pretty women. However, he did not like just any ordinary pretty lady. He liked those with good temperaments and with a hint of arrogance. Obviously, Magnus did all of this secretly. He was still the respected King of War in public! Xan clearly saw Magnus’s interest in Blake.

This seemed like a good opportunity for him to get into his good books. Master Miller gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Checking to make sure there were not many people around, he implicated, “I believe that can be arranged. After all, who can resist the temptation of money? Not to mention, many female artists admire King of War Sutherland’s heroic appearance!”

“What do you mean by that?” Magnus smiled slightly and asked.

“nothing special. I have a few rooms in that area of my villa. One of the rooms is where I stay when I’m free!

“Let me see if with some money, I’m able to invite Blake to have a chat with you. On the other hand, I believe that she idolizes you as well. Perhaps she might be willing to meet you without taking a penny!” Xan laughed and said.

“Oh, but how would I know when it’s time for a chat?” Magnus thought and asked.

“once the performance is over and by the time everybody is drunk on alcohol, you would’ve had quite a few drinks, too. I’ll ask her to come over and help you to your room!” Xan said with a smile.

“Hmmm… It’s almost time. I don’t think anyone else will be coming over and I’m getting hungry. Let’s start the feast!”

Magnus sat at the main table with Quin sitting beside him.

jackie did not want to see people like Magnus and Quil so he sat at another table. If Quin was not here, he would have left because Magnus made him feel unhappy.

Dennis had wanted to drink with jackie from the start so he sat beside jackie.

“Hey, this brother. I saw you getting into a fight with King of War Sutherland at the door earlier just now. Is that right?” a commander who was beside jackie looked at him and asked softly.

“Yes!” jackie nodded and admitted.

The assistant commander immediately shook his head. “How inexperienced. Even though this is a gathering to celebrate and talk about the relationship between soldiers, there are people here we cannot offend. Don’t you know who those people are? You’re in trouble!”

Another soldier who wore a bronze badge like jackie’s chimed in, “Yes, brother. Normal soldiers like us are very different from Kings of War. We’re the mud on the ground and they’re the clouds in the sky. It’s a

humongous difference! We don’t like flattery, but we shouldn’t offend people, right? Temporary forbearance and things calm down, take a step back from things for a brighter future!”

“I think temporary forbearance makes you angrier and angrier, and thinking about it after taking a step back just makes you feel like you’ve lost!” jackie laughed as he opened a bottle of wine and filled everybody’s glasses.

Dennis was startled when he saw jackie’s actions. jackie was a Supreme Warrior, the highest in existence in all of Daxia. How could they just let him serve them wine?

“No-no way! How can you serve wine?” Dennis immediately stood up and took the wine bottle from jackie’s hand.

Chapter 441 jackie’s face darkened. “I’m just a normal soldier and this is a gathering between soldiers. There’s no difference between us. So what if I pour the wine?”

Dennis was speechless when jackie said this. He could only loosen his grip on the wine bottle and watch as jackie proceeded to pour wine into the glasses of those around him. Everybody was very polite, standing up and slightly bowing as jackie poured them wine.

“Come, I’d like to propose a toast to everybody. We’re all brothers that have sacrificed our lives for Daxia, so now we should enjoy ourselves and drink to our hearts’ content!” jackie smiled indifferently and raised the glass of wine in his hands.

“That’s right. We’re no different so let’s drink to our hearts’ content!” one of the head commanders said.

Everybody at the table proceeded to gulp down their glasses of wine. At the gathering, everybody was enjoying the lively atmosphere. Together with the fact that there were pretty female artists singing on

stage, everybody was very happy. Of course, many people ran over to Quin and Magnus’s table for countless toasts. People like them were naturally good at drinking, so they accepted every toast.

After a while, another pretty female artist went on the stage again. She had a sexy figure and she donned a black dress that showed most of her thighs.

“Oh my god, it’s Tianna Scott. She’s amazing! He actually got Tianna to come!”

“Yes, that’s my goddess!”

Many soldiers were excited when they saw Tianna on stage.

Some were already singing along with Tianna.

“Tianna Scott?” Magnus gulped when he saw who it was. He then placed a hand on Master Miller’s shoulder and said softly, “Tianna Scott is a sexy goddess. It would be amazing if I could have a chat with her!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it!” Xan immediately nodded. While others may not have understood what Magnus’s words meant, he understood it clearly. Magnus Sutherland wanted to get both!

