Chapter 476 Superstar
Jared smiled to himself. The three most prominent families would surely keep mum when it came to things like that.
Otherwise, others might want a piece of it too.
Now Jared knew why so many grandmasters had appeared in Salinsburgh all of a sudden. The three most
prominent families must be gathering their forces.
In order for martial artists to attain the grandmaster level, they would need to spend huge sums of money to buy
spiritual medicine as supplements. Unless they came from wealthy backgrounds, it would be very difficult for them
to achieve a breakthrough.
Therefore, several martial artists had no choice but to work as guards for others. As their abilities increased, they
were being paid more as well. Some of the business families would hire martial artists of high caliber as protection

The three prominent families must have offered extremely attractive incentives for so many grandmasters to come
running to Salinsburgh.
Just as Jared and Dominic were having their meal, there was a commotion. They looked up and saw a girl dressed in
a gown wearing huge sunglasses that covered half of her face. Only her pointed chin and tiny mouth were visible.
There were four bodyguards dressed in suits standing behind her. The moment they walked in, they scanned the
place. All four of them looked serious and ready to fight.
Dominic’s eyes lit up, and drool was about to come out of his mouth. “Oh my! Is that the superstar, Tessa?”
Jared looked at her and seemed enchanted for a moment. The gown that she was in showcased a good body
proportion, in particular, her slim waist. Her fair feet were decked in a pair of high heels. She looked as if she had
just stepped out of a painting.
One of her bodyguards called out, “Waiter, get us a private room!”
The waiter replied apologetically, “I’m sorry. All of the rooms have been taken. There are tables available only in
the main dining room.”
The face of the bodyguard turned cold, and he glared at the waiter. “Think of something.”
The waiter was so frightened that he stammered, “T-There’s really nothing—”
“It’s all right. We’ll sit in the main dining room then,” said the girl, and she found a table before sitting down.
“Ms. Snyder, Mr. Snyder has instructed us not to—”
“Shut up! I’ll just eat and leave!” The girl looked annoyed, so her bodyguard said no more.
Very soon, her food arrived, and she started gobbling down the food knowing that everyone around her was looking
at her. It looked like she really enjoyed the food there.
The four bodyguards stood around her with their hands in their pockets. It was obvious they were armed with

Jared muttered, “Looks like the Snyders isn’t an ordinary family.”
There were guns in the pockets of all the bodyguards. A weapon like that was forbidden in the country. People were
allowed to practice martial arts, but possessing an automatic weapon was an entirely different story. It was almost
impossible for anybody to get their hands on such a weapon!
Guns worked on the regular martial artists. However, it would be useless when faced with a grandmaster-level
fighter. Against Jared, a gun would be no different from a piece of metal scrap.
Dominic explained, “The head of the Snyders is Jayden. He used to be the boss of a famous entertainment
company and had tons of celebrities under his care. The company was doing very well. Later on, one of their
celebrities was caught committing some crimes that affected Jayden’s company as a result. When Hickoria stones
became the in thing, Jayden went back home and opened a mine. Now, his daughter has become a very famous
superstar.”
Jared looked at Tessa as he ate his food. However, Tessa did not seem to mind the onlookers’ stares. She was only
interested in her food. By the look of it, she must be in the spotlight every day and had gotten used to it.
