The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 419

Under Josephine's intense scrutiny, Jared couldn't help but feel exasperated. Sometimes, I genuinely can't understand what's going through a woman's mind.

“I was just curious as to why she isn't here to keep you company,” Jared explained.

“Lizbeth has her work to attend to. She can't possibly keep me company every day. She has been skipping work for the past few days to stay with me. Have you handled all your matters in Summerbank? Why don't we return to Horington tomorrow? I feel ill at ease leaving my dad alone at home,” Josephine said bitterly.

When Jared heard this, a slight frown graced his forehead. Since he hadn't accumulated enough money and was yet to get his hands on the medicinal herbs he was reluctant to leave Summerbank so soon. Additionally, Jared planned to drop by the Martial Arts Gathering that would be taking place next week.

“Oh, if you still have things to settle, we can remain here for a few more days. I was simply making a suggestion,” Josephine hastily added when she noticed the troubled look that marred Jared's face.

Smiling, he voiced, “It's all right. I can take you back to Horington tomorrow. However, I won’t be staying there for long as I still have unfinished business here.”

After careful consideration, Jared decided that it would be a good idea to send Josephine back to Horington. She'll be much safer there. If she remains in Summerbank, the members of the Crescent Sect and the Fergusons might come looking for trouble.

Okay.” Josephine nodded in agreement.

At the break of dawn, Jared contacted Phoenix and transferred all of his money to her. He also pled for her help in delaying the payment to Herb Palace. After repeated assurances that he would pay up the rest soon, Jared hung up the call and prepared to set off.

When Tommy caught wind of Jared and Josephine's plans to return to Horington, he quickly drove to pick them up.

“Tommy, there's no need for you to go back with us. You should look for a reliable person to assist you in organizing Templar Regiment.” As Jared was aware of Tommy and Phoenix's budding relationship, he wanted them to spend more time together.

When Tommy caught onto Jared's implication, a faint blush dusted his cheeks. “Mr. Chance, I have personal plans to handle some matters regarding Templar Regiment as well. I'll tag along when you return to Summerbank.”

Jared merely smiled in reply and said nothing more.

Hence, Tommy drove Jared and Josephine back to Horington.

It was already evening when they arrived at Horington. Instead of visiting Dragon Bay, Jared and

Josephine made a beeline for the Sullivan residence.
