A Man Like None Other

“D-Don't come any closer, Cathy! I was wrong. Don't come over. I'll return the golden elixir to you. I swear...”

Hank appeared to have seen something terrifying as he was repeatedly begging for mercy.

He thrust an arm at his abdomen and dug out a golden elixir from within him amidst a spray of blood.

Jared took the faintly shimmering golden elixir from him and handed it to Flaxseed, as it had belonged to Cathy.

Flaxseed gazed at the golden elixir in Jared's hand with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Slowly, he reached out an arm and received it. After a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the golden elixir.

A familiar sensation coursed through Flaxseed's body. At that moment, he could seem to see the woman he loved deeply, who betrayed him.

With an arm extended forward, he caressed the space before him as though she was standing right there.

It was all due to the effect of Jared's mental energy. His intention was to have Flaxseed free himself of that misery of his.
