Chapter 1927

Author: Cozy Season
The army vetted Jordan for a long time.

By then, he wasn't the spoiled rich kid anymore.

The higher-ups gave him a critical mission. It involved the four great families and Debra.

The car accidents that killed the four families' elders years ago had a wide-reaching influence.

Caleb always believed a hidden force lurked in Seamar City, Orkgate, or even overseas. Jordan's mission was to go undercover in Orkgate.

"Marion spent over a decade alone overseas to uncover the secrets behind the four families. As the Potter family's heir, can't you even handle this?" Caleb said solemnly.

That hit Jordan's weakest spot. Everyone said the Potters had a genius in Andrew and a slacker in Jordan.

He hid his skills on purpose, but he didn't want people to think the Potters had no one left.

"I'll do it," he said, eager to make Andrew proud.

In Orkgate, he dealt with thugs every day and caught bits and pieces about Debra.

Caleb had told him that for the mission, he had to cut personal ties and

    A knock came at the door.Solomon and I sat up straight.The door opened, revealing Debra in simple jeans and a white blouse.Her long hair was tied high. She looked sharp and clean."You, come with me," she said, crooking a finger at me."Me?" I pointed at myself."Yeah, you."She turned and left.I glanced at Solomon, and he nodded.We both understood that she would not harm us.I followed her out, but instead of heading to her room, she picked an empty one nearby.I felt a twinge of nerves. "Why did you bring me here?""I checked. Arcane Academy has no record of you two." Her fingers tapped the table.I held my breath under the weight of her words.She stared at me. "Why did you lie?""We didn't. It's just...""Just what? You're from the future?"I froze, disbelief washing over me."Bingo," she smiled. "The moment I saw you, I felt a connection. Like you were my kid.""Mom...""Hold it. Stick with Mrs. Houston for now."She wasn't ready to be a college kid's mot

    They prepared to leave.Just then, some police cars rolled in, led by Pedro. He ordered his team to handle the ship's wreckage and scattered bodies.The sky darkened.Solomon and I had nowhere else to go, so we followed them.At first, we thought we'd slipped under the radar, hiding beneath the van. But once the van hit the road, we realized they knew.Randy floored it, speeding like a maniac.By the time we arrived, Solomon and I couldn't hold it together. We stumbled out, puking our guts out.Randy hopped out, grinning at our misery. "Couldn't hack it, huh? And you thought you could take us on? Come back in a decade."I retched, the world spinning. Solomon fared slightly better but still hurled.Debra stepped forward. "I let you go, and you chase us down? You really got a death wish?""Mom..." My head was fuzzy, blurring the line between dream and reality.The sight of her youthful face snapped me back. This was a dream, and these were adults in their prime.I had never s

    Marion stepped forward, pressing a gun to Solomon's jaw and forcing his head up."Where did you come from?" he demanded.The pressure was suffocating. Solomon couldn't breathe.This version of Marion was simply awe-inspiring.I jumped in. "We're not with the Illuminati. We're your fans."Marion glanced at me. His eyes carried a chilling, murderous intensity that made me shrink."High schoolers, huh? Their clothes are weird." Randy inspected our outfits.Erica, on the other hand, seemed intrigued. "Pretty trendy. How did I miss this brand's new line?"Solomon and I wore limited-edition fall gear from a well-known brand. She recognized it as she circled us."We're not high schoolers," I said. "We're in college.""Which one?""Arcane Academy."Randy glanced at Debra. "You've got some juniors here."She graduated from Arcane too, but beyond that, I didn't know much.She stepped closer. "Last chance. Why are you tailing us?""We..." Before I could finish, Solomon cut in. "We

    "What's that smell? It's awful." I covered my nose.The blood stench was overwhelming, like one from a slaughterhouse mixed with the briny sea."Something's wrong," Solomon muttered."Ma'am, they killed so many of our guys." The lead bodyguard's face was grim. "They followed us for years. The Illuminati are animals!"The west docks were littered with bodies, sprawled in every direction.Debra forced herself to stay calm. "Haven't the police shown up yet?""They're on their way," another bodyguard chimed in. "When I got here, our guys were already down. This is sheer provocation."Randy frowned. "Hold on. They made this big a mess just to pick a fight?""Something is wrong," Debra said, raising her hand. "Run!"The bodyguards quickly scattered. Their leader stepped in front of Debra and Erica.A massive explosion roared from the sea."Mom!" I shouted, trying to rush over."Are you nuts? That's a bomb." Solomon grabbed me, leading me to run.The blasts kept coming. It was li

    Unimpressed, Debra kicked the bodyguard in the backside. "So, you just grabbed two high school kids? Didn't even bother to ask questions? What if you got the wrong people?"The bodyguard rubbed his sore rear. "Ma'am, these two punks were scrapping like pros. It looked shady to me. Better detain and grill them.""Grill them? You think this is some overseas black site? You've been hanging with Marion for too long, ready to interrogate anyone who crosses your path," Debra sulked.Randy descended from the executive office upstairs. He looked like he'd pulled several all-nighters. His face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes.Solomon saw him and blurted, "Dad?""Huh?" Randy froze.Erica, hot on his heels, grabbed his ear. Her tone dripped with suspicion. "Dad?""Hold up! I don't even know this guy." He pointed frantically at Solomon. "You're some Illuminati plant, aren't you? Do we look alike at all? You're talking nonsense."Debra glanced at Solomon, then back at Randy. T

    Their tough attitude surprised me but allowed me to get a glimpse of my family's past.These weren't the roughnecks I knew."Lock them up," Ben said flatly."Yes, sir." The guards quickly grabbed us.I tensed, realizing that if we let them cage us, we were done for. I exchanged a look with Solomon, and we leaped into action.We'd only let them catch us so we could see our parents. Since that wasn't happening, we were not going down without a fight.Ben paused, finding our moves familiar.As we duked it out, a woman's voice cut through. "Stop!"It was clear and crisp, with an edge that demanded respect.I spun around, and there stood my mom. She wore a bold red dress, her hair loose to her waist. Her makeup was flawless.She looked way younger than I remembered. For a moment, I was amazed by her vibrance.Lost in awe, I didn't see a fist coming. Solomon yanked me back just in time, or I'd have lost a couple of teeth."Didn't you hear me? I said stop," Debra snapped, her gaze
