Chapter 1414 I Do Not Know You
Jace’s face turned red. “That is an unfounded ranking made by the netizens. My meager capabilities are nothing
compared to you, Ms. Gunderson. Your talent is truly admirable.”
Astrid smiled faintly. “You’re flattering me. My achievements are merely the result of my hard work instead of my
talent. However, there is a remarkably talented person among us.”
Surprisingly, she looked at Jared after saying that.
Jared was caught in perplexity when he sensed her gaze on him. She just completed her isolated cultivation, so how
does she know about me already?

Meanwhile, Howard, standing beside Jared, grew anxious and started to experience labored breathing because
Astrid was looking in their direction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Howard saw her approaching them, he shuddered and hastily brushed his hair with his hand.
Taking in Howard’s demeanor, Jared had the urge to laugh. Howard’s experience in dealing with women seems just
as scarce as mine.
Astrid came to a halt in front of Jared and extended her fair and tender hand. Then, she chirped, “Hello, Jared. I am
Astrid Gunderson.”
At that sight, Jared quickly shook hands with her. Her hand was soft, and her faint body fragrance could easily
entice any men around her.
Just as he was about to retract his hand, Jared suddenly noticed a tremendous amount of energy surging from
Astrid’s arm, prompting him to feel as if a pair of pincer pliers were clenching his hand.
The energy invaded his body continuously, causing his arm to go numb.
Astrid curled her lips into a faint, provocative grin.
Seeing her reaction, Jared, who was wearing a poker face, suddenly beamed at her. The next second, he mustered
the Power of Dragons within him and reflected her energy to her.
The smile on her face swiftly dissipated and was replaced by an astonished expression.
“Hello, Ms. Gunderson.”
Howard was envious of Jared because Astrid had been holding the latter’s hand for some time, seemingly unwilling
to let go. Therefore, he stretched out his arm and greeted her.
Seizing that opportunity, she let go of Jared and glanced at him before flashing a weak smile and shaking Howard’s
hand.
The handshake between Howard and Astrid lasted merely for a fleeting moment, but that was sufficient to cause
him to be overjoyed.
“You are indeed formidable, Mr. Chance. I hope we’ll be able to face one another in a friendly match sometime,”
Astrid said to Jared in a slightly displeased tone.
“Anytime,” he responded nonchalantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Jared became the center of everyone’s attention. Most of the people regarded him with intense
hostility and jealousy.
Among them was a slightly corpulent man, holding a stalk of rose in his hand. The enmity and malicious intent
brewing in his eyes were the most severe.
“Jared, I want to challenge you to a one-on-one fight!” that fat man shouted at Jared while dashing forward.
Jared stared at him in utter perplexity, as he could not fathom the latter’s sudden outrage.
Meanwhile, Astrid’s face turned grim when she saw that man who had just rushed forward.
“Philip Sable, are you a rabid dog? Why are you constantly lashing out at everyone?” she chided that man furiously.
Jared was astounded after listening to her angry remark. She’s ruthless in rebuking others for a girl with her
appearance.
Anyone would expect Philip to flip out after getting reprimanded in public.
Unexpectedly, instead of getting mad, Philip said gently to Astrid, “Astrid, I must challenge this Jared to let you see
who among us is the most talented.”
“I don’t even know you. Why should I accept your challenge? Besides, this is not a place for us to fight. We’ll discuss
this another time.”
Jared had no intention of dueling with Philip. Hence, he dragged Howard along and left after saying that.
