A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5006

The envoy's gaze toward Jared grew colder. His killing intent surged. Jared could feel the pressure. He gripped his Dragonslayer Sword tightly, his face deadly serious.

Facing this wyrm transformation technique, Jared couldn't afford a single misstep. His life was on the line.

“Mr. Vermilion, if I falter, I need you to step in,” Jared called out in his mind to the Vermilion Demon Lord.

“Not a chance,” came the lazy reply. Vermilion Demon Lord lounged in Jared's consciousness field like he didn't have a care in the world.

Jared snapped, “You ate my food, drank my wine, crashed at my place, and now you talk to me like that? Where's your conscience?”

“Don't rely on me for everything,” Vermilion Demon Lord chuckled. “You've got to know your own strength. Push yourself to the edge. Otherwise, how would you know that you're trash?”

“F*ck...” Jared muttered, exasperated.

Just then, the envoy disappeared. Jared's brow furrowed. He stepped forward and brought his sword down in a heavy arc.

Boom!

A tremendous force resisted his strike, flinging him backward. The envoy reappeared, slamming a punch at Jared. The blow radiated murderous intent, enough to make the world pale.

Jared knew that if it hit, he wouldn't die, but he'd be in bad shape.

Just as the punch was about to land, a long spear streaked through the air.

Boom!

The envoy was blasted back by the impact.

A girl in white appeared, spear in hand, a Necro Ring dangling at her neck. She looked like she'd stepped out of legend, barely missing the Fire Wheels beneath her feet.

“A dignified envoy of the Celestial Palace attacking a kid? Have you no shame?” she demanded, staring him down without a hint of fear.

“Who are you?” The patrol officer asked, his brows furrowed as he fixed his gaze intently on the girl in white before him.

She ignored him and turned to the injured Jared instead. “Are you all right?”

“I'm fine.” Jared nodded. “Thank you, miss, for saving me.”

Boom!
