A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2183

Chapter 2183 Conspiring Against Him

At Stormwind Sect, Hugh was about to leave to attend the meeting, but he summoned Emiliano before he left.

Emiliano had undergone genetic modification and gained immense strength. However, he made sure to conceal his aura when he was around Hugh.

“Dad, you wanted to see me?” Emiliano asked.

“Emiliano, have you heard about the Spring of Regeneration drying up and the collapse of KaziIlion Mountains?” Hugh asked.

Emiliano nodded. “Yes. People are saying that the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace have emerged, so many have already made their way up the mountain.”

“The earthquake at Kazillion Mountains may have been caused by the reappearance of the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace. I want you to lead a team to investigate, but be aware that the ruins are extremely perilous. Do you feel confident enough to take on this task?” Hugh asked, placing a reassuring hand on Emiliano's shoulder.

Emiliano was initially stunned, but the excitement quickly overtook him. “Dad, a-are you really letting me explore the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace?”

“Of course. If you don't go, who else is going to?” Hugh responded.

“W-Will my brother agree to it?” Emiliano asked.

Hugh snorted and said, “Your brother is still at Reflection Cliff, reflecting on his mistakes. That useless boy is just disappointing me more and more every day.”

Deep down, Emiliano was extremely excited. He vowed, “Dad, don't worry. I'll find the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace at any cost. Even if it's perilous, I must explore it.”

“Very well. That's the spirit of a true son of mine!” Hugh exclaimed, giving Emiliano an approving pat on the shoulder. “Make sure to bring a team of capable men with you. If any other martial artists try to take the ancient ruins from us, eliminate them all without mercy.”

“Mom, I'm going to Kazillion Mountains to seek the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace!” Emiliano came in excitedly to inform his mother of the good news.

However, he shut his lips awkwardly upon discovering that Tucker was also around.

“Emiliano, what's going on? Why did you suddenly get the idea to explore the ancient ruins?” his mother asked.

“Mom, it was Dad's idea for me to lead an exploration team to the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace. The collapse of the Kazillion Mountains is most likely due to its reappearance, and there may be valuable treasures waiting to be discovered. This expedition could also help me increase my strength! When I return, Garthor won't be able to act arrogant anymore. He will no longer be my match!” Emiliano explained eagerly to his mother.

“The ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace?” Tucker's brows puckered up. “That is a dangerous place. Why would Hugh allow you to lead the exploration?”

Emiliano said with enthusiasm, “I'm aware that exploring the ancient ruins is perilous, but my dad instructed me to bring more men to gain experience. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Garthor wanted to come along, but my dad refused. He is extremely disappointed in Garthor."
