Jordan offered to let Rong Huangde control him with poison so as to dispel Rong Huangde’s worries about him.
All for the sake of waking Victoria up as soon as possible. On one hand, he was doing this because he loved Victoria deeply and wanted her to wake up quickly. On the other hand, it was also for safety’s sake.
If Jordan helped Rong Huangde explore the secrets of the Handley family’s ancestors first, who knew what kind of danger he would encounter? He might never return. If Jordan died, who would save Victoria?
Jordan didn’t think Rong Huangde would be so kind as to save a woman who was as good as a stranger to him.
In addition, Rong Huangde had explored the Handley family’s secrets for so many years, but he had not discovered anything. Even if Jordan was a Deity, it would definitely take a long time.
Jordan didn’t want Victoria to wait that long.
Rong Huangde frowned as he quietly considered the feasibility of this matter. The Rong family’s poison was the most advanced in the world. It was not something other normal poisons could compare to.
Even if Jordan was a Deity and had a top-notch medical team behind him, he might not be able to develop an antidote in a short period of time.
One had to take the antidote once a week or they would die.
With this thought in mind, Rong Huangde was confident that he could use this poison to control Jordan.
However, he was reluctant to do so.
He didn’t want their relationship to be based on a threat.
Rong Huangde hurriedly said, “Jordan, what are you talking about? Why would I poison you? I’m not a demon who will poison people to control them. I gave Shaun the poison because I was worried that he would use my son’s identity to do nefarious things.
“As you know, he is a demon. He has killed countless people and enjoys the pleasure of being a ruler. Previously, he didn’t hesitate to use biochemical weapons to endanger so many innocent lives! If I was really someone who liked to kill and threaten others, I wouldn’t have spared Shaun’s life after he killed my son!”
Looking at Rong Huangde’s sincere gaze, Jordan was slightly moved. Perhaps this old man really had a good heart.
He had been the number one person in the world for the past few decades, and the world developed well. He had not abused his power or used advanced technology to commit bad deeds.
Jordan’s grandfather mentioned to Jordan before that Rong Huangde was a respectable person.
Rong Huangde sighed. “Jordan, it must be hard on you to love this ordinary woman so much. Alright, I’ll let you save your wife first. Then, we’ll discuss other things.”
Jordan was very excited. “Thank you, Mr. Rong!”
Rong Huangde agreed to let Jordan save Victoria first.
Shaun stood up. “Dad, I want to travel to the past with Deity Jordan, okay?”
Rong Huangde was a little surprised. “Aren’t you very afraid of traveling to the past?”
Shaun smiled awkwardly. “I’ll be following Dad sooner or later to explore the secrets of our Handley family. I’ll treat this expedition as training. After all, this particular trip wouldn’t be that dangerous.”
Rong Huangde smiled. “As long as Jordan agrees, I have no objections.”
Jordan nodded. “Alright, let’s go together. If anything happens to me, you can come back anytime and report to Mr. Rong.”
Jordan didn’t want to reveal that Shaun was going to help him. He didn’t want Rong Huangde to see that he had a good relationship with Shaun. Instead, Jordan made it sound as if Shaun could be used as a way to help Rong Huangde monitor him.
All of a sudden, Shaun said, “Dad, this is our first time traveling. As we are not familiar with the process and might take a long time. Can you give me the antidote for two weeks first?”
Shaun had to take the antidote once a week, or he would die.
Rong Huangde glanced at Jordan before agreeing to Shaun’s request.
Rong Huangde said, “I hope you can finish this within two weeks. Two weeks is enough to instill an idea into a simple woman like Victoria. If it were me, I would do it within a week.”
Victoria was not in a special profession, such as a special agent or assassin. She was just an ordinary businesswoman. To someone like Rong Huangde, he would find her very easy to deal with.
“Jordan, how far back in time do you plan to go?” Asked Rong Huangde.
Jordan thought for a long time. How far back in time should he return to?
One week? Or one month?
After pondering for a long time, Jordan said, “I want to go back to the first time I met Victoria. Two years ago!”
For some reason, Jordan suddenly wanted to go back to the first time he met Victoria. He wanted to experience the process of falling in love with Victoria all over again.
Moreover, the earlier he could implant the idea, the deeper it would take root in her heart and become an unshakeable notion.
Rong Huangde didn’t object. “Tell me the exact date. The year, month and day. I need to set the date for you on the Time Gate.”
Shaun smiled. “Deity Jordan, do you still remember the first time you met Victoria? I’m afraid you’ve already forgotten, haha.”
Jordan blurted out, “10 April 2020 was the first time I met Victoria. How could I forget?”
“Victoria isn’t the only one. I also remember very clearly the date I first met Lauren at the coffee shop.”
Rong Huangde went to set the date on the Time Gate.
Reaching out his old fingers, he set the date on the touch screen to 8 April 2020.
“Why did you set it two days early?” Shaun asked curiously.
Rong Huangde replied, “This is your first time travel. There will definitely be many things that you won’t be able to adapt to. You will need at least a day or two to adjust. Therefore, I brought forward the date by two days. The location is Orlando, right?”
Rong Huangde set the time-travel location to Orlando in the US.
“Now, come and collect this backpack which you will need.”
Rong Huangde asked Dr. T to give Jordan and Shaun a backpack each.
Opening the bag, there were many things inside, such as oxygen masks, protective suits, bank cards, cash, expensive watches, weapons and drones.
Shaun sighed. “This backpack is really comprehensive. Thank you, Dad!”
Rong Huangde looked at Shaun. “When you reach Orlando from two years ago, you have to protect Jordan at all times, understand? Jordan is a Deity, an important figure who can affect the world. Even if you die, you can’t let him die.”
Shaun smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect him.”
Rong Huangde turned toward Jordan and extended his hand. “Jordan, congratulations on starting this exciting journey. I can guarantee that after this, you will fall in love with time travel. I wish you success!”
