A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421 Is There Something

As the sun began to set and darkness covered the land, Jared got himself changed and prepared to attend the banquet.

Nonetheless, Josephine slept so soundly that she shook her head after Jared tried to wake her up. “You should just go alone. I’m not coming with you. I’m too tired and I just want to sleep.”

After giving Josephine a look, Jared turned and left. Given that she was wearing a protective jade pendant, he would know instantly if she was in any danger.

Meanwhile, at Glamor Hotel…

Everyone who was someone in Horington was there. Due to Jared, William’s position in Horington was significantly elevated. In fact, even Walter and Glen had to treat William with respect.

As for the other families, all of them ingratiated themselves with William and were envious of the fact that he had a wonderful daughter.

“Mr. Chance is here,” someone yelled.

The moment they saw Jared enter, everyone stood up to welcome his arrival.

After greeting everyone with a slight nod, Jared took his seat beside William.

As everyone settled down, they were filled with excitement. After all, to be able to share a meal with Jared was a coveted honor by all the prominent families in the city.

“Mr. Chance, I heard that you rejected General Long’s invitation to replace him as general at the Department of Justice. Is that true?”

Walter was the first one to ask about the matter.

Jared broke into a slight smile. “I’m just too busy to take over that role.”

Everyone gasped upon learning that Jared had declined the offer. As a result, they were astounded as to how powerful Jared truly was.

After all, the general of the Department of Justice in Summerbank was a position that was senior to even the mayor and coveted by many.

“I don’t know. I just felt as if someone had entered when a breeze blew past and sent a chill down my spine,” the guard replied in an uncertain tone.

“Did you see a ghost instead?”

“Hahaha…” the rest of his colleagues laughed mockingly.

In spite of that, the guard ignored them as he began to patrol the neighborhood with his security baton in hand.

Evidently, he was very responsible and took his duty seriously.

Just when he turned a corner, he suddenly saw the two black figures who had covered themselves up except for their eyes.

Shocked, the guard raised his baton and questioned, “Who are you?”

One of the black figures responded by raising his hand and pulling the guard toward him with an invisible force. The next instant, the guard was strangled by his neck and could barely breathe.
