Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 40

What?

Just as everyone was thinking that Driscoll would get the ginseng that had been living for a thousand years and had its own soul, someone made another increment.

They simultaneously shifted their gazes on the source of the voice as they were all curious about which big shot would dare to compete with Driscoll regardless of his family background and identity. What’s more, this person was really rich!

But when they saw who that person was, they were so shocked that they almost vomited blood.

How came… How came that it was that brat in the corner again!

He was still wet behind the ears!

The audiences were all ready for the show why gloating at Jacob in heart.

Hey man, you can just sit in a corner. Do you have enough money to pay for it?

Can you afford the consequences of offending Driscoll, the young master of the Black Dragon Gang?

Nevertheless, the auctioneer was quite happy as he was quite delighted to see the increments in the bidding price.

As for the matter of whether if this brat could not afford it and would refuse to pay for it after the auction…

Alas. Such kind of thing wouldn’t happen in the Divine Land Auction House.

“Good. Man, you have your guts!” Driscoll turned around and shot a glance at Jacob, thinking to himself.

But they were in the Divine Land Auction House after all and Driscoll didn’t dare to violate the regulations to threat Jacob in public. He could just shoot him a murderous look!

But Jacob simply ignored it.

“Seventy million.”

Driscoll grit his teeth and made an increment of ten million.

‘It’s just the matter of money. Let see which peer in the South Riverside Province can compare with me in this term!’ Driscoll thought to himself.

Other bidders were all shocked by the price and then sighed in heart, ‘God Damn it! Young Master Driscoll is really rich!”

Or more exactly, Driscoll really could allocate a huge amount of money!

The clans of the nobilities present were also rich. However, with their identity and status in the family, they were not eligible to allocate such a huge amount of money.

Not to mention them, even if they were the patriarchs of the family, they could not spend seventy million at will.

“Seventy-one million.”

Jacob cried the price again.

The hall was obviously overwhelmed by silence again as if even the sound of needle dropping onto the ground also be heard clearly.

Undoubtedly, this man was targeting at Driscoll!

Who was this man?

You were just a man from an insignificant and powerless family who could only sit in a corner, how dared you to offend Driscoll!

We really admired you!

There were traces of complicate emotions in the eyes of those bidders as they glanced at Jacob.

There were admiration, sympathy, pity and gloat.

“Eighty million!”

Driscoll was quite determined to win this ginseng as his grandfather was wounded. That was the reason why he intended to bid this ginseng that had been living for a thousand years to please him.

As for the young man who was sitting in the corner, Driscoll had sentenced him to death in his heart.

‘Oh man, you want this? Then I will give it to you.’

‘But I’m afraid that you may not be able to afford the price.”

He would get it back after the auction.

‘You are just a man from a humble family, how dare you to snatch things from me? Then I will teach you a lesson about the consequences of offending me, Driscoll Donald!”

“Eighty-one million!”

This time, everyone managed to remain composed after hearing the price.

This was no longer the matter about money and the value of the item.

They just wanted to see how that arrogant brat would die a miserable death.

“Ninety million!”

Driscoll cried out the price almost with his teeth gritted.

He didn’t intend to make any increment anymore this time. Just let that guy be a sucker.

Nevertheless, this time, the young man who was sitting at the corner, didn’t chime in.

“Ninety million, going once!”

“Ninety million, going twice!”

“Ninety million, sold!”

The auctioneer was ravished with joy. Even if out of his high professional quality, he managed to conceal his emotions, one could easily discern his excitement through his voice.

Driscoll finally realized what had happened when he heard the word ‘sold’. Why didn’t that brat make an increment again?

He originally planned to quit after that brat made an increment.

He instantly understood that that brat had got him into a fix.

“Ahhhh!” Driscoll was irritated and screamed in his heart.

He originally planned to buy the item at sixty million, but as a result, he had to buy it at a price which was one third higher.

Even if he had a lot of money, it would not that easy to allocate nearly one hundred million.

The key of the matter was that he was fooled by this man like a monkey. What a shame!

Driscoll turned around. With a murderous look, he landed his gaze onto Jacob.

Seeing Driscoll expression, everyone got excited and thought there would be a good show.

Nevertheless, Jacob simply peeked at him with a cold sneer.

