Chapter 522
Chapter 522
Jerico was a tough nut to crack. In the past two days, Jared had tortured him terribly, but even so, he did not beg for mercy.
The heavy iron door was opened, and a foul fishy smell hit their faces. The sliding sound of a wheelchair could be heard gradually.
Jerico immediately opened his eyes and stared at Jared viciously.
Jared seemed cold and stern as he looked at Jerico as if he was looking at an ant.
Jerico was soaking in the cold water cell. His lower body had completely numb, and he had lost all sensation. His upper body was covered with blood, but his face was fine. Seeing Jerico's contorted face, Jared slowly displayed a delighted smile. The grievances he had suffered from Isabella and Draxton were instantly soothed.
He laughed, "Jerico, do you know why I never touch your face?'
Without waiting for Jerico to speak, Jared interrupted, 'It's because the rich expression on your face pleases me."
Jerico's intimidated expression froze for a moment. He did not know if he should continue to maintain it or restrain himself and not let Jared get what he wanted.
However, Jared found his appearance even more interesting. He laughed out loud. "Look at you, Jerico. You're interesting.
'You've been arrogant for so many years and bullied me since we were young. Have you ever thought that you would fall into my hands one day? You're worse than beasts?”
Jerico's expression became even more contorted. He sneered, "Pfft, you are a weakling, sickly child! Trash! Even if you are living better now, so what? You have a short life. I want to see how long you can live."
As Jerico spoke, his eyes were filled with disdain. It was as if he had foreseen that Jared would not live for long. There was even a trace of a satisfied smile on Jerico's face.
Jared laughed too. He laughed hard!
Then, before Jerico could conceal his facial expression, he slowly stood up.
With the help of his assistant, he took a few steps forward.
Jerico's expression froze as he was shocked.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, finding the scene before him even more unbearable than the thought of breaking his leg.
"No, how is this possible? This is impossible!" he roared hysterically.
Seeing that he had suffered a huge blow, Jared immediately felt even happier. "Hahaha, what's impossible?"
Jared returned to the wheelchair and took a seat, declaring, "The Miraculous Doctor is here to help. What's impossible? Only a fool like you would dare to offend Isabella. See, I'm not like you. I not only never go against her, but I also become her friend. And now, she's healed my body. In three months. I'll be as healthy as a normal person, or even healthier. As for you...
He smiled. "You won't be around to witness my future, but you can imagine that I, Jared, will live a far more glorious life than you and David ever can. I'm afraid you won't be able to rest in peace even if you become ghosts, right?"
"No, no, no...
Jerico could not speak in complete sentences. His eyes were red, and his eyeballs were bulging. He stared at Jared fiercely. With every word Jared said, he could not maintain his facial expression. "Isabella, that bitch. It's all because of her. It's all because of her..."
He was at a disadvantage in Lucsia because of her. He was forced to return to Southeast Aelinne by Draxton because of her. Jared broke her leg. Until now, her current state was all because of Isabella! At that moment, his hatred for Isabella completely exceeded that for Jared.
"I'm going to kill her. I must kill him..."
The smile on Jared's face slowly disappeared. He stared at Jerico sternly and scolded, "You're really stupid. There are some people you can't afford to offend. Of course, a stupid person like you doesn't understand these things. Forget it. I'm relieved to see you in so much pain."
He gently raised his hand, and his assistant immediately pushed Jared away.
"Jared, don't be arrogant. Don't be complacent. So what if your body has recovered? Your life is cheap and doesn't worth a cent. You won't have a good ending. The elders won't let you off!' The metal door closed, completely isolating Jerico's howl.
The assistant glanced at Jared's expression and saw that he was calm. He knew he was in a good mood and could not help but sigh in relief. However, Jared's good mood did not last too long. As soon as he arrived at the hall, he saw the Chancely family's elders were all there.
Jared's face instantly turned dull, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
In the past two days, he had dealt with a few elders.
However, the few elders were all impatient. Once they saw David die, they jumped out impatiently.
In the name of avenging David, they wanted to blackmail him and take control of the Chancely family.
Without a doubt, they were all dealt with by Jared.
However, the smart ones had always been observing from afar.
Seeing that Jared indeed had a trump card and had already taken control of a portion of the Chancely family's power, they finally could not sit still.
Some elders were of the same generation as David's parents, while others were of the same generation as David. No matter what, they were all Jared's elders.
In the past, these elders would not even look at a sickly child, Jared.
However, it was different now.
The elder in the lead was a man with grey hair and a beard. He wore a long white robe and was a little chubby. Despite his aging, wrinkled face, his eyes still looked intelligent and sharp.
He commented, "Jared, we've underestimated you in the past. Compared to Jerico, you're more suitable to be the Chancely family's successor than him."
Jared Chancely sat in his wheelchair and locked eyes with the elder sitting in the main seat.
A mocking smile appeared on his face. "Oh? In that case, the elders are here today to invite me to be patriarch?"
The elder's expression did not change. He nodded and spoke slowly, "That's right! However, your health is not good. We old fellows have nothing to do, so we come to help and assist you. Jared, what do you think?"
Although it was a question, the elder's eyes were filled with unwavering dominance and even a tinge of threat.
It was as if Jared dared to refuse, and they would take action against him.
Jared's eyes were cold as he expressed, 'What if I don't agree?"
The elder's face suddenly turned dark. Before the elder could speak, another elder beside the elder sneered, "Jared, don't be ungrateful!"
"That's right, Jared. We're all elders. We're doing this for your and the Chancely family's best interests. I have heard that Draxton and Isabella live with the Chancely family. You're muddle-headed! They're the enemies who killed your father! Even if your father has mistreated you since you were young, he's still the Chancely family's patriarch. The Lockwood family even dares to kill our Chancely family's patriarch. Doesn't that mean they don't take us seriously?"All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"Jared, you have to think carefully. If they can kill your father, they may be able to kill you in the future. If you have dealings with them, it's like making a deal with the tiger for its skin!" The elder said earnestly.
