A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

Jared nodded. "Yes, within that ancient tree's dimension..."

"The ancient tree's dimension?"

Jaime's face was full of confusion. He seemed to truly have no clue what Jared was referring to.

Upon seeing Jaime's expression, Jared was also somewhat puzzled. "Don't you know about the ancient tree's dimension?"

Jaime shook his head. "No!"

"I'm talking about that ancient tree in the prison. Didn't you assign Claude to guard it? How could you possibly not know about its dimension?" Jared asked in confusion.

"Oh, you're referring to that ancient tree in the prison? Guarding that tree was an order from the city lord years ago. Back then, the prison was under Cian's watch, while I had my men guard the ancient tree. This provided dual protection and prevented anyone from casually interacting with the tree. However, I don't know anything about that ancient tree having its own dimension, let alone where the city lord is!" Jaime explained.

Jared stated, "Inside that ancient tree, there's another dimension. Your city lord is cultivating in there. I've met him once. Moreover, that ancient tree thrives by absorbing the spiritual energy of the prisoners, which in turn serves as a resource for your city lord's cultivation!"

Jaime fell silent for a moment, then voiced his concern, "In that case, the city lord must be aware of what's been happening within Beast City, right? If he knows that we've killed Rex, we're in for trouble..."

At this moment, Jaime was somewhat panicked. If the city lord were to hold him accountable for Rex's death, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences!

Even Jared wouldn't be able to withstand it. After all, the city lord was an Immortal Realm cultivator! Despite Jared's ability to slay cultivators at the Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine, someone in the Immortal Realm actually experienced a qualitative leap in their power once they achieved that realm! At the Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine, one was merely a cultivator. However, once one entered the Immortal Realm, they would then possess the physique of a half-immortal!

"Don't worry, I plan to have a talk with your city lord tomorrow. He's probably too focused on his ascension right now to care about the mundane affairs of Beast City. However, you should probably hold off on your aspirations about moving into the city lord's mansion and becoming the city lord for now. Try not to be too hasty!" Jared comforted Jaime.

"All right, then I'll be waiting for good news from you, Mr. Chance!" Jaime gave a nod of agreement.

After finishing his conversation with Jaime, Jared returned to his room, planning to get a good night's rest before going to meet with the city lord the next day.

If everything went smoothly, he planned to leave Beast City. After all, he had been staying here for quite a few days already.

He would leave the management and mining of the celestial crystal vein to Jaime. When the time came, all Jared had to do was collect the harvested crystals.

As for the ancient tree, Jared had no

intentions of setting his heart on it any longer. After all, it was an essentialitem for the city lord's cultivation. If Jared wanted to claim it for himself, he would undoubtedly have to go toe-to-toe with the city lord!

Although Jared had advanced to the Ultimate Realm Level Two, he didn't have the confidence to win a fight against someone in the Immortal Realm.

As long as the city lord didn't

interfere with the affairs of Beast

City and didn't pry into the celestial crystal mine matter, Jared wouldn't disturb his cultivation.

Jared had barely pushed open the door when a figure suddenly charged straight toward him. Before Jared could react, he was enveloped in a gentle embrace!

Following that came an enticing scent. Jared looked down, only to realize he was being held by Elena. At that moment, Elena was completely bare, her fair skin so dazzling that it made Jared's eyes gleam. The unique scent that emanated from Elena, in particular, made Jared feel as if his blood was rushing straight to his head.

"Elena, what are you doing? Let me go, quickly..." Jared said, somewhat at a loss.

"Mr. Chance, please take me. I know you're no ordinary man and you'll

surely leave this place eventually.

After you leave, what will happenget

my brother and me? With our capabilities, we simply don't have the means to protect ourselves!"

Elena clung tightly to Jared, speaking earnestly.
