A Man Like None Other - Season 5 Episode 20

It was only then that Jared realized why William had asked hinı if he had encountered any problems.

“Jared, you are underestimating the Sullivan family. Although five billion is a lot of money, it didn’t just come from the sale of my assets. In fact, a lot of it actually belongs to you, such as the proceeds from the sale of the revitalizing pills. Also, since everyone is aware of your relationship with Josephine, many businesses approached us for collaboration. Hence, those projects made us a lot of money too.

“Also, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to take over the Scott family’s businesses at a low price. Therefore, you should take the money, as you deserve all of it. If it isn’t enough, we’ll think of another way. After all, we are family,” William explained to Jared.

Warmed by William’s gesture, Jared nodded as he kept up the bank card. At that moment, he had gathered enough money to pay Herb Palace.

When he saw Jared accept the money, William broke into a smile and continued, “Now that you’re back, both of you should get some rest, as there will be a banquet at Glamor Hotel tonight. Mr. Grange and Mr. Lowe wanted to hold a dinner in your honor when they heard of your return. Also, there’re plenty of tycoons in Horington who can’t wait to ingratiate themselves with you.”

Jared smiled wryly. In truth, he didn’t enjoy attending such events. However, since it was on Walter and Glen’s invitation, he agreed to attend out of respect for them. After all, both of them had done him many favors.

When William invited Jared to rest at the Sullivan residence, Jared declined. He preferred to return to Dragon Bay which was richer in spiritual energy. Ever since he had achieved Foundation Phase, he didn’t get a chance to cultivate his strength.

Subsequently, William instructed Josephine to return with Jared. Right before they left, William reminded, “Josephine, you have to take good care of him. Also, I’m not someone conservative. Therefore, I’m looking forward to both of you having a child so that I can spend my time playing with my grandchild.”

“Dad, what are you saying? We aren’t even married yet. How can you say such things to your daughter?”

Blushing in embarrassment, Josephine glared at William.

“That’s no problem at all. Both of you should get registered tomorrow, and I’ll organize the grandest wedding Horington has ever seen!” William suggested with a smile.

“I’m not going to continue this topic with you.”

As Josephine left with Jared in tow, William burst into hearty laughter while watching them go.

Having spent a long time on the road, Josephine was exhausted upon returning to Dragon Bay. While she lay down to rest, Jared transferred his money to Phoenix and ordered her to purchase the herbs as soon as possible.

After that, Jared sat down with his legs crossed and began his cultivation training. Ever since he was elevated to Foundation Phase, his demand for spiritual energy continued to increase.

Just when he started training, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Phoenix,

Once the call connected, Phoenix’s anxious voice rang out. “My Lord, something terrible has happened. All our subordinates within the Jantz family mansion are dead!”

“When did it happen?” Jared furrowed his brows.

“I think it happened in the morning. I made a mistake by not checking then. By the time I found out, they were already dead,” Phoenix explained, blaming herself for what happened.

As a result, Jared’s expression darkened. Even though he had returned, he had left some men behind to watch the Jantz family mansion. But now, all of those men had been killed.

“Do we know who did it? Could it have been Derek or a member of Crescent Sect? Or perhaps, someone else altogether?” Jared asked.

“I’m not sure. Nevertheless, since the perpetrator failed to find you there, he will definitely head over to Horington. My Lord, you have to be on your guard!” Phoenix reminded Jared.

“All right, I understand.” Jared ended the call after that.

Subsequently, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. I will definitely show those who stood in my way no mercy!
