Chapter 1101
“Really? That’s great!”

Selena grinned and added, “You have to find the right time to go out, okay? After all, it won’t be easy for them to find you since they can’t follow you. This way, they won’t know where you’re heading!”

“Of course not. I’ll give them a signal to make them think that I’m going to the branch family! I’ll wait for them to head over to the branch families, and then I won’t turn up there at all!”

jackie flashed a wicked grin. “We’ll make them go on a merry hunt. There are so many branch families. They’ll be wasting plenty of time while they’re going on the search!”

“That’s a great idea. Hah!”

Ben laughed after he heard all this.

However, he quickly frowned and said, “But how are you going to hint them? You can’t just run up to them and announce it just like that. They’d never believe you that way!”

“Of course we can’t do that!”

jackie smiled. “Your sister and I will put on a show before Hudson. I noticed that he’s always sticking around the Third Elder and Lily and he’s definitely up to no good. He’ll definitely report any rumors he hears to the Third Elder or Lily!”

“All right. So that matter is settled! You have to leave in secret, okay? Only then will the plan work!”

Selena nodded her head.

The next morning, jackie heard a piece of good news—the Third Elder had retreated.

“That’s great. The Third Elder has retreated. It’ll be even safer for you when you go out, Dear! Any regular person is no match for you!”

Selena heaved an internal sigh of relief when she heard the news. After all, jackie feared the Third Elder the most at present. The Third Elder and the First Elder were fighters at the advanced stage of the true god status, and the strongest fighter in the White family was Nash, who was at the peak of the true god status.

Now, with Nash’s physical condition in this state, the only person who could match the Third Elder was the First Elder.

“It’s definitely good news!”

jackie gave a bitter smile. “But it might not necessarily be a good thing,” he said. “If the Third Elder is choosing to retreat at this moment, it means that he has a plan. Right now, only the First Elder can beat him. The Third Elder must be trying to break through the peak of the true god status in one shot! It’ll be troublesome if he actually achieves that!”

“No way. So you’re saying that he wants to rebel?”

Selena’s expression darkened when she heard this. “He still wants to be the head of the house even though he’s so old?”

“Of course he does!”

jackie’s lips curved into a frosty smile. “I overheard two members of the White family talking after they had just returned from the search the other day. They were probably in charge of helping to find Lance. After listening to their conversation, I think that the Third Elder does not believe that Lance will return alive!”

Chapter 1102
“No way. That old fox is so dangerous!”

Selena was shocked after she heard that. “He’s already so old. I never thought that he’d want to take the head of the house position for himself!”

“Who knows what he’s thinking? He wants to kill me and Lance, and now he’s even retreated. It’d be odd if his intention was not to be the head of the house!”

jackie gave a cold smile. “However, I heard that it’s not been that long since he achieved the advanced level of true god status. That’s why it won’t be easy for him to experience a breakthrough. It’ll take a long time. That’s why I must quickly find the antidote for my father!”

As the two talked, they actually saw Hudson walking over.

jackie and Selena exchanged a glance and smiled. They immediately understood each other’s thoughts.

“How many branch families are there, dear? What are you going there for? Are you going to every single one of them?”

Selena asked jackie on purpose once Hudson walked a little closer.

jackie bobbed his head. “Mmhmm. I’m going to see all of them. I’m not very familiar with them yet. I’ll also take a look and see if there are any masters among them. If so, we should converse more with the members of the branch families!”

“When are you leaving?”

Selena asked again.

“Tomorrow! Since I’ve nothing much to do for now.”

jackie replied, smiling.

Hudson, who had just happened to pass by, scrunched his brows together when he heard of the two’s dialogue. Delight leaped in his heart, and he quickly scurried away to find Lily.

“First Madam, I’ve got some big news!”

Hudson could not help but burst into laughter after he came to Lily’s residence.

After all, Nash was dying, and Lance was missing. No one had found any traces of him even after so long, so he was probably eaten by monsters already.

Furthermore, if jackie was truly killed by Lily, he would be the only true master in the White family. This meant that he still had a chance to become the heir to the White family. He might even become the master.

When he thought of this, he was extremely elated.

“Big news? Heh. How big could it be?”

Lily chuckled after she heard that. “Tell me. I’ve not heard of any good news ever since jackie got here! I truly hope you are here with some good news!”

