When Lee noticed that David was raising the issue, he said, “To be honest, you know as well as I do that the Eagle Clan has suffered heavy losses before this. We lost 300 men, and we’ve been searching for the culprit behind their murders. We must avenge their deaths by killing him!”

“Oh? So did you find him?”

David’s heart nearly skipped a beat. He said, “Master Neuman, why are you here then? Don’t tell me that you suspect one of us? Your 300 men were all elites from the headquarters. One of them was even one of the Four Fighters from the Eagle Clan. We certainly don’t have the means to have a man slaughter so many people!”

“It’s all a misunderstanding! You misunderstood me, Master Wilson,” Lee replied hurriedly. “I don’t want to cause any trouble by coming to you. I wanted to cooperate with you!”

Here, Lee paused for a while and cast a glance toward Michael, who stood to the side. “According to our investigations, Jack was the one who killed our 300 men,” he continued. “That son-in-law of the Taylor family, Jack!”

“What!”

Michael immediately exclaimed when he heard that. His expression revealed utter disbelief. “No way. Is he that strong?”

“You don’t know who he really is?”

Lee was surprised. “I know that you’re on pretty good terms with Selena. Shouldn’t you have some knowledge about the circumstances surrounding Jack White?”

“Not really. I’ve seen him fight before, but he was only facing off against a few dozen bodyguards. I know that he’s pretty strong, but no way that he killed all 300 of your men all by himself!”

Michael still felt that it was impossible. He looked straight at Lee. “Maybe you’ve got the wrong guy? The man who killed your people from the Eagle Clan, at least had the strength of a marshal or a King of War. And Jack is probably just a head commander!”

“No way. We’ve verified our sources. It’s definitely him!”

Lee was extremely adamant. “Jack is a funny little character. I suspected that he was a King of War who was hiding his true strength and keeping a low profile. But once he’s provoked, the consequences are unimaginable.”

At this moment, David nodded his head after he thought about the subject. “Jack is very strong. I was also curious why so many people respect him even though he was just an assistant commander. And many war veterans had turned up for Old Man Taylor’s birthday party!”

“Dad, if Jack truly turns out to be a King of War, it doesn’t matter if he’s only a one-star King of War— he’ll be extremely difficult to beat! What do we do? Don’t tell me that I have no hope of taking revenge?”

Michael twisted his features into a grimace, clearly unhappy with the news.

“Don’t worry. The Wilsons cannot beat him alone. But we have our brothers from the Eagle Clan with us. Isn’t that right?”

David chuckled. “Master Neuman said it himself just now, that he came over to negotiate an agreement between us. You won’t let him go just like that, won’t you, knowing that he murdered your men?”

“Bingo!”

Lee gave a wan smile. “Just get some of your best men ready and wait for our orders. We’ll get in contact then and set out to kill Jack. We’ll arrange everything else!”

“But I don’t feel assured even if we combine the forces from our two families. In fact, I feel like we’ll suffer many casualties! If we lose too many of our men, our position and power will drop significantly!”

David felt unsure of the plan after he thought about it for a while.

“Don’t worry about it, Master Wilson. Jack is a certified assh*le. He even offended the Green Sky Hall. Soon enough, we’ll have the Green Sky Hall by our side as well!”

Lee flashed a mysterious smile and said, “But you’ll have to wait patiently for our arrangements!”

“No problem. It’s a done deal then!”

David extended his hand. The two men shook hands, faces beaming triumphantly.

At that moment, Jack and the others had just finished their lunch at the hotel. They were about to go back after a scrumptious meal.

“It wasn’t that expensive now, was it? We only spent over seven hundred thousand dollars. I thought the bill would go over a million!”

Fiona was rich now. When she spoke, there was an undeniable tinge of arrogance laced in her words.

“Ma, you really… Did you forget our struggling days in poverty?”

Selena gave a bitter smile. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Ah, why would I compare myself to the olden days? Now I have a son-in-law who can bring in the dough, and my daughter makes plenty of money as well. Of course, I should indulge myself. Money is meant to be spent!”

Fiona grinned and looked at Joan beside her. “Let’s go, Joan dear. I saw some nice clothes in a boutique yesterday. I think it’d suit you. Why don’t we go shopping?”

“Is it expensive?”

