No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 651
Besides, his restaurant made losses every day, and he himself felt that he needed to shut it down soon. So long as jackie did not try to blackmail him of more than ten million dollars, everything would be fine and dandy!

“Alright, then. Just get out of here!”

jackie waved his hand and took out a White-Sand cigarette, lighting it slowly.

“Okay, okay. I’ll scram!”

The boss of the restaurant immediately darted out of the place as if he would die within the next second of remaining there.

“Big Bro, thank you so much. We wouldn’t know what to do if it weren’t for you!”

Tiger looked at jackie after the boss left, his eyes red. “And my wife would probably have been bullied by those vagrants if you hadn’t come over with me.”

Tiger was feeling extremely lucky—lucky that he had thought of jackie and managed to bring him here. Otherwise, he would not have been able to beat those guys.

Furthermore, that man called Brother Luca would probably have taken advantage of his wife.

“Just call me if you need anything!” jackie chuckled.

“Let’s go, Big Bro. Let’s go drink a few rounds!”

Tiger flashed a straightforward smile. “You just made someone give me more than nine hundred thousand dollars this time. I’ve yet to recover from the shock!”

“Don’t sweat it. Just go and open your business in peace. They won’t cause you any more trouble!”

jackie took a drag from his cigarette before he added, “On the contrary, I’m the one who’ll be causing them trouble tomorrow. I need to see if they’ve learned their lesson so I’m not going for a drink. I need to return home. It’s getting late.”

“All right then. Let’s drink sometime soon!” Tiger nodded, seeing jackie off as the latter drove away.

“Tiger, this Big Bro of yours is amazing! He’s not any regular veteran, is he?”

Tiger’s wife could not help but comment after jackie left. “His fighting prowess and aura aren’t like a regular person’s!”

“He saved the Goddess of War’s life before, and he’s pretty good friends with her. He wouldn’t be so fearless before the people from Kingston Hall otherwise!”

Tiger smiled. “I never expected that he would become such a man in five years. I heard that he was promoted to the rank of Head Commander. But to me, he’ll always be better than a God of War!”

“Shh!”

His wife immediately scanned their surroundings, fearful. “Don’t say such things. How can you spew such nonsense? Saying that he’s stronger than a God of War? What if a God of War heard you? They wouldn’t be happy, and they’re so terrifying. People practically worship the ground they stand upon. Your Bro is strong, but he can’t compare to a God of War!”

“All right. I get it. Let’s go. I don’t think we’ll be getting much business tonight. Let’s close up shop and go back home to see Dad and Mom and our son!

“We’ll wait until tomorrow when there aren’t any rascals disturbing us. I believe our business will start to pick up!” Tiger clenched his fist, speaking confidently.

…

jackie quickly drove back to the villa.

After he parked the car, he noticed a Volkswagen parked right beside him.

A small smile lit up jackie’s face as he studied the new car. It seemed that Ben had truly grown up. This was a good thing to him.

However, he also believed that Ben had suffered plenty of emotional trauma. jackie would not forgive what Ivan and Xena had done so easily.

He wanted to let them know that everything they had done today was incredibly and utterly foolish.

Chapter 652
“Daddy, Daddy. Come here. Look at this. See what I’ve got…”

Kylie ran over to jackie as soon as he entered the villa’s living room, squealing with that cute, angelic voice of hers.

jackie’s heart immediately melted at the sound of that voice and at the sight of those doe eyes.

He instantly crouched down to heft Kylie up, planting a kiss on her cheek. “Good job! My little girl’s got a sticker!”

“That’s right. The teacher said I was a good student!”

Kylie’s smile was bright and innocent, happiness laced into its curve.

“Oh? Of course, my daughter would be the smartest, most responsible kid in class!”

jackie carried Kylie up the stairs. “Right. Kylie, would you like a reward? Tell me. I’ll give you one!”

