A Man Like None Other

Billy was stunned when he saw Jared preparing to attack. His energy surged as he readied himself to retaliate. But the moment Jared’s aura enveloped him, Billy froze in shock.

Noticing the change, Mia hesitated before asking, “Mr. Hickman, is something wrong?”

“You… You’re…” Billy started, his finger trembling as he pointed at Jared, but he stopped himself before finishing. He took a deep breath and turned to Mia. “Mia, could you step out for a moment? I need to speak with him privately.”

Mia’s brows furrowed in confusion. “Mг. Hickman, you must believe me! Jared isn’t from the city lord mansion. There’s no reason to doubt him!”

She misunderstood Billy’s intentions, thinking he still saw Jared as a threat.

“Mia, could you step out for a bit? We need to have a private discussion. Everything will be fine,” Jared said, his tone calm but firm.
