Chapter 139 - Now You Have Crossed My Bottom Line

" What made you think so?"

Jordan smiled and showed Alex a scroll in which a message was scribbled out.

" Beware, the three leaders of the black world have reached and clawed their ideas to the chief commander."

Alex read the scroll and was bewildered for sometime, he could say that the dark world was supporting the Agnartic clan in the past but after they stopped it as their involvement was known by the other clan elders. As for now why suddenly they thought of taking action put Alex in a deep dilemma.

"The Dark world leaders might have found a new master and it was him who might have instructed them to act against us but who could be the new master?"

Jordan was surprised that Alex's train of thoughts was really different from any other person. He also hadn't thought of such a situation which can be probably true. Along with the appearance of Demetrick, the trace of the sorceress had been found out but last time Emmy's violent attack made him so injured that he won't be able to make this quick recovery, then who could be it?

The next day, the war began, Jordan, Alex and Mike did not take any action but Houlson along with Leon wiped out one-third of the opposition army. Their rage was doubled when they came to know about the shadow existence of the Dark world leaders behind the Agnartic  clan.

Mike was looking at the heroic Demar brothers cutting into the Agnartian army and he commented, " Whoah, I never thought these two had such combat power, if this is the case then we may not even need to take part in it."

Although the battlezone was in favor of the Esbertrazian army, Jordan and Alex knew that things were not going to be that simple. Jordan felt that Dagardian army trained under Denzell was waiting for an opportunity to backstab them and suddenly he thought of a possibility.

" Mike , quickly go back and ask father-in-law to return. I bet that Denzell is going to play foul this time."

Jordan's tone was very serious and Mike, after getting confirmation from Alex, just left the scene without anyone else noticing. Now in the campside, only Jordan and Alex were left as right and left commanders with soldiers less than fifty.

When the brothers thought that Mike's departure was only known to them, they made their terrible mistake. A depraving pair of eyes were looking straight at Alex, her calculations were going correctly and what she wanted took place in the first place itself.

" Ask the chief commander to get his hurted pride back, make sure that Jordan should never see the next sunrise."

Talsha issued the command to the leaders and smiled wickedly. The leaders soon left the place to make necessary arrangements.

"Soon you will be my king, Alexandrian."

...........................….

At the Esbertrazian clan, Kiara was under the care of Eliza and Juliet whereas Emmy left to her home at cliffhouse. She made a random excuse that she needs to take some things from her place. No one was suspicious of Emmy and she went away.

Meanwhile, Janet finally found out what her friends were hiding from her. She was shocked that her father, that vile man, was the chief commander against Jordan. Janet understood why Jordan would keep this as a secret from her and won't dare to attack Jordan for her sake but Denzell was just her father in name, she never received fatherly love from that man.

Finally Janet took a decision and without consulting any of her friends, she left for the war zone.(All of these things happened just a few days before the war began).

At the Clifftop house, Emmy was not sure about this power as in her memory, this wasn't reflected in those memory surges. She didn't waste any time and rushed to the rock side area near her house. The sea was unusually calm but with the black rainy clouds in the sky, it looked as if it was waiting for a cloudburst.

Emmy started to walk to the end of the rock, with each step, her heart was beating faster. She was anticipating that the black mist which Juliet and Alex had mentioned might pop out at any time. Her eyes observed even a minor change in the surroundings and finally she reached the end.

Looking into the deep calm sea, Emmy could not fathom the situation. According to Juliet, that day she was helpless near the raging sea, her powers were not working and the black mist violently struck Alex and herself. If there was such an unknown power hidden here, where is it now?

Emmy stood there thinking about it for some time. When she decided  to leave the place, finally a feeling of being stared at rose inside Emmy. She further looked into the deep sea and it confirmed her doubt. The calm water had bubbles rising in it and the intensity was increasing like something was emerging out from the water.  Emmy froze at its sight and finally in front of her was the swirling black mist.

Meanwhile at the camp, Jordan and Alex were watching the situation at the battle zone when there was a sudden attack at their camp.Out of their fifty soldiers, half of them were already dead and the rest were fighting against the commanding wing army under the Dagardian clan.

Jordan and Alex rushed out without any delay, starting the fight and soon the lead was on their side. With the two joining the fight, the rest of twenty five soldiers had no casualties but the opposite side were keeping them busy.

The most awaited moment came when Denzell Dagardian came into the scene. He was watching Jordan intently as a hunter watching its prey. Shortly, he understood that Jordan's skills were out of his league and if they fought with each other, the victory would be assured for this young man. The wicked eyes gleamed, Denzell decided to go against the rules of war and attack from behind.

Jordan was desperate to help his fellow soldiers that he stood at the center of the enemy army and totally engrossed in the fight. Suddenly the rival side started evacuating the scene, leaving Jordan alone in that area, the confused Jordan could just turn when a sudden boom was heard and he could only see vibrant golden light coming towards him.

Although Jordan knew he wouldn't be able to dodge this attack, he raised his sword and closed his eyes out of instinct. At that time, Jordan thought of only Janet's face and the promise he gave her. He clenched his hands over the sword and warm liquid filled his eyes.

Just as the heat of the light reached near him, he just heard someone screaming his name and the person had saved Jordan by taking the explosive attack on themselves. Jordan opened his eyes and was shocked. The person lying unconscious in front of him was none other than his other half, his woman… Janet.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO......"

The scream alerted all the people in the area, stopping the fight, everyone surrounded Jordan protectively. Jordan scooped Janet from the ground and hugged her tightly.

" Janet, look at me, open your eyes… No … no… no...you cannot leave me ever." Jordan was crying heavily.  Never in his mind, did he think that Janet would come to the war zone and take such a fatal blow for him. She had sacrificed herself as she knew that he would not attack Denzell for her sake.

As Jordan was weeping over the comatose Janet, a body was thrown on the ground in front of them. Jordan looked up with his bloodshot eyes, seeing the culprit being captured by Alex, his killing desire sprung up.

" You have crossed my bottom line, you killed your own blood,my woman, Death is only your punishment."

Jordan carefully lifted his beloved in his hands and handed the lifeless Janet to Alex.

"Take her to elder Miandrake. He might be able to save her, from this day onwards this land has only two clans."

The last sentence was actually roared out by Jordan. His vengeful soul had been healed by this woman but she was hurt because of the same enemy, breaking all his rationalities. Looking at his woman, Jordan kissed her forehead.

"Alex, I want her back. "

After saying the final piece, Jordan summoned his horse and let Alex take wounded Janet back to the Esbertrazian clan.

Denzell, who had been defeated by Alex, was half dead, yet he sat up on the ground. Spitting the blood in his mouth, he laughed, " The worthless daughter saved you, huh… she and her mother were both good-for-nothing women. If not for the secret technique, I would have never married her and let her give birth to my blood."

Jordan walked over and smiled but that smile never reached his eyes. He raised his sword and thrusted it on to Denzell's legs, cutting both of the legs in one strike.. Denzell could think what kind of punishment Jordan would present him but now he was scared.
