1320 Dealing with the Enemy!
At that moment, Dragon rushed forward and said to Jordan, “Mr. Jordan, Lauren called just now. She’s very worried about you. She said that you should call her back as soon as you’re done here.”
Jordan was worried that Lauren’s emotions would be unstable, so he said to Victoria, “Wait for me. I’ll call Lauren back first and talk to you later.”
Victoria nodded appropriately. “Okay.”
However, she did not look happy and felt a little jealous.
!!
In the past, Victoria and Lauren were equivalent in Jordan’s heart. In fact, Jordan cared more about Victoria. Now, Victoria was ranked behind Lauren in everything she did.
Jordan called Lauren back. “Lauren, how are you? Are you okay?”
Lauren, who was in the capital, calmed down when she heard Jordan’s voice. “Jordan, I’m fine. I just haven’t heard your voice for a day and was a little worried about you. Are you alright? Did anything happen at Immortal Lake?”
Jordan told Lauren the truth, “I fought with the Moon Maiden, but we stopped when we had to. Neither of us was injured.”
Lauren was shocked. “What? You fought with the Moon Maiden? Hasn’t she always been good to you?”
Jordan said, “The Moon Maiden only attacked after I defeated Mike Baylor. If she didn’t, I would’ve killed Mike Baylor. Fortunately, she stopped me. If Mike Baylor died, we wouldn’t be able to start the grand plan. By the way, Lauren, I have something more important to tell you. I’ve agreed to their grand plan, and I’ve decided to make Victoria the fifth golden mutant. What do you think?”
Lauren did not expect Jordan to change his mind in such a short period of time. However, Lauren did not ask further about Jordan’s change. What she cared about the most was Jordan’s safety.
Lauren said, “I think it’s very good. No matter what, Victoria is still one of us. If Victoria becomes a golden mutant, the two of you won’t be afraid of the three of them.”
Jordan said, “Yes, that’s what I think too. However, the Moon Maiden doesn’t agree. She said that there will be a purple mutant compet.i.tion in three days. Whoever wins will be qualified. Victoria has been a purple mutant for the shortest time among these purple mutants. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for her to win the compet.i.tion.”
Lauren was also worried. “Huh? Is it that difficult? Hubby, you have to help Victoria think of a way. By the way, Hubby, why did you suddenly agree to their plan? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll lie to you?”
Jordan replied, “They’re not lying to me. I’ve also sensed that scene. It’s a… very familiar feeling. My intuition tells me that I’ll definitely summon that G.o.ddess with them.
“Since it’s going to have to be done sooner or later, I want this done in the shortest time possible, because you’re about to give birth. I want to get this over with before you have a baby and then concentrate on being with you. Otherwise, you won’t feel at ease having a baby with this mess around us all the time.”
Part of the reason why Jordan was willing to carry out the big plan with them so quickly was because of Lauren.
Jordan chatted with Lauren for a while more. He told her that he would look for her in the capital soon and hung up.
Subsequently, Jordan came to Victoria’s side.
Victoria asked with concern. “Is Lauren alright?”
Jordan smiled. “It’s fine. Thank you for your concern. Victoria, I know what you’re worried about now. Grachev is immune to your mental control, so you’re afraid of losing to him one-on-one. Actually, in my opinion, your ability is not inferior to Grachev’s at all. Grachev’s ability is a single-target attack, and yours is group control. You can only control one person, but it can’t let you unleash your full ability. Group control is the most powerful manifestation of your superpower.”
Victoria did not quite understand what Jordan meant. She said, “I can’t even control him alone. How can I control more people?”
Jordan said softly, “Victoria, during the purple mutant’s compet.i.tion that day, all the mutants will be watching the battle. Although the compet.i.tion is one-on-one and the other mutants won’t help, there’s a difference between actively attacking and pa.s.sively attacking. If you use mental control to control the other low-level mutants to attack, it’s not against the rules.”
Victoria immediately understood. “Oh, I understand now. You want me to control those mutants below the purple grade and get them to help me fight Grachev?”
Jordan nodded. “That’s right. There are dozens of mutants below purple-grade. You can control them in groups and let them break Grachev’s berserk state. Then, you can win.”
Victoria thought for a moment. If that was the case, then the odds of winning were indeed high. However, she was still a little worried. “Those low-level mutants won’t do. Salvatore, Dragon, and the others have all fought with Grachev before and were all killed in an instant. I’m afraid that even if dozens of them join forces, they might not be able to win. Is there a way to win against Grachev and the others?”
Jordan smiled and said, “Victoria, battles are always uncertain. If we can determine who will lose and who will win before we fight, then there’s no need to start a battle. In the past, when countless battles started, I didn’t know if I could win. In fact, many times, I won with a low probability. This is the meaning of a battle.
“I know you’re a woman and shouldn’t expect the same, but since you’re determined to become the strongest golden mutant, you should have the determination to fight a tough battle.”
“I know, but…”
Jordan said, “I’m going to the capital to accompany Lauren. Think about how to use the abilities of these dozens of mutants in the next two days. The talents of these dozens of mutants are different. You have dozens of different abilities at your disposal in an instant. If I were you, I would have an 80% confidence in defeating Grachev. I believe you can do it too. Call me if you need anything.”
After saying that, Jordan turned around and left.
Victoria looked at Jordan’s back sadly. Initially, when Jordan finally called her “Victoria”, she thought that the two of them could return to the past.
However, now, she understood that although Jordan no longer hated her and did not think that she was a bad woman who slept with anyone, Jordan had never thought of getting back together with her.
“Jordan.”
Victoria suddenly called out to Jordan.
Jordan turned around and looked at the serious Victoria. “What’s the matter?”
Victoria asked. “I want to ask you a question. If in three days I lose to either Grachev or the Moon Maiden, will you accept this result and pa.s.s your golden bloodline to them? Or does it have to be me?”
