Chapter 232 A Man Like None Other
Leyton approached Jared and said courteously, “Mr. Chance, I rushed over as soon as I could after
knowing that you were looking for me.”
Except for Sandy, everyone’s jaw dropped at Leyton’s disy.
Why is the Scott family heir talking to Jared like he’s some kind of VIP? Aren’t they love rivals?
Jared’s gaze roved over his stunned audience before he scoffed. He pointed at Leroy and said, “I heard
that the Scotts have some dealings with him.”
Leyton nced at Leroy. His gaze fell on thetter’s swollen cheek, and he seemed to catch Jared’s
unspoken hint. He replied, “Mr. Chance, we have outsourced portions of two property development
projects to him. However, we will be ending our partnership with him soon, and I will conduct stringent
inspections on the quality of his work. Should wee across any unsatisfactory work, we will deduct
his projectmission and sue him for damages!”
Jared nodded lightly, secretly impressed by Leyton’s quick wit.
Leroy was taken aback by his words. “Mr. Scott, w-what is the meaning of this? Our coboration-”
“We will dissolve our coboration and put your projectmission on hold. You will be responsible for
any damages incurred due to our partnership termination, understood?” Leyton cut in coldly and red
at Leroy.

He did not have any courtesy left to spare after waiting hand and foot on Jared.
“T-This,” Leroy stammered, unable to make head or tail of what had just happened.
Jared got to his feet and patted Leyton on the shoulder, dering, “Your attitude today saved your life,
but it’s not enough to save the Scott family.”
I won’t let him or the Scotts off the hook that easily. Sparing his life is the most I can do for him. There will
be more horrors in store for them,
Jared’s casual threat had Leyton paling instantly, and thetter immediately knelt before Jared, begging,
“Mr. Chance, as long as you can spare the Scott family from utter ruin, we pledge to serve you and your
interests for life. As a show of our sincerity, we can transfer ownership of our two property development
companies under your name!”
He whipped out two sets of contracts.
Leyton hade prepared, proving that he was more than just a rich yboy. He wanted Jared to
believe in his deference and disregard him as a future threat.
Walter and Tommy’s presence had made it difficult for Leyton to execute his ns earlier. This reunion
was thus the perfect opportunity for Leyton to offer his gift.
Jared was surprised by Leyton’s offer. The Scott family earned their wealth and reputation from
developing real estate. Their influence in Horington would undoubtedly plunge after they offered both
theirpanies to Jared.
However, the Scotts were so wealthy that they could still livefortably after gifting Jared their
companies. It was a far more pressing matter to gain Jared’s mercy and ensure their survival.
Jared received Leyton’s contracts, much to thetter’s delight. If he epts this gesture of goodwill, our
family may have a way out of this mess!
“Well then, I will spare the Scott family over your sincere offer.”
Jared signed the contracts, sealing the Scotts’ safety.
He was in dire need of the ample funds offered by theirpanies. The herbs Josephine had procured
had cost him millions. It was a costly yet necessary expenditure, given the weak spiritual energy atop
Dragon Summit and the rapidly depleting resources in Starry Compass.
Jared had to rely on crafting elixirs out of the precious herbs to increase the pace of his cultivation. He
needed to achieve Foundation Phase before mid-July to earn a spot on Nameless Ind.
Relying on the weak spiritual energy alone would take him eons to achieve Foundation Phase.
