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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I’ve never seen him before either. I think he’s an aristocrat from Lone City. Don’t mind him. He looks down on everyone just because he has some money. He’d probably be scared out of his wits once he knows who we are!” Tanya chuckled, evidently not giving two hoots about Flynn.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A rich man like him only feared meeting someone who did not fear death. He was powerful, but as the saying goes, a beggar can never be bankrupt. If someone like that killed you, you would be the only loser around even if he eventually killed himself. After all, he was the young master of a second-class aristocratic family. He had a bright and beautiful future before him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After a while, he came before Ken Clark.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His cousin-brother had been extremely unfortunate. Not only did he provoke someone important, but he also provoked the daughter of the Drakes. He was practically signing his own death certificate. He would not be bothered to lift a single finger even if Tanya decided to have him killed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yvonne and Tanya briefly exchanged glares and chuckled mysteriously.

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

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

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

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

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

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

However, little did they know…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chapter 413
The corners of Tanya’s mouth slid upward. Her smile was beautiful and adorable! Since the arrival of the two belles, the customers from the other tables could not help but peep over their side. Some of them felt nothing but envious of jackie, for having the opportunity to drink with two charming women. It would be a great pleasure in life to have two beauties drinking with them! Besides, if the two belles were drunk, jackie might even have the chance to… Just the thought of it made their body cells, scream and soar excitedly!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chapter 414
“Don’t worry. I believe in myself! The person who can get me drunk hasn’t been born yet!” jackie responded, with a gentle and soft smile on his face.

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

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

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

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