A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

If the city lord was merely in seclusion for training and they were busy tearing each other apart in his absence, he would surely be furious when he emerged. By then, no one could expect to escape his wrath unscathed!

Hence, the fact that Jaime had actually killed Rex left Cian utterly astounded!

Additionally, there was the sudden appearance of Tavon, who had reached the Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine. Such a powerful cultivator was unheard of within Beast City!

As the Three Beast Generals, they were merely at the Ultimate Realm Level Eight. That meant Tavon must have come from outside Beast City!

Without an insider's collusion, there was no way for outsiders to penetrate into the boundaries of Beast City.

Without a doubt, Rex must have colluded with outsiders!

What truly unsettled Cian was the fact that a Ultimate Realm Level Two cultivator had managed to kill a Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine cultivator. This unheard-of event was what truly shocked him! With this, his plan of reaping the benefits while the other two parties fought was completely ruined! Given Jaime's current strength, Cian simply couldn't fight him.

"Are you telling the truth?" Cian asked the subordinate again, unable to believe what he had heard. "General, it's absolutely true, not a word of falsehood. They captured me, and then they let me go," the subordinate answered solemnly.

Cian settled back into his chair, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Pass down the order. From this moment forward, nobody is allowed to provoke the people of Giles Manor. Anyone who dares to do so will be shown no mercy!"

Cian knew, at this point, that his only option was to get on Jaime's good side. There was simply no other way around it!

Even Rex had been murdered. If Cian didn't wise up, there was no doubt that Jaime wouldn't hesitate to kill him too!

"Yes, sir!" the subordinate acknowledged the order and left.

Cian let out a long sigh, his eyes no longer holding the scheming glint they had at the start. In this world where power reigned supreme, what good were all his scheming and strategies?

He had no choice but to accept his fate...

At Giles Manor.

Jared and Jaime had already returned, while Claude continued to lead the team in mining the celestial crystals.

Rex was already dead, so no one would dare to covet the celestial crystal vein mine any longer. Cian had been warned. Jaime knew him well; Cian was definitely not foolish enough to challenge him at this point!

It could be said that Jaime had already become the dominant force in the entire Beast City. With just a single word from him, he could easily become the lord of Beast City!

However, Jaime knew that his rapid rise to unparalleled power in Beast City was undeniably tied to Jared.

"Mr. Chance, I've packed all the

celestial crystals we've extracted so far into your item pouch. Any future celestial crystals we mine will also be set aside for you. I won't take a single one..." Jaime said to Jared.

QUMS

The original plan was for the two to split the harvest between them. However, after witnessing Jared slay Tavon, Jaime changed his mind.

He wouldn't be splitting the celestial crystals with Jared anymore; he was going to give them all to Jared! What Jaime needed right now was to get such a powerful figure as Jared to be his backer!

Noting Jaime's smart and understanding attitude, Jared didn't refuse the offer. After all, he still needed vast resources for his future cultivation.

Jared turned to Jaime and asked, "General Jaime, now that Rex is dead, what are your plans?"

"I've already sent people to take over Buckley Manor Once we've

completely taken control of all the personnel there, I plan to move into the city lord's mansion and become the lord of the entire Beast City After all, it's been many years since we've heard from the city lord. It's always been just the three of us managing Beast City. This can't go on forever."

Jaime did not hide his ambition as he answered Jared honestly.

Upon hearing this, Jared quickly waved his hands and said, "General Jaime, just because the city lord hasn't shown himself doesn't mean he's gone. In fact, your city lord has been here all along, and I'm certain he's aware of everything that's been happening in Beast City!"

Upon hearing this, Jaime was immediately taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "What? Have you met

our city lord before, Mr. Chance?"
