Chapter 54: Present
Chapter 54: Present
It was the same sentence, but Ternence got more hopeless each time he heard it.
Ternence secretly cursed Channing and his ancestors.
He regretted so much!
Jacob was too horrifying! Ternence had never seen anything like this before.
Ternence had been through so much to get to where he was today, and he didn’t want to die. He
quickly rushed himself to Jacob and kneeled in front of him, “Jacob…no, Master Jacob, I’m so sorry. It’s
my mistake. I shouldn’t have taken Channing’s offer. I would give up all my property in exchange for my
life. I beg you to spare me, please. I promise I will bring Channing to you!”
Begging for his own life wasn’t anything Ternence was ashamed of.
When he was weak, he used to beg for his life a lot when he was beaten up.
As long as his life was spared, he would do it a million times.
“The Emperor of the Dark Realm will never renege on his words!”
Jacob spoke slowly while he looked at Ternence, who kneeled in front of him.
Ternence got stunned as he didn’t understand what Jacob meant.
“It means when I said I will send you to hell, I will.”
“You should have known better before laying your hands on my woman.”
Jacob continued.
This time, Ternence understood.
Jacob didn’t plan to spare his life after all.
“Jacob, damn you! I will kill you!”
Ternence picked up the gun he dropped earlier, pulled the trigger and shot Jacob like he was insane.
Gunshots were echoing between the walls.
Every bullet was aimed and shot straight into Jacob’s body.
Ternence had hoped that within such a short distance, Jacob couldn't escape from the bullets.
After Ternence started shooting, Jacob didn’t try to dodge the bullet at all. It made Ternence happy.
I shall see you die now!
However, until the magazine was emptied, Ternence found that Jacob didn't get hurt at all!
Ternence widened his eyes out of surprise.
This time Jacob didn’t dodge any bullets, and all of them went straight into his body.
But what happened?
He stood there safe and sound.
“The Emperor of the Dark Realm shall not be offended. Ye had sinned for your offence.”
“Now, before I send you to hell, I will let you know what pain and despair feels like!”
Jacob stared at Ternence and said.
At the same time, Jacob reached out his right arm and opened his palm. The bullets were all in his
palm. He then threw those bullets towards Ternence’s direction.
Ternence was so shocked that he didn’t even know what to react.
He was confused.
Some people could dodge bullets. It is imaginable.
But within such a short distance and to be able to catch bullets with bare hands? He couldn’t
understand how Jacob did that.
Just like when Jacob beheaded those Eagle Branch members with just a wave of his hand, it confused
Ternence.
After completing his sentences, Jacob looked at the other Eagle Branch members and asked, “Do you
all want to die?”
The remaining members of the Eagle Branch shook their head when they saw Jacob turn and look at
their direction.
Jacob was now scarier than the devil to the rest of the Eagle Branch members.
“Do you all want to live then?” Jacob asked again.
The smile on Jacob’s lips was just like a smile on face of the God of Death.
All Eagle Branch members nodded their head unanimously like they had been practising it before this.
“If you want to live, then each of you will have to make three cuts on him.”
“There are twenty-three of you here. Each person makes one cut, and it repeats three rounds. It’s sixty-
nine cuts in total. I don’t care how you do it, but he must die after sixty-nine cuts. If he dies before that,
the person who killed him will have to take the remaining cuts for him!”
Jacob slowly laid out his word.
As if he was talking about something insignificant.
However, it had caused a totally different reaction among the Eagle Branch members. All of them were
in shocked, and they looked at Jacob in a terrified look.
Ternence was in despair.
“How dare anyone of you to come forward!” Ternence shouted.
“Who dares not to go?” Jacob said in a calm tone while he looked at the members of the Eagle Branch.
As compared to Ternence’s anger, the look Jacob had in his eyes terrified the Eagle Branch members
more.
“Ternence, I’m sorry.”
One of the elite members of the remaining Eagle Branch members walked out from the crowd and
headed towards Ternence.
He felt it. If he didn’t do exactly as what Jacob said, he would end up like those who got beheaded
earlier.
He must betray Ternence for his own life.
Since it was a must, he might as well do it as early as possible. The later he took action, the higher the
possibility that Ternence died in his hands.
He thought it through.
The moment he took action, the other members of the Eagle Branch realized that the later they took
action, the more danger they were in too.
In just one second, all of those who came to back Ternence up moved towards Ternence’s direction.
The scream of Ternence soon echoed between the walls of the room.
However, Ternence’s screams could only be heard in the room.
There was the sound of heavy bass music outside. As Ternence screamed painfully, the bars under his
branch got livelier.
That very night, a piece of shocking news spread among the underground force of Riverside City.
Ternence, the person in charge of the Street of Bars in the North District of Riverside City, who was
also known as the head of the Eagle Branch of Buddy League, died together with a few of his assistant,
including Panther and Serpent.
No one knew the cause of their death, but they died in a horrible form.
The Buddy League sent people to investigate their death. They investigated all the members of the
Eagle Branch, but none of them knew what happened.
That very night, all of the underground forces reached out their paws to the Street of Bars and caused
quite a chaos in the place.
…
But none of these was made known to Channing.
He was waiting at home.
Today Jacob patted his shoulder in the mall, and he got paralyzed for three hours, and he just gained
his senses back a moment ago.
Channing felt humiliated.
He had never been humiliated in such a way!
And all of these were caused by Jacob. A nobody!
A slave who he used to toy and humiliate had embarrassed him.
He will never let it slide.
Channing contacted the head of the Eagle Branch, Ternence and made an offer to him under the rage.
He wanted to make Jacob regret what he did.
Didn’t Jacob got ‘married’ to Kaley and depended on her to live? Now Channing wanted to play some
‘games’ with Kaley and take some photos of hers.
With those photos, he can humiliate Jacob as much as he wanted.
However, Channing waited too long for Ternence to send Kaley over.
Channing got impatient.
When he was about to make a call and urge Ternence, his doorbell rang.
Channing got excited and put down his phone immediately.
Then, he opened the door. There were two men in a black suit standing in front of his door.
Their dressing looked exactly like the dressing style of the Eagle Branch members.
“Where is Kaley?” Channing asked.
He was getting impatient.
“There were some unexpected events. Kaley had been working overtime in the office. We hadn’t got
any chance to kidnap her.” One of the men in the black suit answered politely.
Looking at their polite attitudes, Channing got a little arrogant.
“What are you doing here then?” Channing purposely put up a straight face and asked. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Ternence said it is our fault that we didn’t do our job well and kept you waiting. We didn’t want you to
feel bored, so we are sending you some presents to enjoy first. We will send Kaley to you right after we
get her,” the man in the black suit explained in a polite tone.
Upon finishing his sentence, he moved away from the door.
It was now only Channing found out that there were two pretty girls at the door.
They had a hot body figure.
The best thing was that they were two sexy white women.
Channing got excited immediately.
He understood right away what ‘present’ Ternence was sending him.
“Not bad. Tell Ternence I said thanks.”
Channing didn’t say anything else and led those white women straight into his room.
Before he could get Kaley, it was good to have some appetizer too.
“Enjoy!”
The men in black suit turned and walked away after that.
They could hear the sound of laughter from the room as they were walking away from it.
Then, both of them looked at each other and smiled.
“Imagine the despair he would feel when he finds out that those women are AIDS patients. Whoever
offended master wouldn’t end up well. Now that I think those who died right away are considered very
lucky. For him, he had to feel the despair and slowly die…”
“Now I understand why master called himself a demon!”
At the same time, a tattoo showed on their shoulder.
It was vaguely identifiable as ‘Army of Acheron’.
