“All three dresses suit you well, honey. Do you like it? We’ll get them if you like it!” The two saleswomen no longer dared to look down on Jack. They merely stood there pitifully.

Hearing Jack’s words, Selena blushed. She was still a little unused to the term ‘Honey’. “I still think it’s too expensive!” By then, Selena had already changed back into her clothes. She took a look at the three dresses, then replied with a smile. “It’s the thought that counts. One dress will do, no need for that many!”

“Just admit that you’re poor and drop the act. Don’t even think of leaving the store if you can’t pay up today!” Karen, the rich woman, started sneering at them.

When the saleswomen heard those words, they felt delighted. ‘These three poor blokes are acting so insolent even though they’re poor. Let’s see how you deal with it now that you met a stronger figure.’

However, out of their expectations, Jack passed the three dresses to the saleswoman that he slapped earlier. “Just these three. Pack them up for me!”

“You’re really buying? The total is almost two hundred thousand dollars…” The woman asked out of surprise, then finally led the way after a moment, saying, “Sir, this way please!”

Jack followed along and took out a gold card. The numbers on the card were all eights.

“This…is it usable?” the saleswoman frowned, unable to resist from muttering. It was her first time seeing such a card.

“Why do you keep spewing nonsense? It’s password-free for payments under ten billion dollars!” Jack gave her an impatient look, then dashingly waved at Selena who was waiting for him.

The saleswoman took a big gulp of air. Somehow, she still felt that this man before him was lying. Even the most powerful black card that she knew of was only limited to password-free transactions under 10 million dollars. Meanwhile, this person was telling her that his card allowed for password-free transactions under 10 billion? If that was not a lie, what was? However, she tried her best to smile and ran the card through the reader. Surprisingly, the transaction was successful instantly!

“Oh my god, he was telling the truth?” The beautiful saleswoman swallowed hard. Even if that was a lie, the card was still capable of password-free transactions for that sum of money. This person’s identity was surely extraordinary. Moreover, this type of customer would definitely be considered VIP amongst VIP at the banks.

“Sir, here you go. Please come again!” It was rare for them to meet such a rich customer. The beautiful saleswoman respectfully passed the card back to Jack and bowed slightly, trying to appease him.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you just diss us for being poor? You’re still asking us to come again?” Jack smiled coldly as he retrieved his card.

“It’s all a misunderstanding. I didn’t expect you to keep such a low profile! The beautiful saleswoman answered with a smile, then added, “If you’re making similar purchases here every day, I don’t mind getting slapped by you again!” After all, those three dresses gave them quite a good commission, especially the one costing over 100 thousand dollars. Most people could not afford it.

Jack could not be bothered with her. He then approached Selena and Joan. “Let’s go. Ma, we’ll go shop somewhere else and see if there are any that suit you!”

“Are you serious? You really settled the bill?” Karen stood in front of the door waiting to teach Jack a lesson. When she saw the saleswoman escorting Jack out delightfully, she was flabbergasted. Although she did not lack wealth, she would still feel the pain if she spent 200 thousand dollars in one go. Moreover, she had just uttered some mean words.

“A good dog doesn’t block the way! Move aside!” Jack stated coldly as he reached the door and stared at those bodyguards.

“Brat, you’re quite insolent! The leader of the bodyguards was aggravated. He took a step forward and sent a punch right at Jack’s face. However, he was sent flying the very next instant, landing heavily on the floor.

“This…” The rest of the bodyguards were stunned. This brat seemed to be a capable fighter.

“What’re you doing standing there? Go get him! Damn it, how dare he hit my men. That’s just disrespecting me, Karen!” Karen snapped her fingers and barked her orders. Upon witnessing that, she was furious.

Unfortunately, the next moment she was speechless. Her rather capable bodyguards that went through special training were all lying on the floor, unable to even touch his clothes.

“Karen, would you like to try?” Jack stared coldly at Karen, curling his finger invitingly at her.

“It’s all a misunderstanding. brother, I can see that you’re quite the capable fighter. Why don’t you be my bodyguard? I’ll pay you!” Karen smiled awkwardly. If her bodyguards were no match for Jack, what could she, a weak little girl, do? She would probably die from a single kick.

“Be your bodyguard? Ha, you’re overestimating yourself!” To Jack, that offer was a joke. He, the Supreme Warrior, master of the Nine Gods of War, and his countless contributions in the war, falling low enough to be someone’s bodyguard?

“Son, let’s get going!” Joan was scared. It was the first time she witnessed such a scene. However, her own son’s strength was truly amazing. A group like that was not his match.

“Let’s go. Ma, the clothes in that store would suit you…”

“Don’t bother. You’ve already spent so much money. Don’t use up all your rewards!”

“It’s fine Ma, your son wants to buy some clothes for you. Isn’t that the right thing to do?”

…

After a moment, Selena received a call. After answering it, her expression turned extremely ugly.

“What’s wrong, honey?!” Seeing that, Jack asked immediately.

“Did you beat up Ivan Taylor?” Selena’s expression was cold. Before Jack could explain, she reprimanded angrily, “Why do you like to fight so much? Yes, you’re amazing. After being a soldier for a few years, you’re now very powerful, right? You’ll just beat up whoever that offends you, isn’t it?”

“Jack, look at you. That Ivan is someone we can’t afford to offend. He’s very petty. Now that you’ve offended him, we’re not going to live in peace in the future!” Joan sighed. “Ivan is the main reason for Selena being unemployed all these while. Right now, he’s the director of Taylor Group. As long as he sends a word in the market, who would dare to attract trouble by hiring Selena?”

“But he really deserves it. If not because of his identity as a member of the Taylor family and Selena’s cousin, he would be long dead!” Jack turned expressionless, then said, “That bastard. When I came back, I didn’t know you were kicked out of the Taylor family. I met Ivan and he dared to force Kylie to eat buns that he stomped on. How could I tolerate that!?”

“What?!” Hearing that, Selena was shocked. “That bastard. He’s really going overboard. How dare he treat Kylie like that.” Having said that, she looked toward Jack, finally realizing that she had wrongfully blamed him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was for that reason that you beat him up. However, Grandpa is furious at the moment and requested for us to head over. My parents are already rushing over. They asked us to hurry up.”

“What’s there to be scared of? It’s their fault to start with. I’ve not even begun settling the matter of them kicking you guys out of the Taylor family!” Jack harrumphed, then said, “Let’s go!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 12

“Settle the matter? How do you plan to settle this? For that matter, I’m at fault too. Furthermore, Master Taylor is still my grandfather. Are you planning to beat him up?” Selena smiled bitterly, then said, “This time, you come with us and just stay quiet in a corner. After so many years, Grandpa’s temper should have improved. Maybe a few good words will stop them from pursuing this matter.”

“Alright, I’ll try my best to follow your instructions and avoid acting. Otherwise, you’ll complain that I’m being too violent!” Jack laughed bitterly. He wanted to see for himself how the people from the Taylor family would treat him without knowing his identity. Furthermore, the reason he came back this time was not to be the Supreme Warrior. He only wished to peacefully accompany his woman and care for his mother, living life comfortably.

Taking a taxi, the group of three quickly arrived at the gates of Taylor Residence.

“That brat is really brazen to actually hit Young Master Taylor. Didn’t he know that Young Master Taylor was extremely petty?”

“That’s right. I’m afraid this won’t end well. He’s just a soldier, a stinking live-in son-in-law. He should consider his own identity!”

They overheard the quiet exchange of the two guards at the gate just as they got out of the car.

However, when the guards noticed their arrival, they immediately kept quiet.

One of them smiled. “Miss Selena, you’re back. We’ll inform the Master and Old Master right away!”

“No need! We’ll go by ourselves!” Selena looked at the gate stoically with complex feelings.

She had numerous wonderful memories of her childhood here. Unexpectedly, after growing up, the Taylor family turned out to be filled with so much political intrigue. To her, the bigger surprise was the fact that she would, one day, be kicked out of this place.

After hesitating for a moment, the trio entered slowly. Just as they reached the gate of the Old Master’s villa, they could hear the voices of discussion coming from within.

