A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 74

Then, he patted Donald’s shoulder. “Donald, you should reflect on yourself. I told you not to stir trouble, but you refused to listen to me. Today, you finally had a taste of your own medicine. Am I right?”

Donald’s face turned a deep shade of red as he lowered his head in embarrassment.

After Jared moved a few meters back, he finally regained his footing. Then, he looked up to look at Axton.

He knew he was no match for the older man. After all, he could stop Jared without much effort.

“Are both of you planning to attack me together?”

Although Jared knew how strong Axton was, he did not back down.

“Hey, you have misunderstood me. How could I bully someone weaker than me? If I abuse my powers to corner a weaker person, I would be ruining the reputation of Medicine God Sect.” The man hurriedly introduced himself, “I am Axton Knox, an elder of the Medicine God Sect. He is Donald Yorkson, who is one of our disciples. We did not have ulterior motives when we came here and did not intend to steal your pill. I hope you don’t misunderstand. Although I don’t know what’s your name, I hope we have a chance to exchange knowledge on alchemy.”

Seeing how sincere Axton looked, Jared responded, “I am Jared Chance. Although I understand alchemy, this is not a pill I created.”

He did not lie. Based on his skills, he could not possibly create a detoxification pill like this.

“Oh, I was still trying to figure out how a person as young as you could come up with such a high-tier pill. It makes sense now that you aren’t the person who made it.” Axton slowly nodded his head.

However, he suddenly froze and curiously looked at Jared. “W-What is your name again?”

“I am Jared Chance.” Jared raised his brows in confusion, unsure why Axton would ask for his name again.

“Are you the person who is going to challenge Xander tomorrow?” Donald gasped.

Jared nodded. “Yes, that is me.”

“Hahaha, as the saying goes, heroes are created from a young age. I never expected you to be this young. The truth is, we came to Horington to watch the match. Previously, I was curious about the man who dared to accept Xander’s challenge. Little did I expect to run into the man himself,” Axton mused while looking at Jared with respect.

On the other hand, Donald snorted, “Xander is currently a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Judging from your abilities, I think he could destroy you in one move. I can’t believe you still have the guts to challenge him. Don’t you know your limits?”

Still upset after losing to Jared, Donald could not help but ridicule him.

“How do you know how strong I am? I’ve only utilized one-third of my power earlier to defeat you,” Jared mocked in response.

“You-” Agitated by Jared’s words, Donald snarled, “Don’t try to act tough! We shall see how you die tomorrow-”

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it. Now, I have to invite you to leave since this is my place,” Jared interrupted him with a cold expression.

However, Axton ignored Jared’s request. Planting a smile on his face, he asked, “Hey, how about we strike a deal?”

“What deal?” Jared glanced at Axton and questioned.

“If I save your life, you will hand me the pill,” Axton offered.

It seemed like he still wanted to take the detoxification pill from Jared.

“Save my life?” Jared looked puzzled as he could not comprehend what the older man meant.

“Tomorrow, you would most likely lose in the fight with Xander. You killed his son, so do you think he would spare your life in the arena? Even so, I could save you. If I intervene, I can send Xander running for the hills. Wouldn’t I be saving your life?” Axton reasoned.
