Chapter 563 Good Judge Of Character


    Walter sighed withoutmenting further. They’d used me all those years ago. What’s the point of


    holding on to the grudge until now?


    After their meal, Theodore personally escorted Jared to Jausden Auction House to prevent Sean from


    finding trouble with Jared.


    Jared sensed the movement of spiritual energy upon setting foot in the exhibition hall. Though faint, it


    was enough to prove that there were indeed some authentic artifacts amongst the exhibits.


    The vast space was filled with ss cabs containing every antique one could imagine. Glittering


    under the yellow fluorescent bulbs, they told stories of their origins.


    “Mr. Chance!”


    Jared turned toward the source of the familiar voice only to discover that it was Tristan, who quickened


    his pace toward the former. “I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr. Chance!”


    Jared smiled at him. “When did you return, Tristan? How is Ms. Simmons?”


    “I’ve arrived yesterday just to attend this auction,” replied Tristan. “Megan is doing well. In fact, she’s


    been inducted into the Crescent Sect!”


    Jared felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. After all, it was for his sake that her father, Dante, had


    sacrificed himself.


    “Is this Mr. Chance, Tristan?” An old man joined them.


    “Yes, he is, Grandpa,” introduced Tristan before turning to Jared. “Mr. Chance, meet my grandfather.


    Samuel Baileys.”


    Jared nodded. “Mr. Baileys.”


    Samuel sank into a deep bow. “What a fine specimen of a man you are, Mr. Chance! It is the honor of


    the Baileys to be at your service.”


    Samuel’s demeanor drew the attention of arge crowd. They could notprehend how the patriarch


    of the powerful Baileys of Jadeborough could lower his voice and speak with so much courtesy to such


    a young man.


    “Mr. Baileys has a good judge of character,” Theodore said approvingly.


    “No wonder the Baileys has such a long legacy.”


    It was obvious that Samuel was aware of Jared’s true identity, which exined his reverence for the


    latter. It would do the reputation of our family well if the word were to get out that we are acquainted


    with an energy cultivator!


    “General Jackson, you have ttered me. I am sure you could tell that Mr. Chance is no ordinary


    individual?”


    As a testament to his discerning eye, Samuel had managed to deduce that Theodore, too, was aware


    of Jared’s identity.


    Theodoreughed boisterously as they exchanged knowing winks.


    “This way please, Mr. Chance. So far, all of the exhibits you’ve seen pale inparison to this. The


    real treasures lie behind this door.” Samuel gestured smartly.


    Jared nodded before following Samuel into the hall.


    Before he took more than a few steps, Jared felt the icy-cold sensation of a murderous re upon him


    which was followed by the appearance of a middle-aged man who was apanied by a wizened,


    white-haired figure.

    The younger man was the one who was staring at Jared as though intending to swallow him whole.


    Returning the re without a trace of fear, Jared knew instinctively that his silent adversary belonged to


    the Coopers.


    Sure enough, Samuel stepped out and stood between the man and Jared. “What do you want, Sean?”


    “I just want a word with the kid, Mr. Baileys. How quickly you jump in to the defense of your new


    master.”


    Samuel scowled. Incensed, Tristan strode forward at once. “Another word out of you, Sean, and I’ll-”


    “We adults are talking here, kid. Mind your manners!”


    Sean’s eyes narrowed and without warning, emitted a burst of an invisible force around him that forced


    Tristan to stumble backward.


    Theodore shot out an arm and caught Tristan before thetter fell. “Not here, Sean. We’re at the


    Jausden Auction House. Don’t you me me for being ruthless!”
