A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 Who Ask You To Come

At the hotel lobby, Jesse was pacing around nervously.

The minute he spotted Jared, he immediately dashed toward the latter. “Mr. Chance, are you okay? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. What’s wrong?” Jared asked with a look of confusion.

“That’s great!” Jesse let out a relieved exhale. “The head of Herb Palace is an overbearing person. I was worried that they might hurt you.”

Jared smiled at his concern. “No one can hurt me. Just go to sleep.”

Jared reached for the boosting pill in his pocket and tossed it toward Jesse. “You’ll likely be the champion for the Martial Arts Gathering if you take this!”

Jesse glanced at the pill, not taking it seriously. Instead, he asked with disbelief, “Are you not planning to participate, Mr. Chance? I heard the prize for the champion was a hundred-year-old herb.”

Jared shook his head. “No, I won’t be partaking this time. I have to give you some hope.”

Jared had intended to join at first, but now that he had his eyes on all the herbs from Herb Palace. A hundred-year-old herb meant nothing to him anymore.

Excitement crossed Jesse’s face. “Thank you, Mr. Chance!”

Jesse thought Jared surrendered the champion title to him by doing so.

When Jared was about to go to his room, someone called him from behind suddenly. “Jared!”

Jared went back to his room to rest after helping the girls settle down. The girls had planned for a walk around town at night, but Jared had persuaded them not to. He didn’t want to accompany two girls walking around mindlessly in the middle of the night. There were many martial artists with crude behavior around the area, and he didn’t want to invite any problems with them.

It was around midnight when sounds of hurried footsteps roused Jared from his slumber. He rushed over to the window and saw several men chasing after a girl. The girl was running away from them with all her might.

The men didn’t make any sound as they chased after the girl, as though they had done it many times. Jared decided to return to bed at that sight. What happened between both parties had nothing to do with him. He wasn’t a saint, and he had no intentions of being one.

He was about to climb into bed when he felt faint spiritual energy emanating from the girl. It felt familiar to him, like the one from his mother’s jade pendant.

He opened the window and jumped out onto the ground below, then burst into a run, chasing after the group.

Soon the girl was trapped in a dead-end alley. Her hands were tightly holding onto something as she stared at the men chasing after her with a look of fear.
