A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6143

Cloudhaven City'

On top of the ruins of the Celestial Palace Branch.

Jared's gaze moved slowly across the wreckage at his feet.'

Collapsed temple pillars. Shattered shrines. Cold bodies sprawled among the broken stone. His eyes didn't stir in the slightest. There was no satisfaction from revenge in them, and nothing savage from the killing either.

It was as if this Celestial Palace Branch, the place that had once made all of Cloudhaven City bow its head and had wiped out the Janis Family, was nothing more than an ordinary pile of rubble in his eyes.'

No different from broken stones and wild grass by the roadside.

He had already gone past the kind of love, hate, rage, and obsession that tied ordinary people down.'

He had fought his way through level thirteen, walked over endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood. What lay before him now, this destruction and slaughter, was no more than a trace of dust on the road ahead. He could brush it aside with one hand.

Vivian stood at his side.'

Her plain white dress was already stained with blood. Loose strands of hair clung to her cheeks, and the marks of tears still hadn't dried on her face. The weariness left behind by the fighting was still there too.

Her eyes dropped to the bodies strewn everywhere.'

Too much sat in that look at once. Revenge had landed. So had the grief of losing her family. And under it, a thin stretch of uncertainty about what came next.

The revenge was done.

The hatred that had hung over the Janis Family for decades, the weight that had pressed on her through countless days and nights, had finally come to an end today.

Those Celestial Palace disciples who had humiliated the Janis Family and butchered its people, those lofty Celestial Palace powerhouses who had treated the family like dirt, had all turned into cold corpses now.'

They lay inside the ruins of the Celestial Palace Branch they had once been so proud of.

But what now?

The Janis Family was gone. Her clansmen were gone.'

Only she was left, alone.

The glory and prosperity that had once belonged to them had vanished like a dream along with the destruction of the Celestial Palace Branch.

She had no idea where she was supposed to go from here, or what she was supposed to do.'

It was like the road in front of her had dropped away, leaving behind nothing but a hollow stretch of blankness.

She slowly lifted her head and looked at Jared's cool profile.'

Her voice came out soft, carrying a faint rasp and something unsteady beneath it. "Jared, what are you planning to do next?"

Jared slowly turned toward her.'

His eyes settled on her face. They were cool and calm, yet there was a trace of softness buried in them too, as if the uncertainty and helplessness she was trying to hold down hadn't escaped him.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a firmness that left no room for doubt.'

"I came to the Fourteenth Firmament for one reason. I needed to go to the Luminous Sanctuary. Now that things in Cloudhaven City are settled and the revenge is done, it's time for me to leave."