“Okay. Bring me and Mommy to the aquarium on Saturday!” Kylie asked, staring at jackie in anticipation after thinking about it for a moment.

“Sounds good. We’ll bring you there on Saturday!”

jackie only put Kylie down once they were on the upper floor.

He returned to his room. Only then did he notice that Selena had already returned home from work and was taking a shower.

On the bedside table, there was a poster.

Embarrassment clinched jackie when he noticed the poster. This was the advertisement that someone else had helped put up, no? It seemed that Selena already knew about the whole thing.

He sat down for a few minutes. Selena walked out of the bathroom, dressed in casual clothing. A hint of warmth graced her lips when she saw jackie. “You really want to send ripples across the entire city, don’t you now? How much money did you spend to advertise it so extensively? It seems like you wouldn’t have achieved such a result if you didn’t spend at least ten million dollars. Your mom will be worried about your finances. Again.”

jackie grinned in embarrassment. “My dear, I just want your birthday to be known throughout the entire city so that you’ll have some fine memories. However, I didn’t do the advertisements. I don’t like being so showy.”

Selena was surprised when she heard that. “No way. They would’ve had to spend a lot of money. The advertisements are everywhere. So much so that I’m embarrassed to go out. My colleagues are even discussing coming over during my birthday.”

Her brows furrowed after she pondered for a while. “Strange. Who would spend that much money to advertise the both of us if it’s not you? Isn’t this just a waste of money? What benefit would they receive?”

jackie could not help but give a wan smile looking at Selena’s beautifully arched brows. “Think about it, dear. Not many people know about this, and not many were around either when I made the declaration. Who do you think it is?”

Naturally, Selena, being the sharp woman she was, immediately reacted when jackie prompted her. “No way. Xena? But why would she do this? Especially when Ivan had just been sorely beaten up by us. Why would she do this with Ivan?”

“They still think that I’ve been poisoned. The poison is expected to manifest on your birthday, and they want to watch the show. Do you get it?” jackie spoke lightly as he chuckled.

Selena finally understood. “Right. They don’t know that you’ve been cured. Ivan—that son of a b*tch! He really wants everyone to watch you die on my birthday, eh? I never expected him to be so wicked!”

jackie nodded. “It’s good that they helped advertise the event though. We don’t have to do it ourselves anymore. The news will circulate throughout the entire city very quickly.”

Chapter 653
Selena did not know whether to laugh or cry. Ivan and Xena would probably stab themselves in the throat if they knew what jackie was thinking right now. Of course, they probably would not have advertised the event just like that if they had known that jackie cured himself of the poison.

“But this is just my birthday. No need to kick up such a fuss over this. That advertisement probably caused a real shock for everyone, claiming that the bash will be the ultimate talk of the town for years to come. They even made a countdown. My God, we’ll probably be the butt of plenty of jokes if the party is too…normal!” Selena voiced her concerns after she thought about it.

“It’s not just expensive food that will make the event grand.”

jackie wrapped his arms around Selena, giving her a warm smile. “Don’t worry. Just relax. Trust me to handle this!”

“Okay!”

Selena pursed her flushed lips, then spoke bashfully. “Go and take a shower. We’ll go down to eat after that. They’re making the prawn that you like.”

“You really know me well. You already know what I like to eat only after a month of my return!”

jackie studied the beauty before him. He could not help but place a gentle kiss on her lips.

“Daddy kissed Mommy. I’m going to have younger brothers and sisters!”

They were not aware that Kylie had slyly opened the door and poked her head inside the room. She clapped a hand over her mouth and chuckled when she saw this.

“Ah!”

Selena jumped from shock and immediately shoved jackie away, rolling her eyes at him flirtatiously. “Seriously? Why didn’t you close the door?”

jackie gave her a bitter smile. “I never thought that our little girl would come in at this time.”

“Let’s go down, Kylie. Don’t speak such nonsense, too! You’re more than enough for us.”

