A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2536

Chapter 2536 You Are Late

Jared walked toward the camp after saying that. Brutus chided, “Listen to me, this is the Demon Wolf pack's territory. Don't you dare think of escaping. Once you're out of the camp, the Demon Wolves will surely come after you and eat you alive. You were lucky not to have encountered them this time.”

Jared ignored Brutus. When he was back at the camp, he kept thinking about Leifr. He wondered why Leifr was looking for him.

Is it because of the celestial beast aura I have?

Brutus looked at Jared, who was ignoring him. A murderous look appeared in his eyes. Villagers like Jared could never be rude to people like Brutus.

The night went by. Francois glanced at the white powder he had scattered before turning to the others. “Who was on shift last night?”

Those who had been chosen for the night shift came forward, and one of them was Jared.

“Did a demon beast come last night?” Francois asked.

The others shook their heads, but Jared nodded his. “Indeed. A demon beast came to the camp last night.”

“What kind of demon beast was it?”

There was a visibly nervous look on Francois' face.

“A Demon Wolf. It approached the camp but was startled and fled,” Jared replied truthfully.

Upon hearing that it was a Demon Wolf, Francois became less tense. He was clearly relieved by the answer. However, his reaction confused Jared. Aren't we in the Demon Wolf pack's territory? Are there other demon beasts around?

“All right, pack up your things. We're leaving.”

Francois headed straight ahead.

“Let's go!”

Brutus waved his hands, gesturing for the others to move. He led the people further into the area.

“You want to compete against me?” Chev laughed. “Listen, both you and I will never get the Grus Divina because I've found out that the spirit beast protecting that mystical herb is a bloodthirsty beast. We'll never be able to defeat it.”

Chev's words shocked the people in Francois' group. They knew their goal was to gather herbs, but they knew nothing about what herbs they were gathering and what dangers they would be in.

Now that they had found out that they were on a trip to gather a mystical herb that was protected by a bloodthirsty beast, they realized they were risking their lives.

Everyone shook in fear, but they had no other choices. They had already come all the way here, and they could not go back. Even if they wanted to retreat, they could never make it out of the mountains.

Francois could sense the terror radiating off the people behind him. He knew that Chev was saying such things to scare them.

“You say that because you can't deal with them, but whether or not I can deal with them is another matter that you'll find out soon enough.”

Francois' eyes were full of confidence. He had put on that look partially to give the people who had come with him a confidence boost.
