Chapter 967
Caleb approached Hunter and instantly advised against offending Jack.
With a displeased expression, Hunter curiously asked, “How did you know that? Didn’t you want me to teach them a lesson not
long ago? Isn’t this a trouble you caused?”
The fact that Hunter lost one of his fingers all because of his nephew, Caleb, made him rather bitter.
Apart from that, the other party gave him respect and asked him to go in alone because Miles Stone was Skyler Celestino’s old
subordinate. If Miles was not there, or if Miles did not have a good relationship with the eight-star King of War, all of them would
have been dead.
The thought of what happened on this day still shook him to the very core, and all would be Caleb’s fault if he died because of it.
“Sigh... You don’t know anything. I was really angry when I thought about how you lost a finger. I thought about it and used the
trick—get somebody to do my dirty work!”
Caleb poured himself a cup of tea before he added, “You know how Young Master Chaffman likes women, right? Under my
instigation, we brought an impressive number of bodyguards with us. Two of them were masters who had combat powers
comparable to a six-star King of War, but they were all killed in a fight! The other party eventually spared us and let us go
unharmed!”
“Two six-stars Kings of War were killed?” Hunter inhaled sharply at that. Skyler truly was ruthless to have killed two masters
mercilessly.
“They’re not six-star Kings of War. They’re just masters from the Chaffman family who had combat powers comparable to six-star
King of War, yet they perished in the end. I estimated that the White family master must be exceedingly strong where you and
your friends might not stand up to his attacks. Surviving the ordeal, I rushed all the way here, afraid that you might’ve gone over
with your people,” Caleb explained.
Hunter glanced at Caleb before making an indignant noise. “Hmph! I’ll take it that you still have your conscience and still think of
me!”
Hunter once again smiled bitterly at this point of the conversation and said, “However, we’ve gone to the White residence just
now, and I’m lucky my friend, Miles, knows the master in the White family. I would’ve been a goner otherwise!”
“What?! You guys have gone there?” Caleb had chills down his spine when he thought about it. “You’re saying that they let you
go because Miles knew them and did it out of respect for him?”
“Exactly. We’re incredibly lucky, now that I think about it.” Hunter smiled bitterly. “It’s best not to offend the White family. We’d die
from it, and there’s no way of avenging ourselves then.”
Caleb never thought he would see the day his powerful uncle would say something like that.
He finally nodded. “Nevermind, nevermind... It’s good that we’re alive to see another day. Even though they’re afraid of the
Chaffmans, our family wouldn’t be able to avenge me. After all, our Quinton family isn’t even a third-class aristocratic family!”
“Has that finally registered to that head of yours? Next time, keep a low profile. Don’t come to me the next time you cause trouble
—I won’t help you. Don’t always think that your uncle will clean up your mess,” fumed Hunter, a cold, condescending smirk on
his face as he did.
“I understand. Still... I believe that Young Master Chaffman won’t give up as he’s never suffered such a loss. The Chaffman
family has never suffered something like this either,” theorized Caleb.
