“I have told you that you are unworthy, but you chose not to trust my words...” Jared grumbled casually.
Witnessing the drama firsthand, everyone gaped in astonishment. Landon's jaw dropped so wide that one could fit an egg into it.
At first, everyone thought that Jared was just acting cool, trying to be ahead of himself. Never in a million years would they had expected Jared to be the real deal! His impudence stemmed from his true capabilities.
“Hey, punk! How dare you hurt my disciple? So what if you had taken Zachariah's life? Since Fred is unworthy, then let me take his place and have a head-to-head battle with you.”
Lionel turned livid when he heard his beloved disciple shrieking in pain.
Unstirred, Jared shot him a cold stare and repeated his standard line, “You're unworthy too!
“What? Such insolence and arrogance!”
The murderous intent in Lionel's eyes intensified.
Seeing so, Jesse hurried over to prop Fred up. Then, he pleaded pitifully, “Please, Mr. Chance, don't be furious. For my sake, please...”
“If it wasn't on your account, he would not just be losing an arm,” Jared uttered.
“Thank you, Mr. Chance. Thank you...” Jesse expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and he assisted Fred to walk back to Lionel.
“Mr. Cohen, please don't be angry. Mr. Chance is...” Jesse tried his best to pacify his mentor.
“Get lost!” Lionel roared rudely. He glared at Jared and declared, “You broke one of Fred's arms. In return, I shall disable both of your limbs!”
“Be my guest.”
Jared looked Lionel in the eyes, causing the latter to shudder in trepidation.
His gaze is indifferent as if we're all insects to him. There's not the slightest trace of emotion in his eyes.
“Let's see!” Lionel agreed.
