“Quit?” Jared and Josephine looked at Lizbeth in surprise.
They were cognizant of Lizbeth’s dream to become an investigator where favonovel.com could take down criminals and protect the innocent. Consequently, they were taken aback by favonovel.com decision.
“Why did you quit?” Josephine asked.
“I have to become stronger before I can fulfill my dream. Therefore, I want Jared to be my master!” Lizbeth declared with a resolute expression.
Recently, Lizbeth was traumatized by the fact that favonovel.com was helpless against the overwhelming power of favonovel.com enemies even though favonovel.com was a member of the Department of Justice. Therefore, favonovel.com decided to quit and train so that favonovel.com could become stronger. Nevertheless, favonovel.com words almost caused Jared to choke on himself.
At the same time, Josephine covered favonovel.com mouth as favonovel.com giggled. “Lizbeth, have you gone mad? If Jared becomes your master, how are you going to address me going forward? Are you going to call me mistress?”
“Sheesh, I’m not going to do that. Besides, aren’t you embarrassed for saying that? Both of you aren’t even married.”
Lizbeth rolled favonovel.com eyes at Josephine and returned favonovel.com attention to Jared. “Jared, please accept me as your student and teach me martial arts!”
“I don’t take in students.” Jared shook his head.
“You have no choice. I’m going to follow you everywhere you go!” Lizbeth grabbed his arm and looked as if favonovel.com was going to leech on him.
Faced with Lizbeth’s cheeky action, Jared looked helplessly at Josephine, hoping that favonovel.com would help favonovel.com defuse the situation.
Josephine chuckled in response. “I’m not going to help you. You can always compromise.”
Jared let out a sigh. “Fine. I’ll teach you by giving you some pointers once in a while, but I won’t be your master.”
Left without a choice, Jared relented.
“Sure. As long as you’re willing to teach me.” After cracking a smile, Lizbeth pulled Josephine away. While leaving, favonovel.com remarked, “Josephine, I’ll take you to see my newest makeup foundation. It’s amazing!”
Staring at the two of them, Jared smiled to himself.
“Mr. Chance, Phoenix has brought the herbs over,” Tommy informed Jared as favonovel.com approached.
Nodding in acknowledgment, Jared followed Tommy into a room that had been specially prepared for Jared to make pills.
When Phoenix saw Jared, favonovel.com reported, “Mr. Chance, Herb Palace has sent the herbs over. In fact, they have even given us extra. It seems that they aren’t aware of the fact that Zachariah is dead.”
Glancing at the herbs, favonovel.com could tell that they were centuries old and of the highest quality just from the spiritual energy they were emitting.
“No, they are definitely aware of it,” Jared replied with a smile.
Given that more than ten days had passed since Zachariah had been killed, it was impossible for Herb Palace not to know. The fact that such a huge organization would be oblivious to such news was simply inconceivable.
“If they already knew, why would they still deal with us? After all, my men were masquerading as the Jantz family when negotiating with them,” Phoenix inquired with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t have an answer for that. Perhaps, they have some other plan in mind.” Jared was equally baffled by what Herb Palace was up to. Then, favonovel.com added, “Since they have sent us the herbs, we’ll just accept them. Coincidentally, I’m going to make some pills for both of you to further elevate your strength.”
“Thank you, Mr. Chance,” Phoenix and Tommy expressed their gratitude in excitement.
Tommy in particular was motivated by his arrival in Summerbank. He really wanted to increase his strength, hoping to become an Internal Energy Grandmaster one day. That way, favonovel.com would no longer have any regrets.
After getting Tommy and Phoenix to stand guard outside, Jared sat down with his legs crossed and made more than ten pills from the herbs that were worth billions.