It was fine if Driscoll would compete with him in accordance with the rules from the very beginning. But since Driscoll had threatened him, he would definitely plot him.

…

“Master, it’s all my fault. I haven’t prepared enough money.”

They walked out of the auction. Grizzly Bear blamed himself with a guilty look. He was also worried that Jacob would hold him responsible for it.

He had witnessed how Jacob punished those people after all.

He shivered all over with only one thought of it.

He hadn’t expected that the ginseng would have a closing price of ninety million.

“It’s okay. I won’t blame you for this. No one has expected that the ginseng would have such a high closing price. In addition, if I hadn’t bid for that item before and spent ten million on it, the money you’ve prepared was enough.”

Jacob was quite satisfied with Grizzly Bear’s performance during their journey to the South Riverside Province.

It was really incredible that he could raise one hundred million in such a short time.

Grizzly Bear immediately agreed with a nodding.

The ginseng that had been living for a thousand year was an important medicine for his matriarch, Kaley. There should not be any mistake since it was a life-and-death matter.

Even if that brat was from a royal family, he would have to give them the ginseng.

“There’s no need to snatch it from him. He’ll go find us. Find a place and wait for him.”

Jacob said in a flat voice and then headed towards a depopulated place.

Grizzly Bear and Tekken immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly followed behind him.

As expected, after a short while, the one who had won the bidding of the ginseng appeared.

A trace of excitement flashed across Grizzly Bear and Tekken’s eyes.

Seeing that the little brat who had fooled him had found a tranquil place initiatively, Driscoll was overjoyed in his heart. When he asked one of his men to summon other gang members before, he was worrying that this brat would escape for fear of having offended him.

If that was the case, he had to spend some time to investigate his whereabouts.

This was just good. It felt so good to have a timely revenge.

Driscoll appeared with nearly one hundred men in white shirts and black suit pants. They immediately surrounded Jacob, Grizzly Bear and Tekken in a circle.

“Brat, you’re really arrogant. How dare you to snatch the thing I want!”

Driscoll said with a gloomy face. Nevertheless, for the sake of his face, he didn’t mention that he was fooled by Jacob later.

Those bidders, who hadn’t left after the ending of the auction and had been following Driscoll for a good show, said secretly in their heart, ‘Here finally comes the good show. It’s worthy even if I have been waiting here for a while.’

“Who is Driscoll Donald? I haven’t heard of this name.”

“For those who I don’t know, I would regard them as a pig.”

Tekken chimed in with Grizzly Bear.

Nevertheless, the smiles on their faces became more and more ferocious.

Hearing the words, Driscoll’s expression became even more hideous, “Good. Very good. I originally planned to take one of your arms as a punishment. Now I think I should cut your all fours!”

“Great Bod, cut down their arms and legs.” Driscoll shouted.

As the words were finished, a man who was as strong-built as Grizzly Bear and Tekken, walked out of the crowd.

Those onlookers felt nervous when they saw the sturdy man and mourned silently for the three people.

Driscoll Donald was the eldest young master of Black Dragon Gang, the biggest underground gang of the South Riverside Province.

And Great Bod was one of the four custodians of the Black Dragon Gang. Everyone in the Riverside City knew that Great Bod was mighty and cruel.

He was famous for having fighting countless battles for the Black Dragon Gang and eliminated numerous insurgent underground gangs.

“How dare you to offend Driscoll, the most favored grandson of my boss! I think you guys must been tired of living in the world!”

Great Bod was really strong-built, just as what his nickname had suggested.

He got muscles all over and it seemed every part of his body was very mighty, which gave a sense of infinite pressure to others.

“Noisy!”

Jacob said in a flat voice.”

“You’re courting death!”

Great Bod instantly rushed towards Jacob. Judging from his figure, one might think that he would have difficulty in moving. But as a matter of fact, he was swifter than most of people.

Just as Grizzly Bear and Tekken was about to rush over, they were stopped by Jacob’s arm.

“Kaley is still waiting at home. I’m in a hurry today!”

After finishing the words, Jacob reached out his right hand and crooked three of his fingers, leaving his index finger and middle finger forming a sword shape.

Then an invisible sword dashed towards that robust and agile Great Bod.

All of a sudden, that invisible sword crackled through the air and a grey sword gust appeared and shot towards Great Bod quickly.
