The Man's Decree novel Chapter 953

Chapter 953 Abetting Evil

The five guardians were collectively stunned by the sight of the white wolf bursting out into the open, as they had not expected to encounter such a formidable and ferocious beast there.

“Who are you people?” demanded Rayleigh with a questioning frown.

He could sense a certain familiarity about those five individuals’ auras, but he was unable to figure out exactly who they might be there and then. With his powers now utterly depleted after transferring them onto Josephine and Lizbeth in their entirety, he was not able to activate his spiritual sense to process a probe either.

“Rayleigh Deragon?” one of the five suddenly blurted, and after he did, he reflexively put a hand to his mouth as though he had misspoken.

Rayleigh’s eyes lit up as that clued him in straightaway. Hence, he said, “So, the guardians from the Deragons have arrived. No wonder your auras seemed so familiar.”

Seeing that their cover had been blown, the five guardians thus made no further attempt to withhold their identities and proceeded to unmask themselves.

Enoch, the leader of the group, met Rayleigh’s gaze. “Your aura has vanished, Rayleigh. What happened to your powers?”

“Gone. As of now, I am just an ordinary man,” replied Rayleigh with a faint smile.

Rayleigh’s casual demeanor astonished the guardians, for the ease with which he approached the loss of those skills that he had so painstakingly cultivated was not something that most would be able to muster.

“Tell us, Rayleigh. Why did you choose to betray Mr. Deragon back then? Just look at what you’ve brought upon yourself.” Enoch regarded Rayleigh with a look of disappointment before he continued, “Where is Mr. Draco?”

The mention of Draco brought a glint of wistfulness across Rayleigh’s eyes. “Mr. Draco has passed on…” he said with some sorrow.

“Considering that we’ve come to this, Rayleigh, it’s about time you repented. Surrender Jared Chance over to us, and we shall beseech Mr. Deragon to spare you upon our return. Having been reduced to a petty mortal, you might be better off finding yourself a place where you could retire to and live out the rest of your days in peace!” said Enoch as he sought to persuade Rayleigh.

“Coming all the way out here, you must surely have realized that Jared is Ms. Beatrice’s son. How could I possibly hand Jared over to you after how Mr. Draco has given his life for him? Don’t you know that Ryker had poisoned his own father and usurped his position? By siding with him now, all of you are in fact, abetting evil,” said Rayleigh in unbridled umbrage.

“Your words are wasted on him, Enoch. Let’s just get in there, grab Jared, and be done with it.”
