A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4737

Upon arrival at Twilight Imperial City, Jared followed Fraser into the imperial palace's grand hall, while the others were sent elsewhere at Fraser's arrangement.

After all, Fraser had brought Jared to plead for forgiveness before his father. If Orion and the others came along, things might escalate into a full-blown conflict.

“Emperor Lantz, you must stay calm. A lesson is fine, but don't go too far. We don't want to kill him,” Infinides advised Corrado.

“Don't worry, Abbot Infinides, I'll spare his life. But I'll make sure he learns his lesson. He'll lie in bed for the next ten years!” Corrado huffed angrily.

“As long as you spare his life, that's fine.”

With that, Infinides turned and left, knowing that his presence would only make things more awkward.

Just as he departed, Jared entered the hall with Fraser.

“Father, I've brought Jared. After looking into the situation, I found that he didn't know Dorian's identity at the time. That's why he attacked him. Now that he understands, he's here to apologize,” Fraser quickly spoke up for Jared.

“You're pleading for him?” Corrado asked, narrowing his eyes at Fraser.

“I'm not pleading, just stating the facts. As for how to handle it, that's up to you, Father,” Fraser replied.

“Hmph! Even if he didn't know, he won't escape punishment.” Corrado snorted coldly, then looked at Jared. “Cut off your own arm, and I'll forgive you.”

“Cut off an arm?” Jared was stunned.

Fraser was equally shocked—he hadn't expected his father to be this ruthless, making Jared sever his own arm.

If Jared really did it, his strength would take a massive hit!

“Father, he's Catalina's man! If he loses an arm, what will she do?” Fraser brought up his sister Catalina as he knew that their father loved her the most.

“Losing an arm doesn't make him useless. He can still practice dual cultivation. It won't be a problem,” Corrado said indifferently.

“But he—”

“Get out!” Corrado roared before Fraser could argue further.

Fraser flinched at his father's fury. He had no choice but to slowly back out of the hall.

As he passed Jared, he whispered, “Be respectful and stall for time. I'll get Catalina to save you!”
