Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 53

Ternence’s pupils contracted considerably.

“Who are you?” He lifted his head and looked at the entrance.

His first thought was that this might be the work of other gangs who had found their way into their hideout.

However, he saw a slender young man emerged from behind that underling who was dressed in black.

“I am the one who will finish off you today!”

Jacob stared at Ternence as he slowly stated his intention.

“Are you Jacob?” Ternence got a good look of his visitor and froze slightly. He was able to recognize this person as Jacob.

A smile formed at Jacob’s lips, “You must be surprised that we are having a reunion here after all those years!”

A few years back, when Jacob learnt that Channing was just humiliating him for his own amusement, Jacob decided not to work under him anymore. His decision had angered Channing.

After that, Channing gathered a gang of misfits, and they had given Jacob a good beating as well as snatching away his money.

The leader of that gang of misfits was none other than Ternence, who was right in front of his eyes.

Ternence had used that opportunity and offered up the money he had procured from Jacob to the former leader as a way to pledge his loyalty.

“You surprise me. I didn’t think that you will offer yourself to us voluntarily! I was planning to let you stay alive for two more days while I enjoy playing with your woman and sending her to Channing so that he could vent his frustrations. I was planning to look for you after all that but I never thought that you would be so impatient and appear right here and now!”

There was a flash of ruthlessness on his face.

“The last thing you should do is to offend me again. You shouldn’t think of banding together with Channing, let alone targeting my woman! Today, I will make sure you pay back for your present and past mistakes.”

Jacob announced while taking slow steps towards Ternence.

“Then I shall see for myself whether you’re capable enough to do that!”

While Ternence replied him, he signalled a muscular hunk standing nearby him.

He wouldn’t sit in this leadership position if all he ever knew was brute force and maliciousness.

“Oh?” Jacob let out a cold laugh, “Then I shall make an exception today and let you have an understanding of my ability!”

“Just come at me with whatever moves you have right now. I will make sure you understand fully the reason of your demise.”

Jacob only stopped in his tracks when he was face to face with Ternence.

“Then, you should just drop dead now.”

After saying that, Ternence suddenly produced a gun and aimed it at Jacob. He pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Ternence was confident that there was no way Jacob would be able to dodge a bullet that was coming at him so unexpectedly.

Despite his belief, his hopes were dashed by reality hard. Jacob only needed to tilt his head to one side slightly to dodge the bullet.

How could he avoid getting shot at in such close proximity?

What presented in front of Ternence was absolutely baffling.

“How is that? Do you still want to try?” Jacob showed a faint smile, and there wasn’t even the slightest change in his emotion.”

“You…”

Ternence gaped at Jacob with disbelief in his eyes.

Was this Jacob the same as his former self, who could only get beaten up without even getting back at them for once?

This staggering change was as unrealistic as fiction.

The typical protagonist in a story would have disappeared for many years and then finally made a comeback after reaching a superior level. He would have begun his rise to power after training for many years.

On the other hand, Jacob had only stayed put in Riverside City and was known as a useless son-in-law. How could such transformation occur to him?

He had been active for many years, but this was the first time he had witnessed somebody dodging a bullet single-handedly.

Ternence thought that Jacob was lucky.

“Then, you should let me shoot one more time.” Ternence was fixing his deadly gaze on Jacob at that moment.

Immediately, he shot once more at Jacob.

This time, there were two gun shots sounding at the same time.

On one side, Ternence’s loyal servant, Serpent, was also holding a gun. Ever since he received Ternence’s signal, he had been waiting for the right moment.

This time, both Ternence and Serpent had a grin on their faces.

Serpent was even commenting, “It’s too bad that he is dying here. That way, he can’t go through the pain of seeing his woman getting toyed with by other men.”

They were confident that Jacob would meet his demise here.

However, the next second, they looked like they had seen a ghost.

Jacob was unperturbed as he was standing in the same spot without any damage to him. It seemed like… he had yet again dodged the bullets.

To top it off, he not only dodged Ternence’s bullet, he had also dodged Serpent’s ambush attack.

If his previous act was just predicated on luck, then what kind of explanation could suit this current situation?

Ternence was horrified to his core.
