Chapter 1071 Real Deal
She quietly sat beside Clarissa.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the next room, Anderson, Jara, and Emmeline were sitting on the sofa in the room. It was complete silence.
It took a long time for Jara to take the initiative to break the silence.
Staring at Anderson coldly, Jara asked, "What did Coby mean just now? Anderson, shouldn't you explain it to us?"
In response, Anderson glanced at them. At this point, he understood that no matter how much he tried to hide it, it was of no use.
In the end, he could only sigh silently.
"I will admit that the other three pieces of the Jade of Heaven are indeed in my hands."
As soon as the words came out, Jara and Emmeline were shocked.
In an instant, Jara's expression changed. Subconsciously, he stood up but was pulled by Emmeline.
Emmeline looked at Anderson and asked, "Why? I know that you have your reasons, but at least you should give us an explanation. For all this while, we've been looking for the Jade of Heaven all around the world. You obviously have something on your hand, but you didn't say anything. You just watched us being buzzing around like a headless chicken. Isn't it very disappointing?"
In a deep voice, Anderson replied, "For this, it is really my bad. But have you ever wondered why Coby was so anxious to find all twelve pieces of the Jade of Heaven?"
Upon hearing that, both of them were stunned.
In fact, they still didn't know why Coby was in such a hurry to find it.
So both of them looked at Anderson blankly.
Anderson continued. "Since you don't know, then why don't I tell you a story?"
Therefore, he told them the story of Coby and Cara.
When Jara and Emmeline heard the story, they were shocked. They didn't expect such a thing to exist in this world.
Shaking his head, Jara said in disbelief, "Is he really a thousand years old?"
Anderson nodded.
"Back then, I didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world, too, but it happened right in front of my eyes."
"To tell you the truth, although I am the president of Jordan Group on the surface, I am also the person in charge of the Thunderstriders."
Thunderstriders?
As soon as he finished his words, Jara was shocked.
Others might not know about the organization, but he did.
There was no specific reason for it. It was mainly because he was now the person in charge of the Holland family.
Although the top four families in Ascijan were known for their expertise in different fields, most of their information was shared.
Despite the fact that he had never seen anyone from the Thunderstriders, he had heard about it. He didn't expect that Anderson was actually one of them.
At this point, he suddenly understood something, so he asked, "So you've been chasing after Coby?"
In response, Anderson nodded.
"I have made it clear to you the origin of the Jade of Heaven. The reason why he wants to collect all twelve pieces of the jades is that he wants to put the stones back together so he can bring Cara back to life."
"However, in order to revive Cara, do you all know what kind of place he needs to go to put the stones back together?"
Upon hearing the question, Jara and Emmeline shook their heads.
Anderson answered in a deep voice, "The place where the meteorite landed back then. The place where the nuclear radiation came from."
Again, both of them were shocked.
Then, Anderson continued, "When the meteorite landed, it created a huge amount of nuclear radiation. The people there were all affected by the radiation. They were either sick or had left that place."
"This time, if he took twelve pieces of the Jade of Heaven there and successfully restart the spaceship, it will cause a change in the magnetic field, which will result in the release of nuclear radiation that was previously sealed. By then, how many innocent people will be affected? Perhaps the normality of the world will undergo a tremendous change because of this."
"So when we realized his purpose, we immediately sent our people to stop him. However, he's a sly old fox. I have been chasing him for so many years, but I've never succeeded."
"When I seized the three pieces of Jade of Heaven, I had always kept them by my side. Coby is very capable, and he is especially good at bewitching people. Hence, if these jades landed on someone else's hand, we cannot guarantee that it will not be lost."
He was so good at talking that most people would believe in what he said.
Although Jara and Emmeline were surprised, after hearing his explanation, they were able to figure out things that they were confused about before.
Frowning, Emmeline asked in a low voice, "In that case, we can't let him get hold of the Jade of Heaven. But, he is threatening us with Clarissa now. What should we do?"
"We can only act according to circumstances."
Since they made the deal, there was no other way.
Soon, they heard someone talking loudly outside.
Because they were too far away and there were several walls between them, Jara and the others couldn't hear what the people outside were talking about at all.
But if they were to make a rough guess, the person sent by Anderson must have come back.
As expected, someone came in shortly after that.
"Follow me!"
A few burly men pulled the three of them out. As soon as they went out, they saw a lot of people standing in the yard outside. Coby was standing near the entrance, and he seemed to be talking to them.
Seeing them being brought out, Coby smiled ambiguously.
"Now that they're here, can you hand them to me already?"
At this point, Coby had completely revealed his true colors and he no longer concealed his desire for the Jade of Heaven.
The faces of the people standing in the courtyard changed slightly as they looked at Anderson.
Just as they were hesitating about what to do, Anderson asked in a low voice, "Where are Clarissa and her mother?"
Hearing that, Coby raised his brows.
"What? Are you afraid that I won't let them go after taking the items? My target is the Jade of Heaven. Both of them are useless to me. As long as I get hold of the jades and confirm that they are real, I will naturally let them go."
In response, Anderson sneered.
"How do I know that you're a man of your words?"
Upon hearing the question, Coby thought about it, and he seemed to be seriously considering his question.
After a long while, he finally suggested. "How about I ask someone to take them here, and we can exchange them at the same time? However, I will have to make sure the jades are real before I let them go. How about that?"
Anderson was silent for a moment before replying, "Okay."
Then, Coby gave orders to his subordinates. Soon, Clarissa and Sierra were brought downstairs.
When Clarissa saw Anderson, her face was a little pale.
On the other hand, Anderson looked at her with concern, making sure that she was not hurt. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Again, Coby stretched out his hand.
"Can you give them to me now?"
