A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4583

“You've had some seriously bad luck, but don't worry. This isn't the end of the world. You'll be out of here soon enough!” Jared said, directing his words at Ezio.

Ezio let out a bitter laugh. “How is that even possible? If I don't get out soon, I'll probably die in this prison. The only hope I have left is that my sister manages to gather enough purple spirit coins to buy my freedom.”

“Does she have the money for that?” Jared asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No,” Ezio admitted. “But she's been spending time with some rich kid. He seems loaded. She even sent me a top-tier pill to keep me going. If she can win that guy over, maybe we'll finally have enough to bail me out.”

Ezio had no idea he was talking about Jared himself. Hearing this, Jared couldn't help but laugh. “What if that rich kid is just messing around with your sister? What happens when he gets bored and leaves her behind?”

“I doubt it,” Ezio replied, shaking his head. “My sister might be a bit naive, but she's not stupid. I just hope that guy truly cares for her. If she's happy, even if she can't free me, I can accept my fate.”

Just then, the heavy door to the prison creaked open, and a hulking figure stomped in. The man looked like he'd barely evolved from a bear, his massive frame shackled in thick chains. The guards led him to Ezio's cell, unlocked the door, and shoved him inside.

“Hey, warden! Why are you putting someone else in here? Aren't there empty cells around?” Ezio shouted.

The guard smirked. “What are you yelling about? You won't be here much longer. This cell will be free soon enough!”

Ezio's eyes widened. “Wait, does that mean my sister's come to bail me out?” A sudden wave of hope lit up his face, and he burst into excited laughter.

The burly man glared at Ezio, sniffing the air in disgust. “Ugh, you stink! How long's it been since you bathed?”

Jared chuckled softly. “Is that so?”

Without warning, Jared kicked down the wall between their cells. The arcane arrays that kept prisoners contained were useless against him—they might as well not have existed.

The burly man froze, stunned by Jared's sudden appearance.

Similarly, Ezio was surprised to see him. “W-What are you doing here?” he asked incredulously.

“Why can't I be here?” Jared let out a slight chuckle, then turned to look at the burly man. “You, who can barely pass as human, think you're tough?”
