No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 501

Selena rolled her eyes at her mother before returning to her house as well.

“So much money and that happens to be the George family, you know. They are wealthier than our

Taylor family. He actually…” Fiona frowned while she watched the couple’s attitude. It seemed it would

be slightly difficult if she wanted to pull the whole ordeal off.

However, her heart felt incredible when she thought about the George family’s assets. She truly could

not understand how jackie could be that foolish since he would be able to marry another beautiful wife on

top of getting so much money. How could he not agree to such a wonderful offer?

Although Joan already promised her that she would help talk to him, she understood her son very well so

she never exactly did.

Instead, it was Ben and Xena who both shamelessly came to talk to jackie the next morning. This made

jackie feel even more confused about them.

Selena instead behaved slightly more normal and calm the following couple of days. She returned home

punctually every day.

Similarly, jackie did nothing much too since he would only sit around in the courtyard leisurely the

following days. Ivan was immensely disappointed when he spent days on end spying on the mansion to

spot jackie and the wealthy lady, dating.

Old Master Taylor’s birthday was soon approaching and Neil’s men did not notice jackie buying any

luxurious gifts for the Old Master.

Just the night before Old Master Taylor’s birthday, Ivan and Neil were both drinking together.

“That’s odd, why didn’t jackie or the wealthy lady move in even after they bought that mansion? I kept a

lookout as much as I could during the day and night as well. Godd*mmit, I am exhausted from the

constant lookout but I never noticed jackie ever returning to the mansion ever again!” Ivan frowned and

said, “Wasn’t this mansion bought to be their love nest so they could date in private?”

“That wealthy lady is incredibly rich and ninety million dollars isn’t a lot of money to her. Could jackie

have asked her to buy that mansion for him so he could use it to gift to Old Master Taylor during his

seventieth birthday?” After some thought, Neil said, “My men had been following jackie around for a

couple of days now and they too had not noticed jackie buying anything expensive. He was basically just

going to and from work every day.”

“It’s very likely though since jackie isn’t a fool. If the mansion happens to be his dating spot with that

wealthy lady, he would know it’s easy for them to be caught by you guys since it’s literally just opposite

Taylor’s family home. Besides, the possibility of them running into you guys would be extremely high

when they enter or exit the mansion anyway! Hence, I presume that the mansion was a gift jackie

begged the lady for so he could then use it as a gift for Old Master Taylor! It seems their dating spot

would be at a different location!”

Ken began to make assumptions as he said, “As for Young Master Ivan running into them previously

though, the woman was just checking the place out since it’s only natural for her to want to check out a

new place she had just bought, right!”

“Yeah!” Ivan nodded and said, “If that’s the case, jackie will no doubt be able to butter up to Old Master

Taylor tomorrow and he wouldn’t be exiled from the Taylor family then. It seems we will have to wait for at

least two days before getting Xena to make a move on him again.”

…

“Honey, have you prepared a gift for Grandpa’s seventieth birthday tomorrow? You’ve been going to

work every day and I didn’t notice you bringing any gifts back. You know, tomorrow happens to be

Grandpa’s seventieth birthday right!” Selena could not help herself from asking as she laid in bed at

night.

“I’ve prepared it way before this already. Grandpa will no doubt love it!” jackie chuckled calmly.

Chapter 502

Selena frowned after hearing jackie said that. Could the gift jackie mentioned be the mansion? Could

that mean jackie actually won the auction for that mansion? However, the Drake family never gave jackie

advanced pay though. Could that be a gift from the wealthy lady to jackie and that was jackie’s gift for

her grandpa?

Selena would not look down on jackie even if he became a sugar baby just for the sake of staying in the

Taylor family because she had already decided that even if jackie could not fulfill his promises and was

not acknowledged by the Taylor family, she would still stay by his side. She believed if they do not have

money, they could make money together instead of using such methods to make money just for the sake

of being acknowledged by the Taylor family.

Not to mention, if news of jackie being a sugar baby broke out, Old Master Taylor might actually be

incredibly furious about it. He would rather not accept a mansion if that was the case since he would feel

incredibly ashamed of it.

“Oh, that’s right honey, I’m planning to give you a surprise tomorrow night!”

She did not expect jackie to say that after pondering about something for a brief moment.

“Really? It would be extremely surprising for me if you could bring the gift along with the ten million

dollars for Ivan tomorrow!” Selena chuckled bitterly. She did not probe deeper about the gift he prepared

for Old Master Taylor was since she would eventually find out tomorrow.

…

Fiona and everyone else got up early the next morning.

“Dress better and don’t embarrass us since it is Old Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday today. Old

Master Taylor even personally gave us a call yesterday to have us arrive earlier!”

Fiona started rushing everyone early in the morning.

At this moment, jackie was dressed in a suit he had just bought yesterday. He looked even more

stunning than before.

“Yes, this suit is not bad. Truly, a more expensive suit would feel different when a person puts it on!”

Fiona nodded satisfyingly before asking jackie, “Oh, that’s right jackie, where’s the gift you’re planning to

give the old master? You wouldn’t have not prepared anything didn’t you?”

