SWNOVELS Chapter 61: A Little Girl
Particularly Woodrow, he remembered that Jacob smacked on his seat before he stood up.
Could it be he who caused it? But, how could that be?
Woodrow could break the table and chairs into pieces if he used all his strength.
But it looked like Jacob could use his internal strength to pulverize the chair into dust. What was more amazing was that the chair remained perfect in its form and one could not tell that it was damaged. If it was not for a breeze that blew in just now...
When he thought of this, Woodrow became horrified. Even Master Wilbert was unable to do that to that degree!
"Did he just sit on that seat?" Even Wilbert as a Virtuoso-to-be was shocked. He could shatter a chair without any problems, including pulverizing it into dust. But what he couldn't do was to let it maintain its original form!
"Looked like our Derek family had lost a huge opportunity!" Wilbert said.
"Master Wilbert, I..." Woodrow was terrified.
Wilbert looked at him but could he blame Woodrow? He couldn't blame him because even had it been other members of the Derek family, when a wealthy person of Riverside City visited them, they would also not receive him with a pleasant attitude because their statuses were very different.
This was due to the family pride accumulated over the centuries! Had Jacob known what Wilbert thought, he would have given him a good scolding. This was not pride but stupidity! "Losing the chance was better than offending him!" Wilbert sighed.
Furthermore, he was a twenty something young man. Even if Wilbert had judged that he wasn't a Virtuoso, he could conclude that Jacob was stronger than him. At this point, his self-confidence was shaken. But he instructed, "Send someone to look for Jacob. Once there is any news of him, immediately invite him over as a guest!"
Jacob sighed after he left the Derek residence.
Although the Derek family lost a great opportunity, similarly, he also couldn't conduct the Mana Collecting Matrix in the Derek family's territory.
Do it forcefully? There was no need to.
Jacob had his pride as the Emperor of the Dark Realm.
If anyone dared to offend him and disrespect him, he would retaliate tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold. Otherwise, he wouldn't have this reputation in the entire universe. Similarly, if others didn't antagonize him or go against him, then Jacob would not intentionally bully anyone.
Although to Jacob, the Derek families were foolish, at least they did not antagonize him. He will also not decimate the Derek family just to hold the Mana Collecting Matrix. It wasn't like him to snatch someone's territory!
Let alone, apart from the Derek family, there was also the Shaw family.
Jacob went home after leaving the Derek family. Thereafter, he instructed someone to send an invitation card to the Shaw family.
It wasn't an invitation but was a challenge!
When the Shaw family received the challenge, they immediately became furious. When did these wealthy families from Riverside have the right to challenge them? Even if the Shaw family now was weakened internally by domestic issues and their power was unlike before, they could not be challenged by any insignificant parties.
"Accept the challenge. Let it be a one-way trip for him. Let those families from Riverside see that the Shaw family is strong and not one they can provoke!" Someone in the Shaw family yelled angrily. Hence, Jacob received a reply on the day the invitation was sent. The challenge was to be conducted in three days' time.
Something else happened within these three days.
As Jacob was going to Riverside University to train for the Mana Collecting Matrix, he passed an alley in a small town and heard a cry for help.
It was none of his business. Jacob never liked to intrude on someone else's matters. But this time when he heard the cries, he inexplicably became curious and went for a look. When Jacob walked into the alley, he saw a group of hooligans surrounding a little girl. They kept hurling expletives at her.
"Damn it, this is the first time I see such a pretty and delicate Lolita!"
"What a great catch. We should sell her and get a fortune from it. After a few more years, she'll definitely become a famous siren!"
"Don't mention in several years, even now there will be a lot of people willing to pay high prices to fuck her. Don't you know that there are people who have a fetish for Lolitas?"
"Why don't we try her first?"
"Fuck off, we won't get such a high price if she is used. But we can certainly satisfy ourselves without deflowering her!"
The hooligans surrounded the little girl and continued to look excitedly at her. Some even wanted to reach out to touch her. The little girl dodged around and was quickly forced to a corner and no longer had any way to retreat.
She cried, wailed, and begged, "Misters, please release me. I have ... some sweets. I'll give them all to you...”
After saying this, the girl took out two sweets from her pocket. She looked at the sweets and reluctantly stretched out her little hand with the sweets on her slightly dirty palm. She was pitiful, scared, and terrified!
"Who the hell wants your sweets?" One of the hooligans hit her hand and flung away the sweets.
The little girl didn't seem to notice the pain in her hand but cried as soon as the sweets flew from her hand. She wanted to reach out to catch the sweets but quickly retracted her hands.
She looked terrified at the men and said, "Misters, please, don't bully me, please..."
The leader of the pack glared at the hooligan who hit the sweets away and then turned to smile at the girl, "Little girl, come with us. I will not hurt you. I'll take you to have some nice food, buy you new clothes and bring you to a place where there are a lot of big sisters. They will treat you very well, okay?"
"Really? Will they really treat me well?" The little girl saw that they stopped bullying her and stopped crying. She looked pitifully at them and she looked puzzled and yet longed to go with the men.
"Of course, it's real. As long as you are a good girl and do whatever brother tells you to, everyone will be very nice to you!" The leader continued to entice her.
"I, Olivia, will be very obedient!" The little girl nodded firmly, then raised her arm to wipe her tears and smiled.
Even when the child's face was dirty, her smile was so radiant and all the hooligans were moved. She was so attractive when she was young, so just imagine how beautiful she would be when she grew up! The leader of the hooligans decided that he must sell her for an astronomical price on account of her beautiful smile!
But such a pure and beautiful child, before she was sold, should they...
"It's good that you will be obedient. Come, let me hug you..." On saying this, he smiled sinisterly and reached out to hug the girl.
The girl noticed that it was not right and wanted to dodge but she had nowhere to run. She could only lower her head and let this person hug her. But then, she waited for a while and the man still hadn't hugged her. The little girl raised her head and noticed that another man appeared out of nowhere and was holding on to that man's hands.
"You guys deserve to die for attempting to touch this little girl!" Jacob raged with the desire to kill.
"Ah! Mind your own business. How dare you interfere with my matters, are you looking for death?" The hooligan leader laughed when he saw that Jacob was alone, looked scrawny, and wouldn't be able to fight.
"Is your name Olivia?" Jacob smiled tenderly at the girl.
The little girl looked at Jacob and felt a sense of security. She nodded firmly, "Yes Mister, I'm Olivia."
"Olivia, close your eyes and cover your ears, okay? Open your eyes only when I call you!" Jacob said again.
"Olivia will listen to Mister!" Olivia said and her voice no longer had that fear and uncertainty a moment ago. After she said, Oliver obediently closed her eyes and blocked her ears.
Jacob turned to look at the hooligans, "Now, you can all die."
His voice seemed to come from the hell when he declared their death sentence.
