The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 586

The lack of response from Jermaine led to an awkward atmosphere around them that Jared quickly retracted his hand and chuckled lightly.

Theodore sensed the tension and immediately explained, “Mr. Cadden, Mr. Chance not only has superior medical skills but is also an expert in magecraft. That's why I've decided to invite him over!"

He knew Jermaine was doubtful of Jared's capabilities because of his young age.

Despite so, that was all that he could say since he had to refrain from divulging too much about Jared's identity as a cultivator in front of Galen and Boris.

“General Jackson, could it be that this lad here has bribed you to say all these? He's so young; how amazing can his medical skills and magecraft be? Even if he began cultivating his skills when he was still in his mother's womb, that'd only be twenty-odd years. But look at me; I've started practicing magecraft since young and am also pretty knowledgeable in medicine. That's totaling up to a few decades of hard work and experience, and even so, I wouldn't dare introduce myself that way. How could you have such high compliments for this young man?” Boris mocked while smiling sinisterly.

He had once encountered Jared using magecraft at the auction. Back then, as he had failed to see the young man as a threat, it gave the latter an opening to cast a sound transfer array on Galen, which ultimately led to the exposure of their scheme. Nonetheless, he did not think that incident was because of Jared's incredible magecraft. After all, sound transfer array was an easy technique that anybody could master within a few years of training.

Galen threw a disdainful look at Theodore as he questioned, “General Jackson, not everyone can give Mr. Cadden's son treatment as they wished. Who can afford to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong? Will you be able to shoulder that?”

In truth, he had long bore a hatred for Jared. Neither did he have a good impression of Theodore. However, he did not dare to be disrespectful toward Theodore since the latter was the general of the Department of Justice.

At least, that was the case in the past. As esteemed guests of Jermaine at present, Galen and Boris no longer felt compelled to be amicable toward Theodore. As a matter of fact, they were also confident that he would not dare to retaliate even if they were to insult him.

Theodore let out a cold snort. “Since I’m the one who brought Mr. Chance here, I'll be more than willing to bear all of the possible consequences.”

“Mr. Cadden, seeing as General Jackson is so confident, I believe there's no need for my presence then. You can seek medical help from that young lad called Jared or something. I'll take my leave first.”

As Boris spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.

It was his way of playing hard to get. By putting on that deliberate act, he would be able to test Jermaine's reaction.
