Chapter 1024: Back To 1978!

Shaun’s words made him appear very pitiful and innocent.
It was indeed painful for a seven-year-old boy to lose his father and other family members at such a young age. This was also one of the main reasons why Shaun was so vicious.
Rong Huangde looked at Shaun and said kindly, “Mr. Shaun, I killed your father. After we find out the Handley family’s secret, you can kill me with your own hands and avenge your father and uncle.”
Previously, Rong Huangde had also told Jordan to kill him after everything was over.
Now, he was telling Shaun the same.
!!
Rong Huangde didn’t seem to care about his life at all. He was prepared to die anytime.
However, Shaun did not believe that Rong Huangde would be willing to die after learning about the Handley family’s secret and obtaining something that might contain endless benefits.
If a person really had no desires and ambition, it was impossible for him to rule the world for so many years.
Perhaps Rong Huangde was tired now, but when a new world, new power and new goals appeared, it would awaken his ambitions.
Shaun smiled. “Daddy, what are you talking about?! I’ve already let bygones be bygones! You’re my father now. I still have to support you in your old age, hahaha.”
Rong Huangde’s expression was indifferent. He had never fallen for Shaun’s flattery.
Instead, Rong Huangde looked at Jordan. “Deity Jordan, which year do you want to go to?”
Jordan thought for a moment before replying, “It has to be before 1984 when they were still alive. Let’s go to 1978 then. Shaun was only a year old. The child is still young, and his parents have to watch over him at all times. If necessary, we can also use the young Shaun as a hostage to threaten them.”
Shaun immediately cut in. “Jordan, we’re brothers. You can’t do this to me! I was only a year old back then. I won’t be able to withstand your torture!”
Jordan smiled. “I’m just giving an example.”
Rong Huangde nodded. “Deity Jordan’s choice is excellent. What should we do when we get there?”
Jordan asked, “What did you do in the past?”
Rong Huangde said, “I used all kinds of methods. I set up camp near the Handley family town and dispersed the other townsfolk until only the Handley family and I remained. Then, I fought them using all kinds of techniques. Unfortunately, the Handley family was very stubborn. They would rather die than tell us the source of their spells.”
Jordan thought for a moment. As a Chinese citizen, it might have been difficult for Rong Huangde to gain the trust of those rural American folks during the 1970s.
That was why he ended up using force.
Jordan said, “Since we’ve tried it the hard way, let’s use another method this time. We’ll move into the Handley family town and slowly get to know them as their neighbors. We’ll find a chance to obtain their secrets then.”
Rong Huangde nodded. “That’s a good idea. In that case, it’s best that you and Ms. Lauren pose as neighbors. Shaun and I are both Chinese and it won’t be suitable for us to enter the Handley family town with you. We will work together and find a place to set up camp just outside the town. We can also secretly protect you and provide you with help.”
Jordan had no objections to this plan.
But Shaun didn’t like the idea. “Mr. Rong, although we’re Chinese, we can put on makeup! With the superb makeup skills of our era, my father and those ignorant people will never be able to tell!”
Shaun naturally wanted to follow Jordan into the Handley family town.
After all, his plan was to get in touch with his father and join forces with them to kill Jordan and Rong Huangde!
But Rong Huangde was insistent. “There’s no need. We’ll stay outside the town and use other methods to help Jordan and Ms. Lauren.”
Shaun wanted to say something, but he was worried that if he objected too strongly, he would arouse Rong Huangde and Jordan’s suspicions.
So he had no choice but to compromise. “Alright, we won’t go in then. Jordan, have you thought of a way to enter the town and become the Handley family’s neighbors?”
Jordan thought for a moment and said, “We will pretend to be scholars visiting this town for a rural experience.”
Rong Huangde nodded. “Alright, let’s get ready and change our clothes. When we get there, we’ll build a signal station. After that, you guys can make your move.”
As Rong Huangde spoke, he took out a bottle of champagne and poured four gla.s.ses of wine before handing one each to the others.
“Everyone, let’s cheer to us having a triumphant return!”
Rong Huangde said with a beam on his face.
“Triumphant return!”
Jordan and the others clinked gla.s.ses and downed their drinks.
Shaun thought to himself: ‘Heh heh, triumphant return? I’m the only one who will return victorious! All of you will die there! The next time I travel back to the present, I will be the master of the world!’
Shaun was very confident about this time travel. Rong Huangde will deliberately keep Shaun by his side and prevent him from entering the town to communicate with his father.
But Shaun was confident that he would definitely find an opportunity!
Without further delay, Jordan and the others immediately walked into the Time Gate.
…
1978.
It was a scorching day. The group arrived at Cocodrie in 1978. They felt as if they had stepped into an oven.
In order to match this era, everyone had changed into very thin shoes. As for their clothes, they were also simple outfits made of rough linen.
Although Lauren was only wearing a low-quality white s.h.i.+rt, she still looked extremely n.o.ble. No matter what a beauty wore, it could not hide her aura.
Lauren, who had just time-traveled, was not used to the air here and felt like the world was spinning.
Jordan held her hand and said, “Lauren, it’s always like this the first time. Rest for a while and get used to it.”
With that, Jordan sat on the yellow soil with Lauren.
Rong Huangde said, “You guys rest here first. I’ll start building the signal station now. After the signal station is built, we can communicate through our phones and other high-tech equipment.”
Jordan asked, “Mr. Rong, can you build a signal station alone?”
Rong Huangde smiled. “Didn’t you develop the artificial intelligence, Little Steele? You should know that my family’s artificial intelligence can easily do this!”
