A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2268

Chapter 2268 Familiar Face

As they ventured deeper into the mountain, Jared frowned because he sensed powerful auras from his surrounding.

After walking for a while, Kayden abruptly raised his hand, halting others from advancing.

Then, he shot a glance at a subordinate. The subordinate nodded, rapidly leaped into the air, and traveled across the trees.

Soon, that subordinate returned and reported, “There are more than a dozen people ahead of us, Mr. Macall. I think they're from other secret realms. I didn't have the nerve to get too close to them, so I couldn't see their faces clearly.”

“We'll take a detour and avoid them.” Kayden preferred to avoid a conflict with people from other secret realms. It's not worth engaging in a fight with them since we haven't gotten many beast cores yet.

“I think it’s too late for that,” uttered Jared.

Kayden was stunned before over a dozen auras surrounded them.

The unexpected combatants surprised Jared because he knew who their leader was. It was Claus, the man Jared met on Encanta Island in the past.

Claus was similarly surprised to see Jared. This is a resource area that only people from the Eight Major Secret Realms can enter, so why is he here? Isn't he someone from the mundane world?

Kayden politely waved at Claus and greeted, “Well, well, I didn't expect to see Mr. Lassen from Waxing Crescent Castle here. To think you're already hunting demon beasts so soon after the entrance to the demon beast secret realm was opened.”

“Aren't you doing the same, Mr. Macall?” sneered Claus.

“I've only just arrived, so I haven't met any demon beast yet. What about you?”

Claus shook his head. “It's the same for me. I haven't gotten any beast cores so far.”

“I feel the same.” Jared grinned.

Upon witnessing that exchange, Zain was bewildered. "You know Mr. Lassen, Mr. Chance?”

“I met him once before.”

“I'm curious. You're a rogue cultivator in the mundane world. How did you earn the right to enter the demon beast secret realm?” inquired Claus.

“It's because Mr. Chance is part of the Gunderson family, Mr. Macall,” answered Evangeline.

Claus glanced at her with a faint, silent smile but said nothing.
