A Man Like None Other - Season 3 Episode 9

Shattered

“Insolence!” Tommy roared and was about to lunge at Leonidas.

Since Jared was the overlord of Dragon Sect, there was no way Tommy would stand by and watch as Jared was about to get beaten up.

However, Jared stopped him and said, “He’s too strong for you!”

Jared realized Leonidas was too strong when he felt the force he produced with just a flick of his cane.

“Calm down, senior. There are a lot of people outside waiting to see you. Your reputation will go down the drain if someone sees you fighting.” Erasmus held Leonidas’ cane and advised.

Upon hearing that, Leonidas kept his cane and snorted, “Get rid of them before they annoy me even more!”

“Perhaps you guys should leave first, Mr. Grange. Once my daughter is healed, I’ll get someone to send the cinnabar rosary and spiritual brush to you,” Erasmus said awkwardly.

Walter then looked at Jared and asked, “Should we leave, Mr. Chance?”

Since Erasmus had already promised to deliver them the cinnabar rosary and spiritual brush, they had no reason to stay any longer.

In response, Jared shook his head. “I didn’t come all the way here to watch someone die!”

Jared was determined to save Erasmus’ daughter. He must be a good person since he’s willing to give me the cinnabar rosary and spiritual brush. I must do something to help him!

“Little brat, are you done?” Leonidas frowned and glared at Jared.

Erasmus was unsure of what to do as he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

“Could you stop acting so authoritative? Why don’t you try it out to see if I was telling the truth?” Jared smirked.

“How am I supposed to do that?” Leonidas was taken aback.

“All you have to do is just use your jade scepter to absorb the frosty energy. If your scepter is still fine afterward, that would prove that I was talking nonsense. If that’s the case, I’ll get out of here. Otherwise, it proves I’m right about what I said.” Jared pointed at the jade scepter.

“Fine! I’ll prove you wrong!” Leonidas picked up his jade scepter and started chanting as he stroked Erasmus’ daughter’s head gently.

Every time he touched the girl’s head, they could see a wave of frosty energy being absorbed by the jade scepter.

With that, Leonidas shot Jared a disdainful look and mocked, “Get out of here! My jade scepter is doing just fine!”

As he was talking, he was still stroking the girl’s head. Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard, and it sounded like something had shattered.

At that moment, everyone held their breath in astonishment.

In shock, Leonidas held his jade scepter closer and inspected it carefully. To his dismay, the jade scepter had a hairline crack.

“What happened to my jade scepter?” he gently touched it and cried. As soon as his hand came in contact with the scepter, it shattered and fell to the ground.

“Wow. It has shattered!” Josephine jumped and yelled excitedly while holding Jared’s arm.

Leonidas was utterly embarrassed because what happened had just proved Jared was right all along.

Upon seeing Josephine’s reaction, Leonidas stared angrily at her. After all, the scepter was one of his invaluable magical items. Naturally, he was displeased over Josephine’s reaction.

Josephine immediately kept mum when she noticed Leonidas’ look. However, she could barely hide the excitement on her face.

“Would you believe me now? There was no way your jade scepter could ever hold the frosty energy in her body. If it weren’t for her frosty constituent, she would’ve been dead long ago,” Jared blurted.
