A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5097

“Father—” Nymeria began, but Dincelius cut her off with a raise of his hand.

He knew what Nymeria wanted to say. Traitors like Godric should be eradicated to prevent troubles from arising in the future.

If they were to show mercy to a threat, it would surely come back to bite them.

Even so, Dincelius didn't kill Godric. After all, he had been wrong to steal Dorothy from him in the past.

By the time the battle ended, all that remained of Glass City were the ruins of buildings.

Nymeria understood Dincelius' intention. Gently, she supported his unsteady body and urged, “Father, you've lost too much of your blood essence. You need to go back and recuperate soon.”

Dincelius nodded, then turned to Jared. “Mr. Chance, I owe you one today... If it weren't for you, Bloodbane Palace might have...”

“It was nothing,” Jared replied respectfully. “If it weren't for you summoning the Bloodbane Guards, I fear I might have been dead by now.”

He paused for a moment, then looked at Jemina, who was hiding behind the stone pillar. “Jemina, it's time for us to go.”

Jemina rushed over, her face still bearing traces of lingering fear. However, she managed to thank Dincelius and Nymeria respectfully. “Bloodbane Lord, Ms. Nymeria, thank you for coming to our rescue,” she said.

Dincelius gave Jared a deep look and pulled out a token carved with the Bloodbane Totem from his chest. “This is Bloodbane Palace's token for foreign officials. Mr. Chance, if you ever run into trouble on level two, you can look for me with this.”

Jared accepted the token and kept it in his item pouch. “Thank you, Bloodbane Lord. Goodbye.”

Under the setting sun, Jared and Jemina gradually disappeared from the ruins of Glass City.

Off in the distance, storm clouds roiled across the horizon. Dincelius watched the direction in which Godric had left, the jade pendant clutched in his hand emanating waves of coldness. He was uncertain whether what he had done was right or wrong.

However, some grudges were ultimately hard to solve, even when one resorted to violence as a means. On the other hand, some encounters, even if fleeting, could result in a bond strong enough to protect each other unto death.

“Meri, let's head back!” Dincelius turned to leave, looking noticeably older.

At that moment, Jared and Jemina were strolling in the void.

“Jared, you don't look well. Why don't we head home so that you can take some time to rest?” Jemina asked.

“No need. I'll find a spot and rest in the tower!”

Boom!