Selena walked over and carried Kylie, ready to head down with her cheeks colored red.

“You can’t do this, dear. We need another child. Kylie will be lonely otherwise!” jackie quickly reminded her after he realized it. As for Selena, who had already walked to the door, the tips of ears were already flaring pink.

He did not expect her to cast a bashful glance over her shoulder after she stepped out of the room. She gave him a look that was not unlike a teenage girl experiencing her first love. “Fine. If you can cause a stir throughout the city during my birthday and make me feel like I’m the happiest woman in the world, I’ll agree to have another child. But that won’t happen if you don’t make me feel super, super touched, and happy!”

“I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

jackie burst into laughter. He knew that Selena was already satisfied with their lives now. She was teasing him on purpose.

After he finished showering and eating, jackie hugged Selena to sleep.

…

At this moment, a group of vagrants arrived before the headquarters of the Green Sky Hall. “Sir, you have to help us! Brother–brother Luca has been beaten up, so badly that his balls have been destroyed and his face rearranged. He’s in the hospital now!” a man threw himself at the feet of a middle-aged man, pleading pitifully.

The corners of the middle-aged man’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard that. “F*ck. What’s with all the commotion today? Spit it out! What happened?”

Chapter 654
The leader of the Green Sky Hall spiraled further into a bad mood.

That afternoon, he found out that Flynn had been hospitalized after being beaten up. One of his legs had been broken so badly, it needed to be amputated.

He was still contemplating what he should do tomorrow—if he should just let the whole incident slide for that bodyguard of the Drake family. He did not expect his subordinates to come crawling to him again.

“Tell me what happened. Why was Luca beaten?” the middle-aged man spoke slowly after having remained silent for a few seconds.

The other man finally narrated everything that had happened. After he finished, he said, “I don’t know if that fellow was making empty threats, but he said he’d bring trouble to the Green Sky Hall tomorrow morning! He wants us to compensate every bit of that fifty thousand dollars!”

“F*ck!”

The middle-aged man was extremely angry. He slammed his hand on the table beside him and with a sharp crack, the table splintered into pieces.

He stood up and spoke furiously, “Does he think that the people of Green Sky Hall are such pushovers? We’ve already given nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. What more does he want? Jeez. That bodyguard from this morning knows the Goddess of War, and he’s a son-in-law of the second-class aristocrats, the Taylor family. Who’s this b*stard now? Don’t tell me he knows Gods of War too!”

The man kneeling on the floor furrowed his brows. “We’re not sure, but at any rate, he quickly fought us once he came. He probably doesn’t know any Gods of War!”

“Alright. Leave for now. I’d like to see if he comes tomorrow!”

The middle-aged man quickly took a few thousands worth of cash and thrust it to his subordinate. “Buy a few gifts and visit Luca tomorrow. Don’t worry about everything here. We’ll see if that punk shows his face. If he does, I’ll be sure to break both his legs!”

“Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!”

The men nodded and hurriedly left.

After they left, an elder that was sitting to the side finally stood up. “Master, what should we do? Will those two fellows actually show up? I think they probably just made the threat to scare our men.”

The leader of the Green Sky Hall was called Hector Zaborowski. He went silent for a few moments before speaking, “For the fellow who wants fifty thousand dollars, we’ll take his word with a grain of salt. We’ll just kill him if he comes! He was only able to defeat more than a dozen men because Luca and the others were never strong to begin with. With the two of us old pros, we’ll definitely beat him to death!”

Hector paused for a while before continuing with a leisurely tone, “But the man called jackie won’t be as easy to handle, I’m afraid. The Gods of War will probably give us trouble if we off-ed him just like that. On the other hand, the Green Sky Hall would lose its reputation if we just answered to his every beck and call like a lapdog!”

The elder nodded. He thought about it for a while before adding, “Why don’t we do this, Master? We’ll give him a test. It’ll also be a way for us to lose face gracefully. It won’t be embarrassing if word gets out, right? Or we could test his strength. He might serve us some purpose if he’s truly strong!”

