The saleswoman before him exchanged a glance with the plump saleswoman who had sneered upon Jack. They both took sharp intakes of breath.

“Sir, are–are you sure that you said 20 billion? Did I hear wrongly?”

The saleswoman gulped. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

“You didn’t hear wrong. Your boss is a businessman. I don’t care about how big your jewelry business is, but businessmen are out to make money. I know that you won’t be able to make a decision as big as this. So why don’t you call your superior and ask about it?”

Jack said after thinking about it.

“All right. I’ll talk to our manager!”

The saleswoman rushed into the office and called the manager out.

Yet the manager was not able to call the shots either. He smiled at Jack. “Sir, we don’t display the Heart of the Abyss outside. Instead, we keep it inside for safeguarding. I can’t make the final decision, but you’re in luck. Our district manager who oversees for the Southwest district, so happens to be here. Please follow me, sir. I’ll take you to see him.”

“All right!”

Jack nodded his head.

He was quickly led into a tunnel by the manager. They wound their way in for a good few meters before the manager opened a heavy steel door. They entered the room.

A beauty in her thirties was lying on the couch. It was evident she was tired, and she was closing her eyes and resting.

“Manager Lowe, didn’t I tell you to not disturb me if there isn’t anything going on? We’ll be putting the Heart of the Abyss on exhibition tomorrow. I’ve been meeting with the media, and I’m tired. I need a good rest today!”

The middle-aged woman wore a crisp white shirt, and she radiated a powerful aura. After she said that, she looked at Jack. “Why did you bring a man in?” she asked impatiently.

Jack ignored her. His attention was already pinned onto a necklace inside a glass casing that stood in the middle of the room. A jewel the color of dark blood was its crowning glory, and the other gemstones sparkling in its circumference made it seem even more otherworldly. It was magnificent.

“So this is the Heart of the Abyss. It’s beautiful. No wonder it’s selling for such a high price!”

He commented as he walked over and observed it.

“Hey! Who are you? Who told you that you could just waltz in here? Don’t you dare get close to the Abyss!”

The beauty shot up to her feet and gave Jack a warning glare. This was an extremely expensive item. What if he was up to no good?

“Manager Lynch, this customer wishes to buy the Heart of the Abyss. That’s why I brought him in!”

Store Manager Lowe explained to the district manager.

Jack also studied Manager Lynch. He could tell that she was no ordinary woman. Judging from her eyes and her taut, yet relaxed position, she was probably a good fighter.

“We’re not selling!”

Manager Lynch relaxed a little after she heard that. “Manager Lowe, it’s not like you don’t know that there’s only one of its kind in the world. This is our crown jewel, and we use it specially for publicity. We’re just bringing it here for an exhibition. I may be the district manager of the Southwest, but even I can’t do much. Besides, this item is not for sale!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 772

“I’m sorry, sir, but we’re not selling this. Our manager was not clear about this. I apologize for wasting your precious time!”

It was evident that the beautiful manager before him was slightly unhappy, but she knew that not any person could think of buying the Heart of the Abyss. That was why she flashed a radiant smile at Jack.

“Ma’am, this man here is offering us 20 billion dollars. That’s why I wanted to ask you about this. He’s offering a huge sum. What if the people up top consider selling it? I was afraid that you would pin the blame on me if we missed the opportunity!”

Store Manager Lowe’s eyes flickered toward Manager Lynch’s. He spoke hesitantly.

“20 billion?”

Naturally, Manager Lynch was surprised when she heard this number. Her lips parted. This man was offering too much.

This was just a necklace. Was it worth it to spend that much money on it?

The necklace was very beautiful though. Any woman would like it.

“Can you make the decision, Manager Lynch?”

Jack gave a wan smile. “I simply must obtain this necklace!” he added.

“I–I’ll ask the boss at our headquarters. I’ll immediately video call him!”

Manager Lynch gulped and whipped her phone out. She immediately video called her boss.

