Chapter 37


    “Dad, that b*stard—”


    “Shut up!” Before Leyton could finish, Yoel shot him a fearsome re, frightening him into silence.


    “Mr. Scott, I know Jared very well because we were together in university. He doesn''t have any sort of


    background or support. His dad used to be a government servant but became a street cleaner after he


    was sacked. So, don''t let him frighten you,” Sandy exined while straightening her clothes.


    “You know sh*t!” Yoel shot her a cold nce. “You stupid b*tch! If not for you, Leyton wouldn''t be in this


    condition. You''re nothing but a jinx!”


    Yoel stormed off the moment he finished. In truth, he had objected to their wedding as he felt that


    Sandy''s family wasn''t up to his standards. Unfortunately, Sandy somehow managed to bewitch Leyton


    to the extent of getting him to marry her.


    Sandy''s face purpled in anger after being scolded by Yoel. Nheless, she didn''t dare say a word of


    protest. This was the price she had to pay for marrying into a rich family.


    “Damn that Jared! I''ll never forgive him!” Sandy hissed through her clenched teeth after Yoel was gone.


    She didn''t dare offend Yoel or Leyton. Hence, her only option was to vent her frustrations on Jared.


    Back at Walter''s vi, he, Tommy, and Jared were drinking happily together. They had enjoyed each


    other''spany throughout the entire lunch.


    Everyone present was envious of Jared for being able to share the table with such illustrious men

    despite his young age.


    “Mr. Chance, today''s meal is just a casual one. But tomorrow, I n to hold a feast at mor Hotel,


    where I''ll be inviting distinguished guests from both the political and business establishments of


    Horington. During the dinner, I''ll sing your praises!” Walter dered proudly.


    Walter''s intention was clear. He wanted to open doors for Jared in the city. After the banquet, no one in


    Horington would ever dare mess with Jared again.


    Despite how generous the invitation was, Jared intended to reject it. He wanted to keep a low profile


    and focus on his training instead. After all, his aim was to wait for the fifteenth of July.


    Before he could respond, Tommy preempted him, “In that case, I would like to thank you, Mr. Grange,


    on behalf of Mr. Chance. Your rmendation will be of significant assistance to Mr. Chance''s affairs


    in Horington.”


    Since Tommy had taken the liberty of epting the offer for him, Jared didn''t say another word.


    Instead, he nodded slightly.


    “You tter me, Mr. Grange.”


    After chatting a while longer, Jared and Tommy finally left.


    “My Lord, please forgive me for epting the invitation on your behalf. Although the Temr Regiment


    is expanding rapidly, we''ve hit a teau outside of Horington. Moreover, many other factions are


    eyeing our turf. Therefore, we''re left with no choice but to strengthen ourwork further,” Tommy


    exined his actions softly in the car.


    Jared was caught by surprise. “Aren''t you the absolute authority in Horington? Is there someone out


    there trying to challenge you?”


    Jared didn''t understand why Tommy felt threatened. Based on his understanding, no one other than the


    political elite dared to touch him.


    Tommy replied in an embarrassed tone, “My Lord, those are just the assumptions of ordinary folk.


    Other than us, there are other factions in Horington, such as the Crimson Dragon Gang and the Moon


    Sect. This doesn''t even include the lesser factions around. The Crimson Dragon Gang and the Temr


    Regiment are mortal enemies. Every year, both sides will suffer casualties from their struggle against


    each other. However, their gang leader, Steven Fisher, managed to learn the Imprable Skill from


    somewhere.


    Hence, I''m afraid I''m no longer his match.”


    Staring at Tommy, Jared could see that times had been tough for him over thest few years. Despite


    how morous he looked in the eyes of others, it was nothing but appearances. In truth, people like


    him faced danger every single day of their lives.


    “If anyone causes you trouble, just let me know,” Jared stated.


    Given that the Temr Regiment was subordinate to him, there was no way he would ignore their


    troubles.


    Tommy was delighted. “Based on what you just said, I''m no longer afraid of anything. With you at the


    forefront, no one will dare stand in your way, let alone someone like Steven.”


    Having seen how Jared annihted the nine vengeful dragons, Tommy was so impressed that he


    utterly worshipped Jared.


    Surprised at how adept Tommy was at ttery, Jared broke into a smile.