After she said that, Lily thought of something, and her eyes immediately brightened. “Don’t tell me that Lance is back?” she guessed. “Has he been found?”

Hudson was speechless for a while. He shook his head slowly. “That’s not the case, First Madam. But there’s some other good news!”

“All right. Just spit it out. It probably won’t be much of a good news, since it’s not about Lance!”

Lily released a long sigh, disappointment flashing in her eyes.

“First Madam, I think this piece of news is worth two stalks of first-grade premium spirit grass!”

Hudson looked at Lily, grinning, trying to hint at the news.

Chapter 1103
“Two stalks?”

Lily’s expression darkened. “You must be joking. I might believe you if you said that it’s worth a first-grade intermediate spirit grass. You’re telling me it’s worth first-grade premium spirit grass—and two stalks, at that! Do you realize the sheer value of that?”

“No, no. It’s definitely worth two stalks of first-grade premium spirit grass. Trust me!”

Hudson tilted his head.

“No way. Two stalks of first-grade intermediate spirit grass, at most!”

Lily was also a stubborn person. She folded her arms over her chest, her features twisted into a flippant expression.

“All right. I take it that you don’t want to grab an opportunity to kill jackie. All right then!”

Frostiness tinged the corners of Hudson’s lips. He wheeled around and stalked out.

He was well aware that aside from wanting her son to come back alive, Lily desperately wanted to kill jackie.

He did not believe that Lily would be able to resist that idea.

“Wait!”

Lily immediately called out to Hudson when she heard that it was an opportunity to kill jackie.

She flipped a palm and took two stalks of first-grade premium spirit grass, thrusting it toward Hudson. “Tell me. What news do you have?”

Hudson swiped the spirit grass away and grinned. “You truly are generous, First Madam,” he said. “In all honesty, jackie is digging a grave for himself! I overheard him and his wife talking just now. He said that he was going to the branch families tomorrow to meet them!”

“The branch families? What on earth would he want to go to the branch families for?”

Lily’s eyes brightened when she heard that. “Fantastic. This is indeed good news. That brat is actually leaving the White family residence. He’s truly digging a grave for himself. This is a golden opportunity to kill him!”

“That’s right. He said that he wanted to get to know more of the branch family members and survey the masters among them so that he can contact them more easily!”

Hudson smiled. “I think that punk knows that plenty of members from the main family look down on him because he’s from the mortal realm. So he wants to curry favor with the branch family members and get their recognition instead.”

“That’s probably it!”

Lily nodded her head. “He’s leaving tomorrow, right? I’ll assign two guards to keep watch at the bottom of the mountain tomorrow. They’ll inform me immediately once he leaves. Then I’ll send more people to kill him!”

“Right. This is a serious opportunity to kill him. We can’t miss it. That’s why we can’t afford any slip-ups,” Hudson immediately replied. “He’s a pretty strong fighter, and he has good talent—who knew that he would be a second-grade intermediate fighter. That’s why we should probably get those who are at the peak of the true god status to kill him. If we can’t muster that manpower, we must at least get people at the beginning stage of the true god status after him!”

Lily frowned when she heard this. “Actually, the best man for the job is the Third Elder. He would guarantee us results. But he just had to retreat. We have to find someone else to kill that brat!”

“Mmhmm. And we must find someone we can trust. Before, it’d be fine to kill him because he was not the heir, but it’s different now that he’s the heir. That’s why we must find someone trustworthy and dependable. Someone who won’t reveal their identity, and someone who won’t let that brat escape!”

Since Hudson wanted to become the heir, he willingly helped Lily in her schemes!

“What about this? I’ll look for two fighters who are at the beginning stage of the true god status. That should be enough. We’ll just kill him and those friends of his if he brings them along. We won’t give them a chance to escape!”

Lily decided after thinking for a while.

Chapter 1104
Lily quickly went to look for two members of the Lagorio family after considering the situation.

These two were from the Lagorio family, but they were Patronums in the White family, who had always relied heavily on them.

They had the Lagorio surname, but because of the relationship between the First Madam and Nash and how the White family treated them nicely, they worked hard for the White family, putting effort into whatever they did.

“What? You’re telling us to follow Young Master jackie and kill him?”

The two Patronums could not help but exclaim once they knew why Lily had come to them.

