A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1723

Ono spotted Kazuo’s return and asked hastily, “Mr. Kawaguchi, where should we house this woman?” Kazuo replied, “Da*n it. This woman is incredibly powerful. Lock her in the Category A prison cell!”

Ono nodded and summoned some men to bring Evangeline to the prison cells. In the meantime, Kazuo whipped off his shirt, revealing a ghastly wound across his shoulder. He stared at the wound, his gaze brimming with ferocity.

After cleaning up the wound, Kazuo headed to the prison cells. When he arrived, he waved Ono and the others away, announcing, “Everyone, get out. I have something to say to her!”

Kazuo came to a stop before Evangeline’s jail cell, which was shrouded in an arcane array designed to suppress the abilities of its prisoner. Still, Evangeline did not display the slightest hint of panic as she came face-to-face with Kazuo.

“Who are you? Why do you know secret witchcraft from thousands of years ago? Did you reincarnate in a new body? Or are you possessed by an ancient spirit?” demanded Kazuo.

Disdain flitted across Evangeline’s features as she returned, “I won’t tell you who I am. You can investigate my background if you want to know more!”

Kazuo narrowed his eyes dangerously just as a cloud of spiritual sense enveloped Evangeline.

Just as the spiritual sense darted into Evangeline’s body, it was immediately shattered by some force within her body. Stunned, Kazuo jumped backward and stammered, “W-Why isn’t your ability suppressed?”

Evangeline smirked and drawled, “These little tricks can hardly affect me.”

Her body housed the soul of the holy maiden from Lunarius Palace thousands of years ago. Kazuo’s attempt to infiltrate Evangeline’s body with his spiritual sense was practically a joke.

The holy maiden’s ability was halved under the repression of the energy of heaven and earth. That was the only reason Kazuo succeeded in catching Evangeline.

I can only hope for Jared to solve this! At that moment, Jared was fervently absorbing the spiritual energy from the blood demon statue on Encanta Island.

The initial resistance of the statue had inexplicably disappeared, and its seemingly unending pool of spiritual energy had become a valuable resource for Jared and Deragon Sect’s members.

Almost a fortnight later, Jared had ascended to a Third Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis. However, no matter how much time he devoted to cultivation afterward, he no longer felt an improvement in his abilities.

He opened his eyes slowly and muttered, “It seems the spiritual energy in this statue can no longer support my cultivation.”

He froze in shock as his gaze landed on the blood demon statue. It was covered in a dense network of cracks, and it looked as if it would crumble at any moment.
