A Man Like None Other Chapter 410

Chapter 410 Talented

Upon entering the main hall, Jared saw that Luke had prepared an incredibly grand feast for lunch. Everyone waited until Jared sat down at the main seat before sitting down themselves.

“You’re being a little too generous here, Mr. Wagner! A simple lunch would’ve sufficed!” Jared exclaimed with a faint smile as he looked at the dishes laid out before him.

“A simple lunch when you have graced us with your presence? Absolutely not! Only the best hospitality is good for you, Mr. Chance!” Luke said while pouring him a glass of wine.

He then turned toward Dominic and continued, “Raise your glass and apologize to Mr. Chance, Dominic!”

Jared waved at them. “That won’t be necessary. It’s no big deal, really. It’d be really petty of me to have him apologize over something so minor!”

Luke nodded profusely. “You may not know this, but my son has always been lazy and disobedient! He has no talent for martial arts whatsoever! All he does is obsess over these rocks every single day! After this, I’ll have him shut down his stone gambling store and stay away from those stones!”

“I know what I did wrong, Dad. I won’t behave so arrogantly anymore, so please let me keep my store!” Dominic pleaded anxiously after hearing that.

Luke glared at him angrily as he shouted, “Shut up! You would’ve died if it weren’t for Mr. Chance’s generosity and kindness! Forget about your stone gambling store! You’re going to stay home from now on!”

“I really can’t close the store, Dad!”

“Why the hell not?” Luke yelled.

Recalling how he had offered Jared eighty percent of the shares, Dominic said, “Because Mr. Chance is a major shareholder and also the boss of my stone gambling store!”

Luke paused and turned to look at Jared in confusion.

Jared nodded as he said, “Dominic is right. I am indeed planning on buying the shares of his stone gambling store. We all have our own unique talents, and martial arts isn’t suited for everyone. I think Dominic has a talent for stone gambling!”

Da*n, I wasn’t expecting Dominic to become business partners with Jared at all! Oh, well… At least the Wagner family is now another step closer to Jared!

With that in mind, Luke said, “In that case, I can rest assured that he will manage his business properly under your supervision.”

People kept approaching Jared to propose toasts throughout the banquet, but he didn’t decline any of their toasts. Thanks to the protection from Focus Technique, his body remained unaffected regardless of how much alcohol he consumed.

At one point, Jared noticed that Luke seemed troubled as he kept staring anxiously out the window.

“Mr. Wagner, I can excuse myself if you have other business to attend to.”

“Oh, no! Not at all! You see, I have another son who is training in martial arts. I told him to come home for lunch in hopes that you could give him some pointers, but he hasn’t returned yet!” Luke explained with an angry look on his face.

“Practicing martial arts? Why would you send him outside for training when you are so proficient at it?” Jared asked in surprise.

Luke is quite famous in Summerbank for being an Internal Energy Grandmaster. Why would he have his son train with someone else?

Luke let out a wry chuckle as he replied, “That may be the case here in Summerbank, but my proficiency is nothing outside of Jazona! There are tons of martial artists out there far more skilled and powerful than I am!”

Jared was a little shocked. “What? You mean there are people out there more powerful than Grandmasters?”

Since he wasn’t a martial artist and didn’t cultivate martial energy, he assumed that achieving the Grandmaster level was the greatest feat possible.
