A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1802

Alex was instantly exhilarated when he heard that. “What? Are you sure? Did you see clearly?”

“She was quite far away, but she did look very familiar.” The man in black dared not confirm what he saw.

“I can't believe Anne is really here...” The look in Alex's eyes turned frosty. “Bring a few men with you and intercept them. I want Princess Anne alive. You must not harm her. As for the rest, kill on sight!”

“Understood,” replied the man in black with a nod before he left.

Alex's face revealed a sinister smile. Harold had ordered Alex to kill Anne, but the latter wanted to capture Anne alive. It seemed like he had his own ulterior motive for doing so.

At that moment, Jared and company were unaware of the impending attack and were continuing their journey toward the summit.

There was a possibility that the entrance to the ancient ruins was at the summit of this snow mountain.

“How long further do we have to walk?” Anne asked breathlessly as she glanced up, trying to look for the summit that was nowhere in sight.

She was the weakest among everyone in the group. Hence, after long hours of climbing nonstop coupled with harsh weather conditions, her stamina was depleting.

“Why don't you rest here for a while? We'll come back for you once we find the ancient ruins and the King of Herbs.”

Jared knew that with Anne's current strength, it was difficult for her to continue the hike. If she were to push herself and follow them, not only would she not be of any help, but she would also become their burden.

Anne nodded in agreement. She was aware of her limitations and knew that she could no longer summon the energy to continue climbing up.

“The rest of the team will be counting on you, Jared,” said Anne.

“Don't worry. Andrew will stay and take care of you.”

Jared produced some supplies from the Storage Ring and handed them to Anne before making sure she would be fine. With that, he continued the climb with the rest of the group.

Danny did not say anything further, but he still could not comprehend Joel's reasoning.

Soon after, a thick fog appeared and blocked their path.

Something was amiss about the fog. It was as if it specially appeared there to get in their way.

“Mr. Joel, look. There's suddenly fog,” said Danny, looking at the fog before them.

“I know!” Joel answered with furrowed brows while giving his bronze handbell a light shake.

The sound waves disappeared in the blink of an eye when they reached the fog.

What a strange fog... Joel's frown deepened.
