No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Everyone turned their heads when they heard that very question. They were curious as to why Joseph

Smith attended the banquet as well.

Joseph gave a wan smile. Fortunately, Lana had told them to think of a good excuse before they came

so that they would be prepared should they be asked such questions. Joseph smiled and said, “I had a

near-death experience not long after I was deployed on the battlefield, but jackie, with all his proficient

medical knowledge, saved me. He’s practically my savior, thus it’s only right that I attend his banquet!”

jackie was dumbfounded when he heard Joseph’s reply. He had told them to not reveal his identity, but

he never thought that Joseph would come up with an excuse like that. He did not know what to feel

about his made-up story.

After all, Lana had used this story once before.

The expressions of James and the others shifted when they heard Joseph’s story. Who knew that jackie

had saved not just one, but two Gods of War?

“What about you, Sir Campbell?” asked the seven-star King of War with a grin on his face.

Fernando did not know how to reply to that; he did not put much thought into his ‘excuse’. He had

thought of using the same story Joseph gave out, but Joseph used it as his own. With how sudden he

was asked that question, Fernando could not find a better answer in such a short time, and if he took too

long, it would induce suspicion.

The cogs in his brain spun as he tried to come up with a plausible excuse, yet he found not a single good

story to reply to the question asked. In the end, he could only offer an awkward smile. “It’s the same as

Joseph’s, actually. I was injured like him and I almost lost my life too, but jackie saved both our lives!”

Joseph smiled stiffly and chimed in, “That’s right, that’s exactly what happened!”

Many of the attendees could not help themselves as they sneakily fished out their phones to take photos.

The sight of three Gods of War in the venue was sensational news; they wanted to gloat to their friends

and family about it.

Lana stepped forward and changed the topic, “Where’s your wife, Fernando? Didn’t you say that you

were going to bring your wives and your daughter along? Why are you here alone?”

“They should be here anytime soon. They’re actually taking the cab,” Fernando replied, smiling. “I had

them get off of the helicopter at the city gates, and I’m here first because I couldn’t wait to see all of you.

There were no hangars around here, so I just jumped off!”

“I skydived here as well. Great minds think alike!”

Joseph laughed.

“You’re right, Gods of War. We never thought about this before. Don’t worry, we’ll inform our boss about

this and we’ll quickly improve our facilities. We’ll remove part of the roof there to build a hangar!”

With a large grin, the hotel manager immediately stepped forward and spoke, “It’s such an honor for us

to host so many Gods of War!”

Meanwhile…

“F*ck.” Neil and Ken dragged Ivan into a corner and frantically asked, “Why isn’t jackie dead yet? He still

looks like he’s in fine spirits! Are you sure about this, Ivan? Why isn’t he dead yet?”

They grew impatient.

Chapter 852

Both Ken and Neil took part in the banquet jackie hosted just to see him dead. They wanted to see him

flat on the floor as his body succumbed to the poison.

More importantly, they wanted to see the shock and horror on everyone’s faces. They wanted to see him

die before Selena and how her face would morph into one with immeasurable agony.

Still, nothing they expected had happened as they watched as the Gods of War trailed in, one after

another, and bolstered jackie and Selena’s reputation to no end. It was plain to see how everyone

admired them.

“I’m sure of it, and we saw it for ourselves! A few days ago, jackie was complaining about how he was

feeling unwell. Xena was there, too!”

Ivan frowned. “Let’s wait for a bit. This is the final day, after all. It’s possible that jackie has a body strong

enough to resist the poison for a bit, so the symptoms are probably suppressed. Maybe the symptoms

will just pile on him abruptly, and he’ll explode into pieces. That’s possible!”

“That’s right. I can verify that information since I did follow Ivan that day. jackie did tell us that he wasn’t

feeling well!”

Xena nodded. “I think it’s about time! Either that, or the poison that you two obtained is fake!”

“What are you talking about? There’s no way it’s fake!”

Ken immediately huffed. “Just wait for it, I’m sure it won’t be long. That little punk will die soon enough!”

“Oh, the thought of it makes me so excited. Selena will surely have a meltdown by then!” Neil emitted a

mirthless chuckle.

Back at the banquet, Fernando took out a credit card and thrust it toward Selena. “Right. I didn’t buy any

gifts, but I do have this credit card. I’m giving it to you, Miss Selena. There’s one billion inside, and it

doesn’t have a personal identification number!”

