Cathy sat beside Nell and accompanied her silently.
On the other side, Gideon, Gregory, and Vickie were sitting on the couch in the room next door. It was dead quiet.
After a very long time, Gregory took the initiative to break the silence.
He stared at Gideon coldly and asked, “What Jeff said just now, what is the meaning of it? Gideon, shouldn’t you explain it to us?”
Gideon glanced at him and only then did she understand that it was no longer useful to hide things anymore.
In the end, he could only let out a silent sigh.
“I admit, the other three Arcane Jades are in my hands.”
Gregory and Vickie were shocked by his words.
Gregory stood up inadvertently with a change of expression on his face but Vickie held him back.
Instead, she looked at Gideon and asked, “Why? I know you have unspeakable difficulties, but you should give us an explanation at least. All this while we’ve traveled around the world in search of the Arcane Jades, but you still chose to keep quiet and watched as we searched everywhere for it like a chicken with its head cut off even though you have it with you. It really disappoints us, you know that don’t you?”
Gideon said hoarsely, “I admit this is my fault, but do you know why Jeff was in a hurry to gather all the twelve Arcane Jades?”
Both of them were stunned.
In fact, up until now, they never knew why Jeff was in a rush to gather all of it.
Hence, they looked at Gideon blankly.
Gideon uttered in a deep voice, “Since both of you don’t know about it, then why not let me tell you a story.”
Then, he told them about the story of Jeff Flinders and Zeezee.
Gregory and Vickie were astounded after listening to Gideon because they never thought that such a thing would exist in this world.
Gregory shook his head and asked in disbelief, “He’s a human who has lived for a thousand years?”
Gideon nodded.
“Back then, I never believed that there was such a thing in this world, but it just had to happen before my eyes.”
“Let me tell you the truth. Although I’m the president of Leith Corporation on the surface, the fact is I’m also the leader of X-Organization.”
X-Organization?
Gregory was shocked when he said that.
The others may not know what the X-Organization was, but Gregory knew.
There were no other reasons mainly because he was the head of the Graham family.
Although the Four Great Families in China claimed they were proficient in different fields, they shared most of the information among themselves.
Gregory had not seen the X-Organization with his own eyes, but he had heard about it and he never thought that Gideon was one of them.
At that moment, he suddenly understood something, and so he asked, “That means you’ve been hunting for Jeff?”
Gideon nodded.
“I’ve already told you about the origin of Arcane Jade. He wants to obtain the Energy stone by gathering all of the Arcane Jades and to resurrect a woman called Zeezee.”
“If he wants to bring Zeezee back to life, do you know where he needs to go so that it’s compatible with the Energy stone?”
Gregory and Vickie shook their heads.
Gideon answered in a deep voice, “The place where the meteorite crashed, which is the place that is covered with nuclear radiation.”
