Chapter 184: You Are Unlucky

Jared pointed at the top of the hill. “That mansion at the top of the hill is mine.”

“At the top of the hill?” Zayne stared, then burst into laughter. “Are you kidding me, Jared? Do you know how much a mansion on the top of the hill costs? Even if you sold your family, you couldn't afford it! That's the most ridiculous boast I've ever heard!”

Lydia joined in the laughter. Maria simply rolled her eyes. To her, Jared was hopelessly incompetent.

The sales associate, Faith, chimed in, “Sir, do you know how much that mansion costs? How dare you boast about it?”

“Who are you to say I'm boasting?” Jared demanded coldly.

“I sold that mansion. The owner's last name is Sullivan, not Chance. How can you claim it’s yours?” Faith challenged, waiting for an explanation.

“Someone gave it to me!” Jared replied with a smile.

Faith hid a chuckle. “Sure! You can claim someone gave you the entire district of Dragon Bay! That's not illegal. However, you’ve entered Dragon Bay without permission. I have to ask you to leave.”

As Faith finished, a security guard, Kevin, approached, grinning at Faith. “Faith, what brings you here today?”

“Kevin, someone barged into the district! You’re just in time to remove him.” Faith pointed at Jared.

Kevin sized Jared up, noting the battered Ford. He exploded, “Damn it! How dare you barge into the district I oversee? Do you want to die? I'm the head of security! You should have asked permission…”

Zayne interrupted, “Kevin, he also crashed into a luxury car at the entrance, and the owner threatened to beat him up. He probably barged in because he was scared. Catching him would be a huge achievement!”

Lydia nodded vigorously. Maria, though silent, looked equally displeased. I really don't want to deal with Jared anymore. His boasting is infuriating! she thought.

Kevin added, “You jerk! You crashed into a car and then barged in? You’re incredibly unlucky to run into me today.” He reached for Jared.

But Jared swiftly grabbed Kevin's wrist, twisting it. Kevin yelped in pain.

“That hurt, you jerk! Let go! Do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is the maintenance department manager! If you touch me, you won't leave this place!” Kevin roared.

“You attacked me without knowing the situation! How did you become head of security? I own property here. Is this how you treat clients?” Jared countered.

“J-Just let go… I’ll ask around first.” Seeing Jared's skill, Kevin conceded.

Jared released Kevin, who, rubbing his wrist, glared at Jared before grabbing his walkie-talkie. [The final sentence containing website information has been removed as it is promotional and out of place within the narrative.]