Fiona dimmed when she noticed jackie’s empty hands as she said, “We didn’t prepare anything you

know. Since you’re giving a ten million dollars worth of a gift and we’re a family so we are able to save on

bringing one. You can’t embarrass us now, okay!”

jackie chuckled calmly as he replied, “Oh, mother-in-law, don’t you worry. The gift is already prepared

since it’s not that big, I’m able to carry it in my pocket!”

“That small?” Fiona glanced at jackie as she wondered if he was bringing a disappointing gift and

claiming it to be luxurious? Or else, how could such an item fit in his pocket?”

“It is indeed quite small!” jackie nodded.

“ jackie, are you sure the value of your gift is worth ten million? We didn’t prepare anything and you’re

going to be the representative of our family, okay?”

Andrew was also dressed in branded clothing. He even got his hair done yesterday intentionally.

“I am very certain!” jackie nodded once again.

“Let’s go then. The old master happened to prepare twenty tables at the event!” Ben cheerfully

exclaimed.

jackie smiled as he took a glance at Xena before frowning instinctively. This woman was not a good

person since she thought of Ben as only a rebound guy. However, Ben was still naively dating her. He

actually forgave her even after the previous incident.

Chapter 503

However, what made jackie feel odd was, Xena seemed honest and was staying by Ben’s side all the

time. This made him wonder if she actually had turned over a new leaf after the boss of the bike group

died?

However, with much deeper thought, that possibility seemed quite likely. Xena might feel hopeful again

after seeing jackie giving Fiona twenty million dollars on top of gaining George family’s favor when their

Taylor family were given two Rolls Royces. Moreover, both jackie and Selena each had a Porsche 911.

These assets alone were more than enough for Xena to turn over a new lead and change her mind to be

with Ben.

It did not take them long to arrive at the Taylor family home with their cars.

“I didn’t expect them to be able to drive such a car when they’re still living in that dump!” Cecilia mocked

immediately after she noticed jackie and the others arrive.

“Yeah, I heard jackie knew of some medical skills and had successfully treated Sharon’s obesity. Those

Rolls Royces were gifted by the George family. it’s not even bought by their own money, so it’s nothing

praiseworthy!” Another Taylor family member chuckled coldly.

“I am quite interested to see just what kind of a gift jackie will give Old Master Taylor today!” Cecilia

cackled coldly while she mocked.

“What gift have you prepared?” The man next to her asked Cecelia.

Cecilia chuckled calmly and said, “Doesn’t the old master love drinking tea? I’ve gone out of my way to

buy two bricks of Pu’er tea. It’s over two hundred years old and it’s worth over sixty thousand dollars! It’s

not easy to get my hands on them, I had to call in a favor from my friend!”

“Not bad, it seems you know how to butter up to people’s interests. You’ve gone all out this time!” The

man spoke in a surprised tone after hearing Cecilia’s reply.

Cecilia chuckled immediately and said, “Come on, it’s the old master’s seventieth birthday, right? It’s not

a regular birthday so obviously, I had to prepare a better gift so the old master would be happy.”

“I am quite curious to see just what kind of a gift that son-in-law jackie would prepare. A gift that’s worth

over ten million dollars is considered a literal treasure though. Regular items would not be that

expensive!” The man took a glance at jackie before cackling out loud.

“Yeah, it’s still early and the registration staff is not here yet. I heard registration starts at eleven and the

meal will begin at noon!” Cecilia said with a laugh.

“ jackie, you b*stard!” He did not expect both Ivan and the Old Master of the Taylor family, Theodore

would storm over here furiously.

“No way, right? Didn’t we just get out of the car? We didn’t even do anything so why is Ivan mad?” Ben

was stunned when he noticed the situation. How could they angered anyone when they did not even do

anything yet.

“ jackie, who gave you the right to decide? You sure have some guts!” Theodore was also storming out

furiously. His expression was pale from being so furious.

“What’s the matter, Theodore? We’ve just arrived and shouldn’t our cars be parked here? Have we

parked at the wrong spot?” Andrew looked confused as well as he had no idea what was happening.

“The old master had said that only twenty tables would be set up. However, when we walked to the back,

it was completely filled with extra tables. Heck, tables were even placed on the grass. I’ve asked the

kitchen staff and they told me that jackie came over yesterday to have them set up two hundred and

twenty tables!”

Theodore seemed like he was about to cough up blood from being agitated. Every single table was

already expensive for the old master’s seventieth birthday since all of the alcohol and cigarettes were

expensive.

They even hired a chef from a luxurious hotel for this event. However, only the Taylor family members

were invited.

They did not expect that for the brief moment of jackie’s arrival yesterday, he actually told the chef to

prepare two hundred and twenty tables and the main point was, the hotel actually made arrangements

for that many tables.

Chapter 504

” jackie, this, is this real? Did you know how much a table costs? Our preparations this time are very

lavish and expensive. The food menu is pretty classy and it costs sixty thousand per table. Twenty tables

would be 1.2 million dollars! Why did you prepare an additional two hundred tables? Did you know how

much these extra tables would cost? That will set you back by ten million dollars!”

