A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4961

Chapter 4961 Head Back
“Dad,” Rainah pleaded, “Bastian's been taken. We have to find a way to save him. If all else fails, we should storm Winged Tiger City, even if we have to risk everything.”

“Don't panic,” Maceo replied calmly. “Even though they've taken Bastian, it's nothing more than leverage. They're trying to force my hand to trade him for Treasure Land and squeeze out some resources. That's all. They won't harm your brother. Killing him wouldn't get them anything.”

Maceo wasn't worried. He knew Winged Tiger City was using Bastian as a bargaining chip, not planning to kill him.

“But we can't just leave him there!” Rainah cried.

“Who said we're leaving him?” Maceo shot back. “We just have to wait. Winged Tiger City will contact us soon enough.”

He glanced at Rainah and added, “Go back and get some rest. You don't need to be involved in this part.”

Though reluctant, Rainah turned and left.

“Hey Maceo, where exactly is the Treasure Land? Can you show me?” Jared asked, clearly curious.

“That place only opens once every thousand years. It's not time yet. If we force our way in, the Heavenly Law will suppress us, and it could seriously deplete our life force.”

“Deplete our life force?” Jared was startled. “How could there be a Heavenly Law suppression like that?”

“Just take me to the place. We won't go in,” Jared insisted.

Seeing Jared so set on it, Maceo nodded. “All right, I'll take you for a look. But don't do anything reckless. If you go in and don't make it out, that'll be a huge problem.”
