A Man Like None Other

“Now that the demonic sword has been destroyed, we can finally step into the afterlife...”

The elderly man gazed at Jared. A faint smile spread across his face as he slowly vanished into thin air.

To think that transient greed could even annihilate an entire sect! A sigh escaped from Jared's lips.

Jared then made his way out, only to find that Flaxseed was no longer in the same spot waiting for him.

Helpless, Jared took the same path back on his own.

In the meantime, Flaxseed was sitting around in the ancient ruins, looking devastated.

“I think we should head back. I still need to think of a way to tell the news to those women waiting at the hotel. That guy's too zealous for his own good. He knew the ladies were all waiting for him, yet he never learned to cherish any of them. Some nerve he had to bludgeon his way in. What a foolish, suicidal move,” he remarked to Gilbert and the others.

“N-No way... Jared won't die! He promised to treat my father!”

Tears welled up in Anne's eyes. If Jared's dead, who else can treat Father?

“Mr. Flaxseed, there's no way Mr. Chance will die so easily, is there? Did you see him die with your own eyes?”

Gilbert was also not convinced of Jared meeting his demise that soon. After all, the latter was the son of a dragon.
