Although Theodore didn’t continue, Jermaine nodded his head, indicating that Theodore was right.
“That’s good news. The Department of Justice will be honored to have Mr. Sanders’ presence.” Theodore could hardly contain his excitement.
Sitting next to them, Jared was in bewilderment because favonovel.com didn’t know who Mr. Sanders was. Nevertheless, Jared knew that the mysterious person was a big shot. After all, even Jermaine, a high-ranking official, addressed the person with his surname.
Jared and Theodore didn’t stay at Jermaine’s residence for a long time, for they had to return to the Department of Justice to prepare for the banquet later.
“General Jackson, who is this Mr. Sanders that you mentioned just now?” Jared asked Theodore in the car.
Although Theodore was driving, favonovel.com still glance around cautiously before whispering to Jared, “Mr. Chance, do you remember I used to tell you that there is a secret department in Jadeborough?”
“Yes, I do remember. You said it’s a government department tasked with limiting the power and influence of the martial arts world,” Jared nodded and replied.
“You’re right. Mr. Sanders is the officer who liaises with the outside world. Nonetheless, I’m not sure about his exact position in the department. Anyway, if Mr. Sanders can vouch for you, I believe the entire martial arts world of Jadeborough will not dare to lay a finger on you!”
Jared was a little ruffled upon listening to Theodore. Although Jared’s power had increased drastically and became the rising star among the young masters, favonovel.com was merely a nobody compared to the entire martial arts world.
What does the secret department do? How strong are the officers in it?
While Jared’s mind was flooded with curiosity, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com could come into contact with more influential people only when favonovel.com got stronger.
Knowing that Mr. Sanders would be attending the banquet, Theodore diligently decorated the hall as soon as they returned to the Department of Justice.
When it was nearly noontime, some guests arrived at the Department of Justice. Although their cars weren’t luxurious, all the guests were prominent figures.
Representing the host today, Jared and Theodore stood at the entrance to welcome the guests. Given that the guest list was decided by the higher-ups, even Theodore didn’t know who would be coming.
Soon, Jared spotted a familiar figure.
It was none other than Kristoff, whose arm was cut off by Jared. After hopping out, Kristoff opened the car door for Wrea and Steinar.
Meanwhile, Theodore and Jared were startled when they saw the Shalvis family.
“Jared, how do you do?” Despite having only an arm, Kristoff’s imposing aura remained strong.
Jared was surprised when favonovel.com sensed that Kristoff had become a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Although Kristoff had only returned from Dragon Island for roughly a month, favonovel.com had successfully elevated his status from a Top Level Senior Grandmaster to a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Hence, Jared couldn’t help but inwardly commend Kristoff’s talent.
“Killing Ichiro is a testimony to your strength. However, I’ll take revenge on you for cutting off my arm, no matter how strong you are.” Kristoff leaned closer toward Jared and provoked him.
Unperturbed, Jared looked at Kristoff calmly.
Worrying that a conflict would ensue between Jared and Kristoff, Theodore quickly stood between them and said to Kristoff, “Mr. Shalvis, please come in if you’re here to attend the banquet. If you’re here to look for trouble, I’m afraid you’ve picked the wrong day.”
“Theodore, we’re here to attend the banquet, of course. Besides, I’m afraid you don’t have the right to chase us away,” Wrea sneered.