They had never imagined that she would assign them to such a task.

“What’s wrong with it? Don’t tell me that you have a problem? You both are fighters who are at the beginning stage of the true god realm. Surely it won’t be difficult to kill jackie.”

Lily was taken aback for a while, then she spoke with a cold smile hanging on her lips.

“We didn’t mean it like that!”

The young woman among them scrunched her brows together. “First Madam, even if Young Master jackie snatched the position that your son should have taken, we shouldn’t kill him over this, right? After all, he is the master’s son. The master is already in such a state, and Young Master Lance is…”

A shadow immediately fell over Lily’s face. “What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me that my son will never come back? That he’s dead?”

“Don’t misunderstand me, First Madam. We didn’t mean that. But we don’t know if Lance is alive or not, and the master is in such a poor state. Young Master jackie has strong talent, and he’s the master’s son. I think it’s fine if he becomes head of the house! We can’t have someone unsuitable sitting in that position, right? Hudson isn’t too bad, but he’s no match for jackie!”

Yolanda, the young Patronum, finally managed to wrangle her thoughts out after pondering for a while.

“Are you betraying your own for another now, Yolanda? Don’t forget that it was me who brought you over to the White family. You were weak then, and no one cared about you in the Lagorio family. But you advanced so much after you came here, and your fighting skills grew rapidly. Besides, it was I who fought for the Patronum position on your behalf. And now you want to help jackie?”

Lily’s expression darkened, as though a storm were brewing across her brows. “I gave this task to the both of you because I trusted you. I never thought that you would say something like that to me, Yolanda Lagorio!”

“Don’t worry, First Madam. We are from the Lagorio family. We will listen to whatever you say!”

Yolanda thought for a while before adding, “I just think that it would be a shame if a master like jackie were to die just like that. And I’m afraid that there won’t be a successor to the White family. What if Young Master Lance doesn’t return? What do we do then?”

“First of all, I believe that my son will come back,” Lily replied, huffing. “Secondly, even if my son doesn’t come back, we can’t let an illegitimate child like jackie become the head of the house—and he’s a live-in son-in-law, to boot! We’ll become a laughing stock if word of this gets out to other families. Understand?”

Here, Lily paused for a while before continuing, “At any rate, be here tomorrow morning. Follow jackie once he sets out for the branch families, then kill him once you’re some distance away from the White family residences. Kill all his friends if they’re with him. Got it?”

“Don’t worry, First Madam. We will carry out your commands without fail!”

The other Patronum, a young man, gave a wan smile and swore to Lily.

“Good. Keep this a secret. Got it?”

Lily nodded her head and said.

Chapter 1105
Yolanda heaved an internal sigh, but she had no choice but to nod her head and agree to it.

However, she did not expect her partner to quickly flash another smile at the First Madam, “Shouldn’t you give us some spirited grass, First Madam? After all, we can’t carry out such a big assignment for nothing. If we advance to the intermediate stage of the true god realm, we’ll be able to carry out your orders even better!”

“You’re really honey-tongued, aren’t you!”

Lily rolled her eyes and took out two stalks of first-grade premium spirit grass. “I’ll give you both one stalk each,” she said. “Come find me here once you’re done and I’ll have more waiting for you!”

“Thank you, First Madam!”

The two immediately did fist-to-palm salutes after they took the spirit grass.

Soon enough, the two exited Lily’s residence.

“It’s true that jackie has good talent, Yolanda, and that it would be a shame if he died!”

After they walked some distance away, the man spoke to Yolanda, “But why think too much into it? The First Madam is the mistress of the house, and she’s the first daughter of the Lagorio family. If we don’t help her, who will? I also think that she can be a little too petty, but there’s no way about it. It’s the way of the world. jackie is just unlucky!”

“Ah!”

Yolanda released a sigh and managed an awkward smile.

At night, just as the sky settled into a deep, dark blue, jackie, Lana and Ethan left the estate.

The next morning, the two people that Lily had commanded, went to take the new shift. They talked with the others who were changing shifts, and they knew about this.

The two took in sharp intakes of breath. One of them went straight to see Lily.

Lily had initially thought that jackie would be killed very soon. She had been so excited that she could not sleep the whole night, and she had woken up very early this morning.

Now, she, Yolanda, and the young man from the Lagorio family were waiting for jackie in the garden.

