ETERNAL LORD STEIN

Chapter 10

“Jackson, why are you taking this things too far even to this length. Must you humiliate Aiden or have him killed before you become satisfied? Why must you plan to disgrace or torture Aiden because of me?!”

“I didn't plan to humiliate or have him killed. I just want him to get out of my way and stop interfering in my matters. Besides, I am only offering him some golden and rare privilege because of large heart and love for you. He can as well choose to leave this place right now in peace if he can't bear the shame of selling off his stupid love and admiration for you for my two hundred thousand dollars offer!”

At this time Jade was again thrown into confusion. Initially, she was happy that Aiden had regained his mental sanity and was no longer crazy or foolish. However, she was confused and worried that things may get worse should she insist on keeping Aiden.

She was deeply concerned and worried about Aiden's safety.

She had the feelings that something bad may happen to Aiden and which she won't be able to protect him.

Thus, she beckoned to Aiden and said, “Aiden, you should leave here now. Don't worry, I am going to meet you at home after settling the matter with Jackson.”

“Darling, I have told you not to worry yourself about my safety. So, stop worrying because I am absolutely fine here.” Aiden replied her very passionately and then turned to face Jackson and asked, “You're not worthy to compete with me. So stop trying so hard to gain revelance to your miserable self by competing with me. It won't work!”

“Haha! This is very hilarious! This fool is saying that Mr Foley isn't worthy of competing against him in a challenge. Who does he thinks he is?!”

“It seems like Aiden is scared of losing the challenge to mr Foley!.”

“Wouldn't you be scared of losing if you were in his shoes? Do you know what it means to compete for a woman against the influential Jackson Foleys?”

“He is just putting up so defense tactics to protect himself so that he wouldn't appear weak and useless.”

The onlookers analyzed and discussed the situation among themselves. They believed that Aiden was using a defense tactics by saying that Jackson is not worthy of competing against him.

“Haha! So, you don't want to take the challenge! Are you scared of losing or the shame that will follow your defeat?!”

With his two hands in his pocket, Aiden said in a denigrating voice, “I am not scared of losing anything to you, rather, I am just stating the obvious truth. You're not worthy to compete against me. And even if I am to take challenge, there's absolutely nothing to gain from the challenge because you're not qualified to call me your father or worship at my feet. I can't have a foolish and useless ant like you to call me father or worship at my feet.”

He took a momentarily pause and laughed before he continued. This time, he scanned the entire hall and said coldly, “How about this, I will take up the second challenge but you would have to crawl and grovel at Jade's feet, begging her to forgive you for perverting her forcefully, should loss the challenge to me.”

“Is that your condition?” Asked Jackson.

“Yes!”

“That's fine by me. I am in.”

With a brimming smiles on his face Jackson accepted Aiden's condition immediately without thinking it twice.

When Jackson accepted Aiden's condition for the challenge, Jade quickly drew Aiden's hand and whispered into his ear, saying, “Aiden, are you for real? How could you accept such challenge against Jackson. Don't you know that he plans to humiliate and have you killed after he defeats you in the challenge?”

Aiden whispered back, “Don't worry darling. He is not going to win me. Trust me.” 

After whispering into Jade's ear, Aiden immediately produced an imaginary paper on the air by making his magical and signature’ symbol and then said, “Prepare a wedding gift and send them to the Smith's family before the next four minutes from now!”

Withdrawing the magical imaginary papers, he turned to Mrs Smith Senior and said, “I have ordered the Garners to bring my wedding gift. Therefore, in four minutes time, the Garners will be here with the betrothal gifts which I'm sending for Jade's sake.”

He also produced an ancient black jadeite stone from his pocket, placed it in Jade's palm and said, “Jade, this is my special wedding gift to you. It also represent the sign of my undying love for you. With this jadeite stone in your hand, the entire world would become your footstool. With it, the world would be under your control and no one will ever dare to challenge you without facing a deadly penalty.” 

At the same time in a luxurious penthouse mansion of the Garners.

Alexander Garner and his family members were chit-chatting happily after taking their meal when an ancient black stone appeared before them and then came a commanding voice that says, “Prepare a wedding gift and send them to the Smith's family before the next four minutes from now!”

“What?!”

“Father, what's this sign and where is the voice coming from? Whose voice is this?”

Seeing the sudden appearance of the ancient black stone plus the command, Alexander's blood, including that of the members of his household ran cold inside of them and they trembled violently.

However, Alexander forced himself to calm down and exclaimed, saying, “This voice belongs to my savior and master, Lord Stein. He wants me to prepare a wedding gift and send them to the Smith's family in his behalf.”

“Father, who is this Lord Stein and why calling him your savior and master?” Alexander’s daughter asked.

“It's a long story and you and you may understand it even if I tries explaining the mystery behind my master and how I was able to build and establish the Garners into what we are and have currently. Right now, our major task is to prepare a wedding gift and send them to the Smiths immediately as we’re left with a very short time to carry out my master command.”

“Alright, then!”

None of his family members dared asked him further questions. Instead, they all got busy and began to prepare some gift to send to the Smith's family as wedding gifts from Lord Stein.
