A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1177

Jared knew that he likely couldn’t have killed Quintus if Xavier hadn’t discovered the secret of the latter’s magecraft back then.

“Jadeborough has become considerably quieter while you were away, Mr. Chance. But Howard from the Dunn family came multiple times in search of you. I wonder if he has some business with you,” Theodore reported to Jared.

Jared’s brows furrowed slightly when he heard that.

“Why was Howard looking for me?”

Could it be that there’s something serious that Howard came over to look for me multiple times?

“I’m not sure either, but he said to phone him after you had returned to Jadeborough!” Theodore answered.

Hearing that, Jared took out his phone and gave Howard a call.

After all, he found Howard pretty decent. That aside, the man once helped him. Thus, he reckoned that the latter might have encountered some difficulties that he was seeking him out so urgently.

When Howard received Jared’s call, he was elated beyond words. He told the latter to wait for him at the Department of Justice while he sped over right away.

At that very moment, a grand banquet was in the works at the Dunn residence.

Sitting at the main seat, Lachlan waited silently for Jared to come.

“Old Mr. Dunn, the fact that Jared killed the sect leader of Malison Sect, Quintus Zabel, is proof of his superb capabilities. What if he resists when we forcibly detain him?” Lachlan’s butler, Maddox Smith, whispered.

“Don’t worry, for I’ve long since considered that!”

The corners of Lachlan’s mouth curled up. He took out a pill that was crystal clear, very much beautiful.

“But if Mr. Sanders were to learn that we killed him, we’ll be in trouble,” Maddox reminded in a whisper, shrinking into himself.

By then, Lachlan was so livid that his face flushed bright red. He knocked Maddox on the head.

“Why the h*ll did I employ a butler like you? Even if we kill him, we can never admit to it. It so happens that Skylar Norton has a grudge against him. Thus, we’ll make it seem like the doing of the Norton family. Then, Mr. Sanders will only have the Norton family to blame. It’ll be good if the Norton family is destroyed. With that, we’ll have one less competitor in Jadeborough!”

Maddox didn’t dare speak further but zipped his mouth.

Lachlan snagged the coffee pot and dropped the energy-constraining pill into it. After that, he gently swished it a few times.

In the end, he opened it and took a sniff before nodding in satisfaction.

He then waited for Jared to arrive before tricking him into drinking the coffee.
