SWNOVELS Chapter 89: Goldsmith Family in Beijing
In Beijing, the Goldsmith family!
When Jacob brought Vampire and Mantra to the Goldsmith residence...
The Goldsmith family had long since been in defense.
As one of the Goldsmith family's trump cards, Howard, a top Virtuoso who could hardly be seen, was standing in front of his family members.
Howard's eyes flashed when he saw the three people walking towards him.
"Spencer, where's your father?"
Howard's voice was a little hoarse, but when he spoke, it was as loud as thunder.
When Mantra heard this, he did not answer.
He respectfully followed Jacob and headed towards the residence.
A trace of pain flashed across Howard's aged face.
He was too old. In this life, his Martial Arts cultivation couldn't be further improved. There was no hope for him to reach the Divinity Phase. In less than five years, he would die.
As a bloodline of Jamison and also a top Virtuoso, there was a special connection between them. Some time ago, he felt that Jamison's life had gone and realized that something had happened, so he immediately went out of seclusion.
Only then did he know about what happened in the Goldsmith family.
However, he still had a silver of hope. But now, seeing Spencer behave like this, he knew that Jamison, the number one expert of the Goldsmith family who had reached the threshold of the Divinity Phase, had perished.
As for him, his life was coming to an end. He could predict the decline of the Goldsmith family!
"This must be Jacob!"
Howard said when he saw the young man leading Spencer and Boyce.
"Yes." Jacob looked at him and said indifferently, "If you are sensible, you can live!"
Complicated emotions flashed across Howard's eyes. "I am on the verge of death, a few more days of life means nothing to me."
"Jamison had his death coming. If my family hasn't provoked you, if Boyce didn't let someone kidnap your wife and your men, we wouldn't have ended up like this. We can blame no one but ourselves!" Jacob's eyes flashed with surprise.
"I cannot change what has happened. I promise not to pursue it any further and I am willing to compensate. I wonder if you can hand the two traitors over to my family. From now on, our history will be written off!"
For the sustainability of the Goldsmith family, Howard had to compromise.
Moreover, Jacob was a genius who could kill Jamison at such a young age. His power was inferior to Jamison's, so he was no match for Jacob.
"What a joke. If that's the case, wouldn't anyone cause me troubles and hurt my friends and relatives? And it is only when they find out that they can't win against me will they compromise?"
Jacob sneered.
"I know that you are strong, but if you insist, we both will suffer. Why not play a win-win game?"
Howard continued.
He couldn't kill Jacob, which meant that the Goldsmith family would have a terrifying enemy who could reach the Divinity Phase. No matter how strong the Goldsmith family was, once he died, it would be in danger!
"We both suffer? You think too highly of yourself."
Jacob sneered.
"I am indeed no match for you, but you are too arrogant. My family once had a Divinity Phase expert!"
Howard knew that Jacob would never let go. Since that was the case, then let's fight.
"Matrix activated!" Howard shouted.
Immediately, Jacob felt the surroundings change.
And he was in a huge, boundless maze.
The surroundings were misty!
He couldn't tell time and direction!
Psychedelic array!
Jacob immediately determined what matrix it was.
"Jacob, you've fallen into the protective matrix of our family. This is the design of our Divinity Phase progenitor. Enjoy it!"
Howard's voice rang out like thunder.
The corner of Jacob's mouth curled into a cold smile.
Was it laid out by a Divinity Phase expert?
The psychedelic array was indeed quite impressive.
However, it wouldn't make a difference to him.
If he was still in the Gasification Phase, Jacob had to find the matrix eye to crack it.
But now, he was at the Incarnation Phase!
Even though he was in the preliminary stage.
It was a great change.
"What is Incarnation Phase? It can't be understood by mortals!"
"It's just an illusion matrix, go on and break it!"
Jacob shouted as he stood there and stomped on the ground with his right foot.
Instantly, a strong wind was created with Jacob being its center.
"Damn, the matrix is unstable!"
Howard was shocked.
This was the matrix designed by the patriarch. Even if one was at Divinity Phase, breaking it would require quite some tricks and it would be impossible for a top Virtuoso to break it by force.
How could the matrix become unstable?
Fortunately, the matrix just fluctuated for a moment before stabilizing again.
"This brat is so monstrous. I hope that the matrix can trap him. If he can't break the matrix, and he can't eat or drink, he might be trapped until his death. If that's the case, then my family will be safe!" Howard looked at Jacob and sighed.
At the same time, he looked at Vampire and Mantra with coldness. However, at this moment, Howard felt the matrix shake again.
Although it just last for a second, its intensity was even greater!
An unbelievable thought suddenly occurred to Howard.
Was Jacob breaking the matrix by force?
He was actually able to shake the matrix set up by the patriarch?
Howard was a little scared!
Then, the matrix shook again.
Howard was shocked.
Jacob was really breaking the matrix by force and he made it!
...
Jacob, who was in the matrix, was surprised.
The psychedelic array was more solid than he had expected.
It seemed that the experts of the Divinity Phase on Earth were quite something. However, that was all.
