A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885 Irresponsible

“Sure!” Jared agreed without any hesitation.

He continued chatting with Theodore for a while, but the latter knew how exhausting traveling could be and soon told him to get some rest.

Unfortunately, Theodore had only just stepped out of the room to make his way to the martial arts arena when Shane rushed toward him. “General, Wrea’s stirring up trouble in the arena. He and a group of people have stopped training.”

“What’s going on? And what on earth is Wrea up to now? Haven’t I already made him an instructor?” Theodore grumbled, his brow knitted into a frown.

“I’m not sure either, but in any case, please hurry over and take a look…” Shane urged.

Theodore sighed and made a beeline for the martial arts arena. As it turned out, the Shalvis family had used their connections to get Wrea into the Department of Justice to make themselves look good. However, even though Wrea was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he was so arrogant and conceited that barely anyone in the department liked him.

To make matters worse, Wrea knew he had powerful backers and never once bothered to show Theodore an ounce of respect. He was also a lot stronger than the latter, thus making him even cockier in the Department of Justice.

Theodore eventually made Wrea an instructor, hoping he could become more grounded through training others. Alas, Wrea only managed a few days of good behavior before reverting to his old, problematic self.

As soon as he arrived at the martial arts arena, Theodore saw Wrea sitting atop a table with a beer in one hand and half a roast chicken in the other. He ate and drank to his heart’s content, not at all fazed by the attention he was getting.

The Department of Justice had rules, and one of those forbade members from consuming alcohol. With Wrea intentionally breaking that rule by drinking in front of everyone else, it only went to show how much he didn’t care for Theodore.

Naturally, Theodore was furious. “Wrea Shalvis, what the hell are you doing?” he scolded. “How dare you drink in the martial arts arena!”

An international competition was for candidates to bring glory to their respective countries, yet all Wrea cared about was his own family.

“I already have a candidate in mind for the international competition. As for the instructor position, I’m dismissing you with immediate effect. Mr. Chance will take over from now on…” Theodore said coldly.

Upon hearing that, Wrea flew into a rage. “Theodore Jackson, are you out of your mind? Don’t you care about the training quality at all? It’s highly irresponsible of you to put a young, ignorant punk in charge of training everyone here! Who the hell is going to listen to a kid?”

Soon, everyone else started chattering among themselves. “I heard General Jackson personally went to Horington to invite this instructor to join us. He’s just a young fellow in his early twenties, though. With that many years of cultivation, how skilled can he be?”

“Exactly! What the hell is General thinking about, anyway? Why would he even think of sending the kid to the competition?”