“That’s too much!”

The overwhelmed Selena did not know what to feel as she turned to look at jackie. It was too much.

Joseph had given her one, and Fernando was giving her another.

“Just take it as their blessing!”

The grinning jackie nodded his head reassuringly, and only then did Selena take the credit card.

“These Gods of War are being too generous, aren’t they? They’re giving out one billion just like that!”

blurted Ivan.

“Joseph had also given one billion. Hmm… They’ve probably discussed this earlier. It wouldn’t look good

if one of them gave less than the other.”

Neil flashed a bitter smile.

“Joseph gave that much too?”

Ivan’s expression contorted when he heard that. He thought that jackie would have trouble settling the

bills, what with the money he needed to spend to book the entire hotel and organize a wedding banquet.

Who knew that the Gods of War would give him so much money. It was definitely enough to cover the

costs, and they would still have plenty left. jackie was earning big dollars!

Concurrently…

…

In a third-class aristocratic family’s residence, the Turner family’s master, Fabian asserted, “Let’s go. We

have to go!”

“Dad, it’ll be so embarrassing if we go. We caused such a big issue out of the billiards game with jackie

that one time!” countered Leo, his brows furrowed as he did.

Chapter 853

“Don’t be an idiot! Just look at the attendees of the wedding banquet. Three Gods of War have already

shown up, a billionaire businessman from the Gin City is attending, and there are so many top-tier

celebrities. It’s mayhem! What if jackie gets angry because we don’t go?”

Fabian then continued, headstrong in his stance, “Besides, we gave the money we lost to the kid, right?

There shouldn’t be much of a grudge between us now. If we go, we’ll be able to make connections with

aristocratic families, war officers, and the likes. We might even become good friends with the Gods of

War!”

“Fine. Let’s go.” Leo eventually relented as he nodded, and with that, they made preparations to go to

the seven-star hotel.

“We have to go. Fernando Campbell is my idol!”

Quite a few run-off-the-mill businessmen who had thought of attending decided to not attend the

banquet, as it was embarrassing to not come up with proper gifts. After all, they should give anything that

was worth less than 80,000 dollars at a place like that.

However, they suddenly decided to go when they saw the Gods of War. It would be amazing enough if

they managed to get a God of War like Fernando into the background of a selfie.

More and more people came to attend the banquet, and jackie fortunately prepared everything

beforehand. Moreover, there were a few private rooms and tables ready on the floors below them.

Otherwise, there probably would not be enough places to sit.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the six-star hotel opposite them…

“H—He literally stirred the city, alright…!” Cecilia’s lips contorted into a small, bitter smile. She had lost—

and terribly, at that. She did not know why those Gods of War attended jackie’s banquet, but her loss

was indisputable.

Cecilia did not want to admit that, but there was no way around it.

Just as she felt absolutely hopeless, two helicopters appeared above her.

“Don’t tell me that more Gods of War are coming?!”

James looked at the distance, shocked at the sight of two more helicopters that came from different

directions. He could sense his breaths turned uneven and ragged.

One of the helicopters arrived and a man jumped down from it. The man smiled faintly before he entered

the hotel.

The man feared that everyone would question why he would attend the banquet, thus he took the

initiative and greeted jackie smilingly, “Mr. jackie, thank you for saving my life. Your medical skills are

unparalleled. I just had to come to your banquet to share a few drinks with you!”

jackie was dumbfounded at the man’s greeting, and all he could do was offer an awkward smile.

Lana, Fernando, and Joseph—who stood by the side—were just as shocked. They never thought that

Abner would use the same story. That was too…

It was fine if one or two of them used the same story, but… Three? Four? That was too much.

Lana had told them beforehand to prepare their own replies and stories, but they never did discuss the

stories they wanted to use, and they all thought of the same thing.

However, they did discuss the matter of the banquet gift, and they collectively decided that they would

each give a billion dollars.

Abner quickly fished out a credit card and handed it to Selena. “Miss Selena, there’s one billion in here.

Just take it as a token of my blessing and as thanks to your husband for saving my life. You have to take

it. The password is six zeros, but you can change it whenever you like!”

“T–Thank you, Sir Young!”

Selena felt touched, and she did not know what else to say. Lana had also given her a billion just

moments ago, and she had amassed gifts worth four billion dollars. Would she get rich with just this

banquet?