“They’re back. So fast. jackie must have made his appearance!”

Lily’s face broke into a smile when she saw that the guards at the foot of the mountain ran up. Anticipation pounded in her chest.

Yet the man’s expression seemed grim when he ran over. “First Madam, you told us to keep watch on jackie and inform you immediately when he leaves the main house. But it seems like we won’t get the chance anymore!”

“Why?”

The smile on Lily’s face hardened. She asked him immediately.

“We talked to the people who were changing shifts and found out that jackie had gone off last night. They left just as it turned dark!”

The young guard gave a bitter smile. “When I asked further, it turned out that jackie was not the only one who left,” he continued. “There was another woman and that man called Ethan who left with him. There are three of them!”

Chapter 1106
After she heard all that, the corners of Lily’s mouth twitched violently.

She waved her hand after a while. “All right. Understood. Go back to your post first!”

“Yes, First Madam!”

The young man did a fist-to-palm salute before wheeling around and descending the mountain.

“What should we do now, First Madam? He has already left last night. We can’t kill him now!”

The young man from the Lagorio family twisted his lips into a bitter smile. “We can’t return the spirit grass you gave us yesterday,” he reminded her. “That’s a down payment!”

Yolanda was delighted as well. It seemed that she would not have to get her hands dirty now.

After all, she had always thought that Nash had treated them nicely. She had some reservations about killing his son.

Yet she never thought that Lily would cast a wicked grin instead. “Why’s that brat in such a hurry to leave, that he would take off a day earlier?” she said. “He must be afraid that I will send someone after him. That’s why he left earlier!”

Here, Lily paused before continuing, “But I know where he’s heading for. So he can’t escape!”

“Do you know where he’s heading, First Madam?”

The Lagorio man was surprised. “Seems like we’ll have to do our jobs anyway then!” he said, a bitter smile on his face.

“That brat is heading off for the branch families, as well as families that are bound to the White family… That’s why it’s time for you to go off!”

Lily flashed a mirthless smile and spoke as she looked at the two.

Yolanda and the young man’s expressions darkened. However, they nodded their heads in agreement in the end.

Soon enough, Yolanda and Dean went down the mountain and followed the path toward the branch families.

“Sh*t. It’s so hard. There are so many branch families. Are we really going to ask each and every one of them to find jackie? How are we going to do it?”

Dean’s expressions were fogged by a dark cloud. “I had thought we would receive plenty of benefits. Seems that these benefits won’t be easily obtained!”

“Of course. It’s not easy to obtain!”

Yolanda had a hapless expression. “Let’s go. He left just the night before. We’re both of the true god status and we’ve been flying a lot longer than him. He can’t fly for long before he has to resort to walking. Those of the demi-god status don’t have strong chi within them, so they can’t overuse it, just in case they run into trouble. That’s why we should be able to catch up to him if we fly more than we walk!”

“You’re right. It’s a long way off to the branch families. We’ll catch him near a branch family so long as we speed up!”

Dean’s eyes brightened when he heard that. “Yolanda, plenty of women are only good for their looks, not their brains,” he praised her, “but you’re an exception!”

Yolanda was speechless inside. She regretted her words now, honestly. She had no intention to kill jackie, but she made that proposal without thinking twice.

If only she had kept her mouth shut. They could just talk as they walked slowly, and it would be difficult to catch up to jackie then.

“Let’s go and catch up to them!”

Yolanda rolled her eyes at Dean. The two flew toward the direction of the branch families.

Yet jackie and the others had long arrived at the outskirts of a small city.

“Where are we heading now, Master?”

Chapter 1107
Lana could not help but ask jackie after thinking about it.

Before jackie could reply, Ethan spoke up, “If my hypothesis is correct, Master probably wants to have a meal and rest here first. Then we’ll buy tickets to the Soul City, right?”

jackie bobbed his head. “We’ll buy the tickets tomorrow after resting here for a while. Soul City is a province rich with natural resources, and there are plenty of rare herbs there. I’ll probably find the materials I need there!”

“All right. We were in a rush yesterday night, so it’s been tiring. It’s best if we leave tomorrow!”

Ethan nodded his head and smiled.

