A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

The hilt of the sword was intricately engraved with mysterious markings, a stark contrast to his fair fingers, further accentuating the young man's exceptional elegance and formidable resilience.

As the young man stepped into the main hall, it was as if the air itself had frozen in place. The

surrounding noise seemed to recede from him, leaving only him and his dark weapon as the most striking presence in the entire hall.

Upon closer inspection, this young man bore a striking resemblance to Decanus. However, the young man exuded an even stronger aura of gallantry compared to the prince.

Tennyson merely lifted his head, gazing at the young man before him. His brows furrowed slightly as his eyes filled with disdain.

"Who let you out?" Tennyson inquired with an icy tone.

"Father, I—"

"Shut up! Who are you calling 'Father?' When in the main hall, you should address me as 'My Lord." Before the young man could finish his sentence, Tennyson abruptly cut him off with a loud reprimand,

A hint of grievance flashed in the young man's eyes, yet he listened and obediently said, "My Lord, I heard that Mr. Lorthan was killed, and Decanus was also injured. Therefore, I beg for your permission to leave the palace and avenge them!"

Unexpectedly, Tennyson let out a scoff. "Hmph! You're planning to take the woman you love back to the Ethereal Realm, aren't you? To leave this oppressive palace forever?"

"I'm not!" The young man shook his head.

"Don't even think about deceiving me! Remember, you're my son. How could I possibly not know what's going through your mind? Yet, you, as my eldest son, fell in love with a common female cultivator, even dual cultivating with her. You've tainted our celestial bloodline! It's already generous of me not to kill you, yet now, you wish to leave the Tenth Hall and venture into the Ethereal Realm?"

Tennyson wore a cold expression as he spoke, his face suggesting he was ready to kill!

"My Lord, I genuinely desire to avenge Mr. Lorthan and Decanus."

The young man hung his head low, yet he still wouldn't admit that he had been contemplating leaving the Tenth Hall.

Tennyson's eyes were still intently fixed on the young man in front of him, as if he was trying to see right through him!

A moment later, Tennyson finally spoke. "Tavon was just one step away from breaking through the Ultimate Realm and becoming an Immortal Realm cultivator. How does your cultivation level compare to his?"

"My cultivation level is on par with Mr. Lorthan, so I'm just one step away from becoming an Immortal Realm cultivator as well. The only thing I lack is the right opportunity. That's why I want to get out and about this time. I hope that this opportunity might lead me to a breakthrough!" the young man explained.

"Even Tavon was killed. Isn't it certain death for you to seek revenge with your current cultivation level?" Although Tennyson's tone remained icy, there was now a hint of concern in it.

"Mr. Lorthan was naturally brash and arrogant, and with his tendency to underestimate his enemies, he was sure to give them an opportunity to striked however, would never afford my enemies such a chance!" the young man exclaimed.

Upon hearing the young man's words, a hint of reassurance surprisingly flashed across Tennyson's face, but it was fleeting!

"Fine, then go. Take your guards and your woman with you. Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, don't ever come back. I don't want to see you, nor will I acknowledge that you are my son!"

Tennyson waved his hand dismissively, a hint of helplessness and sorrow creeping onto his icy countenance.

The young man's body subtly shuddered, his eyes filled with disbelief as he lifted his gaze. However, when he tried to meet Tennyson's eyes, he found that the older man had already turned his face away.

"Then I shall take my leave, Father..."

By then, the young man's eyes were becoming red-rimmed. He bowed deeply and slowly exited the main

hall.

...

At Everett Manor in Beast City.

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Cian was so astonished that he jumped right out of his chair!

He simply couldn't believe that Rex was dead!

Even though they were constantly scheming against each other, they still had some reservations when it came to delivering the fatal blow.

After all, they were all promoted by the city lord. Although the city lord hadn't been seen for many years, it certainly didn't mean that he was dead.