Hector’s eyes brightened as he heard the suggestion. He smacked the side of his head. “You’re right! Why didn’t I think of that?” he exclaimed. “I heard that the fellow was a Head Commander. He’s definitely strong. More importantly, he has contacts. It’d be fantastic if he used them for the sake of the Green Sky Hall!”

“By the way, I’ve noticed quite a few leaflets circulating the city today, advertising the birthday party this fellow is going to throw for his wife. He even claims that it’ll cause a stir throughout the entire city.”

The elder quickly thought of something else.

Chapter 655
“Really? He must have spent a lot of money. Does he really have that much money to splash around? Or perhaps the old master of the Taylor family will be giving him money to celebrate Young Miss Taylor’s birthday?”

Hector frowned. “Probably not. He said that it’d be shameful to use the Taylor family’s money. Besides, he’s just a son-in-law. No one would be so nice to someone like that.”

“Mmhmm. Let’s just prepare for tomorrow first!”

The elder spoke after a moment of contemplation. “If he comes alone and acts rudely, it’s possible for us to kill him off. No one can pinpoint the murder to us if the body disappears. If we say that he never came, the Gods of War wouldn’t just destroy the entire gang for his sake.”

Hector nodded. “You’re right. That man saved the Goddess of War, but he was probably a doctor in the army so it was his duty to save lives. Besides, the Goddess of War boosted his reputation aplenty during Old Man Taylor’s birthday party. She doesn’t owe him anything anymore. If we do kill him and pretend to not know anything, the most the Goddess of War will probably do is to pretend to interrogate us!”

The next day, a group of people waited in the huge garden right after the Green Sky Hall’s entrance. They wanted to see if the bodyguard from the Drake family and the man who bellowed about coming to claim the 50 thousand dollars would actually come.

jackie parked the car at the entrance. He walked straight in when he noticed that there was no one there.

Two muscled bodies immediately blocked him after he took a few steps into the garden.

One of them spoke in a rumbly, intimidating voice, “Are you the son-in-law from the Taylor family?”

jackie nodded. “Get out of my way. I came here to talk with your master. I don’t want to waste my time with you!”

“Quite crude, eh?”

The other man clenched his fists. “You can’t just see the master of the Green Sky Hall whenever you like,” he said viciously. “You’ll have to follow our procedures if you want to see him. Defeat the both of us first. Only then, do you have the right to see him!”

Hector and a number of the Green Sky Hall’s men watched the exchange from a distance. Quite a few of them had frosty smiles creeping up their lips. They wanted to see how strong this son-in-law from the Taylor family was.

After all, these two were not just any muscle-bound fighters, but they were two excellent fighters from the Green Sky Hall. Even some Head Commanders could not match up to them. Furthermore, it was two against one.

That was why they thought it would be difficult for jackie to take them on if he did not have the strength of a major, in the least.

jackie flashed a cold smile, not giving a sh*t about them. “What a load of rules and regulations! Since I have to follow them, let’s go!”

After he said that, he gently slapped a hand on the other man’s stomach, the movement a blur.

It looked like a casual slap. Yet, that huge man was flung backward, his limbs flailing. He flew for a few good meters before he finally crashed onto the ground. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his expression was contorted.

“Ah!”

The other man was already throwing a punch at jackie. jackie was fast—terrifyingly fast. However, during the exact moment he attacked the other man, a gigantic fist came straight towards his head.

Chapter 656
When he saw his opponent making a move, jackie quickly threw his fist forward. It suddenly collided against the other man’s fist.

For a moment, there was only silence that followed a dull thud. Then, that big man flew backward as well, just like his comrade.

He flew quite a few steps back, his feet drawing beneath him a long, thin line on the ground before finally coming to a forceful halt. The big man gurgled and spat, fresh blood dribbling out of the corner of his mouth.

