What?
IOU?
Robby was stunned.
"Three Scarlet Flame Fruits, three Lapis Flowers..."
Dozens of the Earth's treasures were mentioned before Jacob stopped reading out.
Robby and Rogelio could feel cold sweat on their forehead.
Even Robby, as a direct descendant of the secluded families in China, had never heard of some of those ingredients.
Even those that he knew were very valuable. Some of them were seen as the most prized treasures of the Lewin family.
He could not afford them even if he was a direct descendant of the Lewin family. Even his genius brother who was highly regarded by their family couldn't afford them.
However, that was why Robby heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "No problem!"
It was just an IOU.
They wouldn't give Jacob an ordinary treasure.
Not to mention these priceless ones.
But now, survival came first.
If Jacob dared to come to collect the bill in the future, he would bring about his destruction.
Once they left this place, Robby would get back at Jacob.
Robby took the deal and was looking for a pen and paper to write down the IOU.
Jacob shook his head, "No need."
Jacob stretched out his right hand. His fingers traced lines of words in the air.
It was precisely the names and quantities of the ingredients Jacob had just mentioned.
After he finished writing, Jacob flicked his finger again. Immediately, these words seemed to have turned into runes, emitting a demonic and bloodthirsty light.
It was horrifying.
"Come here, put one drop of blood on this!"
Jacob said to Robby.
Robby got so scared when he looked at the shimmering words that appeared in the air.
Robby had never seen anything like Jacob had made just now. However, even he was a loser among the direct descendant of Crystal Valley, he was very knowledgeable.
Robby had a fleeting memory of the words "Soul Contract".
It was rumored that once a Soul Contract was signed, any violations would result in excruciating pain. In the end, the violator would be dead.
How could Jacob learn this?
Wasn't the Granger family of the Shaman Community the only one in the world studying these things?
Robby thought that it would be an ordinary note, but he didn't expect Jacob to sign the IOU in this way.
Robby was shocked.
Bitterly he regretted his decision.
He went for wool and came back shorn. He wanted to rob Jacob, but now he was the one in trouble.
It was all Rogelio's fault. He couldn't even defeat Jacob. Robby blamed it on Rogelio.
Whoosh!
Another bloody hole appeared on Robby's shoulder.
Then there came a miserable scream.
Robby shrieked, grimacing in pain.
"If you dare to hesitate any longer, I'll break one of your arms!"
Jacob said coldly.
Robby did not dare to hesitate any longer. He immediately walked forward, gritted his teeth, and put a drop of blood to sign this unequal debt note with tears in his eyes.
The moment he signed the IOU, Robby felt that something was different in his body.
It was as if his soul was shackled.
His grief seemed to be beyond tears.
He could only hope that Jacob was so young that he had not quite mastered the thing and the Grangers would be able to undo the curse.
Otherwise, he would be dead!
After forcing Robby to sign the IOU, Jacob walked home with Kaley.
'Secluded families... Hope they wouldn't disappoint me.' Jacob thought.
Jacob once again turned to secluded families, hoping to forcefully change Kaley's physique.
...
...
The battle between Jacob and Miyamoto Takeshi caused a stir in the Martial World of China.
According to an unnamed master, Miyamoto could make it to Top 20 in the Ranking.
However, he was unable to even receive a single sword strike from Jacob. It once again confirmed Jacob's power.
The video of Jacob slashing Miyamoto Takeshi spread throughout the Martial World. The masters of different schools began to study Jacob's sword.
In the mundane world, the video of Miyamoto begging for mercy was all over the Internet.
For a time, in the world of ordinary people and the Martial World, Jacob was right famous.
Miyamoto gritted his teeth in hatred when he saw the videos.
