Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 38

In Riverside City, the Bell Family

At that moment, many of the key members of the Bell family were gathered for a family meeting.

“Is the investigation completed? What happened to the Hansen family last night?” The highest ranking member of the family, Lenard Bell, questioned solemnly.

Last night, the Hansen family attempted to assassinate Jacob, during which his wife Kaley Harris was shot, and we are uncertain if she is dead or alive. In the heat of the moment, Jacob retaliated by attacking back and currently, what had happened in the Hansen family and how it happened is unknown to us. Furthermore, Carlton Hansen, the patriarch of the Hansen family and the rest of them vanished overnight!”

“Right now, it’s a man call Abbott Hayes overseeing the Hansen family matters!”

Someone asked.

“Is Jacob so terrifying?”

“Although the Hansen family is not like our family, however they are still considered as one of the nobilities in Riverside City, and just like that, their key members are wiped out by him?”

The key members of the Bell family were all shaken as it was unbelievable.

Hearing this seemed so unreal.

“From the looks of it, yesterday Carlton asked for our assistance to eradicate Jacob. Rejecting him was the right decision!”

The Hansen family lineages are all dead. There was almost no difference to them from being completely eradicated.

The man sitting at the highest position, Lenard Bell, did not look pleased.

He then turned his gaze towards his daughter Lena Bell who was sitting aside.

If it were not for the insistence of Lena of gathering all their men to set a trap to capture Jacob, he was still very much in favour of the alliance with the Hansen family.

Although Lena was a young and was her daughter, for many things, they needed to consult and consider her advice.

There was no choice. Lena was Boyce Goldsmith’s fiancée, and to be able to merge their families, it all relied on her.

“Father, Jacob showed that he is capable of destroying the Hansen’s. Although we overestimated him as possible before, as of now, we still underestimated him!”

As Lena recalled that vivid night, when Jacob appeared in her room, a flash of brilliance lit up within her eyes.

Jacob was more capable than she had expected.

Well then, the previous plan needed some tweaking; if not, there was no guarantee whether if the previous plan will proceed accordingly as something unexpected might occur!

“Lena, what is your opinion on Jacob’s capabilities? It is more terrifying than expected. Should we avenge Galip or concede to his requests and give him the things he asked for?”

Lenard looked at Lena.

“He killed Galip; of course he will have to pay the price. Besides, the Bell family is not going to succumb to his demands, if that’s the case, where is the status of our family? If father permits, I can ask the Goldsmiths for assistance!” Lena concluded.

Inside her heart, she felt disappointed and cold.

Her father still did not trust her fully.

“Well said, Jacob dare to kill my Galip, he will pay with blood and understand that us Bell family is not to be trifled with!”

Lenard looked pleasingly towards Lena.

….

….

At the same time, the events that shook the upper-class of Riverside City triggered everyone’s curiosity about who the mysterious figure that eradicated the lineages of the Hansen family was.

The most discussed person, Jacob, was waiting in his home.

He was waiting in the wedding room that belonged to Jacob and Kaley.

But this wedding room was one that he had not live inside before. Since the day they married, it had become the personal room for Kaley.

At the same time Kaley was blissfully lying in her bed which was wrapped in light fragance.

It looked as if she was taking a beauty nap.

But her face was a bit pale!

“Silly girl, you can’t really be falling in love with me, right?”

Jacob said, while he sat next to the bed and looked at her.

As compared to his previous expression of nonchalance, his eyes were now filled with more compassion.

No one would have guessed that this Jacob was the same man who just mercilessly killed the Hansen family yesterday.

“Oh, I wanted to divorce to settle this karma, but such a thing happened due to circumstances, now I don’t think I can divorce!”

Jacob let out a weak smile.

Before Kaley passed out, she said these words; Jacob did not have the heart to reject her.

The emperor of the dark realm spoke and his words were law.

Since a promise was made, Jacob would see through to the end.

“Master, I have checked, tomorrow there is an auction for the nobilities in South Riverside Province, amongst them, is a thousand-year ginseng!”

After a moment, Grizzly bear suddenly appeared by the door respectfully.
