A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2854

Upon witnessing the scene before them, the two clanspeople with Vasily quickly stepped forward to bring Vasker under control.

“I’m sorry you had to see that, Mr. Chance,” Vasily said rather sheepishly before waving his people off. “Take him away…”

Within seconds, Vasker was escorted out of the courtyard. As soon as he saw the guards near the entrance, he yelled to get their attention, “Help! Help! There’s been a fight, and I was beat up…”

Vasily, too, had a noticeable change in his expression when he noticed the Jipsdale guards, prompting him to turn to his clanspeople. “I want you guys to bring Vasker back. I’ll stay behind to accept the punishment in Jipsdale.”

With that, the two men nodded and moved forward with Vasker firmly in their grip while Vasily prepared himself for the guards’ interrogation and punishment.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Let’s go…” Jared said smilingly as he gave Vasily a pat on the shoulder. Even though the latter didn’t understand what Jared meant, he did as instructed and followed the man.

“Help! Please help me!” Vasily once again cried out when he passed the guards, clearly making a last-ditch effort to save his skin..

On the contrary, Vasily was a bundle of nerves as he braced himself for questioning. To everyone’s surprise, Vasker’s screams seemed to fall on deaf ears, with the guards looking away and pretending not to see anything.

Dumbfounded, Vasily could only stare at the guards in utter disbelief. Even when they had walked some distance away, none of the guards chased after them.

“How odd! What’s with those guards today?” a perplexed Vasily wondered aloud. Jared curled his lips into a smile. “Didn’t I tell you everything will be fine with me here?”

Vasily asked. “I plan to go to the far north to look for the treasure. Truth be told, I bought one of the treasure maps your brother was selling,” Jared answered frankly, Vasily instantly beamed with excitement. “Are you going on a treasure hunt, Mr. Chance?

That’s great! We’re heading in the same direction, and I know the far north like the back of my hand. I might be able to help you locate the treasure!”

Jared, however, felt a little embarrassed and bewildered. I can’t possibly get him to help me dig for his ancestors’ treasure, can I? Wouldn’t that be crossing the line? More importantly, why is he offering his assistance?

“Vasily, aren’t you guys angry that someone’s trying to dig up the Archaic Body cultivators’ treasure? Won’t you all want to do the same and beat the others to it?”