“Miss Lynch, why are you video calling me? We’re going to put the Heart of the Abyss on display tomorrow. Make sure that you perform your bodyguard duties well, all right? We cannot afford a single mistake!”

An old man with frazzled hair sat on the other end of the line. He chuckled as he spoke, and he looked very approachable.

“Boss, we have a customer here who wants to buy the Heart of the Abyss…”

Manager Lynch looked at Jack, who stood behind her. She angled the phone so that he appeared on the screen as well.

The smile on the old man’s face instantly hardened. “Miss Lynch, the Abyss is worth nine billion, but didn’t I say that its value is worth far more than that?” he answered. “There’s only one of its kind in the entire world. Besides, the Heart of the Abyss is our treasure. It’s not for sale. We won’t be able to find anything to replace it anytime soon. More importantly, this is what we use to promote our store!”

Manager Lynch reacted quickly, as though she understood something. “So what you’re saying is that the Heart of the Abyss holds unparalleled value, right, Boss? Including the advertisements and being our signature product!”

The old man nodded his head. He smiled towards Jack. “First of all, sir, I thank you very much for showing interest in our products, and for admiring the Heart of the Abyss so much. But we cannot simply sell this to you…”

Manager Lynch pondered for a while, then she cut in before the old man could finish his sentence: “But this man is offering us 20 billion dollars, Boss. Are you sure you don’t want to consider his offer?”

The old man on the phone creased his brows, obviously considering the offer.

After a while, he gave a bitter smile. “I’m sorry, sir…”

Jack realized that 20 billion was not enough to persuade the old man, considering how he rejected the offer.

“30 billion!”

Jack took a step forward and told the old man.

The old man was taken aback for a moment. “Sir, you’re really making this difficult for us. There is implicit value in that necklace…”

“40 billion!”

Jack offered again.

“But…”

The old man was growing speechless…

“50 billion!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 773

Jack was too tired to continue with the negotiation drama. The sign of hesitation plastered on the other party’s face grew more and more obvious, it meant this ‘Heart of the Abyss’ was truly not ordinary jewelry.

Besides, to Jack, 50 billion dollars was nothing.

“Are…are you sure? 50 billion?”

The boss was visibly elated with the price.

“boss, do I look like I’m joking?”

Jack loosened a chuckle in return.

“You have the deal!”

“We thank you so much for choosing our ‘Heart of The Abyss’. I, on behalf of Daxia Juwel, am willing to give away 200 million dollars worth of other jewelry for you to choose!” The boss added excitedly.

“Wow! Just about right! I need to purchase some diamond rings and earrings too!”

Jack’s mood lightened, letting out joyous laughter.

“Glad to be doing business with you!”

“Me too!”

The boss hung up the video call on his mobile phone. He was ostensibly elated for customers like Jack —generous and magnanimous. It was his first time in his lifetime encountering such a customer.

When the commoners purchased pieces of jewelry in their shop, the most frequent question they asked was if there were any discounts or free gifts.

Meanwhile, this guy did not even ask for a discount nor gift but instead raised the price, billions by billions. If they were not the ones dealing with Jack today, they would not believe such a customer existed. It would be extremely hard to believe that this was true.

“Sir…sir, do you really mean it?”

The good-looking manager asked in a trembling tone, her hands shaking. For a person who was able to shout out 50 billion dollars in such a casual manner, his net-worth must be at least a trillion, perhaps even more.

Furthermore, this man’s whole being was sharp, he was standing straight, and firm and his eyes shot out a ray of perseverance, which made her feel that this man before him must be a veteran who had just returned from the military. This was because an ordinary man would not have such a unique aura and temperament.

“Pay with a card?”

A credit card coated completely with predominant golden color was presented before the manager. Jack chuckled and gestured to her to take the card.

The first thought that came into Manager Lynch’s mind was that this card was privileged and elite, though she had not seen this type of card before. She bobbed her head frantically and then turned to the store manager, “Quickly get the POS machine over, and I will pack up the ‘Heart of the Abyss’ for this gentleman!”

