Chapter 943 Lucky

“Mr. Chance, what’s the matter with you?”

Theodore, who was standing beside Jared, could sense the subtle, albeit unmistakable, murderous aura

off Jared and posed the question.

“Nothing!” Jared snapped and shook his head.

Theodore did not egg Jared on, seeing as the man was reluctant to talk about it.

After some time, Mr. Sanders was still nowhere to be seen even after Jermaine had arrived. In the end,

Theodore and Jared could only get inside first.

The hall of the Department of Justice was fully occupied with formidable people. Some of them were

conversing with each other, while some were just resting with their eyes closed.

Among the people, Jared had spotted some familiar faces. Blake Henckle the graverobber and Kenneth

Carrall from Thunderstorm Sect were also there. However, Jared did not know whether they followed

their families there, or they were there upon his invitation.

However, the Baileys and the Coopers were nowhere to be seen, whether it was Samuel or Sean. Jared

reckoned that maybe they were deemed unqualified to be present.

After about half an hour later, the bustling hall quieted down. A middle-aged man made his way inside,

followed by four men in uniforms.

The middle-aged man exuded an intimidating aura and no one dared to look directly into his eyes.

Instead, everyone shot up from their seats upon catching sight of the man.

Meanwhile, Jared widened his eyes in shock when spotted the middle-aged man.

It was not that Jared did not recognize the man. Rather, Jared knew the four men in uniforms behind the

man.

He met the four men during his first meeting with Rayleigh back at Jared. After Rayleigh saved him, the

four men made their appearance, and Captain Xenos was one of them.

After witnessing the four men’s prowess, he revered them. Hence, he was startled by the fact that the

four men were practically only the middle-aged man’s bodyguards.

“Mr. Sanders…” everyone addressed him as such.

“Haha, sorry for being late. I had something to tend to…”

Mr. Sanders waved his hands and let out a chuckle, signaling for everyone else to take their seats.

“Mr. Chance, he’s Mr. Sanders whom I talked about. He’s representing that secret department,”

Theodore whispered to Jared.

Jared nodded. He needed no introduction from Theodore as the man naturally commanded respect from

the crowd.

The four men behind Mr. Sanders were already formidable opponents to many in the hall.

The celebratory ceremony commenced. Mr. Sanders took out his drafted speech and started to recite it.

Even though nobody was truly interested, everyone still kept quiet and listened.

After some pleasantries, Mr. Sanders shot a brief glance at Jared and smiled slightly. “We have Jared

Chance to thank for our spectacular success in the international competition this time, especially the

killing of the impudent Ichiro Watanabe. The martial arts world should learn to be the bigger man and

prioritize national matters, much like Jared,” he said.

“I know that established martial arts families like all of you here do not like the idea of being restricted

after becoming part of the government. I will not force you guys either, seeing as everyone is entitled to

their own pursuits in life. However, I wish that the martial arts world would stop the killing over the fight

for resources. I heard that many established families are hunting down Jared because of a single vial of

draconic essence. Don’t you guys get enough resources from the Trial that we organize every year for

the martial arts world? Since Jared has joined the Department of Justice, he is already one of the

officials. I believe that all present here should be well aware of the repercussions that come with the

murder of Jared.”

Mr. Sanders’ remarks sent waves of murmurs and whispers among the crowd.

Ryker’s face darkened. He had not expected that Jared would be able to join the Department of Justice,

much less garnering the attention of Mr. Sanders to support him.

The Shalvis family was startled as well. Just when Kristoff was thinking of seeking revenge on Jared, Mr.

Sanders had given out a warning to all of them. How could the Shalvis family take out on Jared then?
