Chapter 428 There Is Always Someone Stronger
When he was done, he gave all of them to Phoenix and Tommy. Tommy was given a larger share, as he was a lot weaker than Phoenix.
Holding the pills in their hands, Tommy and Phoenix were filled with gratitude because they were well aware of the cost of the pills. Consequently, Jared’s gesture further cemented their loyalty toward him.
“Tommy, I plan to make more revitalizing pills. Hence, please take this list of ingredients and procure all the herbs on it,” Jared instructed.
“All right.” Tommy nodded before leaving with Phoenix.
Jared wanted to make more revitalizing pills so that he could be prepared for any emergency. Given that he didn’t have any money on hand, he planned to trade them for anything that caught his eye during the Martial Arts Gathering.
In the evening, Lizbeth invited Jared and Josephine to dinner to thank him for agreeing to teach her martial arts.
“Go on, just tell me what you would like to eat. There’s no need to hold back!” Lizbeth offered.
“Why don’t you decide? You would know better than us on what’s good in Summerbank,” Josephine replied.
“All right then, let’s have teppanyaki. I know of a restaurant that’s especially good!”
Just as she spoke, Lizbeth opened the car door.
When she was about to get in, her phone suddenly rang. Over the line, her family instructed her to return home for dinner, as there was something important going on.”
When Lizbeth’s expression turned awkward, Josephine smiled at her. “Don’t worry about it. You should just head home. We’ll just have dinner somewhere around here.”
“Why don’t you come home together with me? My parents are actually looking forward to seeing Jared,” Lizbeth suggested.
“Your parents want to see Jared?” Josephine was stunned.
Realizing that her words had come out wrong, she quickly explained with a blushing face, “It’s all Oliver’s fault. He has been singing Jared’s praises all day at home until my parents were so curious about Jared!”
“Do you think this is appropriate?” Jared asked embarrassingly.
“Why wouldn’t it be? Quick, get in the car!”
After ushering both of them into her car, Lizbeth sped home right away.
Although her parents were important officials in Summerbank, they stayed in an ordinary neighborhood. Despite living in a three-bedroom apartment, it was quite spacious inside.
At that moment, a Rolls-Royce was parked inside the neighborhood and looked extremely out of place.
“Whose luxury car is that? It even has a Jadeborough car plate,” Lizbeth mumbled.
At the same time, Jared and Josephine followed behind her with gifts in their hands.
Since it was their first visit to Lizbeth’s home, they naturally couldn’t show up empty-handed.
The moment Lizbeth opened the door to her home, she noticed that there were two more guests. Also, a somber atmosphere seemed to have dominated the house.
Upon entering, Jared and Josephine sensed the awkwardness in the air too.
When Jared looked at the young man sitting on the couch, he could tell that the young man had the strength of an Internal Energy Grandmaster from the martial energy he was emitting. In fact, the man was even more powerful than Zachariah.
Behind the young man was a burly and stern-looking middle-aged man. He emitted an aura that was even more powerful than that of the young man.
Both of them were top-tier warriors in Summerbank. At that instant, Jared understood why Luke wanted to send his son out into the world. Evidently, there was always someone more powerful within the martial arts world.
Meanwhile, when the young man felt Jared’s aura, he raised his gaze at Jared before averting his eyes quickly.
“Dad, Mom, why is he here?” Lizbeth questioned her parents angrily at the sight of the young man on the couch.