As Lana observed the bustling city, with its congested streets and raucous cacophony, she could not help but exclaim, “I now understand why shadow families like the White family hate the secular world. After all, the mountains have such strong points of chi. Meanwhile, not only you don’t get much chi in the dust realm, the air pollution here is so serious!”

“That’s right!”

jackie also could not help but gain a sense of appreciation for the mountains. “Now there are fewer places to properly train oneself. I think it’ll be harder for future generations if they want to break into the true god status. After all, it’s very difficult to get the spirit grass if there isn’t enough chi to nurture it. Our martial resources are getting scarce!”

“Oh, right. Do you think Lance and the others are truly dead, Master? They should have returned long ago if they hadn’t died. But even if they had died, they were masters from significant families. There must have been traces of fighting left behind in that mysterious forest they went into if they were killed. Or there should have been a footprint or something. Why isn’t there a single trace?”

Lana quickly thought of something else and asked out of curiosity as she walked with jackie and Ethan.

“It is rather strange!”

jackie’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. “But we don’t have time to consider if Lance and the others are dead or alive. Right now, we need to find the materials we need and craft an antidote for my father so that he recovers. Only then will we be able to prevent the Third Elder from acting against us!”

The three quickly found a place to eat and a hotel to stay in. They also booked flight tickets headed for Soul City scheduled the next morning.

The next day, at just over eleven o’clock in the morning, the three had already arrived at Soul City Airport.

“The air is good here, and there’s quite a bit of chi around. But it’s lacking compared to the City of Martial Arts!”

Ethan could not help but criticize after breathing some of the air here.

“Move over, Uncles. Don’t block the way.”

At this moment, a young woman appeared behind them, clad in stilettos and wearing sunglasses. She was pushing a luggage bag and cried out impatiently.

“Uncles?”

jackie and Ethan craned their necks around. The two could not help but be stunned speechless. They look like twenty-seven or twenty-eight at most.

The woman before them was probably a lot younger. She actually addressed them as uncles.

“What’s wrong? You don’t like the title, Uncles?”

The beautiful young woman stopped and took her sunglasses off, casting a condescending sneer at them. “What should I call you then, since you’re dressed so shabbily?”

“All right, Aunty. You may pass now. All right?”

jackie gave a wan smile and stepped aside. There was plenty of space around them, but the woman did not even think of going around. She just had to say that they were blocking the way.

“Aunty? You dare to call me that?”

The woman was so furious that her chest heaved heavily. She raised a leg and aimed a kick toward jackie.

Chapter 1108
jackie looked at the arrogant woman before him; he was tongue-tied.

The other party started the episode by calling them uncle jokingly, only then he called her ‘aunty’.

To everyone’s surprise, this was a sensitive woman; once she heard the word ‘aunty’, she swung her leg.

The woman was wearing high heels and the heels were sharp. If jackie really gets hit by this sharp heel, he would be…

When the heel was about to hit him, jackie bent slightly and grabbed the woman’s foot with one hand, and gently pulled it toward himself.

“Ah!”

The beautiful woman failed to stabilize herself and lunged toward jackie. Her other foot twisted, and the stiletto of the heel broke off.

“Let go of me, you b*stard!”

The woman landed gently into jackie’s embrace; her cheeks were kissed pink. She cursed at jackie as she was feeling hot on her cheeks.

Only then did jackie let go of the other party and said, “Miss, take this as a lesson for you today! These heels are so sharp, please don’t use them to kick anyone in the future!”

“Brat, do you know who I am? I’m from the Lancaster family, and my father will come to pick me up with a bunch of bodyguards in a moment! How dare you take advantage of me! You definitely deserve some good punching today!”

Shirley looked at jackie huffily, and her hands clasped in front of her bosom, looking high and almighty.

“Oh, is that so? They’re going to pick you up? Good to know. Well then. Nice to meet you, we’ll make a move first.”

jackie smiled faintly, not bothering to pay further attention to the other party.

At this time, not far away from jackie and the others, a young man with his hand holding a bouquet of flowers strode toward them with a dozen bodyguards following behind.

Shirley gazed over to the men and her face sank instantly. “What the heck? That guy, why is he here?”

The young man was a young master of a filthy rich family who often pestered her and clung to her like superglue. Shirley’s face turned unsightly and dull.

