The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 64

Franklin lived in Phoenix Garden, which was a famous residential area in Horington. As houses there cost at least a million or more, it was a place out of reach for ordinary folks.

“Jared, when we arrive, remember to be nice and behave respectfully. After all, we are asking him for help. Considering your situation, it's not easy to get a job, as most companies are unwilling to hire exconvicts. Hence, you have to be aware of...”

In the car, Hannah kept nagging Jared, worried that he would make a mistake.

Turning around from the front passenger seat, Gary put a stop to it. “Enough. There's no need to keep harping on it. So what if he has gone to prison before? Does it mean that he is of questionable character? I have been friends with Franklin for a long time, so this isn't going to be an issue.”

He was concerned that Hannah's nagging would exasperate Jared, especially when it came to his time in prison. After all, it wasn't his fault that he ended up there.

“Since both of you are so close, why didn't he come and see you over the last few years? It's not like you're unaware of how much we have suffered recently.”

Hannah was upset. When Jared was in prison, their livelihoods were severely affected. Even then, Franklin was nowhere to be seen.

“Stop blaming him, as I have never told him about it, and neither does he know where we stay. Anyway, both of us have gone through a lot together. Back then, when there was a stray grenade during training, I dived and tackled him to the ground, or else he wouldn't even be alive today.”

Gary's pride mattered a lot to him, especially since he was a squad leader back then. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to reveal his situation to his former comrades.

If it wasn't because Jared needed a job, he wouldn't even have sought Franklin's help.

“Mom, you know what kind of person Dad is. Once we're there, I know what I should be mindful of. When I start making money from my job, our family's circumstances will definitely improve,” Jared reassured Hannah.

Even though Jared had ten million in his pocket, he couldn't tell his parents about it, as there was no way he could explain it. Even if he had told them the truth, they wouldn't believe him, since his experience in prison over the last three years was just too bizarre.
