A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

Octavion looked at Lorelei with eyes full of love, a gentle smile gracing his lips. "Forget about Jared's backer. Even if it was Jared himself, I may not necessarily be his match. My abilities are on par with Tavon's. If he was able to kill Tavon, he could certainly kill me too!"

"Then why are you seeking Jared out?"

Lorelei looked at Octavion, puzzled. He clearly knew it was a path leading to death, so why did he still choose to go?

Octavion gave a slight smile. "I'm seeking him out, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm out for revenge. If I don't seek revenge, what reason would Jared have to kill me?"

"You..."

Lorelei stared at Octavion, unable to comprehend what he was thinking.

At that moment, Talcott was utterly bewildered. What was Octavion seeking Jared for, if not for revenge? "People always claim that we celestials are arrogant and conceited, but not all of us are like that. I'm aware of my own abilities, and I understand my own worth. Therefore, I always hold a sense of reverence at all times! My father doesn't like me, to the point he doesn't even acknowledge me as his son. It isn't solely because I love you, but also because I'm not arrogant enough. I always underestimate myself!" Octavion slowly said.

Hearing Octavion's words, Talcott became even more confused. However, he didn't dare to ask further. At the moment, he was merely a guide. As long as he led these people to Allardland, his mission would be considered accomplished.

"Do you know why I like you? It's because of your personality..."

Lorelei leaned on Octavion's shoulder, a blissful smile spreading across her face.

...

Jared and Mia finally arrived at Southedge City. Their journey had been exhausting, and Mia was utterly worn out. After all, her stamina was no match for Jared's.

However, the novelty of the outside world allowed Mia to forget her fatigue!

"The world beyond Beast City is really vast!" Mia exclaimed.

There were five regions in the Ethereal Realm. Demonia Mountain in the southern region alone was an enormous entity, stretching for tens of thousands of miles!

As for Beast City, it was merely situated in a corner of Demonia Mountain.

Therefore, comparing Beast City to the Ethereal Realm was like comparing a single grain of sand to the vast ocean.

That was the reason Mia was so astounded and overwhelmed by the vastness of the world.

"You'll start to see more of the world now that you're intent on sticking with me."

Observing Mia's demeanor, a slight smile graced Jared's face.

"Getting out and seeing the world is fine, but this constant traveling is just too exhausting. I've used up all my energy just on flying," Mia complained with a slight frown.

"Don't worry. Once Cloud joins us, we can travel by airship. We won't have to fly around on our own anymore," Jared said.

"Airship? What exactly is an airship?" Mia asked curiously.

"You'll understand once you see it!"

Jared didn't bother to explain either. After all, there was no way he could clarify things well enough for Mia to understand.

She was akin to a child, curious about everything yet understanding nothing!

When Jared found Cloud, Cloud was taken aback upon seeing the young woman beside Jared!

"Mr. Chance, who might this young lady be?" Cloud asked.

"Her name is Mia Sykes, and she has no family left. She followed me all the way here and is from the beast race!"

"Hello, my name is Cloud Seizon." Cloud confidently extended his hand and shared a firm handshake with Mia.

"You're Cloud? Do you have an

airship? What exactly is an airship? Could you let me take a look?" Mia rattled off rapidly, her eyes gleaming curiously as she stared at Cloud.

"Err..."

Cloud was stunned for a moment before he glanced at Jared.

"Launch the airship and take her on a tour. Let her get acquainted with it. I need to say my farewells to Mr. Jensen. After all, I don't know when I'll be able to return once I leave Southedge City!" en FindNovel

Jared instructed Cloud to take Mia to see the airship while he went off to the Pathfinder Sect to see Rory. There were two reasons for him seeking out Rory. Firstly, to bid farewell, and secondly, to inquire about Vermilion Demon Lord's remains!

"All right, got it!"

Cloud gave a nod.

Ever since he started following Jared, Cloud had noticeably matured and become significantly more composed.
