Chapter 483 - Joker

Mo Xi held onto Zhao Ai Yun's hand once she got into the car as she wanted to see if she was alright. She then mentally noted anything that was abnormal after checking so that she could inform Tang Shao Chen and Bai Su Fei about it later.

Meanwhile, Tyler apologized to Mo Xi and the others when he got into the car.

"Lady Boss, I am sorry. I am sorry to have deceived all of you, including Boss."

"Who are you?" Valerie asked in anger as well.

"I am Tyler and I am part of Poker as well."

"It can't be. I have never seen you before. None of us saw you before."

"I am indeed part of Poker. However, unlike you, Xue Yue, Ellington, and Cayden, I am someone unknown by everyone. Only Donovan knows me. I am the Joker."

Valerie looked at Tyler in shock because she never knew Joker existed in Poker. Meanwhile, Vincent's hand almost slipped from the steering wheel due to shock.

"This is something Donovan created when he first got power in Poker. He wanted to have people that were not influenced by the other people in Poker. He wanted to have people that are able to listen to him and only him. However, that doesn't mean that if he does something bad or wants to do something bad, we would help him. He wanted people that he could trust and yet leave the pure side of him to. He wanted people that were able to fight just like Poker but had the heart of gold. This is why we are the Joker. We are almost like the wild card in the deck of cards. Donovan wanted people that were pure on the inside in Poker and we are like purity mirrors for him. Whenever he sees us, he would remind himself of the goodness and the importance of kindness. We don't train with the rest of Poker. We train in secret outside and live a normal life. The other two men that you guys saw are people who are directly in Poker. Everyone knows them, but he selected them to be under me. Those two are people that won't betray him or me and tell the others in Poker about what Donovan was doing. They follow orders only from Donovan and me. This is how Donovan is able to control Poker in certain ways and this is how we are able to save Mdm Zhao."

"If you are the Joker. Then, there must be another one, right? There are two Jokers in a deck of cards and it doesn't make sense to only have one. Besides, you said 'we' this means that there must be more than one Joker, right?"

"Yes. There is one more person, and you guys know that person as well."

Valerie, who was sitting at the passenger's seat, looked at Vincent immediately when she heard Tyler's words.

Vincent jumped up in his seat as he was afraid that Valerie would misunderstand him, "Not me! I swear I am not part of Joker!"

"Who?" Mo Xi asked.

"Xu Zi Fang. Xie Xiu Ling's husband."

Everyone was stunned by the revelation and Vincent's hands slipped from the steering wheel this time around.

Valerie smacked him immediately, "Do you want all of us to die?"

"Sorry!" Vincent said hurriedly as he regained his control on the steering wheel.

"Zi Fang was involved in the accident about ten years ago, but Donovan doesn't even know about Poker at that time. How could Zi Fang be selected by Donovan?"

"Zi Fang is the very first Joker. He was selected by Donovan's mother. In actual fact, the person who truly started Joker was Donovan's mother. Donovan's mother secretly got Zi Fang to become Joker without letting anyone else knowing about it. However, unlike Donovan, Donovan's mother wasn't able to keep her mind free of greed at the end. Donovan's mother ended up committing a lot of evil deeds and Zi Fang wasn't free from her hands either. Zi Fang wasn't part of Poker like the others, so he wasn't afraid of being captured as long as Donovan's mother doesn't tell others about his existence. However, he still knew everything about Poker and had a lot of information about them. Because of this, when Donovan's mother wanted too much, she was afraid that Zi Fang would tell others about her and Poker, and so she got people to kill Zi Fang. Zi Fang managed to escape from everything and started to have a peaceful and normal life. Years later, he met his wife and then they got married. He thought that he could finally have a peaceful life. However, he couldn't, and he was met with an accident that turned him vegetative."

Tyler then continued, "One of the reasons why Zi Fang turned vegetative was that Zhou Dong found out that Zi Fang had betrayed Poker and helped many people escaped in secret. Some day after Donovan's mother passed away, Zhou Dong found things that she had hidden from everyone while he was going through Donovan's parents' things. He also found leads and things that Zi Fang had done in secret. Zhou Dong was furious that an outsider knows so much about Poker, and he was afraid of the consequences, so he got people to hunt him down and eventually, he found Zi Fang. Zhou Dong then sent people to knock him down, but that accident didn't kill Zi Fang like Zhou Dong wanted. When Zhou Dong heard that Zi Fang didn't die in the accident, he tried multiple times to make him die. However, none of it worked because Zi Fang had people like mine, that made sure to not let such things happen. Donovan's mother doesn't know about Zi Fang's men and so there was nothing that could lead to Zhou Dong finding out about them. Hence, Zi Fang's men were able to continue keeping him alive though they were not able to do something about his vegetative state."
