A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4706

At the Tenth Hall, Quenric lounged in his quarters, not bothering to leave the place at all.

Neither was he even the slightest bit worried that Tennyson would pick trouble with him.

At the end of the day, his visit there was nothing more than a formality to add value to him. His family was a prestigious one among the celestials, so Tennyson wouldn't dare do anything to him.

While Quenric was relaxing, the gaunt old man walked in.

“How's it going? Is Jared dead yet?” Quenric asked.

“Mr. Haverford, although many have gone to Allardland, none has made a move yet right now. They must have some reservations about something,” the gaunt old man replied.

“I know their reservations. It's only natural that they aren't making a move. After all, it's uncertain if the Tenth Hall can even come up with a hundred thousand celestial crystals. Additionally, Jared has an expert backing him up. They would have undoubtedly investigated him, so they wouldn't be so easily manipulated.”

Quenric had seemingly anticipated that all along.

“Mr. Haverford, Dorian Lantz of Twilight Imperial City also set off for Allardland with some men. I reckon it's because of the Decree of Execution too,” the gaunt old man reported.

“What?” Quenric abruptly sat up. “That idiot fell for it too? Haha... Corrado has always prided himself on being astute. Unexpectedly, he has such a foolish son. If Dorian ends up killing Jared, things will truly get interesting!”

“Mr. Haverford, would Dorian be so foolish as to make a move against Jared? There are already quite a few cultivators near Allardland now. If others do nothing, he surely would follow suit as well, no?” the gaunt old man said.

“If he doesn't make a move, we'll just prod him a bit.”

After saying that, Quenric took out an item pouch and tossed it to the old man, instructing, “Here are twenty thousand celestial crystals. Give it to Dorian and tell him it's a deposit from the Tenth Hall. Seeing so many celestial crystals, he definitely won't hesitate anymore!”

“Mr. Haverford, are you sure about giving away twenty thousand celestial crystals just like this?”

Holding the celestial crystals, the old man was deeply reluctant to part with them.

“As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. As long as Dorian kills Jared, he'll undoubtedly ask the Tenth Hall for the remaining eighty thousand celestial crystals. At that time, I shall see how Tennyson will handle it!”