Andrew’s face dimmed. If that was true then jackie would have been too bold since it would be very

unnecessary to do that.

“No way right, jackie? You dropped by yesterday?”

Ben was also frowning as jackie seemed to be a magnet for trouble. They finally had some peaceful

days and he did not expect him to pull a stunt like that during the Old Master’s seventieth birthday.

“What on Earth was going on back there? I’ve asked the chefs as to why are there so many tables laid

out and they said one of us had ordered them to lay out 220 tables!”

Old Master Taylor stormed out furiously at this moment. He seemed incredibly furious.

“Grandpa, it was jackie who had made them do such an arrangement. I’ve asked them and they said

someone whose last name was White, a member of our Taylor family told them to do so. Tell me, which

one of us in the Taylor family has the last name, White?”

Ivan immediately came forward to speak out. He was delighted in his heart. It seemed that jackie was

truly a fool since he had already infuriated the Old Master the moment they showed up. He had already

intended to have him exiled from the Taylor family today. He did not expect he would present him with

such an opportunity on his own. He only had himself to blame now.

“Impossible!” The instant Selena heard that statement, she immediately said, “You guys only know the

person’s last name. I think you guys must’ve wrongly accused jackie now! I think someone was pulling

something behind our backs by pretending to be one of the members of our Taylor family and claiming

that person’s last name happened to be White. Just to pin the blame on jackie!”

“Yeah, good point! It could be caused by one of us here!” Fiona glared at Ivan when she made that

statement.

Since Ivan absolutely loved pulling tricks and she believed that no matter how bold jackie was, he would

not be bold enough to do anything like this. Ivan on the other hand would be very likely to do something

like this.

“What are you staring at me for, Fiona? Do you actually think it’s me? What reason do I have to do

something like this?” Ivan did not expect Fiona would stare at him. He was incredibly furious at that

moment. Although he intended to trap jackie, he would never think of pulling a stunt like that. He would

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

not mind giving such a stunt a try if he had thought of it initially though.

Xena wanted to speak up for Ivan since she was currently Ivan’s girlfriend. However, she was afraid of

exposing herself. To keep her identity a secret and gain jackie’s trust, she also came forward to speak for

jackie, “we never accused you of anything so why did you come forward yourself? It seems you are guilty

of something!”

“You…” Ivan was incredibly furious as he did not expect Xena would actually side with jackie.

However, he was no fool. It did not take him long to understand what Xena was thinking so he spoke with

a cold look, “You have no evidence anyway so you can’t blindly accuse anyone. I have asked them and

they told me it was a guy with the last name of White. That person had ordered the hotel to prepare an

additional two hundred tables!”

“My son will never do such a thing and I believe him! He wouldn’t order so many extra tables for nothing!”

Joan also frantically spoke up for jackie.

“Yeah, my father would not do such a thing!” Kylie too sided with jackie as she stared at Ivan with

resentment before adding, “You big meanie, only you would do it! You’re framing my father!”

“I…” Ivan was fuming since that little brat actually called him a big meanie. This infuriated him into

oblivion.

Chapter 505

”It might actually be Ken, Neil, or Micheal since they’ve always hated jackie anyway. They did this to

target jackie!” After remaining silent for a brief moment, Selena made that assumption.

jackie had a peculiar look on his face as he stood by the side. He did not expect everyone to jump to his

defense before he could even speak up for himself. He was incredibly touched by this.

“regarding if it was jackie’s doing or not, we’ll just have the hotel staff come over since they met the

person anyway!” Ivan chuckled maniacally as he stared at jackie. He believed it must have been jackie

since that person’s last name was White. It would be a miracle if that was not jackie.

As for why jackie was this foolish to have done that was not that important anymore. Having so many

extra tables would at least cost ten million dollars. He was interested to see what jackie would do.

“You can stop asking now, it’s me!” jackie let out a bitter chuckle before waving both hands around as he

replied.

“Look, look at him now, you guys. He’s admitted it!” Theodore immediately pointed at jackie before yelling

at him, “It seems he is also afraid of us calling the hotel staff over because he knew he will be exposed

real soon so he was forced to admit!”

“ jackie, it’s really you? Oh, how you’ve disappointed our trust in you. I didn’t expect it to be your doing!”

Fiona almost started to stomp her feet around from being so infuriated. She had never expected that her

troublemaker of a son-in-law would start stirring up trouble again after they finally have some peaceful

days. He was truly a jinx!

“ jackie, you really are… I have no words for you. Why would you order two hundred tables for no

reason?” Selena nearly passed out from how furious she was.

“No way right? It’s really Daddy?” Kylie bashfully lowered her head as she felt as if she had made a

mistake. This little rascal had just spoken up for her own father but she did not expect, it was really her

father’s doing.

“ jackie, why did you order so many extra tables for no reason?” Although Joan had faith in her own son,

she was also startled by what jackie had said.

Old Master Taylor’s expression dimmed before exclaiming, “If you think it’s funny to do such a thing, you

can leave today.”