He never would have thought that Magnus would still be so greedy when he was already more than 40 years old.

After a while, most of the soldiers had finished their food and the performances on the stage had finally ended. Some of them were tipsy from all the drinking and were about to leave. Xan sensed that the timing was almost right. He briefly spoke to Magnus and left, walking towards the room at the back. After a while, both Blake and Tianna were escorted to the master of the Carefree Villa by the servants.

“Master Miller, anything we can help you with?” Tianna smiled and asked.

Master Miller looked at the two pretty ladies before saying, “I will not beat around the bush. Today’s event was quite special as there were quite a few VIPs. Both of you would’ve seen that there were many marshals and even two Kings of War. On top of that, these two Kings of War were the most powerful ones of them all!”

“Yes, we worship them. If they hadn’t defeated our enemies on the battlefield, how would it be possible for us to have peaceful days now?” Blake immediately replied. It was clear she worshipped them from her heart.

“Really? That’s great!” Master Miller was happy when he heard this. He continued, “It so happens that the person in charge, the seven-star King of War Magnus Sutherland, wants to meet with both of you.”

Chapter 442 “The seven-star King of War Magnus Sutherland wants to meet us?” Both the pretty women were flattered when they heard it.

Though they were famous celebrities, they were nothing to the wealthy. To the powerful Kings of War, they were less than that.

“Yes, especially Miss Blake. King of War Sutherland is a fan of yours! He mentioned earlier that he likes your singing!”

Master Miller thought about it and finally hinted, “I hope the both of you won’t refuse this meeting!”

When Blake sensed the slight seriousness in Master Miller’s voice, she knew this meeting was not going to be that simple.

She thought about it and said, “Master Miller, how dare we refuse when the King of War himself has requested to meet us? However, I’m curious as to why he wants to meet us. Is there anything else?”

Master Miller smiled before saying, “Miss Knight, you’re really smart. Of course, it won’t be a simple meet-up. I hope the both of you can keep King of War Sutherland good company tonight. Don’t you worry, I won’t treat you both badly. Making the King of War happy will be beneficial for the both of us!”

Master Miller paused for a moment before continuing. “Each of you will receive five million for singing today. If you serve King of War Sutherland well for an hour, I’ll give you fifty million each. How does that sound? It’s easy money, right?”

Initially, Tianna was quite happy. After all, it would be good for their careers if a powerful person wanted to meet them. She had no idea that Master Miller had other intentions until after the discussion.

Her face darkened and she said, “Master Miller, what are you trying to say? Are you treating us like prostitutes? We’re celebrities—we sing and we sacrifice ourselves for art. Why don’t you find someone else instead of asking us to do this?”

Blake stood up and said with a cold expression, “Master Miller, I originally looked up to you as you were connected with so many powerful people. I never would’ve thought that you’d ask us to accompany a man just to please a King of War!”

“That’s right. If you want us to accompany him for some drinks and some chit-chat, we’d be happy to!”

“But if you want us to have sex with him, you’ve got the wrong people! I’m not that kind of woman!” Tianna’s chest heaved in anger as she refused Xan’s offer.

Xan expected these girls to accept his offer. He did not think that they would refuse without giving it much thought.

“Can you both stop getting worked up and discuss this? I know, both of you feel that fifty million isn’t enough. How about seventy million, then? This is an extremely generous offer. I know other famous

celebrities who would agree to just ten or twenty million!” Xan smiled indifferently. He believed that these two were just trying to raise their prices.

“Master Miller, do you think this is about money? This is about our principles. We sell our art, not our bodies!” Blake turned around and walked out with a cold face. “Goodbye, Master Miller!”

“Goodbye!” Tianna saluted him before following after Blake.

Clap clap—! Xan’s face darkened. He immediately clapped his hands.

Chapter 443 Some men rushed in, immediately closing the door behind them.

“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have resorted to this. However, you don’t have a choice today!”

“I’ll definitely be paying you, and seventy million is considered a sky-high price! You both can stop acting so innocent. Each celebrity has a price. What nonsense is this, selling art but not your body?!” Xan smiled coldly. “I don’t believe either of you could’ve achieved your current status without having slept with anyone. I’m already honoring you by paying you such a huge amount of money!”