“That Jack is too much. Who does he think he is to hit Ivan?!”

“That’s right. He’s just a soldier of a few years. Does he think he’s some big shot now? How can a sparrow transform into a phoenix?!”

“Most importantly, Ivan was suffering from fractured bones. I heard that he was beaten to the point of unconsciousness!” A few relatives of the Taylor family were having a heated discussion, as though Jack was a condemned sinner.

“Yes, that’s right. That brat is in the wrong. I’m so pissed!” Just as Selena was about to enter, Fiona’s voice could be heard. Selena frowned immediately. Her outstretched hand paused in the air.

Right at that moment, Fiona’s voice was heard once more, “You might not know this, but earlier today, he actually slapped Ken Clark, the Clark family’s young master, and caused him to lose three teeth!”

“Young Master Clark? That Young Master Clark that fancies your Selena all this while? He went looking for you?” Old Master Taylor could not help but ask.

“I know, right?” He thought that Jack was surely dead and hoped that Selena would divorce Jack so that he could marry Selena. Moreover, he also mentioned that he does not mind about Kylie’s incident.

“Who could’ve known that Jack would suddenly come back at that time…” Fiona grew more agitated over time. “This time, I’m afraid the Clark family won’t let it go that easily!”

Selena could not bear listening on, pushing straight through the door with Jack and Joan with her. “Ma, I won’t accept Ken’s proposal! He’s a fake gentleman. Do you really think that he would be nice to me after getting married? By that time, I don’t know how much frustration I’ll have to go through!”

“Selena, you’re finally back. If you don’t give me a proper resolution for today’s matter, I won’t let this go!” Upon seeing Jack and Selena’s arrival, Ivan, who had one hand in bandages, stared at them angrily with his eyes wide open.

“Ivan, are you without fault? You had Kylie eat the buns that you threw on the floor and stomped on. Do you think that Jack, as a father, could tolerate that?” Selena’s expression darkened, then looked at Old Master Taylor and said, “Grandpa, Jack can’t be blamed for this matter. Ivan was really going overboard.”

“Ivan, is that the case?” Old Master Taylor was not an unreasonable person. He looked at Ivan and asked slowly.

Ivan immediately retorted, “How is that possible? I was only joking and Jack coincidentally saw it. Who knew he would act without even saying anything! H-h-he even forced me to eat that bun!”

“Ivan Taylor, if you continue to spew nonsense, I’ll break your other arm!” Beside her, Jack could no longer bear to watch it. Ivan was clearly lying blatantly. Hearing those words, Ivan took a few steps back. It was obvious that he was scared. However, remembering that they were in Taylor Residence and Jack was just a live-in son-in-law, he probably would not dare do anything with this many witnesses.

With his newfound confidence, he took a step forward. “You guys take a look at how insolent this brat is. He’s just a live-in son-in-law, not even a Taylor, yet he dared to utter such words in front of everyone.” Ivan turned around and shot a look at Jack.

The words that Jack was about to say were held back. He had already caused Selena to suffer through so many years of hardships. For Selena’s sake, he did not wish to complicate matters. Furthermore, he only wanted to enjoy a peaceful life.

“Jack, you’re too brazen. If not for the one million dollars we gave you, your mother won’t be able to afford the surgery and died! Not only are you ungrateful, but you also repaid kindness with malice and treat our Taylor family this way?” One of the relatives of the Taylor family immediately started their accusations.

“That’s right. If it’s not for us, would his mother still be around?” Another elder was similarly putting up airs, acting high and mighty.

In their eyes, Jack and Joan were outsiders, penniless people of the lower class. If not for Selena being pregnant with that bastard child, Jack would have nothing to do with their Taylor family.

Right then, one of the girls from the Taylor family in her twenties, Cecilia Taylor, noticed the shopping bag in Joan’s hand. “Are my eyes playing tricks on me? That is all Gucci stuff!” Cecilia walked forward and studied Joan, who was still in her cleaner’s uniform, closely, then said disdainfully, “Did you rob or steal these?!”

With Cecilia pointing it out, everyone immediately took notice of those shopping bags. They were obviously Gucci. Was that something they could even afford?

“My son bought it for me and Selena. Although we’re poor, we have always been honorable. There’s no way we would resort to stealing or robbing!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 13

“Honorable? If you’re not wearing such clothing, I might just believe it!” Cecilia sneered, then added, “There should be a few dresses in there. From the looks of it, some were bought for Selena, right? I’m

guessing the total should be some tens of thousand dollars!”

Cecilia commented as she looked through the content. She suddenly saw a dress and took it out of the bag. “It can’t be. T-t-this is a limited edition worldwide! This dress is over a hundred thousand dollars! It’s the newest model from Gucci!”

Hearing those words, several people from the Taylor family had a shocked expression.

It was not that they could not afford that dress, but it was weird that Jack’s group could afford it.

Moreover, it was not some high-end watch or jade pieces, but just a dress. Even those from the Taylor family would think twice before spending hundreds and thousands of dollars.

“Put the dress back. I don’t want your hand dirtying Selena’s dress!” Upon seeing her taking the dress out, Jack’s expression darkened as he issued the warning.

Cecilia was astonished, then proceed to put it back into the bag. However, she soon started smiling. “I know. You must’ve bought fake goods. Tsk…tsk it does seem authentic. I almost believed it.”

The others came to a sudden realization. ‘That’s right. How can they afford international branded items? What a joke. What else could it be if not high-quality imitation?’

“Cecilia, its authenticity has nothing to do with you, does it?” This is my husband’s gift for me. As long as it’s from him, I’ll like it regardless of its authenticity!” Upon hearing the unpleasant words she had said, Selena replied sarcastically, “Unlike some people, without a boyfriend despite their advanced age. Could it be that you’re jealous of me?”

“You…” Cecilia was triggered. Although her appearance was not bad, she indeed had no boyfriend. Selena’s word caused her great discomfort. She then sneered, “I’m jealous of you? That’s rich. Should

I be jealous of you being kicked out of the Taylor family like trash? I don’t have a boyfriend because I want to find a rich man. Unlike someone, cheap enough to just marry a delivery boy.”

By that point, Cecilia added more venomous comments. “Moreover, the wedding ceremony was lackluster. There wasn’t even a betrothal gift. What a shame it was for our Taylor family.”

“So what if I’m willing? That’s none of your business. This is my own choice to make!” Selena was fighting back fiercely, almost breaking her ladylike persona.

“Sure, of course. Some people are happy with their degeneracy, what can we do about it?”

Cecilia shrugged. “Well, that kind of hardship is something this lady will never experience.”

“Enough!” Finally, Old Master Taylor roared stoically. The Old Master was quite advanced in age, but his presence silenced the room immediately. He walked up to Jack, checking him out carefully. For some reason, he felt that this young man had undergone a complete transformation. Just him standing there gave off an aura that should not be trifled with. Was he still the same young man that begged him for one million dollars to treat his mother’s disease from five years ago? He thought for a moment, then finally spoke up, “Tell me, how much money should I pay you to leave Selena alone and stop bugging her?”

The Old Master knew full well of Selena’s obsession with the child. Selena’s refusal for a divorce was definitely because of the child. However, he could do it by approaching Jack. Hearing that, Selena frowned and looked at Jack worryingly. After all, with the power of money, it was hard to say. Moreover, despite them being officially married, there were hardly any feelings between them.

Jack was silent. ‘Money? Would I care for those things now?’ Furthermore, five years ago, if not for saving his mother, he would never beg someone for merely one million dollars. “Old Master, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Selena is my woman. For me and my child, she had suffered through five years of hardship. It’s impossible for me to leave them!” Jack replied firmly with a smile.

Hearing those words, Selena’s heart was filled with warmth. The past five years of waiting was not in vain.

The Old Master quickly took out a check and signed his name, then passed it to Jack. “Our Taylor family does not like you as our live-in son-in-law. Back then, you’ve promised to fake the marriage with Selena to take Ivan’s place on the battlefield. I’m not killing you this time because of your relationship with Selena and Kylie. However, you must leave! Write whatever number you wish! You can cash it in at any bank in Eastfield. Furthermore, I can let the matter of you beating up Ivan slide!” It could be said that from the Old Master’s perspective, he had already made a huge compromise.

