Chapter 1
On the Southwest border… War between the Nine Provinces calmed down. The fortresses were
secured. Each of the impenetrable fortresses instilled fear into the enemies! At that moment, within one
of the big buildings, a ruler observed a young man. A scowl creased his face.
“Are you really planning to return to the Eastfield? You’d like to keep this position of Supreme Warrior a
secret for now?”
As the ruler, the old man stared into the eyes of the man in front of him. His gaze was filled with respect.
Behind the young man were the recently anointed Nine Great Gods of War. The Nine Great Gods of War
were meritorious. In just five year’s time, they contributed greatly. Their existence struck fear into their
enemies’ hearts. The Nine Great Gods of War were given the official title as Gods of War. They enjoyed
matchless power and wealth, and would soon be returning to the Nine Provinces, each ruling over a
province of their own. They had the power to decide life and death.
However, at that moment, the Nine Great Gods of War stood humbly behind the young man.
jackie White, the one bestowed by Daxia with the title of Supreme Warrior. His authority was beyond that
of the Gods of War. He was the most exalted.
Daxia was shocked. The media originally planned to officially announce the identities of the Nine Great
Gods of War along with the Supreme Warrior. However, for some reason, they had only announced the
identity of the Nine Great Gods of War. As for the Supreme Warrior’s identity, it became a mystery.
“Mm! I wonder how Selena is doing now? Since it’s settled here, they don’t need me anymore!”
The hint of a gentle smile finally appeared on that man’s chiseled face. Selena was his woman, his wife.
“Master, can we go with you to meet our master’s wife?” Behind him, one of the Nine Great Gods of War,
Abner Young, asked curiously.
If people found out that the Nine Great Gods of War behind jackie, with their outstanding service, were
his disciples, who knew what their reaction would be?!
“Let’s talk about that some other time!” jackie sighed, seemingly falling into a pensive mood.
Five years ago, the enemies counterattacked. Daxia suffered heavy losses and conscripted warriors from
all over the country. Eastfield’s Taylor family were trapped by some scheme, forcing the Taylor family to
enroll one of their younger generations to set an example for The Eastfield Region.
Old Master Taylor was advanced in age, Master Taylor had to maintain order, and Young Master Taylor
was the only one from the younger generation. He was the only male heir. Naturally, Old Master Taylor
was against having his only grandson to fight on the battlefield as he feared having his bloodline ended.
However… The Taylor family could not back out of this.
Coincidentally, a delivery boy named jackie White appeared right then. Old Master Taylor had a sudden
epiphany and made jackie marry into the Taylor family by faking a marriage with the Taylor family’s
second daughter, Selena. That allowed jackie to head to the battlefield in Young Master Taylor’s stead as
a member of the Taylor family.
Of course, jackie had his own conditions as well. It was to have Old Master Taylor pay him one million
dollars for his sick mother’s treatment. Very quickly, the Taylor family’s second daughter was forced to
marry jackie the delivery boy. That simple wedding ceremony made Selena Taylor into the joke of the
century.
On the night of the wedding, the dispirited Selena ended up being the one to initiate the marriage
consummation with jackie after becoming drunk. The next morning, she cried.
On the same morning, jackie was enlisted by the army. That parting lasted five years.
Over the course of five years, jackie had experienced countless life and death situations. However, he
managed to endure those hardships with the thought of Selena waiting for him at home.
In five years, he transformed from the bastard son of the family into a major figure.
‘Selena, don’t you worry. I’ll definitely honor my responsibility for you!’ jackie thought, as he gripped his
fists. With the thought of meeting Selena soon, his usually tranquil heart felt a twinge of excitement.
…
Four days later, a private plane descended slowly onto Eastfield International Airport.
“Eastfield! What a nostalgic place!” Stepping foot onto this land once again, the corner of jackie’s mouth
showed the hint of a smile.
jackie looked at Lana Zechs, then stated slowly, “From the moment I left the Southwestern battlefield, I’m
no longer the Supreme Warrior. From now on, you can just call me brother!”
“Yes, mas— jackie!” Lana said. She was assigned to this province and would be stationed here in
Eastfield. She was happy to be returning here with her master.
An eye-catching Rolls-Royce Phantom with the plate A99999 was at the airport exit. There was a
bodyguard with sunglasses that respectfully opened the car door as a person in his forties came out.
If anyone from a higher class were to find out that this person was James Drake, the richest person in
Eastfield, their jaws would surely hit the ground. A person that could compel James to personally pick
them up from the airport was obviously no ordinary person.
“Today will be worth it if I can see the face of the Queen of Hell!” James lamented. He knew full well what
a God of War represented. Just as he finished his sentence, a man and woman nearby walked toward
him.
“Goddess of war, Queen of Hell, Lana Zechs is here!” exclaimed one of the bodyguards respectfully as
he saw them.
“Let’s go!” James adjusted his shirt. For the first time, he walked over ever so carefully toward Lana.
“James Drake of the Drake family from Eastfield welcomes the goddess of war’s return! We’ve already
prepared the War God’s Residence for you. Here’s a black card. I hope the goddess of war likes it!”
James led his men to Lana, bowing slightly as he passed her a black card.
However, Lana frowned and calmly stated, “Your information source is quite good. As expected of the
Eastfield’s richest person!”
With that said, she casually looked at the black card and laughed coldly. “Since you’ve arranged a place
for me to stay, I’ll oblige. As for this card, you can save it for yourself!”
“Yes, of course!” James wiped away his cold sweat before daring to raise his head. He then kept the
black card.
“This is?” James looked at jackie as he probed with a question.
“We’re just comrades that joined the army together! It’s by chance that I’m returning to Eastfield and we
kept each other company! You guys go on. I’ll grab a taxi and head back!” jackie smiled faintly, then
looked at Lana. “Keep in contact on the phone!”
“Of course!” Lana nodded in response.
Upon hearing the exchange, James’s heart skipped a beat. That was the private plane to send the Gods
of War. For this person to return alongside the Queen of Hell, his background was definitely something
special. Furthermore, to his surprise, the way Lana looked at that man was filled with respect.
Very soon, a taxi was parked outside the gate of a row of villas. That was where the Taylor family was
located! jackie, having been through countless life and death situations, could not help but smile bitterly
as he looked upon the villa’s gates. Back then, if not for Old Master Taylor’s threat with his own life,
Selena would not have been willing to marry him.
It was also due to the Taylor family’s irresponsible attitude toward her marriage that caused her to feel
disappointed. That led to her getting drunk and having developed relations with a little delivery boy like
him.
