Chapter 976: Taking In The Piers
To Jordan, the Piers were just like a herd of sheep trying to besiege a giant wolf. They didn’t pose any threat to him at all!
Jordan put all his weight on his toes and stepped hard on the floor before leaping straight towards the ‘sheep’ in front of him like an arrow leaving its bow!
With a raise of his hand and a lift of his foot, Jordan accurately struck the experts working for the Piers.
His movements were so swift that the experts of the Piers could barely catch him before they felt a sharp and excruciating pain in their bodies and were kicked away in a daze.
“Ah!”
“Waahhh!”
“Argh!”
“Ah! M-my wrist!”
…
For a while, the shrieks of pain resounded throughout the entire funeral hall.
Their voices were extremely terrifying to the Piers and the Williams.
They didn’t expect the situation to be so exaggeratedly one-sided!
Their experts didn’t even manage to touch a corner of Jordan’s clothes, yet they were screaming and shrieking one after another as Jordan dealt with them swiftly like a bulldozer!

But out of consideration of Lucas’s rule for him not to kill anyone easily, Jordan showed some mercy and spared their lives.
Besides, Jordan was still trying to come up with an idea to make Derek incredibly infuriated, so he didn’t use much force this time. Yet it was already enough to make these experts lose their ability to fight. He had merely dislocated their joints without breaking their bones.
But in just a minute or so, these people who had surrounded Jordan were all knocked to the floor and were wailing incessantly!
Although they were also experts and would not easily cry out in pain, the pain of having their joints disconnected was beyond the threshold of ordinary people.
Jordan stood in the middle of the people who collapsed on the floor and were shrieking in pain. He then said something that shocked everyone, “If you surrender now and defect to the Howards, I can spare your lives! Otherwise, all of you will die here!”
If he had said this earlier, none of the Piers would believe him, and everyone would just think that he was talking big.
But now, in less than two minutes, Jordan had already disconnected the joints on the limbs of the nearly thirty experts of the Piers, rendering them temporarily unable to fight. They had no choice but to reevaluate Jordan’s true abilities.
In fact, they all knew clearly that Jordan could easily kill them or cripple them if he wanted to because even though there were lots of them, there was no way they could defeat him!
Many of them had charged toward Jordan at the same time during the battle just now, but they couldn’t even touch his clothes. It just went to show that Jordan was far more powerful than them, and they were fundamentally worlds apart!
It was just like a bunch of kindergarten children besieging an adult. Even though there were many of them, they were still no match for an adult!
Besides, Jordan didn’t kill them, nor did he inflict a fatal injury on any of them. He had merely disconnected their joints to stop them, which was enough to show that his intention was to make them defect to the Howards.
The nearly thirty experts looked at one another and saw the obvious fear in their eyes.
What else could they do in the face of such overwhelming power?
If they didn’t do as Jordan said and pledged their allegiance to the Howards, he would undoubtedly kill all of them!
Derek looked incredibly sullen now.
He was hopping mad that Jordan was openly poaching the experts of the Piers right in front of him!
“Since you people work for the Piers, you will always belong to us! If you dare to defect to the Howards, I will definitely not spare you! Do you hear me?” Derek hollered furiously.
Although these people had already had their limbs disconnected and had temporarily lost their ability to fight, they would still continue being powerful experts as long as their joints were reconnected and they were allowed to rest for a few days.
Besides, the 30 or so people he brought today were all of the Piers’ elite subordinates, which were a powerful force for the family. He would never let them end up in the Howards’ hands!
Derek would never allow them to defect to the Howards!
He would rather have all of them die here than allow the Howards to increase their power!
After Florence froze for a second, she immediately realized that what Jordan said was a great opportunity for the Howards!
Although these 30 or so people couldn’t take Jordan’s blows at all, they were still true experts whose strength was similar to the men in black who were her subordinates. If the Howards could get them to join, it would be a huge fortune for the family!
Thus, Florence immediately said to the Piers’ experts with disconnected joints. “I know that you’re stuck in a dilemma now, and the Piers don’t want you to join us. In fact, they’d rather all of you die here than to see you join the Howards.
“But do you guys really just want to die here?
“With your strength, you definitely can’t kill Jordan, not to mention that you now have your joints disconnected and have lost your ability to fight. If he really wants to kill you, there’s no way you’ll be able to escape death. Even Derek can’t save you!”
“But you should give it some thorough consideration. Why don’t you just join the Howards?! I can guarantee you that if you surrender to us, I will not only protect you from death but also give you high monetary rewards!”
Without a doubt, Florence’s words tempted these experts further.
In the face of life and death, no one would want to die, not to mention that Florence could provide them with high monetary rewards. Anyone would want to choose this.
But the experts of the Piers looked at each other for a few moments, not daring to step forward and express their intention to join the Howards.
Seeing this, Florence said straightforwardly, “In that case, the first person who joins the Howards will be given a reward of four million dollars. The second will be given two million, the third will be given one million, and the rest of you will get two hundred thousand each!”
As soon as Florence finished, someone immediately shouted impatiently, “Me! I want to join the Howards!”
A reward of four million dollars was a massive amount that was more than their total income for the past few years!
“I’ll join the Howards too!”
“Me too! I’ll join the Howards!”
“And me!”
…
Right after the first person took his stand, the remaining twenty or so people also spoke up in unison and decided to join the Howards.
But some of them were a few seconds too late and failed to be among the first three to pledge allegiance, so they missed out on a large amount of money, making them immediately chagrined.
Seeing this, the Howards grinned widely with joy. If the family could get these elite experts to join them, their combat power would be greatly enhanced.
In contrast to the Howards’ joy, Derek was so furious that he was clenching his fists tightly and trembling violently.
