The Man's Decree novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496 Hardly In A Position For Heroics

“Ah—” the visibly shaken Tessa squealed in panic. “Help, Jared. Save me…”

She could only turn to Jared at this moment, for she knew his strength well!

“Let her go!” Jared said steadily.

“Hardly in a position for heroics when you can scarcely save your own hide. Wouldn’t you agree, kiddo?” said the scoffing Isaiah as he regarded Jared.

Ignoring him, Jared turned to Jayden instead. “Give me half of this vein mine, and I’ll save your daughter, as well as rid you of the Fergusons!”

The snootiness and casualness of his inflection made it sound as though eliminating the Fergusons was a triviality unworthy even of mention.

Stunned, Jayden looked at him, seemingly at a loss.

“Do you even know what you are saying here, brat? Rid him of the Fergusons? Aren’t you worried about being made to chew on your own words?” Isaiah howled at Jared in displeasure.

He was not convinced that Jared possessed the ability to follow through on that, for he was buoyed further by Bruce’s presence and had no cause for fear.

“Have you come to a decision yet, Jayden?” Jared continued.

Jayden had an awful look, caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he were to accede to Jared’s request and should the latter prove to be more bluster than he was worth by getting himself killed, all the Snyder family would have to contend with the fate of total eradication.

However, were he to refuse, Jayden could not live with himself seeing Tessa sullied at the hands of Isaiah either.

“Aside from turning to me, do you have any other options? Do not pin your hopes on other people’s good conscience!” sneered Jared when he saw Jayden’s trepidation.

“Come on, Dad. Agree to his terms…” Tessa wailed away. Though she understood her father’s reservations, she had seen Jared catch a bullet in mid-flight with her own very eyes. That was not something any average person could muster!

“Mr. Chance’s capability goes beyond what your eyes can perceive, Mr. Snyder!” advised Dominic who, by this point, could not allow himself to be sidetracked by other distractions.
