A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4579

“The question I just asked you, about the ancient tree inside the prison... How come you—”

Jared wanted to inquire further about the ancient tree in Donovan's prison. He couldn't help but feel that there was something off about that ancient tree.

Before he could even finish her sentence, a commotion erupted from outside the door.

“Mr. Niel, the alpha private room really is occupied at the moment. How about I arrange the beta private room for you instead?”

“F*ck you! I want the alpha private room. Whoever's in there, tell them to get the hell out for me!”

Immediately after, the door to the VIP room was kicked open with force.

A few young cultivators strolled in, followed by a visibly flustered waiter.

These young cultivators were all dressed remarkably well, giving off the impression that they were wealthy heirs.

It was especially the case for the young man leading the group. He was holding a hand fan, his face exuding an air of defiant arrogance.

“I was wondering who was in the alpha private room. So it turns out it's Mr. Reese, huh?”

The young cultivator who was leading the group caught sight of Donovan and spoke in a chilling tone.

“So it's Mr. Niel. What brings you the pleasure of dining here today?”

Quickly, Donovan stood up, addressing Niel Buckley.

“Today, I'm hanging out with a few friends. We particularly favor this alpha private room, and we hope that Mr. Reese lets us have this room,” Niel said to Donovan.

Although his words spoken were quite polite, the tone carried an undertone of command.

“Mr. Niel, I'm just having a chat with a friend. I won't be staying long. You guys can—”

Before Donovan could finish speaking, a cultivator standing behind Niel scoffed coldly. “Donovan, when Niel tells you to leave, he's doing you a favor. Don't think you're something special just because you collect celestial crystals for the city lord mansion. If you upset Niel, you'll get a few slaps and then be told to get lost...”

Donovan's face darkened, his eyebrows furrowing deeply. Especially in front of Jared, being intimidated by a youngster was utterly embarrassing.

“Who do you think you are? This is Beast City. Anyone who dares to recklessly use their aura to attack will be thrown in jail,” Donovan exclaimed.

After sitting down, Donovan huffed.

“I see that the guy's abilities aren't that impressive. If it doesn't upset you, I can give him a beating on your behalf.”

Jared looked at Donovan's huffing appearance and let out a slight chuckle.

“No, no...” Upon hearing this, Donovan hurriedly stopped Jared, saying, “We cannot act rashly in Beast City. If we get caught and thrown into the prison, it's certain death.”

“It was just a couple of slaps. Are they going to sentence me to death for that?” Jared dismissed it nonchalantly.

“You wouldn't be sentenced to death, but once you're in prison, getting out would be tough. It wouldn't take long before it drains the life out of you, leaving you a husk of your former self,” Donovan murmured.

“Drain my life?” Jared was slightly taken aback.

Donovan was immediately flustered, realizing he had misspoken. He quickly gestured with his hands. “Stop asking and just follow the rules. Whatever you do, don't get thrown into jail.”

“Are you hiding something from me? Earlier when I asked about the towering ancient tree in the prison, it seemed like you were constantly evading the topic. Is there something unusual about that ancient tree? Is there some kind of arcane array within the prison?” Jared turned to Donovan.