“Master Miller, you want us to do something like this under broad daylight? If word gets out, don’t you think it would ruin your reputation?” Blake was so frightened that her face turned pale. Nevertheless, she still gritted her teeth and threatened Xan.

“that’s ridiculous. I’m a man, why should I be afraid? How about the reputation of you two celebrities? Aren’t your reputations much more important than mine?” Master Miller laughed, looking at them viciously. “I don’t want to waste time discussing nonsense with the both of you. You have two choices now, one is to listen to me obediently, which I’ll then pay you seventy million each. This way, both of you and myself will enjoy the benefits. It will be very beneficial for your careers, especially if the King of War is happy!”

Master Miller paused for a moment before continuing. “As for the second choice, it’s very simple and it only contains one word; death! I can allow you to leave alive today, but there’s no guarantee if any accidents should befall you both tomorrow or the day after! I believe that both of you are aware of my abilities.”

Xan was already on a path that was difficult to back away from. He had no choice but to take the risks. After all, he had already promised Magnus that these two women would agree to meet him and that he would make the arrangements. Initially, he was confident because he believed in the power of money. He knew that not many women in the entertainment industry were good and pure, and he believed that money could buy their hearts. How was he to know that these two women would ignore his money? Hence, for the sake of his honor and his future, he risked everything he had.

“You…” Both women were furious. What was the difference between this and kidnapping them?

“I’ll give you three minutes to think about this. Stop pretending to be innocent! Think about it. After all, it’s seventy million and all you need to do is lay down in bed. After that, the money’s yours and you won’t have to worry about your careers!” Master Miller sat down and said. “I’ve given you both a choice, so you can’t say I’m forcing you into anything, right?”

“This isn’t forcing us?” Tianna and Blake did not think that performing today would mean walking into a trap.

Three minutes passed and they had no other choice. Being faced with the choice of 70 million or death, they could only agree to it through gritted teeth.

“congratulations girls! You’ve made a wise choice. Don’t be f*cking coy and be more energetic later, alright? And you also need to make the King of War feel like you’re doing this willingly, do you understand?” Master Miller urged as he laughed.

Chapter 444 After a few minutes of brain-washing, Master Miller stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll ask my workers to bring you both to a room near the back. You’ll wait for King of War Sutherland there. Both of you have to be nice to him, understand? This is a powerful and respected King of War! Don’t think about running because it’s impossible for you to escape. Even if you do, I have ways to find you and kill you, understand?” Xan thought and threatened the girls. He then opened the door and exited the room.

Xan and both the pretty artists walked out and headed towards the other side of the villa. It just so happened that jackie, who was still drinking, witnessed this scene.

He casually glanced over and frowned. “That’s weird, what were they discussing in that room? And why do those artists have such a bad expression on their faces?”

As jackie continued to think about it, the two pretty artists were escorted away by some servants, passing through an arched door that led into the courtyard inside. jackie thought about it and concluded that he was overthinking it before he resumed drinking.

He had just taken two swigs of his alcohol when he saw Master Miller coming out from the courtyard, returning to his seat with a big smile on his face. Master Miller pretended to drink with the others before whispering into Magnus’s ear, speaking to him in secret. Magnus smiled in satisfaction and continued to drink a few glasses of wine with everybody else.

After a few glasses of wine, Magnus was obviously drunk. He stood up and said, “I’m so sorry guys, but I’m really dizzy. I’ve drank too much today and I need to rest. All of you continue drinking, I really can’t continue accompanying you guys much longer!”

“King of War Sutherland, your drinking ability has regressed!” Quin started laughing loudly. “I remember you used to have impressive drinking skills!”

“what to do. I’m old now, I can’t deny that!” Magnus laughed and rubbed his head. “Sigh, but I really can’t go on. I’m really dizzy and my head hurts!”

“The two of you, assist King of War Sutherland and bring him to the room to rest!”

Master Miller immediately ordered two of his servants who proceeded to escort Magnus inside.

jackie was paying close attention to the situation. He immediately understood what was going on when he saw the servants guiding Magnus towards the arched door.

‘exchanging sentiments about the relationship among soldiers’? He’s actually meeting women here?’ jackie was not stupid and he soon understood what was happening.

