Chapter 124 - J’s Guardian Angel

He felt that he could do nothing for her...

J felt guilty. Growing up together she definitely knows how Lance feels based on his tone and his choice of words. Even when she cannot see him, she knows that he felt useless. Not that he is, in fact, he is so much helpful to her. There are a lot of things that she cannot do without him. But there were some duties that he cannot fulfill because of her situation.

"I'm glad that you're okay... I'm sorry that I wasn't there to protect you... " Lance said after a couple of seconds.

J sighed. She's not good at consoling another person's emotion. Be it other people or a person close to her. She is more of a listener than a talker. Normally she would just sit down and listen to them, then made some gestures like patting their back or if necessary, give them a hug. But listening to Lance at a distance, she felt helpless.

She has to do something. J thought to herself. Before she could say something, she heard Lance speak again but this time with an energetic tone.

"Anyways, I'll just have to do what I do best. I'll find out if he killed the Sano Twins."

J smiled. Knowing Lance, he can easily change his emotions from down to high.

"Thank you. You were the big brother that I never had." J said gently.

"Nonsense. I'm your guardian angel!" Lance said proudly. J can even vision him holding his chest like a knight.

"By the way, have I told you before that Jacob is the new Chairman of Twelve Army? Thou it turns out that he had taken over a couple of years ago, it was announced just recently when he came back from abroad." Lance changed the topic.

"Twelve Army? The private army?" J asked with some thoughts running into her mind.

"Yes. That's why if you are doubting about Jacob's capability to kill, I think you should think twice. I think with his identity and capability, no one would dare mess with him or with his... " with Lance' continuous talking he suddenly came up with a realization which J thought of as well. " ...wife."

"Damnit! How could I miss that small detail! That's it J! I think Elder Do marry you to Jacob for protection. He knew that the time would come that the Second-Class Elites would look for you, he knew the dangers that you will be facing! So, he arranged your marriage with Jacob! Because once the elites find out your identity, they would also find out that you are married to Jacob Parker. The person whom they wouldn't dare to mess with. The person whom they owe their precious life with. Because if it wasn't for Jacob and the Twelve Army which is their only source of a private army in the country, their life would be like a target in the shooting range where all guns were pointed at them without any protection!" Lance was animated at his discovery.

J was thinking the same. Lance was right. If her marriage to Jacob Parker has been exposed to the public, it would no longer matter if the Second-Class Elites recognize her as the heiress of the Robin Hood Society. They wouldn't dare mess with Jacob.