Although the marriage was originally a fake one, Selena had lost her virginity to him. Just before he
departed, she told him that she would wait for his return. That touched jackie greatly. At that moment,
jackie had finally returned!

Chapter 2
As jackie reminisced, a little girl with a dirty face walked up to the gates and sneakily looked inside. The
little girl was rather skinny. She seemed to be four or five years old with a slightly yellowish skin tone. It
would seem that she was malnourished.
“This little girl. Those eyes resemble Selena’s!” Seeing the girl’s cute appearance, jackie could not resist
smiling.
A maid of the Taylor family came out. She looked at the guards standing by the door and pulled the little
girl to another corner. For some reason, maybe due to the likeness of the girl’s look with Selena, jackie’s
interest was piqued. He slowly walked up to them.
He then witnessed the maid carefully fish out two buns from her pockets and pass it to the little girl.
“Kylie, there’s only two today!”
“Thank you, pretty sister!” The little girl swallowed her saliva as her stomach growled. It was obvious that
she was famished.
“Hurry up, eat it!” The maid patted the little girl’s head. “Sigh, Young Master Taylor is just too mean!”
“No. I’ll take this home and eat it with Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma!” The little girl took the buns
before smiling blissfully. For her, the two buns in her hands were akin to this world’s greatest treasures.
A sports car quickly pulled over beside them, followed by half a dozen Audi A6s as well. “Ivan Taylor?”
jackie recognized the man immediately. After five years, Young Master Taylor had grown up. However,
the changes were minimal. He was still as sheltered as before.
“Shauna. What are you hiding there? Take it out and show it to me!” Ivan asked with a grin on his face.
“N-n-nothing…” The maid repeatedly shook her head. Meanwhile, little Kylie lowered her head as though
she had just made a mistake.
Ivan crouched down and asked the little girl. “Kylie, please tell me what did Shauna just pass to you?”
“I won’t tell you. You’re a bad man. A very bad man!” Kylie raised her head with her lips pursed.
“A bad man?” Ivan chuckled. “Your mother ruined our Taylor family’s name by giving birth to you. Your
mother is the evil one!”
With that said, Ivan stood up and shot a look at the two guards. “Shauna, you’re quite brazen. How dare
you pass food to this little bastard? Do you have a death wish?” Ivan smiled coldly, then instantly sent a
backhanded slap at Shauna’s face.
“Don’t hit her, you meanie!” Seeing that, the little girl immediately ran over and latched onto Ivan’s leg,
giving it a big bite.
“Ah!” Ivan screamed in pain and pushed Kylie to the floor. “Are you born in the year of the dog? You wild
dog. How dare you bite me?”
Kylie was pushed to the floor and started crying. “You’re a bad person. You’re very bad!”
Ivan was in a rage, “Here’s the buns this maid gave you. Come on, eat it. You and the maid get one
each.” He then threw the buns onto the floor and stomped them with his leather shoes. Ivan then stated,
“If you don’t eat, I’ll break her hands and yours too!”
“Young master, I’ll eat it. Don’t make it difficult for the little one, please? I beg of you. Kylie is still Miss
Selena’s daughter. Selena is your cousin!”
Shauna knelt on the floor and grabbed the buns as she looked up at the high and mighty Ivan Taylor with
a pitiful expression.
“Selena’s…daughter?” Hearing those words, jackie’s mind was blown. How did Selena end up with a
daughter? Furthermore, Selena was a daughter of Master Taylor. How could her daughter be like a
beggar?
“Didn’t she say that she would wait for me? Could it be that she remarried that quickly after I went to
war?” jackie’s eyes turned red. He laughed bitterly in his heart and felt he was naive. He naively thought
that Selena would really wait for him.
Ivan laughed and said, “Her father has long died on the battlefield for who knows how many years. This
is just a bastard! Furthermore, we initially arranged for Selena to fake her marriage to that useless
delivery boy. Turns out she had actually gotten pregnant with that trash’s kid. We told her to abort the
baby but she insisted on keeping it! Her fate today was all well-deserved. This is the fate of someone
that soils our family’s name!”
At that point, jackie’s heart was in turmoil. This dirty little girl with patchy clothes was his own daughter?
He clenched his fists as fury took over him. Just what did Selena experience in the past five years?
“Are you eating it? If you don’t eat it, don’t even think about leaving!” Ivan grabbed one of the dirty buns
he stomped on and lifted Kylie with one hand. He then stuffed the bun into the little girl’s mouth.
Kylie, still crying said, “You big meanie. I won’t eat. I won’t eat…” The little girl’s feet kicked about in the
air, one of them landing on Ivan’s clothes.
“Motherf*cker, you’re asking for death. Do you know how expensive my clothes are?” Ivan looked at it,
then forcefully flung Kylie aside.
“You beast! He’s your niece!” Shauna screamed!
jackie’s veins bulged from his temples. Kylie was petite. If she was thrown like that and hit the ground,
how could she be fine? He took a step, then turned into a blur and appeared in front of Ivan. He then
extended his arms to catch Kylie who was just thrown away.
“Ah!” Kylie was in shock. She opened her big googly eyes and stared at the brave-looking man. “w-w-
who’re you?” Kylie stared at jackie, obviously scared.
“Don’t be scared, Kylie. Nobody will dare bully you, or your mother, in the future!” jackie’s heart trembled
as a familial feeling washed over him. This was his own daughter. This was his daughter with Selena.
“Who the f*ck is this? How dare you stick your nose in the Taylor family’s business?” Ivan was extremely
pissed after being caught by surprise.
In the span of five years, jackie went through a big change. He transformed from an ordinary delivery boy
into the one and only Supreme Warrior of Daxia. Ivan was unable to recognize him in that brief moment.
“I’m definitely getting involved in this matter today!” jackie thought as he shot Ivan a cold glare. His aura
that was stained with countless bloodshed caused Ivan to take a few steps back out of fear.
“Kylie, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you!” jackie lovingly looked at Kylie in his arms, then gently placed her
back on the ground.
“What are you f*cking doing standing in a daze? Go break his limbs!” Taking a look at the tall, strong
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtguards, Ivan felt confident.
“Brat, you’re really brazen. How dare you stick your nose in Young Master Taylor’s matters!” Around a
dozen experts surrounded jackie.
At that moment jackie sprang into action! Unfortunately, before Ivan could see clearly, the guards were all
lying on the ground. There were screams of pain from broken arms and legs.
