A Man Like None Other - Season 6 Episode 18

Background Check

A shiver ran down Elias’ spine when Jared glanced at him. He couldn’t help but feel that he had seen the abyss of hell the moment he met the latter’s gaze.

“Back off!”

After Theodore scolded Elias, the young man’s face turned cold with a hint of anger. Nonetheless, he obediently took a few steps back to stand behind Theodore.

Deep down, Elias felt embarrassed because he shivered when Jared shot him a cold glance. As his temper flared up, he stared at Jared with his piercingly sharp gaze.

“General Long, sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve just finished my work,” Jared said to Anthony indifferently.

“Mr. Chance, I’ve mentioned him to you before. He is—”

Theodore immediately stood up and introduced himself. “I’m Theodore Jackson, General of the Department of Justice in Jadeborough. It’s my honor to meet you, a man who has made remarkable achievements at such a young age.”

Jared was a little shocked, for he didn’t expect that the guest was a prominent figure from the Department of Justice in Jadeborough.

Deep down, he knew that the Department of Justice in Jadeborough was a powerful department that could command all Departments of Justice nationwide. For instance, Anthony, who was from the Department of Justice in Summerbank, Jazona, was considered Theodore’s low-level subordinate.

“General Jackson, I’m flattered.” Jared put on a faint smile.

Theodore added smilingly, “Not at all. You’re the first person courageous enough to kill the eldest son of the Coopers in Jadeborough. You probably killed Franco because you weren’t sure how powerful the Coopers were in Jadeborough. Nonetheless, I’m impressed by your audacity at such a young age!”

Meanwhile, Jared frowned upon hearing it. “Are you here for the Coopers?”

“Bullsh*t! How can the Coopers ever get General Jackson’s help—” Elias interrupted coldly.

However, Theodore waved his hand, gesturing for Elias to stop talking. Then, he laughed and continued, “I won’t be triggered just because of Franco’s death. On the contrary, I’m here for you because I don’t want to see young talent die immaturely.”

Even though Jared knew what Theodore was talking about, he replied indifferently, “I don’t think I’m in danger because I’ve killed Franco. All the more so, I’m not worried about the Coopers.”

The rest thought he was overly arrogant.

Elias shot Jared a disdainful look and said, “Brat, you have no idea about how powerful the Coopers are. They have at least ten Grandmasters and a suicide squad called The Fearsome Four. Besides, Xander, the head of the Cooper family, is now in solitary training. Rumor has it that he is now on the seventh level of Grandmaster. I’m afraid anyone whom they send is capable of crushing you.”

After Elias finished, Jared slowly turned to him and said coldly, “You think the Coopers are strong because you’re weak.”

“You…” Elias was irritated and wanted to throw a punch at Jared.

Nonetheless, Theodore stopped him and said, “Mr. Chance, I know that you’ve gotten your fame in Summerbank by killing Zachariah. Besides, you also killed Derek and defeated Franco in the Martial Arts Gathering. Everyone from Jazona and Nuthana was impressed. Even the Baileys wish to reach out to you. However, remember that Chanaea is a vast country, and Jazona is only a part of it. Those who stick their necks out will always be targeted. When Xander returns from his training, I’m afraid that even the Baileys can hardly protect you.”

Theodore was advising Jared, yet one could sense his threatening tone.

“Did you do a background check on me?” Jared frowned as his expression turned cold.

“Background check?” Theodore flashed him a smile and continued, “Do I have to do that to get the information I need?”

“Just tell me why you’re here today!” Jared wasn’t interested in beating around the bush with Theodore anymore.

“All right. I hope you can join the Department of Justice. After all, every citizen has the responsibility of protecting the country. You can contribute a lot to your motherland at such a young age. I can give you the best treatment once you agree to join us. Besides, I’ll protect you and stop the Coopers from creating trouble even though you’ve killed Franco. What do you think?”
