SWNOVELS Chapter 46: Without Missing a Word
As Jacob finished his words, the two women who were going to forcibly take Lena away, stopped. They felt that they were being targeted by the grim reaper at this moment and it seemed like they would be torn to pieces if they made one more move.
Calvin stared at Jacob with an obvious murderous look and said, "I initially wanted to let you live a little longer, since you want to die that much, I'll fulfill your wish!" He wanted to make his move the moment he finished his words, yet out of expectation, accident happened once more. Another voice was heard from afar when he was ready to kill both Jacob and his subordinate. "Well, well. And I'm wondering who's being so arrogant here. It's my defeated foe in the past!" The voice came closer and closer, and another old man who brought several people reached their site too.
"Dark-Minded Master, why are you here?" Calvin's pupil shrunk when he saw the comer. "Why, is this your house? Why couldn't I come when you could?" Dark-Minded Master strode forward while giving a mocking remark. Calvin pulled a long face at once when Dark-Minded Master showed up. He used to have a fight with him after he reached the virtuoso-to-be phase and he had lost to him in the end! Yet as if discovering something funny, he laughed at an instant.
"I didn't expect the infamous Dark-Minded Master would actually lose one hand. It must be karma. And I hope you could do me the favor by telling me which senior on earth has given you mercy by sparing your life? I have to pay him a visit whenever I'm free in the future!" He smiled and his gloomy look vanished. From what he thought, the one who was able to break Dark-Minded Master's hand must be someone from the virtuoso class, and whoever reached the virtuoso phase, no matter age, would be their seniors!
"Oh? You want to pay a visit?" An uncanny smile broke upon Dark-Minded master's lips. "Then you won't have to wait for long, you can do it now. Yet I'm afraid the senior would not only refuse to accept your visit, he might torture you to death too!" His words made Calvin baffled at once, and he witnessed an immensely shocking scene afterwards. Dark-Minded Master had walked to Jacob's front after finishing his words. He stooped and bowed with deference and said, "Mr. Reyes, I have failed to recognize how a great person you are last time, and thus today I come here to plead for forgiveness!"
Jacob glanced at him with expressionless face, yet he was actually slightly surprised. He thought after he escaped, he would not dare to come to the North Riverside Province for a while, and he would immediately run away for his life whenever he met him in the future, afraid that he would hold him to account. Yet unexpectedly, he still showed up and even deliberately wanted to plead for his forgiveness. His murderous look finally disappeared.
Dark-Minded Master had butterflies in his stomach when he sensed his murderous intention, he only heaved a long sigh of relief until he sensed the disappearance of the murderous intention towards him. It seemed like he was right in his doing and he would not have to worry about such a horrifying enemy in the future. A layer of cold sweat had already covered his forehead and he quickly spoke. "Thank you for your kindness for not killing us! You, come and apologize to Mr. Reyes!" He then quickly called Driscoll over.
Driscoll's heart leaped when he saw Jacob before him. "M...Mr. Reyes, it was all my fault before. Please forgive me!" He pleaded for forgiveness and apologized and no longer behaved like what he used to be when he was in the Black Dragon Gang, abetting his grandpa to take vengeance. After all, even his grandpa who was a virtuoso-to-be had abased himself and called Jacob his senior in front of him, he could not refuse to admit defeat.
"It's a great virtue to correct what you have done wrong. Since you've given compensations, you have my forgiveness!" Jacob replied blandly. Driscoll almost coughed blood when he heard his words as that was too shameless. Yet he did not dare to show what he felt on his face blatantly and nodded profusely instead as a sign to appreciate his kindness.
Meanwhile, Calvin who was startled when he watched the scene finally regained his mind. He looked at Dark-Minded Master full of disdainful smiles and laughed. "I can't believe you actually abase yourself in front of such a young fellow. Don't tell me a super ace, a virtuoso-to-be like you has been broken a hand by this young fellow..."
