Female Novel
Chapter 430
After wiping away her tears, Lizbeth began to relate her story.
When Walter was still an official in Summerbank, he was on good terms with the Coopers of
Jadeborough. Back then, the Coopers were still an ordinary family. Their influence began to grow only
after leveraging Walter's network.
When Lizbeth had just graduated from university, she was engaged to Franco under Walter's auspices.
Back then, she liked Franco for his distinguished looks and capabilities. However, the good times didn't
last. After Walter retired, Franco not only called off the engagement but also proposed to Mandy Bailey
of the prominent Jadeborough family in front of everyone. Consequently, the matter dealt a severe blow
to both Lizbeth and her family. From then on, the two families fell out with each other.
Gritting her teeth, Josephine cursed, “Franco is worse than an animal!”
Jared let out a gentle sigh at the wheel. The relationship only lasted while it was still in their interest to
do so. The Coopers have been extremely ruthless in this matter. Unfortunately, many in this day and
age behave the same way too.
After having a simple dinner outside, Jared went back, while Josephine spent the night with Lizbeth to
comfort her. Subsequently, Jared used the time he had to make more revitalizing pills.
The next morning, Jesse came to see him.
“Mr. Chance, if you want to attend the Martial Arts Gathering, we will have to travel there today. Or else,
we might not be able to find any accommodation if we're late,” Jesse informed him respectfully.
“All right then. Please wait for a moment. Let me leave some instructions with my men.”
After nodding in acknowledgment, Jared ordered Tommy and Phoenix to keep an eye on Josephine.
With that, he traveled to Tayhaven Town together with Jesse.
A long time ago, Tayhaven was a poor town. It wasn't until Herb Palace developed it and held the
annual Martial Arts Gathering did it become a thriving place.
In every corner of the town, one could see medical institutions, hotels, and heavy traffic. Compared to
many third or fourth-tier cities, it bustled with a lot more activities.
“Mr. Chance, I have already made reservations for our accommodation.
However, the hotels here are a lot simpler than those in Summerbank. Therefore, you will have to lower
your expectations.”
Jesse led Jared to a small hotel and stopped at its entrance.
“It's okay.” It didn't matter to Jared where he stayed.novelbin
When Jared followed Jesse into the hotel, he swept his gaze across the lobby and noticed the
presence of many warriors with strong internal energy. Among them were a few Internal Energy
Grandmasters.
As Jesse walked across the lobby, many of them greeted him. Evidently, he was well known in that
area.
It wasn't until they arrived at the last room along the third-floor corridor that Jesse remarked, “Mr.
Chance, this is already the hotel's best room. You'll have to bear with it for the trip.”
When Jared entered the room, he noticed that it was only slightly bigger than ten square meters. There
was also a bed and a washroom. Even though the facilities were rudimentary, the entire place was very
clean and had cheerful surroundings. When Jared opened the window, he was greeted by the sight of
the largest street in day haven Town.
“Jesse, did you make reservations for the room?”
At that moment, a group of men approached both of them.
In their lead was an elderly man who looked to be in his seventies. He was thin and frail with veins
bulging all over his body. In fact, he looked no different from a shriveled corpse. Nonetheless, his eyes
sparkled brightly while he walked with a spring in his step.
Behind the old man were two young men. One of them was massively built and had a brawny air to
him. As for the other, he looked a lot scrawnier. In spite of that, he had a set of mesmerizing eyes and
emitted a smoldering aura, just like a proud fighting cock ready to strike at any moment.
The one who had just spoken to Jesse was the burly man, who happened to be smiling at Jesse at that
very moment.