Joan frowned. She remembered how Jack had brought her to buy plenty of clothing and all sorts of unnecessary things the last time. Even now, she was still not used to it.

Besides, Jack gave her quite a lot of money. Now that it was in her grasp, she could not bear to spend it every time she flashed back to her days as a cleaner.

“It’s not that expensive. Just a little more than ten thousand dollars. More importantly, it will look good on you. I’m a little short, so I probably won’t look good in it. Why would I recommend the clothes to you otherwise?”

Fiona chuckled as she spoke. Jack had given her ninety million dollars yesterday. She was in good spirits now, and she was even feeling amicable toward her son-in-law.

“Alright then!”

Joan smiled and agreed to the proposal to go shopping.

Of course, two of the beautiful bodyguards tailed after them to ensure their safety.

“Let’s go, Ben. We’ll take a look at your cybercafe and see how it is doing now!”

Andrew drank quite a bit during lunchtime, and now his cheeks were flushed. He patted his son’s shoulder and they left. Naturally, a few bodyguards followed them as well.

“Let’s go, dear. We’ll take Kylie to the aquarium. I did promise her, after all!”

Jack looked at the beautiful Selena beside him, smiling as he spoke.

“Alright! Kylie had been wanting to go for a long time now. But I didn’t have the time nor the money, so I told her that we would go together once Daddy is back.

“That’s why Kylie always hoped that you would return soon so that you could bring her there!”

Selena’s eyes began to reddened as she reminisced about what had happened these past few years.

At that time, she had been extremely afraid that Jack would never return. She had been fearful that he would die on the battlefield.

Kylie would not have a father then, and she would officially be an orphan.

Fortunately, the gods were smiling upon them, and Jack returned. He did not disappoint her either, turning out to be a strong and reliable man.

“Don’t worry. I’m back now. All we need to do is live our lives peacefully. We’ll definitely be happy together!”

Jack was touched. He swept Kylie into his arms and walked forward.

Orchid and three other female bodyguards trailed after them, keeping an eye out for danger.

In a car not too far away from them, Flynn was watching the entire exchange furiously.

“It’s time to make a move, Cousin. Jack has been poisoned for a few days now. He’s definitely not in his best form to fight!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 713

Flynn spoke with such hatred, and he gritted his teeth in fury and bitterness.

“Don’t wear yourself out over this. The people I’ve dispatched are ready to give Jack a good beating without killing him. We still need to wait for him to make a fool of himself and die painfully during Selena’s birthday party.” With a cynical grin on his face, Ken then took out his phone to make a call.

Not a second later, more than a dozen people walked out from an alley, seemingly dubious and shady- looking.

Flynn frowned as he looked at the people slowly emerging from the alley. “Are these people reliable, Ken?”

“Don’t worry. I was afraid of exposing myself so I employed gangsters, but there are several strong ones among them, and they’re definitely reliable!” Ken said confidently. “Of course, they’re no match to a not-poisoned Jack, but as luck would have it, he’s weakening due to the poison as we speak. It’s been days now, and he definitely seems to be unaware. Rest assured: these people could give him a good one-two.”

Still, Flynn was considerably worried—and rather surprised—when he saw four stunning ladies with Jack. “Look at him. He has four women with him, and the words ‘Taylor family’s bodyguard’ are written on their clothes… I wonder what these four women are like.”

“We never heard of Jack employing bodyguards. F*ck!” Ken cursed the wind. “Now that Xena isn’t with them, we won’t get updates about them in real-time.”

Once he gave the women a once-over, Ken then surmised, “It should be fine. Look at those four women. Do they look like bodyguards? All of them have long legs, fair skin and pretty faces. Well, there’s no reason to fret. They’re no match for a gang this many in number, and that’s for sure!”

Flynn nodded, agreeing to Ken. “Jack is really good at employing bodyguards, I’ll give him that. All of them are so pretty. I don’t think he’s employing bodyguards… I think he’s getting his hands on women!”

“My thoughts exactly,” snapped Ken. “This womanizer! Selena loves him so much, but he might’ve had secret affairs with these women since long ago. That irks me so much! And here I am, holding Selena so dear to me and treats her so well. I don’t even mind that she’s married and has a child. How dare she ignore me! This is so frustrating!”

