Chapter 170


    Could someone who can catch a bullet with his bare hand be an ordinary person? Beyond a shadow of


    a doubt, he must have some other identity that my investigation could never unearth!

    At that moment, Xavier also recalled how Felix didn’t do anything to Jared back at Vintage Restaurant


    butshed out at him instead.


    Thinking back now, Felix must have been afraid of his identity. Ah, it turns out that I’m not even in the


    same league as him! He had always been proud that he studied abroad and felt that he was a hundred


    times better than Jared. However, he abruptly realized that he had been too shallow at that very


    instant.


    “Please don’t kill me! I beg you!” Terrified, he chickened out and admitted defeat. He was afraid of


    death and dared notmit murder. In fact, he had only pulled the trigger earlier due to his wrought


    nerves.


    Despite having braced himself for the possibility of killing Jared, he still didn’t dare pull the trigger and


    take a life when it came down to it for real.


    At the sight of his pathetic state, Jared lost the desire to kill him. He tossed the bullet to the ground and


    ordered coldly, “Starting today, get out of Horington. Don’t ever appear in front of me again!”


    After saying that, Jared spun on his heels and left the office. When he opened the office door, Xavier’s


    secretary happened to be standing right by the door.


    The second she saw Xavier kneeling on the ground through the gap in the door, she was entirely


    stunned. Jared cast a nce at her, frightening her considerably. Nevertheless, he said nothing, nor did


    he bother closing the door behind him. Instead, he left it ajar and allowed her to stare at Xavier, who


    was on his knees


    “Buzz off! Scram!”


    Xavier roared at his secretary. Terror-stricken, the secretary hastily bolted. Inwardly, unease lingered


    within her, and she was worried sick that she would be dismissed for having seen Xavier in an


    embarrassing state. Unbeknownst to her, Xavier slowly picked up the gun and bullet from the ground


    right then.


    After a final look at his office, he left. Ever since then, he never again appeared in the office or even in


    the whole of Horington.


    “Jared, did Mr. Jennings ask for you to talk about themission? What did you say to him?” Zayne


    urgently demanded as soon as he saw Jared returning to the sales department.


    Although he loathed speaking to the man, he still did so for the sake of themission. “Nothing at all,”


    Jared replied frostily with a nce at him.


    “You just want to keep all themission for yourself, huh, Jared? Let me tell you that thepany


    policy stiptes that the manager has a share in themission no matter who in the sales


    department clinches a contract. Furthermore, we’ve already made several trips to Cosmic Chemical in


    the past few months. You couldn’t have gotten the contract without us, so don’t think that you’re all


    great and mighty! If it weren’t for me rmending you here, would you have been able to join the


    company?” Maria huffed upon seeing his cial attitude.


    “I don’t care about that paltrymission. If there’s truly any, I won’t take a single cent,” Jared


    murmured cidly after eyeing her for a moment.


    “You said it yourself, and everyone heard you, Jared! Don’t regret not even taking a single cent!” Zayne


    hurriedly proimed in a booming voice when he heard that, afraid that the man would go back on his


    word.


    “I won’t regret it.” Jared sneered.


    At once. utter tion deluged Zayne.


    If he doesn’t want themission, then it’ll all be mine!


    At that time, I should be able to afford the down payment for a mansion at Drage Everyone in the sales


    department gaped at Jared in shock, allughing at him for being such a fool. Themission for such


    a huge contract is definitely a pretty penny, but he’s simply giving it all up with a single remark!


    “Hilda, you’re in the same team as Jared, so you must hold on to themission although he gave it


    up. Don’t be an idiot like him!”


    Lydia whispered, leaning close to Hilda. Hilda stole a peek at Jared a near distance away before she


    shook her head and asserted, “I don’t want it either!”


    I wasn’t the one who facilitated the contract, so I don’t want themission. I’m not going to ask why


    he’s giving it up, but perhaps it’s because he has found a rich girlfriend, so he doesn’t care about that


    trifling sum!


    “Well, they must be both sick in the head and have some kind of grudge against money!” Curling her


    lips, Lydia then stalked off.