With the guards lying on the floor, Ivan was scared and the color drained from his face. “B-b-brat, who’re
you? I’m the Taylor family’s young master. Things won’t end well for you if you offend me!” Ivan
swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
“Who am I? I’m the one that went to the battlefield in your place!” jackie yelled internally. jackie’s gaze
was intimidating. “Ivan Taylor, I fought your battle for you and faced death in your stead. There were
dozens of times where I almost lost my life, yet here you are, feeding my daughter with a bun that you’ve
stomped on?”
“Y-y-you’re jackie? Impossible. It’s been five years without any news. How could you have come back
alive?” Ivan was scared witless. Not only the Taylor family, but the people of Eastfield City had thought
that jackie had died. According to the reports, the battle a few years back was just too brutal with too
many casualties.
“I’m sorry, but fate is on my side. I can’t die!” jackie sneered, then immediately sent him a kick.
Ivan fell down kneeling on the ground. The pain in his knees caused him to yell in pain.
“Eat those two buns. Otherwise, I don’t care if you’re Selena’s cousin or not, I’ll butcher you like the
animal you are!”
jackie took the two dirt-covered buns and threw them in front of Ivan with a merciless gaze in his eyes.
Chapter 3
“ jackie, are you f*cking crazy? Don’t forget your own identity. You’re only someone that married into our
family. Don’t think that just because you’ve been a soldier for a few years, you can play around with me
with that little extra strength.” Ivan gritted his teeth and tried to stand up.
jackie responded with a kick and pushed him back down, dusting up the area.“I’m not going to repeat my
words!” jackie kept a foot on the back of Ivan’s hand.
“Ah!” Ivan shrieked. He felt as though his bones were being crushed. “bastard…” Ivan raised his head
and was scared speechless when he looked up to meet jackie’s merciless glare.
“Are you eating it or not? If you don’t, I’ll kill you right now!” jackie declared coldly.
“E-e-eat. I’ll eat it!” This time, Ivan was utterly terrified by jackie. Although his heart was unwilling, he
could not help but take bites off the dirt-covered buns, stuffing it into his mouth.
“Shauna, thank you for your care of Kylie. Is Selena in there?” jackie walked up to the maid,
remembering that Shauna used to be Selena’s personal maid that was very close to her.
“M-m-miss was exiled from the Taylor family. The family was against her giving birth to Kylie and she
disobeyed them, that’s why…” Shauna’s eyes filled with tears as she recounted the event.
“Let’s go. Bring me to her!” jackie picked Kylie up. “Kylie, nobody will dare pick on you in the future!”
“Shauna, w-w-who is he?” Kylie was spooked by the earlier scene. It was obvious that she was still
scared.
“Kylie, he’s your father. He’s not dead. He’s back!” Shauna teared up as she explained. Over the past
five years, Selena’s life was horrible.
“Y-y-you’re really my daddy?” Kylie pursed her lips as her eyes brightened. “They said my daddy is dead.
Are you really my daddy? Mommy told me that daddy is definitely still alive. Mommy told me that if daddy
is back, we won’t have to pick up trash again!”
jackie teared up immediately. Despite his six-foot, five inch height and being the only Supreme Warrior of
Daxia, his eyes turned red with tears.
“Shauna, y-y-you should make your choice properly. If you dare walk out of our Taylor Residence, you’ll
lose your job. You should know how many people are fighting for the chance to be a maid of the Taylor
family!” Ivan shouted after he finally finished the two buns.
“You’re full of nonsense!” jackie gave him a kick, sending him a few meters away. Ivan spat out a
mouthful of blood and passed out.
“Good! This meanie deserves it!” Kylie squealed excitedly as she witnessed the scene.
“I don’t want this job. Let’s go. Master jackie, I’ll bring your Miss Selena!” Shauna steeled her heart, then
looked toward Kylie and asked, “Kylie, why aren’t you greeting your daddy?”
Kylie lowered her head sheepishly. After a while, she finally spoke up with a sweet innocent voice,
“Daddy…”
“Good girl. Look at you, covered with dirt. Let’s go, I’ll get you cleaned up and buy some clean clothes!”
jackie lovingly kissed Kylie on the forehead. He felt that his heart was all warmed up. This was his own
flesh and blood. Very quickly, jackie brought Shauna and Kylie to the best bathhouse in the Eastfield.
“Master, it’s very expensive here…” Shauna reminded him softly.
“My daughter deserves to enjoy such treatment!” jackie did not look up all the while. His loving gaze
remained fixated at Kylie who was in his arms.
“Sir, are you lost? This bathhouse does not welcome beggars!” Just as they reached the door, a server
chuckled as he looked at Kylie’s dirty face. His gaze was filled with disgust.
“I know!” jackie sternly warned, “I’ll give you 10 minutes!”
“10 minutes?” The other party was confused.
“10 minutes to clear this place up. I need to give my precious daughter a bath!”
The server chuckled. “Sir, are you joking? We offer individual baths for over a thousand people, and
that’s not including other activities. Unless you have around 80,000 dollars, I’m afraid you’re just
dreaming to have me clear this place!”
Having said that, the server paused for a moment before continuing, “Looking at you, you’re not
someone that can fork out that much money! Furthermore, even if you have the money, you can’t expect
us to render our services to a beggar, right?”
jackie’s expression darkened. The surrounding had seemingly dropped a few degrees. “Say that again?”
“Your daughter is so dirty. Is she not a beggar?”
! In an instant the server was sent flying with a kick…
“F*ck you, what are you trying to do? Do you know what place this is?” The server climbed back up and
shouted, “Guys, someone is here to cause trouble!”
“This place is under the Clark family’s jurisdiction. Is this fella crazy? He dares to start trouble here?”
“That’s right. We can’t help it if he’s here to court death!”
A few customers shook their heads as they witnessed the scene. One should know that luxurious
bathhouses like this one were naturally backed by powerful forces.
To the extent that they might have the power to cause the entire Eastfield to tremble under their feet.
Very soon, a group of sturdy men rushed in.
“Who dares to cause trouble at our place?” one of them shouted. He was a burly man.
“This territory belongs to the Clark family. You’re quite brave to dare cause trouble here!” said another
guy.
“My daughter is not a beggar. It’s fine if you humiliate me. If anyone dares to offend my daughter, it won’t
end well for them!” All these years, his daughter must have gone through much suffering. jackie was only
hoping to make it up to her and Selena.
“Kid, it’s you. You’re quite daring! Do you know who I am? I’m Black Dragon of Eastfield, general of the
Clark family. Kneel and admit your wrongdoing right now, then get out of my sight! My establishment
doesn’t serve ill-dressed folks, nor do we serve stinking beggars. Your daughter is definitely a beggar…”
The burly man took two steps forward with an arrogant look on his face.
