Although Jesse was furious, he sat down and ate lunch without saying anything further.
“Mr. Wagner, your son mentioned something called 'Martial Arts Gathering' earlier. What is that?” Jared asked curiously.
“Martial Arts Gathering is an annual event held by all the martial arts schools in Nuthana and Jazona. The main purpose of the event is to allow the young martial artists to get together and spar with each other. In order to motivate them further, winners will be rewarded with pills and precious herbs as prizes. The Herb Palace is the one hosting the event and providing the prizes. There will also be tons of magical items and pills being sold at the venue of the event. That's Herb Palace's marketing strategy to promote their products. As the number of participants increased over the years, so did the amount of incredibly rare herbs and magical items!” Luke explained in detail.
“Oh? I didn't know such events existed! May I participate in it as well?” Jared grew interested all of a sudden.
“Of course, you can! Any martial artist in Nuthana and Jazona below the age of thirty-five is allowed to participate. Unfortunately, old men like us can only watch from the side! However, I doubt any participant would even stand a chance at winning if you were to participate in it, Mr. Chance!” Luke replied with a wry smile.
Jared chuckled. “Haha! You give me too much credit, Mr. Wagner!”
Jesse simply rolled his eyes in disdain when he heard that.
“When will this Martial Arts Gathering be held?” Jared asked.
“Um...” Luke went into deep thought, but he couldn't seem to recall the date. He then turned toward Jesse and asked, “Hey, Jesse, how many days left till the Martial Arts Gathering?”
“A week!” Jesse replied without even looking up at him.
“You little sh*t...” Luke glared at him before flashingjared an apologetic smile.