“Ah…! I—I feel dizzy!”

Fiona—who was not too far away—was utterly shocked. They earned so much in just this banquet! She

pinched her thigh tightly. “I… I’m not dreaming!”

Chapter 854

Fiona felt like everything was a dream. After all, four Gods of War attended her daughter’s banquet and

gave both jackie and her their blessings.

It was only then Fiona knew jackie’s claim that he would stir the city was no empty promise; he delivered

that promise. They were handed a ridiculously lucky hand, and the presence of the four Gods of War far

surpassed what anyone could imagine.

Thump!

Amid her excitement, a loud noise was heard from above them. The other helicopter flew toward them,

and another man leaped down from it.

“It’s… It’s William Nash, a God of War!” a young woman called out, and the crowd was shocked once

more. Yet another God of War showed up to the banquet.

“My goodness…! It’s true!”

James was stupefied.

“Sir Nash, why are you here?” Queenie excitedly walked toward him, her eyes fixated on him. The God

of War had a regal aura to him.

William gave a wan smile; he had already prepared his story. “During the days before I was an

accomplished person, I was injured during a skirmish and nearly died with the wound. Fortunately, Mr.

jackie was so skilled that he saved me, so that’s why I…”

It was only then when William noticed the odd gazes directed at him.

He immediately frowned. “What’s wrong? Did I say something?” he asked.

Queenie offered an awkward smile. “No, n—nothing’s wrong. jackie truly is a skilled medical practitioner,

and it seems like he saved many lives throughout the five years he was in the military!”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

“His medical skills are astoundingly incredible!”

William laughed. He then walked toward Selena, took out a credit card worth a billion dollars, and

handed it to her. “So you’re his wife. No wonder jackie kept mooning over you on the battlefield!”

Selena’s chest was filled with warmth when she heard that. “Welcome, Sir Nash. Please, take a seat!”

“It’s our honor to see you, Sir Nash!” the people bowed at him.

“Don’t worry about it!”

William chuckled before he faked his surprise. “Oh, what a coincidence,” said William as though shocked

to see them. “Joseph, Fernando, you’re both here too!”

“That’s right. jackie so happened to have saved us before too!”

Abner gave an awkward smile.

William was stunned when he heard that. No wonder everyone gave him weird looks just moments ago;

everyone else gave the same story as he did!

If everyone used the same story, would anyone actually believe it?

Fernando pulled him to the side. “Why did you use the same story?” he asked in a quiet voice. “Couldn’t

you find some other excuse?”

William did not know what to feel about it. “I couldn’t think of a good one, even after spending half the

day thinking about it. It so happens that Master is a skilled medical practitioner even better than Ethan

Hays, so that’s why that’s the only story I can think of. I thought it was the best excuse ever. It has a

sliver of truth in it though, since he’s so skilled in medicine!”

“We’re done for! If we’re thinking like this, Ethan and the rest will probably use the same excuse too!”

Fernando’s expression darkened, his lips curled into a wry smile.

All of a sudden, another helicopter appeared on the horizon, as it flew in from the city gates.

Chapter 855

Thump!

Just like before, a low thud was heard as a man appeared on the glass balcony that extended from the

roof.

“It’s another God of War, Sam Johnson!”

Everyone grew even more excited when they recognized him. That added another God of War in the

venue.

In truth, everyone expected it was a God of War when they saw him jumping down from such a high

altitude. He actually dared to leap down from a height of 100 or 200 meters above sea level yet

sustained no injuries. Only the Gods of War could accomplish such a feat.

“Sir Johnson, you’re here too! You look so handsome!”

“Oh, yes! Coming here was worth every second of my time. There are already six Gods of War here. My

god, I’m going nuts!”

“I’ve never seen so many Gods of War in all the years I’ve served on the battlefield. I’ve only ever seen

one, yet here they are, six of them!”

The marshals, commanders, and the likes were all excited. The sight that greeted them shook them to

the very core.

“My goodness. Another one!”

At the same time, on the top floor of the six-star hotel opposite them, Cecilia and members of the Gold

family watched on with sour expressions. They saw another God of War appearing on the opposite

hotel’s screen, and it was a grand sight to see.

“six of them came to the banquet. Perhaps all nine will show up?” Kelly chuckled. He felt that he had

become the joke of the entire universe.

“No way. How can that happen?”

