Shortly after, the coffee was served. Lachlan personally poured Jared a cup.
“Do try it, Mr. Chance.”
He gestured for the man to go ahead and sample the coffee, trying his best to remain calm.
I can’t give the game away at such a time!
“Thank you, Old Mr. Dunn.”
After thanking him, Jared picked up the cup and took a sip.
“Not bad, but I don’t know much about coffee,” Jared admitted in slight mortification.
“Haha, I’m no expert either. Since it’s not bad, drink more,” Lachlan boomed with a chuckle.
Picking up the cup, Jared downed it all.
At that moment, Lachlan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
Howard drank alongside Jared, but Lachlan didn’t bother stopping him.
He had the antidote, so it didn’t matter, even if his son drank it.
In no time, they had drunk and eaten. Feeling that it was almost time, Jared stood up to leave.
“Mr. Chance, the various martial arts families in the whole of Jadeborough currently have their sights set on you. If you don’t mind, just stay at the Dunn residence. You can keep Howard company!” Lachlan urged upon seeing that the man wanted to leave.
“Thank you for the offer, Old Mr. Dunn. However, I’ve still got many matters to handle, so I can only decline.”
Alas, Jared turned him down resolutely.
“Please wait for a moment, Mr. Chance. There’s still something I need to ask you!”
Having stopped the man from leaving, Lachlan turned to Howard and instructed, “Howard, your mom just called, asking you to go and pick her up. Hurry up and go!”
At that, Howard had no choice but to go and pick his mother up. He regarded Jared apologetically. “In that case, please excuse me, Jared.”
