A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 Extremely Annoying

The moment the lake recovered its calm, a wave suddenly curled up. Like an arrow, it flew in Fabian’s direction, seeming to split the lake in half.

When he saw the attack, Fabian jumped into the air. The boat beneath his legs was instantaneously shattered into pieces.

Even though he had evaded the attack, the same couldn’t be said of the subordinates behind him. After they were thrown overboard by the large wave, their limbs were severed from their bodies, as if they had gone through a grinder.

The moment the poisonous creatures smelled blood, they swarmed the bodies that fell into the lake and devoured them.

As for the remaining members of the Crescent Sect, they fled to the shore after witnessing the gruesome sight.

“You truly are something. No wonder the four elders have betrayed me,” Fabian sneered in mid-air as his body gradually landed on the surface of the water, where he stood still.

If Liam hadn’t informed Jared of the stone columns in the water, Jared would’ve assumed that Fabian was so powerful that he could actually walk on water.

As Jared’s body descended at the same time, he landed on a piece of floating wood. Even though he was capable of standing on water, it would consume a significant amount of spiritual energy just to sustain himself. Now that the lake was littered with pieces of broken wood, Jared could save a lot of energy by using them as support.

Giving Fabian a look of disdain, Jared declared, “I’m surprised you’re unashamed of accusing others of betrayal after doing the same. You’re nothing but a joke.”

“More than that, for the Poison King is my godfather. The reason I disfigured myself and joined Crescent Sect was just to secure its resources. Soon, the Crescent Sect will be controlled by Mapleton!” Fabian gloated.

“Looks like if I kill you, there will be bad blood between Mapleton and me. This is a f*cking pain.” Jared sighed as he furrowed his brows.

Given how busy he was, he had not managed to find time to continue his training despite the impending arrival of the fifteenth of July. Even though he had achieved Foundation Phase, he still wasn’t confident enough, especially after Dante told him that he would be faced with a calamity on that fateful day. Consequently, Jared wanted to strengthen himself to face whatever that was coming.

“What did you say?” Fabian’s expression turned grim. “You actually think you can kill me? This is nothing but a joke.”

Just as he spoke, Fabian tapped his foot on the water and leaped into the air again. Throwing his palms out, he caused the lake to boil and unleashed another giant wave in Jared’s direction.
