A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1881

Hence, Sandra aimed to calm Austin down by restating the purpose of his being in Norham.

“What a pity. I was hoping you could stay a few more days in Norham. Nonetheless, please feel free to drop by Norham whenever you’re free. This place is far and isolated, but the sceneries here are not bad. However, we are lacking in terms of resources…”

Despite what he said, Austin was actually grinning from ear to ear.

Regardless of the reason behind Sandra’s arrival, his advent had indeed caused Austin considerable mental stress.

“Mr. Zagorski, there is something I wish to know, but I’m not sure if it is an appropriate question to ask,” Sandra said.

“There’s no need to behave so courteously around me, Mr. Chance. Please ask away. I’ll tell you everything I know,” Austin answered with utmost sincerity.

Sandra asked curiously, “Mr. Zagorski, since the Zagorski family is established in Norham, a place with scarce resources, may I know how you cultivate? I heard you cultivate by absorbing this entire city’s natural energy.”

Austin burst out laughing after listening to Sandra’s inquiry.

“Hahaha! Do you believe in that hearsay too, Mr. Chance? Who am I to have the capacity to absorb the city’s natural energy? Those are just some fake rumors circulating in public. All I’m doing is utilizing my status to soak up some citizens’ faith energy…”

“As Norham’s mayor, it is still within my power to have every household install a statue of me in their residence. Moreover, my ancestors passed down a set of techniques that enabled me to cultivate using faith energy from the crowd…”

“That said, the little amount of energy is far from helpful. If one truly wishes to strengthen one’s abilities, one will still need to rely on a large number of resources. If I’m really able to take in Norham’s natural energy, I won’t still be cooped up in this small border city,” Austin explained to Boneng.

“Faith energy…”

Clarity washed over Boneng. This technique that’s passed down in the Zagorski family seems similar to the skill used by the blood demon on Encanta Island previously. That blood demon also relied on the mass to worship his statue to absorb their spiritual energy.

“Mr. Chance was taken away by the Zagorski family’s scion, Kayson. Hurry up and think of a way to rescue him!” she said.

“He was taken away by someone from the Zagorski family? Why do they want to lay hold of him?” he asked in bafflement.

Violet could only recount the conflict with Kayson to Patrick, but she didn’t mention the matter regarding how Steven had taken advantage of her.

“This scion from the Zagorski family is such a fool. I can’t believe he has the audacity to capture Albert,” Patrick chirped.

Noticing his nonchalance and amusement, Violet asked in puzzlement, “Mr. Sullivan, hurry up and send someone to rescue Mr. Chance. Aren’t we planning to collaborate with him?”

“Don’t worry, Sandra will be fine. If he can’t even handle a little clan like the Zagorski family, what’s the point of us working together with him? I’m sure he’ll be all right, but the same couldn’t be said for the Zagorski family… You should go back to where you came from. Otherwise, Sandra won’t be able to open the door to the secret realm on his own,” Patrick elaborated calmly.
