As long as Jordan dealt with Clara’s real body, Victoria would be able to escape her control and be saved!
Jordan was not the only one standing in front of Room 507. Lionel and his subordinates were also present. Before Jordan arrived, they had already asked all the guests in the entire hotel to check out and leave.
This was because Clara was too dangerous. She had already killed several of Lionel’s subordinates. For the safety of the guests, Lionel had no choice but to do this.
Lionel said with a serious expression, “Mr. Jordan, this woman is very powerful. My subordinates were armed but she killed them using some unknown method before they could even get close to her. I also examined the bodies of my men. There are no signs of injury at all. For your safety, you should wait for me downstairs. I’ll personally bring my men in and help you catch her!”
Jordan glanced at Lionel and his subordinates and said, “Go back down to the lobby and bring your men with you. I can go in alone.”
Lionel had no idea about Clara’s methods. No matter how good they were at combat or what weapons they used, it was useless against her. Even someone as strong as Dragon was almost killed by Clara’s servant.
Lionel was shocked. “What? You want to rush in alone? You can’t do that! That old woman kills without batting an eyelid. You’re a very important person in the US! We can’t let anything happen to you! If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
Ordinary people might not know Jordan’s identity, but Lionel definitely did.
The Steele family was extremely important to their country’s military and technological advancement. They absolutely could not lose the Steele family as an aid and friend.
Jordan was the most outstanding among the latest generation. There was a high chance that the Steele family business would be handed over to Jordan. As a result, Lionel would rather die with his subordinates than let Jordan take this risk.
But Jordan was insistent. “I’ll be fine. Don’t worry. Listen to me. All of you, go down now!”
Would Lionel listen?
“No, I definitely can’t let you barge in alone! Mr. Jordan, step back. I’ll bring my men in now!”
Lionel shouted at his subordinates, “Men, let’s go…”
Thud!
Before Lionel could finish his command, Jordan punched him.
Jordan said angrily, “Are you crazy? I don’t care if you want to die. But if you let Clara escape again, how will I find her?! Take your men and get lost immediately!”
Lionel was not angry after being punched by Jordan. He even believed that Jordan was just trying to be a hero and not implicate them.
Lionel knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. “Mr. Jordan, if you insist on going in, I’m willing to go in and die with you!”
Thud!
Thud!
Lionel’s subordinates also knelt on the ground. “We are willing to die with Mr. Jordan!”
Jordan covered his face in exasperation. They were wasting his time! The thought of dying never even crossed Jordan’s mind!
However, Jordan was also a little moved by this scene. Lionel was not afraid of death. He was willing to put his life on the line for Jordan and could be considered a good and loyal subordinate.
Jordan helped Lionel to his feet. “Alright, you stay. Get your subordinates to leave.”
“Uh…”
Lionel was still a little hesitant. He knew that his subordinates were all brave and loyal men who would never back down from a challenge.
Jordan said anxiously, “Don’t waste my time. I don’t know where Clara has taken Victoria. Every minute you delay me is another minute of danger for Victoria!”
Without another word, Lionel got his subordinates to head downstairs to wait. Only then did Jordan tell him the real reason why he wanted them to leave.
Jordan took out something from his clothes. Lionel could not see what it was. But he saw Jordan’s hand suddenly disappear into thin air!
“Mr. Jordan, your hand is… gone?”
Lionel was shocked by the sight.
Jordan smiled. “This is why I wanted you all to leave. I’m holding a quantum invisibility cloak. A secret technology that is decades ahead.”
Lionel was overjoyed. “Invisibility cloak? You want to break in wearing an invisibility cloak?”
