A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4973

Chapter 4973 The Rescue Operation
Unbeknownst to Jared, Winged Tiger City was now secretly under the control of Braxton. Likewise, Braxton had no idea that Jared was among those negotiating with them. He never would have imagined that Jared could have climbed the Celestial Stairway and reached the celestial realm so soon.

That night, inside the city lord mansion, Jared, Eason, and Madman didn't rest. Instead, they quietly slipped out of their rooms under the cover of darkness.

“This mansion's enormous. Where do we even start looking for Bastian?” Eason muttered, his brow furrowed.

“I already marked Bastian with a trace of my aura. All we need to do now is track it,” Jared explained.

He slowly expanded his spiritual sense, searching for the aura he had left inside Bastian's body. It didn't take long before he picked up the signal. Following the subtle trail, he led the group toward the mansion's backyard.

Though guards patrolled the area, Jared and the others managed to avoid them. The city lord mansion was in a region surrounded by dozens of cities, so the guards didn't expect any infiltration. Their complacency made it easier for Jared's team to move unnoticed.

Near one room in the rear courtyard, Jared stopped. “Bastian's right here,” he said, pointing at the door.

Apparently, Bastian hadn't been abused or thrown into a cell. Instead, he was confined to a room, decent treatment under the circumstances.

“I'll go get him,” Madman said, rushing forward, but Jared held him back.

“Wait. Let me check for any arcane arrays first,” Jared said, crouching low. With his finger, he drew an unusual rune on the ground and channeled the Power of Immortals into it.

A low hum followed, and the runes lit up. The room itself began to glow faintly. Clearly, it was protected by an arcane array. Charging recklessly would've triggered it, and escaping would have been impossible.

“D*mn, they're really cautious,” Madman grumbled. “Even in a place this secure, they still lay arcane arrays!”
