“I don’t care who you are, I will kill you!”
Jasmine’s eyes flooded with hatred. Countless silver spikes formed at the surface of her skin as she
bellowed thunderously. It only took a snap of her fingers to pierce the floor and walls with tiny yet deep
holes.
Looking at the mutated being before his eyes, Jacob frowned slightly, “You’d scare my little girl with that
look.”
Then, he balled his fist, turned his hip, and launched a punch into the air.
Under the potent pressure of the battle qi, Jasmine’s razor-sharp spikes started breaking and rapidly
turned into dust as seen by the naked eyes.
As silver dust sprinkled in the air, Jasmine, in her mutated form, started showing signs of web-like
cracks on her skin.
“No!” She roared – almost disfigured at this point with the number of cracks on her face, “I gave up my
body and settled as a mutant just so I can kill you! But why…”
Jacob took a step forward with an apathetic expression, “You talk too much, die!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment he finished his sentence, the surrounding air started shaking once again. Jasmine gaped
her eyes, and ‘boom’ – she exploded from a build-up of internal pressure.
Silver dust filled the corridor, floating in the air and slowly landing on the ground under the gust of wind.
Soon, a thick layer of said dust formed on top of Dave’s body.
Jacob gazed down at the body with a mysterious face.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head to look at the end of the corridor. ‘Swoosh’, with a soft
sound, the window cracked open, and a gentle breeze came through.
A dark shadow flashed, and Jerry landed with his knees bent, holding the Ancient Jade Bronze Sword
in his hands.
He could not help but notice the remaining silver dust around the space as he stood to his feet, “Boss,
are you alright?”
He had just finished his words when the stairwell doors opened with a slam, and Gerald stormed in
violently followed by Trey and Ocho.
They saw Jacob standing quietly with his back straight in the middle of the corridor and they bowed
courteously, “Please forgive us for arriving late!”
Jacob held up a hand as a gesture of mercy, “There’s one more up there, someone take care of him.
Gerald, go downstairs and work with Willow to calm the crowd.”
“Yes, sir!”
Four of them responded collectively. Jerry brought the dragons with him and headed to the top floor as
Gerald left for the ground floor.
As for Jacob, he took a last glance at the silver dust on the ground before returning to the suite room.
Upon entering the room, he saw the little kid staring at the TV unblinkingly. This brought a tinge of
warmth to his heart as he smiled and sat crossed-leg on the thick rug next to her.
His phone went off abruptly. Looking at the caller’s name, Jacob slightly knitted his brows before
declining the call.
Meanwhile, at another corner of the hotel, Moira was gritting her teeth furiously, “Damn it! Trying to hide
Heidi from me? Humph, dream on!”
She started tapping on the screen vigorously and sent a text message.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Ding,’ Jacob’s notification bell went off, and he swiped to unlock it.
‘You have three minutes to send little Heidi back to me!’
Jacob replied coolly, ‘What if I don’t?’
This guy is pushing my limits!
Moira started panting heavily when she saw the reply. Her bubbly eyes shot wide open at this point as
she typed another message and sent it.
‘I’ll call the police!’
Police? Jacob was unruffled by her threat as he responded with two words and a period.
‘Don’t care.’
Moira secretly clenched her jaws, but after pondering for a moment, she had to admit that the
policemen would not have the time to attend to a missing case of a little girl – considering the mess and
aftermath of what had happened that night.
She heaved a sigh to calm herself before deciding to use her last resort.
‘If you don’t bring Heidi back to me, I’ll call my aunt immediately!’
This time, Jacob squinted his eyes as he stared at the reply on his screen.
