Cursed Immortality

Jacob's eyes contracted after reading this and couldn't help but question, "Explain!"

The writing changed, "Hehehehe, impenitent, aren't we? I already said, you 'might' not 'will' so it still isn't clear. But I can tell that your mutated heart might bring you some benefits like a supernatural ability on this level, but as I said, it all depends on your luck."

Jacob's eyes instantly shone with elation, since it was nothing but good news. However, it wasn't clear and Immortika also didn't explain clearly, and he knew asking it was meaningless.

He yearned for a supernatural ability like in the fantasies.

Although he knew he might get such an ability eventually as long as he cultivated this book on a high enough level, hearing it still made him elated and filled his heart with anticipation.

But he quickly calmed down since he knew riling up won't do anything and sneered disdainfully, "You only told me this because you felt bored again and wanted to motivate me into leaving again for your entertainment, I'm I right?"

"Hahaha… I can't answer your question… hahaha…"

Jacob shook his head helplessly since he could tell by that laugh he was right and closed that pesky book. Nonetheless, he was still optimistic and headed toward the bath to clean himself first.

Jacob appeared again with long hair and a clean face. His body had become even more devilish after two more injections, and he felt enormous strength in his muscles.

After wearing a black shirt and pants, he ate five pounds of meat before he headed to his bedroom.

There was a paper on a small table he took and saw the detail.

"C Rank Mercenary Mission,

"Danger Level: C

"Collect (Uncommon) Flora Spider's venom glands.

"Reward: 5 Gold Coins for each Flora Spider Venom Gland."

On the other half of the paper was a picture of a leaf-like spider and its information.

It looked just like a wither leaf, and that was why it was extremely difficult to find. Its poison was also deadly, and it could kill any normal human within five minutes after its bite.

That was why this mission was for Rank C mercenaries, and the reward was also lucrative. And this mission has no limit on how many venom glands you could hunt, and the agency will buy as many as you had.

This was the exact mission Jacob wanted, and this spider existed in the deep southern parts of rainy mountain ranges, where he could hunt for heart essence as well.

But this time he was going to carry over two metal boxes for heart and blood, and he was fully prepared.

He waited for the night before he left the house without being spotted, and he was heading straight toward the southern rainy mountain ranges for hunting!

In the central area of Rain Town,

There was a two-story house with a beautiful exterior.

Inside the house, five men and two women were sitting around a square table, looking at the burly man with a mole above his left eyebrow.

This man's name was Jonty, and he was the famous C rank mercenary of rain town and quite active. The other seven were his teammates and the members of the famous Golden Claw Mercenary Team, and all of them were D Rank mercenaries.

Jonty had a mild smile on his square face as he said, "Did you find the new C Rank yet?"

In reply, a man with a long black beard spoke, he was the vice leader of the golden claw team, Corbin, "No, he's still not returned to the town after he left for the mission and the agency won't reveal the information about what kind of mission he took."

Jonty's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Is that so? Then forget it. I just want to invite this new guy for the wolf king hunt to see his strength. But he's too inconspicuous, and if we wait anymore, those two annoying fellows might join the fray of the wolf king."

Corbin nodded. "Yes, the Agency Leader is still absent and Ralf won't move without him, so we're clear for now to hunt."

Another tall man spoke with a frown. His name was Ton. "But aren't we going too lightly? We're talking about a wolf king of rare rank; which strength is only below B Rank. I'm concerned!"

No one refuted Ton, since he was telling the truth, and they all looked at Jonty for his reply. Even the shrewd and obedient vice leader, Corbin, was expecting an answer.

Jonty smiled confidently at this moment as he said, "I know your concern is valid, and it looks like I'm underestimating this wolf king.

"But I have already talked with the leaders of Sharp Sword Mercenary Team, and Purple Mercenary Team and they agree to lend us their assistance in this mission by giving them 20% of the materials we'll get from the wolf king's carcass."

Corbin frowned. "I don't think they're enough. According to the information, there are many dark wolves around the dark wolf ridge, so the more people we have, the better."

Jonty pull a wintry smile, "Hehe, I have already taken care of it, I have announced that anyone who wanted to join our wolf king hunting party they are welcome and there'll be more than enough cannon folds to distract those minions."

Tan couldn't help but smile coldly and praise, "As expected of Leader, now we don't have to worry about meat shields, and we can also use them to weaken the wolf king before killing it. We'll be famous!"

Jonty smiled in satisfaction and looked at the petite woman with black hair and asked, "Nala, do you test the new recruit? I heard she's a thorny rose. Is she clean?"

Nala answered with a hint of unhappiness, "She's quite something. Not only she's extremely overbearing, she even beat me and arrogantly said she'll change team leader next time. But she didn't have any hidden identity, and she'll be an excellent addition to our team. I'm only waiting for your confirmation."

Jonty smiled, hearing this, but there was a hint of desire in his eyes. "Let her join this mission, and I'll see what she's made of. What's her name, though?"

Nala replied, "Rosalia Lion!"
