“Who are you?” a guard questioned nervously when Theodore arrived with Jared at the entrance.
Theodore hurried forward and explained, “A pleasure to meet you. I'm Theodore Jackson, the general of the Department of Justice, and I'm here to meet Mr. Cadden.”
After carefully sizing the man up, the guard finally regained his poise and said, “So it's General Jackson. I'll report it right away.”
As soon as his words fell, he strode off, leaving Jared and Theodore waiting outside.
Meanwhile, Galen and Boris were in the living room, and opposite them was a man in his fifties, who had a squarish face and a burly physique.
That middle-aged man had a dignified and authoritative presence, possibly explaining why even Zaprington's wealthy businessman, Galen, and best mage, Boris, would behave so respectfully before him.
He was no other than the leader of Senary Porta, Jermaine Cadden, who had participated in many wars and won many accolades.
“Mr. Zane, Mr. Yonce, please forgive me for having my men inviting you over so suddenly,” Jermaine said politely.
“You're too kind, Mr. Cadden. It's our honor to be able to share your woes.” Galen was pleasantly surprised by the man's politeness.
Similarly, Boris also chimed in, “It's our honor that we're of use to you.
We will do our very best to help you out if there's a need.”
A smile instantly appeared on Jermaine's face. “Since you've said that, I won't hold back then. I suppose you should’ve heard that I have a son.
He has been bedridden for more than a year because of an injury. Mr. Yonce, I was hoping you could take a look at him to see if he could be cured...”
“Could you bring me over to your son so that I can check on his condition?” Boris asked courteously.
“Of course! Come with me then.” Jermaine nodded and prepared to take Boris and Galen to the bedroom.
At the same time, a guard walked in hastily and whispered something next to his ear.