He had no clue Magnus was such a person. He was already in a hurry to get a girl while there were still so many people drinking outside. Although jackie was unhappy about it, he also felt that this could only have happened through mutual consent. It was out of his control, so he ignored it.

He smiled as he drank two more glasses of wine with Dennis.

However, the unwilling expressions of Blake and Tianna appeared in his mind as he drank.

“Something’s not right….” jackie slapped the table and stood up. He suspected that those two girls had been threatened.

If they were doing it willingly, they would not have looked so unhappy.

“What’s wrong?” Dennis and the others looked at jackie, wondering what caused his sudden outburst.

“It’s fine, everybody continue drinking. I’ve got a stomach ache and I need to go to the toilet!” jackie smiled embarrassingly and hugged his stomach.

Chapter 445 “Oh, let’s continue drinking, then. Come on!” The rest of them resumed drinking.

Dennis drank a few mouthfuls, watching jackie as he left quickly in search for the toilet.

He thought for a moment and sensed that jackie’s earlier outburst was not normal. He stood up and chased after jackie, telling the rest that he needed the toilet as well.

“Hello, King of War Suther-Sutherland!” Both the artists were fearful and had no idea what to do.

Magnus opened the door and entered.

“Hi pretty ladies, I’m sorry for making you wait!” Magnus smiled mischievously. The seriousness on his face was gone, and instead, a snobbish look grew on his face.

He smiled and closed the door.

“King of War Suther-Sutherland, we heard you wanted to have a chat with us?” Blake gulped before saying cautiously. She took a few steps back, afraid.

“Chat? Are you kidding me? Didn’t Master Miller tell you clearly? Since both of you are here, accompany me well tonight!” Magnus smiled coldly and continued speaking. “I’m a seven-star King of War. It’s a privilege to be spotted by me, do you understand?”

“Blake, never… nevermind!” Tianna comforted Blake who was extremely afraid. If they wanted to leave now, this King of War might get angry and Master Miller would never let them go.

Although she felt disgusted seeing this King of War Sutherland, it was better than being dead.

“it seems like the both of you are still unwilling,” Magnus laughed and walked over. Holding each of their waists in each arm, he said, “But since you’re already here, you should already be mentally prepared. Or

are you guys willing to offend me, a King of War?” After he finished speaking, he carried both the women and using all his strength, threw Blake and Tianna onto the bed that was beside him.

“Ah!” Both the pretty ladies yelled, turning pale with fright.

Fear grew within them, and they desperately wanted to escape.

“No! King of War Sutherland, you can’t do this!” Blake was so frightened that she wanted to run away.

Her strength was minuscule, like an ant, compared to Magnus Sutherland, a seven-star King of War.

Magnus restrained them with each hand, resting his weight on them until they were unable to move. “Do you think you’re naive celebrities? Don’t you sing and dance to entertain everybody? I have money, so don’t fail to appreciate my kindness.”

Tianna’s eyes turned red as she started to beg for forgiveness. “King of War, I’m sorry. Please let us go, we… we know what we need to do!”

“I… I know, too!” Blake bit her sexy red lip, finally giving in.

Chapter 446 Magnus was very happy when Blake started to compromise. Being two famous women, goddesses who had nice figures, many people often tried to hit on them. He did not think he would have the opportunity to bed both these women today.

He let them go once they had compromised and said, “It’s good that you understand. Now take off your clothes!”

Tianna was uncomfortable but she had no other choice. She could only start unbuttoning her clothes.

Magnus, who drank quite a bit of wine, grew even more excited looking at their delicate faces. He said impatiently, “You’re too slow! Let me help you!”

He then looked at Blake, who was by his side, and said, “You too, take your clothes off by yourself!”

“Help!” Blake gritted her teeth and screamed. She could not stop the thoughts from her heart and ran outside.

“Are you trying to die? How dare you disobey me?” Magnus did not expect this woman to be so stubborn. He immediately rushed to her and grabbed her long hair, pulling her back to him before slapping her.

Slap!

Magnus was so furious that he used most of his strength to slap her. The slap was so loud that Blake almost fainted. The slap immediately left a huge palm print on Blake’s face and blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth.

Magnus stretched out his hand and grabbed Blake’s neck, lifting her with ease. “Miss Knight, did you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you? How dare you offend a King of War? Do you understand that that was a suicidal move?”