“All right!”

The female store manager flashed a warm smile and left the private room.

Few lines appeared between Jack’s brows; a strange feeling stirred within him. Why did not Manager Lynch pack up the necklace for him first and then went out to swipe the card together? After all, he still had to leave the room and pick the other jewels.

Never did he expect, once the store manager left the room, Manager Lynch shot him a few alluring gazes while packing up the ‘Heart of the Abyss’. Then she slowly leaned towards Jack and breathed out slowly, “Dear Sir, can I have your Twitter account? In the future, if Daxia Juwel produces or stocks in some fine accessories, I could send you some photos!”

Jack’s face sunk in the next second; he was speechless. It seemed like the way he raised the price just now had made this good-looking district manager’s heart beating fast.

Although the salary for such an executive was certainly not close to low, in the face of such a generous and manly Jack, she was somewhat moved and unable to resist his personal charm.

Jack flashed a wan smile, “I don’t normally come to these jewelry shops. I bought this necklace for my wife!”

Jack was hinting to the other party that he was married. As long as the other party was not a fool, she would not press further on the matter of Twitter.

After Manager Lynch had packed up the necklace, she handed it over to Jack, her eyes were completely filled with amorous colors. “It’s just adding friends on Twitter. Don’t tell me you’re scared of a lady like me?”

As she spoke, she caressed Jack’s hand while handing the jewelry box over. Her tone was provocative and suggestive.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 774

However, Jack admitted that the manager before him was indeed gorgeous and charming, no matter her temperament or her body figure. Those eyes of her were even more seductive yet captivating. If Jack were the other ordinary man, he would have fallen into her erotic trap.

He grabbed the box and smiled indifferently, “I don’t think this is necessary. After all, our house is not very far from here. If I’m in need of buying any jewelry, I can just drop by here and see!”

Signs of disappointment flashed in Manager Lynch’s eyes; she was disheartened at Jack’s words. A dirty trick suddenly popped up in her mind and then she pretended to twist her ankle and fell into Jack’s embrace. “Ah!”

Jack’s immediate reflex was to support her from falling further and helped her to stabilize. “Are you alright?”

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! These high heels are too high and uncomfortable. I nearly tripped because of them!”

Manager Lynch’s face was kissed pink, and she was tongue-tied at the situation. She had already acted so proactively, and yet Jack did not show any hint of being attracted! It seemed like Jack was truly not interested in other women, even a beauty like her.

She had never behaved in such a sultry and dirty way; she did not budge in the slightest in front of any other average wealthy people, even looked down upon them. After all, she had always been a conservative person, and coupled with her high academic qualification and salary, she would naturally have an eye for a perfect man like Jack.

Many filthy rich young masters had been wanting to hook her up, but none of them succeeded as she did not give them any chance. Today, this man before her was not only good-looking and with a benevolent temperament, but also his manly behaviors had captivated her, especially during the moment he raised the price billions by billions. Money to him was nothing but stacks of toilet papers— he did not care at all. Such a man had completely fascinated her.

Besides, this was also her first time being so proactive in pleasing a man. She wanted to be conquered by this man; she wanted to become his proudest trophy.

However, this man did not even bother to spare her a gaze.

“Sir, please swipe your card with this POS machine. Also, our boss has informed us that you still have 200 million dollars for the other jewels. I will show you the way later!”

Store Manager Lowe entered the private room with a POS machine in her hand. She quickly let Jack make the payment.

“Manager Lynch, I’m sorry for interrupting your break time. I’ll follow Manager Lowe to pick some other necklace and ring!”

Jack gave a faint smile and went out of the room with Store Manager Lowe.

The awkward smile on Manager Lynch’s face disappeared in the next second the two left. She closed the door feebly, feeling a little lost. Her eyes turned towards the direction of the place where the Heart of The Abyss was once placed, and her heart sank deeply.

“Oh ya! Manager Lowe, I need a favor from you. There’s something I need you to pass on to Manager Lynch in a while!”

