Chapter 414 Pointers
The ground shook violently like an earthquake, causing Jesse to lose his balance and fall down.
Half of Jared’s leg was on the ground, and the cracks that resulted from his stomp reached as far as fifty feet.
He then pulled his leg out of the ground and calmly walked toward Luke while Jesse stared blankly at the crater that was about 3 feet deep.
Jesse swallowed in fear after finally realizing Jared’s power. Holy sh*t! This guy is probably at the level of Grandmaster of internal energy or higher! Now I see why Dad was so respectful toward him!
With that in mind, Jesse stood up and made his way toward Jared. He then knelt down and apologized, “Please forgive me for my rude behavior, Mr. Chance!”
Jared was a little surprised by his actions and quickly pulled him up to his feet.
Although the two brothers have arrogant personalities, they are humble enough to apologize and right their wrongs. It seems they aren’t that different from Luke, after all!
“True power comes from your heart, and true form comes from your mind. That way, you will be able to train both speed and power at the same time instead of having to sacrifice one for the other,” Jared said while patting him on the shoulder.
“True power comes from your heart, and true form comes from your mind…” Jesse mumbled to himself repeatedly.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement as he said, “Thank you for the pointers, Mr. Chance! I get it now!”
Jesse then ran toward the middle of the training hall and began practicing while muttering to himself, “True power comes from your heart, and true form comes from your mind!”
Feeling satisfied after seeing that, Luke flashed Jared a grateful smile and said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Chance! If you ever need our help, just let us know and we will do our best to assist you!”
“Don’t mention it, Mr. Wagner!” Jared replied.
At that moment, Dominic came over and called out to him, “Mr. Chance, the stones have arrived. Could you please…”
Jared nodded. “Sure, let’s go and take a look!”
Just like that, the two of them left in Dominic’s car and headed over to a warehouse in the suburbs. Dominic stored his stones there as the store in the city was too small to fit such a large amount of stones.
A small, black car pulled up outside shortly after their arrival, and a white-haired old man came out of the car. He was wearing a pair of glasses and held a walking stick in his hand.
Dominic quickly ran forward to hold him steady. “Mind your step, Mr. Patterson!”
He was extremely respectful toward the old man as he carefully helped him toward the warehouse.
“I’m only doing this out of respect for your father, Dominic! An old man like me shouldn’t be making trips like these anymore! This will be the last time I help you out!” the old man exclaimed in displeasure.
“But it’ll be a huge loss for the stone gambling community if you retire, Mr. Patterson!” Dominic said respectfully.
“I’m too old now! Still, I heard you got yourself a very huge amount of stones this time. As much as I respect your father, I can’t give you too much of a discount either. I want this much!”
The old man then held up a finger to his face.
“A million? No problem at all! It is a fitting price for your services, Mr. Patterson!” Dominic replied with a nod.
The look on the old man’s face grew cold instantly. “What do you mean a million? I want ten million!”
“Ten million?” Dominic’s eyes went wide with shock.
“What? Is this too much for you? From what I know, these are Hickoria stones that you have here. You’re aware of the profit you could make out of them, right?” the old man asked.
“Okay, sure… Ten million it is, then…” Dominic muttered through clenched teeth.
After helping the old man toward a chair on the side, Dominic walked up to Jared and said apologetically, “This old man is Benjamin Patterson. He’s an expert in the stone gambling community. We would all consult him whenever we purchase these stones. It’s not that I don’t trust you, Mr. Chance! Please don’t get the wrong idea!”
“It’s okay!” Jared replied with a smile.
