Although Tommy was not very powerful, he, as Jared's subordinate, would never ditch the latter and escape first.
He was going to risk his life even if the odds were against him.
“Mr. Chance, being able to work under you for so long is already the best thing that can happen to me. If there's an afterlife, I'm willing to continue being your subordinate,” Phoenix too said with determination.
After finishing their sentences, both of them exchanged glances and prepared themselves mentally for what was about to come. Be it only a few seconds of delay, they were determined to buy Jared some time to escape.
“Nonsense...” Jared frowned slightly. “Just leave first. I already have a plan. Your presence here will only make things more difficult for me.”
He rarely got angry at Tommy and Phoenix. However, this time, his tone of voice was unusually stern.
Seeing Jared's reaction, both of them fell silent, unsure of what to do.
“I'm not leaving.” Right then, Lyanna, who was behind Jared, said remorsefully, “If I didn't stop you from killing Curtis, this wouldn't have happened. Since this is all my fault, I'll never leave.”
Lyanna was feeling extremely guilty. If I didn't stop Jared, Curtis wouldn't have survived. He wouldn't even have the chance to come here with
Hayden.
She felt extremely guilty for how things turned out at that moment. In fact, she would not be able to forgive herself if anything happened to Jared.
“Mr. Chance, we're not leaving either. At most, I'll give in my all with this old body of mine,” Samuel chimed in, looking resolute.
Looking at all the people who were unwilling to leave, Jared smiled helplessly. Yet, he felt slightly moved by their actions.
“Stop thinking about escaping already. None of you are getting away today,” Hayden sneered, as though he had seen through Jared's plan.
