Chapter 527 Who Exactly Are You
Tristan cast a glance at Jared. He needed the latter’s permission for that.
Jared nodded. “Go ahead. But don’t be too late. We still have business tomorrow!”
“Got it!” Tristan nodded.
“Tristan, why do you keep obeying him? There’s no need to care about him.”
Megan grabbed Tristan’s hand and left.
After Megan and Tristan left, Dante waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave the room.
Jared took a sip of his tea. “Please cut to the chase!”
He knew Dante had something to talk to him in private.
Just as Jared finished his words, Dante kneeled before Jared. Jared was startled by that.
“Mr. Chance, please save my daughter’s life.”
Dante knelt before Jared and pleaded.
Jared was utterly stunned as he immediately helped Dante to his feet. “What do you mean by that?”
Dante looked at Jared and said, “Mr. Chance, you’re an extraordinary man. Only you are capable of saving my daughter’s life. You are the benefactor that I’ve been waiting for!”
“Does your daughter have any kind of complicated disease?”
Jared did not understand what Dante meant.
Dante shook his head. “Mr. Chance, I know you came here to fight Crescent Sect, and I know you’ve killed Venicus, Zedekiah, and two other guardians. Crescent Sect has a strong grudge against you now!”
“Who exactly are you?” Jared furrowed his brows. He felt uneasy for not knowing much about Dante.
He seems to know everything about me, yet I don’t know anything about him!
“Mr. Chance, to be honest with you, I was the leader of Crescent Sect.”
Upon hearing that, Jared tensed up as he put on his guard against Dante.
“Mr. Chance, you don’t have to be afraid. I was the leader five years ago. The current leader is my disciple, Fabian Quillen!” Dante immediately explained after seeing Jared’s reaction.
“Explain everything to me clearly…”
Jared furrowed his brows.
“Okay!” Dante started explaining everything to Jared.
Crescent Sect was initially a regular organization before it turned into a cult. Back then, Dante was famous for his exceptional physiognomy skill and had taken in many disciples. Crescent Sect was doing well and growing strong. Yet, after he accepted Fabian as a disciple, the latter eventually cast him out and became the leader himself.
After Fabian had become the leader, the entire Crescent Sect had become something else under his influence. They would do anything to gain skills and wealth. In order to make his men stay loyal to him, Fabian had even raised parasites to manipulate everyone in Crescent Sect.
Recently, many young girls in Whitesea had been reported missing. Dante guessed Fabian was behind this. Dante also knew that his days were numbered and that Fabian would harm Megan. However, he knew a benefactor would show up before that happened, and so he had been waiting for the man who could save his daughter’s life. As soon as he saw Jared, he figured right away that Jared was the benefactor who he had been waiting for.
Jared nodded after he understood what was going on. Still, he had some doubts. “Mr. Simmons, since you are so good at physiognomy, why did you fail to predict Fabian’s malicious intentions? And why didn’t he kill you when he cast you out of Crescent Sect?”
Dante let out a sigh. “Fabian must have known I was good at physiognomy, so he had disfigured his face before becoming my disciple. He said his family died in a fire, and he was the only one who survived. However, his face got burned severely. I took him in out of pity. He has been wearing a mask ever since!
As for why he didn’t kill me, I guess he still needs the secret scrolls of physiognomy from me. However, I can feel that he will make a move on me soon. The only way he can force me to hand over the secret scrolls is to use my daughter, Megan, as leverage. Mr. Chance, you are the only person who can save her now!”