Upon hearing that, Ivan was furious. He quickly stepped forward and stated, “Grandpa, we can just kill him. He’s broken my arm…”

“Shut up!” Who would have thought that Old Master Taylor would turn around to yell at him? “Ivan Taylor, do you think I don’t know what you’ve done in secret? You only know that my health is in decline and rarely leave the house, isn’t it? I, Zeus Taylor, might be old, but I’m not blind. Ever since you’ve been the director, our company’s performance has been in decline for the past few years. I’m just too tired to berate you!”

Old Master Taylor then added, “I can’t be bothered with you picking on Selena as I was also angry with her giving birth to a child with him. However, Kylie is Selena’s daughter. She’s only four years old. How dare you feed her with buns that you stomped on. I can’t bear to imagine such an incident!”

“Dad, regardless, Jack can’t beat Ivan up just because of that, right? Furthermore, these are just empty accusations from Jack. Who knows if he might be lying!?” Theodore Taylor, master of the Taylor family and Ivan’s father, interjected as he stepped forward.

“Is that so? Would you dare to let me investigate the matter to see if it really happened?”

Old Master Taylor’s words shut Theodore up. He then added, “You play a big part in Ivan’s current behavior of mixing around with those questionable women. He’s under your care. We’re just a third- class aristocratic family. It took us a lot of effort to get us here. Aren’t you afraid that our Taylor family might one day be ruined in the hands of your son?”

“Grandpa, how is that possible. I go out for drinks to entertain my clients. It’s for my job!”

Ivan laughed awkwardly, then added, “Furthermore, our company’s performance is quite good for the past two months. You need to believe in me. This year, we’ll be making a huge profit and cover for our losses in the past.”

Hearing that, Jack’s heart felt a lot better. It would seem that the Old Master kicked Selena out mainly due to his annoyance of Selena marrying a nameless person like him. However, five years have passed. His anger should mostly subside. Furthermore, he was probably keeping tabs on Selena and Kylie’s situation. All in all, Old Master Taylor still cared for his granddaughter. “Here, sign it. As for the number, just write whatever you wish! With that, we’ll call it even!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 14

Old Master Taylor was having mixed feelings. Jack’s guess was almost spot on. The Old Master was a person that cared greatly about his reputation. Back then, he had Jack marry into the Taylor family to prevent Ivan from being enlisted. That itself was already something that affected the Taylor family’s reputation. He never expected an even greater shame to come later on. Jack was only married to Selena for a day when he got enlisted the very next day. However, Selena became pregnant soon after. He was aware that Selena had gotten drunk that night. He even suspected that it could have been Jack that forced himself on Selena. Never did he expect Selena to claim that it was voluntary. That matter almost gave him a heart attack. That was why, in a fit of rage, he kicked Selena, her parents, and her 14 years old brother out of the Taylor Residence. As for Selena’s inability to be employed and the restrictions placed on her, that was the work of Ivan.

“Are you sure I can write any amount?” Jack was surprised for a moment and then asked while snickering.

“Of course! Just fill it!” Seeing how Jack was really moved by money, Old Master Taylor’s heart rejoiced. Selena’s beauty was above others. Furthermore, she was talented in business matters. As long as she divorced Jack, she would have no problem looking for a wealthy partner. In fact, he heard that Young Master Clark was trying to court Selena.

“Of course, the Old Master will keep his words. Fill it in quickly!” said Fiona.

Fiona was extremely excited upon hearing their exchange. She quickly approached the dumbfounded Selena. “Daughter, look. I’ve told you that he will let you down. You wanted to keep the child for him and wait for five years. You suffered five years of hardship, yet he still ended up choosing money? This is a materialistic world!”

Selena stood there in a daze. She felt lost. All those years spent waiting, all those suffering, in the end…

“Jack, you… Are you stupid? Where else can you find such a wonderful wife? Are you really giving up your wife and daughter for money? Selena suffered five years of hardship. All those scorn and ridicule she had to endure! She even had to collect trash and gave up looking for a job!” Joan stepped forward and looked at Jack, her eyes filled with disappointment. “We can’t be heartless!”

“Ma, let him be!” Selena’s eyes were filled with despair, complete despair. The five difficult years she endured came to such a conclusion.

“You see? Selena, all men are hopeless. I’ve told you to abort the child, yet you didn’t listen!” Cecilia then added out of the blue, “Sigh, although I can’t find a boyfriend, it’s still better than you finding an undependable one!”

Selena’s eyes were tearing up. She looked at Jack, feeling hopeless. “Have you decided?”

Jack smiled. “I’ve decided!” Having said that, he started scribbling on the check. He then quickly passed the check back. “I’m done. You told me to fill it up!”

“Of course, I’ll keep my word!” Seeing Jack choosing money, Zeus’ gaze showed a hint of disappointment. At first, he had come to respect Jack a little bit more. He was thinking if Jack were to show some capabilities and treat his granddaughter well, that would also be acceptable. Unfortunately, Jack failed. However, he froze up after he looked at the check. On the check, it was written with a string of numbers, “999999999999999999…” At the end of the string of numbers, it was followed by ellipsis!

“Brat, are you trolling me?” Zeus’ expression darkened, turning extremely scary. Even Theodore, master of the Taylor family, went forward to have a look at the check, exclaiming, “Brat, what’s the meaning of this? You think this is a joke?”

“What’s the matter?” Cecilia was similarly surprised. She hurried over to take a look. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…why is it ending with an ellipsis? How much money is this?”

“Old Master Taylor, you told me to write as I like. Can you afford the figure I filled in?” At that moment, Jack burst out laughing. He approached Selena and held onto her hand, stating in a serious tone, “My wife waited five full years for me, a mere delivery boy. She suffered all those hardships, yet you’re trying to measure it with money? She’s priceless, hence you can’t afford the price I’m asking for!”

“You rascal…” Selena was trapped in between anger and amusement. However, her heart was filled with happiness. Just a second ago, she thought Jack was about to take the money and divorce her, leaving her and her daughter behind. It turns out that he had written countless nines on that check and even added ellipsis in the end.

“Let me see, let me see!” Joan was originally quite angry. Hearing the conversation, she immediately reached for the check. After taking a look, she excitedly passed it to Selena. “Selena, look! This is your

status in my son’s heart. You’re priceless!”

“Mom, I know!” Selena blushed. The few years of waiting turned out to be worth it. This man did not let her down.

“How dare you toy with our Taylor family. Jack, you’re courting death. Guards, cripple him, and throw him out of here!” Theodore stepped forward and bellowed in rage.

“Is this a fight? I’m sorry, but I’m very good at that now!” Jack replied after hearing that. He then stated with a smile on his face, “In the past five years, I’m not sure how many mountains will form from the enemies that I’ve killed. There were many experts within their ranks, yet they all died in my hands. There were a few times I almost died, but I managed to survive because I know that someone is waiting for me back home. I can’t die!” When Jack made his statement, he gave off a strong aura. As he stood there, he seemed like a king. “Today, I’ll let those who dare to act against me know what it’s like to make a grave mistake!”

“What did I tell you before coming over?” Surprisingly, Selena’s face turned dark as she reprimanded Jack in a menacing voice. She felt that ever since Jack had been a soldier, he had grown more capable. However, he was just too boastful. Moreover, they were in the Taylor family. He was just a live-in son-in-law. How could he take action against her own family members? Jack finally remembered his promise with Selena and immediately changed to an awkward laugh. “Um, I’m just joking!”

However, the bodyguards outside the door had already rushed in.

“Get out!” Just as the bodyguards were about to act, Old Master Taylor gave a stern order.

The bodyguards exchanged glances, then quickly went out.

“Dad, this brat is toying with us. Can’t you see that?” Theodore was extremely frustrated. However, they could not disobey the Old Master’s orders. Although he was the master of this household and his

son was the director of Taylor Group, the Old Master was the one truly in charge. All important matters of the Taylor family had to go through him.