"Break!"
Jacob shouted again, and waves after waves of power of chaos were released.
And the power crushed everything it encountered.
In the next moment, the mist and the maze disappeared.
It returned to normal.
Seeing this, Howard's eyes widened in disbelief.
Jacob had broken the matrix!
How was this possible?
"You, how could you...?"
Howard stuttered.
Jacob sneered, "You really think I'd fall for that?"
After Vampire took charge of the Goldsmith family, he would set up a new matrix.
A matrix that could both offend and defend.
If he could gather all the rare materials in the universe, Jacob would even be able to set up matrixes that protected sacred places in the universe and long-living families. Even if the earth exploded, it would shelter the Goldsmith family!
At this moment, Howard was desperate.
Jacob's power was beyond his imagination.
Was it God's will to doom my family?
Pain flashed across Howard's face.
However, Jacob suddenly felt a frightening aura.
His heart skipped a beat.
In the Goldsmith family, there was such a terrifying aura.
Then, a golden light flashed towards Jacob.
Jacob's eyes lit up.
Immediately, he waved his hand and a grey light came into shape. It was the power of chaos and it wrapped the golden light that shot towards him.
The golden light did not vanish immediately.
It resisted the corrosion of the power of chaos for a few seconds and then disappeared!
Interesting!
If Jacob didn't cultivate the power of chaos in this life, he would have been injured by this golden light.
Jacob estimated that if he used nourishing mana instead of the power of chaos, he might not be able to subdue it.
In the Goldsmith family, there was a magical treasure!
Jacob's eyes flickered!
Howard was stunned when he saw the scene just now.
Who in his family was capable of launching such an attack?
How could he not know that there was another expert?
When the presence of frightening golden light, his desperate heart was in his mouth as he felt a silver of hope.
However, the next second, his hope was shattered.
Jacob was too strong!
Howard knew that if it was him, he would have been severely injured by the golden light, and he may even die.
However, it didn't hurt Jacob at all.
No wonder Jacob had the ability to kill Jamison.
Perhaps Jacob was about to set foot in the Divinity Phase.
The more he thought like this, the more desperate Howard became.
Jacob reached out and patted Howard's body, and instantly, all his acupoints were blocked.
So that he could no longer use his internal power.
"I'll leave the rest to you!"
Jacob said to Vampire and Mantra behind him.
"Yes!"
Vampire and Mantra answered at the same time.
After that, Jacob carried Howard and disappeared.
Just now, he used his spiritual will and found the source of the golden light.
It was from the Goldsmith family's ancestral hall.
A moment later, Jacob brought Howard there.
The ancestral hall had many ancestral tablets in it.
However, there was a separate altar with no ancestral tablets but a golden statuette on it.
When Howard saw the golden statuette, an idea popped up. Could the golden light be emitted by this statuette?
Otherwise, Jacob wouldn't be here with him.
"Is this statuette your progenitor?"
Jacob asked.
Howard proudly said, "Yes!"
At the same time, waves of shock surged in his heart. The progenitor left behind this statuette and the words "young generation, worship it every day" a hundred years ago and then disappeared from the world
A hundred years had passed.
He never showed up again!
They, as the young generation, guessed that the progenitor must have died a long time ago.
However, he never imagined that the statuette left behind would launch such an attack on its own accord a hundred years later!
If it was someone else instead of the monstrous Jacob, he would have been killed the moment he invaded the Goldsmith family and destroyed the protective matrix.
"Patriarch, you have done a lot for us, but unfortunately, God will annihilate our family!"
Howard's face was filled with sorrow. He seemed to understand why the patriarch asked the young generation to worship the statuette every day.
Jacob stepped forward and took the statuette off the platform.
He held it in his hand.
Seeing this, Howard was about to rush forward to fight Jacob.
However, his internal power was sealed. He was no different from an ordinary old man. He couldn't even get close to Jacob, let alone stop him.
After Jacob got the statuette, he felt it and sneered.
"Not dead yet?"
Jacob sneered.
This statuette wasn't some sort of magical artifact that Jacob thought of.
It was a sacrificial artifact.
In the universe, there were people practicing witchcraft and sacrifices, and Jacob didn't find it strange.
This statuette actually contained the power of faith.
Moreover, there were some mysterious runes inside. Every once in a while, the power of faith would be released through the runes.
Jacob knew that the power of faith was probably the product of daily worship of the family's juniors.
After all, the patriarch was the family's faith, someone that the descendants were fanatical about and worshiped.
There was still quite a bit of power of faith stored in the statuette. The golden light just now was just part of it.
"If I refine the power of faith in this statuette, it will help increase my spiritual energy by a large margin. At that time, my spiritual will can become even stronger."
Jacob thought.
As for the family's progenitor, Jacob didn't care about whether or not he died.
The power of faith was his!
Jacob used his spiritual will and the power of chaos to erase the runes inside the statuette!
At the same time.
Somewhere on Earth!
A man suddenly opened his eyes, and they were shining with golden light!
