A Man Like None Other Chapter 810

Chapter 810 Will Not Be Wrong

“Who is my father then? And why is my mother still locked up? What does Ryker want to know? What kind of secrets is she still hiding?” Jared gripped Draco’s shoulder in agitation.

He wanted to know the real identity of his irresponsible father who left him before he was even born. Just the thought of everything his mother had to endure because of this man’s unceremonious departure boiled his blood.

Draco shook his head. “I do not know, Mr. Jared. Not even Ms. Renalia knows who your father is. As for what Ms. Renalia is hiding, I have no idea as well. Your mother did not tell me anything. Not even the slightest hint. After that, I traveled to Horington to find out where you are, and the rest is history.”

“But how are you so sure that I am the abandoned child? I might be someone else entirely.” Jared wondered why Draco was so sure that he was Renalia’s son.

“Because the blood of the Deragons flows within you. I can sense it, and my senses are never wrong when it comes to this.”

Draco started coughing violently all of a sudden, and his face was contorted with pain.

“Mr. Draco? Are you all right, sir?” Rayleigh quickly propped Draco up and patted his back.

“What’s going on, Draco? Are you all right? Maybe I should give you a checkup.” Although Jared hated Draco for what he did to Renalia, he was still concerned about the old man.

Draco waved him down and took a seat on the chair. In the next moment, Draco seemed to age ten years, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Jared wondered what happened to Draco to trigger that kind of change. He looks like he’ll die at any given minute.

Seeing how Rayleigh seemed worried about Draco, Jared reckoned the man must know what was happening to the old man.

“Mr. Jared, now that you know the truth about your origins, my mission has come to an end. However, I did leak some hints about your existence so Ms. Renalia will cling on dearly to life. At the same time, the Deragons are prowling everywhere in search of you. Luckily, all they know of is your existence, not your identity. You are safe for now. But…”

Before Draco could finish, he moved on into another bout of violent coughs.

“Let me be the one to continue, Mr. Draco.” Rayleigh asked Draco to get some rest before turning to look at Jared. “Mr. Jared, you are safe for the time being, but the Deragons will eventually know who you are. The first order of business for you now is to claim the draconic essence on Dragon Island. Only then can you hope to go against the Deragons. You have asked me about the ways energy cultivators get the spiritual energy they need, and now I can tell you the answer. Even though this world’s spiritual energy is running thin, cultivators can still gain them through crystals. Some of the lucky ones manage to get their hands on draconic essence, and that’s practically an endless source of energy.

“All they have to do is consume it, and the essence will provide all the energy they need for cultivation. However, draconic essences are rare, and from what I know, only a handful of cultivators have managed to get their hands on one. Most cultivators rely on crystals for the energy they need. Crystals are similar to spiritual stones, though their energy content is a hundred times more than that of the stones.”

I see. So stuff like crystals and draconic essences exist in this world. Jared thought to himself and said, “I had no idea items like those exist. If what you say is true, then they’re far more valuable than any spiritual stones or herbs.”

“There are many ways for a cultivator to gain the spiritual energy they need. Aside from draconic essences and crystals, they can also get some energy through beast cores. Countless beasts reside in remote places, and those beasts have manifested a core within them after being alive for so long. These cores are also important for cultivation,” Rayleigh continued.

“Hmm, in that case, a draconic essence is a dragon’s core, right?”

Rayleigh paused for a moment to ponder on that matter, then he nodded. “Technically, yes.”