“He’s not toying with us. I did tell him to fill as he wished. It’s just that we can’t afford that price!”

Old Master Taylor laughed bitterly, then spoke, “Jack, this has gone on for five years. My granddaughter had also suffered many hardships. Since you’re both truly in love and Kylie has grown, I’m fine with not forcing you through a divorce!” Having said that, Old Master Taylor’s tone took a sudden change. “However…”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 15

“This can’t be. Grandpa is acknowledging Jack’s identity as the son-in-law of the Taylor family?” Upon hearing the Old Master’s words, some of the Taylor family members had a shocked expression on their faces.

‘Grandpa used to pamper Selena. It’d seem that Grandpa’s anger had subsided after all these years. Within Selena’s body still flows the blood of our Taylor family, after all.’ A member of the Taylor family speculated quietly in his mind.

“Grandpa!” Selena pursed her red lips and felt her tears surfacing. She knew her grandfather had been keeping tabs on her in secret. The old man was only unable to lower himself all this while. For Zeus Taylor, his reputation was more important than anything else.

“However?” Jack scowled. He knew that it would not be that simple.

“However, the matter of you injuring Ivan’s arm can’t be settled just like that!” The old man’s tone changed once more as he continued, “You need to pay compensation!”

“That’s right. Grandpa’s right. My arm is fractured. The doctor said that my arm will take at least one to two months to recover, and that’s with the best medicine!” Due to the Old Master’s lecture earlier, Ivan had been standing in silence all the while. Now that his grandfather was speaking up for him, he immediately rejoiced.

“How about this: I’ll give you one month’s time, Jack. One month later is coincidentally my seventieth birthday. If you can come up with ten million dollars in a month, I’ll acknowledge that you’re the Taylor family’s son-in-law! However, if you fail to produce the money, then you’ll have to divorce Selena as that would prove that you lack the ability, unworthy of being with Selena! Furthermore, Ivan’s hand is rendered in such a state because of you. You need to compensate him with ten million dollars! How’s that?” The Old Master stared at Jack and declared authoritatively.

“Grandpa, aren’t you intentionally making it difficult for him? He was just a delivery boy. Now that he’s a soldier for five years and returned from the battlefield, how can he cough up that amount of money in one month!?” Selena was worried when she heard the proposition. What difference was that from chasing Jack away? It was just a different method.

“Old Master, can you lower the amount? That’s too much. He can’t even produce one million dollars, much less ten million dollars!” Joan’s expression was ugly. She did not wish to miss her chance on such a wonderful daughter-in-law.

“No reduction. If he can’t even produce ten million dollars, how can he be worthy of my daughter?” It was Fiona who interjected strongly. She then pushed on, “Hmph! If he can earn ten million, that can be the betrothal gift for my daughter. When the time comes, that money must be passed to me, or I’ll never recognize him as our son-in-law!”

“That won’t work.” Ivan spoke up, “If he can produce ten million dollars, I should be getting it as compensation. I can’t just get hit for nothing, can I?”

“No way. Your treatment won’t total up to ten million!” There was no way Fiona would let this go. She had suffered in poverty for so many years. If she had ten million dollars, she could live her life comfortably.

“The ten million that Grandpa mentioned was for compensation, not a betrothal gift. Can’t you understand?” Ivan laughed happily. His words managed to stump Fiona.

“In one month, right?” Jack contemplated, then stated, “How about this. One month from now, on Grandpa’s seventieth birthday, I’ll pay Ivan ten million dollars for compensation, send another ten million to Mother-in-law as a betrothal gift, and on top of that, send ten million worth of birthday gifts to Grandpa! A grand total of thirty million dollars. If I can’t achieve that, I’ll be willing to divorce Selena!”

“Are you crazy? That much money in one month? You won’t have enough even if you sold yourself!” Joan was scared witless. She guessed that Jack must have been pushed over the limit and started talking nonsense.

“You can’t be serious, right? Didn’t I tell you not to boast?! Thirty million dollars! It’s not three thousand dollars!” Selena was also reprimanding him anxiously.

“Don’t worry, honey, I really should prove to the Taylors that I’m worthy of marrying you!” Jack moved his hand and caressed Selena’s beautiful cheeks. “I won’t let anything separate me from you and our daughter!”

Selena’s heart was touched. At that moment, she felt confident that Jack was not lying to her. “Alright, I’ll believe you!” In the end, Selena nodded. “Of course. Jack, if you managed to do so, the Taylor family will not only acknowledge your identity! We can also have your in-laws, Selena, and your entire family—including your mother—to move into Taylor Residence!”

The old man contemplated for a moment, then said, “By then, Selena can also resume her work in Taylor Group!”

“Alright. You have a deal!” Jack agreed immediately.

“Brat, you’re really good at boasting. I’d like to see how embarrassing it’ll be for you should you fail to produce the money by then!” Ivan took two steps forward and glared at Jack.

Jack took out a stick of cigarette and casually lit it. He took a deep breath. “And what if I managed to do it? If I fail, I’ll roll my way out of the gates of Taylor Residence. Should I succeed, however, you’ll have to kneel and apologize to Selena. How does that sound? After all, in the past five years, you’ve done quite the harm!”

“sure. Listen up, everyone. This is a promise between me and this brat! Since he wants to embarrass himself, then I can only oblige. When the time comes, we’ll all bear witness to how he rolls from this gate all the way out. Remember, you’re not walking out, but roll!” Ivan laughed out loud. ‘It’s already a miracle for this trash to come back alive. Producing thirty million dollars in a month? Dream on!’

“Brother Ivan, don’t worry, we’re not deaf. We heard it clearly. We’ll be your witnesses!” Cecilia crossed her hands over her chest and gave Jack a condescending look. “It’s been five years. After finally coming back and managed to buy some clothes for your mother and wife, you chose to get some imitation items. Your clothings scream of poverty. I refuse to believe that you can produce thirty million dollars!”

“you’re right!”

“I think he knows that he’s unworthy of Selena and decided to go all out with his bluff. When the time comes, he can only shamefully roll out of Taylor Residence!”

“Look at him. If he can earn thirty million dollars in one month, then can’t I easily set a hundred million as a small goal?”

Quite a number of the Taylor family members started laughing.

There were quite a lot of people present. They were mostly working in the Taylor Group, under the employ of Ivan Taylor. They naturally intended to curry favor for him.

“Jack, you’ve said it yourself. I’m waiting for your ten million as a betrothal gift. When the time comes, don’t blame me for being merciless!” Fiona reminded him after contemplating it.

“Fiona, have you gone crazy thinking of money? Do you really think that he can come up with that amount for his betrothal gift?” Ivan smiled.

“Just ten million dollars as a betrothal gift will allow me to marry Selena? I’ll pay ten million dollars. Let her marry me! If that’s insufficient, I’m fine with fifty million dollars! What to do when I’m not lacking money?” Right at that moment, a man of stout physique walked in as he laughed loudly, followed by a group of bodyguards.

“Young Master Wilson, what are you doing here?” Ivan greeted the Wilson family’s young master the moment he noticed him.

“What did you say earlier, Young Master Wilson? Fifty million? You’re willing to offer a fifty million dollars reward?” Overwhelmed with emotions, Fiona’s eyes lit up. “Is your word good?” she sputtered.

One should know that the Wilsons and the Clarks were both second-class aristocratic families. Simply put, they were significantly wealthier than their Taylor family.

“Of course, Auntie. Do we look like people who’d go back on their word? I’m still a member of the Wilson family, my word is still good!” Young Master Wilson chuckled as he spoke, yet he was simultaneously admiring the seemingly perfect appearance of Selena. He could not hold himself back as he gulped. Young Master Wilson was extremely fat; so much so that he resembled a pig. Not only was he extremely gluttonous, but he was very interested in women as well. He was instantly charmed

back when he first laid eyes on Selena and her ethereal beauty. When he learned of her marriage to a takeout delivery guy in addition to being pregnant at a later time, he was all too furious. Even so, Selena’s beauty did not fade even after she gave birth; she looked even more beautiful and mature. Her body was practically glowing with femininity. He would do everything to keep her all to himself. Moreover, Selena was known as the most beautiful maiden in the Eastfield. Marrying her would be an incredible and proud feat in front of other men.

