Chapter 431 Are You Terrified
“Mr. Cohen, guys, it’s a surprise to see you here.”
Jesse hurried forward to welcome them.
Meanwhile, there were many others along the corridor who greeted the old man too.
The old man nodded slightly to acknowledge the greeting. In spite of that, he maintained a serious and haughty
expression on his face.
“Mr. Cohen, let me introduce you to Mr. Chance,” Jesse quickly introduced Jared.
Smiling slightly, Jared nodded at the old man to greet him. However, the old man only gave him the side-eye before
returning his attention to Jesse. “Jesse, you’re a disciple of the Extreme Fist and represent the gym in public. How
can you ingratiate yourself with a nobody? Wouldn’t that cause others to look down upon the Extreme Fist?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn response, Jesse explained at once, “Mr. Cohen, it’s not what you think. Mr. C—”
“Jesse, Mr. Cohen is right to admonish you. You will be representing the Extreme Fist Gym going forward. Therefore,
you have to have some spine when you conduct yourself. For this Martial Arts Gathering, Mr. Cohen hopes that you
can emerge as champion. Thus, you have to make sure that you don’t disgrace the Extreme Fist!” the scrawny man
interrupted.
“Fred, I’m afraid no one else is going to win the competition, as Mr. Chance is also participating in it,” Jesse replied
awkwardly.
Considering that he had seen Jared’s strength with his own eyes, Jesse was sure that no one could defeat him.
“Jesse, have you been paralyzed by fear?” The old man furrowed his brows slightly. “Let me tell you, if you don’t
win, don’t blame me for kicking you out of the gym!”
After letting out a snort, the old man ignored Jesse and headed toward the room at the end of the corridor.
Following behind him, the scrawny young man unleashed a massive force at Jared the moment he walked past him.
With a smirk on his face, Jared didn’t react and allowed the force to hit him. Nevertheless, his expression didn’t
change at all when he felt the impact.
When the scrawny man saw that Jared didn’t respond at all, he knitted his brows minutely. However, he didn’t probe
Jared further and followed the old man into the room instead.
As for the burly man, he smiled at Jesse. “Jesse, don’t worry about it. Mr. Cohen is always like that. All you need to
do is try your best. Taking into consideration your current strength, you stand a good chance in winning the
competition still.”
After patting Jesse on the shoulder, the burly man left to join his companions.
“Mr. Cohen…”
When Jesse saw them enter the last room along the corridor, he was shocked, as he had reserved the room for

Just when Jesse was about to run after them, Jared stopped him and shook his head at Jesse.
Even though he understood Jesse’s intention, he didn’t want Jesse to be scolded by his mentor again. After all,
wherever he stayed made no difference to him.
“Mr. Chance, I’m really sorry,” Jesse apologized in an awkward tone.
After he arranged for another room next door on Jared’s behalf, Jesse explained who those people were.
Jared learned that the old man was Lionel Cohen, who was the head of the Extreme Fist Gym. The burly young man
was Landon Goldin, while the scrawny one was Fred Goldin. Both of them came from the same village and had
become Lionel’s disciples at a very young age.
After chatting for a while, Jesse returned to the neighboring room. In a very short while, a loud argument could be
heard from it.
Now that Jared had a superhuman sense of hearing, he could clearly hear every word next door.
“Jesse, don’t get on Mr. Cohen’s nerves. That kid looks like an ordinary person. Why are you so terrified of him? In
fact, you seemed traumatized even before fighting. Is this how a member of the Extreme Fist Gym should behave?”
Fred scolded.