Ivan was incredibly delighted after hearing that statement. He immediately said, “ jackie, you owe us an

extremely clear explanation today. Could you have ordered an extra two hundred tables which were

going to cost an extra 12 million as a gift for Grandpa? This isn’t a gift, jackie, this is a surprise, right?”

The other Taylor family members had long since gathered around them. Everyone was speechless when

they heard that. Indeed, an extra two hundred tables would cost ten million now, right?

If this happened to be a gift, it seemed that this guy was a fool and his head had been kicked by a

donkey.

“Should I really explain this anyway?” jackie chuckled calmly as he said, “I ordered that many tables

because I know twenty tables alone would never be enough. There will be a lot of guests coming today

and I’m even worried if two hundred and twenty tables would even be enough!”

“what a joke. How many guests would be present anyway? Do you think we won’t have a rough estimate

in our heads?” Theodore chuckled and said, “When we held the sixtieth birthday for the old master back

then, the relatives and some friends we are close to only filled seventeen to eighteen tables. Our twenty

tables would be more than enough now!”

Chapter 506

”More than two hundred tables? that is basically impossible. How can we have that many guests?” One

of the Taylor family members started cackling out loud. The way he was looking at jackie seemed like he

was staring at a madman.

Cecilia was also laughing as she said, “Aside from the members of our Taylor family, it would only be

regular wealthy merchants who have good ties with us. In addition to a few third-class aristocratic

families that are close to us. Those second or first-class families will never show up because they all look

down on us, third-class aristocratic families. Therefore, there can never be that many people present!”

“ jackie, this isn’t the gift you prepared now, right? This isn’t considered a gift, right? You came empty-

handed and it seems like this happened to be a gift you’ve prepared for the old master?” Ivan chuckled

coldly.

“This isn’t a gift. I just so happened to request those tables for you guys only! Don’t you worry, if the

Taylor family is unwilling to foot the bill for those tables, I will pay for it when the bill comes later!” jackie

chuckled calmly as he seemed completely unbothered by any of it.

“Nonsense. Of course, you’ll have to foot the bill when it was you who ordered that many tables. Are you

expecting us to pay the bills for you?” Ivan exclaimed furiously immediately, “The most we will do is pay

for the original twenty tables we’ve ordered.”

“No way, how can jackie fork out that much money?” The moment Fiona heard they wanted jackie to

cough up twelve million dollars, she panicked.

From her perspective, jackie’s money was also her money since Selena was married to jackie anyway.

Now that jackie had already given her twenty million, he was now considered one of them. Not to

mention, she still had to rely on jackie to marry Sharon. When that happens, it would be amazing for her

if the George family became part of their family, right?

“It’s his fault for randomly placing the order anyway so it’s only natural for him to pay the bill. This has

nothing to do with us!” Ivan chuckled maniacally. He then added, “I’ll see just what you’re going to do

with the remaining two hundred tables and food. Are you going to eat all of the food yourself or are you

going to be a charitable man by giving away the food to the poor on the streets?!”

Everyone started laughing after hearing that statement. It seemed the thought process for this son-in-law

was indeed an oddity to have ordered an extra two hundred tables for absolutely no reason.

“Don’t worry, there will be a lot of wealthy merchants that will show up this time. Those who have never

made their presence before will show up this time. Not to mention, those first and second-class families

that never came back then will be present this time. Therefore, I am quite worried that those two hundred

plus tables won’t be enough to accommodate all of them!”

“keep boasting. How could that many people show up? This happens to be my grandpa’s birthday, not

the birthday of the God of War, you know!” Ivan was cackling out loud as he felt that jackie was making

an extremely huge joke.

“ jackie, are you intentionally insulting us by making that statement? I, your grandfather isn’t some

reputable man so how could people like marshals or Kings of War even bother to show up to celebrate a

birthday of a third-class aristocratic family like us? Not to mention, those first and second-class families

will never show up!” Old Master Taylor’s expression dimmed as he found what jackie said, insulting.

If it was not for Selena sealing a major business deal for the Taylor family a few days ago, sparking hope

for the Taylor family becoming a second-class aristocratic family in the next two years, he wanted nothing

more than to kick jackie out immediately. However, he had no choice since she was still his own

granddaughter and had done such a huge favor for the Taylor family so, he had to hold back his anger.

He let out a bitter chuckle before saying, “Forget it then. Let’s just forget about this ordeal for now since

what’s done is already done and the hotel has sent so many staff over with so many waiters on top of so

much food. We don’t have much of a choice now anyway.”

“Dad, no matter what happens, jackie has to be the one to pay the bill later!” Theodore exclaimed after

some thought.

As Old Master Taylor was just about to nod, he did not expect a man that was responsible for the guest

reception yelled out from the entrance, “Marshal Dennis is here to celebrate Old Master Taylor’s

seventieth birthday!”

The old man was stunned. He was shocked that a marshal would actually show up to celebrate his

birthday when his family was only a third-class aristocratic family?

Chapter 507

Not to mention, he had never even heard of the name of this marshal before.

“A marshal came?”

“That happens to be quite a capable marshal. How awesome! It seems our old master will be very

reputable now!”

