The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 227

“Why are you here, Jared?”

Juliette frowned upon spotting Jared. After Warrick and the others were beaten up by the man back then, she had been practicing much more restraint.

“Oh, we bumped into him outside, so we invited him to join us! We're all former classmates, and we know him anyway!” Leroy interjected with a smile.

Only then did everyone notice Jared, who was standing behind Leroy. As they clocked his dressing, disdain showed in their eyes.

Only one man shot to his feet and exclaimed excitedly, “When did you get out, Jared?”

It was clear as day that he also knew about Jared's incarceration.

“Virgil? You're here as well?”

Jared was likewise a touch surprised at the sight of the man.

That man was Virgil Hancock. He was also

Jared's former classmate, and they were even from the same dorm. As such, their relationship was pretty close.

Back during university, Virgil often helped Jared out financially though he wasn't from an affluent family. Therefore, Jared didn't expect him to attend the class reunion this time. After all, the current class reunion had already changed in nature. They were hosted by those who were loaded and used to flaunt their wealth.

“It's been several years since we've last seen each other! I missed you so much! Quick, come and have a seat!”

Dragging Jared over to the seat beside him, Virgil asked animatedly, “Why didn't you tell me that you've been released from prison, Jared? I could've thrown a celebration for you!”

“I've only been out for a few days, and that'll be too troublesome, so I didn't bother you.”

A faint smile bloomed on Jared's face, and his mood improved significantly. Initially, he only agreed to attend the class reunion with Leroy to see how materialistic his former classmates were before proving their assumption of him wrong. But at the sight of Virgil, he felt that he had indeed made the right decision.

“How inauspicious to dine with an exconvict at the same table!” someone grumbled in a whisper.
