Chapter 270 Who Are You?
"Can I get the guy that you are holding?" Jack looked towards the stunned Olivia as he asked.
Olivia finally came back to her senses. She stared at Jack for a while before she spoke. "Thank you for saving me." As she said that, she looked at the dead bodies of her colleagues and couldn't help but feel remorseful.
She wasn't an idiot. She knew that if Jack had not appeared, with more than three snipers present, there was no way that she was going to escape from here alive.
Furthermore, he was the one that had given her the body strengthening solution that had boosted her abilities by more than a single fold. It was only due to this that she had managed to deal with the six that had been attacking them from behind.
But then, there was something that she couldn't understand. What was the relationship between Jack and Nathan?
At the thought of Nathan, she glared at Nathan as he was the cause of all the deaths that had occurred in this place. Had he not have gotten the people to rescue him, then, there would have been no deaths as they would have successfully managed to get him to prison.
But, she was surprised when she saw the stunned expression that was on Nathan's face as he looked at Jack who was in front of him. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
This surprised her the most. After all, even when the rain of bullets was being exchanged, Nathan didn't seem scared at all. It was as if he believed that there was no way that a bullet would mistakenly land on him.
But in the presence of Jack, this brave guy was actually scared? Olivia was greatly surprised that even her anger went down a notch.
But even then, who was Jack? This was a person that had the body strengthening solution that could improve the strength of a person. This was something magical in the current world.
"Ahem! Are you there?" Jack saw that the two seemed lost in thoughts and couldn't help but try garnering their attention.
He knew that there were several police officers that were coming as a form of backup and they were supposed to be there in about three minutes.
Although he had a military badge, that didn't mean that he was ready to start an argument with the police that would be coming over.
Olivia wanted to ask something but was cut short by Nathan. "Jack, what are you doing here?"
He knew all too well that, if Jack had not appeared, the 'weaklings' that had been sent over to rescue him wouldn't have been killed off. By now, he would have been a free man.
He had seen Jack and had known by now that, Jack had skills or had a group of people that were skilled in terms of information.
But, the thing that was unexpected to him was the fact that, Jack was this skilled when it came to the usage of guns. He had come to a face-to-face confrontation with five armed men but he had killed them off easily.
"What are you expecting? That I would let my 'uncle' simply disappear? I had to do something. After all, we still have some unfinished business, don't we?" Jack spoke. He made sure to emphasize on the word uncle, though he wasn't even serous about the relationship that they shared.
Olivia's eyes narrowed at the mention of the relationship between Jack and Nathan. But then, she managed to notice that, although the two of them were related, it didn't seem that they were in a good relationship at all.
Nathan felt his lips twitching at the mention of the fact that they had a business that had yet to be taken care of. He of course knew what Jack was talking about. Since he was capable of knowing that he had done a lot to get to the position that he was in before Jack exposed it, he wouldn't be surprised if Jack actually knew that he was the one that was involved with the murder of Anne.
After thinking for a while, the fear that was inside Nathan's heart dispersed. "I'm sorry but I don't think that there is something that you are supposed to do to me. at the end of the day, I have already been sentenced by the court and I'm supposed to be taken to prison now."
That was something that had given him the confidence. He was sure thar Jack would not lay a hand on him considering that there was Olivia at the scene. He believed that she wouldn't allow Jack to have his way with her, the representative of the law enforcement.
Jack ignored what Nathan had said as he looked at Olivia. He wanted to get her opinion on the matter. But all the same, he was going to take Nathan with him whether she liked it or not.
Seeing Jack's gaze, Olivia knew that Jack was waiting for her response on the matter. She thought about it for a while before she asked, "Who are you really, Jack?" This was not the first time that she had heard Jack's name.
She was curious about this person that was covered in a cloud of mystery. She had tried looking for him but she ended up finding nothing in the end. It was as if he never existed before. That was something that no ordinary man could achieve, to hide his information from all the connections that she had.
"I guess that I'm just an ordinary man. As you can see, other than my personality, there is no difference between me and the other men." Jack spread his arms as he responded. He didn't think that he was obliged to answering any of her questions at all.
Olivia frowned at his response. But when she thought about t carefully, a person that had hidden the information about himself, how could such a person be willing to give out that information to others simply because they had asked him?
"Alright, if you cannot tell me about your identity, then I have a request to make. Can you take me in so that you can train me in terms of combat? I'll pay for it." Since Jack was in front of her, Olivia decided to use this chance to ask for what she had been looking for Jack all along.
Jack at first thought that she was joking. But when he saw the burning passion in her eyes, he was stunned for a while. In the end, he shook his head. "I'm sorry but I don't really have time to spare to train you. What's more, I don't lack money at all."
Jack was getting impatient as the time wasn't on his side considering that the police backup that had been sent was going to be there soon.
Olivia pursed her lips at Jack's response. But, she wasn't willing to give up on the training. She had actually been looking for Jack all this while because she wanted him to train her. So, how could she simply give up that easily? That was something that wasn't going to happen, no matter what.
She took a deep breathe before she finally asked, "What do you want in return to training me?" She was willing to pay a huge price to get Jack to train her. But of course, there was a limit to what she could offer to Jack for the training.
Jack saw that the lady was determined to get him to train her. It wasn't that he couldn't train her. It was just that, he wasn't interested in this. At the end of the day, there was nothing that he was going to gain from training her other than spending his time that he could have used to be together with Celine.
Without further ado, he stepped forward to grab Nathan so that he could get on his way. But then, Olivia stepped in front of him, preventing him from reaching Nathan.
She could tell that Jack had no interest in what she had to offer. If he didn't lack money, he didn't lack beauty and neither did he lack skills, there seemed that there was actually nothing that she could give to him at the moment.
But, she was completely unwilling to let go of Jack that easily. She had to make sure that he trained her even if it was only for a while.
Jack frowned when she acted like that. Although he was being polite with her, that didn't mean that he was actually going to joke with her when it came to serious matters.
"If you are not going to accept training me, then, I'm not going to let you take him away from here." Olivia stated determinedly. Her heart was beating faster, not sure on what Jack was going to do next if she blocked his interests.
She knew that she was being ungrateful, but she had no choice at all. This was the only way that she was going to get Jack to train her. Since that was the case, she might go ahead and be shameless here.
But the next moment, she was stunned when she saw something. She couldn't utter a word as she didn't have any that she could say at that moment at all. Her heart raced as she was in complete disbelief, while at the same time, the hope that was in her eyes was shattered.
At this point, Nathan who was standing behind Olivia couldn't help it at all but speak. "Children nowadays. They can actually ignore their seniors while they continue flirting with each other. They have no shame at all."
