A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6108

Outside the shimmering barrier, Vivian paced, worry shadowing each step.

Three hours had crawled by.

Jared had already been inside for three whole hours.

Through all that time, the faint golden barrier stayed exactly the same, and not a single sound leaked out.

Vivian had no way of knowing what was happening in there, no clue whether Jared was still breathing or already gone.

Waiting was all she could do.

"Vivian, there's no need to worry."

Garrick walked up beside her and said in a steady voice, "Because that barrier is still intact, the restriction clearly hasn't been triggered. Jared should be fine."

Vivian nodded, yet the tight line of her lips gave her away.

A tiny crease formed between her brows; she couldn't tell why the knot inside kept tightening like this.

They had known each other for less than a day.

She had even ordered him to wear the Binding Collar precisely to guard against him.

Yet the instant he strode into the light without hesitating, something hard to name had swept through her chest.

Was it because what she'd done still stung somewhere deep?

Because the sight of him walking away had stirred her?

Or was it something else entirely?

She couldn't pin it down.

She only knew that the tightening wouldn't stop.

Right then, ripples suddenly spread across the barrier.

A lone silhouette stepped through that shimmering veil.

Jared was back.

Vivian's eyes lit up and she moved to greet him, then stopped in her tracks.

The aura wrapping around Jared had changed.

Three hours earlier, he had stood at the very top of High Immortal Realm Level One.

Now, he carried the power of the Top Level High Immortal Realm Level Two.

He had vaulted an entire minor realm in one sweep.

Vivian could only stare, mouth half-open.

Garrick and the six elders traded looks, each with widened eyes.

What in the world had taken place inside Dragonmere?

Jared closed the distance to Vivian, noted her frozen stare, and suddenly chuckled.

"Miss Janis, why the blank look? Don't recognize me anymore?"

Vivian blinked hard, drew a deep breath, and forced down the tremor in her chest before speaking softly,

"Young Master Jared, you… you advanced?"

Jared nodded. "Luck was good. Picked up a few things in there."

Pick up a few things?

Vivian's mouth twitched at the corners.

Just by picking things up, he could jump an entire realm?

She almost wanted to rush in and do her own scavenging, yet she knew such fortune only answered the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

For anyone else, stepping into Dragonmere wouldn't guarantee this kind of chance.

Garrick stepped forward and cupped his fists. "Young Master Jared, congratulations on the breakthrough."

Jared waved him off. "Master Garrick, you're too polite. I'll explain what I found in Dragonmere in detail later. For now…"

He glanced at Vivian and tapped the collar circling his neck.
