A Man Like None Other

It was too sudden, and Jared had not anticipated that this old man would suddenly make a move. For a moment, he couldn’t react.

Surprisingly, it was the jade pendant worn by Catalina that suddenly emitted a burst of red light, causing the old man to momentarily falter.

Only then did Jared and Catalina react. They quickly retreated to the fourth floor.

“Mr. Chance, what’s wrong?” Cyanna quickly inquired after seeing Jared and Catalina return hastily after they had just left and noticing their off-color complexions.

“A hunchbacked old man is upstairs. As soon as we got there, he suddenly attacked us!”

Catalina spoke out in considerable frustration.

“Hunchbacked old man?” Coall was utterly bewildered.

“That guy, true to his Veil Dragon lineage, really knows how to disguise himself. I’d bet even his appearance is a facade!” Jared exclaimed.

“Mr. Chance, can you confirm that guy is also a Draconian?” asked Cyanna.

Jared nodded and said, “Yes. I investigated the moment I arrived on the fifth floor, but I just didn’t expect him to launch a surprise attack.”