“Let-let go of me!” Blake’s face grew red as she felt a sense of imminent death. She kept struggling, trying to get a hold onto Magnus’s fingers to pry them open.

However, he was too strong and it was impossible to break free from his grip.

“King of War, King of War, she knows she was wrong. Please let her go! She knows she was wrong! We’ll definitely serve you well!” Tianna was so frightened she immediately knelt on the floor and begged Magnus for forgiveness.

After all, Blake was in the same position as her. It was only normal to sympathize with one another.

“Please, let go of me! I know I was wrong!” Blake’s face turned pale from the lack of air.

Only then did Magnus loosen his grip on her, placing her back on the ground.

“Cough cough!” Blake coughed profusely, huffing and puffing as her heart filled with despair.

“Don’t play tricks with me, take off your clothes!” Magnus yelled impatiently.

Both the pretty women looked at each other. They started unbuttoning their clothes, too afraid to disobey Magnus. Magnus’s pupils dilated in excitement.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open. jackie entered the room, a cold look on his face.

“Ah!” The two women immediately covered their chests, their faces turning pale.

Chapter 447 “Bastard, what are you doing here?!” Magnus got angry when he saw jackie. He looked at jackie and said, “This is the backyard. I’m drunk and I’m here to rest. What are you doing barging in here?

“Get out and close the door! Then I won’t hold you accountable for doing this!” Magnus threatened jackie with a cold expression on her face.

jackie closed the door but he was still standing in the room.

“You… I’m telling you to get out!” Magnus was fuming. Was there something wrong with this young man’s brain? Could he not comprehend simple words?

“King of War Sutherland seems to be in a good mood. You need two pretty ladies, who seem to be famous celebrities, to accompany you while you rest. I’ve got to say, I really admire you! However, you don’t seem drunk at all!” jackie laughed and said.

“Young man, you really are suicidal! Since you’re brave enough to disturb me, I’ll kill you right here, right now! After all, there are only a few hundred people here today and some of them have already started to leave. Once I kill you, all I need to do is ask the owner of this place to get rid of your body! The others

would just assume you left after getting drunk. And besides, the death of a normal soldier like you wouldn’t raise any suspicion from anyone!” Magnus thought about it and smiled as he touched his fists.

“King of War Sutherland, you’re so good at scheming!” jackie laughed and said, “I had no clue that the previous King of War Sutherland, who loved his soldiers like his own sons, would be playing with girls this early in the morning. You even found two famous celebrities for this! And you’re willing to go as far as to kill me for discovering what you did!”

“Humph! I’m a person who loves soldiers like my sons, but those are obedient soldiers under my lead. Soldiers that go against me and are disobedient like you should die!” King of War Sutherland wanted to kill jackie at this moment. He swiftly blocked the door, blocking jackie’s escape.

As jackie assumed he would die soon, he dropped his false identity and revealed his original temperament.

“How disappointing! A person who has sacrificed so much for Daxia is actually…going to die here today…I don’t think so!” jackie heaved a heavy sigh of disappointment. This King of War who had just been discharged from military service had turned into this.

It could be because of the lack of seductions on the battlefield, or maybe he was just good at hiding his true temperament. However, these details were not important. The more important thing was that this person agitated jackie. He was more than ready to kill Magnus.

“Young man, why are you still so nosy when you know you’re not my opponent and that you’ll definitely die today?” Magnus thought jackie was talking about him. He said with a smile, “These two pretty celebrities threw themselves into my arms after learning about my great achievements. Since when did you start caring about these kinds of things, especially when there is mutual consent?”

“really? What about this palm print on Miss Blake’s face?” jackie laughed. He did not expect that Magnus would still lie under these circumstances.

“what can I do if she likes it rough?” Magnus laughed and asked Blake, “Am I right? Miss Knight, don’t you like playing like this?”

Blake’s face darkened. She was hoping to be rescued when the door was kicked open. However, she realized that the young man in front of her was only a normal soldier. How could a normal soldier fight against a powerful King of War? On top of that, Magnus was obviously going to kill this soldier who heard her call for help. How could she deny him?

She gritted her teeth and smiled embarrassingly. “That’s right, young brother. You shouldn’t be a busy- body. We’re doing this willingly. I… I love this kind of play!”

“Your expression is too fake. How can you say you like it when you’re about to cry?!” jackie was speechless. Did they really think he was an idiot?

