"Grandpa, in fact, for me in the twenty-one years, I just want to live well, study hard. When I am
capable, when I become strong and have the ability, I will stay with mom and brother and give them the
best life. I really didn't think about anything else, and I didn't have time to think about it either. However,
when I married into the Lan family, I saw my father and his family were fighting against each other. To
achieve their goals, they even gave up their own son. I really felt that life was so tough. I don't
understand. Even if we give them the whole world and let them be the king who can rule the world, at
last, they lost all their family members, lovers, friends and their lives will lose warmth. People around
them fight, intrigue and full of conspiracy. Is this a good life for them?"
Maybe Jessie was too simple without ambition. Just thinking about living in the struggle every day and
thinking about how to rob others' things every day would make her feels very tired.
She had no wish in her life. She just wanted to live a peaceful and happy life.
Even if it's a simple meal, it's good.
However, she could never get rid of that kind of life she hated.
Ken didn't say a word. He just leaned against the deck chair, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
People always said that Jessie was cleverer than others and he had seen that before, but he didn't
expect that she could see through everything.
Perhaps it was because she had no impure thoughts or greed of human nature, the world she knew
was so simple and pure.
It was easy to satisfy Jessie's wish. But Ken didn't plan to do that so soon.
She wanted a simple life. It was okay.
But she couldn't be with Mark at all.
Because, as he could see, not only the result of Mark, but also the sad look of Jessie. Therefore, in
order to reduce her pain in the future, he had to be the bad guy.
"Jessie, I know what you want to say, but people are born with their destined mission. Since you are my
granddaughter, you can't just live as you want. If you don't want to face them, I can promise you that I
will let you live a peaceful life. But I can't guarantee that there is no one behind who will do something
to you just because you are my granddaughter."
In other words, there were many things that couldn't be done as she wished.
People, as long as they lived in the world, would have no choice.
Especially her.
Jessie looked at Ken and said nothing.
She understood what Ken meant. Anyway, in a word, she couldn't get rid of such a life no matter
whether she left or stayed.
Since the fact was settled, Jessie thought it was meaningless for her to stay here. She wanted to ask
Ken to let her go. But now it seemed that it was not necessary. She stood up and said, "Grandpa, have
a good rest. I'm a little sleepy and I'll go to bed now."
Ken answered yes. Jessie bit her lips and went back to her room.

Things were going smoothly in Eastern Europe, Middle East, and even in Ken's company. However, not
a sign of happiness could be heard from Mark and others.
"Mark, do you think there is something wrong with those people? We have destroyed several of their
branches and domains, but they did not do anything to us. It doesn't make sense." John had a strange
feeling about it. Ordinarily, it was a common thing for a branch to be blown up, but their domain had
been occupied and they didn't fight back. Did they admit defeat?
If the situation continued, they could eliminate the Crimson Dragon Society directly.
John wasn't the only one who felt strange. The other three also felt that the whole thing was odd.
According to the Crimson Dragon Society's rules in the past, it would be better if someone didn't
provoke them. Once someone provoked them, even if someone only stepped on their tail, they would
fight back thoroughly. But this time, they did not move at all. It was so weird.
Unless they were planning something.
"Jeffery, do you know what they are planning?" Mark guessed boldly: "Have you checked our base in
Siberia? Will they place their goal there?"
"Siberia?" They were stunned for a while. Why didn't they think of this before? The W Base was
located in a remote island in Siberia. It was so mysterious that people couldn't even find it by satellite
map, but it didn't mean that they were not able to find it out.
The island was their research base. If they were destroyed, their whole organization would be at risk of
being exterminated.
"Mark, do you think they can find that island?" John asked. They only went to the island once a year. If
someone hadn't been guided to the island, they couldn't find it even if they went there.
After all, it had thousands of islands in the same size and looked same to people unfamiliar with them.
But Mark didn't reply. He wasn't sure if they could find it, nor could he deny that they couldn't.
After all, the Crimson Dragon Society was also a very powerful one. In recent years, they had been
preying on other organizations like the Eagle. He could not estimate their current strength.
Of course, he hoped that it was only his personal guess, but since he had such a guess, he could not
pretend to see nothing and know nothing.
It was always wise to play safe.
"Jeffery, I'm worried about it. You and Nick go to Siberia and check it out. We have robbed him of so
many domains and arms. He won't let us go."
"Okay." Jeffery agreed. In fact, he was also worried about it. After all, the island was the core of their
organization under their leadership. If there was something wrong happened there, they could not
afford the consequence. The best result was to make sure it was safe and secure.
"By the way, when are you going to save Jessie?" Asked Jeffery.
They had tracked down the GPS station and was sure that the call was actually from the villa of Ken.
What's more, they also understood why Jessie planted those flowers in the garden. She was telling
them not to go there because it was dangerous.
But, how could they give up saving her?
Of course, they would go, but they had to figure out a way to get there.
All of them turned to look at Mark. Mark was leaning back on the couch, with his slender fingers
constantly tapping on the arm of the couch, looking as if deep in thought.
After a while, he said, "Ask Rachel to meet with Lawrence and figure out what he wants to do."
"Rachel?" They were all shocked.
"Yes. Since Lawrence had known that Ken was his enemy, if he was still a man, he would not leave his
family alone and make friends with his enemy. As long as he wanted to take revenge, Rachel could
trade with him. By that time, we can cooperate with each other from inside to outside and catch Ken off
guard."
