Chapter 37: The Means of a Virtuoso
“Ah!”
Immediately, bursts of screams could be heard coming from the crowd.
Everybody could hear Jacob’s words without any mistake just now. He had said he wanted to annihilate
everyone connected to Glen.
An uproar was upon the scene as people were fleeing in all directions. Miserable screams were
abound, “I’m not related to Glen in any way!”
“I don’t have any blood relations with him at all!”
In the face of death, these members of the Hansen family all tried to sever their connection with Carlton
and his lot. They wanted nothing to do with him.
Carlton was shell shocked as he watched the unfolding of events.
“Master, I am willing to give up every last one of our assets for you to save us!”
Carlton was provoked greatly at this moment. He was crystal clear about his priorities at the moment.
He had to try to survive first.
As long as he could stay alive, he would be able to start things from scratch again.
Carlton’s word finally moved the Dark-minded Master.
One of the men dressed in black from the Army from Acheron was seen springing up and trying to land
a blow on Carlton in order to bring him to the ground.
His fist was careening through the air towards him at high speed.
At the last second, a palm suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked where that person’s fist was
aiming at.
The man dressed in black had his fist crashing into the palm, and immediately a surge of pain coursed
through his body. It felt like his fist had met a steel wall.
Before he could react, that palm flew towards him and landed on his body.
This move looked harmless but at the moment of collision, the man dressed in black was sent flying
through the air.
After he flew through the air for a few meters, that person vomited some blood in the end.
“My dear friend, if you can be so kind to let Carlton live, I can split the assets owned by the Hansen
family with you. How about it?”
This pale palm belonged to none other than the Dark-minded Master.
Because he had formidable combat ability, his skin was preserved pretty well. There was no sign of
ageing and withering on his skin at all, unlike most elderly people.
“You’re courting death here, seeing that you have hurt one of my men belonging to the Army from
Acheron!”
There was only a single reply he could give.
Immediately after, Jacob’s movements blurred as if he was a strike of lightning. He seemed as if he had
teleported to the front of the Dark-minded Master.
A fist was lashed out.
The Dark-minded Master frowned as he was not really afraid of confronting Jacob.
The total amount of assets owned by the Hansen family amounted to a few billion Yuan in value. This
amount was enough for him to take some risks.
The Dark-minded Master retaliated with a fist of his own.
The internal power surged through his body and flowed out of his fist in a torrent.
Bang!
A dull throbbing sound reverberated in the air.
In an instant, the Dark-minded Master seemed to lose his balance, as he had to back off for three steps
before regaining his balance.
Jacob, on the other hand, was standing like a statue on the same spot, looking unfazed.
The Dark-minded Master widened his eyes in disbelief.
He looked at Jacob who had a frosty glare on his face incredulously. He was very shaken up.
According to his calculation, Jacob’s real ability should not be too superior to his.
He wasn’t one hundred percent sure he could trump Jacob, but he was also confident that he wouldn’t
lose to him easily.
This was precisely the reason he had chosen to lash out in the end.
But judging from the looks of things, Jacob was far superior compared to him.
This was too incredible!
“Die!”
Jacob issued one word of warning.
He took one step and was instantly in front of the Dark-minded Master.
He then lashed out a finger and poked the Dark-minded Master.
His speed was extraordinarily fast!
The Dark-minded Master immediately raised his palm in order to go against Jacob’s finger. He wanted
to grab this slim chance to retreat.
But at the point of contact, the Dark-minded Master felt an excruciating pain assaulting him.
All inches of his skin were as hard as steel after countless years of training. But when Jacob’s finger
penetrated his palm, a hole suddenly appeared in the middle of his palm!
This was the first time the Dark-minded Master had encountered such a terrifying opponent since his
name had spread far and wide.
He had regretted his rash decision.
He could have avoided any of this but he couldn’t hold himself in front of the temptation of money and
fortune. As a result, he had now made an enemy of such a terrifying figure.
The Dark-minded Master didn’t hesitate one bit as he turned around to flee.
There was only one thought on his mind now. He had to escape this place as soon as possible!
There was no way he could defeat him.
He could only keep his live if he ran away now.
When Jacob saw that the Dark-minded Master was taking his leave, he didn’t chase after him.
He stood in the same spot while forming a sword shape with his fore finger and middle finger.
Immediately, he aimed his hand at the fleeing Dark-minded Master, and made a slashing motion.
There was a greyish aura resembling the outline of a sword which suddenly appeared in mid-air. This
aura was heading fast towards the Dark-minded Master.
This was bad.
The Dark-minded Master could instantly feel a detrimental danger approaching him like a missile.
He tried with all his might to dodge that attack.
He was able to keep his vitals out of the way, but he didn’t have enough time to make sure his
decapitated palm was out of the way. His hand was snapped in half just like that.
It was as if a sharp blade had severed his hand.
The wound appeared clean at the edges.
