Chapter 248


    A Man Like None Other


    “I will!”


    Even if William did not mention it, Jared would never let those businessmen have their ways. After all, it


    was rted to the well-being of all the citizens in Horington.


    Upon receiving his assurance, William heaved a sigh of relief. He had utter faith in Jared as he had


    witnessed his extraordinary capabilities.


    Halfway through the car ride, Jared alighted the vehicle. Instead of following William to the Sullivan


    residence, he called Tommy and asked thetter to gather some men.


    Momentster, Tommy arrived with a group of subordinates.


    “Mr. Chance, did something bad happen?” he queried as soon as he arrived.


    “Stop asking questions. Juste with me.”

    Jared brought him and the others to stand guard outside Glen’s house.


    “Uh… Isn’t this Mr. Lowe’s house? Mr. Chance, w-what are you trying to do?” An awkward look crept


    onto Tommy’s face.


    Even though he was the underground king of Horington, he was still afraid of Glen, the real king of


    Horington.


    “I said stop asking questions!” Jared snapped as he reclined his seat.


    Then, hey down and closed his eyes to rest, ignoring Tommy.


    Meanwhile, the three businessmen were in a remote inn in Horington,


    The inn’s living condition was terrible, hardly up to par with their statuses as businessmen. It seemed


    rather strange that the three of them would choose to stay in such a ce.


    The businessman with a goatee sat on the bed inside the room, whereas the other two stood humbly


    beside him.


    His eyes were closed as he sat cross-legged. While his fingers moved rapidly, his lips quivered from him


    murmuring a long chant.


    Just then, a wisp of ck mist rushed out of his finger and vanished instantly.


    “All right! It’s done!” The businessman with a goatee sneered.


    “Hahaha! There’s nothing that Mr. White can’t do!” A slightly plump businessman let out a boisterous


    laugh.


    As a matter of fact, only the other two men-one plump and the other thin-were actual businessmen, but


    not the man with a goatee. His true identity was a mage.


    In the city where they came from, many people believed in magic, so there were many mages there.


    Be it choosing an address for a newpany, naming a child, or even choosing the venue for a


    business meal, people would seek help from a mage.


    Even though there were many fake mages around swindling people out of money, there were some


    competent ones. They knew all sorts of magical techniques such as capturing souls, exorcising demons,


    and curing some intractable diseases.


    Hence, those mages rose to fame. Some were even engaged by the rich.


    The man with a goatee, Nichs White, was a skilled mage with the greatest reputation in that city. The


    two businessmen had hired him with a huge sum of money.


    They were interested in Horington and wanted to start some highly profitable businesses. However, as


    they would cause heavy pollution, they feared the mayor of Horington-who was well-known to be an


    honorable man-would rebuff them. Thus, they invited Nichs toe over with them.


    At that moment, the thin businessman took out the contract he had prepared beforehand. His lips curled


    into a smirk as he uttered, “I have already prepared the contract. All that’s left now is to wait for Glen to


    come and sign the contract. Once the deal’s sealed, he won’t be able to deny it!”


    In fact, they had used the same method to settle many tricky deals and had never failed before.


    “Transfer fifty million into my ount after it’s done,” Nichs said faintly.


    “Will do!” the two businessmen replied obsequiously, nodding non-stop.
