Chapter 874 The Right Bet


    At that moment, all Jared wanted was to keep improving himself. The enemies I meet are all getting


    stronger now. If I don’t improve myself, how am I supposed to protect the ones close to me, let alone


    save my mother?


    Also, Jared no longer felt uneasiness about using the Focus Technique to absorb martial energy in


    front of the others anymore.


    Walter failed to calm himself down as he looked at Jared. How did he manage to improve so rapidly


    within a few months’ time? At first, he was still relying on me to protect him. I doubt that’s the case now,


    though. I think he’s already surpassed me in terms of abilities and status by now.


    At the same time, Samuel was also utterly astonished. It seems like I’ve made the right bet when I


    ced the Bailey family’s future in Jared’s hands. Not only were Hayden and Den both Martial Arts


    Grandmasters, but they were also famous figures. Now that Jared has killed both of them, his abilities


    are proven to be on another level!


    With those thoughts in mind, Samuel had decided that the Bailey family would support Jared from then


    on.


    “Mr. Grange, could you please get some people to deal with that?” Jared pointed at Hayden’s corpse


    and asked.


    “Don’t worry, Mr. Chance. I’ll get people to settle it right away,” Walter answered and waved his hand to


    get people to carry Hayden’s corpse away. After that, he asked softly, “Mr. Chance, where’s Lizbeth?”


    Since it was Thanksgiving soon, Walter was wondering about Lizbeth’s whereabouts because she was


    supposed to return alongside Jared.


    “Mr. Grange, Lizbeth is cultivating with Josephine and Mr. Deragon. Although I don’t know where they


    are exactly, I’m sure Lizbeth is fine. Don’t worry, Mr. Grange,” Jared exined.


    “Oh, I’m not worried. It’s just that I haven’t seen her in a while, and I’m starting to miss her.” Walter


    smiled.


    He knew Jared wasn’t an ordinary man. So if one were to follow Jared around, traveling around the


    world was inevitable. Despite that, Walter never worried too much about Lizbeth since she was


    following Jared around.


    A whileter, Theodore and Tristan had returned with the snake’s carcass. Since they were both


    covered in blood, they looked rather disheveled.


    Walter was shocked when he saw the state those two were in.


    Samuel, who was standing aside, was taken aback as well. “Tristan, what happened?”


    Samuel was so worried that he instantly checked Tristan’s body for injuries.


    “I’m fine, Grandpa! This snake meat is good stuff!” Tristan then told Samuel and Walter about how


    Jared killed the snake. Upon hearing that, both of them were staring at Jared in utter shock.


    “General Jackson, would you mind staying in Horington for two more days? I’ll apany you back to


    Jadeborough after Thanksgiving,” Jared suggested to Theodore.


    “Sure, Mr. Chance! I’ll wait for you in Horington.” Theodore nodded.


    After leaving Walter’s house, Jared went to the Sullivan residence instead of going home.


    Knowing that Josephine might not go home, Jared wanted to visit William.


    When Jared arrived at the Sullivan residence, William was sitting alone in the courtyard with a cup of


    tea in his hand. He looks so lonely, and he has more white hair now.


    “Mr. Sullivan!” Jared called out.

    William was stunned momentarily before a surprised look shed across his face. “Jared, you’re back?”


    William quickly got up and went to wee him. He then noticed Jared hade alone after looking


    out the door. Curious, he asked, “Jared, where’s Josephine? Did she note home with you?”


    “Mr. Sullivan, Josephine has something to deal with, so she won’t being back. I’vee to see


    you, instead!” Jared felt a little sad when he saw how much William had aged.
