Chapter 33: Could We Not Get Divorced Anymore?
“Want me to betray my hirer? You wish!”
Jacob let out a disdainful smile upon hearing that. “Since now I’ve gotten the answer, you can die now.”
He gave a slap on the man’s body after finishing his words and sounds came from inside his body
instantaneously. His viscera and organs had burst almost at once! Just like Scarface, he could not
understand what trick had Jacob used even until he died.
“You’ve watched quite enough. It’s time to show yourself!” Jacob’s glance was diverted to a place at the
side after killing the person. “You’re stronger than what I’ve imagined. Not bad!” An old man stepped
out of the darkness where his eyes touched. “You’ve had the strength of a master in martial arts at
such a young age. You’re a good seed. If you continue to grow well, you could have a place for the
virtuoso in the future! Unfortunately, I have to end a genius’s life today!” The old man chuckled.
Although he said he was feeling sorry, excitement was seen on his face.
Jacob looked at him and knew this person was strong. He was way more powerful than Grizzly Bear,
Abbott, Leopard and the others. Yet he was just in the same league as Edwin Adolph, the Lecherous
Demon. What he replied to him was only one word. Die! His voice was calm yet powerful like a demon
emperor as if you can only choose to die if he wants you to! And there must be no refusal!
The old man chuckled. “You’re mad enough…” A light of bloodlust flashed across his eyes. “Then I bet
the taste of your blood must be good.”
“Jacob, you have to be careful.” Kaley shuddered and looked towards Jacob when she heard the old
man’s words. “He, he’s Alexander Byron who had committed the crime of homicide and blood-sucking
few years ago, and he’s now listed as one of the top wanted criminals across nations. It’s said that the
blood of those who tried to capture him has all been sucked out. Therefore he’s an extremely
dangerous person!
“News went viral on the internet afterwards that he has once again travelled to the countries amidst
wars in the Middle East and has vanquished several mercenaries all by himself. He sucked their blood
dry and built an infamous mercenary group named Bloodlust himself!” The news had given her deep
impression when she accidentally read about it.
“I never expect that after all these years, someone could still recognize me.” The old man chuckled.
“Girl, I was only intending to kill one person for the reward which is only based on killing one person
only. Now that you have recognized me, I guess you can only die today. You look pure and pretty, and
must be a virgin, therefore your taste must be great too.” Alexander licked his lip. His look had
frightened Kaley and made her shudder.
“I don’t care who you are, and what did you do in the past. They’re none of my business. Yet since
you’ve left the Middle East and returned to Riverside City, working for the Hansen family and wanting to
kill me, it’s going to be the most wrong decision you’ve ever made in your life!” Jacob said. “And this
mistake is lethal.”
“Boy, you’re too reckless. And that’s only going to make you die earlier.” A look of bloodlust flashed
across his face and he immediately dashed towards Jacob. A claw was waved down quick as lightning.
Jacob gave a grim smile and with only a slight movement dodged Alexander’s furious scratch.
Alexander was surprised. He clearly did not expect him to dodge his attack that easily. He then once
again leaned forward and the waving of his claws was illusionary. Yet he still did not manage to hurt
Jacob a bit, and could not even touch his sleeve.
How, how is that possible? He had clearly determined that his level of strength was only until the
strength of a masterstroke at most just now. And from his young age, he seemed like he had either just
entered the state of a masterstroke or he had been in the state for a few years at most. As for him, he
had been in the masterstroke state for many years and though he had not been promoted to the
virtuoso phase all the time, by sucking fresh blood from countless people and continuing to refine, it
could be said that he had reached the extreme of the masterstroke phase. It was never too much to call
him a virtuoso-to-be. To him, he needed only five or even less moves to defeat Jacob. Yet now that he
had used over fifty moves, it was baffling that he still could not even touch bit of his clothes.
“You’re too slow.” A level voice went into his ears, and it was from Jacob who was dodging his attack
like a breeze. “How arrogant.” Alexander roared and his internal power exploded madly. His speed
surged and he finally caught his shoulder this time. Smile appeared on his face. That was the result he
predicted. His claws were trained until they could penetrate steel board and crush iron ores, almost
invincible. Fetching bullets was not even a problem at some cases.
He laughed. “Boy, price needs to be paid for being arrogant.” He let out a cruel smile. “But don’t worry, I
won’t kill you right away. I’ll let you witness your own blood being sucked by me drop by drop until you
slowly die in despair…” He exerted some force on the claw which was clamped onto Jacob’s shoulder
at once upon finishing his words. He wanted to crush his shoulder blade first, ruin his limbs and then
slowly sucked out his blood. He would cut off his head at last and then bring it back to the head of the
Hansen family for his son’s memorial.