…

Orchid’s keen eyes noted the group of people walking toward them from afar, and she saw the unmistakable look of malice in their eyes. “Master, see those people there? They seem to be coming our way!”

“There are only a dozen people, so I’ll leave them to you guys.” With his child, Kylie in his arms, he gently spoke, “Kylie, turn your head away, don’t look forward now. You might be frightened of what’ll happen next. It might get brutal.”

The last thing Jack expected was for Kylie’s defiant, “No!” She then pouted. “I want to see how the pretty sisters fight the bad guys. I want to beat bad guys up when I’m older, too! I’ll beat anyone who bullies Mommy and Daddy!”

“This girl…” At a loss of words for a good while, he felt a warm sensation going through the fibers of his being. “Alright. Since you’re brave enough, you can look.”

Turning to his bodyguards, Jack then ordered, “If they make a move, you fight back, but don’t kill anybody so you don’t scare Kylie. Just give them a beating they’ll never forget!”

“Yes, Master!” Orchid and the group nodded.

The gangsters acted nonchalant—somewhat unsuspicious—as they came closer, but they instantaneously reacted once they came close enough to Jack and his company.

“Beat them!” yelled one of the people with dyed-blonde hair, and everyone else rushed toward Jack not a moment later.

All four beautiful female bodyguards encompassed Jack and his family defensively. They attacked at the same time.

In just a blink of an eye, the gangsters dropped like flies as they moaned and writhed in pain.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 714

“How’s that possible? There are a dozen of them! Hasn’t it only been a few seconds? Every single one has fallen!” Ken’s jaws nearly dropped to the ground when he saw the turn of events, at how the gangsters were defeated so fast.

“Didn’t you say that the people you employed were reliable, Ken? Look: We failed to even test that guy’s true power. He hadn’t even done anything, and all our people had already fallen!” The expression Flynn was wearing was equatable to unadulterated fury as his chest heaved.

“This is an accident, Flynn. This is definitely an accident! I never thought these girls would be so skilled!” Ken smiled sheepishly. He could only watch as Jack swiftly walked away and left in their car.

“These female bodyguards aren’t weak!” said Flynn after he composed himself from his thoughts. “Since you’re afraid that Jack would recognize the bodyguards you normally have with you, my only

remaining choice is to call and get the masters from the Young family.”

Ken nodded after he thought about it. “Agreed. Make the call, and make sure you get several good ones. However, it’s best if you don’t tell your parents about what happened to your leg for the time being. I’m afraid that they’ll be so angry that they’ll go after Jack the moment they knew what had actually happened. If that happens, we won’t be able to see Jack dying painfully during Selena’s birthday party!”

Flynn nodded and agreed to it. “Right. We can’t let this guy die so easily!”

…

“Jack, do you know who those people are? Why are they after us?” Although those people were no rivals of their bodyguards, Selena was still worried.

Their family was exposed for all eyes to see while the enemy hid behind shadows. It was difficult to hide from these people if they were constantly ambushed!

Behind the wheels, Jack frowned. “I really don’t know about this. There’s a possibility that it’s Ivan. I did beat him up, after all. Michael must hate me too, so there’s that. Of course, it seems that it might be Ken and Young Master Hugo. Apart from that, I also offended the so-called Green Sky Hall and ended their businesses that earned money. It could be them…”

Then, Jack’s eyes brightened as he exclaimed, “Oh, yes! Young Master Gold from the Gold family also lost something last night. If he’s narrow-minded, it might be him!”

Selena was speechless; it only occurred to her how many people Jack had offended without her knowing it. Guessing the perpetrator’s identity would be a difficult task indeed.

Mulling over her thoughts for a moment, a thought then stood out among the rest as she exclaimed, “Oh my god! Could it be that the Xenos family from the Sky City had come for us? Didn’t you say that the Xenos family is very powerful? I heard that they’re almost like the Drake family. We’re in so much trouble if it’s them”

Selena was even worried as she continued, frowning as she did, “This is really bad. How are you able to offend so many people? Dear me… What should we do? If it’s people from the Xenos family, then—”

Noting that his wife’s nerves were frazzled, Jack quickly assured her, “Honey, don’t worry. I can assure you that it’s not people from the Xenos family. They’re a strong family, so they would’ve come with a group of strong bodyguards. I’ve killed the master’s son, so isn’t it right that the patriarch comes forward?”

