The greatest characteristic of laser weapons was their extremely fast speed. It could shoot at the speed of light. The efficiency was really too high. It was five to 10 times faster than the super high-frequency weapons that had been developed previously.
Therefore, Phoenix did not hesitate to escape. He grabbed Jamie and jumped from the warship into the sea.
John’s laser weapon was useless now that they were in the water. Its attack power and range were limited.
John ordered his man. “Activate the deep water explosives! Blow up that audacious Jamie!”
In the water.
As soon as they jumped into the sea, an “underwater device” automatically popped up on Jamie and Phoenix’s bodies. Not only could this device allow them to move more quickly in the water, but they could also use it to communicate with each other.
Phoenix said, “Master, I’m bleeding. I can’t be with you. Otherwise, they will find us by following my blood. You go first!”
Jamie couldn’t bear it. He was afraid that Phoenix would die here, but at such a critical moment, it wasn’t the time to be soft-hearted.
“Damn John! It’s my fault for being careless! Phoenix, be careful!”
With that, Jamie sped up and left. He couldn’t stay in the water forever. He had to go ashore quickly. John saw him jump into the sea and would definitely attack the waters. Therefore, it was very unsafe to remain in the waters.
Jamie soon surfaced and boarded his Zephyr Two as quickly as possible!
“Lord Addington, Jamie has boarded his plane!”
The Addington family subordinates were about to attack the surrounding waters when they realized that Jamie had already surfaced.
John smiled. “Jamie, you wanted to know what kind of weapon my cannon is? I’ll let you experience it now. Men, aim at Jamie’s plane and shoot that lousy aircraft down!”
“Yes!”
His men immediately scanned the area. Before launching, they asked John for instructions. “Sir, we have locked onto the target. It will be within our range in the next nine seconds! Please authorize the launch!”
This laser cannon was extremely powerful. Every shot, even during drills, required John’s personal authorization.
John took his time. He walked over and placed his palm on it for fingerprint verification.
“Fire!”
John cried out.
Bang!
The moment John issued the command, a green light instantly attacked Jamie’s Zephyr Two and broke one of its “wings”!
With its wing broken, Zephyr Two lost its ability to fly. It instantly fell to the bottom of the sea.
Soon after, John captured Jamie.
John did not kill Jamie after capturing him. Instead, he used him to lure Jordan over!
John was delighted after his call to Jordan. “Hehe, Jordan, if I get rid of you, Chairman Rong will be very pleased with me. He will definitely share more of their family’s secrets with me, and give my family more benefits and support.”
Meanwhile, Jamie, who was tied up at the side, spat on John’s pants. “Pfft! You’re the dignified head of the Addington family, but you’re willing to be the lackey of the Rong family! If you have the guts, go and challenge my younger brother openly. Don’t use such despicable methods!”
John glanced at the spit on his pants and was very angry. “Men, break one of his fingers!”
John snorted. “Ignorant, arrogant trash of the Steele family! You have no idea how powerful the Rong family is! You can’t even deal with me, yet you dare to spout nonsense and look down on Chairman Rong? You’re frogs at the bottom of a well!
“If the Steeles were worthy enough to be privy to this, you would have known that Chairman Rong’s research is at a heaven-defying level! It’s on a completely different level than the rest of us! Jamie, I will offer the deaths of you and your brother as a gift to Chairman Rong!”
…
A small, remote town in the US.
Shaun happened to be beside Jordan when he answered the call. Seeing Jordan’s expression change, he immediately asked, “Jordan, who called you? I heard you say that it’s John Addington? Why are you still in contact with this old thing?”
Jordan was expressionless. “John Addington captured Jamie!”
“What?”
Shaun was speechless. It had not been an easy task to finally have Jordan stay here in peace for a month to concentrate on the research. There had been a huge improvement in the mind-transplant technology, but there was still a long way to go before complete success.
But now, something had happened to Jamie. Needless to say, Jordan would definitely leave this place again.
Shaun was dumbfounded. “It must be Jamie who took the initiative to provoke John Addington. And now, he has been captured. Wouldn’t it be better if he just stayed hidden like a good boy? Why does he have to cause trouble everywhere? His target is the Addington family. He really knows how to pick them. The Addington family is behind only the Rong and Geng families!”
Jordan didn’t blame Jamie. “Back then, when Grandpa passed away and the other families controlled the Steeles. Jamie and I made the choice to leave our family and rely on our own strength to reclaim everything. If he was a cowardly person who only wanted to live a comfortable life, he would have chosen to obey the other families like Jesse. Now that he has fallen into John’s hands. I have to save him!”
Jamie had helped Jordan a lot in the past. He was the one who introduced Jordan to his two wives. It was also Jamie who told Jordan the secrets of the family.
Shaun thought for a moment and smiled. “Are we going to merge again?”
The combination of Jordan and Shaun was an invincible existence!
But at this moment, Dragon suddenly sent a video call invitation. Jordan quickly answered it.
Dragon wasn’t the only one in the video call. It was a three-way call with Jamie’s subordinate Phoenix!
Dragon said, “Phoenix contacted me just now. He has something to ask of Master.”
Phoenix appeared to be injured and drenched. He bowed to Jordan. “Greetings, Mr. Jordan!”
Jordan hurriedly said, “Phoenix, we’re all family. There’s no need to be so formal. Where are you?”
Phoenix cried out. “I’m in the Straits of Gibraltar. Master Jamie has been captured by the Addington family. Please save him!”
Jordan replied, “I already know about this. I’m preparing now to go save him.”
Phoenix was very touched. “Thank you, Mr. Jordan! However, the Addington family has laser weapons. You have to protect yourself well. It’s best if you can find a fighter plane that is hardier than Zephyr Three. Master Jamie’s Zephyr Two was destroyed by Addington’s laser cannon.”
