A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1870

Swoosh!

Before Simon even realized what was going on, his right arm, which was holding on to the remaining half of his sword, had been sliced off at the shoulder.

It all happened so quickly that the blood vessels didn’t even have time to start bleeding.

Those standing around him could clearly see his flesh and bone through the open wound. It was a truly gruesome sight to behold. Blood came spraying out of the wound about a second later, and the agonizing pain caused Simon to scream at the top of his lungs.

Everyone was frozen in shock when they saw that. Even Jessica found it a little hard to believe her eyes.

Jared then raised Dragonslayer Sword and pointed its tip at Simon’s forehead.

All it would take was a little push to drive the blade through Simon’s skull.

The people around them quickly leaped to their feet and surrounded Jared. They were all dripping with murderous intent as they glared daggers at him.

Fearing that things would escalate even further, Jessica stepped forward and tried to talk Jared out of it. “Please calm down, Mr. Chance! If you kill Simon, then you will destroy your only chance at collaborating with Demon Sect! You won’t be able to save your girlfriend, then!”

It wasn’t until Jared heard Jessica mention Josephine that he slowly put Dragonslayer Sword away.

Simon shot Jared a fierce glare before sitting down and letting someone bandage his wound. That was when Patrick showed up with a masked man standing next to him.

The man was wearing a somewhat funny-looking bronze mask with rings decorating the sides of it.

Huh… Why would the leader of Demon Sect wear a mask?

Is he afraid of being recognized or something?

“Mr. Chance, our leader wears a mask because his face was badly injured,” Jessica explained softly.

Jared felt rather bewildered and puzzled.

“I have invited you here today to discuss a collaboration, Mr. Chance. If you hand us the blood demon’s body, we will help you rescue your girlfriend,” the sect leader said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

In fact, it sounded as though it took him a lot of effort just to force those words out of his throat.

“I don’t mind handing the blood demon’s body over to you guys, but how would I know if you guys are truly capable of saving my girlfriend?” Jared asked casually.

“I’m sure you already know this by now, but your girlfriend is currently trapped in the secret realm. The Warriors Alliance is backed by Evil Heart Sect. We used to be on the same side but went our separate ways due to differences in our ideals. I know how to open the door to Evil Heart Sect’s secret realm, but you will have to find its exact location yourself,” said the sect leader of Demon Sect.

“Oh, so you guys can only tell me how to open the door to the secret realm? That doesn’t sound like a very good deal to me!” Jared said with a sneer.