Nonetheless, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She took off her heels, pulled her suitcase, and paced toward jackie, trying to catch up. She then grabbed jackie’s arm from behind and leaned her head on jackie’s shoulder. “Hmph! You touched my leg just now, and I’m yours now. I don’t care! You have to be responsible for me, understand?” Shirley said to jackie.

jackie looked at Shirley and then looked at the gloomy young man who held a bouquet in his hand, standing not far from them. jackie’s face went dull, and he was speechless at the woman’s act. It was obvious that this woman was trying to use him as a shield to cast away the demon—the young rich man.

“Oh! Is that so? Hehe! Alright, don’t regret it then!”

jackie chuckled happily and wrapped his arm around the other party’s waist gently. Shirley’s face immediately turned into pink, the sort of pink that brought champagne roses to the imagination.

“You…”

Molten anger rolled through Shirley as she shot jackie a deadly glare.

“Oh? Weren’t you the one who asked me to be responsible for you? What’s wrong? Do you regret it now?”

jackie uttered with a cold smile.

Chapter 1109
Shirley gritted her teeth, but when she noticed the young rich man was striding towards them in a huff, she immediately changed her attitude. “That’s impossible. I, Shirley Lancaster, never regret anything I do. Do you even dare to tell me your name?” Shirley responded with a pretending warm smile.

“ jackie White!”

jackie smiled frostily and added, “ jackie White is my name and I’m proud of it. Why should I be afraid of telling you my name!”

“That’s good!”

The beautiful woman smiled faintly, and after noticing the young rich man stood before them, she then greeted him, “Hi, Young Master Norton, it’s been a long time! What brings you here? Are you picking someone up?”

When the Young Master Norton saw the intimate behaviors between the two, the corners of his mouth twitched awkwardly.

With a gloomy and darkened face, he looked at Shirley and said, “Shirley Lancaster, who is this brat? Don’t forget your role! You’re my fiancée, you and I are engaged! Who am I here to pick up? Don’t you know that clearly in your heart?”

jackie heard the exchange and was rendered speechless. He did not see this coming; he truly did not expect that this man was actually Shirley’s fiancé.

However, from the looks of it, their marriage was not by their own will but arranged by their parents. Shirley was clearly unsatisfied with the arrangement, hence she wanted to piss this so-called fiancé off.

“Heh! Young Master Norton, you’re not that dumb, are you? Our marriage was arranged by our grandfathers before we were born into this world! You and I are totally not compatible!”

Shirley stared at the other party impatiently and then continued, “Let me introduce to you my boyfriend, jackie White. We’ve been together for almost two years, so you better give up. I didn’t tell you sooner because I was afraid it would affect your self-confidence. But since you’ve seen us together today, it is what it is!”

Shirley paused for a few seconds and then added, “However, since I’m the one who broke off the engagement, I’m willing to compensate you with a hundred million dollars to comfort your wounded heart, how about that? After all, you’re Young Master Norton, who is never short of women, right? I’ve always heard that you’re often accompanied and surrounded by beautiful young ladies, so why do you still want to marry me?”

“Hmph! Shirley, it’s not like you don’t know that a hundred million dollars is nothing but stacks of paper in my eyes!”

Young Master Norton smiled icily. “On the contrary, those other women who are seen with me, are nothing but tools for me in handling business. They’re just for show, and you’re my fiancée! Once we’re married, I promise that I’ll stay with you every day and every second!”

“Wilton Norton, didn’t I already say it crystal clear? This man is my boyfriend and we’ve been together for almost two years! What else do you not understand?”

Shirley grew even more frustrated. She had already laid out all the cards for him to see clearly, but the other party refused to give up on her and continued to cling onto her.

Wilton cast jackie a despising glance and sneered coldly, “Haha! Shirley, do you think I’m that stupid? I don’t believe your bullsh*t at all! How is it possible for our Young Miss Lancaster to find such an ordinary and lowly guy to be your boyfriend? You’re testing my intelligence, right? Let’s say what you said is true, you’ve been with him for so long, hence you should’ve bought him branded and premium clothes and watches, right? Why does this brat look like a beggar then?”

He paused for a moment as he looked at Shirley’s bare feet. “Why are you barefoot?” He asked with a confused look on his face.

“None of your business! I like him that way. It doesn’t matter if he’s poor, at least he’s better looking than you, more charming than you!”

