Chapter 714: Almighty Power Who Did Not Tolerate Irreverence!
Jordan and Hailey’s marriage was to temporarily hold off the other secret families from killing them. Meanwhile, Jordan would hide his true strength and bide his time. He would use his prediction ability to regain power and develop more advanced technologies and weapons than the other families!
In order to not let the other families ruin his plans, he had to pretend to obey and be resigned to his fate. This way, they would lower their guard against him!
As for whether Hailey had turned over a new leaf, Jordan did not care at all.
Of course, after the two of them got married, Hailey would be Jordan’s wife in name. He would never allow her to mess around with other men and affect his reputation.
Men cared a lot about their reputations.
!!
At this moment, a man in a doctor’s coat walked over with a smile. “Thank goodness, you’re finally awake! What exactly did that guy inject you with that caused you to have such a huge reaction? We kept giving you sedatives to stabilize you, that’s why you were unconscious for so long.”
Jordan was puzzled by the doctor’s words. “A guy? Injected me with something?”
Had Jordan been injected with something after being knocked unconscious by Jesse’s tranquilizer dart?
Who was that guy?
Did that guy have anything to do with his improved prediction ability?
Jordan stared at the doctor. He wanted to use his “superpower” to predict what this doctor would do to him next. However, this time, when he was fully focused on trying to get a vision, all he could see was a very blurry image.
‘d.a.m.n, I’m so tired. My head hurts.’
Jordan could only vaguely see the doctor checking his body. As for what the doctor was saying, he could not hear it at all.
‘It seems that I need a lot of mental strength to predict what will happen next. I’m too weak now…’
Jordan realized that his current mental strength was not enough to get good visions.
As expected, the doctor walked over and asked Jordan to sit down again. He then conducted a physical examination on him.
After the examination, the doctor said happily, “Congratulations, Mr. Jordan. You’re fine now. You should be very hungry. Go have a beer and eat something nice.”
With that, the doctor left.
While Jordan was having his check-up, Hailey had already peeled a pear and handed it to him. “Hubby, have some fruit first.”
Before long, the doctor returned and said, “Mr. Jordan, Mrs. Jordan, Master Park Chan-young instructed that your wedding will be held at the beach tomorrow afternoon. He said that he will personally attend the ceremony.”
It turned out that the doctor had gone out of the room earlier to inform Park Chan-young that Jordan was well.
Jordan found this doctor a little familiar. He asked, “Are you a doctor under the Steele family?”
The doctor replied, “Yes, I was recruited by Mr. Rowan 15 years ago.”
Jordan was furious. “You’re our doctor, but you call me Mr. Jordan while you call Park Chan-young Master? Can’t you tell who your real master is?!”
The doctor smiled. “Mr. Jordan, I’m afraid I’m not the one who doesn’t understand. The Steele family only exists in name now. Even the head of the Steele family, your elder brother Jesse, has become a servant of the seven families. The seven families have become the regents of the Steeles and control everything. There is nothing wrong with me calling Park Chan-young ‘master’.”
The doctor sounded extremely condescending toward Jordan.
Jordan was fuming. The Steele family had hundreds and thousands of subordinates like this doctor. They cherished talents and treated their subordinates very well. The Steeles were always respectful and did not behave like a high and mighty master. They also paid their subordinates very handsomely!
Now that the Steeles were controlled by the other secret families, this doctor switched sides so quickly. It was like he had completely forgotten the kindness which the Steeles had shown him in the past 15 years!
Jordan looked at the doctor. “Yes, you are right. You did the right thing. Tell me your name!”
The doctor snorted disdainfully. “What? You want to know my name and take revenge on me? Hehe, I’m not afraid. You’re not even the head of the Steele family now. Even your brother, Jesse, is a dog of the other families. You? You’re worse than a dog!”
Before Jordan could flare up, Hailey blew up first. “How can you say such things? Why are you scolding my husband? My husband only asked for your name. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. Why do you have to insult him? You’re so ill-mannered!”
The doctor was still hostile. “Hmph, so what if I insult him. What can he do to me? F*ck you! I never liked the Steeles to begin with! Back then, I wanted to work for the Addington family but I wasn’t hired. I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and come to you. I never wanted to work for the Steeles!”
By now, Jordan was certain that this fellow was just a detestable beast who would bite the hand that feeds it! Without hesitation, Jordan s.n.a.t.c.hed the fruit knife from Hailey’s hand and stabbed it into the doctor’s throat!
Although Jordan’s body was still rather weak, this action took less than a second.
With lightning speed, Jordan killed the doctor!
“Since you don’t want to say your name, just die!”
Jordan wanted to know the doctor’s name so that when he finally regained his status, he would call that doctor over to punish him, to make him regret his betrayal! But since the doctor refused to reveal his name, Jordan went ahead to just kill him.
Jordan was a Deity. He was an almighty power who did not tolerate irreverence!
“Ah! Hubby, why did you kill him…”
Hailey was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Jordan did not bother explaining himself to Hailey. He went to the washroom and washed his face.
Picking up his phone, he called Lauren, but no one answered.
Jordan called Victoria next.
“h.e.l.lo, Hubby?” Victoria immediately picked up his call, sounding very anxious.
Jordan answered. “Yes, it’s me.”
Victoria was extremely excited. “Hubby, you’re finally awake. Do you know how worried and scared I was the past two weeks?”
Jordan smiled faintly. “I’m sorry for making you and Lauren worry. By the way, where are you now?”
Victoria replied, “I’m back in the US.”
Jordan said, “Back in the US. That’s good. You should be with Lauren, right? I called her just now, but she didn’t answer. I called to tell you something. Hailey and I are getting married tomorrow. Don’t worry, I won’t really treat her as my wife. This is just a temporary measure. Wait for me. After I have enough strength to deal with the other families, I’ll get Hailey to scram as far as possible.”
Hearing Jordan’s words, Victoria fell into a dilemma.
Should she tell Jordan about Lauren being kidnapped?
