Clues
"Yes sir," Alice nodded and rushed back towards the car to get her laptop.She already heard of the briefing from Azure Dragon and thus knew how important the person in question was to Jordan.The whole of North Hampton was going to feel his wrath if anything were to happen to her. They could only pray they were safe.Taking out her phone, Alice made some calls to facilitate what she was about to do."Sir, here's the video; this is for yesterday morning," Alice announced after a few minutes, walking over to Jordan, causing Azure Dragon to also move closer to see what was happening.Playing the video, they watched. The video showed Amelia going out of the house. Getting into the car, she was taken to work by the person Jordan assigned to her.Though there were two, only one would show at a time. Though the other one would follow them secretly, they had learned to rotate it."Let's see what happened to her when she came back; I want to know if she came back or not," Jordan commanded, hi
Amelia Is Missing
(The Next Day)"I'll be heading out now, I need to meet up with my secretary," Zoey announced, holding her bag while walking towards the door."Do you want me to drive you?" Jordan proposed, standing from where he was sitting."No, you should get some rest first," Zoey immediately refused, shaking her head before walking out of the house.Jordan smiled lightly, seeing this, but he didn't say anything. Seemed like Mia had already started with the plan.According to his calculations, everything should be done in about two or three months.Then he would see what grounds they would stand on when they finally knew the truth."Brother-in-law, I'll also be heading to work now, my car is here," Sarah also stepped out of her room, dark circles under her eyes as she walked towards the door."Why don't you take a rest at home. It won't hurt if you don't go to work today," Jordan frowned slightly seeing Sarah's state."No, that won't do," Sarah shook her head, refusing Jordan's suggestion.Her re
Giving Alice and Mia Orders
"I'm all ears sir," Alice grinned, rubbing her palms after hearing what Jordan said.She had thought he was going to get annoyed since she wasn't able to get clues on the incident. Besides, the incident was related to his wife's safety, so she was sure he would take it more seriously."I want you to completely buy out the shares of my wife's company," Jordan revealed, his eyes flashing with a glint."Huh?" Alice froze hearing this, but soon a smile appeared on her lip as she realized what Jordan wanted to do."Currently, she's facing a mid-crisis, and I'm sure she'll want to stake everything to protect her position in the company," Jordan explained."And that involves selling part of her shares,""So what you need to do is to approach like an investor and request to invest in the company, but in return, you want part of the company shares," "It's more like buying a share from the company directly," Jordan continued, explaining everything to Alice."Just offer her a reasonable amount.
Blame Your Wife's Incompetence
Thirty minutes later, Jordan pulled up before the house. It was already dark. There was traffic, so they had no other choice but to take a longer route."Why's there another car outside the house? Did you invite someone?" Jordan frowned, turning to Zoey who in turn shook her head."That should be my uncle's car," Zoey muttered after a while, her brows also narrowing in confusion."Mark?" Jordan gritted his teeth, a glint flashing in his eyes. Though he was not sure of the person who had laid out the trap, his first suspect was naturally Mark.After all, he had done it once, there was no saying that he wouldn't do it a second time."Let's go in and see what he has to say," Jordan broke the silence, alighting from the car with Zoey."Sister, sister!" Sarah's voice came at this moment just as the two were about to walk into the house."What's wrong Sarah?" Zoey stared at her sister who had come running out of the house.Most probably, she heard the sound of her car pulling up and rushed
Old Friend
"Jordan, what are you doing here?" Zoey, who had just stepped out of the company, froze, staring at Jordan, who seemed to be waiting for her, surprise written all over her face."I came to wait for my wife, I want to pick her up from work," Jordan chuckled, walking towards Zoey while helping her with her things."But there was no need for that," Zoey shook her head, her face red as Jordan helped her with her stuff.It was rather heavy. She was planning to take some work home, and thus, she had quite a load, and it was heavy for her. Her grandmother had been pressing her on some issues and she was doing research.She didn't want to tell Jordan as she knew he was going to help her out. He had already helped her out enough, so it wouldn't be right if she burdened him with this also."Well, I'm afraid someone might try to hit on my wife while I'm not around," Jordan chuckled, walking to the garage of the company with Zoey."What are you talking about," Zoey couldn't help but roll her eyes
Sending Lilly Back
"You don't have to apologize," Jordan, who had just arrived at the scene, shook his head and helped Azure Dragon up."I wouldn't have stopped you if we were on the battlefield. But we are inside the country, so we need to follow the rules." Jordan shook his head."Since they didn't start a fight, neither did they try to kill us, we can't help but let them go," Jordan continued, then glanced at the assassins."Now, Scram, before I get pissed off. Else you can only tell your story to Hades?" He threatened, a glint flashing in his eyes.Stopping Azure Dragon from killing them didn't mean he wouldn't be able to do so. After all, rules were meant for the weak. They were never for the strong, so he didn't care.If their organization knew he was the one who killed them, they wouldn't even dare to fart, not to talk of taking revenge.The assassins, though not knowing who Jordan was, took to their heels instantly. They could sense the faint bloodlust that had been suppressed coming from him.T
Don't Kill Him
Azure Dragon let out a small chuckle hearing this. He was only pretending he didn't know they had been surrounded. If he really didn't know, then he didn't deserve to be by Jordan's side.He had long noticed the men but acted as though he couldn't notice them, wanting to see how Lilly was going to act."Stand back first, I don't think it'll be possible to get our hands on the herb and Qi Vein," Lilly stepped forward, shielding Azure Dragon, her expression cold."Are we at the place?" Azure Dragon questioned, a confused expression appeared on his face."Yeah, that's the sunflower herb over there. And beneath this flowing stream is where the Qi vein is located," Lilly said, pointing at a plant that looked more like a sunflower plant than a herb and then the stream flowing right beside them."We can just pretend as if we didn't know about it and leave; they shouldn't do anything to us, right?" Azure Dragon frowned slightly, his eyes darting around scrutinizing his surroundings."That's n
Confession
"Azure Dragon, where are you?" Jordan inquired the moment Azure Dragon answered the call."I'm at the park, sir; Lilly requested I bring her over," Azure Dragon answered, wondering what was wrong."Fuck it," Jordan cursed under his breath and then quickly recounted his conversation to him.As expected, Azure Dragon also exploded in anger, thinking he had trusted the wrong person."You don't need to be annoyed; she did that under the influence of those old men else she would have told you the truth," Jordan spoke, dispelling Azure Dragon's thoughts."But...""Don't worry; let's see if she would still tell you the truth or would continue to lie to you about it," Jordan interrupted Azure Dragon, who was about to explode."Sir, what should I do?" Azure Dragon inquired, wanting to know what he should do."Continue to act as though you don't know anything, I'll be there soon. Also, protect her even if she doesn't tell you anything.""But if she does tell you, reprimand her a little and then
Deceived By The Old Men
"Ring!" Jordan's phone Rang the moment he stepped out of the restaurant."Sir," Alice's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone."What's wrong Alice?" Jordan Frowned slightly wondering what was wrong."Sir, I don't think the assassin's objective is Lilly and Alexis," Alice reported, her voice still filled with trepidation."What do you mean?" Jordan frowned slightly, wondering what Alice could mean."What I'm trying to say is that we have been tricked, the assassins never came to kill Lily and Alexis. Though they might have it on their agenda, they just used it as an over-up. That's not their target," Alice explained "They had their eyes on something else right from the beginning and they are heading to get it now as we speak," Alice continued."Also, I don't think Lilly's reason for coming to North Hampton is to seek refuge, rather, it's to get what the assassins were also after."Jordan's eyes widened after hearing this, and he couldn't help but clench his fist in anger.
