Cursed Immortality-Novel

Despite his displeasure, Warren didn't rebuke and pull a smile and said, "I learn you joined when I was out of town, which was quite unfortunate. However, Vice Leader Ralf invited you for a visit but you never came. So, I came personally to satisfy my curiosity."

Jacob impassively replied, "Are you satisfied now?"

Ralf's expression turned unkind at this moment as he sternly said, "Kid, don't push your luck anymore. We are here with good inten…"

Before he could finish his word, a blur flashed before Ralf's eyes, and the next moment he suddenly felt the powerful claw on his mouth which was clenching his entire jaw, almost to the point of breaking it.

Ralf tried to struggle but no matter what he couldn't get free from Jacob's claw on his mouth, fear creeped out in his eyes.

'Moooo…'

Warren's heart palpitated as he looked at Jacob, who had a cold smirk on his face while he held Ralf like he was a helpless rabbit. He didn't even see when Jacob moved and he finally understood they were barking up the wrong tree this time.

Truth be told, these two were like gangsters of this town, they collect monthly free from every mercenary who stayed in the rain town and the lord's mansion.

They both used their positions to take advantage of the powerless since they knew as long as they won't offend anyone with a higher status, they won't get in trouble.

The agency would protect them from minor charters like the Town Lord as long as won't go too far.

Even Jonty had to pay them if he wanted to stay here!

They have been doing this for years now, and never suffer any backlash… well, until today.

When they found out Austin has met with Jacob, they thought he was moving away from here and wanted to test the water.

If it was true, they won't interfere or show their true colors, but if it was just their speculation, then they would demand the monthly fee from him.

However, they never thought Jacob was strong to the point that he could make Ralf immobilized like a chicken.

Now, Warren perspired as he looked at Ralf, who was struggling while glancing at him with his bloodshot eyes, asking for help.

Jacob coolly looked at Warren and coldly uttered, "Listen carefully. I'm saying it one last time if you two eyesores appeared anywhere near my sight. I'll skin you alive right in the middle of the town. Is that clear?"

Warren couldn't help but took a step back as his back was filled with cold sweat and eyes with fear.

He replied in a hoarse voice, "I-I… We understand!"

Jacob nodded in satisfaction, as he waved his other hand and toss Ralf like a rag doll.

Warren's eyes nearly popped up from their place when he saw Raft was literally flying out of the fence!

Warren suddenly felt like slapping Ralf silly since he didn't even recognize this monster in human skin and nearly bring them to the death door!

Jacob looked at Warren, which made him flattered, "Fuck off and announce this as well. If anyone had some business with me, they can send written letters. If they dare to knock on my door and disturb me anymore…" He smiled viciously, "Heh, I'll find you."

Warren hurriedly nodded before he fled without caring about Ralf, who lay in the middle of the road, listlessly.

Jacob closed the door again and shake his head in frustration. 'This should put an end to those scheming idiots' visits.'

Afterward, no more visitors appeared, which made Jacob content mentally, yet he was restless physically because of that creeping hunger. He had already eaten everything in the house, but he just couldn't get satisfied.

This made him even more eager to start this hunting season because he could get uncommon animals' meat in the wild, which was far more nutritious than these common animals.

Even if he failed in finding the tiger bull, he can still slowly quench that hunger with uncommon animals out there.

When the first ray of light shone on the rain town, Jacob exited his house and directly head toward the smithery.

Isaac was waiting for Jacob when he appeared and handed him two sheathed, curved, short swords.

Jacob grab those dark hilts and draw those fourteen inches swords, and thin dark blades appeared giving of cold dark sheen.

He looked at Isaac and nodded. "Thanks, they should be enough for now."

Isaac smiled in satisfaction. "Those short swords should be able to cut rocks like butter, without leaving a scratch on the blades. I should be the one thanking you for giving me the chance to work with titian iron."

Jacob replied as he attached those scabbards to his belt. "I might be gone for a while now if I didn't find what I'm looking for, so keep my things safe."

Isaac nodded and assured, "Don't worry, I had a safe place."

Jacob merely nod and left.

He headed straight toward the town gate and left toward the direction where the tiger bull left some trails when it ran away.

Jacob was pretty sure that bull wasn't something that will remain low-key, especially not in this place where it was the strongest.

Most importantly, Jacob didn't want someone else to spot it and alert some annoying people, or worst, that hidden force might've already been looking for it after they found out about the incident with the tiger bull delivery.

It was pretty easy to guess since the tiger bull was supposed to be appeared in the lionheart city by now, but it doesn't so someone might investigate the reason behind it.

Nevertheless, if they came in his way to get that bull, they will be courting death!

On the eastern part of Rainy Mountain Ranges,

A man with deep wounds on his face and chest was running madly toward the exit of the valley with an aghast face.

His mind was filled with deep dismay, and fear as he ran.

'How could such a creature have appeared in this region? My entire crew was wiped out and if I hadn't escaped in time, I would've been like them as well. Only B-rank mercenaries might deal with it. But that might be too late since it's heading toward the humane kingdom. I have to hurry!'