A few of the Taylor family members looked very delighted. Since even a marshal came, would that not

make their family proud?

It seemed if any other third-class aristocratic families found out about this, they would all be envious of

their Taylor family.

“That rascal sure came early!” jackie cracked a calm smile when he noticed Dennis. He did not expect

Dennis would be the first one to show up when the others had not arrived yet.

“Why did Dennis show up? Isn’t he a good friend of Ken’s? Could he have come because he knew that

Ken is coming?” Ivan’s expressions dimmed before softly whispering to Old Master Taylor, “Grandpa,

Dennis happens to be a good friend to Young Master Ken. Since Young Master Ken is a close friend of

mine and he’s coming today, Dennis might be coming because of how close both me and Young Master

Ken are. This isn’t too surprising.”

“Young Master Ken is coming? The Clark family happens to be a second-class aristocratic family

though!” Theodore was stunned with joy as he said, “Ivan, you sure are something. I didn’t expect you to

get Young Master Ken from the Clark family to show up too!”

“Not only that, don’t forget, I know Michael Wilson and Young Master Hugo too. They are all coming.

They’re only coming because of me!” Ivan started cackling maniacally in that instant. He was clear that

they were all here just to watch jackie embarrass himself.

Ivan was worried that if he did not explain himself when all three of them show up later, everyone else

might assume that jackie was right.

Hence, he added after some thought, “Therefore, aside from those few people, everyone else that jackie

mentioned earlier will never show up!”

Just as he was done speaking, Dennis had already approached them.

“Greetings, Marshal Dennis. I truly didn’t expect you would grace our Taylor family with your presence!”

Theodore immediately came forward to greet him while chuckling.

“Greetings, Master Theodore, Old Master Taylor. I wish you a long and healthy life!” Dennis spoke while

waving his hand.

“you’re too kind, too kind indeed!” Zeus cackled out loud as he was very happy from receiving that wish.

However, he heard everything Ivan said earlier, and aside from those people he had mentioned, he might

not be expecting any more guests to show up.

“Major Trent has arrived to wish Old Master Taylor a very happy seventieth birthday!”

“Major Pendragon Mace has arrived to wish Old Master Taylor a very happy seventieth birthday!”

Just at this very moment, the receptionist called out once again.

“Two more majors?”

All of the Taylor family members were all looking at each other and were wondering if they had all

misheard anything.

Chapter 508

Old Master Taylor gulped as he was wondering if he was dreaming. Three majors came. Those

happened to be majors and they commanded at least a few thousand to tens of thousands of men on the

battlefield.

He did not expect them to show up to celebrate his seventieth birthday with him!

“What’s the matter? Young Master Ivan, didn’t you say that not many people would show up?” jackie said

while chuckling calmly.

“no matter what, they still can’t fill all two hundred tables!” Ivan was also chuckling as he believed jackie

was merely lucky. Moreover, those two majors might actually be very close to Marshal Dennis hence,

their presence.

“The master of the Clark family has arrived with the members of the Clark family to celebrate Old Master

Taylor’s seventieth birthday!”

“The master of the Hugo family has arrived with the members of the Hugo family to celebrate Old Master

Taylor’s seventieth birthday!”

“The master of the Wilson family has arrived with the members of the Wilson family to celebrate Old

Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday!”

It did not take long for three series of announcements to be made from the main entrance. All three

second-class aristocratic families actually came as well.

All three masters had brought along all three of their young masters in addition to some high ranking

members of their respective families here. More than ten people actually showed up in an instant.

Their bodyguards were all stationed outside.

“They actually came!” Zeus felt slightly surprised when the masters of those three families showed up as

well. He initially thought that only the young masters of those three families would come. However,

unexpectedly, the masters tagged along as well.

Both Theodore and Zeus immediately came forward to greet them.

A constant stream of guests came after that. However, those were people that Old Master Taylor and the

others had expected.

Those people that jackie claimed that would show up seemed to be absent.

“weren’t you extremely confident earlier, jackie? Look at how many people had shown up now? Those

two hundred tables worth of guests are all just air now?” Ivan chuckled before mocking jackie.

“Isn’t it still very early? It isn’t even time for the gift reception anyway. Where’s the fun in showing up

early, right?” jackie chuckled calmly since the person tasked for the gift reception had not arrived yet.

After another moment had passed, the person tasked with gift reception had finally arrived.

“So many people had arrived already!”

After that person got seated, a few staff were tasked with receiving gifts from the guests and some were

tasked in noting the gifts down.

“Grandpa, I won’t be noting my gift down. I’ll just hand it to you directly since we’re a family anyway!”

Cecilia smiled and took out the gift she had prepared as she said, “The gift I prepared for you is two

bricks of Pu’er tea that had been dried for two centuries. It’s not that expensive since it only costs 600

thousand dollars. The main thing is, such a gift is hard to find!”

Cecilia was quite detailed in her introduction. She was obviously trying to show off.

The other guests went over to get themselves registered aside. They were mostly giving out money as

their gifts. Of course, these people would not be frugal with the amount they were giving. They would fork

out at least eight to ten thousand dollars.

