SWNOVELS Chapter 90: An Apology
Without Howard, a top Virtuoso, Spencer was the strongest in Goldsmith family. Besides, he was only below Howard and Jamison in terms of seniority.
Therefore, it would be an easy task for him to make Boyce patriarch of the family!
On the other hand, Jacob's internal power was trapped by Howard, which turned Jacob into an ordinary old man. He would spend his final days in the Goldsmith's.
After that, Jacob went straight into seclusion at the Goldsmith's for a few days, refining and absorbing the power of faith within the golden statuette, sending his spiritual will skyrocketing. His spiritual will was able to cover a radius of a thousand meters.
Within the coverage, Jacob could clearly sense the trembling of an ant's antennas!
After absorbing it, Jacob quietly put the golden statuette back in place.
Then everyone from Goldsmith family could continue with their daily worship!
Although Jacob didn't like the so-called Divinity Phase, the ancestor was engraved on every Goldsmith's mind.
Jacob just ignored it. After the power of faith within the golden statuette accumulated to a certain extent, he would come to refine it.
After Jacob came out of seclusion after absorbing the power, Spencer immediately found some beauties from the younger generation of his family to entertain Jacob.
The girls were all enchanting and in their early twenties.
For young men from the family, as well as other young men from wealthy families or with fine pedigree in the capital city, these girls were like goddesses. And they coveted the girls.
However, when Jacob knew the arrangement, he shook his head and refused.
Not every woman was qualified to sleep with Emperor of the Dark Realm!
With the Goldsmiths' Family Protection Matrix broken, Jacob drew up a list of materials for the family to gather, so that he could set up a defensive and offensive matrix for them before he left. Upon hearing this news, Spencer gave orders and went to collect the materials.
Afterwards, Jacob didn't expect his phone to ring.
Ever since he was reborn, his mobile phone became useless to him. He brought it for people in Riverside City to reach him easily. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have brought it along to the capital city, let alone charge it.
Jacob looked at the caller ID: Fatty!
He frowned slightly, then unknitted his brows.
"Fatty!" Jacob picked up and shouted.
Fatty's name was Ron. He grew up with Jacob in an orphanage. If Jacob had any true friends in the world, Ron was definitely one of them.
"Holy shit, Ron, so you remember me. In the past month, I called you but couldn't get through. I thought you vanished into thin air!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came over the phone.
"Ron, let me tell you something. I've recently picked up a girl, and she's rich. I don't need to work my ass off for the rest of my life. I want to learn from you and marry up. I'll live a happy and affluent life ever after!"
Jacob put his hand on his forehead. Although Jacob hadn't personally seen Ron, through the memories of the original owner of this body, Jacob could picture the image of Ron.
"Congratulations! Let's live off women together!"
Jacob said impatiently.
Since Ron was a good friend of the original owner, Jacob naturally inherited a good impression of Ron when he took over this body. "Alright, we live off women together, and when you come to the capital city, I'll treat you to great delicacies and show you around..."
Ron's voice was getting louder. Jacob could imagine Ron beaming with joy when Jacob heard the voice.
"I'm in the capital city right now!"
Jacob said slowly.
Upon hearing that, Ron held his breath.
"Holy shit, forget it... No, I mean you should tell me earlier!"
"Jacob, here!"
When Jacob arrived at the rendezvous with Ron, he saw an overweight young man. The corpulence did not diminish the man's good looks at all. Jacob kept waving his hand at the man. Beside him was a stylish long-legged beauty.
Jacob smiled faintly and quickened his pace.
In the blink of an eye, Jacob covered a distance of more than twenty meters and stood next to Ron.
Ron was too excited to notice Jacob's strikingly fast pace.
The long-legged beauty didn't pay attention to Jacob at all, let alone his pace.
"Jacob, let me introduce her. This is my girlfriend, Sophia Brown."
Ron pointed at her beside him and said.
After the introduction, Ron said to her, "Sophia, this is the big brother I grew up with, Jacob!"
When Sophia heard this, she glanced at Jacob and frowned slightly, not wanting to greet Jacob in the slightest.
Instead, she turned to look at Ron and complained, "Ron, you are my boyfriend now. Don't call him big brother. You're downgrading yourself."
The elated expression on Ron's face immediately disappeared.
Sophia seemed to feel that it wasn't enough. She looked back at Jacob and finally said, "Also, look at what you're wearing. It's all cheap stuff. Don't embarrass yourself in a place like the capital city.
If you see Ron as your friend, then stay away from him. Ron will be my husband, way above any lowlife's station like you.
By then, all his friends will be celebrities and elites. Go home and look in the mirror and find out what you really are. Don't embarrass him again!"
After saying that, Sophia ignored Jacob's reaction and pulled Ron to leave.
Looking displeased, Ron shook off her hand.
"What are you talking about?" At this moment, Ron's voice was no longer as excited as before. He detached himself from the previous gentleness and was cold to her.
Sophia saw Ron, who had always listened to her, disobey her now. She was enraged at once. "I said that he is trash. What's wrong with that?"
"Apologize!" Ron's face tuned completely grim.
"You're telling me to apologize to him?" Sophia seemed to have heard something ridiculous. "Ron, can you stop being funny? I'll give you three seconds to go with me now. From now on, you'll cut off all contac with nobodies like him!"
At the end of her sentence, Sophia sounded like commanding Ron.
"I'm telling you to apologize!"
However, Ron ignored what she said and his expression went grimmer.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? If I didn't take a fancy to you, you would still be working in a bar. You're a piece of trash. Now you've got balls. How dare you point fingers at me!" Sophia exploded as she pointed at Ron's round nose.
In the past, Ron always complied with her requests. Ron never said no to her. But today, Ron actually talked back to her when Jacob was here. Sophia blamed Jacob for everything.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
She looked at Jacob again and took it out on him. "It's all fault. You trash. If it wasn't for you, Ron wouldn't have talked back to me. Get away!" Jacob's expression darkened.
Anyone who ever talked to him like this ended up pathetic!
Sophia just finished speaking.
Smack!
A crisp sound of a slap came.
Ron's palm left a clear mark on her fair face in a flash.
"How dare you hit me!"
Sophia looked into his eyes with anger and disbelief.
"I want you to apologize to Jacob!"
Ron's expression was terribly cold.
He stared at Sophia as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Sophia trembled.
This was the first time she had seen Ron mad like that.
"Ron, you hit me for such trash. You will die!"
How could Sophia, a spoiled woman, grin and bear it?
However, she just said that.
In the air, there was another smack.
She got another palm mark on her face.
"It doesn't matter that you boss me around. You can humiliate me, but not my brother. Apologize!"
Ron looked a bit ferocious now.
He and Jacob grew up together in the orphanage. Jacob was a few months older than him. When they were kids, Jacob often protected him. He remembered it. No one could humiliate Jacob. Sophia was a little frightened when she saw Ron raging like this.
She would make them pay for it!
A hint of resentment flashed through her eyes.
However, she didn't retort.
"I'm sorry!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