After choosing the ring, earrings, and bracelet, Jack quickly thought of something and turned to Store Manager Lowe. “Could you help me to pass on this message to her? That the Heart of The Abyss has already been sold to me, and you won’t be able to exhibit it tomorrow! Hence please announce to the public that it has been sold. As for the fact that I bought it for 50 billion dollars, I hope this can remain a secret. Could you please help?”

“Do you mean we keep the 50 billion dollars as a secret?”

Store Manager Lowe was stunned at Jack’s request. “Sir, if we announce that the necklace was sold for 50 billion dollars, wouldn’t it be great for you in front of your friend and family? Sir, you’re too low

profile!”

‘this is not about me being low profile. If my wife knew that I’ve spent 50 billion for a 9 billion worth necklace, she would scold me! She will say that I squander hard-earn money.

Jack explained in a casual tone, a warm smile showing on his face.

A flash of enlightenment, at the same time, a flicker of envy stirred within Store Manager Lowe when she heard his explanation. “I’m envious of your wife! You’re so willing to spend money on her and consider everything for her!”

“By the way, if you and Manager Lynch are available on that day, feel free to come to my wife’s birthday party!” Jack chuckled.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 775

“No way! Are you serious? We can come too?”

Jack’s invitation elevated Store Manager Lowe’s mood that she almost jumped for joy. A birthday party by a big shot was the sweetest dream that one could have! Besides, those who would be attending the party were definitely not ordinary people. They must have possessed certain statuses in Eastfield.

“Absolutely! Just come over empty-handed and tell the guards that you got my permission!”

After giving some thought to the matter, Jack showed another warm smile and then left the shop.

“Wait. That’s not quite right. Isn’t he only the adopted son-in-law? Can a son-in-law have so much money?”

After Jack exited the door, Store Manager Lowe, who had finally calmed down, thought of something and yelled in surprise. “This fella is too low profile. 50 billion for a necklace? Just wow! No wonder he

promised to give his wife a birthday party that will shake the whole Eastfield. He’s so damn rich!”

The first thing that Jack did once he arrived at home was to hide the Heart of the Abyss, only then he went to search for his wife.

At this time, Selena was strolling leisurely in the garden.

As soon as she saw Jack approaching her, she shot him a blank look. “Jack White! You disappeared early in the morning! Where did you go, huh?”

Jack let out adorable giggles, extended his hands into his pockets, and pulled out several boxes. “Look, your birthday is around the corner. So I went out to buy you some nice accessories!”

“What? How could you go without me? Are you trying to surprise me?”

Inside Selena’s reprimand, hid a hint of happiness; a giggly smile plastered on her face. She took one of the boxes and opened it. “Did you purchase in Daxia Juwel? Their accessories are exorbitantly expensive. Here, look, there’re gems on it, it must be expensive, right? And all these things added up must have cost you a lot!”

Jack smiled lightly, “It’s not expensive, it’s merely over nine million!”

“What the heck? Over nine million dollars, and yet you said it’s not expensive?”

Selena almost fainted at the number. Few lines formed between her brows, and she started to nag in a firmer tone, “No, dear, no! Your act is called impulsive purchase! You’re basically squandering money. Both of us don’t have a job right now and yet you spent so much money on these. If everyone in our house spends like you do, what do you think will happen to our savings? Even if you’ve won 10 billion in billiards, you shouldn’t squander like this!”

Nonetheless, these reprimands of Selena’s are like sunshine flooded into Jack’s chest—he felt warm and elated. He wrapped his arms around Selena and pulled her into his embrace. “You silly. This is our first birthday celebration together, I’d break my bank for it!”

“Hey, hey, let me go. Others are watching!”

Contentment filled her heart as her face turned rosy pink.

“Jack White, you stupid brat. You’re so heroic, huh? I just got to know that you’ve beaten Young Master Drake up! Are you trying to dig a grave for yourself?”

At this time, Fiona returned from her shopping and started to yell at Jack as soon as she spotted Jack in the garden.

