Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 52

“What the hell is wrong with you? Didn’t you tell me that you’ve checked the van? But what’s wrong with it now?”

Panther landed a slap on the driver’s face.

In response, the driver continued to reply in a trembling voice, “Pan… Panther, there’s nothing wrong with the van.”

“Then are you meaning to say that the van itself is fine, but somehow that person standing in front of our van is able to stop the van from moving?” Panther almost wanted to follow up his slap with another.

The driver couldn’t stop nodding as his answer.

“Why the hell are you nodding in response?” Panther couldn’t control his rage again as he slapped the driver on his head.

The driver turned around to look at Panther with a terrified and wronged expression. He swallowed hard and managed to add, “Panther, I’m telling you the truth. You can see for yourself, the part of the bonnet where he’s pressing on has become distorted. There’s a huge depression underneath his hand!”

After listening to the driver’s explanation, Panther decided to verify his claims. True enough, when saw that what the driver had said was true, his pupils shrank.

However, how could someone be able to stop the car from lurching forward with just his one hand? How could this be possible?

“Go down and shove him aside now.”

Panther immediately dished out an order to two other men in their van.

The two men immediately went into action as they slid open the van door and jumped out of the van.

“Kid, you better get lost now, or else you will be crippled!”

The two of them headed to in front of the van and saw a thin looking youngster there. They immediately threatened him.

At first glance, these two were thinking that the driver was just exaggerating earlier on. If such a weak-looking person could pin down a car and inhibit its movement, then they could probably stop a train or a plane single-handedly.

However, the youngster looked like he hadn’t heard their words at all.

“Damn it, are you deaf? Get out of our way!” One of the men cursed loudly and launched a punch at Jacob.

These moves were their usual moves when they got into a brawl.

However, to their surprise, this gangster found that he couldn’t move his hand anymore after launching that punch.

To his surprise, his hand was caught easily by this feeble youngster with a thin figure.

There was a hint of astonishment in this gangster’s eyes. After that, a cruel smile formed at his lips.

He was going to decapitate this youngster here and now since he dared to grab his fist!

A grotesque smile flashed across the gangster’s face and then wanted to exert some strength through his fist.

In the next second when he wanted to lash out with force, instead he felt a torrent of power rippling through the air in his direction.

“Ah!” The gangster let out a shriek.

His scream was accompanied by a crackling sound that sounded like broken bones.

To his dismay, his fist which was directed at Jacob was crushed!

He could see that his hand was no longer a normal shape, as the bones underneath his skin were obviously in tatters. His hand was crushed beyond saving.

The other gangster saw that something was going wrong, so he immediately wanted to help his partner.

The next second, when he was rushing towards Jacob, he suddenly felt a huge impact landing on his chest, and his chest was caved in for some reason. All his ribs were crushed in an instant.

“Ah!”

Another scream pierced through the air in front of the van.

This commotion had attracted some passers-by and they were now giving their attention on the turn of events here.

Despite that, since the sky was turning dark and night was incoming, nobody wanted to involve themselves with any unnecessary troubles. Although there were people screaming painfully, the passers-by didn’t form a crowd near the source of the commotion. Instead, they chose to speed up their pace and scurried off.

At the same time, Panther who was seated inside the van had completely seen what had transpired.

A glint of shock filled his eyes.

He wouldn’t be sure whether that young man had stopped their van from moving with his hand, but he could see clearly that this person was not an ordinary man. He seemed to have good combat skills too, as he was able to finish off his two underlings with just one move.

However, he was not nervous as this was something he himself would be able to do.

Whoever dared to stand against him was courting death.

Panther swiftly led the other remaining gangster out of the van to confront Jacob.

Since they were in the middle of a kidnapping, it was not beneficial for them in the slightest to stay any longer in this spot.

“Kid, how dare you hurt my men? Do you know who are we?”

As a middle-level personnel belonging to the “Buddy League” that dominated the underground scene of Riverside City, Panther had the ability to ward off ten opponents by himself.

“I don’t know who you guys are, and I don’t need to know anyway. In my eyes, you guys are as good as dead!”

The young man with a slender figure spoke these words with bloodlust.

“Kid, it seems that you are even more reckless than me. I think you should die now!”

Panther showed a faint smile, and then he sprang towards Jacob. In mid-air, he careened towards Jacob with his fist extended, aiming at Jacob’s skull. He wanted to finish this ordeal with one move.

Panther was indeed the leader of these gangsters here. His capability exceeded those previous gangsters’ ability by a wide margin.

His speed was blinding.