Jack then added, “Those people are just gangsters, and the Xenos people wouldn’t come with these people if they wanted revenge. Those gangsters seem to be from our Eastfield!”

Hearing her husband’s explanation, Selena relaxed as she petted her chest and muttered, “Oh, thank goodness… It’s best if it’s not the Xenos family. We’re lucky that all ten bodyguards that you’ve employed are quite good. I’d say that people with subpar skills won’t break a sweat for our bodyguards.”

“Yes! The pretty sisters are so strong! It’d be so good if I can be as good as them when I grow up!” chirped Kylie as she giddily clapped with her delicate hands.

“Don’t worry! A child with clever and intelligent parents will grow up to be just like them. Kylie, you’ll be an extremely strong person when you grow up. If not, you’re not worthy of being my daughter!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 715

Jack chuckled aloud right after that.

“What are you talking about?” Selena, who was beside him, lightly pinched at his thigh and rolled her eyes at him. “I don’t want my daughter to be a brawny girl when she grows up!”

“With how Kylie’s looking, she won’t be such a burly girl!” said Jack with a grin on his face. “However, we still need to teach her the skills she has to learn so she could protect herself. What’ll happen if she crosses paths with bad people and she can’t defend herself? Look at my daughter: She’ll be a stunner once she grows up!”

Selena nodded in agreement. “That’s right. After all, she’s my daughter!”

….

Not longer after, Jack brought his wife and daughter to the aquarium. They enjoyed a happy afternoon together and went home at around night time.

The following few days seemed normal.

However, 20 days to Selena’s birthday, something did happen. As he was driving home, he was stopped on the road.

Several people in black suits came down from the car in front of him, and they menacingly rubbed their knuckles as they came closer.

Jack got down from his car afterward.

“We’ll get him this time, Flynn. The people here this time are the stronger bodyguards from your family. It’s been ten days since Jack drank the poison, so this guy’s body must be extremely weak right now. I do wonder if he notices the condition of his body!” In a car not far away, Ken looked over where Jack was, and a small smile appeared on his face. “I must admit I feel giddy when I think of how we’ll hurt this guy later!”

Flynn seemed just as excited as he had been waiting for this day for a long time now. “That’s for sure. Two of the people I asked to come today are team leaders for our bodyguards. I think their fighting prowess can almost rival that of a major…”

Meanwhile…

“Who sent you guys?” Jack stood by the roadside and searched for a slightly spacious place. A group of seven to eight men had already surrounded him.

“You’re not qualified to know that, young man! We won’t tell you either!” One of the men smiled coldly as he twisted his head side to side, cracking his neck.

“Really? Well, let me tell you all something: You’re all out of luck because my daughter isn’t here today.” came Jack’s reply, nonchalant like the smile on his face.

“What does your daughter’s presence have to do with us? The order we received is to beat you up until you can’t move!” said the man opposite Jack before cackling aloud.

“If my daughter’s not here, the only option left for you is to die!” Jack smiled coldly. He stepped forward and made the first attack.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 716

“You’re rather boastful, young man!” One of the bodyguards cackled sinisterly. He balled his fist and swung it, aiming for Jack when he saw him rushing toward them.

The fists from both men collided against each other, and the powerful force set off waves of gusts. Such a force sent the man flying.

The man vomited blood and was in disbelief; he never thought that the man before him could conjure such power. Jack’s energy exceeded his that it was the strength of a falling mountain.

The man fell to the ground as blood oozed out of his mouth. His face immediately turned extremely pale.

Jack took no breaks as he gave a sharp punch to another man’s neck. The unmistakable sound of something snapping could be heard, and the man fell lifelessly onto the floor.

A few more punches later, several masters died on the spot.

“I—Impossible!” The face of the man on the ground turned pale after seeing how the tides had turned. Every companion of his was a master, yet they were massacred so easily.

“Argh!” Another man—one with skills on par with a major—was also killed by Jack easily in just two seconds.

“You’re the last one. Do you believe me now?” Jack smirked sardonically at the man on the floor as he walked toward him.

Jack took out a cigarette and lit it up when he reached that person. He smoked for a short while before asking, “Speak up. Who sent you people?”

“I… I don’t know!” The man gritted his teeth and was afraid. By instinct, the man turned to look at the BMW car parked not too far away on the opposite road.

