Just when Jared was about to panic, someone pushed open the door to the mansion. Tommy and Phoenix walked in.
Upon seeing the scene inside the mansion, Tommy and Phoenix turned their heads away immediately. “We’re sorry, Mr. Chance. We didn't know you have such a hobby early in the morning.”
With that, the duo was about the leave when Jared stopped them and said, “Stop right there! I'm just having breakfast. Nothing's going on here!” As he spoke, he took the opportunity to stand up and get away from Lyanna.
“How did you guys know that I'm back?” Jared asked.
Ever since he came back from Mapleton, he hadn't informed the two of them because he didn't want to disrupt their efforts to strengthen themselves. Seeing how our enemies are all getting stronger, there isn't much Tommy and Phoenix could do in the future if they stay at being Grandmasters.
In fact, Tommy and Phoenix were well aware of their limitations as well. If they didn't strengthen themselves, they might end up causing more trouble than they were to solve them. Hence, they had been working hard to cultivate with the help of Jared's boosting pills.
“Mr. Grange told us,” Tommy answered hurriedly.
“So, what's up?” Jared knew Walter wouldn't have told them his whereabouts for no reason. They must've gone to find Walter to ask about me.
“You're the talk of the martial arts world after you defeated Xander, Mr. Chance. Now, the states ofjazona and Nuthana are going to form a Martial Alliance. They'd like you to be the leader,” Phoenix explained.
“No. I'm not interested in being a leader of anything.” Jared rejected the idea without any hesitation. I have too many things to deal with now. IVhat do I care about some Martial Alliance? Let alone be the leader of it!
Upon hearing that, Tommy and Phoenix looked like they were caught in a tight spot.
