Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 148: Perhaps Someone Is Playing with Fire

The situation had gone beyond Yana's expectations, which prevented her from taking a leap in the

dark.

She just waited for the elder at the Divinity Phase.

Right now, Yana also kind of regretted it. The alchemy furnace and the Resuscitation Panacea were so

important. Why did she only call for one elder at the Divinity Phase?

She should have asked for another one to make sure there was no risk at all. And it would only take

them a day or two, at most.

However, it was too late to regret it now.

Even if she called for another elder at the Divinity Phase to aid them now, it would still be too late.

Fortunately, Yana did not alert the enemy.

"What about you?"

Jacob looked at the other people at Semi-Divinity Phase again when one of the two from the Reilly

family was dead and the other one injured.

As Jacob's gaze swept over them, these people felt as if it was the gaze of Death.

The fear from the bottom of their hearts made them tremble violently.

No one dared to defy Jacob or escape.

They were all silent.

Seeing this, Jacob released his enormous spiritual will to pressure on them.

As soon as his spiritual will, now at the Incarnation Phase, touched these people, they were instantly

unable to bear the pressure. The weak ones directly knelt on the ground.

While stronger ones like Marvin only resisted for a little bit longer. In the end, they were forced to kneel

down, too.

"Now, I'll count down three. Those who can't pay for their life and won't sign the Soul IOU will have to

die!"

Jacob said coldly.

His voice rang out from the top of Mount G.

"Three!"

"Two!"

Jacob counted down.

Every time he counted, the pressure would increase a little.

Jacob didn't have the slightest sympathy for these people. Just now, they were coveting his miraculous

pills and the Purgatory Sword. Hence, they declared him guilty of multiple crimes out of thin air.

In their eyes, Jacob seemed to become an unforgivable sinner. He had enmity with every single one of

them, and everyone wanted to kill him. They attacked him together. Even though they didn't kill him, it

was because they were afraid that his miraculous pills might be destroyed by accident if they killed him

on spot. It had nothing to do with their "kindness".

Moreover, Jacob, the Emperor of the Dark Realm, always followed his own bent. Nobody and nothing

could bind him except for his own principles.

Just as Jacob was about to spit out "one", his gaze was already fixed on a guy. That guy immediately

felt a fatal danger.

"No, please. I ... I'll sign it!" He said in a trembling voice.

It wasn't until Jude Cowley finished speaking that the sense that he would explode into a mist of blood

the next second left him.

Immediately, he felt as if he had survived a calamity.

At the moment, he couldn't care less about dignity, honor, or loss.

Whether the family would pay such a large sum of ransom was not something for him to consider right

now. He had to sign the IOU first. At least, he could survive at the moment.

The other people all saw Jude drip his blood to sign the Soul IOU.

Although they were upset, they still followed suit and signed the IOU in order to survive.

Only Lance was an exception.

"Kill me if you dare!"

Lance would rather die than surrender.

However, Jacob didn't waste any breath with him.

He just struck Lance once more, and Lance's pores exploded with thick blood mists.

Some of the blood directly sprayed on the Soul IOU.

The Soul IOU took effect immediately.

Lance instantly felt that his soul was bound by a bunch of shackles.

Seeing this trick, Lance was so indignant that he spat out another mouthful of blood. He was already

seriously injured, now he directly passed out.

Jacob sneered and shook his head.

How could the light of a candle be compared with that of the sun?

He was so ignorant!

In his previous life, for hundreds of years, Jacob had killed hundreds of geniuses like Lance.

After all, he only became the Emperor of the Dark Realm by stepping on the bones of countless

geniuses.

Jacob nodded in satisfaction when he saw that they had all signed the IOU. "Those who have signed

the Soul IOU can leave now. Tell your family to get the ransom prepared. I'll collect it after a while.

Whoever dares to disobey, I'll slaughter his entire family!"

The last words "slaughter his entire family" were cold and heartless.