“Amazing!”

Two big men walked over. They clapped their fists into their palms simultaneously after looking at jackie, bowing slightly. Then, they parted to the side.

At this moment, Hector also stood up, clapping his hands while walking forward with the people gathered behind him. “You’re pretty good. I never expected that the son-in-law from the Taylor family would be so frighteningly powerful!”

“Master Zaborowski. I heard that your first name is Hector, right?”

jackie laughed and said, “It seems like you had planned to cower me into submission first, eh?”

The corners of Hector’s mouth twitched slightly. He stopped a few meters away from jackie. “I was merely being courteous. What do you mean I was trying to cower you into submission? My subordinates have long heard of your fighting prowess, so they wished to test their strength against yours. Now, all of you are comrades forged through the way of the fist!”

jackie laughed aloud again. “What a way to make friends. Thank goodness I’m strong enough. I would’ve probably been beaten to death if I were a terrible fighter. I have to pay compliments to your way of thinking, though—testing me first to judge the situation. Not bad!”

When they heard this, Hector and the elder beside him exchanged a glance. Both of their expressions had soured. This guy was far cleverer than their expectations, seeing right through their scheme in such a short time.

“No way. You’ve misunderstood us, kiddo. Our subordinates really just wanted to spar with you!” the old man stood up and told jackie, smiling.

“Really? But they both told me that according to the rules here, I don’t have the right to talk to their master unless I defeated them.”

jackie sneered inwardly, casting a glance toward the two men from earlier.

“Ahem. We just wanted to spar with you, dear sir. We only said that because we were worried you’d refuse us!” they quickly reacted and explained, chuckling. The two men were not idiots.

“All right. Speak, Mr. jackie. What business do you have with us here today?”

Hector maintained his smile as he looked at jackie, giving off the aura of someone engulfed in a fresh spring breeze.

jackie smiled. It seemed that Hector was a wolf clothed in sheepskin. Although he had a serene, kindly expression now, he must have stained his hands aplenty behind the scenes.

He spoke immediately, “Of course, I came here for business so I won’t dilly-dally any longer. You all probably know this as well—that I was the one who beat up the person who pretended to be blind yesterday. They secretly took pictures of a lot of ladies! I want to settle this matter today!”

Chapter 657
Hector still plastered a smile on his face when he heard that. “I thought it was something serious. I heard that the memory card had already been destroyed by you. So, isn’t the matter settled already? What more do you want from us?”

He paused for a while here, before continuing with a smile, “I know. You want some money from us to compensate for your losses, right? It’s normal for one to think like that. I completely understand! Tell me, how much do you want?”

jackie replied immediately, “I don’t want money for this issue. My request is simple. Don’t repeat this. Destroy any backups you have. Understand?”

The corners of Hector’s mouth twitched. “Are you threatening me?”

“I won’t investigate any further. I’m sure that you know full well I’m threatening all of you here. If you don’t destroy the backups and continue doing all this in the future, I’ll make sure that the Green Sky Hall would be completely obliterated if I catch wind of it!”

jackie chuckled. He was not frightened in the least, standing there with his shoulders squared and radiating an aura of utter solemnity.

“What a mouth you have on you! I’ll teach you a lesson!”

An old woman stood up. “Care for a round with me?”

Wrinkles were etched all over the old woman’s face, but there was a perceptible sharpness in her eyes. She looked to be in very good spirits.

jackie sensed that this old woman was probably a lot stronger than the two men from earlier.

However, he flashed a wan smile toward the old woman who was leaning against a cane. “No way. You look like you’re seventy or eighty years old. Won’t I be a laughingstock if I hurt you? They’ll say that I bullied a granny.”

“Don’t worry. We definitely won’t say that you bullied her!” one of the men from earlier laughed aloud.

