SWNOVELS Chapter 60: You Were Not Worthy!
Two days later, the missing current Patriarch of the Leif family, Norton Leif, was discovered. His death was miserable as he had suffered a great deal before he died! This incident once again caused a sensation in Riverside City.
Those who had attended the dinner party of the Riverside University, all turned their attention to Jacob.
However, there was no trace of evidence to show that Jacob had done it.
While everyone in Riverside City was discussing heatedly about Norton Leif's death, Jacob was visiting the Derek family!
There were many wealthy aristocrats in Riverside City. And their businesses were all over North Riverside Province and also the surrounding cities. They were very active in business.
But all the wealthy aristocrats knew that they could fight against any family or enterprise in Riverside City except two families. For those two families, they better not mess up with them. They were the Shaw family and the Derek family!
Previously, Lenard Bell wanted to use Lena Bell to seduce a mister from the Goldsmith family in the capital city. One of the main reasons was that Lenard Bell wanted to use the power of the Goldsmith family in the capital to develop and expand the Bell family from an ordinary rich nobleman family to be a wealthy family that could last long forever.
These two families were the ones that had lasted for more than 100 years in Riverside City!
They both had profound heritage!
They both were powerful!
And, relatively speaking, they were much more mysterious and low-key than other noble families.
The task Jacob gave to Lecherous Demon before was to find out where the mana was the highest in Riverside City.
A few days later, Lecherous Demon gave him an answer.
There were two places with the strongest mana in Riverside City. And they were located at the Shaw family and the Derek family. Hearing that, Jacob immediately understood the reason.
It was no wonder that these two families could be passed down for a hundred years in Riverside City and continue to remain strong.
Not like other families, the Shaw family and the Derek family were real martial arts families.
What they passed down for generations was martial arts!
"Why are you here? Spill out!"
In the Derek family, a stocky man immediately said so the second Jacob sat down.
While speaking, the strong man's facial expression was also very rude.
If Jacob didn't show the visit notice that had the signature from both the Hansen family and the Bell family, they wouldn't even let Jacob in at all. But even after accepting Jacob's visit, the Derek family still just sent a junior guy to deal with him.
Jacob didn't care about the strong man's attitude.
After all, he was the one who asked for something.
"Then I'll just say it. This place is the place with the strongest mana in Riverside City. I hope that I can exchange a place from..." Jacob said slowly.
However, before Jacob could finish, the strong man's expression changed suddenly.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you to take the Derek family's territory!" The strong man slapped the table fiercely and stood up.
And the wooden coffee table, under his palm, suddenly appeared a few cracks.
Jacob frowned.
Although the Shaw family and the Derek family occupied the places with the strongest mana in Riverside City, according to Jacob's judgment, the mana from the Derek family was higher than the other. Therefore, Jacob came to visit the Derek family first.
As the Emperor of the Dark Realm, he came to visit such a martial arts family that was not worth mentioning in his eyes, which already gave the family way enough respect.
But after all, Jacob wanted to exchange something from them. So Jacob tried to be nice and respectful.
However, he had just indicated his intention, and he hadn't even said what he would use to exchange it, and then he was interrupted rudely.
No one could be rude like this to the Emperor of the Dark Realm!
No one could still survive after talking to him like this.
Jacob suppressed his unhappiness.
He continued to say, "I don't mean to take your place, but to borrow. You can ask for the conditions. I can meet your conditions, whether they are scriptures of martial arts or the elixirs. In addition, I can also set up the Mana Collecting Matrix for free..."
This strong man was an apprentice of the Derek family named Woodrow Derek, and was famous with his bad temper.
At this moment, seeing Jacob talk nonsense like this, his expression became even madder.
Who in the world would give their scriptures away easily? Even the most common scriptures, people would regard it as treasures, because that was the foundation of a family and the foundation of its inheritance with which one family could be passed down for a century. What was more, once anyone's scriptures had been thoroughly studied by others, he would be end up death for sure.
As for the elixirs, the real elixirs were rare in the martial arts world. There were very a few elixirs that could really help martial arts cultivation, and they required a large number of rare and expensive materials to refine, which made the elixirs priceless.
Not to mention the Mana Collecting Matrix, as a descendant of the martial arts family, he had never even heard of it!
Woodrow didn't believe any condition he said, let alone believing him that he could offer all of those conditions.
Woodrow almost wanted to give a slap to Jacob, who would dare to fool him as well as the Derek family.
However, after thinking about it, Woodrow didn't really do it. He worried that this thin boy would be slapped to death by one of his casual slap.
"For the sake of the Hansen family and the Bell family, I won't do anything to you. You, get out of here!"
The way Woodrow looking at Jacob was like he was looking at an ant. He didn't take Jacob seriously at all.
A killing intent flashed in Jacob's mind, and then disappeared.
"Call your master over to talk to me. Otherwise, you will miss a great opportunity!" Jacob stopped smiling.
"If you don't get out, believe it or not, I will throw you out!" Woodrow said it impatiently.
In Riverside City, the only people who could make him look up upon and treat equally were the members from the Shaw family which shared the same position as the Derek family in Riverside City.
As for those so-called wealthy aristocrats, in the eyes of ordinary people, they might be unattainable, but in the eyes of the descendants of the Derek family and the Shaw family, they were nothing. Only martial arts were what they wanted.
