Gary's jaw dropped in astonishment.
He was surprised when he heard about how Nathan had killed Lupin, but he hadn't seen the battle with his own eyes.
Tiger and Bear used to serve under his grandpa. After they left the military, they were assigned to keep Gary safe.
He was offensive and got in tons of fights with others. However, both men always solved the issues instantly.
Gary never dreamed that both of his chief bodyguards would die by Nathan's hand.
After killing Tiger and Bear, Nathan walked menacingly toward Gary. "I wanted to be respectful to Old Master Jordan and let you live, but you ignored my offer."
Gary suddenly felt an inexplicable fear when he looked into Nathan's vicious gaze.
"What do you think you're doing?" growled Gary when he finally regained his composure. "Everybody attack! Kill him right now."
All of his subordinates attacked Nathan as soon as they heard his orders.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those bodyguards never even got close to Nathan before he kicked them away.
Gary stared as Nathan approached him. Gary's voice sounded threatening when he said, "Let me remind you that I am a member of the Jordan family. If you hurt me, your entire family will pay the price!"
"Is that so?" scoffed Nathan. "Get on your knees!"
He put his hand on Gary's shoulder and pushed ever so slightly.
Gary, however, felt as though a mountain had crushed him. He fumbled and fell hard on his knees.
It hurt so much that tears rolled down his eyes.
Despite all that, Gary was still from a powerful family. He might be a spoiled and worthless man, but he was as prideful as his grandpa.
He gritted his teeth and insisted, "I dare you to kill me, Nathan Cross. My brother, Lucius, will avenge me. I guarantee your entire family will die a horrible death.”
Nathan had hurt him. However, in Gary's furious state, the first thought that came to his mind wasn't that his grandpa would avenge his death. He thought of his brother, Lucius, instead.
The reason behind it was simple.
His grandpa was more rational and was the head of the Jordan family. As such, Old Master Jordan had always seen the bigger picture and put the family business first.
