The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5488

Jared raised a quiet hand. The jubilant storm fell instantly to a reverent hush.

The simple motion was calm, almost lyrical, as though every heartbeat in the courtyard flowed from a script only he could read.

"There's no need for ceremony," he said, voice soft yet unbreakable. "I merely did what was right."

With that, he turned toward Twin Ridge Stronghold's storehouse.

Each deliberate step thrummed like a plucked string inside the watchers' chests.

He knew—felt it deep in his marrow—that mountains of celestial gems waited beyond those doors, and that he would need every last shard for the trials ahead.

The great doors creaked open to reveal a blinding trove—celestial gems stacked higher than a man could reach, their pure celestial energy brighter than anything he had seen even in the celestial realm.

Each celestial gem shimmered with an inner cosmos, whispering promises of power and horizons yet to be seen.

Jared spoke with excitement, his eyes gleaming. "Perfect—absolutely perfect! These celestial gems are exactly what I need to push my strength to the next threshold!"

He understood with bone-deep clarity that in that realm—where power decided life or death—only relentless growth could shield both himself and those walking beside him, only strength could let him carry the quiet mission he held in his heart.

Without a scrap of hesitation, he swept every last celestial gem into his storage ring.

His hands moved with the speed of muscle memory, as though he had rehearsed the gesture a thousand times beneath far harsher suns.

"We move," Jared said, turning toward Quincy and the others. "Next quarry—now."

Unblinking resolve burned behind his eyes; no wall of stone, steel, or fear could hope to slow that stare.

In the days that followed, Jared led Quincy and the small band like a blade through silk, carving a path across every quarry the demons controlled within Cardinal Realm.
