Chapter 1362 - 1362 Leaving
1362 Leaving
Like that, Lauren asked Jordan to leave. In fact, ever since Lauren became the goddess of the Immortal Lake, every conversation between the two of them was filled with awkwardness.
Jordan nodded. “Alright, if you need a quiet place to cultivate, you can return to the villa we stayed in before. That place is the most private and suitable place for cultivation in the capital. It’s better than here.
“I’ll go back now, pack up my things and take them away. I bought that villa for you. Since we’re separated now, we’ll treat it as a separation of assets. I’ll give you the house. Women like to ask for a house after a divorce. Of course, I know you don’t lack anything.”
Listening to Jordan’s words, Lauren felt a little sad, as if she was recalling more of their time together.
Jordan did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Looking at Jordan’s lonely back, Lauren could not help but sigh and call out Jordan’s name.
“Jordan…”
…
Jordan met Victoria as soon as he walked out of the hospital. It turned out that Victoria had not left. She had been waiting for Jordan at the door.
Seeing Jordan walk out sadly, Victoria quickly went forward and asked, “Jordan, how was your conversation with Lauren? Are you still husband and wife? Or have you become her disciple?”
Victoria wanted to know the relationship between Jordan and Lauren.
If Jordan and Lauren were still husband and wife and Victoria was Lauren’s disciple, Jordan would become her master. It was a little hard to accept that the former lovers had become master and disciple.
Jordan shook his head. “Neither. We’re nothing now. We have nothing to do with each other.”
Victoria was very puzzled. “Is Lauren really going to separate from you? Actually, I could tell from her cold expression just now that Lauren is a goddess from another world. She has cultivated for 200 years and might already have a partner there. You were just someone she met by chance on a mission.
“Perhaps you think these few years are long for you, but for cultivators like them who have cultivated for hundreds of years, a few years is equivalent to a day for us Earthlings.”
Jordan smiled. “Are you saying that my relationship with Lauren over the past few years is equivalent to a one-night stand here?”
Victoria said, “Although her words are harsh, in her eyes, perhaps it’s really just a one-night stand. Jordan, don’t be too sad. You’re a person with ambition. No matter where you are, you’re destined to succeed. I believe that with your talent and ability, it won’t be long before you rule the other world. After you succeed, Lauren might return to your side. You should have confidence in yourself.
“Besides, Lauren is your wife. It’s not embarrassing to kneel down to your wife and acknowledge her as your master, right?”
Victoria thought that Jordan had knelt down to Lauren to acknowledge her as his master.
However, Jordan shook his head. “She doesn’t plan to take me away. I won’t have the chance to go to the Alternate World with her, nor will I have the chance to prove myself in that world.”
Jordan was also a very confident person. He could turn the Steeles from the lowest-ranking family among the eight great families to the strongest family. He could become the strongest among the mutants. He was also confident that he could become an overlord in that cultivation world!
However, Lauren did not give Jordan a chance!
Victoria was stunned. “What? She won’t bring you along? How is that possible? She was willing to bring me along and even Rong Bingshao, so how can she not bring you along?”
Jordan shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. Maybe it’s really as you said. She has a man there, so she doesn’t want to bring me there.”
After saying that, Jordan walked away without looking back.
Victoria looked at Jordan and suddenly felt that being too close to Lauren might not be a good thing.
After walking a few meters out of the hospital, Jordan was suddenly stopped by another familiar person.
It was Lionel.
Lionel was wearing a suit and had a serious expression. “Mr. Steele, can we have a chat in the car?”
Jordan said, “I’m not in the mood now. Look for me tomorrow.”
Lionel said, “Mr. Steele, it’s an emergency. Please understand. It won’t take up too much of your time.”
Jordan thought about it and followed Lionel into a black SUV at the side.
Jordan sat down in the back seat of the car. He thought that there would be someone else sitting in the car, but there was no one. However, there must be some remote equipment installed in the car.
After getting into the car, Lionel said, “Mr. Steele, this matter has really blown up. Although we tried our best to stop the five-colored golden light, it has still spread abroad. Now, all the governments, including the United States, Britain, Japan, Korea, and so on, are asking us to explain this situation. They are asking if we are privately developing some terrifying new weapon.
“The problem is that we don’t know where the five-colored golden light came from. Mr. Steele, you must have understood the ins and outs of the matter. Can you tell us?”
There were only Lionel and Jordan in the car, but Lionel had used a voice recorder. Jordan knew that many people could hear what he was saying now.
Jordan sighed and said, “This is very complicated. I really don’t know how to begin.”
Lionel said, “Did Miss Lauren do it?”
Jordan looked at Lionel, “Have you guessed it?”
Lionel said, “We asked the Howards and they told us about the situation in the hospital. Miss Lauren suddenly underwent a huge change. The Howards said that she seemed to have been possessed by someone and became another person. Is she the strongest mutant now? Is she a golden mutant? Is she a mutant stronger than a golden mutant?”
Jordan explained, “No, she’s not a mutant. She’s much stronger than us. The abilities of us mutants all come from her.”
Lionel was very surprised. “What? All the mutants’ abilities come from Miss Lauren? Then where did her abilities come from? From whom?”
Jordan shook his head. “I don’t know either.”
Lionel smiled awkwardly. “You’re Miss Lauren’s husband. Others might not know, but how can you not know?”
Jordan said, “No, I’m no longer Lauren’s husband. I’m… not worthy of her anymore.”
Lionel hesitated. “Mr. Steele…”
When Lionel saw Jordan come out just now, he looked very lonely. It turned out that Jordan had just been abandoned by Lauren!
Jordan said coldly, “I’ve told you everything I know. Contact me if you need anything else.”
As he spoke, Jordan opened the car door and got out.
Then he got Dragon to drive him to the villa. This was his and Lauren’s home.
Inside and outside the villa, it was still the same as before. As soon as Jordan entered, the nanny went forward and welcomed him with a smile, “Mr. Steele is back. How is Mrs. Steele? Did she give birth to a young lady or a young master? Are the mother and child well?”
