Chapter 433 You Are Unworthy
“Oh, it’s nothing. Jesse mentioned that you’re a Grandmaster, so I was hoping to learn a thing or two from you.”
Fred was sullen.
He really could not stand the pretentious look on Jared’s face.
“Fred, Mr. Chance is…”
“You are unworthy.” Jared put his fork down as he made a passing comment.
Subsequently, he stopped eating, turned around, and made his way upstairs.
“Dude, what are you talking about?” Fred yelled. He was so worked up that he wanted to chase after Jared, but was held back by Jesse.
Shortly after, Jesse hurried back to the room and apologized to Jared, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Chance. Fred is kind of short-tempered. I hope that you won’t take it to heart…”
Suddenly, Fred barged into the room, followed by Lionel.
“Dude, I dare you to repeat what you just said!” Fred bellowed in rage.
“Fred, Fred…” With trepidation, Jesse tried to get a hold of him.
He was fearful that a fight might break out between them.
“Don’t stop me, Jesse! I must teach him a lesson today!”
Fred’s grace burned through his veins, and his fury exploded in him.
“Fred, Mr. Chance is the one who killed Zachariah! You’re definitely not his match.”
Feeling desperate, Jesse spilled the beans with the hope that Fred would stop his ridiculous act.
Just as he wished, silence ensued at his words. Fred calmed down and started scrutinizing Jared in disbelief.
Lionel broke the silence. “There’s no wonder you’re so arrogant. Do you think that you’re now invincible just because you’ve defeated Zachariah? Does that give you the right to disregard everyone else? Don’t let success go to your head. Haven’t you heard that the more you practice martial art, the more you should stay humble and grounded?”
“Even if Zachariah died in his hands, I still want to take a bet and fight him. Let’s see if I’m a rightful opponent.”
Anger rose within Fred upon hearing what his mentor said.
Jesse attempted to appease the situation, but to no avail. Lionel reprimanded him, “Stop holding him back, Jesse, or I’ll cut off ties with you.”
Hearing the stern warning, Jesse sighed and retreated.
“Come on, dude,” Fred prompted Jared.
“I said, you’re not worthy.” Jared threw a laconic reply at him.
Jared had completed Energy Cultivation and entered the Foundation Phase. He viewed any other Internal Energy Grandmaster as mere insects, let alone Fred who had only attained the rank “Master”.
“Darn you!” Fred shouted as he attacked Jared with a powerful punch.
At that very moment, a shrill sound broke through the air, and a gust of strong wind rumbled through the atmosphere.
Jared scoffed and took a small step forward. Then, he swung his arm and effortlessly landed a tight slap across Fred’s face as though he was beating a tiny mosquito.
Smack!
A crisp sound resonated in the room. Fred’s tightly clasped fist was still hanging mid-air while a solid palm print had already been printed on his face. As a consequence, half of his face swelled up and a few teeth were sent flying.
He was shocked to the core and rendered speechless. Lionel, too, was completely stupefied.
“This slap is for teaching you a lesson. Should there be a next time, I’ll not let you go so easily,” Jared said coldly.
“Argh! I’m taking you down with me!” Fred went ballistic. He had never been humiliated in his lifetime.
He swung his fist at Jared ruthlessly, wanting to end his life there and then.
Seeing so, Jesse tried to block the attack, but it was too late. Fred’s fist was only inches away from Jared.
“You talk too much!”
A cold expression crossed Jared’s face as he released another strike.
Crack! A clear popping sound was heard.
Instantly, Fred’s shoulder was deformed and broken. Jared forcibly pinned him down on the ground and made him kneel.
