Jared was a little irritated. The Coopers didn't come to Summerbank in Jazona to take revenge against him even though he had stayed in the city for seven days. In the end, Jared stopped waiting. He needed more resources to get spiritual energy.
Initially, Jared had planned to go with Tristan to Crescent Sect. Foreseeably, he had to halt his plan because of Franco’s death.
When he was showing Tommy and Phoenix some martial arts techniques, a guard came in hastily and reported, “Mr. Chance, General Long from the Department of Justice is here to see you!” “Anthony? Why does he want to see me?” Jared was startled. Ever since he declined Anthony's invitation to join the Department of Justice, they had never seen each other.
“Tell him to wait for me in the living room. I'll be there soon!”
Then, Jared glanced at Tommy and Phoenix and instructed, “You two can fight each other as practice. Don't be afraid of injuring the other; a martial arts master can only become strong via actual combat.”
“Understood!” Tommy and Phoenix nodded in response.
Anthony was sitting on the couch when Jared arrived in the living room.
He stood up immediately and greeted, “Mr. Chance, I'm sorry to bother you.”
“No problem, General Long. Is everything all right?” Jared flashed him a faint smile.
“A prominent figure is now in a coffee shop on West Street and would like to meet you. I hope you can go with me,” Anthony said politely.
Jared was stunned for a while. Since Anthony came in-person to invite Jared, he believed that person was immensely prominent. Besides, Jared thought he was probably a high-level bureaucrat like Anthony.
However, he wasn't interested in befriending or joining them since they would restrain him from doing the things he liked.
“General Long, I'm so sorry. I'm in the middle of something and can't leave now...” Jared declined Anthony's invitation politely.
“In that case, when will you be available?” Anthony refused to give up.
“I won't be available in these few days!” Jared replied.
