A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1089

Chapter 1089 An Old Structure

“You misunderstood, Mr. Chance. I actually didn’t poison either of you. Your girlfriend is only unconscious because she’s under a spell. If I break the spell, your girlfriend will naturally regain consciousness,” Karl hurriedly clarified.

Upon hearing that, Jared finally understood why he couldn’t ascertain the kind of poison in Lizbeth’s body. Even Axton and the others couldn’t do anything about it.

It turned out that it wasn’t poison at all. Instead, she was unconscious because she was under a spell.

“In that case, hurry up and break the spell!” Jared urged.

“Where’s your girlfriend, Mr. Chance? I need to see her to break the spell,” Karl replied.

“She’s at the Gardner family’s five-star hotel. Come with me. If she remains unconscious after you break the spell, I’ll make it so that the Gardner family vanishes from the entire northwest!” Jared warned, regarding Karl frostily.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Chance. I can guarantee you that your girlfriend will regain consciousness!” Karl hastily promised.

He then rushed to the hotel with Jared. Before leaving, he threw Joshua a look.

When Jared and Karl arrived at the hotel, Karl didn’t follow Jared to break Lizbeth’s spell. Instead, he sat down in the hotel lobby and sipped coffee. The humility on his face was all but gone, replaced by a trace of smugness.

Jared’s brows creased slightly. “What is the meaning of this, Karl?”

With triumph on his face, Karl answered, “Nothing much. Fine by me if you want me to break your girlfriend’s spell, but you’ve got to hand me everything you’ve got. You also have to give me the draconic essence within you. Then, I’ll consider helping you.”

Jared was momentarily startled before he narrowed his eyes a fraction. Murderous intent emanated from him. “You’re courting death, Karl!”

As he said that, he stalked toward Karl in huge strides.

“You can decide that after watching a video.”

After saying that, Karl picked up a remote control and turned on the screen in the lobby.

In the blink of an eye, Lizbeth appeared on the screen. She was restrained by two men, and she had already regained consciousness by then, no longer in a coma.

The two of them walked all the way to an old mansion before stopping.

It was ten stories high. Judging from the structure and wall, it was probably a few decades old.

Jared couldn’t fathom why Karl would retain such an old structure in his manor.

Standing in front of the door, Karl muttered some incantation or other. The heavy iron door before them slowly opened.

It wasn’t until Jared followed him in that he discovered something special in the old mansion.

There were gold-plated ornaments everywhere, not to mention gilded statues.

At a single glance, it was exceedingly resplendent.

After they both walked in, the heavy iron door behind them slammed shut. On the heels of that, a mysterious and quaint aura penetrated Jared’s body and sealed his elixir field.
