Chapter 1080 - Exchanging Secrets!

Hearing this, Jordan felt a lump in his throat. He didn’t expect Victoria to be so upset over his “death” that she cried for the entire night and even fainted.

Jordan suddenly recalled how Victoria had attempted suicide for him.

His love and feelings for Victoria seemed to have returned to their peak.

Jordan didn’t dare to imagine how desperate Victoria must have felt when she found out that he was dead. She must have been living a life worse than death these past few days. Her face must have been washed with tears, and she must have been utterly dejected.

Why didn’t Randall tell Victoria the truth when he knew that he wasn’t dead?

Perhaps Randall was worried that Victoria would ruin Jordan’s plan after finding out the truth. If the truth somehow spread to Shaun, it would probably ruin Jordan’s revenge plan.

Jordan looked at Victoria affectionately and held her hand. “You’re really silly. Why were you so sad? Even if I really died, you can’t disregard your health like this. You should accept it and continue living your life.”

Originally, Jordan had planned to break up with her when he saw her again. After all, the thought of Victoria sleeping with another man made Jordan unable to accept her as his wife.

However, after knowing that Victoria was so sad because of his death, how could Jordan bring this up now?

Victoria looked at Jordan affectionately, her eyes filled with happiness.

“Without you, I don’t want to live on either. How can I have a life? You’re everything to me.”

Jordan was touched and held Victoria’s hand even tighter.

Meanwhile, Lota watched with envy as her jealousy increased.

Jordan did not continue to be affectionate with Victoria. He quickly explained, “It’s a long story. I’m afraid we have to start with a heaven-defying invention of the Rong family.”

Victoria asked, “Is it that machine that can travel through time and space?”

Jordan was taken aback. “How did you know?”

Victoria smiled. “Your uncle told me.”

Jordan looked at Randall in surprise. “Uncle, you know that the Rong family has a Time Gate?”

Randall nodded. “That’s right. Over the years, I’ve often sent people to investigate the Rong family. I know all their secret bases very well. Including the machine that can travel through time and space.”

Jordan didn’t expect Randall to know so much. Moreover, it seemed like he knew about it a few years earlier than him.

If Randall had contacted Jordan earlier and told him about this, Jordan might have taken action sooner. Then he could have snatched the Time Gate long ago and wouldn’t have been controlled by Rong Huangde just to save Victoria.

Jordan was confused. “Only members of the Rong family have the right to enter the room with the Time Gate. Even if you planted spies there, they can’t enter. How do you know all this?”

Randall smiled. “In the beginning, I discovered that Rong Huangde had faked his death. After that, I realized that every time he entered a room in the base, he would only come out after a month or two. I felt that something was wrong, so I started eavesdropping on his conversations. After some further analysis, I deduced that there was a device in there that enabled him to return to the past.

“However, I wasn’t 100% sure until you appeared. In order to save Victoria, you went to find Rong Huangde. I was instantly certain that you went back in time to do this.”

Jordan realized then that not only had Randall been secretly monitoring the Rong family, but he was also secretly monitoring his every move. He couldn’t help admiring Randall’s spying and tracking abilities. Even an anti-surveillance expert like Jordan didn’t notice it.

But Jordan did not say those thoughts out loud.

Instead, he continued. “Since you all know about the Time Gate, it’s easy to explain. Rong Huangde has always wanted to find out the source of Shaun’s secret techniques, so he invited me to return to 1978 to help him. Rong Huangde, Shaun, Lauren and I returned to the Handley family town in 1978. There, we met Yumi’s mother, Uehara Yumi.”

Yumi glanced over.

Jordan said, “Uehara Yumi was also interrogating Shaun’s father and uncle about the source of their spells. Although Uehara Yumi is beautiful, her methods are extremely cruel. She killed many innocent villagers of the Handley family town.

“Uncle, how did you become friends with this woman?”

Randall could tell that Jordan was judging him.

As such, Randall only said, “I’ll tell you about this later. Finish your story first.”

Jordan went on. “I fought with Uehara Yumi and worked with Shaun to chase her away. After that, I gained Shaun’s uncle’s trust. Just as I was trying to find out the Handley family’s secret, Shaun interfered and prevented them from telling the truth.

“I realized Shaun’s true intentions. If Rong Huangde and I don’t die, we will never find out the truth. Therefore, I secretly contacted Rong Huangde and arranged for us to fake our deaths to deceive Shaun.”

When Randall heard this, he frowned anxiously. “In that case, Rong Huangde isn’t dead either?”

Jordan shook his head. “No, he really is dead. I predicted that he would take this opportunity to eliminate me after I faked my death, so Lauren and I killed him.”

Lota couldn’t help clapping. “Awesome! Jordan is awesome!”

Lota had hated Rong Huangde since the first time she saw him.

Likewise, Randall heaved a sigh of relief. If Rong Huangde was still alive, his mission was not over yet. He had to get rid of him.

Randall said, “So you already know the source of the Handley family’s spells?”

Jordan nodded. “Yes. A special immortal lake in Mount Denali. I know that place. You control it now. Uncle, I want to hear your story too. Why did you fake your death back then? How did you know the secret of the lake?”

Randall smiled and started to tell his story.

“Back then, I was young and ambitious. My relationship with your father wasn’t good either. There were also some open fights and hidden struggles. Speaking of which, those things really shouldn’t have happened.

“It was during that rebellious period that I left the family and met many people outside, including Shaun. Shaun knew that I was from a secret family and that I knew the Schmid family, so he asked me to introduce him to Tom At this point, I have to apologize to Lota. I’m sorry. Back then, Shaun used me. I ended up leading that predator into your home, causing your family to be controlled by him.”

Lota’s face was livid as she clenched her fists tightly. She was clearly very angry!
