Chapter 620 Collateral Descendant
Jared grinned without saying anything. He didn’t realize that his physical attributes had risen to that state, either. I
guess the body-quenching pill Rayleigh gave me is a hundred times better than my revitalizing pills.
“Now that the men have been apprehended, will you be heading back to Horington, Mr. Chance? I can have
someone drop you off,” offered Theodore.
“Thank you, General Jackson, but there’s no need for that. I plan on staying for a while. I’ll hail a cab when I decide
to go home.”
Bull and Rayleigh showing up like that had changed Jared’s mind. He wanted to stay in Jadeborough for a little
longer. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get to meet other energy cultivators. My main concern is still to learn more about
my birth, though.

please feel free to call me,” reminded Theodore.
“Thank you for your offer,” replied Jared while grinning.
After leaving the place, Jared returned to his hotel and rested on his bed. He recalled his encounter with Bull and
Rayleigh. Yeah, they are definitely the strongest men I have ever met in my entire life.
On the other side, Sean Cooper of the Cooper family was burning with rage after receiving the butler’s reports.
“Trash! Utter useless pieces of trash. Those idiots from Mapleton are freaking useless. I can’t believe they lost even
though it was five against one!”
Sean was so angry that he punched the desk and pulverized it.
“Mr. Sean, please listen to me. I don’t think they had failed to kill Jared. It’s just that Jared had help. My sources told
me that Theodore Jackson had sent his men over and surrounded Weston and the others. They even had snipers
with them. If that weren’t the case, Jared couldn’t have won the battle,” said the butler.
Sean looked ever worse after hearing that. “That stupid Jared. I can’t believe there are so many people out there
protecting him. I guess I will have to wait until my brother is done with his solidary training. Then, we will be able to
avenge Fabian.”
In Jadeborough alone, Jared had the Department of Justice, the Baileys, and Jermaine of Senary Porta protecting
him. All that made Sean cautious about attacking Jared recklessly. I guess I will have to wait until Xander gets out of
training to discuss the matter.
“There’s one other thing, Mr. Sean. The family’s elder will be having a birthday party soon. We received our
invitations. What gift should we prepare?” asked the butler.
Sean frowned right away and sighed a little.
They were collateral descendants of the Cooper family, so they weren’t valued. They also had limited contact with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe lineal descendants of the family, but the elder would throw a birthday party every year. The collateral
descendants always had to present valuable gifts, so the mere mention of the party gave Sean a headache.
Unfortunately, there was nothing anyone could do about it. That was just how the politics worked. The upside was
that Sean’s brother had been receiving abundant training from them over the past ten years.
In a way, they were lucky. At least they could send one of their members over to learn everything from the direct
line. Many collateral descendants of the family couldn’t do that despite the annual gifts they had to present.
“Did my brother say anything? How are his studies going?” asked Sean.
“He called and said that he is now allowed to enter the main hall. He also asked us to send more gifts over so that
the others would pay more attention to him…,” replied the butler.
“Wait, he’s in?” said Sean while smiling. “That is amazing news. That means he is a cultivator, and once his training
is complete… Oh, the power we’ll wield shall be incredible. The Baileys, the Department of Justice will mean nothing
at all!”
Sean was so excited that his face was burning red slightly. His eyes shone with happiness, but his gaze also shone
with a hint of envy.