“Mother, yes, I did beat him up. I went to Drake’s residence last night. And that’s because he deserves it. As for the reason why I hit him, you don’t have to worry anymore. I’ve already settled it!”

Jack smiled dryly and admitted the deed without hesitation.

“Get out from our house, now! You’ve offended the Drake family, aren’t you having a death wish? I don’t even bother to find out why you beat him up, it must be because he fired you and Selena, and you feel displeased with his action! But you can’t hit people because of that either!”

Fiona pointed at the gate, gave him a dismissive wave of her hands, yelling Jack to get out.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 776

“The heck are you talking about, Ma? Young Master Drake deserved a beating. Anyway, what’s over is over. I don’t think Jack did anything wrong. He helped me to release my anger—that’s why he beat Young Master Drake up!”

Selena was extremely angry when she heard what her mother said. She snarled at Fiona.

“I wouldn’t want that to happen to you either, Selena. But he’s from the Drake family. Offending them is like signing your death certificate!”

Fiona was truly worried.

“What’s going on, Ma?”

Ben and Andrew walked out and asked, their expressions furrowed in concern.

Fiona released a sigh and shot Jack a vicious glare. “I just heard that this fellow had gone and beaten the young master of the Drake family up,” she explained to Ben. “Isn’t it infuriating? I heard that Young Master Drake is still being hospitalized, and his condition is uncertain!”

“No way. Weren’t you being a little brash, Jack? We understand why you spoke against him in the first place—you did it for the billion dollars, right? Even if speaking against him would mean embarrassing him in front of everyone. And of course, Young Master Drake did go overboard by firing Selena as well!”

Andrew stepped forward, his brows drawing together. “But it’s too much, isn’t it, beating up a young master just because of that?” he continued, “They even offered the two of you jobs in the first place. They’re stronger than some first-class aristocratic families. Aren’t you afraid that they’ll destroy the entire Taylor family?”

“That’s right!”

Fiona interjected immediately, “So shouldn’t we chase him out now? He invited disaster upon himself. He shouldn’t drag us into it!”

Ben spoke up after thinking for a while, “Ma, it’s true that Jack was being rash, but he did lash out for Selena’s sake. We don’t have much choice now. The past is all in the past. All of us should just leave together. I think James Drake won’t let us off that easily no matter what we say since his son has been beaten up. We can’t just single Jack out. The rest of us won’t be able to escape either!”

“That’s right. Why don’t we all leave together? It hurts my heart to think of leaving this villa, but we can bring our valuables along with us. Most of our money is in the bank anyway that can be easily accessed with our cards!”

Fiona instantly suggested, realizing that Ben’s words made sense.

“Don’t be afraid, Father, Mother. They won’t come to us looking for trouble!”

Jack flashed a bitter smile as he watched everyone fly into panic mode. “Think about it. I brought Selena along last night and caused a ruckus for them. They would have done something about it yesterday if they really wanted to retaliate. Furthermore, it’s already this late into the morning, but they haven’t sent anyone over. Do you really think they’ll come? If you do, wouldn’t they be scared that we would take off sooner?”

Realization dawned upon Ben when he heard Jack’s words. “You’re right. If they really wanted to find trouble with us, they probably would have done so yesterday night or this morning. They wouldn’t have waited until now.”

“Hmm. That’s true…”

Andrew also seemed to realize that the idea made sense.

“But I really think that the Drake family won’t let us off so easily. It’s possible that they prioritized sending Young Master Drake to the hospital because he was so badly injured. Maybe they’ve already

sealed off all the roads leading out of the city. We probably won’t even have a chance to escape. They’ll come for us once their young master has fully recovered!”

Fiona was still fearful—to the point that her imagination began to run wild.

“Ma, all this actually happened because Young Master Drake tried to take advantage of me. He was a little drunk last night when he came into the office, and he tried to get all touchy. Jack only beat him up after he knew about this! I believe that even the Drake family themselves would think that this was rational. Besides, Jack is so strong. It’s likely they won’t cause trouble for us!”

