“Mr. Cadden, your son has recovered. He's not being controlled by anyone. The light that you saw just now is the holy light. If he is being controlled by a mind-controlling parasite, it would be impossible for him to stay calm. Hence, do not trust the nonsense uttered by Jared,” said Boris.
Galen, who stood at a side, scoffed. “I bet Jared made up that puppet story just to get your attention because he didn't get the chance to acquit himself earlier. Now that Mr. Josiah has recovered, he's disgruntled and is trying to claim credit for what Mr.
Yonce has done.”
His statement had convinced Jermaine. Indeed, even though I've requested Jared to save Josiah, Josiah recovered before he could do anything. It might be true that Jared was indignant, so he invented the puppet story to create an opportunity for himself If he could be given a chance to treat Josiah, he would be able to claim credit for Josiah's recovery!
“Humph, how dare you claim credit for something you have not done! A young man like you should be studying diligently to improve yourself instead of resorting to such trickeries. My son is fine, yet you still intended to assault him. If you dare to lay a finger on him, I guarantee that you'll not walk out of here in one piece!” The older man looked at Jared, his eyes flashing menacingly.
Terrified by Jermaine's gaze, Theodore tugged at Jared's sleeve lightly and pleaded, “Mr. Chance, I think it's best we let this slide. Let’s discuss the matter at length!”
“I must eliminate the mindcontrolling parasite today. Or else, many will suffer.”
Jared was unmoved. He had made the decision to eliminate the mindcontrolling parasite right then. The ramifications of letting Josiah go would be drearily unimaginable, with the peace of society at stake.
“But Boris used the holy light on Josiah just now, and it turns out that he is fine.”
Theodore could not understand why Jared was so stubborn.
“That so-called holy light is nothing but a gimmick. He's just trying to hoax you guys. Don't forget that they left the room scrambling just now because of the mind-controlling parasite. The reason why Boris claims that Mr. Cadden's son is fine is that he doesn't want me to claim his credit!”
Jared knew from the beginning that Boris was spouting nonsense. Since the latter saw the mind-controlling parasite with his own eyes, he obviously knew Josiah was being controlled by it.
“Stop your bullsh*t! I think you're the one who wants to claim Mr. Yonce's credit!” Galen replied contemptuously.