“That’s right. She’s one of our best fighters. No average person can match her strength. You? Bully her? It’d be a miracle if you can last ten hits from her!” another middle-aged woman also laughed from the side. jackie’s words made her feel as though she had just heard the joke of the century,

“Don’t worry, sonny boy. I won’t hold a grudge against you if you do have the strength to beat me to death.”

After the old lady said that, she turned toward Hector who was behind her. “Master Hector, take this as a personal grudge between me and him. It’ll be my bad luck if he kills me. There won’t be any grudges between him and the Green Sky Hall. Is that possible?”

“All right!” Hector agreed with her, nodding after pondering the proposal for a few seconds.

From the looks of it, the old woman was going to fight with a killing intent, which was why she would probably use her full strength for the fight. She would not have told Hector all of that otherwise.

Meanwhile, Hector’s goal was the same. If she could not kill jackie because he was too strong for her, he would treat it as a mere spar and a personal grudge. It would not have anything to do with the Green Sky Hall.

However, if jackie was not strong enough and was killed by her, she would probably destroy every bit of evidence that he had been here, leaving no trace for anyone to find him.

“All right. You can fight me with peace of mind now, boy. Let’s see if you have the strength to kill this old granny here!”

The old woman clutched onto her cane, the light in her eyes dimming dangerously.

Chapter 658
“I know you want to kill me, but I won’t let you!”

jackie flashed a cold smile when he heard that. If this old woman from the Green Sky Hall did not act too brashly, he would not destroy her straight away either.

After all, Kingston Hall was behind the Green Sky Hall.

It was not because jackie was afraid of Kingston Hall. Tanya, Yvonne, and Sharon knew about the incident today. It would create a huge hoo-hah if Kingston Hall was completely destroyed. Many people would probably doubt his identity.

He would not be able to live the peaceful life that he had now.

After all, Kingston Hall was the most powerful underground organization in Eastfield and the strongest among the gangs. They did not fear the presence of the Drake family at all.

“Really? You’re speaking as though you can kill when and wherever you please!”

The old woman felt like she was being belittled. She was just old, but her strength was unmatched by a regular person.

She took one step forward. The cane in her hands suddenly whipped toward jackie in a vicious arc; a frosty, murderous intent filled her eyes.

It looked like a normal ebony cane, but at that moment, it resembled a sharpened sword, slashing forward at a blinding speed. With that sudden thrust, jackie did not have an inkling of doubt that a normal person would already have a hole carved into their chest.

That was because jackie had heard the subtle echo of a supersonic boom from that thrust.

“So fast!”

jackie was shocked. He really did not expect the old woman to be so dexterous. If he had not gone to war, he would have been completely terrified by her.

“Hmph. Scared now, aren’t you? Is your life flashing before your eyes? Don’t underestimate me just because I’m old. Those two huge goons from before can’t match my strength!”

Delight crept over the old woman’s expression when she heard jackie gasp.

The tip of her cane was extremely sharp. jackie did not have the time to dodge.

Yet at this moment, jackie dazzled her eyes. His entire body seemed to meld into the shadows as he sidestepped her attack in a flash. He appeared right beside her.

“No way. You dodged that?”

The old woman took a sharp breath. She was utterly stupefied. She suspected that she must have imagined it.

She knew that jackie was strong after having watched him defeat those two men without breaking a sweat. However, she never expected him to be far stronger than she had imagined.

She seriously suspected that only a King of War could have that kind of speed, based on the fighting strength within the military ranks.

jackie dodged the attack. The old woman’s cane pierced straight into a wooden pillar behind him.

This was a small pavilion that was held up by four wooden pillars.

No one expected that such a huge pillar would have a hole carved straight through it. The cane had struck through the entire pillar.

“That cane is made out of fantastic stuff!”

jackie gave a wan smile when he saw that.

“Ah!”

The old woman was so frustrated that she missed her mark. She felt embarrassed.

She released a huff and jerked her arm. That wooden pillar crumbled, allowing her to loosen her cane from the hole.

