A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1176

For those who had no idea, it was entirely indiscernible that the two men almost had a conflict some time ago.

“Sorry for the sudden visit, Mr. Norton!”

Coby got to his feet and inclined his head at Skylar.

Taking the main seat, Skylar inquired, “Is something the matter that you came all the way from Marsingfill to the Norton residence, Mr. Coby?”

Coby eyed the man, aware that the latter knew the reason for his visit all too well.

Nonetheless, he didn’t bother hiding anything since Skylar had asked as much, admitting, “Mr. Norton, Jared destroyed Pentacarna Tower and fled here from Xenhall. I’ve been pursuing him all the way. Alas, I lost track of him recently. Now, he has made an appearance and even killed Quintus Zabel of Malison Sect. I’m sure you know that as well. I know you also hate him, Mr. Norton. Therefore, I’d like to join forces with you to eliminate him together!”

Upon hearing that, Skylar frowned deeply. “Destroyed Pentacarna Tower? It’s an ancient artifact, so it’s impossible for him to do so no matter how capable he is.”

He had once heard about the origin of Pentacarna Tower from the butler of the Gardner family.

How could such a magical item be destroyed? Jared probably doesn’t have such capability.

“Are you doubting me, Mr. Norton?” Coby was stunned for a moment before he elaborated, “It’s true that Pentacarna Tower has collapsed. It’s now a pile of rubble!”

Skylar knew that the man couldn’t possibly lie to him, but he didn’t quite believe that Pentacarna Tower had really been wrecked just like that.

After mulling it over for a while, he declared, “I know! In that case, Jared must have taken the item that acted as the core essence of Pentacarna Tower that it suddenly crumbled!”

Since Pentacarna Tower is exceedingly powerful, there must have been some magical item in it. And Jared must have taken that item, so Pentacarna Tower collapsed.

At once, Coby’s eyes lit up. “Oh? What magical item?”

“Of course. How would I dare dupe you in Jadeborough? Well, unless I don’t want to return to Marsingfill anymore,” Coby replied with a chuckle.

“That’s true. No one dares to dupe me in Jadeborough!” Skylar crowed smugly.

Coby then left with the help he obtained. In his opinion, considering his own capabilities and the two Top Level Martial Arts Grandmasters, certain death awaited Jared.

Meanwhile, Theodore, who hadn’t seen Jared in almost a month, appeared to be over the moon when he laid eyes on the latter again at the Department of Justice in Jadeborough.

“Mr. Chance, I heard that you killed Quintus Zabel of Malison Sect! How gratifying! He was all arrogant as he clamored in Jadeborough’s martial arts forum! Now that you’ve sent him to meet his maker, I noticed that many sects in Jadeborough have started behaving!” he exclaimed.

Jared merely flashed him a faint smile. “Everyone wants to eliminate Demonic Cultivators. It’s all thanks to Captain Jennings that I managed to kill him.”
