Chapter 564 Top Priority

Sean smiled pleasantly. “I only want a word with the boy, General Jackson. Is that against the law?”

Theodore didn’t say anything but glare at Sean.

Jared stepped out. “You have my attention.”

Sean gazed coldly at Jared from head to toe. “No matter what kind of powers you have at your disposal, the Coopers will not let you go for killing Franco. I assure you that you will not be leaving Jadeborough in one piece.”

Jared paid Sean’s threat no heed. The onlookers were stunned at the realization that Jared was the one who had killed Franco.

How brazen is he to have killed a member of the Cooper family and then strutted back to their turf!

By that point, many had developed an interest in Jared’s true identity. He is clearly somebody special to be able to provoke the Coopers by killing Franco, and for Samuel and Theodore to fawn over him in such a manner!

“If Franco’s death isn’t enough, I’ll be happy to send more Coopers to meet him,” Jared said with a sneer.

“How dare you!” Sean’s eyes widened as his knuckles crackled menacingly. If Theodore and Samuel weren’t there, I would have jumped on this little b*stard!

“You’ve got balls, kid. We’ll see how things go.” At that final threat, Sean turned around and disappeared into one of the rooms in the hall with the old man.

“Mr. Chance, this is Mr. Barnabus Holt, a geomancer under my employ.” Samuel made the introductions before turning to the wizened figure. “Mr. Holt, this is Mr. Chance.”

Barnabus did not even glance at Jared. “Is my service not sufficient for you, Mr. Baileys?” he said nonchalantly. “Why is a second opinion necessary?”

“You have mistaken, Mr. Holt,” Samuel clarified hastily. “Mr. Chance is only here to watch. Your expertise is still required, Mr. Holt.”

Though Jared was a cultivator, Samuel was certain that his guest was nowhere as experienced as Barnabus, who had spent years longer than Jared had been alive specializing in his craft.

“Hmm!” Barnabus grunted, seemingly satisfied by the explanation.
