A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 Abandoned

“Somebody, stop him!” Steinar yelled, trying to create an opportunity to escape.

However, the majority of the Shalvis family were already nowhere to be seen, save for those who were dead or injured. There were a few Martial Arts Grandmasters guarding Steinar initially, but even their last resort, the arcane array, could not rival Jared. Hence, most of them had already absconded the scene.

“Try outrunning this!”

Lightning rained down on Steinar’s way as he made his escape. It was as if Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword was imbued with lightning itself.

“The Shalvis family is nothing. Your family shall have no bearing on the martial arts world in Jadeborough from now on,” Jared chided coldly as he shot a death glare at Steinar.

Steinar knew that there was no way he could escape the scene. At the sight of the bodies strewn across the floor, and the few people left standing who was guarding him, the man knew that the Shalvis family was truly doomed.

However, he still could not wrap his head around the fact that Jared, the man whom he could not even care to pay heed to before, somehow managed to destroy two prominent families on the same day.

“Jared, I’m sorry. Please, I know that I’ve done you wrong. The Shalvis family will be at your beck and call from now on. We will listen to your every word and instruction!”

Steinar finally conceded defeat, and to a young man in his twenties, no less.

Right then, nothing mattered to Steinar anymore, not dignity, not reputation, nothing. His life was the only thing that mattered. He had only one chance at living, and Steinar knew that he could only make his comeback if he was alive.

However, it was entirely up to Jared to decide whether Steinar lived or died.

“After killing you right now, the control and power over the Shalvis family will still fall into my hand.”

Jared shot a frigid stare at Steinar. He was not going to let the latter off the hook.

With that, Jared lifted the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand.

Steinar’s eyes went wide with horror, his body immobilized at the sight of the Dragonslayer Sword. He had lost all hope. Steinar knew that his fate would not change even if he flinched and tried to dodge Jared’s attack.

“Stop!”

Just when Jared was about to swing his sword, a stern voice rang out.

Then, a wave of martial energy was sent hurtling in Jared’s direction.

Warren leveled a cold stare at Jared as his eyes flashed with a murderous glint.

“Mr. Gordon, please save me… save me!” Steinar exclaimed as soon as he spotted Warren.

Warren showing himself meant that Steinar might actually have a shot at living.

Wrea was excited as well as he hurriedly steadied Steinar and headed in Warren’s direction.

“Nobody will be able to save you guys, not even God himself.”

As Jared noticed that Wrea and Steinar planned to hide behind Warren, he swung his sword viciously in their direction.

The sword energy formed a wave and rippled toward Steinar.

Steinar hid behind Wrea and used the latter as a support to make a leap to hide behind Warren.

Wrea was stumped. He never imagined that his own brother would abandon him at a life-and-death moment.
