A Man Like None Other - Season 5 Episode 86

Savior

“Do you guys have a bad history?” Tessa asked while looking at Jared.

“You can say that,” Jared replied calmly. Clearly, he wasn’t bothered by Isaiah’s threat.

“You brat! If you kneel and beg for my forgiveness, I will consider sparing your life. How dare you come to Salinsburgh after offending me?” Isaiah sneered.

“Salinsburgh is not your home! I can come whenever I want!” Jared argued nonchalantly.

Meanwhile, everyone was shocked by Jared’s attitude when he talked to Isaiah.

Given that the Fergusons, the Snyders, and the Larsons were the most powerful families in Salinsburgh, no one dared speak to them in such a rude manner.

Isaiah was stunned for a while and furious. After all, he felt embarrassed that a young man retorted him before the three families.

After a while, Isaiah glared at Jared and said, “Today, I’ll let you know whether Salinsburgh is my turf! Kill him! Kill him now!”

The next moment, the two subordinates of Isaiah sped up and threw a heavy punch at Jared.

Surprisingly, Jared stood still and didn’t move an inch as though he didn’t see them at all.

Feeling anxious, Tessa rushed toward Jared to ward them off. “Don’t kill him!”

“Sweetie, what are you doing?”

Jayden frowned when he saw his daughter rush to defend Jared despite the danger.

“Dad, Jared saved my life before, so I can’t watch him die. Besides, if words of this incident get out, our family’s reputation will go down the drain!” Tessa explained to Jayden anxiously.

Deep down, Jayden didn’t believe that Jared was the one who saved Tessa. Nonetheless, it would be inappropriate if he didn’t do something at that juncture.

As Jayden hesitated, Isaiah’s subordinates didn’t stop attacking and continued to spring upon Jared.

Right before they hit Jared, Daxton, who only observed the fight from the side, bellowed and rushed to Jared’s front.

“How dare two Seniors lay a finger upon Ms. Snyder?”

With that, Daxton threw his strong punches with both fists.

When his punches clashed with their fists, a strong wave of energy sent Isaiah’s subordinates flying. They spat blood out of their mouths and stopped breathing after falling to the ground.

Isaiah’s expression turned grim upon seeing it.

Meanwhile, Daxton looked at Tessa smugly and asked, “Ms. Snyder, are you all right?”

“I’m fine. Anyway, you’re superb!” Tessa shook her head and responded.

Daxton’s face flushed after Tessa complimented him. He patted his chest excitedly and made a promise. “Ms. Snyder, no one can ever hurt you as long as I’m here. I’ll kill anyone audacious enough to try that.”

As Daxton spoke, he didn’t forget to shoot a provoking glance at Isaiah.

Isaiah was irritated and shouted at Jayden, “Jayden, what is this? Is he related to your family?”

“Isaiah, Mr. Chance saved my daughter’s life. For my sake, please let it pass. Also, don’t forget what we are supposed to do for coming here to go to the hilltop!” Jayden reminded Isaiah.

“Da*n it. Two of my men have died. How dare you ask me to let it pass?” Isaiah said while gritting his teeth.

“Enough! It’s getting late, yet we haven’t found the entrance to the vein mine yet. It’ll be dangerous if we can’t find it and have to stay in the mountain. Also, we are unsure how many of us can leave the mountain safely. In that case, why must we argue now? If the young man is still alive after we go down the mountain, you’ll have all the time to seek revenge!” Cristopher stood out and tried to deescalate the situation.