Chapter 448 “I’m not lying to you, little brother. Thank you for your good intentions but you shouldn’t have come!” Blake could not hold it back any longer. Tears trickled down her face from the corners of her eyes. She had never felt this helpless before.

She had never once felt that dying would be better than being alive, like how she was feeling now.

“Sigh, yet you’re here. I’ve never seen anyone who would yell for help if they came willingly! I was hesitant before I came in and I had no idea what was happening, but the word ‘help’ told me that both of you were being forced into this!” jackie said with open hands, “Tell me honestly, did this guy force you into this? If that’s the case, I’ll kill him for you!”

“Young man, are you joking? You’re just a normal soldier, how dare you think about killing a King of War? I’ve seen many dumb people but I’ve never seen someone as dumb as you!” King of War Sutherland laughed. He thought to himself that this young man in front of him was a fearless dumbass. The difference between a soldier and a King of War was huge, they were not at the same level.

“I…” Blake looked at jackie but still chose to stay silent.

“you were daring enough to ask for help but not enough to expose his crimes? Miss Knight, please believe in me. Though this stupid King of War sacrificed a lot for Daxia, I won’t forgive him for what he did today!” jackie laughed and said.

“Young man, it’s true that we were forced into this, but what can you do? He’s a King of War!” Tianna shook her head with a bitter smile on her face. “Thank you for your kindness. He’s a King of War, a seven-star King of War. Apart from the Goddess of War, nobody in this city can be a worthy opponent!”

“look at this, young man. Even they know who the strongest person is!” Magnus was impatient and balled his hands into fists. “I’ll kill you now and show you that the prestige of a King of War will not be humiliated!”

As swift as lighting, he appeared in front of jackie, aiming a punch at his face.

The power of his punch was so strong that the wind howled in its trail. This punch could easily kill an elephant.

jackie ducked away from Magnus’s attacks. Magnus was shocked when his punch missed the target. He turned around and discovered that jackie was by the door, a few meters away from him.

“Young man, who are you? You’re definitely not a normal soldier. Though I may be careless, your speed is the speed of a King of War!” Magnus’s face darkened. He saw that the young man in front of him had true abilities and that he did not let his emotions affect him.

“King of War?” Blake and Tianna looked at each other. They saw hope. If the young man in front of them really was a King of War, they had higher chances of being rescued.

Although, the speed of their fight was too fast, and they could not clearly see what had happened.

“Why? You’re afraid?” jackie laughed and said. “I know everything about you. You’re Ethan Hays’s subordinate and you’re good at close attacks. Apart from that, you are also skilled in an extremely powerful set of Chinese boxing. When you use this set of martial arts, it doubles the strength of your original power. This has helped you with countless achievements…”

When he heard this, Magnus’s face grew darker.

He gritted his teeth. “Young man, who are you? Why do you know everything so well?! And on top of that, how dare you call our God of War by his name. Don’t you know that being disrespectful to the God of War means looking for death!”

“Looking for death?”

Chapter 449 jackie stepped forward, seizing the opportunity to attack. He moved swiftly, appearing in front of Magnus and attacking him with a fast punch.

“What?!” Magnus was startled. jackie was too quick. He was not ready to use his boxing set and could only hold his fists up to meet jackie’s attack.

The sound of the impact was very loud, and the force of the punch sent Magnus flying out.

“Ah!” Magnus held his left hand in his right. He could feel that his right hand was fractured by the punch.

“Who… who are you? I’m the King of War. If you kill me, God of War Hays won’t let this go!” Magnus was so afraid that he could only grit his teeth and threaten jackie with Ethan Hays.

“him?” jackie smiled coldly after hearing this. “I wonder how disappointed he’d be if he knew the most powerful soldier under his leadership had become such a useless bastard!

“Today, I’m here to tidy up his team!” jackie stopped explaining and rushed toward him. He raised his leg up high before bringing it down forcefully.

Magnus used his hands to block the attack but jackie’s strength was not something he could easily block. He was forced into the ground as jackie’s leg landed on his head. The corners of his mouth trickled with blood, and as he looked straight at jackie, he finally remembered something. He had seen someone use this exact move on the battlefield once. This person was none other than the mysterious and extremely powerful Supreme Warrior!

