Chapter 676 Familiarize
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.
There was a lounge in the stadium where Xander was lying on a couch with his eyes closed. Sean and the Coopers also gathered there.
“Xander, you should not let him off too easily. Please teach Jared a lesson in the arena. Remember Franco and Gavin’s deaths?” Sean croaked while forcing a few tears to flow from the corner of his eyes.
“Are you telling me what to do?” Xander replied in a hostile tone with his eye still closed.
Immediately, his voice sent a chill down Sean’s spine, and the latter fervently shook his head. “Xander, I didn’t mean that…”
Since Xander became a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Sean feared him even more than before.
“Does Sylvester have any more news? Does the elder like the gift we sent this time?” Xander questioned.
“Sylvester mentioned that he was happy. Now that Sylvester has entered the ancestral hall, our family will finally have an immortal. I’m going to ask Sylvester to teach me how to be one. Then, we could marry tons of wives and have lots of sons. I guess no one in Jadeborough would dare challenge us anymore.”
Sean beamed with joy as he spoke.
Hearing what Sean said, Xander’s eyes flew open. He glared at Sean and spat, “Childish!”
At once, Sean trembled and said nothing more.
Seconds later, Jared and his supporters entered the lounge. He wanted to rest since it was not yet time for their match.
Seeing Jared appear before him, Sean turned livid and shot death glares in his direction.
Meanwhile, Xander calmly scanned the group that entered. When he spotted Samuel and Theodore behind Jared, he chuckled.
“I can’t believe the head of the Baileys and the General of Jadeborough’s Department of Justice is now someone else’s lackey. Isn’t your master a little too young?”
Xander’s jab at Samuel and Theodore did trigger them, and all they wanted to do was beat Xander into a pulp.
Despite so, they restrain themselves. After all, Xander was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even if they combined their powers and fought Xander together, they would not pose any threat to him. They might have the quantity, but one should not underestimate Xander’s martial prowess.