“What!? He’s Black Dragon? Tch, tch, I heard that he’s a fearsome fighter. All his achievements came
from his kills! Once, he managed to kill over a hundred people and saved Master Clark’s life. That story
was spread all over the streets!”
Some onlookers took a few steps back, feeling scared. They felt a sense of dread welling up from within.
“You want me to kneel to you?” jackie was astonished. “I’m afraid the one that dares to have me kneel is
not born yet. I’ve already forgotten how many people I’ve killed!”
“Interesting. You dare act tough in front of me. Hahaha, I’m afraid you weren’t even born yet when I
started chopping others with my saber!” Black Dragon laughed out loud. “I’m sorry kid, I know full well
how many people of great power there are in Eastfield. Coincidentally, you’re not on that list!”
“Today… You’ll get to know me!” Just as he finished his sentence, there was a flash of movement and
the Black Dragon fell down just like that. Black Dragon remained laying on the ground, his eyes filled with
surprise. He was no longer breathing. Silence enveloped the area!
“This is bad. B-B-Black Dragon is dead!” Someone shouted in fear after taking a look.
Chapter 4
“Six minutes remaining. Clear this venue. Since you’re just offended, don’t even think about charging the
fee!” jackie stared coldly at the remaining people.
Although they were tough as well, they were nothing compared to Black Dragon. None of them dared to
look jackie in the eye. “Everyone, leave immediately or else!”
They started shouting immediately. The other customers were obviously terrified from before and ran
away like their lives depended on it. They could not see how Black Dragon had died. It was as though
something supernatural occurred.
In less than a minute, the entire bathhouse was empty! A beautiful female server walked out meekly after
being signaled by the bouncers and asked in a worried tone, “Sir, t-t-the place is empty. How can we
serve you?”
“Go get a set of branded clothing and a sumptuous meal for my daughter. If not, don’t even think of
leaving here alive!” jackie carried Kylie inside, causing the server and bouncers to have the color drain
from their faces.
“Of course, sir. We’ll get to it immediately!” The beautiful female server recovered from her daze and
bowed deeply toward jackie’s back!
jackie brought Kylie into the bath and took the old dirty clothes off her. The corner of his mouth twitched.
Kylie was scared. There were some scars on her supple skin.
“Kylie, did daddy scare you earlier?” jackie smiled lovingly at Kylie as a tear almost escaped his eye.
“Daddy, you’re amazing but also terrifying!” Kylie pursed her lips, then finally peeped carefully.
“Terrifying?” jackie was stunned. Kylie was only four years old. That was an age where they were most
innocent, yet he took action right in front of her and had even killed a person.
To him, killing a single person was no different from eating or drinking. However, to Kylie, that was…
“Alright. Kylie, from now on, daddy won’t be so terrifying. However, those were bad people and they
deserve to be punished!” jackie carefully helped Kylie wash up. “From now on, I’ll have you and your
mother live comfortably. You can have a comfortable life just like other kids!”
The little girl seemed confused. Beside them, Shauna smiled. “Master, would you like to give Miss
Selena a call? If she knows that you’re back, she’ll definitely be delighted!”
“No need. We’ll head over soon!” jackie calmly stated, “Shauna, from now on you’ll continue taking care
of Selena and Kylie. Don’t worry, I won’t skimp on your salary!”
“Oh right, I’ve heard that the retired soldiers are given a decent pension. The lowest is rumored to be
around 10 to 20 thousand. Master, how much do you get?”
Shauna quickly thought of something, then laughed. “I’m very close to Miss Selena. It’s for the best that I
can take care of Miss Selena. As for the salary, it’s fine as long as I have enough to survive!”
“It will be sufficient!” jackie laughed it off. To him, money was nothing. He could replace the richest
person in Eastfield with just a phone call if he so wished.
Shauna contemplated for a moment, then spoke again. “Oh yeah, Master jackie, Kylie’s surname is
Taylor. It can’t be helped. Your in-laws were mindful of your previous status and thought you didn’t make
it…”
“Oh…” jackie responded, then said, “It’s okay. She’s the daughter of Selena and I!”
Very quickly, the pretty server brought over some delicious foods and a beautiful princess-styled dress.
Placing them to one side, she then carefully retreated out of the room. After her bath, Kylie silently
swallowed hard, feeling famished.
jackie lovingly touched Kylie’s face as he watched her wolf her food down, saying, “Silly little girl. Eat
slowly! After you’re done, we’ll go see your mommy!”
After Kylie finished her meal, she grabbed the two slices of leftover cake with her hands. “Daddy, I… I
wanna bring this back for mommy and grandma!” She looked at jackie, then asked in a worried tone,
“Can I?”
jackie was speechless. It would seem that his earlier fights had indeed scared Kylie and made her afraid
of him. “Of course! As long as you’re happy!”
Carrying Kylie in his arms, jackie was ready to leave with Shauna. However, before they even reached
the door, an Audi stopped right outside and a bald man got out of it. The bald man had a scary face with
a long scar over it. His eyes were sharp.
One of the servers could not resist snickering. “Excellent. The Clark family’s number one fighter is here.
Hahaha, that kid is screwed!”
“That’s right. Master Clark was furious after receiving the phone call and had Dan Jameson come over to
turn that kid into a cripple.” The other guard snickered and watched from the sidelines, hoping for a good
show.
“Where’s he?” Dan walked over to jackie after asking around.
“Kid, you’re quite the man, having managed to kill Black Dragon! However, it won’t end well for you
today!” Dan said in a deep voice, his eyes narrowed.
“If I want you dead, you won’t survive for more than three seconds!” jackie said as he looked at his
opponent, then at Kylie in his arms. “However, my daughter is here. I don’t want to scare her. Why don’t
we have an arm-wrestling match?!”
“Arm-wrestling?” Dan was caught off-guard. “Do you think I’m here to play with you?”
“Of course it’s not to play around. You just said that your master wants to cripple me, didn’t you? What
about this. If you win, I’ll voluntarily cripple my limbs! If you lose, I’ll just need you to cut off one finger!”
jackie bellowed in laughter. After experiencing so much killing, he could tell with a look that this person
was a ruthless one.
“Interesting!” Dan smiled, then walked up to a table. “Kid, get over here. Since you like to play this, I’ll
play with you!”
“Shauna, hold Kylie for me!” jackie then passed Kylie to Shauna.
