Chapter 1123 Failed To Enter The Immortal Lake!
"It's too terrifying! If even our group ends up being controlled by her, then America's life and death will be in her hands! She might start a war against other countries, or she might do terrifying things to the citizens. We can't allow such a thing to happen!"
Silence fell over the solemn conference room.
Although this room had a very simple design and didn't look very luxurious, it was equipped with the most advanced anti-surveillance equipment and other high-tech devices.
Not everyone could enter this room.
After a moment of silence, the discussion continued.
"This person is from the Mutant Tribe? We don't seem to have any records of such a person in the Mutant Tribe."
"Yes, she's a new mutant. Her name is Victoria Clarke."
Photos and videos of Victoria on the street appeared on the screen. America was filled with surveillance cameras so it was very easy to obtain this information.
"Victoria Clarke? Isn't she Jordan Steele's girlfriend?"
"No, Victoria Clarke broke up with Mr. Jordan. She has joined the Mutant Tribe."
There was another short silence.
"Call Lionel from the Black Ops Team over."
Knock! Knock!
"Captain Lionel, I have something very important to tell you. Contact Mr. Jordan Steele immediately and tell him that we have listed Victoria as the most dangerous person in the US. This is no small matter. We wanted to get rid of her at all costs, but on account that she's Mr. Jordan's lover, we're willing to give her a chance.
"Tell Mr. Jordan to take Victoria out of America and to go to another country. Also, she must promise not to return without permission. We hope that he can understand. As the guardian of America, we know that Mr. Jordan has done a lot for us. This is the biggest compromise we can make for him."
Lionel responded. "Yes! I will call Mr. Jordan now!"
…
Mount Denali, Immortal Lake.
Late at night, Jordan and Salvatore arrived at the barrier.
Salvatore was very excited. "Hahaha, I'm going to jump into the Immortal Lake later too. I'm a lucky star. I definitely have the potential to be a mutant! If I was really a mutant, I would want to have the ability to fly. I would look so handsome flying around!"
Jordan glanced at Salvatore's body. "I don't think a flying pig will be that handsome."
"Stop talking. Be serious."
Soon, the two of them tried to enter the barrier.
Jordan and Salvatore had clearly entered once during the day.
However, they failed this time.
Salvatore was puzzled. "Mr. Jordan, why can't we enter?"
Jordan frowned. "This is bad. The rules of the Immortal Lake barrier must have changed. I should have expected this."
Salvatore said, "F*ck, Randall is quite cunning. He has already flown to Nags Head, yet he still had the time to ask his subordinates to change the rules of the Immortal Lake barrier. Mr. Jordan, what should we do now?"
Worried that there would be an ambush here, Jordan said, "We'll go back first then discuss."
Jordan and Salvatore returned to their invisible plane and took off their invisibility cloaks.
Salvatore was gloomy. "Mr. Jordan, your uncle must be worried that you'll obtain stronger abilities than him from the Immortal Lake. That's why he's so cautious and won't let you in. The more he doesn't let you in, the more you have to go in. Don't give up just like that."
Jordan took a sip of water and said, "Don't worry, when I want to do something, I won't stop until I achieve my goal. Besides, my uncle can't stop me."
Salvatore saw that Jordan was not upset about failing to enter the Immortal Lake. He knew that Jordan was very resourceful so he asked, "Master, do you already have a way to enter the Immortal Lake? How?"
Jordan shook his head. "I can't guess or predict Uncle's new barrier rules for the time being. But I have other ways to enter the Immortal Lake."
Salvatore was confused. "Other ways? What other ways? Unless your uncle or someone from the Mutant Tribe brings you in or tells you the method, we can't enter. We can't just blast open the barrier."
Jordan smiled. "I don't need to know the rules of my uncle's barrier, and I don't need to enter the Immortal Lake when it is under their jurisdiction."
Salvatore was even more confused now. "If you don't go in, how can you obtain abilities?"
Jordan explained. "You're so stupid. Have you forgotten that the Rong family has a Time Gate? I can't enter the Immortal Lake at this present time. So I'll return to the past and enter when the Immortal Lake is not guarded. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Salvatore patted his bald head and smiled foolishly. "I'm just not as smart as you, Master. Haha, you're so smart. That's right. Why waste your efforts here? If we go back to 20 years ago, wouldn't you win if you jumped into the lake even before Randall did? Haha, Master, shall we set off for Chongming Island immediately?"
Jordan nodded. "Yes, but I think my uncle's men are guarding the Time Gate there."
Only then did Salvatore feel a little regretful. "That's right. We didn't split things properly when we agreed to share the Rong family assets. Their people were the first to go over there so they just occupied it. F*ck, this is my fault! How can we let their people watch over such an important place?! But we agreed at that time that the Rong family is under the joint jurisdiction of you and your uncle. You have the right to go there as well. They will never dare to stop you. If they do, kill them!"
Jordan nodded. "Yes, I have to go there no matter what. However, I don't want my uncle to know that I used the Time Gate."
Salvatore agreed. "Yes, although I don't like Randall, I have to admire him. This old fellow is too clever. The moment he knows that you're going to Chongming Island, he will immediately guess what you're going to do. He's quite evil. He even snatched your wife away. Knowing him, he'll definitely go over and cause trouble for you!"
Jordan reprimanded seriously. "Don't talk about me and Victoria in front of me. This is my personal matter! It's not something for you to comment on, understand?"
Salvatore immediately lowered his head. "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Jordan!"
At this moment, Jordan received a call from Lionel.
"Captain Lionel, it's already so late. What's the matter?"
Jordan knew that every time he received a call from Lionel, it was because something major had happened in the US!
What would have happened this time?