“Grandpa, this is something I’ve prepared for you… It’s a jade statue of Guanyin. This is very well carved

but it’s not that expensive. It’s merely eight million dollars!” Ivan had also made his move. He took out a

twenty centimeters tall jade statue of Guanyin from a box. It looked very impressive.

“Is this made from Hetian jade? It’s not bad, the coloration is impressive and it’s very intricately carved.

Thank you!” Old Master Taylor nodded satisfyingly. He could tell how sincere Ivan was to go out of his

way to pick out a gift for him.

Chapter 509

The other Taylor family members all came forward to give Old Master Taylor their gifts. Of course, the

gifts they presented could not compare with what Cecilia or Ivan had offered but they were quite

expensive too. Those gifts averaged around a hundred to two hundred thousand dollars. Hence, they

were still considered luxurious gifts.

“Alright, old master. The gifts have been recorded here. I will be recording down any other gifts that will

be given later!” The staff responsible for the gift reception recorded everything about the guests that

came earlier before making that statement.

“What are you still standing around for? Aren’t you going to present your gift?” Fiona’s expression

dimmed after noticing jackie had not done anything yet. It was unsure what jackie was thinking since he

had not made a move yet.

“Yeah, brother-in-law, you wouldn’t have not brought anything with you now, would you? Hurry up and

present it!” Ben was also pretty impatient.

“ jackie, don’t you forget about our bet. If you aren’t able to fulfill your end of the bargain, you will have to

be exiled from the Taylor family!” Ivan reminded him as if he was worried that jackie might have forgotten

about their bet.

“I know. I know that once I present the gift, you guys will acknowledge me as the son-in-law of the Taylor

family, right?” jackie said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes. Now hurry up and show us a gift that is worth over ten million dollars!” Cecilia giggled as

she said, “Both of your hands are empty. What exactly is your gift that could be so tiny and expensive at

the same time when you’re carrying it with you?”

Upon noticing everyone forcing jackie to present his gift, Michael, Neil, and Ken came to spectate. They

were all waiting for the moment where jackie was unable to present his gift and being exiled from the

Taylor family.

“ jackie, I heard that you have won the bid for that mansion. I’m not sure if that’s true or not? Could that

be the gift you’re planning to give the old master?” Ken said after some thought.

“What! jackie won the bid for that mansion?” After Fiona heard him say that, she immediately turned to

look toward that mansion across the street. That happened to be an entire villa and it should cost about

twenty to thirty million dollars. When exactly did jackie buy a mansion? How could he have not told them

about it?

The corner of jackie’s mouth twitched slightly. He initially was planning to bring Selena over to surprise

her after the event was done. He did not expect that b*stard Ken would expose the entire thing here.

How could he still give Selena a surprise now?

“Brother-in-law, is that true? Is that the gift you’ve bought for the old master?” Ben gulped as he found

jackie amazing. That mansion was not cheap and jackie was able to win the bid for it.

Ivan immediately said when he noticed jackie’s expressions dimmed, “ jackie, there’s a lot of guests here

at the moment and we’re actually saving your pride for exposing it now. Or else, when more people show

up later, you’d embarrass yourself even more!”

Selena stood calmly on the side. Judging from the looks of things, Ken did not intentionally try to strain

their relationship by spouting nonsense. Since that mansion was actually bought by jackie after all.

She was curious to hear jackie’s explanation at that very moment. If jackie actually had a relationship

with that wealthy lady behind her back, not only would the Taylor family members exile him, she too

would want him to leave too. That was because jackie would have completely disappointed her if that

was the case.

“I actually bought that mansion. I spent 95 million dollars on it. Young Master Ivan, you should know that

better than anyone else, since you helped me shine my shoe after that!”

jackie let out a bitter chuckle as he took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly took a puff.

Chapter 510

Ivan’s expression immediately dimmed after hearing that statement. Was jackie not trying to intentionally

embarrass him? However, he was not exactly bothered by being embarrassed as long as he was able to

get jackie exiled from the Taylor family today. Everything would be worth it for him.

“95 million? Was it really that expensive?” Cecilia gasped after hearing that as she said, “So, in order to

increase the value of your gift to the old master, you intentionally spoke a random amount, jackie?”

“Regardless of whether it’s worth that much or not, is an afterthought. However, I actually spent that

much on that house to win the bid. If you don’t believe me, you can ask both Young Master Neil and

Young Master Ken. They were both there on that day as well!” jackie calmly replied.

“Young Master Ken, Young Master Neil, did he actually spend that much money? I refuse to believe him,

the son-in-law who was enlisted as a soldier for five years can fork out that much money!” Cecilia was

very dissatisfied. She was dissatisfied because she could never have forked out that much money and

was she actually inferior to the son-in-law?

“He actually did. The thing is, Young Master Ivan too had his eye on that mansion and wanted to bid for

the mansion as a gift for Old Master Taylor so he went to the auction that day. However, he did not

expect jackie to be present as well…” Ken laughed before continuing, “So, both of them wanted to bid for

it. They even made a bet that the loser would shine the winner’s shoe. Young Master Ivan conceded in

the end and jackie won the bid for that house!”