Shirley stared at Wilton puffingly. She was completely mad at the other party.

Wilton’s expression grew even more unsightly. He pointed at jackie with a devastating yet ugly look on his face. “Shirley, you’re insulting me, do you know that? You’re my fiancée for f*ck sake! And you’d rather choose this trash than to be with me?” Wilton started to yell. “Hmph! Since you said you’ve been with him for almost two years, then you two must have slept together right?” He asked cynically.

Shirley scrunched up her face and a vein popped out in her neck. She turned to jackie with her teeth gritted and said stiffly, “Of—of course, we’ve slept together. What about it then? Are you hurt or disappointed? Oops, I’m sorry but I can’t help. I just don’t have feelings for you, so you can’t force me. Besides, the marriage agreement was between my grandfather and yours. Now that they’re both dead, the agreement is no longer valid! You’d better give up and leave!”

“I don’t believe it! You must be lying to me!”

Wilton’s face contorted and anger clouded his features. “Unless-unless both of you kiss each other in front of me right now!” He yelled.

Chapter 1110
jackie immediately went poker-faced when he heard Wilton’s words. What the f*ck was this? He had just taken a long flight and landed in Soul City. He never expected to get involved in this drama.

Initially, he thought that he only had to help this pitiful woman by pretending to be her boyfriend to upset the other party so that they would leave.

Little did he expect the young master would actually request for them to kiss in front of him, in public, or else the young master would not believe.

But to think about it, Shirley had never had a boyfriend before, and suddenly she claimed that there was a boyfriend? It was too untrustworthy even for jackie himself.

A scarlet flush crept up Shirley’s face and her eyebrows knitted. She was in a difficult situation right now.

However, jackie had touched her leg and wrapped his strong arm around her waist, if she were to deny that jackie was her boyfriend right now, all her previous efforts would go down the drain. Besides, she cared a lot about her reputation and public image, and right now she had no way to back down.

Watching Shirley’s face go blank and dull, Wilton laughed and sneered sarcastically, “Oh? What’s the matter? I was correct, right? Hahaha! Shirley, I’m no fool, it’s not that easy to trick me! I, Wilton Norton, am not stupid!”

“Well. It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that Shirley would be embarrassed if we were to kiss on the street!”

However, at this time, jackie intervened with a faint smile plastered on his face. His arm that was wrapped around Shirley’s waist was now, tighter. He turned to Shirley and smiled warmly at her, “Besides, Shirley is tired after flying for such a long time. We should find a hotel to have a good meal and good rest first. Things like love and affection, we’ll wait till the night when the atmosphere is right.”

Shirley’s blushed cheeks were even redder by now. She gazed at the jackie before him, realizing that he was truly a good-looking guy. Now that they were close and her waist was held tightly by him, she somewhat felt a little weird inside, like butterflies in her stomach.

Lana—who had been standing behind the two—was jealous of them in her heart. Even though the episode before her was just merely an act, she was envious of Shirley. If she were Shirley right now, she would die of happiness!

“You’re such a pervert!”

Shirley quickly reacted to jackie’s acting and cooperatively threw him a wink and scolded him in a coquettish tone.

Wilton burned with anger and fury vibrated through his being when he saw the couple flirting with each other, moreover, the woman before him was his fiancé! How could he not have thrummed with anger?

“Motherfcker! How dare you touch my woman! I’m Wilton Norton for fck sake! You certainly have a death wish!” Wilton hissed and stared deadly at jackie.

“Huh, brat, how dare you threaten me? There aren’t many people who threaten me, but for those who did, they don’t end up well in their life!”

jackie chuckled nonchalantly and continued, “In a moment, Uncle Xavien will be here to meet us. And there’ll be dozens of bodyguards coming together with him. So, what now? Do you dare to beat me up in front of them?”

“Is that so? Do you really think that I’m afraid of the Lancaster family?”

Wilton jeered frostily and gestured to his underlings. “Beat him up! Uncle Xavien and his men aren’t here now, let me, the Young Master of the Norton Family, teach this beggar a good lesson today! And I’ll tell Uncle Xavien that his daughter is together with a stinky beggar with no power and no money! We’ll see if Uncle Xavien agrees with your relationship then!” Wilton commanded to his underlings, at the same time, critiqued the couple.

