Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 797
Advertisement
Gabrielle was thinking of something to distract the kidnappers, so she could getaway. She could fake having a stomach and begging them to give her medication. Or she could use her feminine charm. Didn't a kidnapper drool over her beauty?
If Gabrielle didn't make use of that, she would let that kidnapper down, wouldn't she?
It was a pity when Gabrielle leaned on the window weighing all her ideas. The door was kicked open. She looked around and was astounded.
Why was he here?
Gabrielle looked like she saw a ghost.
The man came over slowly and calmly with an arrogant look. He frivolously lifted eyebrows at Gabrielle, like he was saying, look, no matter whether you chose me or not, you couldn't stay away from me.
Gabrielle looked at his hands. He really liked to mind business, not his. How could he know she was here?
How capable was he to find her even if she was trapped on the mountain?
It was too impressive.
"Are you gonna jump from here?"
Jackson entered the door slowly. On top of his head were dim lights that gave warmth to his body.
But Jackson's look was as sharp as the blade. He said with sarcasm.
It made no sense to ignore whoever came to rescue her. Gabrielle came to Jackson before he came to her, saying, "How could I? See? That window is too tiny and narrow for me to squeeze through."
Jackson looked up and down at Gabrielle and looked at the window. He said, "Yeah. You're right. You'll probably get stuck about..."
Without saying a look, Jackson looked at Gabrielle's breasts.
That was blatant flirtation.
Gabrielle held in the chest and thought of something serious from Jackson's flirtatious look, saying, "How do you get in? Aren't you supposed to be with Evan? Where are Diana's sidekicks? Do you get rid of them all?"

It wasn't typical of Jackson to come here so arrogantly without kicking the kidnappers down. As for why he left Evan's place, she wasn't interested in knowing...
Jackson grabbed Gabrielle's wrist, saying, "You have so many questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?"
Gabrielle said, "It doesn't matter. But why are you grabbing my wrists?"
Jackson said, "Isn't that obvious? I'm taking you out of here."
Gabrielle shook her head, saying, "No, Avery..."
Then Gabrielle reached in her pocket.
Jackson said, frowning, "What are you looking for?"
"My phone," Gabrielle couldn't find hers, "Where's yours?"
Jackson answered, "I don't have one."
"What?"
Gabrielle wondered how could he not have a phone on him?
Gabrielle was in a hurry to contact Avery, so she needed a phone. Hers was left in the theater when she was grabbed.
Jackson said, "You can't use the phone right now." His voice was serious.
Gabrielle looked confused, saying, "Why?"
Jackson stared at Gabrielle and told her one word after another, "Because you're made a target."
What? How could she not know? When was this?
Was it...
Gabrielle suddenly looked up in horror, "Is it K's Clam?"
Jackson didn't answer. He already knew Gabrielle was the snitch. And he blocked any clues leading to her. But K's Clam still found out.
Gabrielle subconsciously grabbed Jackson's sleeves. So was a target now?
Gabrielle said, "What about the kidnapper's phone?" At least, she had to tell Avery she was safe.
Jackson said, "Everyone's phone is forbidden to be used."
Gabrielle said, "What if we lose locations on each other?"
Jackson said, "We talk on the radio."
Fine. No means no.
"Let's go," Jackson grabbed her wrists to leave. Gabrielle refused, "No. I have to stay here for my sister."

Jackson said, "Diana is going after your sister. She has Evan.'
Gabrielle said, "How do you know?" She was surprised that Jackson knew Diana's target was Avery.
Jackson said, "It's not hard to find out."
At the time, there were footsteps. Soon, a man came in.
"Charles..." Gabrielle realized it was Charles. But he didn't shave and looked decadent.
"You should go. I'll stay here for Avery," Charles said, "Get out of here before K's Clam is here."
"How about you?" Jackson looked hesitating. Charles said, "It's my fault to ask K's Clam to help me. And if Diana wants to hurt Avery, I'll be more of a help to her than you."
Charles and Avery couldn't go back to when they were still friends. But deep down, he wouldn't get hurt in any way.
Jackson nodded and looked at Gabrielle, saying, "Can we go now?"
"Charles..." Gabrielle didn't have a problem with Charles. But it was extreme that he spared no means trying to be with Avery. But under the circumstances, she had to trust him.
Besides, if Gabrielle stayed, she would be a burden.
Gabrielle stared at Charles. Under the decadent look, she sensed a great awakening. Then she looked at her head. For some reason, she thought the color of his hair was odd.
Jackson didn't hesitate and grabbed Gabrielle to get on the sports car he parked in front of the cabin.
Jackson stepped on the gas, and the car went so fast, like flying in the dark night.
If J.O Mountain was the best place for car racing beginners, Wolf Mountain was all car racers' nightmare.
The trail was rocky with gravel. It rubbed against tiles. Some gravel flew after the car drove by.
There was the sound of a clank.
But it sounded like the bullets hit the window and got reflected. The car windows were bullet-proof.
Bullets!
Gabrielle looked behind the car. Several cars drove before the cars driven by Jackson's bodyguards and came after them.
Gabrielle said, "They're coming after us."
Jackson said, "Sit tight!" Then he stepped all the way down on the gas. The engine made great noises and broke the silence of the night.
Howl~ such noises alarmed the wolves, and they howled.
Gabrielle was taught by Jackson. She knew he was good, but she didn't realize he was so good. Tough tricks that he taught her were so easy for him.
Jackson's chin was intense. The line of the side of his face was like an art craft kissed by God.
Jackson put both hands behind the steering wheel, like holding power and fate. He was such a perfect man, and Gabrielle suddenly couldn't bear to leave him.
Jackson said, "Hold tight." It was downhill, and the car flew down like they were in the rollercoaster. Suddenly, bang! When the back tire touched the ground, Jackson sensed tilt.
Gabrielle asked, "What's going on?"
Jackson answered, "The back tire is shot."

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
