All Chapters of Dragon King's Hall: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sitting on the leather couch in the office, Jeanne sipped on the black tea that Yulia’s secretary, Naomi Lewis, had brewed. Known to break down and get rid of tummy fat, this was a tea widely enjoyed by females. At the same time, Naomi had also done a background check of Jeanne Rivers and placed a document containing the info before Yulia. Jeanne Rivers, twenty-three years old. She was champion of the Provincial Female Martial Arts at the age of eighteen, then enlisted herself in the military and joined the Female Special Forces. Being deployed on seventeen missions over five years, she had been awarded the Merit of First Order twice, of Second Order five times, and of Third Order once. Jeanne was also well-versed in the art of Chinese kickboxing, freestyle fighting, counter terrorism and peacekeeping. Honorably discharged five years later, Jeanne Rivers applied to be a female bodyguard, and had made a name for herself within the short span of a month, mainly taking jobs that requi

“We can take my car.” Jeanne Rivers spoke up, clicking a button on her car keys which prompted a Volkswagen Jetta to beep twice. Seeing the disdainful gaze Yulia Yates shot at her, Jeanne Rivers smiled. “I take it this is the person you told me about, President Yates?” “Yeah.” Yulia Yates nodded. At that moment, Yakov had already seated himself comfortably at the back seat of Jeanne’s Jetta. “Let’s go, President Yates. Let’s take a look at your house.” Jeanne beckoned Yulia with a wave of her hand. There was nothing much Yulia Yates could do but hop on into the passenger seat of Jeanne’s car. Then, she adjusted the seat and nudged it as upfront as she could so to maximize the distance between her Yakov. If Yakov had felt Yulia’s hostility, he did not comment on it. He continued to smile and talk to Jeanne Rivers as if nothing was wrong, asking her if she was a new employee for he had never met someone like her before at the company. While Jeanne was aware of the reason behi

With both his legs broken, the man fell kneeling on the floor, and his arms hung limply next to him. The smug grin on his face had turned into fear. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Yakov noticed a faint tattoo on the back of the person's neck. He furrowed his brows. "A Nightfall assassin? Who sent you?" The man in the suit gulped hard when he heard Yakov mention 'Nightfall'. Not many people could mention that name so casually. "You know about Nightfall!" His eyes opened wide. "What about it?" Yakov retorted, "Tell me who sent you, and I'll allow you to die with dignity." "Ha, hahaha!" The man in the suit took a deep breath and laughed. "If you know about Nightfall, then you should also know that Nightfall assassins will not divulge their clients' identities, even when faced with the threat of death!" Yakov tilted his head and thought for two seconds. "Right, you have rules to follow. Looking at your tattoo, you must be one of the Thirteen Children of the Night. I've he

Matron Culver, with her head full of silvery-white hair, also smiled when she saw Yakov. "That boy has been calling me on the phone for the past few years. He told me that he had been a waiter, a masseur, and even an electrician. He's been through a lot in the past few years." "Really?" Rachel watched as Yakov was surrounded by the children from the orphanage. He occasionally would carry a child in his arms and lift them high. As the children laughed happily, so did he. The noisy sound of engines interrupted the wholesome scene. Three Mercedes Benz G63s with consecutive plate numbers stopped at the entrance of the orphanage. Three people came out of each of those vehicles. There were males dressed in business suits and leather shoes, as well as females dressed in expensive clothes. They seemed to be in their thirties. The people started surveying the orphanage after they got out of their cars. One of the females who looked like a secretary took out some blueprints and pointed at

Rachel organized her thoughts and briefly explained to Yakov how the developers wanted to demolish the orphanage and build a holiday resort there. She also mentioned that the developers had far greater financial resources than her company. They were only slightly lesser than Zircon Enterprises, the second biggest corporation in Yin Prefecture. Rachel could never hope to stop them if they insisted on demolishing the orphanage. Just as Rachel finished speaking, she noticed that Yakov was drawing something on the ground. Her view was blocked by Yakov's back, and so she stepped around him. Her eyes opened wide when she saw what Yakov was drawing. While she was explaining about the problem earlier, Yakov had used a stone to draw a map of the area surrounding the orphanage onto the cement floor, including all major and minor transportation routes that led into the urban areas. Someone who lived at the same place for their entire lives might not even have been able to remember the layou