The pillar held for three seconds, then it toppled onto the ground in a resounding crash. The entire pavilion went down with it.

At that moment, the old woman attacked jackie again.

However, jackie did not dodge her attack this time. Instead, he grabbed the cane with a quick sweep of his arm, and a powerful force rippled along the length of the cane.

The old woman did not reveal a sliver of panic when jackie caught her cane. She still believed that jackie was not as strong as her.

Chapter 659
Nonetheless, she never thought that the force from that causal sweep of jackie’s arm could be so deadly and powerful that it ruptured the end of the cane she was holding. The incredible force streaked through her hand, causing it to tremble uncontrollably as she struggled to hold the cane.

“Ah!”

The old woman stumbled back a few steps and her right hand was trembling unruly. She gazed at jackie with her eyes full of terror and respect at the same time.

jackie’s strength was impressive and his speed was as fast as lightning. She even sensed that jackie was having fun with her and that he must not have shown his true strength—the powerful strength that was hidden perfectly.

“Hmmm? What now? Giving up?” jackie flashed her a small smile and said in an indifferent voice.

“Jesus Christ! Isn’t this kiddo too powerful? He’s even able to take away Elder Castellano’s cane!” a spectator from the crowd could not hold back a loud gasp. The battle between jackie and Elder Castellano was truly eye-opening.

“No way! Don’t tell me Elder Castellano can’t defeat this retired soldier?”

Some of them had their foreheads pressed together as they expressed their doubts.

After all, they had never seen Elder Castellano defeated in a fight before.

The corners of the old woman’s mouth twitched involuntarily. At the same time, she was hesitant to admit defeat. If she surrendered now, she would surely become a laughingstock in front of the Green Sky Hall. If she tried again—harder and fiercer—there might be hope for her to win.

“Kiddo, it’s either you or me in the coffin today!”

With her teeth gritted tightly, the old woman charged toward jackie again at lighting speed, switching positions several times in the hopes of trying to confuse and get close to jackie.

“Your cane’s in my hand. I must say, you’re quite bold to come at me without any weapon!”

jackie sneered frostily. With the cane in his hand, he swung it at his opponent before she could even come near him as though he was using the cane to beat a dog. The cane hit the old woman’s arms and thighs several times in a row.

“Ouch! Ow!” The old woman jumped from the pain as if she were a monkey in the circus. Her body curled slightly.

“You win! You win!”

Finally, she yelled her defeat. Every movement sent ripples of pain through the old woman’s arms and legs.

jackie stopped at last. The old granny scanned her body and there were many fresh and insidious bruises caused by the strokes of the cane. Although jackie did not use too much force, and all the injuries were merely bruises on the surface, the pain was searing and indescribable.

“Now, do you think I’m able to kill you?” jackie stared at the old woman without any remorse but a faint yet callous smile on his face.

The old woman felt even more embarrassed. For the first time in her life, she felt that she had been beaten until she could not even counterattack. She lifted her head, staring straight into jackie’s eyes, her voice cold, “Give me back my cane! I know I’m not your opponent at all. Kiddo, you’re young yet powerful!”

“I don’t think it has anything to do with age!” jackie chortled as he threw the cane away casually. It landed right in front of the other party.

“Ahem! Mr. jackie, a moment ago you mentioned that as long as we deleted all the backups and we ceased this business immediately, you’d leave us alone?”

Hector, blending in with the other spectators on the side, was stunned by jackie’s strength. jackie’s combat prowess was truly astounding! Now, Hector had no other choice, but to put on the warmest smile on his face so that he could look amiable in front of jackie.

“Yup, that’s right!” jackie bobbed his head.

“Alright! I admire you a lot. It’s a deal then!”

Hector immediately agreed to his demand. There was no other way after all. Besides, he did not want to make a big fuss about it. Although there was Kingston Hall behind them, if jackie was truly pissed off, it was highly possible that today would be their last day on the earth.

