Chapter 1071
Spoiled by the President
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, âWhat Jeff said just now, what is the meaning of it? Gideon, shouldnât you explain it to us?â
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.
âI admit, the other three Arcane Jades are in my hands.â
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, âWhy? I know you have unspeakable difficulties, but you should give us an explanation at least. All this while weâve 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 donât you?â
Gideon said hoarsely, âI admit this is my fault, but do you know why Jeff was in a hurry to gather all the twelve Arcane Jades?â
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, âSince both of you donât know about it, then why not let me tell you a story.â
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, âHeâs a human who has lived for a thousand years?â
Gideon nodded.
âBack then, I never believed that there was such a thing in this world, but it just had to happen before my eyes.â
âLet me tell you the truth. Although Iâm the president of Leith Corporation on the surface, the fact is Iâm also the leader of X-Organization.â
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, âThat means youâve been hunting for Jeff?â
Gideon nodded.
âIâve 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.â
âIf he wants to bring Zeezee back to life, do you know where he needs to go so that itâs compatible with the Energy stone?â
Gregory and Vickie shook their heads.
Gideon answered in a deep voice, âThe place where the meteorite crashed, which is the place that is covered with nuclear radiation.â
Both of them were stunned.
Gideon continued, âWhen the meteorite crashed, it caused such huge nuclear radiation that it infected the people nearby who either became sick or had left that place.
âSo when we realized his objective and plan from the start, we immediately formed a team to stop him. However, heâs as cunning as a fox. We still failed to arrest him after so many years.
Gideon was so persuasive that everybody believed him.
Even though Gregory and Vickie were surprised, after his explanation, they were clear about the things that they did not understand earlier.
With a frown, Vickie spoke in a deep voice, âIf thatâs the case, the Arcane Jades cannot fall into his hands, but heâs now using Nelly to threaten us.
What should we do?â
âWe can only play by ear.â
Since the decision was made, there was nothing more to discuss.
Not long after, the voices of someone speaking loudly came from outside.
Gregory could not listen to what the guys outside were saying clearly because the distance was too far and they were separated by a few walls.
However, they could roughly guess that it was Gideonâs subordinates who came back.
As expected, the men outside soon walked into the room.
âFollow me!â
Jeff laughed plainly when he saw that they were brought out.
âWe already brought them out, now you can give me the things that I want.â
Now that Jeff had revealed his intention, he no longer concealed his schemes toward the Arcane Jades.
The people who stood in the hall looked at Gideon, and their faces changed.
As they were hesitating on what to do, Gideon said with a raspy voice, âWhere are Nelly and Cathy?â

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Jeff lifted his brows.
âWhat? Are you afraid that Iâll take your things and not let them go? The Arcane Jades are what I want, so theyâre useless to me. Once I get my hands on it, I will release her automatically. You have my word. â
Gideon sneered.
âHow do I know if youâll keep your promise?â
Jeff thought for a moment like he was seriously considering his question.
He then replied after a while, âWhy donât we do it this way. I let my men bring them down, you pass me the things, and Iâll hand them to you. However, I need to make sure the things are genuine before I let them go. How about that?â
Gideon kept quiet for a moment before he answered, âOkay.â
Jeff then instructed his subordinates, and very quickly, Nell and Cathy were brought down.
Seeing Gideon again immediately turned Nellâs face pale.
Gideon looked at her in concern and only after he made sure that she did not have a single wound on her body was he relieved.
Jeff stretched out his hand again.
âCan you hand me those things now?â
