A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1237

Chapter 1237 Crimson Palace

After venturing ahead for some distance, the surrounding suddenly darkened significantly when the sunlight was blocked off by a patch of towering and lush trees.

“Why are the trees here especially tall? It’s the same piece of land,” Jared mumbled in curiosity.

The soil is the same, so the condition of the trees shouldn’t change so drastically all of a sudden.

Realizing this, Jared released a spiritual sense to survey the aura of the surrounding.

Soon, he realized that there was a vast stone somewhere in front. It had a height of more than ten meters, and there was a two-meter-high cave in the middle of that stone.

“What is this thing? Don’t tell me the stone is emptied out.”

Jared frowned and hastened his steps toward the rock.

When he reached, he realized the ground was bare due to human activities.

More importantly, this place oozed a relatively dense spiritual energy.

“There must be something about this rock.”

Jared gazed at the boulder only to realize it housed a usual and shallow cave. In fact, it was so shallow he could see the other end right from where he was.

There’s nothing special about this cave, but having a boulder in the middle of a dense forest is unnatural. I should probably check out this rock.

So, Jared decided to try again by closing his eyes slightly before releasing his spiritual sense in the direction of the rock. Just as he did so, his spiritual sense was deflected by a powerful force coming from the rock.

“Someone used magecraft on this rock,” he noted, puzzled.

Jared opened his eyes again and beheld that cave opening. Then, he climbed in without a second thought.

“Who are you, and what business do you have at the Crimson Palace?” one of them interrogated loudly with her face gloomed.

Jared could sense that her aura was hostile, so he quickly explained himself.

“Please forgive me. I don’t mean to intrude. I happened to be exploring this area, and I came across this cave.”

“If you really ended up here by accident, then leave while you can before we take action against you,” they said with their deterrent aura blocking Jared off.

Jared smiled. To him, there was no way these two Senior Grandmaster-level women could stop him. They were not powerful enough to harm Jared even if he did nothing to retaliate. Yet, since he had no intention of starting a fight and was at fault for trespassing on others’ territory, he decided to take their warning and leave.

“Now, there’s no need for that. I’ll leave…” Jared said, turning away, but before he could take another step, a girl in blue jumped down in front of him from the stone wall.

“Hold on,” she called out.

Jared looked at her in surprise. “Yes?”
