The Man's Decree novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 A Curse

“Mr. Chance, I didn’t know it was you. If I did, I wouldn’t have accepted the job!”

At the sight of Jared, all Felix could do was lower himself and apologize.

“Do you know me?” Jared furrowed his brows.

Felix smiled awkwardly. “I saw you at Mr. Grange’s banquet where you defeated our leader.”

“Since you know I’m the one who beat Steven up, shouldn’t you be exacting your revenge? Why are you still being so courteous?” Jared was puzzled. All this while, the Templar Regiment and the Crimson Dragon Gang were at odds with each other. Given that he had beaten up their leader, he should have been treated as the enemy.

Instead, Felix was so respectful to him that it bordered upon being sycophantic.

“Mr. Chance, you must be kidding. Considering how capable you are, I would need to have a death wish before revenge crosses my mind,” Felix explained candidly.

Smiling, Jared was surprised by Felix’s frankness and how he savvily maneuvered around the situation.

“In that case, can you now tell me who wants me dead?” Jared asked.

“Xavier, he paid me a million to do it.” Felix didn’t dare hide the truth. The rules no longer mattered when his life was now at risk.

Jared snickered in response, as his suspicions were spot on.

After Jared was gone, Felix realized that he was drenched in sweat.

“Mr. Lawson, was our leader really defeated by that man? He looks way too young,” one of the burly men asked in astonishment.

Felix’s expression turned grim. “Tell the men that no one is to touch that b*stard until our leader is back.”

“Understood!” After nodding in acknowledgment, the four burly men went off to spread the word.

Meanwhile, back in the private room, Xavier and the others were drinking jubilantly. Both he and Zayne were particularly delighted to see Jared being led away.
