A Man Like None Other Chapter 533

Chapter 533 No Regrets Dying

“Mr. Chance, kill him and end the Crescent Sect. I don’t have any regrets about dying!” Shane uttered determinedly.

“Did you hear that?” Jared smiled. “He has no qualms dying.”

“Ahh!” Elijah let out a crazed shriek. Immediately, he raised his foot, prepared to deliver the final blow that would end Shane’s life.

Bang!

Before Elijah could stomp down, Jared darted forward and slammed a hand into the former’s chest. In an instant, Elijah’s entire body was thrown backward before he collided against the statue, turning it into smithereens.

Shane closed his eyes, ready to face his impending death. But for the longest time, nothing hit him. Hesitantly, Shane opened his eyes, only to realize that Elijah had vanished. Instead, Jared now occupied the space where the elder once stood.

“Can you still stand? If you can, stop playing dead,” Jared said as he glanced at Shane.

Gritting his teeth, Shane fought against the pain as he struggled to his feet. I can still move despite my broken ribs.

Similarly, Elijah pushed himself to his feet from the wreckage. His face had turned deathly pale, and crimson blood spilled out of his mouth.

The corners of Jared’s lips upturned into a cold smile. “It’s time to send you on your way. No matter how good your divination is, you failed to predict your death today.”

Thump! Elijah fell to his knees in front of Jared.

“Please don’t kill me! Fabian implanted the parasite in me, leaving me with no choice but to obey his orders. Please spare my life. I can help you infiltrate the Crescent Sect if you do so. I know how to avoid and disable its traps,” Elijah begged fervently as he groveled at Jared’s feet.

“How could those flimsy traps stop me? You are of no use to me,” Jared replied as he raised his fist, prepared to deliver the killing blow.

“Don’t kill me! I know where the abducted women are being held. I can free them all. If you dawdle any longer, it might be too late to save them!” Elijah added hastily.

At that, Jared knitted his brows together. If I kill Elijah, those women might die…

Upon noticing Jared’s hesitance, a look of delight flitted across Elijah’s gaze. Seizing this opportunity, he scrambled toward Megan.

Elijah’s sudden advancement caught Megan entirely off-guard. Immediately, Tristan moved to shield her behind him and glared at Elijah distrustfully.

“Ms. Simmons, please help me. I had no choice! Fabian forced us to do his bidding by using the parasites, and we couldn’t even retaliate. If it weren’t for that, I would have never betrayed your father!” Elijah pleaded. He hoped to gain Megan’s sympathy.

“Betray my father?” Megan’s eyes grew twice as large. “What do you mean?”

“Ms. Simmons, we used to be Mr. Simmons’ subordinates. It wasn’t until Fabian overthrew your father that he took over the Crescent Sect. We had to obey him because of the parasites he implanted in our bodies. Furthermore, Fabian recently hatched a plot against him. Hence, he wanted to abduct you and use you as leverage against Mr. Simmons,” Elijah explained.

“Y-You’re lying…” Megan was instantly dumbstruck. She glared at Elijah and spat, “How could you lot be my father’s subordinates? You are all bad men. Besides, isn’t the Crescent Sect a holiday resort? When did my father become the leader of a sect?”

In truth, Dante had kept all of this from Megan in hopes that she’d be able to lead an ordinary life. He didn’t want his daughter following in his footsteps.

He even took the necessary measure to send her all the way to Jadeborough to pursue her studies.

“Ms. Simmons, the Crescent Sect is an organization. The holiday resort was merely a ruse to hide it from the public eye. The real Crescent Sect lies within the resort. Mr. Simmons was the founder of our sect,” Elijah added.

“How is that possible? Why did my own father lie to me? What else is he hiding from me?” Megan demanded. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect her father to be the leader of an organization.
