A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4729

“All right, but if I end up hurting your mount, I hope you won't hold it against me, Mr. Chance,” Salathiell said.

“I won't. But if you get hurt, I hope you won't hold it against me either,” Jared replied calmly.

The Celestial Devourer wasn't even his own, and it didn't listen to him anyway. If it were to get hurt, the one who would truly be heartbroken would be Vermilion Demon Lord.

“Don't worry, I won't get hurt...”

Salathiell's figure vanished in an instant as he headed straight for the Celestial Devourer.

He was so fast that even his shadow couldn't be seen.

When Salathiell moved, the Celestial Devourer sensed something, and its mouth opened wide.

A powerful suction force drew Salathiell directly into its belly.

The others hardly had time to react. Salathiell's shadow vanished so quickly that they didn't even catch a glimpse of it.

“Where is he? Where's Salathiell?” Theobauld asked.

Fraser and Jared hurriedly searched everywhere, but they couldn't find any trace of Salathiell.

At that moment, Jared noticed the Celestial Devourer's belly. Suddenly, an idea struck him and he quickly rushed over.

“Spit it out! Spit it out quickly! He isn't a bad person! He's my friend!”

Jared shook the Celestial Devourer.

It opened its mouth and out came Salathiell.

At that moment, Salathiell was barely clinging to life. His body was covered in a sticky substance, and he was continuously racked with coughs.

“D*mn, that was scary!”

Salathiell's eyes were filled with fear. He was on the verge of losing his mind.

Fraser and Theobauld were both left dumbfounded. They had absolutely no idea how Salathiell managed to get inside the belly of the Celestial Devourer.

D*mn, my brother-in-law sure has some connections. He has stuff that even I've never seen before. He's just a bit stingy. He didn't give me a single gift. But it doesn't matter. When Catalina gets married, I'll make sure he provides a generous betrothal gift. If I'm not satisfied, I won't let Catalina get married. We'll see if he complies with me then!

A faint smile played at the corners of Fraser's mouth, as though he was certain that sooner or later, all the magical items Jared possessed would end up in his hands.

Two days later, Jaime personally delivered the celestial crystals to Jared.

Jared knew very well that even if Jaime were to bring him the celestial crystals, the quantity wouldn't be substantial, certainly not reaching a hundred thousand. So, to avoid any inconsistencies, Jared decided to meet Jaime outside Allardland.

“Mr. Chance, you asked me to deliver the celestial crystals, and here I am. I rushed over without hesitation,” Jaime said, his forehead drenched in sweat.

He didn't have an airship and could only rely on his own spiritual energy to fly. The distance was considerable, and the energy consumption was massive.

“Thank you!” Jared took the item pouch. “How many celestial crystals are in here?”

“A hundred thousand.”

“A hundred thousand?” Jared's body jolted. “D*mn, where did all these celestial crystals come from?”
