A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1194

Utterly Defenseless

Stunned, Brody exclaimed, “What happened to you, Rayleigh? Your powers seem to have disappeared!”

Rayleigh smiled weakly and replied, “Brody, I’m just an ordinary person now. I brought Jared over so you all could look after him. I apologize for troubling you.”

“Rayleigh, Oakley has already told me about this, which is why I’m here. Don’t feel sorry for troubling us. We’re as close as brothers!”

As Brody spoke, he led Rayleigh’s group into the Village of Villains.

When Oakley noticed their arrival, he immediately ordered his subordinates to lay out a feast.

At the same time, he addressed Rayleigh, “We haven’t had a gathering like this in twenty years, Rayleigh.”

“Oakley, while the rest of you are leading increasingly colorful lives, I’m just an ordinary man now.” With a wry smile on his face, Rayleigh continued, “I’m here today because I hope you can look after Jared. I’ll never forget your kindness and generosity if you do me this favor, Oakley.”

“What are you talking about, Rayleigh? Jared’s safe with us. Whoever dares to cause trouble on our turf is asking for their death on my hands!” Oakley even patted his chest for good measure.

Suddenly, Rayleigh’s eyes glistened with tears. He never imagined his old friends in the Village of Villains still treated him like their family and agreed so readily to help him.

Unbeknownst to Rayleigh, Oakley’s promise stemmed more from the fact that the Village of Villains was a regiment under Dragon Sect, effectively making them Jared’s subordinates.

Rayleigh left after a quick meal at the Village of Villains.

After his departure, Oakley dismissed everyone else except Travis, Brody, and Quad. Then, the four of them knelt before Jared and said, “My Lord, please accept this humble welcome from The Villainous Four of the Village of Villains.”

They pressed their foreheads against the ground in deference to Jared.

Their actions would undoubtedly stun the average observer.

At last, Jared released a heavy sigh and decided his best shot was to quickly improve his abilities and discover more regiments under Dragon Sect’s command.

And since he had no idea where the other regiments were, Jared’s most immediate plan was to cultivate.

With that in mind, Jared said, “Oakley, help me find an isolated and vast space. I need to cultivate for a while, and no one is to disturb me.”

“My Lord, we have such areas in the Village of Villains, but…” Here, Oakley trailed off hesitantly.

“Out with it!” came Jared’s stern order.

With an expression full of regret, Oakley mumbled, “The Village of Villains barely interacts with the outside world. Over the years, we’ve consumed almost all of our resources in this valley. I fear we may not have many resources to aid your cultivation, My Lord!”

Jared laughed at his apologetic words.
