At the hotel lobby, Jesse was pacing around nervously.
The minute he spotted Jared, he immediately dashed toward the latter. “Mr. Chance, are you okay? Are you alright?”
“I'm fine. What's wrong?” Jared asked with a look of confusion.
“That's great!” Jesse let out a relieved exhale. “The head of Herb Palace is an overbearing person. I was worried that they might hurt you.”
Jared smiled at his concern. “No one can hurt me. Just go to sleep.”
Jared reached for the boosting pill in his pocket and tossed it towardjesse. “You'll likely be the champion for the Martial Arts Gathering if you take this!”
Jesse glanced at the pill, not taking it seriously. Instead, he asked with disbelief, “Are you not planning to participate, Mr. Chance? I heard the prize for the champion was a hundred-year-old herb.”
Jared shook his head. “No, I won't be partaking this time. I have to give you some hope.”
Jared had intended to join at first, but now that he had his eyes on all the herbs from Herb Palace. A hundred-year-old herb meant nothing to him anymore.
Excitement crossed Jesse's face. “Thank you, Mr. Chance!”
Jesse thought Jared surrendered the champion title to him by doing so.
