A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858 An Explosive Temper

Shortly after Jared left with Leviathan, Kristoff, Sylvester, and Kenneth arrived.

Gaping at the severely injured Kristoff, Godrick inquired with bemusement etched across his features, “Mr. Shalvis, who dare to injure you such on this island?”

“I encountered a ferocious beast and got these injuries from the battle, Mr. Deragon,” Kristoff fibbed.

He would never tell Godrick the truth as it was better when fewer people knew about the draconic essence. If the Deragon family also knew that Jared secured the draconic essence, the Shalvis family wouldn’t even stand a chance.

The corners of Godrick’s mouth curved into a smirk. “A ferocious beast? Your arm was obviously chopped off. How could it be the doing of a ferocious beast when your wound is so neat? Are you taking me for a three-year-old kid?”

Kristoff lowered his head and said nothing further, for he didn’t know how to explain that.

Subsequently, Godrick swept a gaze over the few of them. His expression abruptly turned chilly, and his petrifying aura instantly enveloped them all. “Have the lot of you procured the draconic essence? Spit it out! Who is in possession of the draconic essence?”

He didn’t dare question Leviathan, but he didn’t have to hold back when it came to Kristoff and the others.

All three of them stiffened upon hearing that, but none of them said anything.

They all shared the same sentiments—the fewer people who knew about the draconic essence, the better. If the Deragon family were to learn about it, they would have no hope of getting their hands on it.

When Godrick saw that none of them was speaking, his face darkened further. “If you all don’t speak the truth, don’t dream of leaving this place,” he threatened.

As soon as he had finished saying that, the rest of the Deragons surrounded Kristoff and the others.

“Mr. Deragon, we don’t have any draconic essence. What are you trying to do here?” Kristoff demanded with a dark look on his face.

“Are you planning to make a move against us, Mr. Deragon? Although the Thunderstorm Sect and the Shalvis family are beneath the Deragon family, if you really dare kill us, both our families will demand an explanation from the Deragon family. You’re just from the branch family. Will the Deragon family offend our families because of you?”

“Mr. Carrall!”

The Martial Arts Grandmaster Kenneth brought with him swiftly leaped into the air to catch Kenneth.

Unfortunately, no sooner had he done so than the Deragons sent him flying with a kick as well.

Neither the Thunderstorm Sect nor the Shalvis family had the capability to go up against the Deragon family.

Kenneth slammed onto the ground hard, his face draining of all color. The fiery temper on him earlier faded away in the blink of an eye.

“Let me ask you this again. Where is the draconic essence?”

The chilly murderous intent radiating off Godrick had them all shuddering.
