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?"
