Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 854

"Old friend, take a look at this."

Jordan pulled out a narrow, rectangular box and opened it.

"Ghost-Needle! How does something like this still exist? Where did you get it?"

Clarence's eyes went wide with shock.

"Hasn't this technique been lost for years?"

"To be completely honest, someone used this to attack my apprentice at the airport yesterday."

Jordan furrowed his brow.

"Which airport?"

"Aethelgard Airport."

"I think I know who your apprentice is now. Did he just get back from the Javenaire Federation?"

Jordan nodded. Since he was asking for help, he had to provide accurate information.

"Your apprentice is Owen Lance, isn't he?"

"He is."

"He's built like a tank and highly skilled in martial arts. Plus, he had two elite bodyguards with him. It wouldn't have been an easy hit."

"The assassin failed."

Jordan nodded.

"Still, your people are getting sharper. You even have eyes at the airport."

"In modern society, you'll starve if you don't stay sharp. Look at you, waltzing back in to steal my business."

"But I have to admit, that apprentice of yours is impressive. Word is they made an absolute killing in the Javenaire Federation. Did he cut you a massive check?"

"You've extended your reach all the way to the Javenaire Federation?"

Jordan fired back instead of answering.

"I learned from the best, didn't I? How can you survive if you don't expand your territory?"

Clarence shot Jordan a sideways glance.

"I also heard that the girlfriend your apprentice found is incredibly formidable."

"Mira Mercer is my apprentice too."