“Splendid. I’ll hold you to your word!” Fiona clapped her hands, chuckling as she approached Selena. “Did you hear that, Selena?” she spoke. “That person, Jack, mentioned ten million. This Young Master Wilson fellow instead offered to pay fifty million dollars, and he had always been interested in you. He’s not too bad himself, the way I see it. You should give it some thought. All you need to do is nod and we’ll make he, Jack, leave immediately!”

The instant Selena heard that statement, she nearly passed out from agitation. She could barely hold her composure just by looking at Young Master Wilson’s appearance. Although that Young Master Clark fellow was not a pleasant man, he was handsome at least. That man from the Wilson family looked fat and his ears were too huge. She felt greasy just by staring at him.

She then argued, “Ma, are you marrying off your daughter or selling her? So, you’ll just hand off your daughter to whoever is offering the highest price? Why don’t you just auction me off then?” Selena furiously added, “Even Grandpa agreed to let me marry Jack, and the agreement was even set earlier. How can you simply act on your own and change it as you like?”

“Selena, that’s not what I meant. That Jack fellow is a takeout delivery boy, and he’s only been a soldier for a few years now. You don’t expect him to amount to anything, do you now?” As she finished, Fiona pointed her disdainful glare at Jack before she continued, “I wasn’t looking down on him. I wonder: can he make thirty million dollars in a month? Hehe! Just you wait. He won’t be able to make that much money after a month. Till then, I’ll have him exiled from our family!”

“Jack White? Good lord, this person is Jack White? Kylie’s useless father has returned?” Stunned Young Master Wilson carefully scrutinized Jack. “It seems like his appearance is the only thing that’s going for him,” he spoke. “He’s dressed so plainly. How is he worthy of Miss Selena?”

“You sure spout a lot of nonsense!” Jack glared at him icily. He condescendingly spoke, “This is the Taylor family home. What are you, an outsider, doing here? If you have no purpose here, then beat it!”

“Such strong words. Don’t you know just how major of a family us Wilsons are?” Young Master Wilson cackled out loud then added, “Am I really here without a purpose? I’m here to discuss the matters of our collaboration with Young Master Taylor. We happen to have something that we’d like to work together with the Taylors!”

The moment Old Master Taylor heard that statement, he was naturally pleased as he said, “All that come by are guests. Let’s sit here, Young Master Wilson!”

“There’s no need, Old Master Taylor. I’ll be talking to Young Master Wilson!” Young Master Wilson then looked at Ivan before he spoke with a very peculiar expression, “Young Master Ivan, what’s wrong with your hand? Did you fight with someone? Who dares fight with you?”

Ivan’s expression grew incredibly bitter as he eyeballed Jack. Hoarsely, he replied, “A mad man, nothing else. I was merely joking with his daughter Kylie, and he came over to beat me up without saying a word.” novelbin

Micheal Wilson was stunned after hearing that statement. He spoke after looking at Jack, “Oh, so it was that useless object, then. Truly unexpected that he was bold enough to hit you. He’s got guts, I’ll give him that!”

“It’s fine. We had a bet. He said that after a month on my grandfather’s seventieth birthday, he’ll give me ten million dollars as reimbursement! In addition to offering Selena’s family a ten million dollars reward, he’ll also give my grandfather a gift worth ten million dollars! Should he fail, he’ll exile himself

out of the Taylor family and divorce Selena! He’ll roll out the front door from this spot!” Ivan cackled out loud and said, “That’s right, Young Master Wilson. You have to come by during our grandfather’s seventieth birthday. You have to see how this little brat will roll out of the front door!”

“Alright. The distance from here to the front door is quite far. I’m guessing he won’t be able to roll out of it very quickly!” Young Master Wilson cackled and took a look at Selena. He then said, “Don’t you worry, Selena. All I have is time, and I’m willing to wait for you. You’ll have your freedom once again after this little brat is exiled from the Taylor family after a month, and that means you’ll be single. When the day comes, don’t turn me away!”

“Alright, let’s go, Young Master Wilson. We still have important matters to discuss!” Ivan had a smug look on his face. He was beaten rather badly by Jack today, but if he could get this brat exiled from the family, it would be the best thing that could ever happen! He believed that Jack was nothing but a ruffian. He was merely saying that to preserve his pride. He was actually interested to see how much this brat would humiliate himself when the time arrived. Ivan soon left with Young Master Wilson!

“Alright, you guys can leave as well. Don’t disappoint me in a month from now!” Old Master Taylor realized it was getting late outside as he waved his hand impatiently. Although Jack’s behavior was a little out of his expectations, the thought of his granddaughter getting married to a poor man—which humiliated him—dissatisfied him so.

At this very moment, in an extremely lavish mansion, the wealthiest man in all of the Eastfield, James Drake was looking at a middle-aged man. After some thought, he said, “The man who returned with the God of War, Lana is called Jack White. I’m guessing that their relationship isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface. Look into it for me! I want an answer as soon as possible!”

The man in front of him was James’s most efficient assistant. He had served the Drake family incredibly well.

After he listened to that statement, he frowned and said, “Master, I think there’s no need for that. Even if that man has some ties to the God of War, Lana, he doesn’t possess any useful value to us, right?”

As he said that, he smiled and said, “Why don’t we strike at the very root of our problem, to butter up the great God of War. That’s the most important thing to us!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 17

As James listened to what his staff had to say, he could not hold back his bitter chuckle. “The Gods of Wars are way above our status, and they’re not easy to butter up,” he stated. “Not to mention, this is a female God of War. We don’t even know what she likes and dislikes!”

He paused when that point was brought up. He continued, “I’m afraid all of the major powerhouses wanted nothing more than to sweet-talk to the God of War upon her return. Fortunately, we went through so much to learn of her flight today, and it seems the other powerhouses knew absolutely nothing.”

The middle-aged man in front of him nodded his head and said, “The gift we sent for the God of War Lana, did she accept it?”

“She accepted the hospitality we arranged for her. It’s a different story for the money, though. She was quite disinterested with it!”

James chuckled and said, “Lana seems to dislike it when people try to flatter her. Not to mention, we have no idea how exactly we can cajole her.”

The middle-aged man remained silent for a brief moment. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up as he spoke, “Master, so what you meant was, since that Jack fellow shares quite the unique relationship with Lana, all we need to do is butter up Jack. This, in turn, would be an indirect way of flattering the God of War.

Thus, if the God of War only grants our family her blessing in the future, wouldn’t this make our business more stable?”

James nodded slowly and replied, “Yes. That man was able to sit in the same plane with Lana when they returned. All we need to do is help Jack, since that would mean we’re also wooing Lana!”

“Bravo, Master!”

The nickname for the middle-aged man was called Spectre, and he happened to be one of the Three Major Guardians in the Drake family. With a smile etched on his face, he then spoke, “Hmm. This God of War happens to be a female and, from how I see it, she isn’t young at all…”

James frowned after hearing that statement. “Spectre,” he started, “you’re not thinking of making a move on her to make her your woman now, are you? You best keep that thought to yourself. Should you offend her and the God of War gets furious, not only is our Drake family, but the entire Eastfield will end up as a river of blood in a single night!”

Spectre let out a bitter laugh as he said, “Master, how would I dare to even have that thought? Besides, I am not the kind of person to toy with a woman’s feelings just for my future benefit now, right? A man who uses a woman to further their reputation is someone I would be the first person to look down on!”

Upon making that statement, Spectre explained, “What I mean is, Jack isn’t Lana’s man now, is he? Perhaps there’s also a possibility of them sharing an intimate relationship! Besides, they’ve known each other for a very long period in the fields of war. And they see each other very often…”

“That’s very unlikely. Judging by how they both behaved, they seemed very cold to one another. They have quite the cold face on them; could that even spark any romance?” James chuckled and, after a brief pause, continued, “No matter what, just look into them. It doesn’t matter if he’s only a staff to Lana. We still have to butter them up; this will surely strengthen our bond with the God of War!”