Only Virtuoso was their goal.
Once they became Virtuoso, they would become holy! And it was not only about the strength, but also the life span.
Under normal circumstances, a Virtuoso could live to about one hundred and fifty years old, which was twice as long as a normal person.
Not to mention the levels above the Virtuoso.
The first generation ancestor of the Derek family was a Virtuoso, who lived a full 153 years old. He also built up the foundation for the Derek family!
"I'll give you one last chance to call your patriarch out, and I will give you a great opportunity!" Jacob said again.
"I'll say it again as well. Don't try to challenge my bottom line. I will give you one last chance, get out!"
This time, Woodrow looked at Jacob extremely impatiently.
If Jacob dared to say one more word, he decided to really throw Jacob out.
Hearing that, Jacob sneered. He patted the chair slightly, and then stood up.
At this moment, Jacob no longer showed his politeness as before.
"You are not worthy!" Jacob said lightly.
Then he turned and left.
Of course he could make their masters out, just simply by releasing his imposing aura. The masters definitely would feel it and show up. Under the pressure of his powerful strength, the Derek family would definitely cooperate with him.
But Jacob did not do so at the end.
The reason was simple: He didn't like the Derek family.
As the first family in Riverside City, the Derek family had become arrogant and disrespectful after a hundred years of inheritance.
Such a family would not be passed on for the next hundred years anymore.
"What did you say?" Woodrow's expression was cold.
"I said you are not worthy!" Jacob said coldly.
"You are looking for death!" Woodrow had great intent to kill him.
Woodrow stepped forward to grab Jacob and thought: How dared this guy was to humiliate the Derek family. If he dared to do so, great, he would never leave anymore!
However, the moment Woodrow touched Jacob, he felt great horror deep from his heart, as if he was facing corpses and blood.
Then, Woodrow felt a great force bouncing back on his hand, pushing him away for several steps. His right hand that grabbed Jacob just now, up to his arm spurted out blood, which immediately dyed his entire arm red. Woodrow felt great painful.
What just happened?
Woodrow didn't even realize what happened.
Woodrow couldn't believe that such a boy who looked weak and thin suddenly could push him three steps away?
"You......"
Woodrow didn't have the slightest fear at all.
After all, they were in the Derek family. If Jacob dared to attack him, this stupid Jacob wouldn't be able to walk out alive.
Anyone who walked in the Derek family would have to listen to the Derek family, no matter who they were and how powerful they were!
However, when Woodrow raised his head again, he found that Jacob was nowhere to find anymore.
Where was he?
Woodrow's pupils shrank out of fear.
How could someone disappear so fast, so quietly?
"Who was it just now?" At this moment, an elderly man suddenly walked into the living room.
The elderly man looked powerful and full of energy!
However, his expression looked a bit solemn and shocked.
"Master Wilbert, what's the matter?" Woodrow asked in shock after seeing Master Wilbert coming.
The Master Wilbert, named Wilbert Derek, was one of the Virtuoso-to-be in the Derek family. He spent most of his time in cultivation alone, wishing he could pass the Virtuoso Phase in his lifetime. So he barely showed up.
"I just sensed a frightening mana from here for a few seconds. What's the matter with your hand?"
Wilbert asked aloud, his expression somewhat solemn.
At that moment, he almost thought that the Derek family was invaded by some powerful enemies. That was why he immediately ended his cultivation and rushed over. "Frightening?" Woodrow's eyes widened as he couldn't believe it.
Jacob did hurt him all of a sudden, and disappeared instantly, which shocked Woodrow. He actually misjudged before. Jacob was actually a great master of martial arts! However, Master Wilbert was a Virtuoso-to-be. Even if Jacob was a good master of martial arts, it was still impossible to make Master Wilbert feel afraid!
But if Master Wilbert said so, he must have sensed something.
Even though Woodrow didn't believe that what Master Wilbert sensed was from this living room, he still answered respectfully, "Just now there was a person named Jacob coming for visit. Only because he brought the visit notice from both the Hansen family and the Bell family, I let him in. My hand was injured by him. I thought he is some second generation from rich aristocrats. I didn't expect that he is a good martial arts master. That's why I got hurt from him!"
"Martial arts master?" Wilbert frowned slightly.
At the moment before, the suffocating mana he felt that made him fear indeed came from this direction, but if Jacob was just a master of martial arts, how could he make him feel that way?
"I...I'm not sure!" At this moment, Woodrow's forehead was slightly sweaty.
On the one hand, his hand hurt, and on the other hand, he was shocked by what Wilbert said.
Could it be that he just offended someone he shouldn't trifle with? But Jacob was just a young man, who looked even younger than him!
Thinking of that, Woodrow hurriedly told Wilbert all the details of what happened with Jacob.
At this time, Woodrow regretted a lot.
Obviously any random person could be arranged to send Jacob away. How unlucky he was to be the one!
"Scriptures? Elixirs? Mana Collecting Matrix? Chance? A young man in his early twenties?" Wilbert murmured. After listening to Woodrow's description, his brow furrowed deeper.
Woodrow stood aside being quiet.
At this time, suddenly a gust of wind blew in.
The chair Jacob had just sat on immediately turned into a puff of powder, flying all around the room.
Woodrow and Wilbert's eyes widened instantly!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
