Chapter 515 See The Guest Out
Jared was a little irritated. The Coopers didn’t come to Summerbank in Jazona to take revenge against him even though he had stayed in the city for seven days. In the end, Jared stopped waiting. He needed more resources to get spiritual energy.
Initially, Jared had planned to go with Tristan to Crescent Sect. Foreseeably, he had to halt his plan because of Franco’s death.
When he was showing Tommy and Phoenix some martial arts techniques, a guard came in hastily and reported, “Mr. Chance, General Long from the Department of Justice is here to see you!”
“Anthony? Why does he want to see me?” Jared was startled. Ever since he declined Anthony’s invitation to join the Department of Justice, they had never seen each other.
“Tell him to wait for me in the living room. I’ll be there soon!”
Then, Jared glanced at Tommy and Phoenix and instructed, “You two can fight each other as practice. Don’t be afraid of injuring the other; a martial arts master can only become strong via actual combat.”
“Understood!” Tommy and Phoenix nodded in response.
Anthony was sitting on the couch when Jared arrived in the living room.
He stood up immediately and greeted, “Mr. Chance, I’m sorry to bother you.”
“No problem, General Long. Is everything all right?” Jared flashed him a faint smile.
“A prominent figure is now in a coffee shop on West Street and would like to meet you. I hope you can go with me,” Anthony said politely.
Jared was stunned for a while. Since Anthony came in-person to invite Jared, he believed that person was immensely prominent. Besides, Jared thought he was probably a high-level bureaucrat like Anthony.
However, he wasn’t interested in befriending or joining them since they would restrain him from doing the things he liked.
“General Long, I’m so sorry. I’m in the middle of something and can’t leave now…” Jared declined Anthony’s invitation politely.
“In that case, when will you be available?” Anthony refused to give up.
“I won’t be available in these few days!” Jared replied.
“A few days?” Anthony knew it was an excuse to decline his invitation.
“Mr. Chance, he is a prominent figure, powerful enough to change anything he wants…” he continued, more loudly this time.
However, Jared still put on a faint smile and said, “I’m sorry. Regardless of how powerful the person is, I don’t have time. Please excuse me if there is nothing else.”
“Mr. Chance, he is a powerful figure from Jadeborough. You should consider it carefully!” Anthony frowned, and his face darkened.
Deep down, Anthony could forgive Jared for disrespecting him. However, he never thought Jared would also refuse to show some respect to the prominent figure from Jadeborough.
The next moment, Jared stopped smiling and shouted, “Please see our guest out!”
How dare Anthony threaten me? Even if the person is a prominent figure from Jadeborough, I won’t see him unless I want to.
It would irritate Jared whenever someone threatened him.
“You…” Anthony’s face turned red in anger. In the end, he heaved a sigh and left.
In the coffee shop on West Street, a square-faced middle-aged man was having tea. A tall young man with short hair, who looked competent, stood next to him.
“Elias, how old are you?” the middle-aged man asked.
“General, I’m twenty-five this year,” Elias answered loudly without shifting his gaze.
“I see. You’re about the same age as Jared. It’s good to be young, for you can achieve a lot….”
A glimmer of envy flittered across the middle-aged man’s eyes.
Suddenly, Anthony opened the door and entered the shop in frustration.
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but startle. “Where is he?”
“Mr. Jackson, Jared declined our invitation by saying he is in the middle of something!” Anthony lowered his head and answered embarrassedly.
