A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5626

Jared followed Neville into the Nethergate Sect.

Inside the main hall, Rowena and the others were still gathered there, each of them trembling in fear.

The disciples all prayed silently that nothing had happened to Jared, otherwise, Neville would not spare them.

Gradually, their gazes toward Rowena grew cold.

If she had not abandoned Jared, things would not have come to this.

Now they blamed her. They all knew Neville's reputation for strict justice. What he said, he did.

If anything had happened to Jared, none of them would have survived.

"Stop looking at me like that. I made this decision, and I will take responsibility alone. When Mr. Contreras returns, I'll tell him it was entirely my choice. None of you will be involved," Rowena said, her face pale but firm.

"Can you truly bear that?" Neville's voice cut through the hall.

Rowena looked up and saw Neville entered the main hall, Jared at his side. Jared's body was covered in wounds, a clear sign of the fierce battle he had endured.

"Mr. Contreras, I..." Rowena started, but the words faltered, unable to form.

"Hmph. We're lucky Jared is unharmed, otherwise, even if I killed you, it wouldn't make up for the Nethergate Sect's losses," Neville said coldly. "Now hurry and apologize to Jared."

"Mr. Chance... I'm sorry..." Rowena lowered her head.

Regret gnawed at her. She should have brought Jared back with her at the time, but she never expected Neville to care for him so deeply.

Jared only cast a brief glance at Rowena, saying nothing, not forgiveness, nor anger.
