The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 171

After getting off work, Hilda didn't hitch a ride home with Jared but hailed a taxi home by herself.

“What's wrong with her today?” Jared murmured under his breath.

He could sense her being listless the entire day, and she didn't speak to him either.

Having driven home, he got changed, and Josephine came to pick him up.

A luxurious car idling in front of the dilapidated neighborhood attracted plenty of attention in a blink of an eye.

“Who's this wealthy lady, and why is she here in our shabby neighborhood?”

“Could it be that she has taken a fancy to one of the lads here?”

“It's evident that she's filthy rich at a single glance, so how could she possibly be interested in the lads here?”

A group of elderly ladies was sitting by the neighborhood entrance, shooting the breeze.

Among them was Chloe, and she was also very curious to know who exactly the person in the car was waiting for.

However, when she spotted Jared exiting the neighborhood and getting into the car, she was wholly stumped.

“Chloe, that's Gary's son, Jared, no? So, he has gotten himself a rich girlfriend!”

“I remember that he's quite close to your daughter, Hilda. What's going on here?”

“Young people nowadays are always materialistic...”

The few elderly ladies gossiped among themselves while Chloe rushed home to ask her daughter what exactly had happened.

After Jared had gotten into Josephine's car, they went all the way to the suburbs in Horington according to the location Walter had given them. The area was undeveloped, so single-story houses predominated, and the roads were rather

bumpy as well.

“Kieran's wife is in the house, Mr. Chance.

Please look her over.”

While Walter spoke, Kieran walked ahead and led the way.

Walter walked alongside Jared and explained his relationship with Kieran.

It turned out that they were childhood friends, and Walter had also used to live in a single-story house in the area when he was young. Of course, that was decades ago.

He had left after attending school and had slowly gone into politics. In time, he rarely contacted his old friends anymore.

After he had retired and returned to Horington once more, he got in touch with his old friends. He then wanted to help Kieran move from the suburbs and buy him a house in the city, but Kieran was reluctant to leave. Hence, he relented.

The two of them often chatted over tea. While Kieran led a humble life, he found it very fulfilling and had never asked Walter for anything. However, a few days ago, he had suddenly sought the man out and implored him to help find a skilled doctor to treat his wife.