“No problem. Recently, numerous military veterans are coming out of retirement in Eastfield. There are also many high-ranking and well-achieved soldiers among them. Go visit them and have someone look into that Jack fellow.”

Spectre nodded as he beamed, “Now that Master has mentioned it, I’m starting to get interested in that man! I hope he won’t disappoint me!”

“Good! I’ll await your good news!” James spoke with a chuckle.

…

At this very moment, in a random room within the Clark family home, Ken was seething with rage. He stared furiously at Dan in front of him and barked, “What’s the meaning of this, Dan? Why didn’t you teach he, Jack, a lesson? Not only that, but you had someone carry me away. Do you have any idea how humiliating that was to me?”

As he spoke, he pointed at his mouth and said, “Look, my teeth have been completely smashed. Goddamnit! When have I, Ken Clark, ever endured such humiliation!”

“Young Master, that man isn’t as simple as you imagine. I’m no match for him!” Dan frowned and spoke in an all too serious tone, “He murdered the Black Dragon. I was told by witnesses present in that scene; they didn’t even notice him so much as move a muscle before he dropped dead!”

“That has to be impossible, right? Don’t we have surveillance cameras? Why can’t we get clear footage of how he made his move?” After Ken heard what he said, his expression was in disbelief.

“I’ve already looked into it and have even slowed down the footage, all to no avail!” Dan let out a bitter laugh and added, “Still, we know that he was directly pierced in-between his eyes. We found an extremely thin silver needle on top of a pillar a good distance away. Moreover, the silver needle completely pierced through the pillar. There are only one to two millimeters exposed out of the pillar!”

Young Master Ken took a deep breath and said, “You’re joking, right? You’re telling me that after a person’s head was pierced, it also pierced through a stone pillar, and all that’s left was a tiny bit exposed on the outside? Such an incredible speed and insane strength!”

“This finger of mine, well, I lost a bet to him, and I chopped it off as a result! This person is way too terrifying! Young Master, don’t ever cross this Jack White, do you understand?” Dan raised his hand and said, “Arm-wrestling with him made me feel like I’m a mere ant compared to him with the strength he had.”

“That’s got to be impossible, isn’t it? There’s someone that powerful in this world? You’re already incredibly powerful; how much more powerful can he be compared to you?” Ken was completely stunned. If that was the case, would it be that getting Selena was a mere dream?

“Yeah, this was also the first time for me to have ever met someone this terrifyingly powerful!” Dan lamented as he left swiftly.

Young Master Ken sat on the floor after Dan had left him be. The moment he thought about the beautiful Selena, his heart felt incredibly dissatisfied. “Goddamnit. I refuse to believe it. This is the Eastfield, and we Clarks happened to be a second-class aristocratic family. Is it that difficult for us to get one woman?” Ken clenched his fist while a glimmer of determination flashed across his eyes. He said, “Selena Taylor, I’ll do everything I can to get you to lay in my bed obediently!”

…

At this moment, Jack, Selena and the others had all left the Taylor family home.

“Jack, those things were words you spouted earlier on your own. I don’t care about anything else. If you don’t give me ten million dollars on the old man’s seventieth birthday, it won’t be easy for you to be our family’s son-in-law now!” When they had just got out the door, Fiona could not hold herself back from

furiously saying, “You’ve already seen our Selena is up for grabs as usual. Even Young Master Wilson had said it himself; all Selena needs to do is nod and fifty million dollars won’t be a problem for him.”

“Don’t you worry, Mom. Anything I say, I’ll pull it off with ease.” Jack let out a bitter laugh as he looked at the elderly couple. He then added, “That’s right, Mom and Dad. You’ve both been living frugally in these five years, so let me bring you guys out to shop for a few sets of new clothes now. It’s a little something from me, as a son-in-law!”

“Forget it. I’m afraid that the clothes you’d buy would shame me in public. It’s better for you to not buy me anything than a good knock-off. I want to wear branded clothes!”

Fiona noticed the clothes Selena had in her hands. She immediately snatched it before she could react and walked to a nearby lake not far from there and immediately tossed it in. “You can’t undersell yourself this way, my girl,” she barked. “You happen to be the lady of the Taylor family. We have to maintain our pride, even though we’re poor. Such imitations aren’t something worthwhile to wear!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 18

Selena initially thought her mother would help her carry the clothes in her hands when she snatched and tossed them into the lake. It was already too late by the time she came to her senses. Those three sets of clothes that cost nearly two hundred thousand had been audaciously tossed into the lake beside her.

“What on Earth are you doing, Ma? Those were authentic! Who told you they were fake?” Selena was so agitated that she stomped. Alarmed, she rushed over as her eyes grew red and she seemed like she was about to cry. It was the first time Jack had gotten her clothes. After all the hardships she had endured for the five years they were married, she finally had a taste of luxury. This meant her endurance for the past five years was not for nothing!

“Authentic? How are those even genuine? And if they truly were, can he even afford them?” The skeptical Fiona crossed her arms at her chest. She was unconvinced that Jack had that much money to have bought Gucci branded clothes for her daughter.

“Dear mother-in-law, those were truly genuine. We bought them at the Gucci store. They can’t possibly be fake now, right?” Jack said.

Joan, who stood at the side, finally burst, “How could you toss clothes that cost nearly two hundred thousand into the lake?!”

“No, I must retrieve them!” The already frantic Selena was prepared to dive into the lake and retrieve the clothes. Fortunately, the lake was clear; she could start wearing the clothes after a good wash once she retrieved them. Jack watched Selena’s every move and felt his heart wrench. Selena was only twenty. She even contributed greatly to her family’s company at a young age— five years ago—being the lady from the Taylor family. Selena, back then, was adorned with branded clothes and had enjoyed being treated as a reputable lady. Yet, here she was, in an attempt to dive into the lake merely to retrieve those few pieces of clothing.

Jack took two steps forward and immediately grabbed onto Selena. “Forget about them, my dear,” he called out, “they’re only three pieces of clothing anyway. I’ll bring you out and buy you another one!”

Selena was unmoved. “No,” she protested. “These clothes are so expensive, and the money you earned has risked your life. Not to mention, this is the first time you bought me clothes. I have to fish them up, and they can still be worn, too!”

Jack chuckled as he heard that statement. He felt utterly touched; he thought that having a wife like her would make him a happy man for the rest of his life. As he released her hand, Jack dove into the lake and picked up the clothes. He was drenched head to toe, but the words Selena spoke to him warmed his heart.

“No way. They’re actually authentic?” As the shocked Fiona saw the event unfolding before her, she looked toward Joan and sputtered, “Where’d your son get the money from?”

Joan let out a bitter laugh before she responded, “It’s all thanks to the five years my son has served as a soldier. When he was discharged this time and upon his return, he was given some prize money from being discharged. He used that money to buy us clothes, didn’t he? Although the money he earned had placed him at great risk, he willingly spent it all for Selena!”

“I…” Fiona was completely speechless. She did not expect those clothes were genuine Gucci clothes.

“You’re hopeless. It doesn’t matter if it’s authentic or not; you can’t just toss it into the lake! It came from Jack’s thoughtfulness!” Even the usually silent Andrew could not help but glare at Fiona.

Jack was already out of the lake at this moment. He looked at Andrew before saying, “Let’s head back now, father-in-law. Your leg was smashed by accident. Don’t you worry, though, I can help you heal!”

“That’s impossible, right?” Andrew’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that statement. He frowned after that and said, “When we went to get it checked in a well-known hospital, the doctor mentioned that it’ll still limp even after it’s treated. This is a nerve problem, and the bones underneath are all progressively necrotic. Even as I’m walking now, I feel numb!”

“What nonsense are you spouting? You, a useless piece of trash, know medical treatment? I’ll never believe you!” Fiona, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Jack and barked, “Jack, don’t you dare think that we’d accept you just by giving the prize money this time and buying a few clothes for my daughter. I’m telling you now: it’s not happening!”

Fiona then fell into a momentary silence before she continued her tirade, “We’ve endured so much hardship all these years. How is this small amount of money enough for us? Besides, based on reason, you’re required to give the ten million prize money to us during the old man’s seventieth birthday. Otherwise, don’t even think for a second that we’ll acknowledge you!”

