Chapter 52 Inviting Trouble
Steven was trembling with fear as he stared at Jared. His mind went blank because he had no ideawhat had just happened.
After receiving Jared’s powerful punch, he realized that his Impenetrable Skill was useless against him.
“Sir, may I know what your name is? One day, I’ll come back to learn from you!” Realizing that he wasno match for Jared, Steven decided to leave while he still had a chance.
“Steven, do you think you get to leave? Well, let me tell you—Mr. Chance is here today, and this iswhere your life ends!” Tommy looked at him smugly.
Steven’s expression changed. If he strikes, there’s no doubt I won’t be getting out of here alive!
“The name’s Chance. Jared Chance. You can come and seek revenge anytime. If you don’t think youcan handle me, by all means, bring your mentor along,” Jared said upon reading Steven’s mind.
“Mr. Chance, you can’t just let him go! You’re just inviting more trouble!” Tommy warned when he heardthat Jared wanted to let Steven live.
“Back away! I know what I’m doing!” Jared frowned.
Sensing that Jared was about to fly off the handle, Tommy got so frightened that he didn’t dare to voiceanother word.
“All right, then! Duly noted. See you next time!” Steven got up and wiped the blood off the corner of hismouth. Then he waved at his subordinates and said, “Let’s go!”
After Steven left, the spacious hall was once again left with those who attended the banquet.
“Mr. Chance, you were incredible! I’ve finally seen it with my own eyes!”
“Truly incredible at such a young age! One can only imagine how strong you will be in the future, Mr.Chance!”
“Indeed, valor is better demonstrated by the young!”
Everybody in the crowd was full of praise for Jared.
Walter was impressed as well. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever thought that Jared was thatstrong. At this moment, his respect for Jared had increased.
“Please forgive my foolishness from before, Mr. Chance,” Luca apologized with embarrassment writtenall over his face.
“It’s all right!” Jared smiled.
William looked at Jared, and he couldn’t be happier. He was so happy that he now approved of thematter between Jared and Josephine.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you knew martial arts? I was so worried about you!” Josephine pretendedto be angry and pinched his arm.
“Ouch!” Jared acted as though he was in pain. “That hurts.”
Josephine panicked. “I… I didn’t even use much force! How can it hurt?”
“I was actually injured by Steven just now, but I’ve been holding it in. You made it worse!” Jaredcontinued acting.
“I… I didn’t know! Let me take a look at your injuries!” Josephine had no clue that Jared was pulling aprank on her. She was on the verge of crying.
Including William, everyone knew of Jared’s prank. However, none of them wanted to expose him asthey simply stood by and looked at the couple quietly.novelbin
Only Josephine did not see through his act, as she was too concerned about him.
“Okay, I’m fine now. I’m all healed right after you touched me.” Jared decided to drop the act when hesaw that Josephine had tears gathering in her eyes.
At once, Josephine realized that she had been deceived. “Jared! How could you?” She threw a punchat him, which he managed to dodge.
The crowd was laughing as they watched the two of them bickering with each other. Walter tapped onWilliam’s shoulder from behind and said, “Mr. Sullivan, the future of the Sullivan family looks brighterthan ever!”
Fully aware of what Walter meant, William answered humbly, “Oh, no, we still need you to take care ofus, Mr. Grange!”
Walter burst into laughter. “I’m sure it’ll be the other way round!”
