A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6415

Zaccai bowed and accepted the order, his manner respectful. "Your servant will deploy the clandestine watch immediately and keep the Sylvan Kin's movements under constant surveillance. Not the smallest detail will be missed."

"Alaric slowly leaned back against the black throne and closed his eyes a fraction.

A brutal aura coiled around him, thick enough to make the empty space feel crowded."

"His fingertips struck the armrest in a steady pattern, again and again.

Within the dead-still great hall, each tap sounded harsh, like a silent countdown marking off the moments until revenge."

"Outside the windows, the twin uncanny moons of the Sixteenth Firmament hung high in the night sky.

One shone cold silver-white. The other burned a strange dark red.

Their two-colored moonlight spilled over the gilded dome of the celestial great hall, reflecting a hard, icy gleam as the air of slaughter spread through the entire domain."

"Alaric slowly opened his eyes and stared into the two-colored night beyond the window.

When he spoke under his breath, the killing intent in his voice cut cold."

"Jared, you destroyed my two Dreadholds, killed two of my capable war champions, and broke the dignity of the celestials. This blood debt will be settled with you one stroke at a time, principal and interest together, until nothing is left. I will show no mercy."

"His five fingers suddenly clenched into a tight fist.

A savage darkness surged in his eyes."

"And the Sylvan Kin as well. Since you dared interfere openly in celestial internal affairs and defy me, you should have prepared in advance for your whole race to be destroyed and the bloodline cut off."

"Outside the great hall, the midnight gale howled.

Dark clouds raced in and swallowed the light of both moons, and in an instant the world fell into boundless darkness, the pressure sinking to its deepest point."

"Ten thousand miles away, the lights of Freevale burned warm and bright.

In the middle of a dead end, they stood like an undying beacon of hope."

"But in Alaric's eyes, that glow was no beacon of hope.

It was a rebel flame, one he meant to snuff out with his own hand, and it had to be torn out by the roots."

"A little more than 1 hour later, Zaccai had finished arranging every matter tied to clandestine agent patrols and border defenses.

Only then did he return quietly to the great hall."

"Alaric's face sat dark as deep water, the violent pressure around him still refusing to settle.

Zaccai lowered his voice and stepped forward with care to report."

"High Sovereign, your servant has already made proper arrangements for defense across the entire domain and for the clandestine agents on watch.

"""Only, that man Jared carries the innate chaotic force, and his combat power reaches beyond his level in a way that defies measure. Now that he has the Sylvan Kin's full support as well, his wings are growing stronger.

""If we want to wipe him out in one stroke, it may not be simple at all. We should take the long view before moving."""

Alaric's eyes sharpened at once, and his voice came back cold. "What? Are you suggesting my Celestial Army cannot defeat one mere wandering cultivator named Jared?"

Zaccai immediately bowed and explained, not daring to show even the slightest disrespect.

"Your servant means nothing of the kind!

"Only, Jared's combat strength is strange. His hidden cards emerge one after another, and the depth behind him is difficult to measure.

"There is a strong chance that a secluded foremost adept is protecting him from the shadows. If we launch a reckless frontal assault, it may drain our elite celestial fighting strength, and the loss would outweigh the gain."

"Hmph. So what if powerful adepts protect him?" Alaric's face showed nothing but contempt, and his cold laugh carried absolute confidence.

"He has backers. Does that mean the Celestial Alliance has no hidden cards of its own?

"The two Grand Elders of my Celestial Alliance have already been in seclusion for many days, pouring all their strength into breaking through the barrier of the Golden Immortal Realm. Their seclusion is nearly at its end.

"Before long, both will break through their shackles and ascend to the high estate of Golden Immortal."

"When the two elders emerge from seclusion, even if Jared truly has powerful adepts standing behind him, they will be crushed, ripped apart, forced into the open, and suppressed to the last. A mere ant is not worth mentioning."

"The two Grand Elders were Alaric's greatest hidden card.

They were also the core support that had kept the Celestial Alliance standing unshaken in the Sixteenth Firmament."

"After hearing that, Zaccai's need to press the warning finally fell away.

He offered no further words of caution."
