As she heard those stories, Lauren's shocked expression did not fade.
"Oh my god, I can't believe the Rong family actually developed a time machine... So you saved Victoria by going back in time and planting an idea in her. But, Hubby, you killed Rong Huangde's grandson. Will he kill you after he's done using you?"
Lauren was very smart and always looked out for Jordan. She immediately realized the danger.
Jordan said, "I can't guarantee that. I still don't have a good grasp of Rong Huangde. Since we met, he never displayed any intention to hurt me."
Shaun spoke up. "You have to be wary of others’ Rong Huangde is too good at hiding his true intentions! Jordan, This old fellow makes me shudder. Sometimes, I dream of him in my sleep. I think we should strike first and find the right opportunity to kill him! Otherwise, he might kill us after using us."
Lauren asked in surprise, "If Rong Huangde wants to kill my husband, will Mr. Shaun help us?"
Shaun hurriedly said, "Of course! Jordan and I are partners. We're on the same side! Besides, your husband is not the only one whom Rong Huangde has a grudge with. He has a grudge against me too. Don't forget that this body of mine belongs to his son. I killed his son and replaced him. Rong Huangde will never let me off. He will kill me sooner or later."
Lauren nodded. In that case, Shaun was indeed on the same side as Jordan.
"With you on our side, I'm relieved."
Lauren knew how powerful Shaun was. If they traveled back in time together and the three of them formed an alliance, Rong Huangde would be alone.
She and Jordan would be safer.
However, Shaun suddenly said, "Jordan, I will definitely risk my life to help you in Cocodrie. I won't let anyone hurt you and my disciple! However, before we time-travel, I have a small request."
"Go ahead."
Jordan was a little curious about what Shaun would ask.
Shaun said, "You know how uncomfortable it is to be controlled. You've already neutralized Rong Huangde's poison in me. But the 'golden headband curse' you put on me hasn't been undone yet."
Jordan realized what Shaun was talking about.
Shaun had undergone the mind-transplant procedure and Jordan had added something to the stabilizer. This enabled him to control Shaun.
No matter where Shaun was, Jordan could control him even from thousands of miles away by giving him a splitting headache.
Jordan said, "Shaun, you are too unfathomable to me. I think it's better to have this 'golden headband curse' on you for the time being. I'll be more at ease."
Bang!
Shaun lost his temper and broke a cup.
"Jordan! I treat you as my brother. I'm willing to fight with you against Rong Huangde, the most powerful man in the world! I'm even willing to die for you! But you're still treating me like a puppet. I'm so disappointed!
"1 passed on the Handley family's secret to your wife. I've been honest with you guys and taught you everything. I've never hidden anything! I just don't want to be controlled all the time, but you won't even agree to such a small request. Alright, I'm not going on this time-travel trip. You two can go with Rong Huangde!"
Shaun suddenly lost his temper and said that he wasn't going to time travel anymore.
Actually, he was the one who really wanted to take this trip the most. With his father and uncle's help, he could kill Jordan and Rong Huangde.
Seeing this, Lauren hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Shaun, don't be angry. My husband isn't using you as a puppet. Don't misunderstand."
Jordan thought for a moment. Since Shaun had threatened him with such words, it proved that he really wanted Jordan to remove the control. If Jordan did not satisfy Shaun's request, he would not help him even if he forced him to time-travel.
Without Shaun's help, Jordan would definitely be in danger.