Master Gold shook his head, convinced that he was dreaming.

“Miss Selena, I almost died once on the battlefield, but Sir jackie was luckily skilled in medicine…”

Sam went straight to Selena and conveyed his story, and he did not notice the desperate hints that Lana

and the others were giving.

When they heard that explanation, James and the others were utterly speechless. Just how many Gods

of War had jackie saved?

Even Selena was at a loss for words; that excuse sounded more like a lie at that point. Was jackie a

specialist? Why did so many of the people he saved on the battlefield turned out to be Gods of War,

when there were plenty of other soldiers?

Nonetheless, Selena did not want to wear herself out thinking about it. She just smiled and took the

credit card worth one billion from him.

It seemed that all those Gods of War were tycoons, and they had discussed beforehand to give one

billion dollars each. Still, they were too generous.

The beautiful manager from Daxia Juwel admired Selena for being able to marry a man like jackie; she

had enough happiness just from the banquet to fill her for a lifetime. She was probably the happiest

woman in the entire world on this day.

Sam went to join Fernando and the others after he gifted Selena the credit card.

He felt like shriveling when he found out that the excuse he gave was the exact same story that the

others had supplied.

Still, Sam had no choice. It would be way too suspicious if he claimed that jackie’s fighting prowess far

surpassed his. It so happened that jackie was skilled in medicine, and that was why the story of jackie

saving him was flawless.

Despite that, he never anticipated that his comrades shared the same train of thought on their excuse.

“Ethan won’t use this excuse, right?”

Lana thought about it before she said, “After all, Ethan’s such a skilled doctor, and everybody

acknowledges him as a miracle doctor. Ethan probably won’t convince anyone if he uses that excuse.”

Everyone nodded at Lana’s speculation. It would be preposterous if the nine Gods of War used the exact

same excuse, and no one would believe them.

Chapter 856

Just as they were talking, two more helicopters appeared in the distance as it slowly flew toward the

hotel.

A smile managed to creep its way onto Selena’s face. “Don’t tell me that the other three Gods of War are

coming too?” she whispered to jackie. “With the arrival of those two, we’ll only be missing one more!”

jackie nodded. “They don’t have much of a choice. They need to come see you, at least. How could they

not come to my wedding? I’d give them a good one-two if they don’t!”

Selena rolled her eyes at jackie, though her happiness was evident. “You really took this to another level,

didn’t you? I’m practically trembling in anticipation now, and the gifts we’ve received today will be enough

to cover the costs of the hotel. Even with all that, we’ll have plenty left!”

Selena’s smile slowly dropped as a thought occurred to her. “We’ll have to return the gesture when they

get married,” said Selena, “and we’ll have to give plenty of money then!”

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. “Don’t worry, Honey. They’ve married

long ago. Look there: Fernando’s two wives and his son are here!” said jackie as he pointed at the

elevator.

Fernando’s family had indeed taken a cab over.

“Oh… That’s great!”

Selena gave a bitter smile. “I’m so nervous. There are so many Gods of War here. Am I dreaming?”

“No, you’re not.”

jackie smiled, and within the span of ten seconds, the two Gods of War leaped down from their

helicopters.

“It’s our honor, Sir Riley Blackwell!”

“It’s our honor, Sir Adam McCarthy!”

Everyone cried out in excitement when they saw the two Gods of War.

“It’s insane! Another two Gods of War are here!”

One of the attendees whipped out his phone and took photos. The banquet was sensational, and these

photos would be enough ammunition to gloat.

Plenty of businessmen were even more excited by then. jackie did not place any restrictions on his

guests, so anyone could walk in. This really made them feel elated.

“Oh my, so many people are here already. Seems like Lana and the rest arrived long ago!”

Riley chuckled as he scanned his surroundings.

“You’re right. Looks like only Ethan isn’t here yet. Everyone else is here, though!”

Adam chuckled as well. The two of them went over to greet jackie.

“Happy birthday to you, Miss Selena, and congratulations on yours and jackie’s wedding!” the two spoke

simultaneously, and they each presented a credit card worth one billion to Selena.

Selena was truly convinced that all nine Gods of War would attend their banquet with how things looked.

It was then a thought chimed in Selena’s mind, and her brows furrowed instinctively. “How did you two

know jackie?”

jackie had told her once that the nine Gods of War were his disciples, but Selena never thought much

about it as she assumed jackie was just lying.

