The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
However, it was not Victoria’s gentle voice on the other end of the line, but a man’s.
It was Randall!
“Uncle?”
Jordan recognized Randall’s voice.
Randall answered in a cordial tone, “Yes. Jordan, something happened to Victoria. She fainted just now and hasn’t woken up yet, so she can’t answer your call.”
Jordan immediately asked with concern, “Is Victoria alright?”
Randall replied, “Yes, she’s fine. I sent someone to treat her and had her take some medicine. She’ll be fine when she wakes up tomorrow.”
Jordan was relieved. He did not know what the medical standards of the Mutant Tribe were like. But since they could create such an advanced product like the “miracle water”, their standards should be pretty good.
At this point, the conversation between the uncle and nephew became a little awkward. Jordan didn’t know what to say to Randall.
Randall took the initiative to ask, “If you have anything to say to Victoria, I can pass on your message after she wakes up. Or is it inconvenient for me to convey what you want to say to her?”
The pointed question made Jordan feel very awkward. It was as if Jordan wanted to say some ambiguous sweet nothings to Victoria.
Jordan said, “No, I called today because something happened. The people in the capital already know what Victoria did in Nags Head. They have already listed her as an SS-grade dangerous person.”
Randall chuckled. “Wow, SS-grade. Victoria sure is something. This is the most dangerous level in the US.”
Jordan continued. “Since you know about this grade, you should also know that they will do whatever it takes to eliminate Victoria as her ability is a huge threat to the entire nation. So, I want to talk to Victoria and help her resolve this matter.”
Randall knew that Victoria had deep feelings for Jordan so he would never give the two of them a chance to meet alone again.
Previously, Jordan despised Victoria for betraying him. Now that Victoria was so powerful that she could control an entire district, wouldn’t Randall be at a huge disadvantage if Jordan managed to get her back?
So Randall rejected the request immediately. “There’s no need! There’s nothing to worry about. With me protecting Victoria, she will be fine.”
Jordan said, “Uncle, this is no small matter. The people in the capital are very determined. They said that they will use major weapons.”
Randall laughed. “Jordan, you’re too naive. I’ve interacted with those people longer than you, and I know their style of doing things better than you. They have always been cautious. They will never use nuclear missiles rashly. They will do things step by step. After all, there are so many people in the US. No one wants to see innocent people harmed, right?”
Jordan was unconvinced. “But…”
Randall interrupted. “Alright, it’s getting late. You should rest early. I’ll settle this matter for Victoria. When she wakes up, I’ll tell her that you called her. As for whether she will reply, I can’t guarantee anything.”
With that, Randall hung up.
Jordan sighed angrily. He hated himself for not being in a position to save Victoria now!
He wanted to do something important for Victoria now, but because Randall was his uncle, he couldn’t!
If it was another man who married Victoria, Jordan would have ignored him and gone to find her.
The next day, at 10 AM.
Nags Head, in a luxurious sea view room.