Everyone present couldn't help but tremble and shiver.

Those who had signed the Soul IOU did not dare to show the slightest bit of resent when they heard

this threat.

They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to leave here if they get Jacob on his nerves again.

Immediately, these people all left.

But in their hearts, they had already treated Jacob as a dead man.

As long as they could return home alive, Jacob would die for sure. All the people at the Divinity Phase

in so many families would not let him go. Even if Jacob was at the Divinity Phase, too, there was

nowhere he could go in the world.

Now, the Mount G Exchange Conference finally ended in a cursory manner.

Moreover, it had become the most unbearable one in the history of the Mount G Exchange Conference

among the secluded families.

"Mr. Reyes, didn't expect you to reach the Divinity Phase at such a young age! You are truly amazing,

and I have to say I admire you!"

At this moment, Michael from the Heavenly Pavilion walked forward and saluted Jacob.

Generally speaking, when facing someone at the Divinity Phase, regardless of his age, status, or

background, one should treat him in the courtesy of a junior.

However, Michael wasn't like this and just addressed Jacob as Mr. Reyes.

Jacob didn't care, though.

Michael was from the Heavenly Pavilion. Now he offered to show his kindness. As the saying went, you

didn't beat a smiling face, so Jacob's attitude eased, "I'm flattered."

However, Jacob did not intend to come too close with the people from the Heavenly Pavilion.

Yet, Michael seemed to be familiar with Jacob. He walked forward and whispered, "Mr. Reyes, please

be careful of the people from the Pharmacy Pavilion!"

"Oh?" Jacob seemed to be interested.

"As far as I know, Yana from the Pharmacy Pavilion only came to City R for an alchemy furnace. She

never attended such exchanges. However, this time, she personally came to the Mount G Exchange

Conference. Besides, I noticed that most of the time, her gaze was focused on Mr. Reyes. Therefore, I

would like to remind Mr. Reyes of the potential danger."

Michael continued.

Jacob put on a cold smile.

Even if Michael didn't remind him, Jacob had already noticed. Although Yana had pretended very well,

Jacob's spiritual will was so powerful now that if she stared at Jacob for a few more seconds, Jacob

would be able to sense this kind of intentional gaze.

Therefore, Jacob had already seen Yana's every move.

However, Jacob originally thought that the people from the Pharmacy Pavilion were after his pills.

Unexpectedly, their purpose was, in fact, his alchemy furnace.

It seemed that the people from the Pharmacy Pavilion had also discovered that his alchemy furnace

was extraordinary.

Despite that, Jacob still saluted Michael, expressing his gratitude.

Michael just chatted with Jacob for a few more words before he tactfully walked away.

A little was just enough.

Michael had known this thoroughly.

Knowing that he had left a pretty good impression on Jacob, he should leave quickly, so as not to incur

disgust.

Jacob looked at Michael, and a wisp of praise appeared in his eyes.

However, after Michael left, a strong sense of bloodlust erupted from Jacob's eyes.

If Yana was after his alchemy furnace....

That proved that either Reed betrayed him or something happened to Reed.

Otherwise, the people from the Pharmacy Pavilion would never know that Jacob had the alchemy

furnace.

After all, Jacob hadn't taken out this alchemy furnace from the beginning to the end during the Mount G

Exchange Conference.

"What's the matter?"

Lena immediately sensed the change in Jacob's expression. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She asked in a soft voice.

Worry filled her words.

Jacob looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Perhaps someone is playing with fire!"

His gaze was gentle, but his voice was filled with bloodlust.

Saying that, Jacob prepared to stop the person from the Pharmacy Pavilion and ask her whatever he

wanted to know.

Jacob didn't mind to search through her soul if she didn't cooperate.

However, just as Jacob was about to look for Yana.

Yana's expression suddenly changed.

The elder at the Divinity Phase from the Pharmacy Pavilion had arrived!