Yet, with the sight of all the Gods of War—that came from all parts of the country—in their banquet,

Selena could not help the thought… Was jackie truly their master?

“Oh, I had been injured on the battlefield once…”

“ jackie had saved my life once, so…”

The two Gods of War replied at the same time, but their voices trailed off when they heard the other’s

words. They both had the exact same train of thought.

Selena was flabbergasted. The first God of War gave that same excuse, yet so did the second. At that

point, all eight Gods of War had the same story, and the last one would probably give the same excuse

too.

“ jackie truly is something else!”

Selena’s lips curled into a mirthless smile. She then said to them, “The journey must’ve been tiring for

you two. Stay here for two more days before you leave.”

Chapter 857

“Of course! I rarely swing around these parts!”

Adam and Riley grinned before they walked to one side, away from her.

With disbelief, Riley lowly spoke under his breath, “Seriously, Adam? Why did you have to use the same

story as I did?”

“I didn’t think this could happen. Why would you say something like that? I also noticed that everyone

gave us strange looks… Don’t tell me that they gave the same story too? No one’s going to believe us if

that’s the case!”

Adam felt lost at that moment.

“Right? We’ll draw suspicion if we all give the same story, and Master won’t be happy if his identity as the

Supreme Warrior is revealed!”

At that moment, William’s voice was heard as he walked over, a small smile on his face as he did.

“The only one left is Ethan. Let’s hope he doesn’t use the same story!”

Abner flashed a bitter smile as he joined them. “Regardless, it doesn’t matter if they’re suspicious about

us. They can’t just interrogate us about the matter, right? Of course, Master might not be happy about

this!”

“Quiet down! Don’t let anyone hear you!” Lana quickly reminded him.

Many of the guests in the banquet sneakily took photos of them, though none of them came to disturb

their conversation—probably because of their revered status. Everyone maintained a safe distance away

from them.

On the other hand, at the six-star hotel opposite them…

“There are eight Gods of War now!” said Master Gold sardonically as he broke out into a chuckle.

“Seems like all nine are going to come. He’s really sending shockwaves throughout the city!”

Cecilia stared into the distance. Another helicopter appeared on the horizon. It was a no brainer that the

miracle doctor, Ethan Hays would come as well.

…

“He’s here. Ethan is here. He probably won’t say that jackie saved him, right?”

James had no idea what to feel as he watched the helicopter. He did not understand why the eight Gods

of War used the exact same story. Did jackie truly save all of their lives? It was too much of a

coincidence like that.

It was either a coincidence or jackie just had the incredible luck to have saved soldiers who were, in fact,

Gods of War. It was enough luck to make the gods jealous.

True enough, the person who was coming was Ethan.

“Greetings, Sir Ethan Hays!” greeted the guests when he arrived.

“Oh dear, I never thought that I’d be the last to arrive!”

The round-faced Ethan emanated a genial aura as he smiled.

“Sir Hays, it’s our honor to finally see you. You’re such a miracle doctor!’

“That’s right. Sir Hays, I heard that your medical skills have saved plenty of soldiers!”

“Sir Hays, don’t tell me that you have the same story as the other Gods of War. Were you saved by

jackie as well?”

Voices cried out as he slowly walked toward jackie and Selena.

The corners of Ethan’s mouth twitched when he heard them. It seemed like the story he had crafted

beforehand would not work.

However, he quickly came before jackie and spoke, smiling, “Sir jackie, long time no see. I heard that

you’re highly skilled in medicine as well, and that you saved the lives of the other eight Gods of War. I’ve

come here to humbly request that you impart your wisdom to me. I hope that I can learn plenty from

you!”

jackie was speechless. Someone came up with a different story at last, but that excuse was a little too

scandalizing.

“You’re too kind, Sir Hays. We should be exchanging our knowledge instead. No master-student

relationship required!” replied jackie awkwardly as he grinned.

Chapter 858

The crowd held their breath for a moment when they heard what Ethan had said to jackie. Ethan Hays,

the miraculous doctor who possessed incredible medical knowledge, came and asked jackie to teach

him the art of medicine?

Would that not mean jackie was even more skilled than him in the medical field?

Fiona could no longer stand idly by the sidelines and went up to them. “Sir Hays, are you saying that my

son-in-law’s medical skills are even better than yours? It can’t be true, right? You’ve been called a

miracle doctor, a divine doctor!” blurted Fiona.