Somewhat stunned, Jack followed this person’s line of sight and looked over.

“F*ck! What’s that fool looking over here for?!” Ken was immediately afraid when he saw the bodyguard looking over. He immediately started the car, stepped on the gas and left.

At this moment, both he and Flynn were downright petrified.

Those were the best fighters among all the bodyguards in the Young family. Among them, two were more-than-ordinary fighters. It never occurred to both Ken and Flynn that Jack could slay them so easily.

Jack laughed at the speed of the perpetrators leaving. “They left so fast! What cowards!”

With Jack’s attention different, a flash of fierceness appeared in the eyes of the man lying on the ground. Pulling a dagger out, the man rushed toward Jack and aimed the dagger at Jack’s abdomen.

Of course, Jack was much faster. With a flip of his hand, Jack caught his hand and stabbed the knife into the startled man’s chest.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 717

When Jack loosened his hand, the man fell straight to the floor, his eyes still wide open in fright.

“Quite the bunch of suicidal people.” Smirking callously, Jack went back to his car and swiftly left the scene.

This time, he obviously had to show these people some consequences as it was difficult for him to live life in peace if they constantly interfered with his life.

…

Ken drove far away, still worried when he noted Jack was not trailing after them. He could only get a breather once they reached the Clark family mansion.

“Was I imagining things, Flynn? There are people with the fighting powers of majors among the masters from the Young family, yet Jack… Jack killed them so easily?!” Gulping nervously, Ken wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Flynn frowned and was quiet for some time before he spoke, “What’s going on? Why do I feel like that guy isn’t poisoned? Could Ivan and Xena have fooled us?”

Ken clenched his fists when he heard what Flynn had said. “F*ck. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m starting to wonder if we were played by that woman, Xena. If Jack was poisoned, he wouldn’t have been so powerful. More importantly, Jack has killed masters that were on par with majors of an army. Didn’t he say he’s a head commander in the army? Was he performing extraordinarily? That’s impossible!”

“This man is no commander, that’s for sure. He kept hiding his true strength, but I think he’s a marshal!” As he thought about it, Flynn then asserted, “It’s almost impossible for him to be a King of War. After all, there are very few people who are Kings of War, and they’re very well-known. I think he’s a marshal. There are quite a number of marshals, and it’s quite normal for him to not be well-known!”

“If Jack really is a marshal, why does this guy want to hide his identity?” wondered Ken.

“How would I know?!” Flynn was just as blank and clueless as to why Jack would hide his true strength or identity.

A thought then occurred to him as his eyes lit up. “I get it! Some people might have the fighting strength of a marshal, and while he could’ve been a marshal, he might’ve made a mistake and was thus demoted!”

Ken nodded. “That makes sense. He might be lying when he said he lost his token and that he’s just a normal soldier. He might’ve had a title but was demoted to a normal soldier after he made a mistake. He must’ve felt embarrassed if he mentioned this, or he might even get scolded by his wife or mother- in-law, thus he decided to better keep it a secret.”

“Hmm… That must be it!” The more Flynn thought about it, the more possibilities were presented. He thought about it some more before he turned to Ken and said, “What should we do now then?”

Ken thought about it and said, “I’ll go meet Ivan and Xena first. We’re asking Young Master Hugo to join us too. We’ll tell them about what happened today and see what they say. After all, we might be able to come up with a good plan when everyone’s together.”

Ken asked someone to carry Flynn back into the house before driving to the hospital with his subordinates. He also asked Young Master Hugo to come over as well.

“Why are the two of you here? I’ve recovered, and I’m getting ready to be discharged!” said a grinning Ivan as Ken and Neil approached him. “Did Xena tell you that I’m getting discharged? Are you guys picking me up so we can go celebrate over a meal?”

“I’m not sure. Young Master Clark called me and asked me here, saying that there’s something important to discuss.” Neil looked at Ken in doubt.

Ivan’s grin fell at that moment as he had a bad feeling. “What is it? Did something happen?”

Ken looked at Xena meaningfully before he spoke to Ivan, “Let’s go and find a place where we can all sit down. I’ll explain to you guys while we’re eating.”

Xena frowned as she was uncomfortable at how Ken looked at her. It made her feel like she was a spy.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 718

Not long after, Ken brought the group to a hotel, had a private room and ordered some dishes.