Not many people on the battlefield knew of jackie’s true appearance. On top of that, everyone addressed him as Master Supreme Warrior. Hence, his original name was forgotten since being addressed as the Supreme Warrior was the highest glory a person could have. He never thought that this guy with the name of jackie, a normal soldier that he looked down upon, was the mysterious Master Supreme Warrior!

This was the epiphany Magnus had right before his death. By then, it was too late. He fell backward, lying dead on the floor.

“He’s dead!” Blake and Tianna took deep breaths. A seven-star King of War was so easily killed by the young man in front of them?

If the man in front of them was a King of War, he couldn’t have killed another King of War so easily. And even if he was a God of War, the fight would not have been settled so easily, right?

“Since I saved you both, you have to keep everything that happened today a secret, okay? If you thought you couldn’t afford to offend this King of War, then I’m a person that you cannot afford to offend, too!” jackie looked at the body on the floor indifferently. He casually took out a cigarette and lit it.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Thank you, our savior, we won’t say anything to others!” Both of them were very frightened. The man in front of them was definitely not a normal soldier. How could a normal soldier defeat a King of War so easily?

They wondered if this man was another God of War. They thought about it but knew there was no God of War named jackie.

Regardless of that, they were finally rescued.

At this moment, the door opened again.

Chapter 450 The door burst open at this moment, frightening Blake and Tianna. jackie looked over at the other party but continued smoking as if he saw nothing.

Closing the door behind him, Dennis looked at the floor, surprised. He looked at both the women and said, “I had no idea Magnus Sutherland would do such a thing!”

“Yes, a person like this doesn’t deserve to be alive!” jackie nodded and continued. “I’ll make a call to Ethan and explain everything.”

“That’s not the issue!” Dennis smiled bitterly and continued. “Wouldn’t it be hard to hide your identity, then? What should we do with them?”

“We won’t say anything!”

“That’s right, that’s right… You’re the benefactor who saved us, why would we spread this news?” Blake and Tianna were frightened, thinking Dennis would kill them just to keep the secret.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. After all, I rescued you! If not, wouldn’t this have been for nothing?” jackie smiled bitterly. “It’s a good thing the fight ended quickly and without much movement. Those drinking in the front courtyard couldn’t have heard anything from over there.”

Dennis was ashamed. He was lucky he followed his instincts and decided to tail jackie.

He did not expect to hear people fighting when he reached the door, and when he came in, the King of War Sutherland was already dead. Only the Supreme Warrior had such powerful strength. He instantly killed the other party before he even managed to do anything.

“But the body’s here, how do we explain this?” Dennis was speechless. “This can’t be my kill again, right? The last time I did that, some Kings of War started asking me which move I used to kill O’Neal. It was so good, it caused someone’s body to explode!”

“others need to believe it if I want you to take the kill!” jackie smiled bitterly.

He then took out his phone and called Lana. “Lana, come to the Carefree Villa. Make sure nobody’s following you and head to the inside courtyard. Come alone!”

jackie ended the call. “Now, we wait here.”

“Hey, you’re a smart one. The only person in the entire Eastfield who can take this kill is the Goddess of War herself!” Dennis laughed, secretly admiring jackie’s cleverness. He had assumed that jackie’s identity was about to be revealed because of this. He did not think jackie would come up with a solution in such a short period of time.

Blake and Tianna looked at each other, extremely stunned. This man was too good, seeing how he could get the Goddess of War, Lana Zechs, to come and substitute for him.

jackie looked at them again. Their shirts were still unbuttoned, revealing their sexy collarbone and seductive skin.

He smiled bitterly and said to them, “Hey, why don’t you ladies button up your clothes first. Before the Goddess of War arrives, can you tell me what happened today? Did the master of the Carefree Villa threaten you? You’ll need to tell the Goddess of War all the details of this incident when she arrives, okay?”

Both artists lowered their heads to look at their clothes. They blushed, having forgotten about the state of their appearances due to the shock from the incident. After straightening up their clothes, they told jackie and Dennis what Master Miller had done to them.

“Xan actually did something like this for the sake of his business! It’s disgusting!” Dennis was extremely angry. “I’d really like to bring him over and kill him right now!”

“Don’t!” jackie immediately stopped him. “We do need to kill him, but it has to be done by Lana.”

Dennis was enlightened after hearing this. “You’re so smart, why am I so stupid?”
