A Man Like None Other - Season 9 Episode 23

“Sylvester! He killed Xander. Now that he’s right in front of us, why are you stopping me?” Sean couldn’t understand why Sylvester was stopping him from taking revenge. It was the perfect chance as well.

“Did you forget what the Deragons said? Starting a fight on this ship means you’re breaking the rules, but they can’t do anything once we disembark. Who knows, maybe the Deragons will kill him for us. After all, bringing pretty ladies around with him in a place like this is just asking for trouble.” Sylvester sneered at Jared.

This guy just embarrassed Godrick in front of everyone. The Deragons are famously arrogant. They will never leave this guy alive.

Sean finally calmed down after hearing that, and he scoffed at Jared. “Fine. I’ll let you live for now, but I will make you beg for your life once we get to the island.”

“F*ck off, mongrels. You’re in my way. If you don’t want to fight, then piss off.” Jared shrugged their threats off and shoved Sean away before he and the ladies went to their room.

Sean glared at Jared and spat, “You might think you can insult us now, but you’ll be paying for that.” Then he looked at Sylvester. “Who are the Deragons anyway? Are they really powerful? I’ve never heard of them before. And what about the Shadow Estate? And the Thunderstorm Sect. I’ve never heard about them either.”

Sylvester looked at his brother in displeasure. “You spend all your time partying, so of course, you know nothing about them. The Coopers would have fallen apart if it weren’t for Xander. And I’ll be staying in the ancestral land in the future. I can’t come back frequently, so it’s up to you now to support the family. You had better work for it,” he scolded.

Sean took a step back and stopped talking.

The trip went by quickly, and everyone finally saw Dragon Island. Even before they disembarked, they could feel a freezing gale blowing at them, sending a chill down their spines.

It was summer, so there was no need for thick clothes, or so they thought. To their surprise, Dragon Island was covered in snow, the total opposite of what summer was supposed to look like.

When Jared saw the snow-covered island, he commented, “I see. So the legends are true.”

The ferry docked at the pier, and Godrick announced through the PA system, “Passengers, the mountain you see before you is Mount Icedrake. You may disembark now if you wish to land here. We will go around the island in a while and disembark at the other pier. The choice is yours to make.”

The ferry’s spiral staircase descended, allowing the passengers to disembark. However, none of them left the ferry even after a while. Nobody wanted to land on an icy land. And since the whole place was covered in snow, there would be no herbs in a place like this, and all the martial artists came to the island to get their hands on the herbs and beasts, both of which the icy lands did not contain.

Since nobody was disembarking, the staff was about to pull the staircase back up, but then, Jared and the ladies appeared and went down the staircase, much to everyone’s surprise.

Seeing this, the crowd broke out into a heated discussion.

“Is this guy mad? Not to mention he’s taking the ladies with him? They might freeze to death here.”

“They don’t look like they’re here on a treasure hunt. More like they’re on a vacation. I mean, who in their right mind would take three women with them on a treasure hunt, right?”

“Ah, they won’t freeze to death. They can huddle together and work out to warm themselves up. Get my drift?”

“Dang, that kid’s one lucky b*stard to have three women at once.”

The passengers were envious of Jared for leaving with the ladies.
