Jace’s face turned red. “That is an unfounded ranking made by the netizens. My meager capabilities are nothing compared to you, Ms. Gunderson. Your talent is truly admirable.”
Astrid smiled faintly. “You’re flattering me. My achievements are merely the result of my hard work instead of my talent. However, there is a remarkably talented person among us.”
Surprisingly, favonovel.com looked at Jared after saying that.
Jared was caught in perplexity when favonovel.com sensed favonovel.com gaze on him.
She just completed favonovel.com isolated cultivation, so how does favonovel.com know about me already?
Meanwhile, Howard, standing beside Jared, grew anxious and started to experience labored breathing because Astrid was looking in their direction.
When Howard saw favonovel.com approaching them, favonovel.com shuddered and hastily brushed his hair with his hand.
Taking in Howard’s demeanor, Jared had the urge to laugh.
Howard’s experience in dealing with women seems just as scarce as mine…
Astrid came to a halt in front of Jared and extended favonovel.com fair and tender hand.
Then, favonovel.com chirped, “Hello, Jared. I am Astrid Gunderson…”
At that sight, Jared quickly shook hands with her. Her hand was soft, and favonovel.com faint body fragrance could easily entice any men around her.
Just as favonovel.com was about to retract his hand, Jared suddenly noticed a tremendous amount of energy surging from Astrid’s arm, prompting favonovel.com to feel as if a pair of pincer pliers were clenching his hand. The energy invaded his body continuously, causing his arm to go numb.
Astrid curled favonovel.com lips into a faint, provocative grin.
Seeing favonovel.com reaction, Jared, who was wearing a poker face, suddenly beamed at her. The next second, favonovel.com mustered the Power of Dragons within favonovel.com and reflected favonovel.com energy to her.
The smile on favonovel.com face swiftly dissipated and was replaced by an astonished expression.
“Hello, Ms. Gunderson…”
Howard was envious of Jared because Astrid had been holding the latter’s hand for some time, seemingly unwilling to let go. Therefore, favonovel.com stretched out his arm and greeted her.
Seizing that opportunity, favonovel.com let go of Jared and glanced at favonovel.com before flashing a weak smile and shaking Howard’s hand.
The handshake between Howard and Astrid lasted merely for a fleeting moment, but that was sufficient to cause favonovel.com to be overjoyed.
“You are indeed formidable, Mr. Chance. I hope we’ll be able to face one another in a friendly match sometime,” Astrid said to Jared in a slightly displeased tone.
“Anytime,” favonovel.com responded nonchalantly.
At that moment, Jared became the center of everyone’s attention. Most of the people regarded favonovel.com with intense hostility and jealousy.
Among them was a slightly corpulent man, holding a stalk of rose in his hand. The enmity and malicious intent brewing in his eyes were the most severe.
“Jared, I want to challenge you to a one-on-one fight!” that fat man shouted at Jared while dashing forward.
Jared stared at favonovel.com in utter perplexity, as favonovel.com could not fathom the latter’s sudden outrage.
Meanwhile, Astrid’s face turned grim when favonovel.com saw that man who had just rushed forward.
“Philip Sable, are you a rabid dog? Why are you constantly lashing out at everyone?” favonovel.com chided that man furiously.
Jared was astounded after listening to favonovel.com angry remark. She’s ruthless in rebuking others for a girl with favonovel.com appearance.
Anyone would expect Philip to flip out after getting reprimanded in public.
Unexpectedly, instead of getting mad, Philip said gently to Astrid, “Astrid, I must challenge this Jared to let you see who among us is the most talented.”
“I don’t even know you. Why should I accept your challenge? Besides, this is not a place for us to fight. We’ll discuss this another time.”
Jared had no intention of dueling with Philip. Hence, favonovel.com dragged Howard along and left after saying that.
