A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Master Venicus

Meanwhile, in the Jantz family residence, Zachariah was sitting on the couch with a warm towel over his head.

The impact of losing his daughter gave him a really severe headache.

Wilbur walked up to him and said, “Anthony is back, Dad!”

“Did he bring our guy with him?” Zachariah asked with his eyes still closed.

Wilbur shook his head. “No, he didn’t.”

“Since the Department of Justice is useless, we’ll do it ourselves. Jared is still in Horington, right?”

“No, he’s not.”

“What?” Zachariah’s eyes shot wide open instantly. He then tossed the towel aside as he continued, “He escaped? Did Anthony let him go on purpose? I won’t forgive him if he did!”

“Jared isn’t in Horington, but he hasn’t left the country. He probably returned to Summerbank. Lizbeth wasn’t with Anthony when he returned, so I’m guessing she snuck him into Summerbank to protect him from us,” Wilbur replied after giving it some thought.

“Hmph! An eye for an eye, a life for a life! No one can stop me from killing Jared, especially a small fry like Anthony! Wilbur, I want you to have our men capture Lizbeth and interrogate her for Jared’s whereabouts!” Zachariah shouted angrily.

“I’ll make the arrangements right away!” Wilbur turned around and prepared to leave after saying that.

“Wait! How are things with the Whitaker family’s businesses? Has anyone made a move yet?” Zachariah called out to him all of a sudden.

“Not yet, but there are plenty of other families that are itching to act upon it. Most of the Whitaker family’s business partners have ceased collaborations with them. In addition to that, a huge number of senior executives in the company are also starting to panic. It would seem that they are looking for a way out,” Wilbur replied with a worried look on his face.

“Master Venicus of the Crescent Sect is here, Mr. Jantz,” Leonardo replied respectfully.

“What? Hurry up and invite him in! No, actually, I’ll go greet him in person! Help me get changed! Hurry!” Zachariah leaped to his feet in a state of panic.

The butler quickly helped Zachariah get dressed and followed behind him as the two of them made their way out of the room.

A sage-like old man could be seen standing quietly outside the Jantz family mansion.

“I am terribly sorry that my servants kept you waiting out here, Master Venicus! I’ll be sure to punish them severely for this!” Zachariah said respectfully as he ran up to Venicus.

“You’re being too harsh on your servants, Old Mr. Jantz! They did nothing wrong, so there is no need to punish them,” Venicus replied with an enigmatic smile.
