My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 498

England was Jordan's territory. How dare someone kidnap his mother-in-law? They must be courting death!

Jordan brought Lauren to the living room and called Butler Frank to prepare 10 million pounds in cash.

Many wealthy people were only asset-rich. They might not be able to fork out so much cash on such short notice. But to the Steeles, 10 million pounds in cash was no big deal. This castle was not only filled with cash, but also gold, silver and jewelry.

Right at that moment, Jesse walked down the stairs in his pajamas.

"Jordan, Lauren, it's already so late. What are you doing?" Jesse walked over curiously.

Jordan looked at his brother. "Jesse, did we disturb your sleep?"

Jesse shook his head. "Oh, no. I was just getting up to go to the washroom when I heard something. I came over to take a look... Huh? What are you planning to do with so much money?"

Jordan answered truthfully, "Lauren's mother won money at the casino. She was kidnapped the moment she came out. The kidnapper asked us for 10 million pounds."

"What? Kidnapped? Who's so bold to kidnap our in-laws?!"

Jesse immediately became very agitated.

Picking up his phone immediately, he instructed,

"Jordan, you don't have to prepare the ransom. There's nothing our family can't settle in England! Tell me the address. I'll get Chimera to save your mother-in-law."

Marissa was Jordan's mother-in-law. She looked down on Jordan and kept saying bad things about him.

But she was still his wife's mother.

Now that Marissa had gotten into such a mess, Jordan, as her son-in-law, wanted to save her personally.

Jordan replied, "No need. I'll get Dragon to save Mom."

At this moment, an unfathomable smile appeared on Jesse's face. "Why, Jordan? You don't believe that I can save your mother-in-law, right? That's right. Dragon is indeed stronger than Chimera. Alright, let Dragon go then."

The conversation made Jordan feel very uncomfortable! Based on seniority, Dragon should have been assigned to Jesse, Chimera to Jamie, and Phoenix to Jordan.

However, Charleston had assigned Dragon, who was the most powerful, to Jordan, the youngest brother.

Although Jesse had never said anything, Jordan knew that his brother was unhappy about it. He would definitely feel that it was unfair!

Jordan did not want to hurt his brother's feelings, so he immediately replied, "How can that be? Jesse, what are you thinking? I didn't mean it like that. We all know that Chimera has been stationed in the underworld for longer than Dragon. He is more familiar with the criminals here.

"I'll have to trouble you to let Chimera save my mother-in-law."

Jesse smiled when he heard Jordan's agreement. He nodded. "Don't worry, I'll bring Aunty back safe and sound."

With that, he walked away and made a call.

Jordan patted Lauren's shoulder and comforted her, "Honey, don't worry. Jesse's subordinate, Chimera, is very powerful. He's very experienced in handling such matters. Since these kidnappers dared to extort money from the Steeles, it means that they're not some major syndicate. Otherwise, they would have heard of our family.

"It should be easy for Chimera to deal with such small-time gangsters."

After Jordan analyzed the situation, he truly believed that Chimera would be able to resolve this matter perfectly. There was no need to send Dragon.

It would be like a simple basketball maneuver during a game. If a primary school student could do it, why get an NBA player?

Of course, the difference between Chimera and Dragon was not wide. If it was a one-on-one fight, Dragon would have an approximately 60 percent chance of winning over Chimera.

What made Dragon more formidable than Chimera was his intelligence, ability to see the big picture, personality and superior ability to react in a chaotic battle.
