Meanwhile, in New York, in the United States.
It was now morning in the financial center that was Manhattan.
In a conference room on the top floor of a skyscraper, an old man in his seventies was cursing furiously at seven to eight people.
He roared, "I just can’t understand how an old man who's been sent to the hospital can evaporate into thin air! They are all a bunch of fucking losers! Garbage!"
The shouting man was Jordan's eldest son, Spencer Fox.
A few hours ago, he had just announced the news of his new ascension to his new
position to his father over the phone. He deliberately used provocative words to stimulate the already ill Jordan, so the latter’s body would collapse as soon as possible.
From Spencer’s understanding of his father, the phone call would definitely give the man a devastating blow. In fact, it might even lead Jordan to a heart attack and kill him in an instant!
Therefore, Spencer had some of his men keep an eye on every move in Aurous Hill.
He also sent an undercover agent to the auction.
After the auction ended, the undercover agent returned to his room and reported the news to him immediately. When Spencer learnt that the Rejuvenating Pill could really back people back to life, he was very glad he had made the decision to usurp Jordan's position on that day.
If Jordan were to succeed in obtaining the Rejuvenating Pill, he would probably live o n for at least another ten to twenty years in future.
Spencer feared that the old man would be i n control until he died.
His agent also added that Lord Fox had fallen seriously ill, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Spencer then arranged for his spy to head to the hospital to dig up the old man's current condition.
He wanted to know if the old man had died, or was being resuscitated.
Spencer’s subordinates managed to acquire some leftover footage from the surveillance cameras in the hospital. They discovered that Jarvis had destroyed several surveillance probes along the way, and took advantage of the blind spot of the surveillance cameras to disappear with Jordan and Kathleen
The three of them disappeared into thin air right after. The trail ended right there and then.
Spencer was understandably furious.
Thus, he ended up screaming his head off a t his subordinates in his office.
His confidant, Hayman Morgan, who had been his military assistant for nearly forty years, spoke up. "Sir, Jarvis Yant is a sevenstar martial artist with superb strength. With him around, it’d be difficult for us to find any clues about the Old Master and Miss Kathleen. Furthermore, our main force is in the United States. We only have a small number of spies in Aurous Hill.
Insufficient manpower aside, they're also not strong enough. It won’t be easy to figure out the situation over there."
Spencer nodded. He said through clenched teeth, "It seems Jarvis Yant is really ignorant about current affairs. What can he benefit from staying by that old man's side? Why isn’t he fleeing from the darkness to come over to the light where I a m?!"
