A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4704

“Kill Mr. Chance over Allardland's dead body!”

As soon as Bernard had finished speaking, hundreds of cultivators ascended into mid-air, all falling into positions behind him.

With that, the atmosphere between the two parties grew hostile.

At that moment, Octavion was painting something or other in the room, while Lorelei gave him a massage behind him.

“What a spectacle! Unexpectedly, some fools believed in that Decree of Execution and came to Allardland to kill Jared!” Octavion remarked with a smile.

“Octavion, what should we do? Should we lend them a hand? I reckon Allardland might not be able to hold off the incoming forces,” Lorelei asked.

“Don't bother. I'm practically a dead man now, and a dead person doesn't have to bother with anything.”

After Octavion had said that, he went back to focusing his attention on painting.

In the skies of Allardland, Orion wore a slight smile as he said to Bernard, “Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. This buddy of mine isn't good with words. We mean no harm. We're just here to meet with Mr. Chance.”

“As I've said, Mr. Chance is cultivating and has no time for a meeting,” Bernard replied in a cold voice.

Knowing the other party's intentions, he showed them no affability.

Orion chuckled. “It's okay. We'll wait for Mr. Chance to leave his solitary training. Please inform us when the time comes, Your Majesty.”

With that said, he waved a hand. The three of them promptly retreated, putting distance between them and Allardland.

Upon seeing that, Bernard also led his men back to Allardland.

At the sight of that, Theron groused in dissatisfaction, “Orion, considering the limited capabilities of Allardland, we—”

He then continued, “Cassian is right. The Tenth Hall sent men to attack Allardland, but they all ended up defeated. This just goes to show that an expert is backing Allardland up. I also heard that Tavon from the Tenth Hall was instantly killed, only to be revived again. Such a feat is not something an ordinary cultivator could ever accomplish.”

“What? He was revived?” Theron exclaimed in disbelief.

“I've only heard about it, but the Tenth Hall wouldn't just fork out a hundred thousand celestial crystals for someone else to do an easy task. We absolutely cannot afford to be careless. Especially now that Celestial Stairway's appearance is imminent, we must be even more cautious,” Orion asserted.

With his brows furrowed slightly, Theron countered, “Orion, while that's true, you have to understand that fortune favors the bold. If you keep being so cautious, we won't be able to get anything. There's bound to be others who'll come looking for Jared.”

“If someone else comes, then we'll let them go first. You've heard of the saying that the third party profits when two parties fight, right?” Orion asked.

“Yes, yes. I've got it now!”

Theron nodded fervently in agreement.
