A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687 A Respected Predecessor

Theodore hurried forward and greeted respectfully, “I’m surprised to see you here, Mr. Knox. It’s indeed an honor.”

“You have flattered me, General Jackson. I just popped by out of curiosity.” Axton smiled plainly.

“Mr. Knox…”

At that moment, Samuel and Xander took turns to greet him with deference.

When everyone saw the respect accorded to Axton by the big shots, they quickly made way for him, for they were unable to bear the overwhelming pressure emanating from him.

After giving Axton and Donald a glance, Jared asked in an indifferent tone, “Are both of you planning to get involved?”

“Mr. Chance, this is Mr. Axton Knox of the Medicine God Sect. The Medicine God Sect is—”

When Theodore sensed Jared’s hostility toward Axton, he quickly introduced Axton and explained who he was.

However, before he finished, Axton waved for him to stop. He remarked with a chuckle, “General Jackson, no introductions are needed. Jared and I know each other.”

His words stunned Theodore and Samuel, who wondered when Jared had gotten to know Axton.

As for Xander, a sense of dread crept into him upon learning the same.

If Jared truly knew Axton and was on good terms with him, the Cooper family would no longer dare to touch him going forward.

Elated by what he heard, Xander bellowed at Jared, “Precisely. Mr. Knox has achieved the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster a long time ago. Even I have to greet him as one of my seniors. Hence, do you actually think you’re a match for him? Furthermore, the Medicine God Sect is famous for alchemy. How is it possible that you have something that they want to steal from you? Obviously, you’re just making baseless accusations.”

As long as he could get Axton to take his side, he no longer had anything to fear from Jared. Moreover, Jared would be doomed if he was to make an enemy of the Medicine God Sect.

At that moment, Sean looked at Jared as if he was an idiot, wondering if the latter was just faking it when he offended the men from the Medicine God Sect.

“Mr. Chance, this must be a misunderstanding. Mr. Knox would definitely not do something like that.”

Samuel desperately gave Jared a knowing look.

Oblivious to it, Jared sneered, “By trespassing into my mansion at night, their true objectives couldn’t be any more obvious.”