Once they had finished ordering, Ken looked at Xena and asked, “Miss Xena, are you sure Jack drank the poison we gave you?”

Xena was startled at the question and looked somewhat uncertain before she replied, “Yes, I saw him drink it with my own eyes. I even passed him the mineral water myself. I saw him drink half a bottle in one go and threw the remaining into the dumpster.”

“You didn’t remember wrongly, no?” Ken asked again, still in doubt of what had actually gone down.

“Of course not. I remember everything clearly! He definitely drank it,” came Xena’s defense. “Why? Young Master Clark, what’s going on? Are you suspecting that I’m lying?”

A thought occurred to Xena, and her expression immediately turned cold. “I risked my life and worked undercover for you guys. Do you know how nervous I was? I was so afraid that Jack would catch onto what I was doing, and I could only take a breather when I saw him drinking water from that mineral bottle. How dare you suspect I’m lying!”

Ivan turned to Ken and said, “Young Master Clark, what happened exactly? Why would you ask Xena this? She doesn’t need to lie to us, even if she didn’t succeed.”

It was only then when Ken said, “It’s been more than a dozen days since Jack took the poison, right? The poison would’ve taken effect after ten days, and we’re all waiting for him to die painfully during Selena’s birthday. However, I’ve sent two different groups of people out to get him. I wanted to test how his body was faring, and I wanted to exact vengeance.”

Ivan and Young Master Taylor looked at each other, somewhat excited when they heard this.

“How was it? It isn’t possible that his body has no symptoms, right?” fretted Xena.

Ken took a deep breath and stated, “I think he’s not poisoned. The first time I sent people after him, nothing much happened since he had his bodyguards with him. The second time, my cousin, Flynn asked several masters from the Young family over, and…”

Ken halted for a good while before he anxiously remarked, “I think Jack’s got fighting capabilities rivaling that of a marshal.”

“A marshal?” The faces of Ivan and the others darkened. If that was the case, it would be very difficult to get rid of Jack.

“No wonder! It’s no wonder the pretty assassin we hired previously was unable to kill this guy. He had been hiding his true strength!” Neil instantly blurted as he soon remembered something.

“That’s impossible. I don’t think that’s possible!” Ivan shook his head. “Why would he hide his true strength if he’s a marshal? Why didn’t he tell the Taylor family? If that’s the case, the old master would definitely be pleased with that. More importantly, Fiona and the others would’ve accepted him happily the moment he came back from his time in the army!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 719

Xena—who sat by the side—was deep in thought with a frown.

It was not long until her eyes soon brightened up and she exclaimed, “I get it! This guy must’ve been afraid of Fiona, Ben, and the others spending his money! That must be it! I heard that majors come back with a billion dollars as a reward from the government when they retire. If this guy’s a marshal, he might have a few billion with him, right?”

Ivan also immediately nodded. “That’s right, that’s right. This one’s plausible. This guy might’ve wanted to hide the fact that he has a lot of money.”

Ken, on the other hand, wore a tight smile on his face. “You guys are definitely imagining things. If Jack has several billion, I’ll write my name wrongly.”

“If that’s the case and you don’t think so, what do you think the reason is, Young Master Clark? Apart from being a marshal himself, I can’t think of any other reason for his unwillingness for Fiona, Ben, and the others to spend his money!” Xena confidently folded her arms across her chest; she believed she was right.

Ken smiled indifferently and commented, “I went through the idea with my cousin before, and we both feel that Jack couldn’t present the token despite claiming he’s a head commander. He’s no head commander, that’s for sure. He’s definitely not some team leader; he has to be just some regular, run- off-the-mill soldier.”

Xena cackled, followed by her rebuttal, “How’s that possible? Didn’t you say it yourself that Jack’s fighting ability is somewhat like a marshal’s? How can he be a normal soldier? Aren’t you contradicting your own words? You’re getting off-track here!”

“Yes, his fighting power was almost like a marshal’s. Even if he’s not a marshal, he must be considered one of the strongest among the majors!”

Ken smiled indifferently and commented, “What does it mean if he’s so powerful but is just a normal soldier? It means that he must’ve done something wrong during his time in the army, and he couldn’t keep his title.”

