Chapter 1179 True Colors

Shortly after, the coffee was served. Lachlan personally poured Jared a cup.

“Do try it, Mr. Chance.”

He gestured for the man to go ahead and sample the coffee, trying his best to remain calm.

I can’t give the game away at such a time!

 

“Thank you, Old Mr. Dunn.”

After thanking him, Jared picked up the cup and took a sip.

“Not bad, but I don’t know much about coffee,” Jared admitted in slight mortification.

“Haha, I’m no expert either. Since it’s not bad, drink more,” Lachlan boomed with a chuckle.

 

Picking up the cup, Jared downed it all.

At that moment, Lachlan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Howard drank alongside Jared, but Lachlan didn’t bother stopping him.

He had the antidote, so it didn’t matter, even if his son drank it.

In no time, they had drunk and eaten. Feeling that it was almost time, Jared stood up to leave.

“Mr. Chance, the various martial arts families in the whole of Jadeborough currently have their sights set on you. If

you don’t mind, just stay at the Dunn residence. You can keep Howard company!” Lachlan urged upon seeing that

the man wanted to leave.

 

“Thank you for the offer, Old Mr. Dunn. However, I’ve still got many matters to handle, so I can only decline.”

Alas, Jared turned him down resolutely.

“Please wait for a moment, Mr. Chance. There’s still something I need to ask you!”

Having stopped the man from leaving, Lachlan turned to Howard and instructed, “Howard, your mom just called,

asking you to go and pick her up. Hurry up and go!”

At that, Howard had no choice but to go and pick his mother up. He regarded Jared apologetically. “In that case,

please excuse me, Jared.”

“Don’t worry about it, Howard. Hurry up and go!”

Jared flashed him a smile.

After Howard had left, Jared looked at Lachlan and inquired, “What’s the question you have for me, Old Mr. Dunn?”

“I heard that you have quite a few magical items and an integrated draconic essence that can generate the Power

of Dragons, Mr. Chance. Is that true?” Lachlan queried.

Jared was momentarily taken aback, but still, he nodded. “Yes, that’s true.”

The moment Lachlan heard the man admitting to it personally, his eyes lit up in a flash, and excitement was written

all over his face.

At the sight of that expression of his, shock flooded Jared.

“Then, I’ll be frank with you, Mr. Chance. Considering your current capabilities, you can still rank at the forefront

among the younger generation in the martial arts world. But the same can’t be said of Howard. His capabilities are

lacking, and he doesn’t work hard enough. Even the younger generation in the martial arts world in Jadeborough is

better than him, much less those on the Sage Leaderboard.”

Lachlan sighed, looking utterly disappointed.

“What are you trying to say, Old Mr. Dunn?”

By then, a frown was marring Jared’s countenance.

“Nothing much. I see that you’re friends with Howard, so I wonder if you can give the draconic essence to him. I’ll

exchange it with other magical items!” Lachlan replied.

As soon as Jared heard that, his expression turned chilly. “I’m sorry. If it’s anything else, I’ll definitely help. But I

can’t give anyone else the draconic essence. I’ve still got something to do, so please excuse me.”

He got to his feet and headed out, finding that Lachlan wasn’t the decent man he had imagined.

However, no sooner had he reached the door than Maddox blocked his path with some other men.

Jared turned to Lachlan. “What’s the meaning of this, Old Mr. Dunn?”

At that instant, Lachlan showed his true colors, sneering, “Nothing much. Since you’re unwilling to hand it over, I’ve

got no choice but to take it myself.”

Jared’s eyes narrowed into slits, and iciness radiated from them.

“For Howard’s sake, I don’t want to do violence at the Dunn residence. Don’t force my hand.”

His expression was as dark as thunder.

Guffawing, Lachlan drawled, “Haha! Do violence? Do you think you can still unleash any martial energy right now?

You’ve already consumed the energy-constraining pill, so you’re now powerless!”