Very quickly, both their hands clasped together.
“Begin!” announced one of the guards.
“This kid dares to arm wrestle with Dan? Doesn’t he know how strong Dan is?”
“That’s right. Dan can potentially kill a cow with one punch!”
A few buff guys were watching the show with their hands crossed in front of their chests.
If jackie lost and tried to deny the results, Dan would teach him a lesson on regret.
“Argh!” Dan poured in all his strength, just to realize that jackie’s arm had not moved an inch.
“I-I-Impossible!?” He gasped a mouthful of air. The next instant, jackie snickered and Dan lost the match.
“I believe you won’t deny the result. One finger. As for which one you choose, I’ll let you decide!”
jackie then took Kylie back in his arms and left the scene.
“Who’s that guy? His strength is amazing!” Dan finally said with disbelief after jackie was long gone.
“Brother Dan, you’re not really cutting a finger, are you?” asked a person as he walked up to the bald
guy. He swallowed hard while looking at the empty gate.
Chapter 5
Shauna led jackie to the door of a small, dilapidated courtyard house. There was a big banyan tree in the
courtyard. Looking in from there, it appeared tranquil. However, there was the problem that the place
was too run down.
“You’re telling me that my mother, Selena, and the in-laws are staying here?” Seeing the house in front of
him, jackie felt sorry for them.
Selena was the daughter of Master Taylor. She was fantastically talented. Back then, she was even
known as a stunningly beautiful director that exuded pride. Countless people courted her.
At that moment, because of her decision to keep the kid, she was kicked out of the household to stay at
such a place!
Shauna smiled bitterly. “There’s also your little uncle! He was still young five years ago, but he’s now 19
and staying here.”
“That many people!” jackie’s eyes turned red. “Selena must’ve had a hard time!”
However, they quickly noticed a Bentley was parked by the courtyard.
“Why’s there a Bentley here?” jackie scowled, feeling suspicious.
“I don’t know. After all, I hardly come here. Sigh, too many things have happened over the five years.
Miss Selena has been waiting for you all the while! However, her parents’ patience ran out a long time
ago. Furthermore, they had a strong bias against you…claiming that you forced yourself on Miss Selena
during the wedding night, taking advantage of her drunkenness…” Shauna said carefully with a frown.
“Sigh, I can only slowly make it up to them. I’ve caused father and mother-in-law to suffer together!”
jackie sighed deeply. He too wanted to stay by the side of his woman, and yet was just as helpless.
Just as he entered, jackie scowled and raised his hand, signaling Shauna to keep quiet for the sound
coming from within the house made him angry.
The voice of Selena’s mother could be heard. “Young Master Clark, don’t you worry. There has been no
news of that kid for five years. He’s long gone! I’m planning to go apply for a death certificate. By then,
you can marry our Selena!”
“thank you very much!” Young Master Clark laughed loudly, then said, “Auntie, there’s actually no need to
get that death certificate. The marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. I, Ken Clark, am not such a
superficial person. When the time comes, we just need to arrange a glorious and grand marriage
ceremony! The most important thing is for Selena to agree to our marriage.”
“Agree! Of course she’d agree!” Selena’s mother immediately thumped her chest and said, “Don’t you
worry. Her father and I will help you persuade her!”
“Really? However, she is quite the stubborn one! Back then, if not for her insisting to give birth to that
bastard, you guys wouldn’t be kicked out of the Taylor family to suffer alongside her over here!” Young
Master Clark then added calmly, “Sigh, five years ago, Selena was the prettiest girl in the Eastfield. Look
at her now, what has she become?”
“That’s right. It’s all that delivery boy’s fault. The original deal was just a faked marriage, yet he ended up
impregnating our Selena.” Once again, Mrs. Taylor added, “Our Selena is really obstinate, stubbornly
claiming that child to be her flesh and blood, swearing to care for her!”
“It’s okay. Uncle, Auntie, I’m sincerely in love with Selena. Once Selena is with me, wealth is not an
issue!” Having said that, Young Master Clark took out a jade bracelet. “I had someone bring this jade
bracelet over from Shanghai. It’s worth quite a sum. I’ll give it to Auntie as a gift!”
“T-T-This… How can we accept this?”
…
Beyond the door, jackie’s expression turned uglier by the second. His fists gripped tightly together. He
tried his best to suppress the raging fire in his heart. After calming himself, he then knocked on the door.
“Who’s there?” Mrs. Taylor’s voice sounded annoyed as she opened the gate.
“Who’re you?” Mrs. Taylor, looked at jackie suspiciously, then looked at Kylie, asking, “Why are you
holding onto our Kylie?”
“Grandma, h-h-he’s my daddy!” Kylie looked at jackie, then said softly, “Daddy said that with him home,
nobody would dare to bully me and mommy ever again!”
Fiona was dumbstruck on the spot, then quickly exclaimed in astonishment, “Wonderful. jackie, the
shameless one, is actually alive… You have the gall to show up now? You need to compensate my
daughter for her lost youth. Our family is in a rut because of you!”
“Who? Who’s back? It’s that bastard jackie?” Selena’s father rushed out, limping forward to grab at
jackie. “I’ll kill you, you beast. If not for you tainting our Selena’s purity, would she need to make a living
from collecting trash? If not for you, my leg wouldn’t have been crippled!”
jackie had a huge shock. How did Selena end up collecting trash? How did her father’s leg end up like
this? Although it was not his fault as Selena took the initiative, he was also drunk during that time and did
not resist the urge. However, it was still because of him that they ended up like this. No wonder Andrew
and Fiona would hate him to this extent.
jackie’s heart was wracked with guilt. ‘That’s right, if not for my impulsive behavior, their entire family
wouldn’t have had to suffer.’
“Shauna, take Kylie over to the courtyard to play for a while!” jackie passed Kylie over to Shauna.
“Brat, of all times, you chose to come back now. Why are you here? It’d be better if you had just died on
the battlefield!”
Fiona was in tears. “I think you’re just unwilling to let our Selena live a single day in comfort. You animal!”
“I’ll teach you a lesson!” Andrew immediately sent a slap at jackie.
However, the next instant, his hand was firmly in jackie’s grasp. “Father, I’m sorry. It’s because of me that
you had to suffer. Regardless, Selena has already given birth to Kylie. I, jackie White, will take full
responsibility. I won’t let her down. She has waited for me all this while. I’ll let her live a comfortable life.”
“Huh, you dare to grab my hand? Get out of my sight!” Andrew was pissed. As expected of a retired
soldier, jackie’s strength was great. He was unable to move an inch.