Selena cast a side-glance at Jack, then she explained everything in his place. She did not want him to bear the responsibility alone.

“What? That Young Master Drake actually tried to…”

Only then did Fiona understand that Jack had beaten Young Master Drake up for other reasons, and not because of the job-related incident.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 777

She gave Jack a long look. “All right. I wrongfully accused you just now,” she said. “I thought you had gone and beaten the young master up because of what happened to Selena and your job. You really do have a valid reason for beating him up then, if that had happened!”

“Ma, how did you know about this anyway?”

Selena asked Fiona after she thought about it.

“Oh, I overheard a few people gossiping about it when I was out shopping. It gave me such a scare that I immediately rushed back!”

Fiona patted her chest, but she was still anxious as she thought about it. “But what if the Drake family lashes against us in secret, instead of broad daylight? That will be even harder to prevent. I really think that we should all just stay at home and not go out at all!”

“No way, Mom. I’ve just opened my cybercafé. I need to make sure that everything’s running smoothly for these few days, especially when we’re getting so many customers!”

Ben spoke with a smile, “I trust what Jack said. If he says that they fear him, they fear him. They would have come looking for us a long time ago otherwise.”

“No way. It’s not like we lack the money from your cybercafe business. I won’t be able to live on if you ever die!”

Fiona did not dare to allow Ben out alone.

“Elaine, take a few of the other bodyguards and follow me!”

Ben waved Elaine and a few other bodyguards over; they had been standing at the side.

“You won’t worry if I’m going out like this. Right, Mom?”

After Elaine and the others walked over, Ben said to Fiona, grinning.

“Fine. Go on then!”

Fiona waved her hand helplessly.

…

“Master, Master! Good news!”

At this moment, a man from the Eagle clan ran over to Master Neuman, smiling.

“What’s going on? You seem excited!”

Lee asked, smiling bitterly.

“Good news. I heard that Young Master Drake has fired Jack and his wife, and the young master tried to make a move with the wife. So Jack brought his wife to the Drake family’s residence and beat the living sh*t out of Timothy Drake. He’s still in the hospital now!”

The middle-aged man grinned as he reported everything.

Lee’s eyes immediately brightened when he heard that. He quickly leaped to his feet. “Really? Fantastic! This way, we won’t have to act so fast for now. We’ll wait and watch what happens. Offending the Drake family is practically digging your own grave. Let’s see if the Drake family helps us to get rid of that little punk.”

“Of course the Drake family would do something. James Drake has only one son, after all!”

The middle-aged man said, smiling.

“Mmhmm. Seems like the gods are smiling upon me!”

Lee lifted his chin ever so slightly, his gaze filled with excitement.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 778

“Tell everyone that we’re halting operations for now! We’ll wait and see how the situation is after two days!”

In a flash, Lee’s good humor had been restored. It would be fantastic if the Drake family were to kill Jack off. He would not have to do a single thing then.

“Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.”

…

Ken Clark was excited as well. He guffawed as he came before Ivan, Neil, and Xena before taking a seat.

“What’s going on, Young Master Clark? Looks like you’re excited about something!”

Ivan flashed a mirthless smile. He had finally recovered from his injuries, and he could return to the Taylor family’s residence. He also thought about introducing Xena to his family sometime during the next few days.

When he thought about the expressions on Ben’s and the others’ faces, delight jolted in him.

“Jack has gone looking for trouble again. He really doesn’t quit playing with fire.”

Ever since Young Master Clark had stepped foot into the coffee shop, he did not stop grinning. “I think we won’t need to create trouble for him anymore. He has signed a death wish for himself now.”

“What? Really? Who did he offend this time?”

Neil immediately knew that Jack had gone and offended someone else again when he heard that. After he thought about it, his eyes brightened. “Don’t tell me he’s offended a first-class aristocratic family this time? Now that punk isn’t afraid of us. But he’ll be in big trouble if he offended a first-class aristocratic family!”

