When Jordan saw the tears on her face, he knew that his words must have moved her. She was so moved that she ran over, wanting to leave with Jordan.
Jordan explained gently, “Lauren, to be honest with you, we’re not going on a holiday this time. We’re going on a mission. This mission is definitely dangerous. I can’t bring you along because I might not have time to take care of your safety.”
It was very dangerous to travel back to the past, especially to the Handley family’s village from decades ago.
Everyone in that village had unique skills. They were not ordinary people.
Jordan was a Deity but could only barely protect himself. If he brought Lauren along, he couldn’t guarantee her safety. In addition, Lauren was pregnant now. She should be resting in the capital, not going to a sinister and terrifying place like Cocodrie.
But Lauren said firmly, “I don’t need you to take care of my safety. I can protect myself and you!”
“Huh?”
Jordan was stunned for a moment. He really wanted to ask Lauren if she knew what she was talking about.
He was a Deity. A Deity who had been injected with the Mirakuru serum.
How could a weak woman like her protect him?
“Lauren, stop fooling around… be good and stay in the capital to rest.”
Jordan did not believe Lauren.
Meanwhile, Shaun stood at the side and smiled. He naturally knew that Lauren was not joking or being unreasonable. The current Lauren might really have the ability to protect Jordan.
To prove herself, Lauren said, “I can stand here and knock out the pilot on your plane. Do you believe me?”
Jordan was very confused. “What are you talking about?”
Seeing that Jordan did not believe her, Lauren used her mental power to control a cat to sneak into the plane. Before long, one of Jordan’s subordinates walked out of the plane with a 30-pound white cat in his arms.
“Reporting, Sir! A fat cat invaded the cockpit. The pilot has been knocked unconscious. Master, do you want me to shoot this cat?”
“No! Don’t hurt my cat!”
Lauren hurried forward and took the white cat into her arms.
“Meow.”
The white cat licked Lauren’s fingers affectionately.
Jordan was stunned. “Lauren, this fat cat is yours?”
Lauren was a little embarrassed and nodded. “Yes, her name is Whitey…”
Shaun teased. “You might as well call it White Piggy. It can eat so much with its size. Do you want to train it to be a sumo wrestler?”
Jordan was very confused. “Lauren, how did you control this cat to enter the plane? Did you really do this?”
Lauren nodded. “Mr. Shaun taught me.”
Shaun smiled. “Haha, Jordan, I won’t hide it from you anymore. The last time I came here, I took your wife as my disciple and taught her my Handley family’s secret technique! Now, she can use her mental power to control cats, just like me. She just said that she doesn’t need your protection and can even protect you. She’s not being arrogant. She does have the ability now!”
What?
Lauren had become Shaun’s disciple?
Shaun was willing to teach his family’s secret technique to Lauren?
Seeing Jordan’s shocked expression, Lauren said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Hubby. I only decided to tell you now. I was afraid that you wouldn’t let me learn and practice, so I’ve been secretly practicing. Let me come with you. I can protect myself and help you!”
Jordan was in a dilemma.
Should he let Lauren come along?
To be honest, this trip would be more dangerous than all the other trips. Moreover, it was dangerous in several aspects.
The first source of danger was Cocodrie from decades ago. From the fact that Shaun was a product of this place from that era, it could be deduced how terrifying the Handley family was decades ago.
Shaun had killed Rong Bailun on his own. He had also brought a lot of trouble to Jordan and even nearly killed him once.
Shaun’s father and grandfather had died when he was very young, and his mother had brought him up. In other words, he might have only inherited less than half of the Handley family’s heaven-defying abilities.
That meant Shaun’s elders must be even more powerful and terrifying than him.
Of course, no matter how powerful a kitchen knife was, it could not compare to a cannon. In the end, they might all be killed by Rong Huangde with high-tech weapons.
The second source of danger was Shaun and Rong Huangde!
Jordan killed Shaun’s wife, indirectly killed his mother, and hindered his plans several times.
Similarly, Jordan had killed Rong Huangde’s grandson and fought with the Rong family several times.
Both Shaun and Rong Huangde had very good reasons to kill Jordan.
Going back in time to Cocodrie together, it was hard to guarantee that the two of them would not kill Jordan.
However, Jordan thought about it carefully. If he died there, they would definitely kill Lauren and the rest when they returned. But then again, he might as well bring Lauren along. Having an extra person on his side might really be of help.
In addition, Lauren’s attitude was so firm that Jordan really didn’t know how to reject her.
Jordan held her hand and said gently, “Alright then.”
“Thank you, Hubby!”
Lauren happily kissed him.
Shaun chuckled. He thought to himself: ‘Hehe, with Lauren around, it will be even easier for me to deal with Jordan.”
Previously, Shaun had kidnapped Lauren to threaten Jordan to help him.
Now, if Shaun wanted to kill Jordan, he just had to do the same thing again. It would be easier to capture Lauren first.
Jordan had no idea what Shaun was thinking at the moment.
Lauren asked happily, “Hubby, where are we going? Is it far?”
Shaun smiled. “Not far. Cocodrie.”
Lauren was a little surprised. “So close? I thought we were going overseas. We don’t have to take the plane to Cocodrie. We can just take the high-speed rail. I’ll book the tickets.”
Taking out her phone, she wanted to book the tickets.
“Hey, wait.”
Jordan quickly stopped her.
“Lauren, we’re going to Cocodrie, but not the one at present. We’re going to the past.”
“The past?”
Lauren was stunned.
Jordan held her hand and said, “Come, get on the plane. I’ll explain it to you.”
Jordan brought Lauren onto the plane and told her about the Rong family’s invention, the Time Gate. He also told her about his grudge against the Rong family, and how he had traveled back in time to save Victoria!