Fiona clenched her fist furiously as she listened from aside. She was fuming. jackie happened to be

wasting too much money now. He actually wanted to snatch it from Ivan. Why could he not just give it to

Ivan? That house was not even worth more than ninety million anyway.

Besides, he initially agreed to only a ten million dollars gift for the old master anyway. Could he not have

bought anything else that cost ten million dollars? He could have saved eighty million dollars then. Even

if jackie did not want this much money, it would be better off just giving it to her. His mother-in-law

happened to be short in cash anyway. Of course, she merely kept those thoughts to herself. As unhappy

as she was, she could not speak her mind in front of everyone then. Besides, jackie spent that much

money to win the bid for that house while making Ivan shine his shoe for him at the same time. This had

earned some form of pride or glory to their family.

At this moment, Ken chuckled coldly as he said, “However, I’ve had people look into jackie and he never

requested for an advance paycheck from Miss Tanya. Coincidentally, we ran into the same wealthy lady

from the previous auction together with jackie again. Cough! Cough! This meant that the money came

from that wealthy woman. The hard-earned money of that wealthy woman it seems!” Ken emphasized

his tone when he said ‘hard-earned money’ as if he was trying to hint at something. He even slowed

down when he said that.

“That’s right. That gift came from the bed, it seems!” After Michael heard that, he burst out laughing. How

could Ivan not tell him when he knew so much information.

However, that was not important now since jackie, their son-in-law had utterly disgraced the entirety of

the Taylor family now. If what Ivan said was true, it would be a miracle for jackie to not be exiled from the

Taylor family immediately. He believed that as long as jackie was no longer in the picture to stop him, he

would have a chance to pursue Selena.

“ jackie, what they’re saying, is it true? Were you really together with that wealthy lady?”

Fiona had nearly passed out from being agitated. Neil had told them about it previously and she thought

they were intentionally spouting nonsense. However, Selena did not exactly probe deeper regarding that

ordeal so the entire matter was dropped.

Chapter 511

Who would have known that they would mention that incident today. It would be extremely shameful if

jackie had actually afforded the villa by being a sugar baby. It would be even more shameful if his sugar

mommy was very old. Maybe in her seventies, even eighties? That was shame beyond words!

“There isn’t any sugar mommy, they’re just kidding,” jackie smiled and tried to explain himself.

“You can stop denying.” Ken laughed and then continued, “We have photos to prove our words!”

Old Master Taylor was all the more confused. He turned to Ivan and asked, “Ivan, what’s going on here?

What about the auction? What about the rich woman?”

That was when Ivan detailed the situation to Old Master Taylor. Of course, he did not forget to mention

that jackie had bought the villa in an auction.

Old Master Taylor’s face darkened with each word. His face was almost pale when he said, “I’ve

wondered how you were able to fork out over ninety million to buy the villa without advance payment of

your salary. There’s only one possibility and that is, getting money from your sugar mommy.” He then

pointed to the villa and continued, “This is a great gift and I really like this villa. But if you’ve bought it with

dirty money, I’ll never accept it and I’ll never live in it. I, Zues Taylor, will feel ashamed and filthy living in

that house. Last but not least, I’ll never recognize you as the son-in-law of the Taylor’s. You’re a disgrace

to our family!”

“That’s right, don’t humiliate us any further, scram!

“Yeah, go! Go to your sugar mommy!”

“Who’d have known a loser like you would be a sugar baby just to afford this gift for the Old Master…

Hehe… This is…”

The Taylor family’s relatives started chiming in one after another.

“ jackie, you’ve let us down!” Andrew was angered too. He thought jackie could finally gain recognition

from everyone in this joyful event by presenting this villa as a gift. If that were the case, Andrew and his

family would be able to all move into the villa together. He did not see this coming.

“My dear son, how…how could you? I’d rather you marry Sharon than being a sugar baby to a rich

woman!” Joan’s eyes reddened and she could not believe that her son would do such a thing.

Unexpectedly, jackie laughed out loud and asked, “Is there no way else that I could afford the villa other

than asking for an advance salary payment and being a sugar baby?

Who said I didn’t have the money myself?” He paused before he continued, “It’s true that I have bought

the villa—with my own money. Didn’t any of you know that Daxia had generously rewarded veterans? I

have served the military for five years and some of you may have seen me fight before. Did you think I

could survive five years as an ordinary soldier?” jackie got more and more emotional as he spoke.

“So… He wasn’t just an ordinary soldier?”

Some of them started to guess as they roughly knew jackie’s fighting ability—how he fought against a

dozen people so effortlessly.

Chapter 512

“Oh yeah… Very few can actually survive past one month on the battlefield, let alone five years…”

“You’re right, those who can survive for a year are considered above average good. jackie must be very

capable to be able to hang in there for five years. He mustn’t be just any ordinary soldier, maybe he held

a higher position!”

Many started to second guess…

“as far as I know, you’ve spent almost a hundred million since you came back. This villa would cost you

another ninety over million! In that case, the government must have rewarded you a pension worth that

of a head commander’s,” Ivan remarked laughingly.

