The Man’s Decree

Chapter 2844 The Treasure Map

“Mr. Chance, we heard you snagged the top spot in the competition, right?” Crixus said excitedly.

Jared nodded. “Looks like word travels fast around here.”

“Getting that first place must've scored you some sweet rewards! I was wondering if us three...” Juan chimed in, eyeing Jared with a grin.

“No worries. As long as you stick with me, I promise you three meals every day,” Jared reassured, giving Juan's shoulder a friendly pat.

“Exactly what I was thinking! Mr. Chance wouldn't leave us in the dust. From now on, we're ride or die with Mr. Chance!” Salazar spoke up, thrilled.

After all, joining forces with Jared beat living a life of petty thievery and scraps.

“Okay, we're about to leave Jipsdale. Better get your gear in order,” Jared said to Salazar.

“Mr. Chance, where are we headed? Back to Emerald Cauldron Sect?” Juan asked.


“I've heard rumors of a treasure showing up to the north of Jipsdale. Why not go on a little treasure hunt?” Crixus suggested to Jared.

Jared's brows raised at the mention of treasure. “Treasure? What kind of treasure? How did you find out?”

The thing was, Jared had never shared his treasure-hunting plans with anyone other than the countess of Jipsdale, and he doubted she would spill the beans.

Yet now, Crixus seemed to be clued in. He wondered if Crixus' treasure and his own were the same.

“Word's out that there's a guy named Vasker selling treasure maps around here. Lots of folks in the outer city have bought them, and apparently, they don't come cheap,” Crixus explained.

“Yeah, they're real pricey. Vasker claims to be some kind of Archaic Body cultivator. He says the treasure belongs to his Archaic Body Cultivation clan and has been in their possession for ages,” Juan added.

In an envious tone, he added, “The only problem is that his map's incomplete and doesn't show the exact location of the treasure. Still, folks are flocking to buy it. Vasker's rolling in dough.”

“Vasker? Vasily?” Jared's brow furrowed slightly.

He wasn't sure what the connection was between Vasker and Vasily. What are the odds of another Archaic Body Cultivation cultivator popping up?

“Mr. Chance, you're mixing up names. This guy's name is Vasker, not Vasily,” Crixus corrected.

“Oh. Take me to meet this Vasker now,” Jared said.

Jared wanted to get a firsthand look at who this Vasker was and the story behind his treasure map. He needed to ascertain whether this guy was truly an Archaic Body cultivator.
