Fernando could not help but shudder with fear after seeing how intimidating Jacob and his men were.
He nearly cried from terror, but he forced himself to gather his wits and declare firmly, “I will never lie to
you.”
Twenty minutes later, at an urban park two blocks away from the Pavillion, Fernando pressed his
earpiece and said solemnly, “The Cruor Sect follower is in there.”
“How brave of her? She dares to hide right under our noses!” Jerry’s expression darkened.
“All of you stay here and keep watch. I will go in alone!” Jacob instructed before heading in.
Jerry warned, “Boss, that bastard is very cunning.”
Jacob waved his hands but did not stop walking.
Perhaps due to the time, this park which covered an area of ten acres was unusually quiet and empty
despite being in the city center.
A cool breeze blew, and one could see colorful birds fluttering by.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacob walked on the stone path. His eyes were alert as he walked, taking in the surroundings.
Suddenly, he noticed something.
Jacob burst into action and dashed through the woods, locking his sight on the human figure by the
lake in the center of the park.
It was a young woman in a red dress. She had a pretty face and smooth skin.
The lake water rippled before her as countless red and white carps devoured the fish feed scattered
into the water.
Jacob flew across the lake and snapped his fingers expressionlessly, sending a ball of invisible energy
speeding across the lake with a booming noise.
Immediately after that, a ‘pop’ sounded, and a bloody hole the size of a fingertip appeared on the
woman’s smooth forehead.
Then, the bag of fish feed fell from her hands into the water, causing the numerous carps to fight in a
frenzy for food.
They splashed water everywhere as Jacob landed as light as a feather by the lake.
Then, Jacob looked at the woman lying dead on the ground and glanced at the surroundings. The
surrounding greeneries seemed still and peaceful.
“No wonder Jerry and Gerald work together and still couldn’t catch you…” Jacob’s expression was
cold, and his eyes gleamed threateningly.
In the next second, he gripped his fists, causing the fighting spirit to surge from his body.
“Get out here right now!” Jacob yelled and shot a ball of highly concentrated energy the size of a tennis
ball straight into the center of the lake.
Within a faction of a second, the ball of energy detonated like a bomb, sending huge water columns
seven to eight meters high into the air.
As the water splashed everywhere, a petite figure floated from the bottom of the lake, light as a cloud of
smoke.
Jacob extended his right hand and captured a few water droplets in midair. With a flick of his wrist, he

“Hmph, how heartless of you!”
An indignant female voice sounded as the petite figure dodged the water droplets traveling at her like
bullets.
Jacob remained expressionless as he raised a mass of lake water with a wave of his hand. Then, he
caused countless water droplets to shoot toward the figure, creating sharp noises.
Ultimately, humans are not birds and cannot remain in the air for a long time. Furthermore, there were
numerous crystal-like water droplets all around the petite figure, blocking all her way of escape.
In the next second, one could hear a pitiful gasp of pain. Then, droplets of blood fell onto the lake’s
surface.
Meanwhile, Jacob stood by the lake, surrounded by immense energy. He stomped his right foot and
caused a gale to shoot like an arrow toward the petite figure.
