Wrea was taken aback for a moment. “Kristoff's my nephew. Do you know him?”
“Of course. I was the one who cut his arm off. Why wouldn't I know him?”
As it turned out, Jared had overheard the conversation between Theodore and Wrea, thus realizing that the latter was from the Shalvis family.
“You... You're Jared Chance?” Wrea blurted out, his eyes wide in disbelief.
Jared nodded. “That's right. I'm Jared Chance. Nice to meet you.”
Wrea's face instantly turned red with rage when he heard that confession. “Da*n you! You were the one who cut my nephew's arm off and swallowed the draconic essence! Well then, I shall avenge Kris today and dig that draconic essence out of you!”
As soon as he said that, Wrea's aura intensified, and he readied himself to punch Jared.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Theodore quickly placed himself between Jared and Wrea. “What are you doing, Wrea? Don't forget that this is the Department of Justice. You'd better watch your behavior!”
Alas, Wrea couldn't care less about Theodore. “F*ck you, Theodore. Stop threatening me with the Department of Justice,” he reprimanded. “This punk here injured my nephew, so I must get my revenge today! Get lost if you don't want to die!”
Theodore's face fell almost immediately. Da*n it. I don't have a choice, do I? I'm nowhere as strong as Wrea. Even if I were to retaliate, I'd only be asking for trouble!
“General Jackson, why don't you step aside?” Jared calmly suggested. “Let me deal with Wrea. I can also use this chance to show everyone my capabilities. There's no better way than that to convince your subordinates.”
“Mr. Chance...” Theodore muttered as he turned to look at Jared.
“What's wrong? Are you afraid that I won't beat him?”
“No, no, of course not. Not even two Wrea Shalvises would be your match, Mr. Chance. That said, I do hope you'll hold yourself back if need be. Let's not get anyone killed...”
In actuality, Theodore was afraid that Jared might use too much force and accidentally kill Wrea. If that were to happen, the mess would be even tougher to clean up.