But in the next second, fresh blood was gushing out of the wound.
“Ah!”
The Dark-minded Master sucked in a chilly breath of air.
His scalp was somehow tingling.
What kind of existence had he offended this time? That monster was able to release his internal power
and embody it. He was able to land his attack miles away from himself.
This was a mean only those of the virtuoso level could employ! Those who wasn’t at that level had no
way to administer such attack!
Despite the fact that he himself was actually a virtuoso-to-be, he couldn’t produce such an attack.
Could it be that Jacob was a virtuoso? And one who was only in his twenties.
This was unseen and unheard of!
The Dark-minded Master was really terrified now!
He didn’t even care to pick up his broken palm on the ground as he ramped up his speed while
speeding towards South China.
When Carlton saw what happened, he was stunned completely.
Even the Dark-minded Master was no match for Jacob.
And to top it off, he had run away.
“Tonight, nobody will be able to save you!”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded next to his ears.
“Jacob, I beg you to forgive the Hansen family and let me go too. From now on, you can have all of the
assets we own and we will become your money maker too. I will be your puppet at your disposal too, I
just need you to let me live…”
Carlton was still a human being after all.
When he came face to face with death itself, he only came to the realization that he was not as noble
as he thought. He wasn’t someone standing on a moral high ground.
He didn’t want to die here.
“Your sin is unforgivable!”
Jacob looked at Carlton and dished out his final judgment.
At this moment, Dwight suddenly flew in from somewhere and kowtowed in front of Jacob.
“Master, this is Dwight here. I wish to call you my master now. All of these are caused by Carlton this
bastard; they have nothing to do with me. I beg you to let me off the hook this time. From now on, I will
be your slave, your loyal dog…”
Dwight couldn’t stop kowtowing in front of Jacob.
The men in black continued to bring down the blades in their hands.
The members of the Hansen family whom he was familiar with all died right in front of his eyes, one
after another.
Blood was dyeing the ground an absolute red!
The impact was too severe for him!
Jacob peered at the two people in front of him and a cruel grin suddenly appeared at the corner of his
mouth.
“I accept your proposal, but you have to kill Carlton here. If you do that, not only I will let you go, I will
make you the head of the Hansen family too. How about that?”
His words sounded like the message of death for Carlton. But when Dwight heard that, it was as if he
had heard a Godsend sent by angels.
“Thank you, master! Thank you, master!”
Dwight immediately kowtowed furiously in front of Jacob.
“You beast! You dare to do that?”
When Carlton realized that Dwight was dead set on killing him, he was enraged.
“You old bastard! If it was not because of you, who was dead set on getting revenge and provoking my
master, we wouldn’t end up in this predicament. You always love towards your sons, which include
Glen and me. For the sake of my survival, you should just sacrifice yourself in the name of fatherly
love. They said that the love by a father is boundless!”
The love bestowed upon a child was always boundless!
“Therefore, dad, you should die now!”
After finishing his words, Dwight rushed towards Carlton.
“You unfilial son, you damned animal!” Carlton was so furious he spat out a mouthful of blood!
He wouldn’t be able to rest in peace!
After a few minutes…
“Master, I’ve killed him! I’ve killed him!”
Dwight was once again kneeling in front of Jacob, his face livid with excitement.
Although he would become Jacob’s puppet from this moment on, he still couldn’t contain his
excitement.
He would be the head of the family.
He would be the one possessing billions worth of fortune.
He would be the main spokesperson for the Hansen family.
Everything he would get his hands on were what he used to dream of having.
When Glen was still alive, he wouldn’t stand a chance to be the heir to the family. He was envious and
indignant about this fact, but he couldn’t do anything to change things in his favour.
But now, he was just inches away from reaching his dreams!
“That’s great, you’ve done well. But you know what? I hate betrayal the most in my life. In order to Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
survive, you’ve betrayed your own father and the whole Hansen family. You even killed your father with
your own hands. You are worse than animal in this respect. You deserve to rot in hell!”
“Despite that, I will take into account your obedience. So I will make it fast for you!”
When he finished his words, Jacob lightly touched Dwight’s head.
Immediately, Dwight’s eyes expanded incredulously, his gaze was filled with disbelief, indignation and
despair! On the side, Abbott who was rooted to the spot watched this scene and a nauseous fear
permeated through his body. His fear for Jacob was even deeper now.
Jacob was too terrifying!
His means were too gruesome!
You wouldn’t know what his next move would be!
He was totally a monster!
In the end, when Jacob shifted his gaze and it landed on him, Abbott shivered all over as a decision
instantly formed itself in his head.
He kneeled on one knee in front of Jacob while whimpering, “I, Abbott, will pledge my loyalty to you,
Jacob!”
In just a single night, the whole Hansen family was annihilated!
The next day, these changes that happened to the Hansen family was known everywhere as word had
spread all over China! It was a piece of news that shook the nation!
