Jacob and Lena headed for Mount G.
It was the first time Lena had come to attend a martial arts exchange conference, which was also a meeting of secluded families. Though it was between juniors, Lena was still a little excited.
As for Jacob, he appeared very calm, yet he was also quite excited inside.
During his stay in City R, he had already obtained a superb alchemy furnace before the exchange conference of secluded families began. That was a great surprise.
As a result, Jacob began to look forward to the exchange conference for juniors of secluded families.
Of course, Jacob wasn't expecting these juniors to bring out anything that would interest him a lot.
He had other plans.
And these plans were closely related to the secluded families.
This exchange conference would serve as the best opportunity.
In his way here, he had contacted Alan. And at this time, Alan was already at the spot of Mount G Exchange Conference.
As expected, Jacob saw Alan from afar upon arrival at the destination.
After seeing Jacob, he immediately walked over smilingly. "Mr. Reyes, I thought you weren't coming."
Jacob smiled, "How could I do that at Mr. Dale's invitation and with your token?"
"I heard that there will be some good stuff in this exchange conference, and Mr. Reyes might be interested," said Alan.
Then he noticed Lena, who was half a step behind Jacob. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Is this lady your wife?"
He asked immediately. At the same time, he was slightly surprised at Lena's appearance and air.
Alan already knew Jacob had a wife when he returned with Jacob from his trip to the Triangle Region.
Lena blushed at his words. Though she really wanted to acquiesce, she still explained, "I'm Lena Bell of the Bell family."
An awkward expression appeared on Alan's face. He knew that Jacob's wife was named Kaley Harris.
Jacob couldn't help but show a smile. He said, "Lena Bell is the current matriarch of the Bell family, one of the secluded families!"
"What?" Alan looked astonished at his words.
Wasn't Albert Bell, the Lightning Dragon the patriarch of the Bell family?
It was Albert's son, Dylan who was supposed to attend the conference.
However, he hadn't appeared yet.
Alan also knew that Jacob always meant what he said. He pinched himself fiercely and asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"
"Yes, indeed!" Jacob said. Lena also acquiesced and took out the conference token of the Bell family.
Only then did Alan finally confirm it.
The head of the Bell family, which was a secluded family, was actually a woman in the Virtuoso Phase.
He had never seen or heard of any head of any secluded family who was only a virtuoso.
Alan had multiple questions and doubts in his mind, but at this moment, he had to suppress the desire to ask them. Obviously, it belonged to the kind of secret that he should never ask about.
However, if Lena was really the matriarch of the Bell family, then something must have happened in the family.
And this definitely had something to do with Jacob.
Alan thought to himself.
"Mr. Dale, these are the panaceas I borrowed from you last time. Take a look!"
As he spoke, Jacob took out the panaceas and some medicinal herbs he had prepared to return to Alan.
It was twice what Alan had given him at that time.
Emperor of the Dark Realm was indeed a man of his word.
Alan didn't decline and received all of them.
"Let's go in. There are already a lot of people here."
Alan said after saving the elixirs and herbs.
Jacob nodded, and the three of them headed for the conference hall.
The Mount G Exchange Conference was held by the Stone family, another secluded families.
It was on the top of the back of Mount G.
That area was not open to the public.
On the top of the mountain stood a two-story antique pavilion.
On its roof were carved and painted patterns like dragons and phoenixes.
Nobody knew since when it had existed.
Jacob arrived and saw two women in cheongsam. They were outside the pavilion to welcome the guests.
Despite their work, they were both Would-be virtuosos.
Anyone with such strength could easily dominate the outside world.
"Good morning, sir. Please show me your conference token!"
Seeing Jacob and the other two, one of the women greeted them politely. She was tall, plump and good-looking.
Jacob took out a token and handed it to her.
However, what Jacob took out was not the token Alan had given him earlier. Alan's token was inscribed with the word Dale.
It was the Bell family's token.
When the woman saw both Jacob and Lena take out the Bell family's token, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was well concealed. Then, she made a gesture to invite them in.
Immediately, Jacob and Lena walked into the pavilion.
Alan also followed.
He introduced the situation in the pavilion to them.
Since it was an exchange conference between secluded families, the seats here were divided according to the families.
Coincidentally, the seats of the Dale family were near those of the Bell family.
