Chapter 1306 "Like he's any match for us." Jack glanced over at Frank with a smirk.

If Frank hadn't pulled that sneaky move and knocked them out cold, who knew who would have cout on top? Frank bit back the urge to give Jack a thorough pounding after hearing that.

On their way to the restaurant, Jack was utterly gobsmacked by Bard's lavish estate, his compliments spilling out one after another, much to Bard's amusement, who laughed heartily, clearly in high spirits.

Bard, still chuckling, told them to make themselves at hand take a look around before turning to Arabella, "Bella, cwithfor a moment, would you?" Arabella shot Jack a look that said ‘behave yourself before following Bard's steps.

“Bella, do you remember that a long tago, you saved me?” he asked.

Arabella was taken aback, seemingly unable to recall the event.

"Back then, I'd heard about a place by you guys. It is full of miraculous herbs. Since a bunch of top-notch doctors couldn't do a thing for your grandparents, | decided to take a risk and have a look, hoping to find something worthwhile, so | led a group there.

Even though I'd heard the place was a bit rough, | thought we'd be safe with enough hands. | didn't expect to walk into an ambush.

You were the one who showed up and saved every last one of us. | didn't lose a single man." Now it clicked for Arabella. In those times, several powerful factions dominated the area, and countless unknown groups sprouted up like mushrooms after the rain, all vying for territory and resources.

Anyone unfamiliar who stepped foot in there beca target.

Arabella had intervened when she saw her uncle's men cornered — not just out of solidarity for a fellow Solterran, but also to set an example to the other factions. Those under her protection were untouchable.

“Turns out, our paths had crossed long before, Bard said with a warm gaze, "Considering even my men couldn't stay there long, how did you manage all these years? | heard from Jack that you've been through a lot." "It's nothing. Which young person hasn't faced hardships?" "The Collins and the Griffith families owe you so much, allowing you to go through all those trials for no good reason,’ Bard said, his voice tinged with quilt.

“But it's those very trials that have shaped a better me. You shouldn't blyourself, Uncle Bard." Thanks to those experiences, she had met influential people, learned invaluable skills, and was able to help many more.

Bard realized she was truly understanding and possessed a broad perspective. He looked at her with admiration and fondness.

"Louisa would be proud to have a daughter like you." In the afternoon.

After Jack and his crew headed back, it wasn't long before he called Arabella.

"Boss, those guys in black at the restaurant have finally spilled the beans. They're not Alexander's men. They cfor you." Arabella was somewhat surprised.

"They had no idea that the man dining with you that night was Dawnstar's big shot Bard Griffith. They said if they had known, they wouldn't have dared make a move in his presence. Now, they're being hunted down.

They're at a dead end!" Arabella listened quietly as he continued.

“They're saying they'll spill everything they know, just asking for safe passage back hin exchange for their lives"" After all, crossing Bard on his own turf either meant safe passage home, or they'd rather Jack lock them up for life than face certain death outside.

“Boss, are they out of their minds? Just think about it. Why on earth would we cross Bard for a few lowlifes like them? Lucky for us, Bard's your uncle. | pretended to agree to their terms and got sintel out of them.

Someone's put a bounty on your head, a hefty one. I've got people back hlooking into it, and I'm sure we'll have answers soon.”