“Despair starts now!” The smile on his face grew more and more furious, yet it ceased and froze on his
face soon enough. It was because to his horror, he realized his invincible claw did not penetrate
Jacob’s shoulder and crush his shoulder blade as expected when he exerted force. Not to mention
penetrating, he could not even leave a scratch on it. He realized what he gripped seemed to be not a
human’s shoulder, but adamant steel. Yet even if it was steel or iron, he could crush and penetrate it
without effort, so what had happened to Jacob’s shoulder? The shoulder that he could have crushed
effortlessly was not given a single scratch though he had used all his strength.
“Your strength is too small!” Jacob spoke once again just like how he commented on his speed just
now. “What?” It was then Alexander became slightly terrified at this moment. “I just want to test to what
extent the power of the martial art on Earth could go. Yet it looks like I’ve searched for the wrong
person. Because you, are too weak!”
You, are too weak! Alexander’s expression changed when he said those words. He was an ace in the
masterstroke phase of the martial art, and he had mastered this phase for countless years. He was the
existence that could even be called the virtuoso-to-be. Yet when he faced Jacob, it turned out he was
remarked as too weak. Could it be that Jacob was an ace in the virtuoso phase? How could that be
possible?
“Since I couldn’t investigate the power of the martial art on Earth through you, you’re of no use to me.
So you can die now!” Jacob spoke slowly. He sentenced him to death as if resembling the emperor that
controlled life and death. Alexander shuddered fiercely the moment he finished his words. He seemed
to have heard several words when he was in a blur. “The nine secrets of the demon emperor, the first
secret, engulf!” He then felt that Jacob who was before him seemed to have transformed into a black
hole, and the strong internal power inside his body started to flush madly into Jacob’s body.
“No!” Alexander shrieked and wailed, and wanted to retrieve his claw which was clamped onto Jacob’s
shoulder. Yet no matter how he put forth his strength, his claw seemed to have stuck on his shoulder
and could not budge a bit. He could only watch the internal power which he had trained and gathered
for half of his life being absorbed by Jacob continuously. And Jacob was looking at him like looking at a
dead man. Alexander screamed and was almost in despair. His internal power kept draining away and
he felt that his strength was dropping down in accord.
“Jacob Reyes, you good-for-nothing bastard! I’ll not let you do as you wish! Die!” He bawled furiously
and at the same time, an abrupt gunshot was heard. A bullet came whizzing past. “Looks like you guys
have gone to great lengths to kill me. But do you think you could kill me like that? Ignorance is truly a
scary thing!” Jacob peered at Alexander who had gone deranged with an even more disdainful look.
The bullet of the sniper rifle was fast. It pierced through the part between Jacob’s eyebrows from the
back of his head in just a split second and Alexander’s smile became wilder when he witnessed the
scene. He stuck out his tongue ready to lick the blood that gushed out yet to his surprise, it was not
how he expected. There was no blood, not a single trace. He then realized Jacob’s head had already
been diverted to the other side. It was just that he was too quick as if teleportation had taken place that
a transient delusionary shadow was left at the original spot. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“You can die now.” A cold voice rang beside his ear, and he felt that his flesh and bone were bursting at
once. The agony of being tortured was sensed from every part of the body.
Two gunshots were heard once more, yet Jacob did not sense any danger. He was confused at first but
he quickly realized, and it was the first time he felt a chill. He had ignored Kaley. With a flash, he
appeared beside her, yet he was too late. A fountain of blood was sprayed out and the sniper who was
hiding at the dark side let out a smile. You can dodge the bullet, but your woman can’t. Since you care
about her that much, you’re destined to die. He did not expect he would be the one who completed the
mission at last.
“Jacob…” Kaley gave a shudder. The bullet from the sniper rifle had pierced through her body. She
seemed to have witnessed the scene which Jacob was going all out to fight with ten or more strong
men just to save her before her eyes. Two gunshots were then heard once more and she wanted to
haul Jacob down subconsciously as she wanted to save him once too. Yet a mixed expression was
seen on Jacob’s face and he spoke. “Silly girl, if I refuse to die, no one could kill me!” He carried her
and turned slightly sideways, dodging the two bullets that were shot towards him again.
Kaley felt too painful that she shuddered, yet she felt warm and relieved in his arms. It was just that her
consciousness had slowly drained away. “Jacob, could we not get divorced anymore?” She spoke with
a trembling voice at last. She coughed blood the next moment because her wound was triggered yet
she ignored that and stared at Jacob with hopes instead.
“Sure, I promise you!” Jacob lowered his head and whispered. He then raised his head and stared
towards the direction where the bullet was shot, looking outraged.