He did not expect Ken to shake his head. The latter earnestly tapped his index finger against the table. “He didn’t offend a first-class aristocratic family this time, but the Drake family!”

A frosty smile spread across Ivan’s lips as he registered the words. “You’re joking, Young Master Clark. Jack has good relations with the Drake family, especially since he’s constantly by Miss Tanya’s side after he was hired as their bodyguard. He’s constantly shadowing her, and they’re pretty much good friends. Why would Jack offend them? He’s not an idiot!”

“It’s all because of the billion dollars! That punk’s head must have been high at the prospect of that much money!”

Ken laughed. Then he told everyone about what he had heard in detail.

“So that’s what happened. He just pretended that he did not know how to play billiards and swindled Young Master Turner of one billion dollars. Tsk. Leo’s probably really good in billiards. No one would believe Jack if he claimed that he had just picked it up. It’s obvious that he’s good in the sport if he was able to beat Leo!”

“No wonder Young Master Drake could not suffer the sight any longer. So he helped to speak up, saying that Jack had gone mad for insisting on a billion dollars because he wanted money. And he didn’t spare Young Master Drake’s reputation! That was probably why Young Master Drake was so angry that he went looking for Selena Taylor!”

Ivan gave a wry smile and took a sip out of his cup of coffee. “Ah. What a pity. I had hoped that Jack would embarrass himself to no end during Selena’s birthday party and that he would just curdle out of shame. Who knew that he won’t be living for more than a few days now!”

Xena, who was sitting beside him, thought about it for a while. “But Jack is the son-in-law of the Taylor family, Ivan,” she said, anxiety laced in her tone. “Won’t the Drake family retaliate against the Taylor family as well in a moment of anger?”

Ivan furrowed his brows at the idea. “I don’t think so. We didn’t offend them. Besides, Jack and his family have never lived with us before. James is a reasonable man. They would suffer plenty of losses

if they really tried to fight us, especially since Jack is a good fighter.”

Right at this moment, a phone rang out.

Ivan gestured for everyone to remain silent before picking up the phone, getting onto his feet.

His expression darkened as the call went on. “F*ck. Jack is really dragging our entire family through the dirt!”

“What’s wrong, Ivan?”

Xena quickly asked.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 779

She was a little worried. What if Young Master Drake suffered from serious injuries and his father was absolutely furious? It would be troublesome if they acted against Ivan and the others.

It was a small possibility, but it could not be completely ruled out.

Besides, it had not been easy for her to become Ivan’s girlfriend. It would be extremely unfair if she were to be dragged into this and get killed along with everyone else. She would not even get a chance to enjoy her life for a short period of time! She could not let that happen.

“The Drake family called to inform us that we’re officially withdrawn from the Southern Hills development project. And they won’t give us any compensation for breaking the contract!”

Ivan gave a bitter smile. “The old man is super angry right now. He’s calling a meeting for all members of the family.”

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. “Let’s go then. There’s no time like the present. Come with me, Xena. Since the old man has called all the Taylor family members for the meeting, I’m sure that Selena,

Jack, and even Ben will be there. Since they’re all there, I’ll introduce you to everyone then. I’ll let them know that you’re my girlfriend!”

Xena furrowed her brows. “Is–is it appropriate to tell them about me now?”

“Of course it is!”

Ivan splayed his arms. “Everyone will be there. If I introduce you and everyone knows that you’re my girlfriend, Jack won’t kill you off just like that, right? It wouldn’t do if the Taylor family found out. After all, I’m their cousin! It’ll be insurance for your life, announcing this. If I don’t announce it, what if Jack secretly kills you to exact revenge for Ben? What if he says that he didn’t know you were my girlfriend?”

After Xena heard that, she too, thought that it made sense. She nodded her head. “All right then. I’ll go with you. But I’m not prepared for this. I’m so nervous. I didn’t even bring any gifts!”

Ivan took her hand. “No need to buy anything. I’m just going to introduce you because this meeting happened to be now. Don’t worry. I’m here!”