Unexpectedly, right at that moment, Young Master Clark approached them with a smile. “This kid is back
just in time. Since he’s not dead, we can have him divorce Selena. Moreover, Kylie is his kid. He’s her
father, therefore he should take custody over Kylie. From now on, we’ll just have Kylie follow him!”
Having said that, he further added with a grin on his face, “After all, I’m unwilling to help someone take
care of their baggage. Without this burden, both mine and Selena’s life will be much better!”
Chapter 6
“That’s right. You’re absolutely right! To be honest, I don’t really like this little girl anyway!”
Fiona nodded repeatedly. “After all, she shouldn’t have existed!”
Hearing those words, jackie felt the urge to kill them all in just one strike. However, deep down, he
reminded himself to stay calm. After all, Fiona was Selena’s mother, his mother-in-law. This place was no
longer the battlefield where he killed as he wished. At the very least, Fiona and Andrew were not his
enemies. Andrew’s leg was in its current condition because of his rash actions with Selena on their
wedding night. Their hatred for him was reasonable. However, there was an outsider present.
jackie smiled coldly, then looked toward Young Master Clark. “Kylie is my daughter. She’s not baggage,
nor is she a bastard child. You have to kneel down and apologize for your words!” At that point, jackie
paused for a moment, then continued, “If not because of my unwillingness to stain this place on my first
day home, you’d be dead by now!”
“brat, did I hear you correctly? Do you know who you’re talking to?” Young Master Clark laughed, then
pointed at the Bentley outside. “I heard that you used to be a delivery boy. A few years of war as a
soldier has made you a tough guy, eh? You’re nothing in my eyes. Do you know how much that car
costs? A person like you can’t afford to buy one in your entire life.”
“That’s right. jackie, stop your meddling. Take your daughter and leave!” Fiona took a step forward, then
added, “Stop messing with my daughter’s search for happiness!”
“Mother, unless Selena personally asks me to go away, I will never leave her side!” jackie looked at Fiona
with a resolved expression on his face.
“What do you have to compare with me? How do you qualify to be with her? A person needs to
understand his own shortcomings, no?” Young Master Clark took a step forward, then jabbed at jackie’s
chest. “You’re just a useless soldier…”
Smack! To their surprise, jackie sent Young Master Clark a few steps back with a slap. He spat a
mouthful of blood along with three teeth.
Young Master Clark screamed while his cheeks burned. “Y-Y-You dare to hit me? You’re courting death!
Do you know who I am?” Young Master Clark was furious. He wanted to fight back, yet dared not to. The
person in front of him had returned from the battlefield. He, a pampered young master, was surely no
match for jackie.
“ jackie, do you know who he is? He’s the Clark family’s young master. The Clark family is a lot wealthier
and has more influence than our Taylor family!”
“I don’t care who he is. He dared to badmouth my daughter and have unclean thoughts about Selena. It’s
already generous of me to not kill him!” jackie coldly declared.
“Alright, you’re ballsy and quite capable. Do you dare to let me make a phone call?” Ken said
menacingly. “I wouldn’t be scared even if you made 10 calls!”
jackie could not be bothered with him. Such trash meant nothing in his eyes.
“ jackie? jackie White?” Right then, a melodious voice could be heard coming from behind them. jackie’s
heart trembled. He turned around to see Selena, still beautiful as ever, but dressed in simple garments.
His eyes immediately turned watery. “Selena, I’m back.”
“This is wonderful. I knew it. I knew you’d survive!” Selena’s body trembled, dropping the bags filled with
trash to the ground. “It’s good that you’re back. Our child must not be without a father!” Selena’s voice
quickly regained its calm.
Must not be without a father! Those six simple words made jackie realize Selena’s feeling for him at that
moment. That was right. They hardly had any feelings for each other as the marriage was just for show.
What happened that night was due to Selena’s rashness… As for the child, she could not bear to abort
her as she was her own flesh and blood. Just six simple words fully expressed the helplessness in her
heart.
“Selena, rest assured. Nobody will dare to bully you from now on!” jackie raised his hand, declaring
matter-of-factly, “I swear!”
“My dear, have him get out of here and take Kylie along. He will only bring trouble!” Seeing her own
daughter come home, Fiona grabbed onto Selena’s hand and said in tears, “Divorce him quick. Young
Master Clark just promised us that he will take good care of you and us. I don’t want to see you collecting
trash again. I also don’t wish to live in such a difficult situation anymore. Staying in a place like this is
making us the laughing stock of others.”
“Ma, I’m sorry. I can’t abandon Kylie! Although jackie might be useless, he’s still my man and Kylie’s
father. I believe that if we work hard together, our life will definitely get better!” Selena managed a bitter
smile, her eyes filled with helplessness.
“H-H-He hit Young Master Clark right after he returned home. Look, even his teeth fell out!” Andrew was
squatting on the floor in anger, feeling disappointed.
“What?!” Selena looked at the teeth and bloodstains on the floor, then shot an astonished look at jackie.
“W-W-Why did you hit him? You’re too rash! This will be troublesome!”
“It’s fine, honey. You don’t have to worry!” jackie smiled calmly, silently appreciating the woman standing
before him. She was just as pretty as before.
“What do you mean there’s nothing to worry about? Quickly come apologize to Young Master Clark. He’s
the most promising child of the Clark family’s younger generation and also the Eldest Young Master. He’s
the heir apparent, the Clark family’s future master! This time, you’re really in big trouble!” Selena was
extremely worried, urgently pushing jackie toward Young Master Clark.
“Apologize? Ha!” Once again, Young Master Clark spat out the blood in his mouth, then looked up and
puffed his chest. “It’s too late to apologize now. My dad has ordered Dan Jameson to come and settle
this matter!”
“Dan Jameson?” jackie was baffled. Was that not the person he had just defeated in an arm-wrestling
match? What a coincidence.
Seeing how jackie was in a daze, Young Master Clark burst out laughing. “What’s this? Scared? Do you
know who Dan is? He’s our Clark family’s number one fighter that will kill without remorse. He took down
two to three hundred people all on his own. Do you think you’re so great just because you’ve been a
soldier? Ha, what an ignorant fool!”
“Young Master Clark, please show your generosity and let this person go. He’s just a boor. Why bother?”
Selena went forward to put in a kind word for jackie, feeling helpless.
“I’ve lost a few teeth and you’re telling me to let him go? Are you kidding me?” Young Master Clark
massaged his swollen cheek, filled with anger. “I can let this slide as long as you divorce him right now…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand marry me!”
