Chapter 496Chapter 496
“Ah-” the visibly shaken Tessa squealed in panic. “Help, Jared. Save me…”
She could only turn to Jared at this moment, for she knew his strength well!
“Let her go!” Jared said steadily.
“Hardly in a position for heroics when you can scarcely save your own hide. Wouldn’t you agree,
kiddo?” said the scoffing Isaiah as he regarded Jared.
Ignoring him, Jared turned to Jayden instead. “Give me half of this vein mine, and I’ll save your
daughter, as well as rid you of the Fergusons!”
The snootiness and casualness of his inflection made it sound as though eliminating the Fergusons
was a triviality unworthy even of mention.
Stunned, Jayden looked at him, seemingly at a loss.
“Do you even know what you are saying here, brat? Rid him of the Fergusons? Aren’t you worried
about being made to chew on your own words?” Isaiah howled at Jared in displeasure.
He was not convinced that Jared possessed the ability to follow through on that, for he was buoyed
further by Bruce’s presence and had no cause for fear.
“Have you come to a decision yet, Jayden?” Jared continued.
Jayden had an awful look, caught between a rock and a hard place.
If he were to accede to Jared’s request and should the latter prove to be more bluster than he was
worth by getting himself killed, all the Snyder family would have to contend with the fate of totaleradication.
However, were he to refuse, Jayden could not live with himself seeing Tessa sullied at the hands of
Isaiah either.
“Aside from turning to me, do you have any other options? Do not pin your hopes on other people’s
good conscience!” sneered Jared when he saw Jayden’s trepidation.
“Come on, Dad. Agree to his terms…” Tessa wailed away. Though she understood her father’s
reservations, she had seen Jared catch a bullet in mid-flight with her own very eyes. That was not
something any average person could muster!
“Mr. Chance’s capability goes beyond what your eyes can perceive, Mr. Snyder!” advised Dominic who,
by this point, could not allow himself to be sidetracked by other distractions.
novelbinThe slightly apprehensive Jayden looked to Tessa and finally replied between gritted teeth, “If you
could save my daughter, Mr. Chance, I’d be willing to give up my entire vein mine to you!”
“Like I said, half of it is what I ask. Nothing more.”
With that, Jared turned to regard Isaiah. “Let Ms. Snyder go, and perhaps I might consider granting you
a merciful end.”
“Hahaha. Are you deluded, brat, or have you lost your mind? How do you expect to kill me?” The latter
chortled with scant regard for him.
Without saying another word, Jared’s body spurred into action. Following that, the two of the Fergusons
straight-up hit the deck. With Tessa swept into his arms, Jared then drifted back onto Jayden’s side.While her arms wrapped around his neck and eyes fixated upon him, her heart throbbed.
Jayden responded to Jared’s remarkable display with much glee inside.
“You can let go of me now!” said Jared haplessly to Tessa who did not seem ready to relinquish her
grip on him.
“Oh!” She blushed and promptly loosened her hold.
“Your daughter is now back safe and sound, so I shall see to Isaiah next. Do not forget what you’ve
promised me, though,” Jared said.
“I won’t. I definitely will not forget it!” Jayden nodded his head vigorously.
Jared about turned and looked to Isaiah with a subdued smile. “Let us not waste time here. Come at
me with everything you’ve got!”
With that, the terrifying aura of Jared’s exploded all around him!
“You’re asking for it!”
Incensed, a Grandmaster from amongst the Fergusons started toward Jared!
With movements as swift as lightning, the Grandmaster saw a series of deafening rumbles arise from
between his palms. It was the sound of energy churning through the air.
This terrifying force surged directly at Jared, stirring up a storm of dust in its wake. Jared, nonetheless,
kept his hands calmly behind his own back while he regarded that Grandmaster with reticence!
