A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 I Admit Defeat

Xander furrowed his brows. “Jared, I have admitted defeat. What else do you want?”

“Admitted defeat?” Jared smirked. “When I offered to spare you if you apologized on your knees, you rejected it. Therefore, there’s no way I’m going to let you leave today.”

“Do you want to kill me then?” Xander didn’t expect Jared to not let him go despite his submission.

“Today’s battle was to the death. If I had lost, would you have spared me?” Jared said with a grim expression.

The truth was he had never planned to let Xander leave alive. He believed that showing the enemy mercy would only result in one’s demise. Evidently, he wasn’t a man with compassion in the face of his enemy.

When the crowd heard that Jared wanted to kill Xander, they gaped in shock.

It’s unbelievable that a Senior Grandmaster is insisting on killing a Martial Arts Grandmaster. On top of that, the Cooper family is present with many Senior Grandmasters among them. Does Jared plan to take on the entire Cooper family alone?

“Jared, you had better not go overboard. My brother has admitted defeat, and yet, you insist on taking his life. Don’t you dare assume that the Cooper family is afraid of you!”

Sean stepped forward while the rest of the Cooper family surrounded Jared.

“Sean, today’s battle to the death is between me and Xander. All of you should back off if you do not wish to die. Or else, no one is going to leave this place alive.”

With a solemn look on his face, Jared unleashed a murderous aura.

“This is Horington, not Jadeborough. If you think you can cause trouble for Mr. Chance, you have certainly picked the wrong place.”

Theodore and the others were filled with frustration because Sean was right. Even though they had more people, there weren’t many of them who were stronger than Grandmasters. As for the rest of their men, some hadn’t even trained on their energy before. Consequently, strength in numbers was futile in the face of elite martial artists.

At that moment, the situation fell into a stalemate where no one dared to move or leave. All that was left was a tense Mexican standoff.

“Let me mediate this situation,” Axton suddenly suggested before walking gradually into the crowd.

As he strode forward, an invisible force opened a path in front of him by splitting apart the crowd.

With Donald following Axton from behind, both of them walked to the center of the group.

While many in the crowd were curious to know who Axton was, Xander, Samuel, and Theodore were shocked to see him.
