Chapter 54

Back at the Glamor Hotel, the crowd had dispersed after the banquet ended. Walter got Jared to stay for a bit and said, “Mr. Chance, I need a few more days before I can get you the spiritual brush and cinnabar rosary you asked for.” “It’s all right; I can wait. Thanks for your help, Mr. Grange!” Jared smiled. Since my mom’s eyes have been this way for a while now, I’m sure waiting for a few more days won’t hurt. I shouldn’t rush this sort of thing anyway. “You’re too kind, Mr. Chance. From now on, just let me know if you ever need help with anything!” Walter said without hesitation. After chatting with Walter for a while, Jared planned to leave. However, Luca came forward to him right then and knelt down before him. “Mr. Chance, please be my mentor!” Having witnessed Jared’s tremendous abilities, Luca couldn’t help but hope that he could learn from Jared. Jared grabbed him and helped him up.“I’m not worthy of being someone’s mentor. You think too highly of me!” In actuality, the skills that Jared possessed were not in the same category as the ones these martial artists had. Hence, he couldn’t teach them even if he wanted to. “But Mr. Chance—” “That’s enough, Luca,” Walter interrupted. “Mr. Chance has already given his answer.” Although Walter wasn’t a martial artist, he knew how things were done in the community and that not many people would actually be willing to mentor others.Upon hearing that, Luca stepped aside and kept silent. “You can look for me if you need anything. But me mentoring you? I’m not qualified for that.” Jared smiled apologetically. “That will do, Mr. Chance. Thank you!” Luca was happy with Jared’s response. When Jared left the hotel and went back to Dragon Bay, he was puzzled to find that his parents were not around. Where could they be? They just got here and they’re not familiar with this place.