Dark-Minded master stared at him and did not utter a word. He was wearing a creepy smile, and eventually, Calvin's smile gradually froze on his face as he had sensed a terrifying murderous intention and threat! Fear crawled up to his eyes when he looked at Jacob.
"So, do you still want to take Lena Bell away now?" Jacob's words went into his ears and he was so terrified that his face went pale. His horrifying look grew even stronger. He only had this kind of feeling when he faced the virtuoso of the Campbell family, yet he did not expect such a young fellow in his twenties would also have such a terrifying aura! His skill to hurt someone with only voice and words was exactly the one of a virtuoso! How could that be possible? Even Boyce who was the most gifted one in martial arts in the Goldsmith family these centuries and was few years older than the fellow before him only reached the phase of a virtuoso-to-be at the moment. He was now trying to achieve the virtuoso phase which was already counted as an extremely horrifying gift.
"Do you have any idea who am I?" Calvin rumbled. It was at this moment he believed in the fact that Dark-Minded Master's hand was broken by the fellow before him. He had made the judgment that he was no match against Jacob even way before Jacob made his move. He was slightly weaker than Dark-Minded Master. If even Dark-Minded Master was defeated by him and was broken a hand, he could only hope he was able to suppress him with the power of the Goldsmith family.
"You're just some weakling. I don't care who you are!" Jacob's eyes were as cold as ice and he slowly raised his right hand. Calvin sensed grave danger at once while the heart of Dark-Minded Master who was at the side also plummeted. He then widened and locked his eyes on Jacob's movement, not willing to miss any tiny details, because his hand was being broken by Jacob at only one shot from afar!
"I'm from the Goldsmith family in the capital city. I'm the cousin of the current head of the family and I hereby represent the Goldsmith family to come and take Lena Bell back to the capital city. Are you sure you want to stop me?" Even though he had sensed grave danger, Calvin still braced himself to say that, hoping he could force Jacob to resign with the family's power. He had delayed much time here. Since Boyce was going after virtuoso phase, he must immediately bring Lena back to the Goldsmith family. If he had missed the timing, it would be his sin.
"The Goldsmith family in the capital city is nothing to me!" Jacob snorted. The family might be a colossus in China, but what is it when compared to Asia? Or even to the whole Earth? Jacob's eyes always focused outside the Earth, into the starry sky and the universe. Earth was too tiny to him, not to mention the Goldsmith family.
Calvin could sense Jacob's contempt which came from the bottom of his heart. He frowned deeply and wondered his true identity when he did not even care about the Goldsmith family. Jacob's right hand was already lifted in the air. His three fingers curled, and his middle and index fingers aligned to each other, resembling a sword.
Calvin could already sense death at this point of time and he no longer had the arrogance before. He knew with Jacob here, he would certainly not be able to take Lena away no matter how long he stayed. It would even cost his life and the life of the brethren he brought along. He made the decision to retreat temporarily at an instant. He had to quickly inform the Goldsmith family and let them send the virtuosos! "Fine. Since you don't care about the Goldsmith family. We'll see!" He wanted to leave with his men upon finishing his words, yet Jacob once again let out a grim smile. "Is the land of the Bell family the land you could come and go as you wish? What do you think, Lenard Bell, the head of the Bell family?" Lenard almost fainted due to rage when he heard him saying the same words he said to him before.
"What do you want?" Calvin was prepared to leave at first, yet he realized the murderous intention directed towards him had almost materialized and he dared not to move another muscle. Jacob snorted and replied. "Easy. Demon, repeat what you said just now!"
Edwin let out a grin when he heard his words and said, "Initially, as a servant, I shouldn't talk here and there in front of my master, yet I really can't bear with some silly clowns jumping up and down and plus, you can humiliate me, but not my master, I'll forget the whole thing if you all take the initiative to scoop out your eyeballs and cut out your tongue!" He repeated the whole sentences without missing a word.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
