A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 874

Chapter 874 The Right Bet

At that moment, all Jared wanted was to keep improving himself. The enemies I meet are all getting stronger now. If I don’t improve myself, how am I supposed to protect the ones close to me, let alone save my mother?

Also, Jared no longer felt uneasiness about using the Focus Technique to absorb martial energy in front of the others anymore.

Walter failed to calm himself down as he looked at Jared. How did he manage to improve so rapidly within a few months’ time? At first, he was still relying on me to protect him. I doubt that’s the case now, though. I think he’s already surpassed me in terms of abilities and status by now.

At the same time, Samuel was also utterly astonished. It seems like I’ve made the right bet when I placed the Bailey family’s future in Jared’s hands. Not only were Hayden and Declan both Martial Arts Grandmasters, but they were also famous figures. Now that Jared has killed both of them, his abilities are proven to be on another level!

With those thoughts in mind, Samuel had decided that the Bailey family would support Jared from then on.

“Mr. Grange, could you please get some people to deal with that?” Jared pointed at Hayden’s corpse and asked.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Chance. I’ll get people to settle it right away,” Walter answered and waved his hand to get people to carry Hayden’s corpse away. After that, he asked softly, “Mr. Chance, where’s Lizbeth?”

Since it was Thanksgiving soon, Walter was wondering about Lizbeth’s whereabouts because she was supposed to return alongside Jared.

“Mr. Grange, Lizbeth is cultivating with Josephine and Mr. Deragon. Although I don’t know where they are exactly, I’m sure Lizbeth is fine. Don’t worry, Mr. Grange,” Jared explained.

“Oh, I’m not worried. It’s just that I haven’t seen her in a while, and I’m starting to miss her.” Walter smiled.

He knew Jared wasn’t an ordinary man. So if one were to follow Jared around, traveling around the world was inevitable. Despite that, Walter never worried too much about Lizbeth since she was following Jared around.

A while later, Theodore and Tristan had returned with the snake’s carcass. Since they were both covered in blood, they looked rather disheveled.

Knowing that Josephine might not go home, Jared wanted to visit William.

When Jared arrived at the Sullivan residence, William was sitting alone in the courtyard with a cup of tea in his hand. He looks so lonely, and he has more white hair now.

“Mr. Sullivan!” Jared called out.

William was stunned momentarily before a surprised look flashed across his face. “Jared, you’re back?”

William quickly got up and went to welcome him. He then noticed Jared had come alone after looking out the door. Curious, he asked, “Jared, where’s Josephine? Did she not come home with you?”

“Mr. Sullivan, Josephine has something to deal with, so she won’t be coming back. I’ve come to see you, instead!” Jared felt a little sad when he saw how much William had aged.
