A Man Like None Other - Season 5 Episode 74

Loyalty

“Mr. Chance, will you become an immortal eventually if you continue to cultivate? Would you be able to fly and live forever?”

Tristan asked curiously like a naive student seeking for knowledge.

Jared smiled and shook his head. “There are still many things I don’t understand about being a cultivator. I have no idea where a cultivator’s limit is.”

Tristan suddenly felt himself asking too much. He immediately apologized, “Mr. Chance, I was just curious. I am sorry if I am misbehaving.”

Jared displayed a faint smile. “It’s all right!”

After they chatted for some while, Tristan shouted outside. “Please all come in!”

Spencer came in with his men.

“Spencer, listen up. All the herbs in Herb Palace will be under Mr. Chance’s command. Everything must go through him. The punishment will be death if anyone disobeys it,” Tristan uttered indifferently toward Spencer and those subordinates.

“Got it, Mr. Bailey.”

Spencer nodded obediently.

“Let’s take the herbs for Mr. Chance to put into the cars then!” Tristan instructed.

Spencer immediately turned to the butler. “Henry, please arrange for men to put the herbs into the cars. Fill all of them!”

After that, Spencer stared at Tristan and then shifted his gaze toward Jared. He seemed to have something to say.

“Mr. Schmidt, just speak your mind!” Jared told Spencer.

“Mr. Chance asks you to speak. Stop hesitating,” Tristan scolded Spencer.

“Okay, okay!” Spencer nodded immediately. “Mr. Bailey, Mr. Chance, a few days ago, the four elders of Crescent Sect came to Tayhaven Town. They stayed briefly near the arena and then left!”

“D*mn it. These guys surely came to find Mr. Chance for trouble. I will send some elites right away to destroy Crescent Sect!” Tristan was enraged.

He figured he had to display utter loyalty and respect for Jared. If Jared got into trouble, the Baileys would help out.

“There’s no need. I will destroy them personally after a few days!”

Jared waved his hand and then turned to Tristan. “I will be away for a few days. Could you please take care of my family? After I come back, please accompany me to destroy Crescent Sect!”

Jared planned to go to Mount Hickoria for a few days. He figured it would be safer to leave Josephine and Lizbeth’s safety in Tristan’s hands. After all, Tristan was more powerful than Phoenix. Jared was worried that Franco might come back for revenge. I shouldn’t have let Lizbeth let him go in the first place!

“Mr. Chance, don’t worry. As long as I am still alive, I won’t allow anyone to harm your family!” Tristan uttered confidently.

Coming back from Herb Palace, Jared contacted Dominic right away. Dominic was busy collecting stones at Mount Hickoria when he received Jared’s call. After knowing Jared was back, he rushed back to Summerbank.

Jared used the time to make some boosting pills for Tommy. He also made some energy condensing pills for himself. However, his strength did not seem to increase much after consuming them. As his level rose, he needed more spiritual energy to evolve.

The following day, Dominic arrived and departed toward Mount Hickoria again together with Jared.

Mount Hickoria was not exactly far from Jazona. It was just a few hundred miles away. However, the entire mountains stretched for thousands of miles across several provinces and cities.

There was a town named Salinsburgh under the foot of Mount Hickoria. Initially, the population there was tiny, and the citizens had a hard life. However, as the stones of Mount Hickoria became famous and the price increased, more and more people came for the stones. With that, Salinsburgh began to prosper.
