Chapter 1291 Helping One Another
Once Lachlan and Howard walked out, all they saw was Jared standing at the entrance. He was covered with dirt
and blood. “Jared, you’re injured.” With a look of shock, Howard quickly rushed up to check Jared’s wounds.
Jared, however, only broke into a casual smile. “It’s just a small wound.”
“Mr. Chance, I have some Gold-Infused Antibiotic and tonic pills. I’ll get someone to bring them right away!” Lachlan
uttered respectfully to Jared as he approached the latter as well.
“There’s no need for that, Old Mr. Dunn. It’s all minor injuries. It’ll heal soon,” Jared replied thankfully.
Lachlan breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Jared’s tone. He quickly moved to the side and gestured for Jared
to enter the residence. “Please come in, Mr. Chance.”

Jared did just that. After he sat down, Lachlan even poured a cup of coffee for him.
To be honest, Jared actually already noticed Lachlan’s nervousness, and he smiled faintly at the older man.
“Jared, I heard that you killed David?” Howard asked.
Jared nodded. “Yes, but he self-destructed.”
“Self-destructed?”
Both Howard and Lachlan were shocked.
They knew how strong the self-destruction of a Martial Arts Marquis was. David had self-destructed, but Jared was
still alive and well. All he suffered were a few minor injuries, and that was enough to know how powerful Jared was.
“Was Skylar blown to bits from David’s self-destruct?” Howard asked curiously.
“Skylar ran away. However, I’ll make sure to catch him even if he flees to the ends of the earth,” Jared promised as
he shook his head.
“That’s such a shame. Skylar is a very cunning man. If he ran away, you have to be more careful,” Howard
reminded Jared.
“Thank you for your reminder, Howard.” Jared nodded before continuing, “I came here because I wanted the Dunn
family to take over the Norton family’s assets and businesses. As you know, there are many businesses under the
Norton family’s name, and many martial arts families are looking to seize control of it. Now that David’s dead, their
businesses will quickly be devoured if no one takes over. I don’t have time to take care of it, and frankly, it doesn’t
matter much to me. Therefore, I hope that you can take over it, Howard.”
Both Howard and Lachlan were taken aback by Jared’s words, especially the latter.
He had already been thanking his lucky stars that Jared was willing to let him off the hook. Never had he expected
that Jared would give the Dunn family such a big gift.
“Are you serious, Jared? You have to know that the Norton family’s businesses are one of the top businesses in

Jared merely smiled. “Of course, I’m serious.”
“Jared, since you actually trust me so much, I can’t possibly say anything to change your mind. However, in the
future, you only need to speak one word, and I promise that I will go through even the deepest pits of hell for you.”
Howard looked at Jared with redden eyes, clearly touched.
Lachlan, on the other hand, had a guilty expression on his face. All of a sudden, he kneeled in front of Jared.
Jared was incredibly taken aback, and he rushed over to help Lachlan back up. “What are you doing, Old Mr.
Dunn?”
“Mr. Chance, I have never done anything wrong in my life, but I have done terrible things to you. I promise that
from now onward, I, Lachlan Dunn, will serve you. The entire Dunn family will listen to your commands. If I ever
betray you, may the heavens open up and strike me with thunder.”
Lachlan had utterly been subdued by Jared. He even wished that he could give himself a few slaps as punishment.
“You’re taking it too seriously, Old Mr. Dunn. Howard is my friend, and he has helped me a lot. So, let’s just help
each other,” Jared responded with a light smile.
Jared did not stay at the Dunn residence for long. After discussing the matter, he left for the Village of Villains,
wanting to see if The Villainous Four had recovered or not.
