“Come on, let’s go. I haven’t been to a secret realm before.” Flaxseed had long been unable to contain his curiosity. It wasn’t long before he and Jared walked out of the room and carefully toward the chaos dimension.
Meanwhile, back inside a luxurious mansion in Norham, Kayson was clutching his cheek while hurling something out of his hand.
“You useless bunch! How did you not manage to find those guys? How hard could it be to get a hold of them?” he roared at his subordinate.
He had sent his men to follow Jared and find the perfect opportunity to get back at him, only to learn that the latter’s group seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Despite scouring the whole city of Norham, no one could find them. Norham wasn’t even large. In fact, the whole city belonged to the Zagorski family, so it shouldn’t have been this hard to find someone.
Yet, none of Kayson’s subordinates knew where Jared had gone. Instead, they now trembled in fear with their heads kept low, not daring to utter a word in response.
At that very moment, a middle-aged man walked in. It was none other than Austin Zagorski, Kayson’s father and the mayor of Norham.
He sent all the subordinates away with a wave of his hand before asking, “What’s going on? Why are you throwing a fit and wrecking everything?”
“Dad! Look at my face!” Aggrieved, Kayson moved his hand away from his cheek to show the older man how swollen his face had become.
Austin glanced at his son’s cheek and furrowed his brows slightly. “What happened? Did someone hit you?” “Of course,” Kayson responded with gritted teeth. “It was Jared Chance who did it! I’m going to kill him!”
“Jared Chance?” Austin pondered briefly before a look of shock crossed his face. “You’re not talking about the Jared Chance who went up against the Warriors Alliance, are you?”
Kayson nodded. “That’s him.” “What’s he doing here in Norham?” Austin began to appear concerned. “How many people did he bring with him?”
“There were three of them in total. A guy, a girl, and an old man. That geezer’s nothing but a pervert.” Kayson became infuriated at the thought of Flaxseed.
Even I didn’t get to touch those thighs, and yet that old fart beat me to it!
“A guy, a girl, and an old man?”
Austin’s worries deepened as he wondered what Jared had come here for. “Does it have something to do with the soon-to- be-born King of Herbs?” he murmured.
“What are you muttering to yourself about, Dad? What King of Herbs?” asked Kayson. “Nothing. Don’t ask too much.” Austin shot him a glare. “Do you know where they are now?”
The younger man shook his head. “No. I’ve already sent my men to look for him. We still can’t find him even after searching the entire city.”
“Remember, don’t mess with Jared. You’d better stay far away from him when you see him,” Austin warned. “But Dad, am I going to just let him hit me and do nothing about it?”
Kayson wasn’t about to let someone hit him and get away with it. “Just let it be. I’ll warn you again. Do not get on Jared Chance’s bad side. Do you hear me?” the middle-aged man repeated himself sternly.
Regardless of why Jared had come, Austin didn’t wish to cross him because a certain King of Herbs would be born in a few days’ time. Not many people were aware of this, and on top of the fact that the event would occur in Norham, Austin was determined to get his hands on such a figure.
While he couldn’t help but grow suspicious of Jared’s presence in Norham, he still didn’t wish to start a fight between them before the King of Herbs’ arrival.
The man intended to steer clear of Jared as long as they didn’t share the same motives. He wasn’t so foolish as to try to get even with Jared just because the latter had slapped his son.