Ethan knew that the woman before him was jackie’s mother-in-law, hence he gave her a bright smile and

replied, “Yes, Auntie, his medical skills are spectacular!”

Ethan paused for a moment before he added, “Just think about it: All these highly honored Gods of War

had been injured in the battlefield, and not a minor one at that. It’s logical that no ordinary doctor could

treat them, and only a highly skilled doctor could do that. Not only highly skilled, but top-notch. Like, top-

top-notch, if you get what I mean.”

Ethan thought of something before he quickly continued, “So, with jackie’s amazing skills, he had treated

them. Basically, he can be considered as the Gods of War’s personal doctor!”

Only then did it dawn on the crowd that jackie had such a highly honored position in the battlefield. Even

if he was not some God of War or King of War, with his remarkable medical skills and his relationship

with those Gods of war, it was sufficient to make him respectable.

No wonder the eight Gods of War told the same story— jackie truly had saved their lives on the

battlefield. The stories were not lies; they were the truth!

“Yes, Sir Hays is right! jackie is our exclusive doctor, specialized in treating Gods of War and some eight-

star and nine-star Kings of War!”

Skyler chimed in to help jackie and the others too. He smoothened the situation with a smile on his face.

“Wow…! That’s really amazing! I really didn’t expect that this son-in-law of mine would be so admirable,

so promising!”

Fiona patted jackie’s shoulder as she gushed, ” jackie, why didn’t you tell me this before?”

jackie was rendered speechless. Fortunately, Ethan’s explanation about the whole coincidental stories

was justified, and the excuses given by the eight Gods of War were covered up beautifully. Otherwise, it

would be difficult for others to not think that jackie was the Supreme Warrior.

jackie smiled and faced Fiona. “Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you about it. I’m just afraid that even

if I do tell you, you won’t believe me. Besides, I remember saying to you that my medical skills are better

than Sir Hays’. That’s what I said, but you didn’t believe it. You thought I was only bragging!”

Fiona’s lips curved into a sheepish smile. “Well… You can’t blame me for not believing you. After all, you

seldom cure people, and I thought you were just an ordinary soldier! How can I even think that you

possessed such medical skills and knowledge?”

By that time, Joan recalled something, and she went toward them with a frown. “ jackie, something’s off.

Before coming here, I remember that you told me you’ve purchased a necklace for Selena. Where’s the

necklace? Why didn’t you take it out and put it on her? Her neck looks so bare and empty right now.”

“That’s right! Where’s the necklace you bought?”

Selena rolled her stunning eyes at jackie, the corners of her mouth curling up happily. “Didn’t you say

you wanted to give me a surprise?”

jackie smiled warmly at Selena before he replied, “That’s right, but you’ll have to close your eyes. I’ll put

it on you!”

“Close my eyes? Why all the mystery?” Selena, internally overwhelmed with joy, closed her eyes shut.

With that, jackie quickly took out a jewelry box.

“What’s jackie doing? What kind of gift is he giving to Selena? I wonder…” muttered Ivan with a frown.

“The hell knows! Making it so mysterious, as though it’s a grand gift.”

Xena sneered coldly. “It’s just a necklace. How grand would it be? Everyone knows what kind of

necklace it is, so why is he acting so extra and asked Selena to close her eyes? What’s all the mystery

for? It’s not like we don’t know it’s a necklace!”

Xena was green with envy and jealousy; she never thought jackie was such a capable man.

Had she known that from the start, Xena would have used millions of ways to seduce and tempt him with

her beauty. It would satisfy her enough to be his second wife.

Yet, even when she entertained that thought, the image of Sharon George came to mind. Xena glanced

at Sharon who stood beside her; an incredibly beautiful, gorgeous woman was she. Xena knew she

could never top that, even if she did follow through with pulling a million tricks to tempt jackie. It was

futile.

jackie would certainly not like her, and it did not help that that punk was no typical playboy that drooled

over pretty ladies.

Chapter 859

As Xena mulled over the matter, jackie had taken out the necklace from the box and placed it around

Selena’s neck.

“What?!”

Xena could feel her blood rapidly rushing through her veins in enthusiasm and her breaths labored at the

sight of the necklace. Her eyes felt like it would pop out of their sockets.

That necklace… It was the Heart of the Abyss!

