A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849 Once And For All

Lizbeth bit her lips and stared at Jared with tears in her eyes. “I’m not leaving either, Jared. What’s the point of living if you die? I can’t live without you anymore…”

At last, Lizbeth had blurted out her innermost thoughts.

She had long fallen in love with Jared but only held back from confessing her feelings because of Josephine.

Now that the truth was out, Lizbeth’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Although Jared was stunned by the confession, Josephine remained unfazed. She held Lizbeth’s hand and gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s okay, Lizbeth. I’ve known this for a while now. I’m just glad we can both be with Jared, even in death.”

Lizbeth nodded excitedly in response, nary a trace of fear or panic on her face.

Death, to Josephine and Lizbeth, was nothing to fear. As long as they were with Jared, nothing else mattered.

Seeing the determination in their eyes, Jared knew no amount of persuasion would convince them to leave. At the same time, their words had also given him a morale boost.

“Very well then, I’ll do my best to keep us all alive!” he exclaimed.

After all, Jared couldn’t let Lizbeth and Josephine sacrifice themselves for him. Surrendering wasn’t an option; he had to fight till his last breath.

Ever the observant person, Josephine instantly knew what worried Jared the most. “Give it all you’ve got, Jared,” she urged. “Worse come to worst, Lizbeth and I will take our own lives so those sc*mbags can’t lay their hands on us.”

With that, Jared gave a firm nod and materialized the Dragonslayer Sword. He took a step forward as a terrifying aura burst forth from him.

“Looks like you’re quite the ladies’ man, aren’t you?” Sylvester scoffed. “You even have two women who are willing to die for you. In that case, I shall grant you your death wish!”

Huh? What the hell is that?

Despite Sylvester’s confusion, he continued charging at full speed and smashed his fist onto Jared.

Boom!

The punch had landed squarely on Jared, but he barely flinched from the impact. Sylvester, however, felt his hands go numb from the recoil as he staggered backward.

Instead of countering Sylvester’s attack, Jared slashed the Dragonslayer Sword at the oncoming Thunderstorm Sect Martial Arts Grandmaster. The blast of energy released was so strong that it felt like it could split the skies apart.

After Jared’s tremendous display of power, the Martial Arts Grandmaster panicked and beat a hasty retreat.

He had found it scary enough that Sylvester’s punch didn’t hurt Jared in the slightest, but the Dragonslayer Sword was, without a doubt, the final straw for him.
