Jared smiled to himself. The three most prominent families would surely keep mum when it came to things like that. Otherwise, others might want a piece of it too.
Now Jared knew why so many grandmasters had appeared in Salinsburgh all of a sudden. The three most prominent families must be gathering their forces.
In order for martial artists to attain the grandmaster level, they would need to spend huge sums of money to buy spiritual medicine as supplements. Unless they came from wealthy backgrounds, it would be very difficult for them to achieve a breakthrough.
Therefore, several martial artists had no choice but to work as guards for others. As their abilities increased, they were being paid more as well. Some of the business families would hire martial artists of high caliber as protection for their family members or properties. Such an arrangement would fulfill the needs of all parties involved.
The three prominent families must have offered extremely attractive incentives for so many grandmasters to come running to Salinsburgh.
Just as Jared and Dominic were having their meal, there was a commotion. They looked up and saw a girl dressed in a gown wearing huge sunglasses that covered half of her face. Only her pointed chin and tiny mouth were visible.
There were four bodyguards dressed in suits standing behind her. The moment they walked in, they scanned the place. All four of them looked serious and ready to fight.
Dominic's eyes lit up, and drool was about to come out of his mouth. “Oh my! Is that the superstar, Tessa?”
Jared looked at her and seemed enchanted for a moment. The gown that she was in showcased a good body proportion, in particular, her slim waist. Her fair feet were decked in a pair of high heels. She looked as if she had just stepped out of a painting.
One of her bodyguards called out, “Waiter, get us a private room!”
The waiter replied apologetically, “I'm sorry. All of the rooms have been taken. There are tables available only in the main dining room.”
