Chapter 481 A Bee
However, Jared shook his head. “Mr. Snyder, we don’t desire anything from you. We only hope that you can take us to see your new vein mine!”
Jayden’s expression darkened instantly. He looked at Jared sternly and said, “Who are you? How did you know about the new vein mine?”
Seeing Jayden’s expression, Dominic explained quickly, “Mr. Snyder, we heard about it in a restaurant. Many people were discussing this.”
Jayden calmed down slightly upon hearing Dominic’s explanation. Suddenly, he shouted angrily, “Damn it, the news still leaked somehow!”
“Please don’t worry. We don’t desire anything from the new vein mine. After all, there are only the two of us. We can’t compete with you or the other two families for the vein mine. I only want to look at it out of curiosity,” Jared explained.
After hearing Jared, Jayden decided to be frank with them and said solemnly, “I need to warn you. It is dangerous to visit the vein mine now. There might only be one family left standing in the end. If you visit the mine with me, I don’t have the power to protect you!”
“Don’t worry. We can protect ourselves. All you have to do is bring us there,” Jared replied.
“In that case, we shall set off tomorrow. However, you must not hold me responsible if anything happens to you. Since both of you saved my daughter, I will prepare a feast tonight to show my gratitude. You can also stay here tonight. We shall depart early tomorrow morning,” Jayden said.
Jared nodded and did not refuse Jayden. Since the Snyders were familiar with Mount Hickoria, it was good to go with them. Furthermore, Jared had a hunch that the vein mine could have something to do with the spiritual stone.
After that, Jared and Dominic sat in the living room by themselves. No one bothered with them. It showed that the Snyders did not believe that they had saved Tessa. They probably thought Jared and Dominic were only passing by and grabbed the opportunity to claim rewards.
Meanwhile, Tessa changed her clothes and returned to the living room. She sat on an adjacent couch and regarded Jared carefully. “Did you save me? You don’t look like a skilled fighter.”
Even Tessa found it hard to believe that Jared could save her from those highly skilled abductors.
Since Tessa did not believe him, Jared found it pointless to explain. He ignored her and sipped his tea quietly.
On the other hand, Dominic looked at Tessa brightly and tried to keep the conversation going with Tessa. He seemed eager to please like a puppy.
Although the Wagner family had some authority in Summerbank, they were nothing compared to the Snyders. The fact that the Snyders owned mines was enough to subdue most of the Wagner family.
“Ms. Snyder, I heard that you have prepared a new song. When are you going to release it? When will you be having a concert in Summerbank? I will attend it with a hundred of my men! Ms. Snyder, are you taking a break at home, or are you searching for inspiration?” Dominic kept asking questions after questions.
Tessa seemed impatient as she answered some of them but ignored others.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
At this moment, a bee appeared from out of nowhere and flew around the living room.
“Ah…” Tessa screamed and turned pale. “A bee, a bee…”
One could see that Tessa was afraid of it.
Dominic saw the bee and knew that it was his chance to get on her good side. “Ms. Snyder, don’t be afraid. I will protect you!”
Then, he grabbed a cushion from the couch and used it to hit the bee. However, he kept missing the bee and turned the living room into a mess.
Meanwhile, Tessa curled up fearfully at the corner of a couch with her face pale from fear. She was stung by a bee as a child and developed a phobia.
On the other hand, Jared had been sipping tea quietly throughout the commotion. Suddenly, he frowned and seemed annoyed. Then, he flicked a finger and caused the bee to drop to the floor.
