A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 71

“No. I can only absorb spiritual energy from nature and not from another human…”

Melanie shook her head.

Jared was left in bewilderment. He shifted his gaze toward Rayleigh. “Mr. Deragon, how about you?”

Rayleigh shook his head too.

Jared was utterly stunned by that. “Not only can I absorb spiritual energy, but I can also absorb all energies, including negative energy and even toxic energy. I can harness all of them for my own use.”

“What? D-Doesn’t that mean you can harness energy no matter what you do?”

Melanie let out a shriek.

On the other hand, Rayleigh seemed utterly composed. “Jared, that’s your specialty. Only you can cultivate this Focus Technique. Please don’t neglect this cultivation method.”

Rayleigh left abruptly upon saying that. Melanie wanted to ask Jared some more questions, but she immediately caught up with Rayleigh after seeing Rayleigh leave.

Jared stared at the detoxification pills in his hand. Recalling what Rayleigh had said, he was more eager to find out his real identity. Why am I the only one who can cultivate Focus Technique?

He glanced at the bright moon outside. July the fifteenth was approaching. He had never waited so desperately for something to come. He did not care whether that day would turn out to be an opportunity or a danger, as he wanted to find out the truth no matter what.

Putting on his clothes, Jared walked out of his mansion. He gazed at the neon lights of Horington below the mountain. Although it was already late at night, the street was still full of traffic. Jared knew that one day, he would be separated from the city life forever.

When Jared was gazing at the city, two figures approached him swiftly. Jared had noticed them when they were around a hundred meters away from him. However, he thought they were Rayleigh and Melanie. Nobody would be there around midnight after all.

When the two figures were only thirty feet away from Jared, only then did the latter notice something was off. He realized their scents were different from Rayleigh and Melanie’s. He could smell the strong traditional medicine scent on them.

Jared furrowed his brows as he turned around immediately. He saw two figures, one old and one young. The older man with a white beard was around his sixties, while the young one seemed slightly older than Jared. Both of them were wearing a grey tunic, and there was an image of an incense burner on their collars.

“Who are you guys? Why did you come onto my property at this hour?”

Jared stared at them cautiously. He was sure their intention was unfriendly as they were barging onto his property without permission.

The two figures did not respond to him, but they shifted their gazes toward the detoxification pills in Jared’s hand.

“Mr. Knox, your analysis is right. This is the direction. Look at the pills in his hand. Those are not ordinary pills.”

The younger man’s gaze filled with greed.

The elderly nodded slightly as he glanced at Jared. “Kid, are you an alchemy master? Did you make these pills?”

Jared scanned those two men. He was displeased after knowing they were after the detoxification pills. Those pills were for Josephine, and there was no way he would give them to others.

“It’s none of your business. Who are you guys? What makes you think you can come onto my property like this?”

Jared sounded utterly cold as he questioned the elderly.

“Kid, how dare you talk to Mr. Knox like that? Do you have a death wish?”

The younger man was enraged upon hearing Jared’s tone.

When he was about to attack Jared, the elderly stopped him.
