Chapter 586 Escort The Guests Out
The lack of response from Jermaine led to an awkward atmosphere around them that Jared quickly retracted his
hand and chuckled lightly.
Theodore sensed the tension and immediately explained, “Mr. Cadden, Mr. Chance not only has superior medical
skills but is also an expert in magecraft. That’s why I’ve decided to invite him over!”
He knew Jermaine was doubtful of Jared’s capabilities because of his young age.
Despite so, that was all that he could say since he had to refrain from divulging too much about Jared’s identity as a
cultivator in front of Galen and Boris.
“General Jackson, could it be that this lad here has bribed you to say all these? He’s so young; how amazing can his
medical skills and magecraft be? Even if he began cultivating his skills when he was still in his mother’s womb,
that’d only be twenty-odd years. But look at me; I’ve started practicing magecraft since young and am also pretty
knowledgeable in medicine. That’s totaling up to a few decades of hard work and experience, and even so, I

mocked while smiling sinisterly.
He had once encountered Jared using magecraft at the auction. Back then, as he had failed to see the young man
as a threat, it gave the latter an opening to cast a sound transfer array on Galen, which ultimately led to the
exposure of their scheme. Nonetheless, he did not think that incident was because of Jared’s incredible magecraft.
After all, sound transfer array was an easy technique that anybody could master within a few years of training.
Galen threw a disdainful look at Theodore as he questioned, “General Jackson, not everyone can give Mr. Cadden’s
son treatment as they wished. Who can afford to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong? Will you be able
to shoulder that?”
In truth, he had long bore a hatred for Jared. Neither did he have a good impression of Theodore. However, he did
not dare to be disrespectful toward Theodore since the latter was the general of the Department of Justice.
At least, that was the case in the past. As esteemed guests of Jermaine at present, Galen and Boris no longer felt
compelled to be amicable toward Theodore. As a matter of fact, they were also confident that he would not dare to
retaliate even if they were to insult him.
Theodore let out a cold snort. “Since I’m the one who brought Mr. Chance here, I’ll be more than willing to bear all
of the possible consequences.”
“Mr. Cadden, seeing as General Jackson is so confident, I believe there’s no need for my presence then. You can
seek medical help from that young lad called Jared or something. I’ll take my leave first.”
As Boris spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.
It was his way of playing hard to get. By putting on that deliberate act, he would be able to test Jermaine’s reaction.
“Mr. Yonce, since I’ve sent my man to invite you here, that means I have the intention for you to treat my son.
Please stay.” Jermaine stopped Boris in his tracks before turning to Theodore and continued, “Theodore, I
appreciate your kind gesture. But I have Mr. Yonce here with me, and I trust that he’ll be able to treat my son’s
illness. Leave with that young man first. We’ll talk another time if you have any other matters.”
It was clear that Jermaine had given Theodore and Jared an order to leave, which was precisely what Boris
anticipated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile he could barely conceal his smugness as he threw Theodore and Jared a glance, Galen had a scornful
expression plastered to his face.
Caught on the horns of a dilemma, Theodore requested earnestly, “Mr. Chance is honestly a capable man. Mr.
Cadden, perhaps you could—”
“Escort the guests out.” Jermaine’s expression turned a little forbidding when Theodore refused to leave.
As soon as the command rang out, someone walked in and headed toward Theodore at once. “General Jackson,
this way, please.”
Of course, the general did not dare utter another word since he could sense that Jermaine was irked. Turning to
Jared, he sighed and muttered, “Mr. Chance, we should get going.”
Yet, Jared acted as though he did not hear Theodore’s words. Instead, he stood rooted to the ground with his brows
furrowed as he fixed his gaze toward the bedroom.
“Mr. Chance?” Theodore was perplexed by Jared and gave the latter a nudge.
Only then did the young man recover from his trance and nod lightly. “Sure. Let’s go!”
As the two began making their way out without looking back, Jared said loudly, “We’ll be waiting right outside. Feel
free to find me there if you run into a problem.”
Those words were meant for Jermaine.