“What on Earth are you saying, Mom?! He’s still Kylie’s father, and the child can’t live without a father. Besides, he’s a responsible man!” Selena stared at Fiona furiously. “It doesn’t matter if you guys acknowledge him or not,” she added, “as in my heart, he’s my—Selena Taylor’s—man. Even if you have him exiled from the Taylor family, I’ll never marry Young Master Clark or Young Master Wilson. From how I see it, those people aren’t even a fraction of a man Jack is.”

“You—” Fiona was livid. She pointed at Selena and said, “How did I give birth to a daughter like you? You’re being disrespectful now, do you understand? Are you here to pressure your mother to death? Are you only satisfied when I’m dead after being backed into a corner?”

“I—that’s not what I meant! You can’t always force me, you know?” Selena could only hold back her frustrations when she noticed her mother lamenting on the side. “Fine. Stop talking about it, Ma. This whole ordeal is my fault, I admit it!”

“I—Jack White—am a man, and I’ll never go back on any word I’ve said. I’ll give you ten million when the time comes, and I’ll never let Selena be parted from me!” Jack then let out a dry laugh and said, “Alright, it’s getting late now. Let’s all go back to take a shower, change into fresh clothes, and we’ll all eat out tonight.”

Fiona’s eyes lit up at the mere mention of eating out. They had lived meagerly for the last five years and Selena was restricted to find work. She could only rely on the money she made from picking up trash for her family’s living. Aside from Selena, all the expenses they had were paid with Andrew’s earnings. His monthly pay was not much, but he forked everything out every month to allow Selena to buy groceries. They lived as they saved. Hence, Fiona actually felt quite happy when she heard that.

Just like before, however, her expression turned cold as she scoffed, “Are you sure about eating out? I’m telling you now, I won’t accept places that are considered low-class. If you want me to come along, it should only be a lavishly high-class restaurant!”

“Of course. As long you’re willing, Mom. Anywhere you pick is fine!” Jack chuckled then hailed two cabs. “Let’s go,” he spoke. “We’ll head back first since Kylie and Jenny are both waiting for us. I think the little rascal should be famished by now. Have Jenny be at our home next time. She can help us take care of Kylie and clean up the house.”

Fiona rolled her eyes at Jack. She said, “Don’t call me Mom. If I don’t see the ten million prize money, I’ll never acknowledge you as our family’s son in law. Hmph!”

Selena, on the other hand, was frowning. “Jenny is quite good, but the wages our Taylor family offers aren’t too low either,” she mumbled. “It’d cost six to seven thousand dollars per month. We can’t afford that!”

“Don’t you worry, I’ll take care of the money. It’s almost the start of the school’s semester, too, so we should enroll Kylie to a school soon!” Jack chuckled as he made that statement.

“Yeah!” Selena nodded.

It did not take too long for them to reach home with their cabs.

…

At this very moment, one of the three guardians in the Drake family—Spectre—rushed frantically to look for James after receiving a phone call.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 19

“Master, Master! I’ve made several phone calls, and I finally found something about the whole situation with Jack. It’s very peculiar!” Spectre called out to James as he rushed in frantically.

“Peculiar?” James was somewhat startled when he heard what Spectre had to say. He never thought he would describe Jack as ‘peculiar’.

“Have a look. This is the information I got from people I tasked in the military to look into Jack White. There’s only his name, his ID number, and his past job as a takeout delivery boy. After that, he became the son-in-law of the Taylor family. He got enlisted on the second day of his marriage, and what happens after that is something we can’t find. Suddenly, five years later, he returned to the Eastfield!”

Spectre frowned and said, “Isn’t such a casefile peculiar? Not only was information during his enlistment a mystery, but the department he was enlisted in was unknown as well. All we could find was that his mother’s name is Joan Xavier, currently working as a cleaner in Eastfield. We have nothing on his father!”

“Can’t find anything about his father, and his situation during his enlistment is also a complete mystery…” There was a frown on his face, but James soon came to a deduction. “Judging from the looks of it, there’s a huge possibility that someone had intentionally erased all records about him!” he articulated. “Or perhaps, this is just his surface-level casefile and that his identity isn’t that simple. There might be a very confidential and secretive casefile on him!”

“Master, if that’s the case, this man’s identity is certainly not that simple. Otherwise, the government wouldn’t blatantly hide his casefile and stop anyone from digging into him!”

The astounded Spectre remarked, “To have power for movement of this scale… If he wasn’t a God of War, he’d be close to one!”

“Yes, yes, yes! It has to be that!” Stirred, James nodded immediately and ordered, “Go, continue your search on Jack’s current situation in Eastfield. Isn’t he living with the Taylor family? Look into how Jack is doing while he lives in the Taylor family home, and look into what he’s doing right now!”

“Not a problem, Master. I, too, feel that this man isn’t as plain as we think!”

Spectre nodded immediately as he said, “It seems that there’s not just one God of War that has returned to Eastfield this time. There are two!”

“This is such a good opportunity for us, the Drake family!” James chuckled humorously. Racking his brain for a moment, he then spoke, “Look into where he currently is right now. I can’t get in contact with him right now. Besides, he’s seen me during the day, and he might suspect that we’re investigating him if he sees me again at night. Still, we can arrange for Titus or Tanner to get in contact with him!”

Spectre tittered. “Excellent idea. I’ll have it arranged right now! As for his situation in the Taylor family’s home, we can slowly investigate and probe progressively. I believe we can find out his current whereabouts in less than an hour!”

…

It was only after Jack returned to his home did he recall something. Frowning, he asked, “My dear, where will I be sleeping tonight?”

Selena blushed after hearing that. That would actually be a problem. Both of them were married; they still had a daughter. It was during their wedding night, when Selena was drunk, that they did the deed. Selena remained silent for a really long while as she had no idea how to answer him.

Upon noticing the distraught look on Selena’s face, Jack mirthfully spoke, “Don’t worry, I’ll sleep in any empty rooms!”

Selena frowned and said, “There are only so many rooms in total. Your mom has one, and so does my mom. Although it’s rare for my brother to return, he has one as well. Kylie and I are sharing a room. Four rooms and not a single one remains. Fortunately, Jenny is renting a house outside. Otherwise, she herself won’t have room to sleep in!”

Jack was embarrassed as he replied with a bitter laugh, “The storeroom is also fine. As long as it provides cover from wind and rain. When we were on a mission out there back then, we survived for a month’s time on a deserted island.”

“Deserted island!” After Selena heard that, she frowned and said, “It had to be hard for you, right?”

“No. I’d always be thinking that I have such a beautiful wife waiting at home for me should we be victorious. With that thought in mind, I’d be motivated!” Jack looked at Selena who was right in front of him; the hellish torture he endured for five years was worth every second. Five years of absolute hell had honed him into a sharp blade. This sharp blade, however, had to hide its edges to protect his woman and family.

Selena felt utterly gratified after she heard what Jack had to say. She was a rebel against her family from the very beginning, but she soon realized she was unable to part with the child inside her belly. Now, Jack made her feel that she could depend on him.

“You… I think you should just share a room with us!” Selena finally pouted her lips as her blush seared.

Jack coughed. “Well then, dear wife, can I cuddle with you while I sleep?” Jack became giddy as the woman before him was absolutely gentle and kind. Selena’s watery eyes could charm anyone.

“No. Allowing you to share a room with me is pretty good on its own. The child was an accident back then and, besides, I can’t fully accept you now. Not yet!” Selena turned around then said, “You can only sleep on the floor with a carpet. Wait…wait till our relationship grows much deeper in the future, and I’ll think about then! Hurry up and take a shower. Kylie’s delighted when she heard that we’ll have a feast tonight.”

“Alright, I’ll get to it right now!”

Unexpectedly, just as Jack had just gone to take a shower, Fiona came over to Selena’s room. She then coldly asked, “There aren’t any extra rooms, so where will Jack be sleeping tonight?”

“On the floor. Am I not placing the carpet down now?” Selena let out a bitter laugh as she took the covers out.