“Young Master Clark, is that necessary? With your status, you can easily find a beautiful young lady. Why
would you insist on a married woman like myself?” Selena smiled awkwardly. “Young Master Clark,
please stop your jokes!”
“I’m sorry, but you’re the type I like!” Young Master Clark laughed coldly. “Since you’re unwilling to
divorce him, then I’m not to be blamed. This brat will die today!”
Chapter 7
“I’ll die today? I don’t think so!” jackie was unfazed. He took a look outside and saw that Shauna had
already brought Kylie to play under the banyan tree.
“Hmph, I’ll see how tough you think you are!” Young Master Clark could not be bothered to talk with
jackie. He believed that jackie would be regretting soon enough. Very quickly, a few cars pulled over just
outside. Dan Jameson, the Clark family’s number one fighter, walked in along with a few muscular guys.
Just as he entered the courtyard, Dan shouted, “Who’s the person that dared to bully our young master?
Do you wish to die?” At that moment, Dan was furious as he had just ran into someone he could not
afford to offend, causing him to lose a finger. He had just only finished treating his wound at the hospital
when his master gave him another phone call, telling him that Young Master Clark was beaten up,
sending him over to settle the issue.
“It’s that trash named jackie White. He’s just a stinking, retired soldier, yet he dares to behave arrogantly
before me!” Young Master Clark immediately started smugly mouthing off once he saw Dan approach
with his men.
“Motherf*cker, this is really—” Dan bellowed, rushing as he was about to take action to vent his
frustrations. However, seeing the person standing in front of Ken, he was almost petrified by fear.
“How unexpected. We meet again!” jackie smiled calmly, then looked at the bandaged hand of the other
party. “It seems you have a great personality. You’re a real man that keeps your word!”
At first, Ken could not understand what jackie was talking about. He frowned and looked at Dan, asking,
“You’ve met?”
Dan smiled bitterly, then nodded. “Young Master Clark, uhm… It’s about time for lunch. Why don’t we
head back?” While he spoke, Dan had even winked a few times at Ken.
“Lunch? What lunch? Go beat him up. Damn it! If I don’t vent my frustrations today, I’m not a man!” Ken
huffed, failing to understand Dan’s implications.
Smack! jackie took a step forward and gave Young Master Clark a slap to his face.
“You… Dan, get him!”
Smack!
“Dan…”
Smack! After a few consecutive slaps, Young Master Clark almost passed out.
“Dan, why aren’t you and your men taking action?” Young Master Clark was on the verge of tears. He felt
so wronged. He had never been treated this way before. Dan did not dare to take action. The men
around him had also witnessed first hand how Black Dragon was killed. They lowered their heads in fear,
not daring to take a single step forward.
“Sorry for disturbing!” The unexpected had just happened. Dan walked up to jackie and bowed
respectfully, then with a wave of his hand, he ordered his underlings, “Take Young Master Clark home!”
In an instant, the thugs carried Ken and went out the door.
“Put me down. Dan, what’s wrong with you? I’m asking you to cripple he. Dan, why are you such a wuss
today?” Young Master Clark was cursing all the way out, but it had no effect. He was carried away just
like that.
“This…” Fiona and Andrew were both flabbergasted. At first, they thought that jackie was done for. Who
would have thought such a dramatic scene would ensue?
“Could it be that Dan is afraid of you? You know each other?” Selena asked with a frown on her face.
“That’s a long story!” jackie smiled bitterly, then looked at the bag of trash on the floor, asking, “Selena,
why are you collecting trash? What happened in the past five years?”
All was good until that topic was brought up. Fiona immediately boiled with rage again.
Enraged, she walked forward and was just about to push jackie out of the door. “It’s all because of you,
trash! If not for you forcing yourself on my daughter and impregnating her with Kylie, would she be kicked
out of the family? Do you think we’d be collecting trash for a living?”
“Ma, stop that. He’s not to be blamed for that matter. It was my own decision. He did not force himself on
me!” Selena retorted strongly, “The incident that night was nothing to be regretful about. I’ll never regret
my decision. I’ll be responsible for my own actions. Didn’t Grandpa have me marry him? He’s the man I’ll
be with!”
“Impossible. It must be this scoundrel forcing himself on you. You must’ve been drunk, and he took
advantage of that. That must be it! You’re the Taylor family’s Eldest Miss and he’s only a delivery boy.
How can he be a worthy partner for you?” Fiona refused to believe Selena’s statement. She glared at
jackie through gritted teeth. “Brat, I don’t care. You must compensate my daughter for her loss of youth
and divorce her. Let her marry Young Master Clark.”
“Mother, I’ve already told you. Unless Selena says so, I won’t be divorcing her!” jackie was determined.
He looked at Selena, finally showing a gentle expression as he asked, “Selena, can you tell me what
happened? Even if you’re kicked out of the Taylor family, you shouldn’t have to resort to collecting trash,
right? With your networking and capabilities, how could you not find a good job?”
Selena made a bitter smile. That smile was filled with untold suffering. “Do you think I wished for this?
After getting pregnant, I was told to abort her. I disagreed and was kicked out. What kind of job could I
take while being pregnant? Moreover, my Grandpa gave out an order to ban all affiliated companies from
hiring me!” By that point, Selena took a seat by the table. Her gaze had a pitiful look. “Some companies
were willing to hire me, for example, those from the Clark family. Although they were willing, the condition
was to abort the child. Moreover, Young Master Clark had always been eyeing me! What else could I do?
The Taylor family was even worse. They would only leave me alone when I collected trash. Otherwise,
they’d be sending people to destroy my business even if I just set up a simple stall!”
“Damn it!” By that point, jackie could not bear listening on. The wife of the Supreme Warrior was actually
forced to collect trash and left without help?
“You see, it’s all because of you. If not for trash like you, would our family be in such a rut?”
Fiona was still as disgusted as before. “Furthermore, Selena’s dad’s leg was broken when he worked as
a porter. Look at him now! Sob, sob, sob, why is my life so difficult!”
“Father, mother, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect it to turn out this way!” Seeing Fiona in tears and how the whole
family could not even have a decent meal, jackie’s heart was wracked with guilt. “Don’t you worry. Now
that I’m back, nobody will dare to bully you in the future!”
“You’re just talking nonsense!” Fiona’s voice trembled, clearly agitated as she pointed at jackie. “You’re
just a soldier. What can you do? At most, you can only run your mouth. The way I see it, it’s 10 to 100
times better for our Selena to marry Young Master Clark or that Young Master Wilson when compared to
trash like you!”
