King's Back

Chapter 39 The Dragon God Scripture

When Jackson went back to the building, he saw the whole building went dark. And the gate had been locked.

Then, he heard a faint sound from upstairs, which was so weak that it was impossible for normal people to notice.

“Someone is going upstairs?”

Jackson frowned and he thought that it might be another assassin. Then he lunged forward and leaped high on the ground. Then he soared in the air and he managed to grab the frame of the window on second floor.

Then he pulled himself into the window. His action was so smooth and incredible that someone else might deem it as stunt.

When Jackson jumped into the building, he could hear the faint sound again from the corridor. He could tell from the faint sound that the assassin might have reached a high floor.

As the electricity supply had been cut off, the elevator was disabled. So he could only go up with stairs.

At the same time, Dolcie suddenly noticed that everything went dark in front of her. Only the light coming from outside the window could ease her nervousness a bit.

She actually had a foible in her daily life. She had a phobia against darkness. Even if when she needed to sleep, she would have to turn on a lamp on her bed side.

Even Jackson, who had been living with her for three years, was not aware of this secret of her.

Then Dolcie suddenly recalled that her secretary once told her that there would be an electrical maintenance at 9 o’clock in the evening. But she forgot about it because of her busy work.

The whole building was completely empty. Dolcie turned on the flashlight on her phone and started to walk out step by step.

The sounds of her high heels knocking on the ground kept echoing in the corridor. Dolcie felt her own heart beating faster and faster.

The dark end of the corridor looked like an abyss which seemed to drown her into the trap.

Dolcie swallowed hard while her heart almost jumped out of her throat. But her phone completely ran out of power at such critical moment.

She flopped down on the ground weakly.

Her hands touched the cold wall. Then she fumbled ahead. Above her, there was a sign of exit emitting greed light. She managed to walk to the staircase.

When she just opened the door of the staircase, she felt a gust of chilly wind came towards her face. The echo of wind in the staircase made her flinch.

Even a man might flinch when facing such horrible situation, let alone a woman.

What’s worse, Dolcie was afraid of darkness.

Dolcie stared at the dark stairs in front of her. She felt like having heavy iron on her feet. She did not dare walk downstairs.

It seemed that there was a monster hiding in the dark, waiting to prey on her.

Dolcie tried to calm herself down and managed to muster courage for her own. Then she tried to walk downstairs.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

And she kept complaining in her heart, ‘Damn you Jackson! Why you disappeared when I need you. Do you always claim that you would pick me up after work and sent me to work every day? ‘Men are all unreliable creature at critical moment!’

Though Jackson was a wimp from her point of view, at least he was a man. Dolcie would be less frightened if he could stay with her at this moment.

With her hands holding the handrail, Dolcie went downstairs step by step. She kept shivering because of cold wind coming from all directions.

Her face turned paled. She did not dare to look forward, nor did she look backwards. She could only fumble downstairs bit by bit. But the stairs seemed to be endless and she could never reach the end.

The broom placing on the corner looked like a frightening dead body put upside down, with his messy hair scattering on the ground.

With tears overwhelming in her eyes, Dolcie almost cried out. She had never been so helpless as today.

But at this moment, a trace of light appeared in front of her and a shadow flashed across her. And then that shadow fell into darkness again.

“Ah!”

Dolcie exclaimed and she turned to run upstairs out of fear.

“Dolcie, don’t worry! It is me, Jackson!”

Jackson said with a smile while picking his own ears.

Dolcie could not hold back her tears anymore. She felt like meeting her savior at this moment.

“Jackson? Is that you?” Dolcie stopped and kept asking anxiously.

“it’s me!” Jackson turned on the flashlight on his phone. He went upstairs. As he approached, Dolcie then finally saw clear his face.

At the moment when she saw Jackson’s face, she felt an urge to throw herself into his arms and cry hard. But she held back the urge and kept mumbling,

“Where the hell have you been? Who told you to come back?”

Jackson smiled, and he showed her the bowl of wonton noodles, “Well, I just went out to buy your dinner. I was worried that something bad might happen to you.”

“By the way, why the electricity was cut off?”

“It is under electric power overhaul.” Dolcie sighed.

But she still felt warm in her heart. It turned out that this man went to buy her dinner.

“Okay, let’s go downstairs. I will lead the way and illuminate the stairs for you.”

Jackson walked to the front with his back on Dolcie. They went downstairs together.

When they reached the parking lot, Jackson handed over the noodles to her and he sat on the driver’s seat.

Sitting in the back seat, Dolcie held the noodles and found that the noodles were still steaming. Looking at the back of Jackson, her face turned blushed, and mixed feelings overwhelmed her heart.

When they arrived home, Dolcie started to eat the noodles. Then she felt sleepy because of the busy work tonight. So she went upstairs to have a sleep in her room.

Jackson did not go to sleep. He just went back to his small room. Sitting on the bed, he started to adjust his own body.

This was the biggest secret hidden by Jackson. No one knew that he managed to form such a powerful group and united the four Blazing Angels and twelve Seraphs just with the help of a mysterious scripture, which was also his trump.

It was called the Dragon God Scripture.

Jackson got such a scripture by accident.

Many years ago, Jackson went abroad and served as a mercenary. Once upon a time, he was conducting a mission in the wild. He happened to see a skeleton of a Taoist priest in a cave located in a high mountain.

Jackson was still a young and callow lad at that time. So he mustered courage to get close to the skeleton.

He noticed that the finger of that skeleton pointed to somewhere not far away from him. Jackson rummaged through that corner and found a wooden box under the ground, where there kept a mysterious scroll.

The scroll was written with Sanskrit in vertical column.

He read through the scroll and found that it was a mysterious ancient immortal skill. Jackson was so excited. He kowtowed in front of the skeleton to show his respect and then left the cave.

Then, Jackson started to study and practice the Dragon God Scripture every day and he never had slackened.

Although he hadn’t reached the state named Qi Tuition defined by the Dragon God Scripture, he still felt his whole body being totally refreshed, including his power, speed. They had all reached the limit of human being.

Jackson sat on the bed cross-legged with his eyes closed. He drowned himself in meditation while repeating the words written on the Dragon God Scripture.

He felt a stream of warm flow running in his underbelly.