Ivan finally understood what Ken’s train of thoughts was soon after. “I get it now! He’d surely be scolded by Fiona and the others if he says that he has a title of either a marshal, or a major, or a head commander but couldn’t keep it. Moreover, it’d be rather shameful if others heard about this, right?”

Finally, Xena and Neil also caught on. It seemed that Jack was ashamed to tell this to the others, so he kept his actual strength and the true situation a secret.

Neil soon remembered something and said, “Hey, if Jack used to be some head commander or major, would the country still reward him now that he’s a veteran?”

“The country will,” came Ken’s reply. “I heard someone talking about this before. After all, people who were once majors still made huge contributions to the country. The country wouldn’t abandon people like Jack who was in the army for five years, and they’d surely give these people a reward or two.”

Ken paused before he added, “However, for people like Jack who’s made mistakes and were demoted to a normal soldier, the rewards might go from one billion to two or three hundred million. If the rewards were originally two to three billion, it might’ve been reduced to five hundred million. The money would’ve been decreased by quite a lot.”

As they talked among themselves, Xena then recalled something. “If Jack really was a marshal like the estimation of Young Master Clark, doesn’t that mean he has around five to six hundred million now?” It was as though she was hit with a Eureka moment; as though she had seen through everything. “No wonder… It’s no wonder that guy could claim he’s going to host a huge city-stirring birthday party for Selena. This guy had to have a few hundred million with him right now; four to five hundred million at least!”

“That makes so much sense! No wonder this guy dared to boast about hosting Selena’s birthday grandly. He’s confident because he has the means to do so!” came Ivan’s reply as he, too, saw the clearer picture. “F*ck… Jack had been so low-profile that we thought he only had several million with him. It genuinely didn’t occur to me he’d have four to five hundred million. If he really had that much, it should be enough to spend around one to two hundred million on the party!”

“Damn it! I was waiting to see him clowning himself. Well, isn’t that just great! We probably won’t get to see him failing miserably like we had thought. At this rate, he can host a grand birthday party after all!” fumed Neil. He poured himself some wine and downed it in one go.

“Come, the dishes have been served. Let’s chat while we drink.” Just like that, Ivan’s mood turned sour as well.

“I’m even angrier at the fact that we’ve spent several million to advertise the party for them, in hopes that everyone would turn up to see him embarrass himself silly.” Like Ivan, Ken also poured himself a

big glass of wine and drank it in one go. “Suddenly, everything falls into place for him,” he hissed, “while we’ve wasted so much money. F*ck! What did we get out of spending such a big amount of money? He can easily go ahead and carry out such a lavish birthday party. Didn’t we help him out and cut his costs? We’ve cut off several million for him!”

“Tch! I even borrowed some money from my friends and said that I’ll pay him back. I borrowed that money just to help fund the ads for this jerk!” Neil sighed and was helpless. His father had strict control over him and was afraid that he would cause trouble, thus Neil’s pocket money was reduced monthly.

“It’s not entirely useless. We still played him!” Ivan laughed and drank a mouthful of wine slowly before he added, “Regardless, he has no idea that he’s been poisoned. So what if the party stirs up the city? Isn’t everyone there to see his funeral? To see how he dies?”

“Young Master Taylor, we’re unhappy that we’ve spent money to advertise for him, but we’re more concerned that he’s not poisoned! That’ll be a huge trouble!” Ken was downright worried as he eyed Xena warily. “That’s why I rushed to ask Miss Xena if she really saw Jack drink the poison!”

Angered by the implication, Xena’s hand instinctively raised as she snapped, “Young Master Clark, how many times do I need to say this before you believe me? I, Xena Jackson, swear to the skies. If I didn’t see Jack drink the poison with my own eyes, I’ll get struck by lightning!”

Ken had no other choice than to believe that Xena did not lie to them when he heard what she said.

“Alright, we believe you.” Ken was quiet for some time before he spoke, “I was just very anxious, worried that Jack had bribed you and that you pretended to be with Young Master Taylor so that you can get intel about us. Seems like that’s not the case and all is fine.”

“How… How dare you doubt me like that?!” Xena’s chest heaved in anger when she heard this. She looked at Ken angrily and exploded, “I’m truly in love with Ivan. Don’t make assumptions all the time! I’ll get very angry if you say that again!”
