"Mother, this calls for a Celebration." Mark grinned as he couldn't believe his eyes while going through the papers.
Mabel nodded in agreement, she too was not expecting Zoey to be able to secure a contract and was surprised. "I bet it must be some kind of dumb luck." Mark grinned and stood up. He was ready to go and show off the contract. Now, the Clarkson family was going to become invincible; they were directly affiliated with a first-tier company, and this was a huge boost. As long as they maintained the contract, even a first-tier family wouldn't be willing to offend them; after all, Skyline Technologies was one of the most powerful companies in the whole of North Hampton. "Excuse me, may I come in." A deep male voice came just as Mark was about to leave. "Yes come in," Mark yelled, not caring about who might be at the door. He was very happy and thus wouldn't give a damn at the moment. The next moment, a tall lanky figure walked into the sitting room holding a briefcase with a smile on his face. "Mr. Benson!" Mabel's eyes opened wide in shock, seeing the figures, and instantly jumped out of the couch where she was relaxing. Mark was a little bit slow because he was shocked and by the time he recovered, his mother had already invited Mr. Benson into the house. "Sorry for my son's rudeness earlier, we didn't know it was you." Mabel apologized bowing low. "You don't have to bow," Mr. Benson shook his head, swallowing his Saliva. Even though he was the manager of Skyline Technologies and many heads of prominent families would have to be respectful in front of him, these sets of people were not ordinary. "If I may ask, where is Miss Zoey Clarkson?" He requested, looking at Mabel. "Zoey left just now. May I ask what it is that you want with her?" Mabel replied, trying to keep her voice as neutral as she could. Her heart was beating with excitement, though she didn't know what Mr. Benson came to do, she still hoped that it was something positive. "It's nothing much." Benson laughed, waving his hands, sweat gathered on his forehead. "I came to collect the contract signed by Miss Zoey so that it can take effect." "Ohh that." Mark laughed and then brought out the contract. "Here it is." He continued and handed the contract to Benson. Benson nodded and then took the contract from Mark before going through it carefully. "If I may ask, was it Miss Zoey who signed the contract?" Benson questioned after a while. "No, it's not Zoey who signed the contract. She's unfit to handle it and she's married to a criminal." Mark blurted out almost immediately. "There's no way we would allow someone like her to handle the contract." "So, I just took her place and signed it instead." He continued. Hearing this, Benson's expression changed, and immediately, he dropped the contract and then stood up. "Huh?" Mabel and Mark froze seeing this wondering what was wrong. "Mr. Benson, is anything wrong?" Mabel asked slowly. "I'm afraid we'll have to sue you for a breach of contract terms," Benson said, his voice turning strict. "We...we don't understand how we breached the contract...." Mabel stuttered, not knowing what to do. "On the contract page, it was stated that only Miss Zoey was allowed to sign the contract and she would be in charge of the contract from the beginning to the end. If you fail to meet this condition, then you'll have to compensate us." Benson uttered calmly, looking at the horrified expression on Mark's and Mabel's faces. "But I just read through the contract and I didn't see anything that's about that...." Mark stuttered as he tried to argue. "Check the last page at the bottom, you'll find it there." Benson enunciated. Instantly, Mark rushed forward and took the contract, opened to the last page, and just as Benson had said, there was the contract Clause. "Next time, open your eyes and read the clauses from the top to the bottom." Benson sneered and walked towards the door. "Sir, how are we going to rectify this?" Mabel yelled as she ran after Benson who was walking out of the house. "I'm afraid you have only two options," Benson stated, turning around to face Mabel. "First is to get Miss Zoey to sign the contract, and second, you take the brunt of breaking one of the contract Clauses." Benson was still wondering in his heart where the Clarkson family had their guts from. Didn't they know who Jordan was? Even though he also didn't know Jordan's real identity, he knew that Jordan was someone who was able to force the higher-ups of the company to bend his rules. If one were to read the contract Clauses well, then they would discover that it was just so damn good to be true and this was because it all came from Jordan. Also, there was going to be no penalty if the contract Clause was broken by Zoey and this was only if she was the one who broke it. Yet, they couldn't see all of these and still went ahead to snatch it away from her. He had to say that they were a little bit gusty. "Mr. Benson, isn't there another way round to this?" Mabel inquired, the fury in her voice could be felt. "No, there's no way around it, and for your information, you have just three days to get Miss Zoey to sign the contract, or else you will face the consequences.." Benson voiced, his voice turning serious towards the end. "When you are ready, you can take this contract to her and make her sign it; else you will be facing whatever the company decides." Benson continued and then pulled out another contract from the briefcase he was holding. "Wishing you all good luck with whatever you decide." He added and then turned around and left under the gazes of Mabel and Mark.

