A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5057

Jared didn't respond immediately. He cast Dexton a cold, measured glance. Inwardly, a thought struck him like a blade.

If I open this now and there's treasure inside, they'll pounce like starving wolves.

Though Jared had reached Level Three of the Wandering Immortal Realm and no longer feared these people individually, he wasn't reckless. If they banded together, things could turn ugly.

His gaze lingered on the two remaining coffins. A glimmer of calculation entered his eyes.

Silently, he extended his hands. A faint red glow bloomed from his palms, growing brighter until it bathed both coffins in a shimmering aura. The blood-colored energy etched onto the coffins responded, pulsing and slowly blending with the glow from Jared's hands, as if resonating.

The others fell silent, eyes locked on Jared. No one dared interrupt. Whatever he was doing was beyond their understanding.

“Rise!” Jared bellowed, his voice echoing through the ancient chamber like a thunderclap.

To everyone's astonishment, he hoisted both coffins into the air. A brilliant flash of white light followed, and in the blink of an eye, the coffins vanished without a trace.

He had sealed them into his storage ring. Whatever was inside those coffins, this wasn't the place to investigate. Surrounded by uncertain allies and potential enemies, opening the coffins here would be a fool's move.

If there's anything of value inside, they'd turn on me without hesitation.

The others stood frozen, stunned by what they'd just witnessed. Eyes turned toward Jared, each gaze laced with a different emotion: awe, greed, suspicion, and fear.

“Hey, kid!” Aziel snapped as Jared tucked the coffins into his storage ring. “Those coffins were found in these ruins. Whatever's inside should belong to all of us! Who gave you the right to claim them for yourself?”

Jared turned to him calmly. “Do these ruins belong to your family?”

Aziel frowned. “No, of course not.”

“Then why do you care what I take from them?” Jared's tone was cool, unwavering. He no longer feared Aziel. In fact, he didn't even see him as a threat anymore.

Aziel was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Jared, the same guy who had once treated him with such caution, to suddenly stand his ground with such boldness.

“You've got some nerve,” Aziel growled. “Are you seriously talking to me like that?”

Jared smirked. “No. I'm talking to a dog.”
