A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6268

Jared hesitated for a moment, then reached out with his right hand anyway.

Gwendolyn took his wrist, pressed her thumb against his pulse, and closed her eyes slightly as she examined it for a few quiet moments.

Then she lightly pricked Jared's fingertip with the silver needle.

The needle was so fine that, the instant it went in, there was almost no pain at all.

But the moment the tip touched the blood vessel in his fingertip, Jared's whole body gave a sudden jolt.

A strange force poured in through the needle's tip and rushed upstream through his bloodline, like an invisible eye sweeping across his meridians, his spirit well, even every inch of flesh on his body.

The sensation was strange. It was like being seen clean through from the inside out, with nothing left hidden.

"Don't move," Gwendolyn said softly, her eyes fixed on the silver needle.

At the tip of the needle, a drop of golden blood slowly welled up.

That blood was completely different from an ordinary person's. It gave off a faint golden radiance, like melted gold, gathering into a smooth, round bead at the tip of the needle.

Even stranger, on the surface of that drop, a tiny dragon shade could just barely be seen swimming around, releasing a dragon's cry so faint it was almost impossible to hear.

Gwendolyn drew the silver needle back, and that drop of golden blood floated above her palm, turning slowly.

She studied it for a few moments, then gave a slight nod. "Golden Dragon royal bloodline. The purity is extremely high. It's even richer than what you showed me last time."

Jared said nothing. He only watched her in silence.

Gwendolyn carefully placed that drop of blood into a transparent glass phial. Then she took a second drop from Jared's fingertip, then a third... only after she had taken seven drops in all did she put the silver needle away.

"Is that enough?" Jared asked.

"Enough." Gwendolyn lined up the seven glass phials across the stone table, her gaze passing over the blood inside them. "For a preliminary look, three drops would have been enough. The rest will be kept for later."

"Later?" Jared looked at her, all at once on guard.

Gwendolyn ignored the look in his eyes.

She picked up the first glass phial and held it in front of her face. A mass of pale golden radiance poured out of her palm and wrapped around the phial.

Inside the light, the blood started to change.

The surface of that golden liquid began to boil.

Tiny bubbles kept rising and bursting one after another.

The dragon shade whipped through the phial like it had gone mad, and the dragon cry coming from it grew louder and louder.

At the same time, the color of the blood began to shift too.

In the gold, a second color started to appear.

It was a purple so deep it seemed to reach the end of everything, like the first streak of dawn before chaos had even split open.

Gwendolyn's pupils tightened in an instant.

She set the glass phial back on the table, formed several hand seals in a blur, and tapped the side of the phial with her fingertips.

Something in the blood inside the phial seemed to wake up.

The violet radiance grew brighter, then denser, until it swallowed the golden radiance completely.

The whole drop of blood turned into a pure mass of purple and slowly revolved inside the phial, giving off an aura so heavy even Gwendolyn's chest tightened under it.

"This is..."

Her voice came out unsteady. It was the first time Jared had ever seen that kind of reaction from her.
