A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1807

Just as the man was stunned by Gilbert's counter-attack, Gilbert grabbed the man by the collar and swiftly dragged him along.

The man in black struggled with all his might, but to no avail. He was thus at a loss for words.

Thud!

Gilbert unceremoniously tossed the man ahead. The latter landed before Jared and was pinned to the ground by Gilbert, who stepped on his back.

The man in black glanced at Jared with horror in his eyes.

“Answer me. Why are you getting in our way? Have you already discovered the ruins?” asked Jared, looking at the man in black.

Although the man in black was terrified, he still refused to speak, clenching his mouth shut firmly.

Looks like he's planning to keep resisting till the end.

Seeing how determined the man was, Jared sneered and casually traced out some runes in the air.

“Heart Eater!”

Glowing spots then appeared mid-air in a flash before slowly entering the man's body.

Flaxseed looked enviously at how Jared could draw charms like this with ease.

“Ah!”

Soon, the man in black screamed in pain while trembling all over.

He felt like countless ants were crawling around his body, gnawing on his internal organs.

“Fine! I'll talk! I'll talk!”

The man in black could not take the torture. Just as he was about to speak, his head suddenly exploded.

Jared frowned and looked at what was left of the man's head. “D*mn it. This one has been hexed!”

He didn't expect foreign sects to also have a practice of hexing their subordinates' minds as a fail-safe to prevent them from betraying the sect.

“Gilbert, capture another one,” ordered Jared.

Jared did not understand why they lingered in the ancient ruins for months when they could've left after emptying the whole place.

“We have been building an altar made of crystals.”

The man in black dared not conceal anything.

“An altar made of crystals? What purpose does it serve?”

Jared was quite curious.

The man in black shook his head. “I'm not sure of this. Only Mr. Alex knows.”

Jared noticed that the man in black was merely a lackey who did not know much inside information. Thus, he reached out and ended the man's life with a single punch.

After all, Jared was not the type to court trouble by keeping his enemies alive.

“Gilbert, go help out and rescue that handbell guy. I reckon he may be of use to us.”

Given that Jared did not know what the altar was for, it was likely that Joel knew its intended purpose.
