Chapter 900 A Win-win Situation
Anderson hugged Clarissa tightly and said in a low voice, "Silly girl."
Reaching out her hands, she also wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tight.
Since they had made up their minds, they would not delay any longer.
What's more, Jara didn't give them too much time to consider.
Therefore, they would fly to Eflium early the next morning once they had made up their minds.
Jara's territory was situated at Eflium.
This location was in Santianz, and it was quite remote.
It was for this reason that it became Jara's territory.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Clarissa and Anderson arrived in Eflium.
In the summer, the scorching sun shone down on them, causing them to sweat excessively.
They noticed numerous men in black standing in front of them as soon as they stepped off the plane.
The group of men walked toward them as soon as they saw them.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. and Mrs. Jordan?"
Both of them nodded.
They immediately bent down and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
Since they were already here, they didn't have to worry about Jara playing tricks on them. As a result, they did not hesitate to follow them.
Besides the two of them, Nora also came along this time.
On the other hand, Anderson's assistant stayed to help manage the company's affairs.
After all, he couldn't solve any problems even if he followed.
They hadn't gone far when they came across a line of cars parked along the roadside.
Anderson and Clarissa got on the car under the escort of the group of men and headed straight to their destination.
About half an hour later, the car arrived at the magnificent and towering castle.
Although Clarissa and Jara had known each other for a long time, it was her first visit to this place. After all, Jara had always appeared as the boss of Lost Vanguard; thus, he would usually appear at the headquarters of Lost Vanguard and not take anyone here.
Later, the car came to a halt in front of a tall building after the group of men had inside.
When they got out of the car and looked up, they saw Jara standing at the entrance.
"Welcome to the Holland's castle."
Dressed in a black suit, he smiled slightly, looking handsome and unrestrained.
He'd look a lot better if he didn't have any dark circles under his eyes!
Anderson's lips curled into a smile as well. Although they used to be enemies, they were surprisingly peaceful when they met today.
He walked over and shook Jara's hand. Jara then took them straight into the living room.
With much reverence, the servants came up to serve tea.
Clarissa chuckled as she looked around. "I had no idea you had such a place! I would have sent my men here if I had known so I wouldn't be tricked by you."
Glancing at her indifferently, he responded, "My mom left this place for me."
Hearing this, Clarissa was stunned.
She didn't know Jara's background before, but she eventually learned that he was an illegitimate child of the Holland family.
In fact, she was very sorry for his life experience.
However, at this time, she naturally would not sympathize with him.
He didn't need sympathy, anyway.
So she took a step over to the sofa and sat down. She then got right to the topic, saying, "What do you have to say? And what exactly do you mean by cooperation?"
Jara did not find it surprising at all that she was so frank.
Therefore, he did not beat around the bush either. "Wait a minute."
After that, he went upstairs and soon returned with a stack of documents in his hand.
"Take a look at this first."
As he spoke, he handed the documents to them.
Anderson and Clarissa looked at it together.
It turned out to be a stack of information concerning a couple of jades.
She couldn't help but frown as she examined the documents. "What is this?"
"This is Jade of Heaven," Jara replied solemnly.
Clarissa's expression immediately changed as soon as he said that.
Even though she had not kept up with industry news in recent years, she had heard of Jade of Heaven.
Wasn't it a priceless relic that could bring people back to life and immortalize them?
Of course, Clarissa naturally didn't believe the legend.
In her opinion, there was no such thing as immortality in this world.
So when the rumor first surfaced, she paid little attention to it. Later, she instantly dismissed it as a scam and tucked it away.
How could she have expected Jara to bring it up again after all these years?
Anderson's expression had always remained cold as he flipped through the stack of documents. "You called us over this time for this?" he asked.
"To be honest, Jade of Heaven was the reason why something happened to Lost Vanguard back then," Jara remarked.
Then, he told Clarissa and Anderson about what happened four years ago at Salvation Club.
"At that time, the Icarus Association utilized the opportunity to stir up disputes," he continued, "and I always thought that this was the outcome of their later plans."
"But after a long time, I've discovered that many Salvation Club and Lost Vanguard members were members of the Icarus Association."
"They disguised themselves by changing their names and hiding their true identities. They've been hiding in different organizations, waiting for the right opportunity to incite chaos and then defeat them one by one."
"Aside from the Sapphire family, the Icarus Association has the most power. I studied the information of the group of killers the last time something happened to Clarissa, and they are also from the Icarus Association."
Upon hearing this, Clarissa narrowed her eyes.
Her face turned cold all of a sudden.
"What? They are part of the Icarus Association too?"
Jara nodded his head.
"But why? I don't recall having a grudge with them."
Then Jara sneered.
"As long as you get in their way, they will deal with you."
As he said that, he paused again.
"They've recently set their targets on Ascijan, and the Jordan Family is the greatest obstacle to them uniting their forces in Ascijan. Now, you should know why they want to deal with you."
Clarissa's face changed.
Immediately, she began to recall a series of events, which she quickly deduced.
"So the reason you asked us to come here this time is to let us deal with them together?" she questioned.
Jara nodded his head.
Then, he told them that Emmeline went missing.
"They still have Emmeline in their hands. Although I'm not sure why they caught her, it's basically the same as attempting to kill Clarissa. So I called you here to devise a countermeasure to thwart their scheme."
For a moment, Clarissa and Anderson both fell silent.
