1311 Turning From Enemy into Friend?
Salvatore looked down on this group of mutants very much. Although they were indeed a group of very strong subordinates, what were they useful for?
Turning to Jordan, Salvatore asked, “Mr. Jordan, what should we do with these mutant bastards?”
Jordan looked at the mutants who were kneeling in front of him and begging to be taken in. Although he despised them in his heart, he did not have much intention of dealing with them at the moment.
Jordan felt dizzy after being struck by the Moon Maiden’s lightning attack. With his endurance, he should not have been hit like this.
Jordan said calmly, “Lock up those who committed crimes in various places first. The rest are to be determined.”
“Yes!”
Upon receiving the order, Salvatore first grabbed Linus and cuffed him.
“Salvatore, I didn’t do anything!”
Linus still wanted to quibble.
Slap!
Salvatore slapped him. “I’ll catch you even if you didn’t do anything. Who asked you to talk so much!”
After the group of mutants was brought down by Salvatore, Randall gulped nervously. Now that Jordan was in charge of Immortal Lake and the Mutant Tribe, he could not stay here anymore.
Randall stood behind Mike Baylor in a low voice and said, “Master, let’s go too.”
However, Mike Baylor had no intention of leaving. With the Moon Maiden present, it was impossible for him to avenge his golden-horned dragon.
Instead, he observed Jordan’s condition carefully and suddenly sensed that something was wrong with him.
Mike Baylor looked at Victoria. Like him, Victoria was sizing up Jordan’s condition.
Victoria and Mike Baylor looked at each other, and Mike gave Victoria a look.
“The Moon Maiden’s attack just now might have helped me trigger the memories that Victoria and I tampered with on Jordan in advance.”
Mike Baylor suddenly had this thought. He could tell that Victoria seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Jordan.
After receiving Mike Baylor’s gaze, Victoria immediately understood what he wanted her to do. Mike Baylor wanted her to test if Jordan’s memory had been tampered with.
On the other hand, the experiment was very simple. He just had to see Jordan’s attitude towards Victoria. If there was a change in attitude, like less hostility and disdain, it meant that the tampering was successful. If he was still as cold and heartless as before, it meant that his memories had not been tampered with.
Victoria paused and asked Jordan, “Jordan, I… Can I ask you for a favor?”
Jordan looked at Victoria, “Speak.”
Victoria gently said, “You also know that ever since I became a purple mutant, I can’t go to many places because my mental control is too strong. I can’t live a normal life anymore. Now that I’m used to living among the mutants, can I continue to stay in Immortal Lake and join the mutants as your subordinate?”
Victoria’s request was very sincere. Everyone, including Park Sora and Dragon, believed that she truly wanted to stay here.
However, the last time Victoria requested to stay in the Mutant Tribe and be Jordan’s subordinate, Jordan rejected her.
Therefore, Park Sora and Dragon still thought that Victoria was wasting her breath this time. Jordan would not agree.
However, Jordan replied, “Of course. I’m very happy that you’re willing to stay with the mutants I lead.”
Hearing this answer, Randall, Park Sora, Dragon, and the others were all shocked, while Mike Baylor smiled.
“Success!”
From this, Mike Baylor knew that his and Victoria’s tampering with Jordan’s memories had taken effect!
Victoria was also very happy. “Thank you, Jordan!”
Park Sora said in surprise, “Brother, you… you forgave her? You don’t blame her?”
Jordan said, “The past is just a series of disasters and accidents. There’s no forgiveness. She didn’t do anything wrong. Perhaps we’re not fated, but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to be friends or colleagues.”
Park Sora was speechless for a moment. “Alright, you’re so magnanimous. Sigh, I have to find a boyfriend like you in the future.”
“Hahaha…”
At that moment, Mike Baylor burst into laughter, as if he had forgotten about the death of his golden-horned dragon. “Jordan, you’re indeed a young hero. In such a short period of time, you actually developed a mysterious space and defeated my golden-horned dragon. Fortunately, I have more than one golden-horned dragon. I won’t make the same mistake as today next time!
“However, I, Mike Baylor, admit defeat. I’ll let you have Immortal Lake and the Mutant Tribe! It just so happens that the Moon Maiden and the monk are here today. It’s also a good day for Jordan to take over as the owner of the Immortal Lake. Why don’t the four of us mutants sit down and have a drink to celebrate him? Coincidentally, I was having a cocktail party at Immortal Lake before you came!”
Everyone looked at Mike Baylor. Mike Baylor’s golden-horned dragon was dead. How could he still be in the mood to sit down and drink with Jordan to celebrate?
Even the Moon Maiden and Jiumo Kasyapa, the two old friends, couldn’t figure out what Mike Baylor was up to.
Jiumo Kasyapa was stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, “That’s great! Mr. Baylor and Deity Jordan, you are both the successors of Immortal Lake, so you should help each other and become friends. Don’t let a fight ruin our harmony.”
The Moon Maiden looked at Mike Baylor in admiration as well. “Looks like you still have quite a few golden-horned dragons in the South Pole. Your ferocious beast is dead, but you’re still willing to celebrate for Jordan. I’m starting to look at you in a new light.”
Mike Baylor laughed and said, “Moon Maiden, we’re all old people. We’re all people of Jordan’s father’s age. Why would I be calculative with a child? Jordan, what do you think?”
In response, Jordan said calmly, “Sure, let’s go to Immortal Lake. I’ll treat you all.”
Jordan had always been warm and hospitable. Coupled with the fact that he had just become the owner of Immortal Lake, he wanted to show off his authority as the owner.
Therefore, everyone returned to Immortal Lake. Jordan built a high platform out of thin air and conjured four beautiful chairs and a high-tech luxurious square table with all kinds of liquor on it.
Jordan said, “I heard that Mr. Baylor likes to drink in high places. Let’s gather here. It’ll be quieter.”
Mike Baylor selected a bottle of whiskey from the rows of dazzling liquor and poured himself a glass. The Moon Maiden chose a bottle of red wine, while Jiumo Kasyapa, who didn’t consume alcohol, had tea.
After pouring the drinks, the four of them had a drink. Jordan said, “Mr. Baylor, I had no choice but to kill your golden-horned dragon. If you don’t send ferocious beasts to disturb my country again, I think we can still be friends.”
Mike Baylor smiled and said, “Of course I’m very happy to be friends with Deity Jordan. I promise you that from now on, I won’t touch your country.”
Jiumo Kasyapa held his teacup and frowned slightly.