Moreover, jackie was not just a ‘good’ fighter, but the finest and the greatest. Even if Kingston Hall knew about the episode, they would not dare to provoke him, too, given that his fighting prowess was that outstanding. Even if Kingston Hall were to win in a fight with jackie, the losses would be acute and unbearable.

“Hmmm. Well. That’s all, then!”

jackie smiled lightly and then continued, “Now, let’s talk about another thing!”

Chapter 660
Hector had assumed that it would be enough if he agreed to jackie’s demand and that the other man would think about leaving them alone.

He truly never expected jackie to bring up another issue.

jackie observed the people around him and noticed that the men that had followed Brother Luca from yesterday were not around. He surmised that they had gone to the hospital to see their injured comrade.

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that you want money, after all?” Hector spoke with a cold smile.

“I really am going to ask for money!”

jackie chuckled. “Your men owe me fifty thousand dollars. They couldn’t even cough up a million yesterday. How shameful!”

“You beat up Brother Luca, too?”

Hector’s expression darkened. He nearly fainted from anger. He had been thinking that he was truly unlucky today, to have met such a tough, fearless warrior. He planned to properly torture the fellow who had bullied Luca, ensuring his death.

He never thought that jackie was the same man who Brother Luca and the others had provoked. When it rained, it truly poured. They provoked the same fellow on both occasions.

“That’s right. Isn’t it a coincidence?”

jackie flashed a cold smile. “Not only do you have to give me fifty thousand dollars, but you’ll also have to order your subordinates to not give my brother any trouble. I won’t settle for cash otherwise!”

“Aren’t you pushing it, jackie?”

Hector flashed a bitter smile. “You wanted a million dollars, so my subordinates scrounged everything they had in their pockets to pay you nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Do you really have to ask for the remaining fifty thousand?”

jackie’s expression was nonchalant. “What a stupid question. Just pay the amount that we agreed upon.”

“Fine. I’ll just take this as a stroke of misfortune!”

Hector’s expression hardened and he was displeased, but he nodded at the middle-aged woman beside him anyway.

The woman walked towards jackie and took out her phone. “Give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer the money immediately.”

“Now we’re talking!”

jackie did not hesitate to give his account number to her.

What he did not expect was immediately receiving a notification from the bank after he gave his account number.

“So fast?” jackie frowned and looked at her.

“I haven’t even keyed in the amount yet!”

The woman stared at him, perplexed.

jackie opened the message and was taken aback. After he read it, he realized that it was a bank transfer of more than 170 billion dollars.

“Oh, it was from someone else!”

jackie flashed a pained smile, finally responding. He had asked Skyler to help get rid of the Xenos family in Sky City and to sell off the assets and shares that they had. They donated some of the profit and divided the rest between themselves, 50-50.

He never thought that there would be so much money left even after dividing the portion.

“Oh!”

The middle-aged woman furrowed her brow, suspicion twinging in her. It could not be a coincidence, right? Unless this guy was merely playing dumb?

However, it had nothing to do with her. She keyed in the PIN and quickly transferred 50 thousand dollars to jackie’s account.

At this moment, jackie’s phone rang.

Chapter 661
jackie switched his focus to his phone. ‘Skyler Celestino’ appeared on the screen.

“Hey, Skyler Celestino!” jackie uttered casually after picking up the call.

“yeah! According to the ratio you told me, you’ll be getting a hundred and seventy billion dollars for your part. You should’ve received it by now, right? What a steal. Not only did I fix my itch to fight, but I also made a big profit out of it.” Skyler’s manly voice rang from the phone.

“Yup, I got the money. I’ve got some errands to run, so I’ll hang up now!” jackie ended the call in the next second.

The woman before him was standing nearby, and Skyler’s voice was not particularly soft on the other end of the call as well. jackie was not sure if the other party had heard any part of the conversation.
