The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 44

After going into the hotel, Jared texted Tommy and told him to give Yoel the boot. He didn't want to dine with the latter, nor did he want the Scott family to know about his identity. In truth, he wanted to see how much longer Leyton and Sandy could provoke him.

In the hotel, everyone surrounded Walter with deferential expressions on their faces.

Some of them were even aware of his penchant for collecting antiques, so they had searched high and low for rare antiques as a gift for him that day.

No sooner had his words fallen than his phone buzzed. When he saw that it was a

message from Jared, he showed it to Walter.

After scanning through it, Walter nodded lightly. “No wonder he hasn't made an appearance yet. It turns out that there's such a reason behind it. It was my oversight.”

Upon saying that, he cast his gaze at Yoel in the near distance. Right that moment, Yoel was also anticipating the appearance of the young man Walter spoke of.
