However, not everyone was as composed as Samuel. In particular, Walter and William looked anxious. They knew how formidable Jared was but did not know his true identity.
“Dad, what are all of you doing here?” Josephine probed.
She and Lizbeth had rushed over only to see the group of them waiting outside the mansion.
“Jared is still sleeping, and we are afraid to disturb him,” William explained.
“What? How could he still be sleeping so peacefully when he has a big fight in a few hours!”
Josephine's loud voice woke Jared up from his slumber.
“Ms. Sullivan-” Walter quickly interrupted Josephine. “Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Chance knows he has an important event ahead. That is precisely why we should let him sleep in and recharge.”
Since it made sense to Josephine, she quietly backed away.
Despite so, Jared walked out of the mansion with a yawn minutes later.
He froze when he saw all of them gathered outside waiting for him. Seeing so many of them there, he wondered how he managed to sleep through, unaware of their presence.
“What are all you doing here so early in the morning? Isn't the match in the afternoon?” Jared was curious.
“Mr. Chance, there are already many people gathered in the stadium. It might be good if you familiarize yourself with the arena first.”
Samuel was first to speak up.
“I see. Let me wash up then. All of you can take a seat in the meantime.”
After he washed up, everyone headed to the stadium with him.
When Jared arrived, he was shocked to see how packed the stadium was. His eyes widened at the sight as he did not expect so many martial artists to gather here to watch the battle between him and Xander. Some even traveled a long distance to witness the fight.