“Mhmm. I know of an assistant commander who’s received a hundred million as pension, some head

commander… Maybe two hundred million. So you’re a head commander?!” Ken joined the guessing

game.

“Do you have anything to prove your position as a head commander, jackie? As far as I know, any

commander would hold a commander’s token as a symbol of their position.” Old Master Taylor wished

really hard that jackie could show everyone his token to prove his position and that the money he used to

buy what he bought, was the money he well deserved from protecting the country. In that case, it would

be an honor to the Taylor family, not a disgrace.

Dennis rubbed his nose bridge and was trying to suppress his laughter. jackie had his token but he did

not plan to expose his true identity. All he wanted was to live a normal life. Everyone in the house would

have to kneel and bow before him if he were to present his token.

It was the one and only in Daxia, only the Supreme Warrior could have it. jackie could command and rule

anyone in the army. It was extremely inconsiderate of him to display the token in front of this many

people. He would get into trouble regardless. If he did not display it, he would be labeled as ‘the sugar

baby’; if he did, his true identity would be exposed.

He was on the fence and his expression darkened. “I…” What should he do?

“What’s the matter? Just show us the token if you’re really the head commander, it’s an honor—not

something to be shameful of! Come on, shut their mouth. I believe that you’re not a sugar baby,” Joan

tried to persuade jackie.

Then, Ivan interjected as he was excited to see jackie not being able to show the token. “Don’t tell me

you don’t have a token as the commander?”

‘We’ll see how long more you can put on this show, jackie. It’s shameful enough that you’re a sugar baby,

and to cover that lie with ‘head commander’s pension’? That’s funny!’

“Come on, jackie. You were so confident just now. How do you prove that you’re not just an ordinary

soldier? Where’s your token? You can’t prove anything without it!” Cecilia laughed and thought he had

nothing to show after all.

Chapter 513

jackie bitterly smiled then said, “It’s true that I’m not an ordinary soldier. In fact, I hold a relatively high

position in the military force. But I’ve lost my token, it was probably picked pocketed somewhere. Hence

why I haven’t revealed my identity all this while, I was worried that no one would believe my words

without the token.”

The crowd was speechless. How did he…

“I believe in him!” Selena walked forward. “When he first came back, I thought he was an ordinary soldier

and only had a few hundred thousand on him. Later, I knew that my estimation was incorrect, five years

of service in the military would have earned him maybe ten to twenty million… And I was wrong again!

Now I think he’s a head commander, to be able to afford this villa!”

“you’d speak up for him because he’s your husband, Selena! What a sweet talker.” Micheal laughed.

“You think he’s a head commander just because he bought this villa, not because of his capabilities?

Now what do you want us to do and how can we trust his words? He can’t even prove his position!”

“Mhmm!” Neil interjected, “Of all, we know the money could be from his sugar mommy!”

Ivan chimed in, “So you said the money was yours… Then how do you explain your relationship with that

rich woman? I’ve seen her many times. There was even once when you walked out of the villa with her!”

Neil continued, “She always goes around wearing a mask as if she was avoiding paparazzi. This is a

telltale sign that she was avoiding her husband or acquaintances, and that means you both are up to no

good!”

“A rich lady? aren’t you worried she’ll kill you if you angered her?” jackie smiled coldly and continued,

“Stop guessing, everyone. She’ll be here later and you’ll know who she is. Brace yourself.”

“What! She’ll be coming here? How dare she!” Ivan laughed.

“Wow, such a thick-faced woman to dare to show up today. Tsk tsk…” Ken laughed too. “Selena, look at

your husband’s sugar mommy. She’s about to come and claim her turf.”

“First of all, she’s rich but not that rich. Her wealth is granted by Daxia as a reward for her serving the

country. Second of all, she’ll come today out of respect for me. Otherwise, she won’t attend functions like

this.” jackie’s expression darkened. He was angry because he could not stand them making fun of his

disciple, Lana.

If it was not for Old Master’s birthday and the many people that were present including his daughter and

wife—he really wanted to beat them up to teach them a lesson! jackie was really pissed at them for

pushing him to the edge of the cliff.

“Tsk tsk tsk. So you mean, she’s nothing ordinary!”

“We shall see who this ‘extraordinary woman’ is. We can finally see her face when she removes her

mask to eat.” Ivan laughed.

Suddenly, a voice announced at the door. The voice sounded as if it was trembling.

“Quin Hayes, King of War with six stars, arrived and is here to wish Old Master Taylor a happy and

blessed seventieth birthday!”

Chapter 514

Everyone was expecting to see jackie make a fool of himself when suddenly, the six-starred King of War

arrived to celebrate Old Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday.

“What! Quin Hayes is here!”

“You shouldn’t call him by his name, you should address him as King of War Hayes. Otherwise, he can

slap you to death if he finds you disrespectful!”

“My god, he’s the King of War… A SIX-STARRED King of War! What is he doing here at this function?

This…is our honor!”

The Taylor family’s relatives started a discussion among themselves and they were obviously astonished.