Let The Search Begin
"Everyone, listen up," Xander turned to the men, his voice reaching every corner of their surroundings."We only have a few hours to find the culprit, there can't be any mistakes,""You all know what would happen if the master takes action himself," Xander stated, his voice booming."Yes sir!" The loud echo of the men shook the place once again, shuddering slightly at the thought of what Jordan was capable of."Now, dominate the city and find the culprit," Xander commanded.Instantly the men's figure began to flash out, all heading towards different directions in the city.Xander's men had their eyes fully in use. Even what was behind a wall couldn't escape their perception. They could see through everything and everyone."We should also make our search," Xander turned to the others the moment the men left.When no one was around, he was more like the leader. Though it was not officially stipulated by either Azure Dragon or Jordan, his strength made him earn respect from the others."
Arrival
North Hampton was destined to be in a mess that day. Airports suddenly shut down all of a sudden.The planes that were about to take off suddenly stopped. The customers were given no explanation, only that an order came from above and they couldn't move until the next twenty-four hours.The landing plane was forced to go back to where it was coming back from.Subway stations were closed. No train dared to move. Ferries were more or less the same, and this prevented even buses from going out of the city.This caused a lot of unrest. No one knew what was happening. All they knew was that someone from above stopped all of these movements and no one dared to disobey.At that moment, inside the Mayor's office, a young man rushed into the office, staring at the mayor, who had his eyes closed."Sir, did you see what's happening?" The young man panicked, staring at the Mayor who was calm."I've seen it all, everything," The mayor nodded, his expression not changing.At first, he was also in a
Summoning Everyone
"I know, we have to look for a way to stop the master, or else it's going to be perilous for all," Azure Dragon agreed. This was also the reason he called Alice. They had to think of a solution as soon as they could, or else they were all cooked. "What do we do?" Alice asked once again, her voice shaky while she shivered a bit. The thought of Jordan using that method made her shiver in fear. "Inform everyone, all of our men, all the five regiments, every one of them," Azure Dragon instructed, his eyes narrowing into a thin line. "They are all to come to North Hampton in the next two hours, I don't care what they might be doing, they have to leave all that they are doing and come right away," "Yes sir," Alice nodded, knowing just how much this was. If they didn't act fast, then it would be bad for everyone. "Once they've arrived, they should not even bother looking for me, they should just begin the search right away," "They should seal every route leading out of North Hampton.
The Master Wants To Use That Method
"Yes, sir." The man nodded and instantly led the two to see the bodies. Walking into the mortuary, he led two to see the bodies, which had already been placed into the cold chamber of the mortuary at the back. Opening two at the same time, he stepped backward to let Azure Dragon and Jordan observe the body. Stepping forward, Azure Dragon stared at the bodies, his expression ashen and his eyes red while he clenched his fist to contain his rage. The bodies before him had been mauled badly showing just how much they were tortured before they died. Bruises on their faces, arms, and legs, and also they looked skinny, like someone who had been starving for a year or so. From what he was seeing, he could tell that the deaths of these two were gruesome. Whoever had killed them tortured them to the point where they chose death as peace. Who the heck was this cruel? Why would they do something like this to his men? Why?! Azure Dragon nearly yelled out, staggering backward, not knowing
Keep Your Voice Down
"Sir, what did you see?" Azure Dragon inquired as they drove along the way highest. "That lady is of a Pure Yin constitution," Jordan revealed, the smile on his face a little bit stiff at the moment. All of his and Azure Dragon's Conjectures were slowly coming true. If what they were thinking was true, then Amelia and all those who had been abducted would be in danger. And that was not a good thing. He needed to rescue them as soon as he could. "Sir, since that's the case, wouldn't that make it dangerous leaving her. She would get abducted," Azure Dragon spoke slowly, observing Jordan's expression. "It's not really that hard you know," Jordan chuckled. "I've left my Qi in her body, so once she gets abducted I'll know. That way, we'll be able to know where the culprit is," Jordan revealed. Hearing this, Azure Dragon heaved out a huge sigh of relief. If that was the case, then it was all good. "Now let's go check up on my wife and confirm our theory once again," Jordan said once
More Clues
Stepping into the parking lot of the company, Azure Dragon and Jordan instantly began to search around the garage, wanting to see if they would be able to see anything suspicious. First, they headed towards Sarah's car, wanting to see if any trap was set for her there. Observing the car, they saw nothing, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. This meant that there was no way Sarah would be targeted. Though it was all speculation, it was still that way. "Azure Dragon, call Mia and instruct her not to let my wife out of her sight for the time being," Jordan commanded, turning to Azure Dragon. "Yes sir," Azure Dragon nodded, pulling out his phone to make the call while Jordan continued to check the cars. Since Sarah was safe, it didn't really mean that the others were also safe. He was the owner of the company, so he had to take care of employee safety. He was responsible for it and would be questioned for any happenings in the company, he couldn't afford to make a mistake.