Chapter 8
“Ma, no matter what you say, he’s still Kylie’s father and your son-in-law. Don’t ridicule him like that
anymore! Those matters from the past are far behind us now. You should stop talking about it too!”
Selena was just as kind and understanding as before.
“Bullsh*t! We’ve never recognized him as our son-in-law. This doesn’t count!” Fiona retorted.
“That’s right. If not for him, my leg wouldn’t be in this state!” Andrew was similarly holding his grudge.
“But what mistake did he commit? Back then, I slept with him out of spite. I didn’t expect myself to be
pregnant from that!” Selena felt helpless. It was indeed her own brazen action that caused this. However,
she really could not bear aborting the child. The situations they face up to that point were considered
compensations for the mistake she made back then.
“But you didn’t have to carry the child. You…you’re really trying to give me a heart attack!”
Fiona stomped her foot in frustration.
“Nevermind. It is what it is. He’s back from the war. Let’s just see if he can find something to do in the
future. Our lives will improve eventually!” Andrew took out a cigarette and lit it. He was indeed angry
when he saw jackie, but at that point, there was nothing he could do. After all, Kylie was his
granddaughter, the flesh and blood of his own daughter.
“How much better can it get? Can it compare to back when we were staying in the townhouse?”
Fiona was still huffing angrily.
“Selena, where’s my mother? How come I haven’t seen her?” jackie frowned. He had been back for quite
a while, but he had yet to see his mother. Shauna told him earlier that his mother was staying with them.
“She’s still working. We can’t help that. Your mother is uncultured and old. She can only work as a
cleaner outside. Her monthly salary is quite low, and she has split some over for us. As a family, we can
only make do!” Selena finally said after a bitter smile.
“Come, bring me to her! You should know which street she’s in charge of, right?” Hearing that his own
mother was working as a cleaner and the entire family’s income was dependent on her and Selena’s
trash collecting, jackie felt very uncomfortable.
“Brat, I’m telling you that you need to divorce our Selena. Moreover, I won’t let you off without at least ten
million dollars of compensation for her lost youth!” Just as they were leaving, Fiona’s furious outburst
could be heard from behind.
…
At that moment, the scorching sun was high in the sky. The blazing summer day caused the temperature
on the ground to rise continuously. On the side of a street, a middle-aged woman was holding onto a hat
as she cleaned the road. Thud! An empty mineral water bottle was thrown right in front of that middle-
aged woman. The middle-aged woman raised her head and saw two youngsters along with some girls in
sexy short dresses. She shook her head in resignation. “Sigh, youngsters these days…they don’t even
know how to throw it into the trash can right there.”
Unexpectedly, the cleaner’s lamentation was heard by the other party. “F*ck, you’re just a cleaner. Why
are you spouting so much nonsense? I’m throwing it in front of you. What about it? If I don’t throw my
trash here, you cleaners would be getting paid for nothing, isn’t it?” The youngster that threw the bottle
immediately started running his mouth. Having said that, he followed with spitting on the floor. “People
from the lower rung of society can only get so far!”
“That’s right. If not for us creating trash, they’ll be unemployed!” One of the young girls with curly hair
was wearing a black skirt and pantyhose. She started chewing on sunflower seed and threw the shells all
over the place. “Clean it up. If you don’t clean properly, you might get a pay cut!”
The two youngsters joined in and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, munching away. “That’s right.
Auntie, clean it properly. Hahaha!”
“Y-y-you guys are still so young, yet so uncultured. The trash can is right there. Don’t you know that
littering is a very uncultured thing to do?” The cleaning lady was aggravated. Under the hot blazing
summer sun, she was on the verge of passing out from the heat, yet the street that she spent so much
effort cleaning up was…
“you’re teaching me about culture? You’re just a cleaner, yet you’re talking about culture. What a joke!”
The first youngster burst into laughter once more.
Witnessing the scene, jackie and Selena almost had an aneurysm. These youngsters were too
uncivilized. “What’s the point of you guys bullying an elderly here?”
Before jackie could take a step forward, Selena was already rushing up to them, shouting angrily,
“What’s with that behavior? People are working so hard to clean the street. Can’t you guys just do your
part to maintain a nice environment?”
“Aiyo, pretty lady, are you trying to stand up for her? You look pretty and have a shapely body. However,
you’re a little too poor. Look at those patchy clothes!” That youngster shot a look at Selena and was
surprised by what he saw. This woman was wearing such old and simple clothes, yet they could not
cover up her beauty.
“Don’t you know to mind your own business?” The two girls, instead, gave Selena disgusted looks.
“Selena, why are you here?” jackie’s mother, Joan Xavier quickly pulled Selena back. “Nevermind, it’s
fine. They’ll go away after a while. I’ll just clean it up after that!”
“Mother, they’re too much. They’ve crossed the line!” Selena felt angry. Her fists were tightly gripped, but
she could not do anything.
“Hey pretty, you look quite cute when you’re angry!” The youngster took a look, growing more excited. He
could not resist teasing, “Come here. If you give me a kiss, we’ll stop littering. Deal?”
“You dare pick on my woman!?” jackie could not hold back any longer. He stepped forward and stared
them in the eye.
“You’re…” Joan was caught off guard. She quickly recognized jackie and started tearing up. “ jackie, y-y-
you’re back?”
jackie turned around. His eyes were similarly tearing up, grabbing Joan’s hands tightly, “Ma, I’m sorry.
Your son made you suffer. I was unable to be by your side for the past five years!”
“No, I’m fine. I’m doing just fine! All that matters is that you’re home safe and sound. They all said that
you’ve died on the battlefield. I knew you’d definitely come back alive!” Joan’s passionate tears flowed as
her voice trembled. Her pair of old callused hands holding onto jackie’s hands quietly, fearing that it
would be all a dream if she let go of them.
“I’m back, I’m really back. We’ll never be separated again and live comfortably in the future!” jackie
nodded repeatedly. “Your son has been unfilial for making you worried!”
“No, no, you’re a good boy. I know you married into the family just to get money for my treatment. You
went to war for our country!” Joan’s tears blurred her eyesight. “I’m very satisfied to have such a son!”
“F*ck, are you guys from the entertainment department? What’s with all these dramatic flairs?
Sickening!” That youngster was frustrated. However, his words caused jackie’s eyes to flicker with
murderous intent.
Chapter 9 “That’s right. These bums are talking about war and bringing glory to the country. What a
joke!”
The other youngster snickered along.
Bang, bang! However, the very next instant, bot