As Wilton’s last word dropped, the bodyguards behind him immediately charged forward and surrounded jackie; they prepared to beat him up.

Shirley merely wanted to piss Wilton off initially, so that he would give up on her. However, she did not expect at all that the other party commanded his men to beat jackie up.

She was in complete shock and terror right now. She was the culprit of this episode; she stirred up the problem, and yet jackie was the one who would receive the beating. jackie was innocent!

When Shirley thought of this, she clenched her teeth and stepped forward, standing in front of jackie and blocking the men from harming jackie. “Wilton Norton, don’t you understand the theory ‘you can take a horse to the water, but you can’t make him drink’? You can’t force a relationship nor marriage onto somebody else. And how could you beat people up when the outcome is not what you desire!” Shirley huffed angrily.

Chapter 1111
“You’re wrong. I’m not kind or generous at all. You’re my fiancée and this trash slept with you! If I don’t beat him to death today, I’m not Wilton Norton!”

Anger flooded Wilton’s veins and his eyes were filled with rage. “Shirley Lancaster, I was being too nice to you before and you took my kindness for granted! How dare you sleep with another man, such reckless behavior! I’m not afraid of the Lancaster family at all! Don’t forget, the Lancaster family is merely a third-class family here, and the Norton family is a second-class! A third-class can’t do anything to a second-class!” Wilton barked as he stared fiercely at Shirley.

“I’m…I’m sorry, jackie. I didn’t expect that things would turn out like this…”

Terror dawned upon Shirley’s face as she heard Wilton’s words. She started to consider whether or not to tell the other party the truth.

Nonetheless, jackie chortled and comforted her gently, “It’s alright. He has bodyguards, I have two here, too!”

Ethan and Lana immediately stood up upon summon. “Hey, maggots, do you have a death wish? How dare you offend our young master!” They barked at Wilton and his men.

Those bodyguards who surrounded jackie stood frozen upon hearing. The two behind that man were his bodyguards? And this brat was actually a young master? Could he be a young master of a certain prominent family?

The bodyguards were afraid of offending a highly authoritative person, hence they all wheeled their heads and looked at Wilton for the next order.

“Young Master Norton?”

Puzzlement appeared on Wilton’s features as well. He quickly adjusted and sneered with a sinister laugh, “Oh, boy, your acting is not bad at all, who are you trying to intimidate? In this Soul City, I’ve not heard of any young master of the White family. Moreover, there are only a few first-class families here, what is there to be afraid of? Even if he is rich, he is at most a young master of a rich businessman! Beat him to death!” he ordered.

“Young Master Norton is right, I think this brat is probably just trying to stall for time, waiting for the head of Lancaster family to come and rescue them!”

One of the bodyguards smiled coldly. He charged directly with a clenched fist toward Ethan who stood in front of him.

Ethan and Lana exchanged glances for a second and both found their eyes full of excitement. They had not fought for a long time; all their muscles and joints were screaming for some good exercise. It looked like they could use these bodyguards to practice.

Within a few seconds, dozens of bodyguards that Wilton had brought with him were all lying on the ground, wailing one after another.

“No f*cking way!”

Wilton was completely dumbfounded. He did not expect that the two bodyguards of this brat called jackie were so strong and powerful. With a few blows and blasts, his bodyguards were all knocked down and crying for pain on the ground.

“Your…your bodyguards, aren’t they too powerful?”

The bare-footed Shirley who stood beside jackie had a silly look on her face. She studied jackie again—a man who was dressed so ordinary; she did not expect his bodyguards to be so powerful.

She had also heard that the majority of Wilton’s bodyguards were former mercenaries and they possessed strong combat prowess. Ordinary fighters were not on par with them at all! She clearly did not expect that these skillful bodyguards were like tofu in front of them—soft and weak.

“Take your people and leave!”

jackie looked at Wilton—who almost wetted his pants—and reprimanded coldly. “Let me give you a piece of advice, feelings and love can’t be forced, same goes for a marriage. Don’t pester Shirley anymore, do you hear me?”

Chapter 1112
“Brat, I’ll let you win this time!”

Wilton was smoking with anger inside, but he could not do anything. He had never imagined that he, as a young master of a second-class family, could not do anything about the current situation—his fiancée was with another man and he could not even teach the brat a lesson. Even worse, he was threatened by the man!
