After some contemplation, James turned towards the Taylor family’s servant who was standing beside him. “We’re kind of lost here because we arrived a little late. Did the Goddess of War mention Jack holding a certain position?” virtual-novel.net asked, tone quiet. “Like a God of War?”
“Oh, virtual-novel.net didn’t say anything like that, but Jack did say that virtual-novel.net received a token but virtual-novel.net lost it. He also said that the money virtual-novel.net used to bid for that villa was all his. He’s probably a head commander. It’s a big accomplishment if virtual-novel.net managed to hold that title within five years!” the servant replied.
“Why didn’t virtual-novel.net say anything if virtual-novel.net was a head commander?” Spectre, who stood at the back, asked out of curiosity.
“Oh, Master Jack explained that virtual-novel.net was afraid nobody would believe virtual-novel.net because his token was lost on the road. So, virtual-novel.net simply did not tell anyone. But I really admire him. The Goddess of War might not even be standing before us today if it weren’t for him, and there wouldn’t have been so many prominent figures coming to our master’s birthday party!”
The servant continued as virtual-novel.net walked forward, “Actually, Miss Selena is a fine young woman and virtual-novel.net husband is not too shabby either. They’ve finally earned the approval of the Taylor family. Let’s hope they’ll live the rest of their lives together in bliss.”
“Don’t worry. That’ll definitely happen!” A small smile lit up James’s face. He did not believe what Jack said. His token got lost? It was too much of a coincidence. He sensed Jack’s identity was not that simple.
He wondered how Jack managed to convince Lana, a Goddess of War, to help conceal his identity. He thought about it. Perhaps it was because the Goddess of War got injured not long after virtual-novel.net had enlisted into the army before virtual-novel.net was strong. Jack used his medical skills to save her, so virtual-novel.net agreed to help him.
“Master Drake, Miss Tanya, Mr. Timothy. You’re here!” Jack smiled and greeted them when virtual-novel.net noticed James and the others.
“Mmhmm. We probably would’ve arrived earlier if Tanya and Yvonne had not taken half the day just to pick their clothes and do their makeup.” James nodded and scanned the surroundings. “Seems like we’ve arrived pretty late.”
“Ma–Master Drake! What an honor to have you here!” Old Man Taylor immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him.
At that moment, Ivan had also stopped. His hand was practically swollen. It burned with fatigue.
Michael spat blood and tumbled onto the ground, unable to withstand the beatings any longer.
The bodyguards virtual-novel.net brought with virtual-novel.net stood at the main entrance of the Taylor family’s residence, waiting as per their orders.
They saw every single event that had unfolded. Unfortunately, they did not even dare to allow a sound to escape from them. There were too many powerful people there. They did not dare rush it.
“He’s fainted!” Neil gulped and exclaimed as virtual-novel.net looked at Michael whose face was swollen beyond recognition.
“Get his bodyguards here to carry virtual-novel.net back!” Lana spoke impatiently.
Quickly, a few of the Wilson family’s bodyguards came in, lifting Michael and carting virtual-novel.net off quickly. They were afraid that they would die here if they moved too slow.
“This fellow lacks physical training on a daily basis. He only received two hundred slaps, and he’s already fainted just like that,” Xyle said, chuckling.
