A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1184

A soft glow shone on Jared’s body, causing the intensity of his aura to reduce significantly. His spiritual sense also wavered as soon as the light illuminated him.

The pagoda dropped down from the sky. However, at that moment, Jared’s eyes gleamed. His spiritual sense recovered, and his aura began to condense within him.

“Stop!”

Just as the pagoda was about to flatten Jared, Howard suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Jared.

At that sight, Lachlan swiftly waved his hand. The pagoda, floating in midair, disappeared immediately.

“Dad, what are you doing?”

Howard looked at his father in utter perplexity.

Trailing behind Howard was a middle-aged woman. It was evident she was Howard’s mother.

She gazed at Lachlan in bafflement as well when she saw the Dunn residence in ruins. “What’s going on, Lachlan?”

Lachlan’s face darkened as he said grimly, “Don’t mind the situation here. Hurry up and leave.”

“Dad, why are you hurting Jared? If you don’t clarify this matter, I will not leave.”

Howard wanted to know exactly what had happened. Lachlan and Jared had been getting along before he left, so Howard could not fathom why they were fighting now.

Lachlan wore a grimace. He did not know how to explain the circumstances to Howard.

Lachlan was too familiar with his son’s personality.

Otherwise, he would not have made up an excuse to lure Howard away.

“Your father wants the draconic essence in my body to gift it to you,” Jared explained after noticing Lachlan’s silence.

“I’m terribly sorry, Jared. Given a chance, I’ll formally apologize to you in the future. You should leave now,” Howard said to Jared remorsefully.

Jared merely gazed at Howard in silence. He did not know what to say either, so he spun on his heels and was ready to leave.

“You cannot leave!”

At that sight, Lachlan was anxious to prevent Jared from leaving.

“If you dare to stop him, I’ll end my life in front of you!”

In an instant, Howard took out a dagger and placed it on his neck.

The color drained from Howard’s mother’s face as she was frightened out of her wits after witnessing Howard’s action. Body trembling, she persuaded her son, “Howard, listen to me. Put down the dagger. Please don’t do anything foolish.”

“Let Jared go. Otherwise, if I die, the Dunn family will be without an heir,” Howard threatened Lachlan.