Some time ago, there was a rumor that that exorbitant necklace was bought by a mysterious tycoon.

Xena never thought that the mysterious buyer was jackie all along!

“The Heart of the Abyss!”

“Oh my freaking god! It’s the Heart of the Abyss!”

“So it was jackie who bought it! Oh my… Oh my! It’s hella expensive!”

Many of the ladies among the crowd—who usually used luxurious products—gasped and gushed

excitedly at the necklace before them. They were obsessed with the necklace.

Selena’s eyelids flipped open at the sound of gasps and excitement from the crowd. She glanced down

to look at the necklace that dangled around her neck… There was a huge ruby stone! Her eyes were

flooded with tears in an instant.

“ jackie… You bought it! You actually bought it! This is too much!”

At that moment, Selena felt that all the aggravation and adversity she had suffered all those years were

worth it. jackie’s kindness and love for her moved her completely.

Selena did not even see jackie for five years, yet this man gave her the best of everything.

Selena’s tears rolled down her cheeks like gushing waterfalls.

“Honey, why are you crying? Today is our big day!”

jackie’s heart wrenched at the sight of Selena crying, and he gently wiped them off before saying, “Don’t

get your makeup messed up. You want to look pretty on our big day, right?”

Selena let out a laugh. “No, it’s nothing. It’s just… I’m just too happy. These are happy tears! I’ve never

been so happy before!”

“Mommy, you’re so beautiful!”

A pair of big, gleaming eyes beamed at Selena. It was the adorable Kylie, blinking at her mother.

“Of course! Your Mommy is the prettiest!”

jackie hoisted Kylie into his arms and gushed, “Quick, give Mommy a kiss!”

“Mwah!”

Kylie nodded giddily before she obediently stretched her neck and gave Selena a peck on her cheek.

“It’s the Heart of the Abyss!”

Xena’s eyes were transfixed on the necklace as jealousy sizzled within her. Life would be perfect if she

had that necklace around her neck, but alas, such an opportunity would not come in this lifetime.

The boss of the Daxia Juwel smiled with satisfaction; he made the right choice to attend jackie and

Selena’s banquet. He turned to jackie and said, “ jackie, why don’t we all take a group photo together?

You, me, the Gods of War, and some first-class families.”

“Sounds good to me!”

jackie smiled and gestured to Lana and the others to join them. “Madam Zechs, let’s come over and take

a photo together. Come to think of it, we haven’t taken a photo together yet!”

“Sounds great!”

Elated, Ethan and the others joined jackie to take group photos.

Chapter 860

Those who could join the group photos were only those from first-class families and people of such

status, like James Drake. This made Ken, Neil, and the others envious as they were not qualified to join.

As Ivan was from the Taylor family, he could join the photograph session. Xena, on the other hand,

merely tagged behind Ivan and stood at the back corner. Even if it was just a photo and she barely knew

any of them, it was still an honor and a pleasure for Xena.

“ jackie… I still feel that this necklace is too expensive. How about we find an opportunity to sell it?”

Once the photos were taken, Selena gazed at the Heart of the Abyss wound around her neck. Her

feelings overwhelmed her so much that she blurted her worries to jackie.

Selena’s words stunned jackie. He leaned close to Selena and whispered to her ear, “Honey, I’ll be

honest: Such a necklace wasn’t expensive at all, and you now have nearly ten billion in your pocket. It’s

not that much at all, you see. Try to think of it this way. Your husband is the Gods of War’s exclusive

doctor, so do you think the reward given to me would be so meager?”

Selena took a deep breath after she listened to jackie’s reasoning. He was right; he was the exclusive

doctor for the nine Gods of War, and that was a great achievement. Besides, the rewards received by the

nine Gods of War would be no less than 100 billion. While he was not as honorable as them, jackie must

have received 10 billion or so.

With that reassuring thought, Selena playfully rolled her eyes at jackie and pinched his waist. “ jackie

White, why didn’t you say so earlier? Why do you have to worry me?”

Selena then followed up when a thought occurred to her, “Still, you’re not at fault. If my mother knew

about it, I’m afraid my mother might yell at you and demand a pretty sum. You can’t tell her about it. This

must remain a secret,” Selena suggested thoughtfully.

“Ah, my dear wife is right. I had a hard time buying this necklace for you, so you’ll have to keep and wear

it, alright?” jackie chuckled wholeheartedly.