“Ah, I would go over and see the look on Ben’s face if I actually had a reason for going.”

Ken burst into laughter.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Taylor. Old Man Taylor will certainly be angry because of how the Drake family had canceled all their plans, but it’s not your fault. It’s all because Jack beat Young Master Drake up. That’s why the person to be reprimanded will naturally be Jack. The old man will give him thorough hiding!”

Neil flashed a cold smile as he spoke.

“That’s right. I didn’t do anything wrong. Nothing to be worried about!”

Smiling, Ivan brought Xena out.

Jack and Ben and the others also received calls. They all went to the largest hall in the Taylor family’s villa.

There were plenty of couches and stools all around. The Taylor family would use this space to discuss important matters whenever they cropped up.

At this moment, Old Man Taylor’s expression looked grim. The people around him all dipped their heads as well. The atmosphere was thick and heavy.

The doors gradually opened. Selena, Jack, and the others strode in.

“Hmph!”

Old Man Taylor harrumphed when he saw Jack. It was clear that he was furious.

“Grandpa, is there something wrong? Why did you summon us over?”

Selena managed an awkward smile, asking tentatively. During the call earlier, Cecilia simply told them to come over and admit their mistakes, huffing angrily. She did not speak about the entire situation.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong! Of course, that hotheaded husband of yours went and caused trouble again!”

At this moment, Ivan walked in with Xena, a humorless smile on his lips. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Ivan, why did you bring her here? Isn’t she Ben’s girlfriend?”

Theodore could not help but furrow his brows when he saw his son walking in with Xena.

Ivan gave a wry smile. He cast Ben a purposeful look before speaking, “Yes, Xena was Ben’s girlfriend. But he’s useless. He’s already in his twenties, but he’s still a good-for-nothing. Of course, Xena would want a more established man!”

Here, he smiled at the audience and introduced her, “Everyone, this is Xena Jackson, and she’s my girlfriend. And we’re a match made in heaven.”

Ben’s expression soured, and redness limned his eyes although he was well aware that Xena was a cruel and horrible person. A woman like her was not even worthy of his affections, but he had been with her for a long time. His heart still ached when he saw her.

“Oh. So she’s your girlfriend now? Congratulations! It’s only right that a beauty is paired with a prince, instead of some neet who only knows how to play video games all day. It would be a miracle if the girlfriend of someone like that didn’t run off!”

Cecilia spoke sardonically after she heard that, folding her arms across her chest.

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Of course, there would be someone willing to pick up what Ben sees as trash. Birds of a feather flock together, after all!”

Jack gave a mirthless chuckled when he heard that. “But those who keep money-minded women will live to regret their decision!”

“That’s right. I’ve never seen such a shameless person in my life!”

Selena also huffed angrily, furious in place of her brother.

“You…you’re saying that we’re shameless? That we’re trash?”

Ivan was furious now. He took a step forward and glared at Jack.

However, he quickly thought of something, and his anger quickly dissipated. Instead, he gave a wry smile. “Jack, not sure if you’ve been feeling kind of weak lately?”

Jack was going to die after ten more days. What use was there in arguing with a person who was sentenced to death?

Jack was stunned. He immediately knew what Ivan meant when he said that. The other man was trying to pry and see if he had taken the poison, and if there were obvious symptoms now.

He wore a surprised expression on purpose. “That’s right. I’ve been a little out of it lately as if my limbs are weak. But what does it have to do with you?” he said to Ivan. “Isn’t it normal to feel lethargic during the summer?”

Ivan’s heart was delighted when he heard Jack admitting to that. Still, he maintained his composure as he said, “You look like you could use some rest. That’s why I asked!”

“Enough! I wanted to have a meeting to speak about certain matters, not for the both of you to argue!”

At last, Old Man Taylor snapped impatiently.

He waited until everyone have quiet down before speaking, looking at Jack as he did so. “Jack, do you know what your brash decision of beating Young Master Drake up has cost us? Do you know the losses the Taylor family will suffer?”