Upon noticing that, Fiona’s expression recovered slightly. She then said, “Daughter, you can’t ever allow that bastard child to touch you now, do you understand? If it wasn’t for him, we won’t be living in such a hellish state. Besides, as long as I’ve not seen the promised ten million, you can’t sell yourself short. Do you understand? Men will never appreciate anything they can easily get!”

“You’re being too judgemental now, don’t you think, Ma? From how I see it, as long as Jack treats us well and if we work hard together, everything would be better!” Selena pondered for a moment then added, “Besides, he’s not too bad. He treats me well, he treats Kylie well, and he’s also very respectful toward his mother!”

“What’s good without money? Can he treat you well, feed our family with good food, dress better, and live better? Only by giving us money to spend is he treating you well, not by saying a couple of kind statements!” After Fiona finished her harangue, she got out immediately after slamming the door. “I don’t care,” she sneered. “Since he mentioned that he’ll be treating us to dinner tonight, I want to make it extremely difficult for him! I want him to know, he can’t afford to treat us!”

“Yay, yay! We can go for a meal now!” Kylie was dressed in a beautiful mini princess dress while she pranced delightfully in the courtyard.

“Madam, I won’t be joining you guys. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.” Jenny smiled at Selena.

“A date with your boyfriend again? Oh, you. Hurry up and go!” Selena spoke with a compassionate smile.

Joan had already finished her shower at that moment. She changed into the new clothes Jack had bought for her; she looked younger at a short glance. Although she was already in her forties, she looked younger and more elegant. Joan looked effortlessly beautiful, and she had her natural elegance

as well. Although she was usually dressed in her cleaner’s uniform to work, she still emanated a personal grace that only belonged to her and no one else. It was also this reason that Jack’s father fell in love with her back then. Unfortunately…

“Ma, you look pretty in that dress!” Selena smiled as she took a look at Joan.

“Oh, you. Stop flattering me; I’m already old!” Joan chuckled while she spoke.

Fiona who was sitting on the side could not hold herself back from mumbling while she witnessed that scene. “Am I her birth mother, or is she?” she mumbled. “Goddamnit…”

Andrew, on the other hand, was smoking. He had a frown on his face as he seemed to be lost in thoughts. After a moment, he nudged Fiona next to him with his elbow and said, “Say, Jack said he can heal my leg. Do you think it’s possible?”

Fiona immediately said, “You actually believe the nonsense he sputtered? Don’t you know anything about him? He’s only a soldier, so is he capable of healing your leg? I think it’s more likely that he’ll break your leg!”

Andrew was speechless. Embarrassed, he found himself unable to argue.

Fiona then looked at the direction of the washroom and spoke impatiently. “How is he taking such a long shower? I’m already famished!”

Andrew took a look at the time and said, “It’s only been five minutes, though. You were taking a shower for half an hour earlier…”

Although this courtyard seemed old and disheveled, it was in a strategic location. After Jack was done with his shower, a few of them began to discuss where to eat while they strolled.

“Hmm, not this one. It’s too cheap. It’s not enough!”

“This one is even worse. A public buffet? Meaningless!”

As she strolled, Fiona intentionally looked at Jack with disdainful eyes while she goaded him, “Jack, you suggested treating us to a meal. I want to eat in a better restaurant. Have you brought enough money? Don’t bail on us after we’re done with our meal!”

“Don’t worry. Today’s my first time treating everyone to a meal, so we should all be happy. My dear mother-in-law, just pick as you please, and eat to your heart’s content!” Jack then turned to Kylie, who was in Selena’s arms. He then reached out and said, “Kylie, let Daddy carry you for a bit!”

The flustered Kylie looked toward Selena with her pair of huge sharp eyes, seemingly asking for her approval. “Kylie, he’s your father. Hurry and call out to your father. Let him carry you.”

Selena felt her emotions stirred. She lamented at the fact that a child could not be without a father. On the day her child was born, she started her long journey of waiting. She was internally terrified. She was afraid of Jack dying on the battlefield.

“Da—Daddy!” Kylie reached out and called out to her father with her child-like voice.

As a Supreme Warrior, Jack’s heart wrenched the second he heard her innocent voice. It was the first time she called him ‘daddy’. In the five years of constant battle, he felt like he had slowly become downright merciless and cold-blooded. However, he never expected his heart would soften after just hearing his daughter calling him daddy in such a sweet way.

“Let’s eat here. This place seems alright!” Just as Jack was carrying Kylie, Fiona noticed an impressive looking restaurant. Although it was not in some fancy hotel, the style of this restaurant looked impressive and rather classy. The main point was that the restaurant must have a very expensive rent to have been built at that spot. In other words, the prices of the food must be expensive as well.

“Hmm… You’ve got good taste, dear mother-in-law. This place has a romantic feel to it, and the interior design isn’t bad. Music is also playing in the background. Truly, only people who know how to enjoy life would choose such a place!” After Jack took a look at it, he nodded in agreement as well.

“Well, isn’t it obvious? Just look at who picked it!” Fiona’s expression seemed slightly prideful before her eyes swiftly shifted, rolling at Jack. “Don’t even think for a second that praising me would make me forgive everything you’ve done, brat,” she sneered. “I’m telling you, that ten million shouldn’t be short by…”

…

Upon noticing Jack and the group of people approaching, a beautiful waitress walked up to them and started catering to them. “Please come inside, all of you! Our services here aren’t any less than the ones in those fancy hotels. Besides, our customers are rather reputable people…”

“Give me a table close to the windows!” Jack nodded and the rest took their seats. The beautiful waitress came over with a menu.

“I’ll order!” Fiona immediately snatched the menu. After taking a look, she pointed at the lobster and said, “This ain’t bad. One would cost more than a thousand, right? How many people do we have here? Let’s have one for each!”

“Ma, why are you ordering that much? It’s such a waste, don’t you think so?” Selena was completely speechless. Judging from the looks of things, her mother was actually going to make it difficult for Jack.

“How could you say that, my daughter? He said it himself; he can make 30 million in a month. That would mean he’ll make 1 million dollars in a day, right? For a person like that, could he not afford this meal?” Fiona raised her voice intentionally. In an instant, the few tables around them started looking their way.

“No way…he’s that capable? 1 million a day? Is he boasting? 30 million a month. Does that mean he’d make 300 million in a year?”

A woman gasped audibly. “That’s ludicrous. Truly can’t judge from his looks, though. That man seems to be dressed normally, doesn’t he?”

“Is this real? Why come here if he makes thirty million dollars a month? Why don’t they head to a five- star restaurant then?”

“Do you think it’s cheap here? It really isn’t. It’s easy to spend tens of thousands here.”

More people were starting to look at Jack. Some were envious, while some were merely interested to see who on earth this person was to have such power.

Fiona grinned when she noticed the attention. Would he be completely humiliated if he was unable to pay later? Until then, he would not have the pride left to marry her daughter!

“Must you be so loud when ordering food, Ma?”

Selena was speechless. It genuinely seemed like Fiona wished to humiliate Jack in public.

“Pardon me, I’m a loud talker!” Fiona laughed as she immediately crossed her arms. “You wouldn’t mind now, would you, Jack? After all, you know our Selena is named the most beautiful maiden in all of Eastfield! Her status is priceless. If you can’t even afford a single meal, do you think you’re worthy of her? If you can’t even fork out the money for this meal, I suggest you leave her sooner rather than later for her own good! Only Young Master Wilson and Young Master Clark can provide my daughter with happiness!” She stared directly at Jack as she spoke, and she continued word by word, “And you’ll only drag my daughter down. Drag our family down. I advise you: Don’t. Humiliate. Yourself.”

After Jack heard that statement, he chuckled coldly as he seemed unfazed. He said, “Dear mother-in- law, how can you speak so much in one meal? Don’t you worry; I’m the only one that can secure Selena’s happiness. I’ll still be able to pay everything, even if you ordered the entire menu tonight!”

“You speak heavy words. Well, don’t mind if I do!” The corners of Fiona’s mouth twitched as she held in a full belly of disdain. She wanted him to know what ruthless meant tonight!
