Particularly Woodrow, he remembered that Jacob smacked on his seat before he stood up.
Could it be he who caused it? But, how could that be?
Woodrow could break the table and chairs into pieces if he used all his strength.
But it looked like Jacob could use his internal strength to pulverize the chair into dust. What was more amazing was that the chair remained perfect in its form and one could not tell that it was damaged. If it was not for a breeze that blew in just now…
When he thought of this, Woodrow became horrified. Even Master Wilbert was unable to do that to that degree!
“Did he just sit on that seat?” Even Wilbert as a Virtuoso-to-be was shocked. He could shatter a chair without any problems, including pulverizing it into dust. But what he couldn’t do was to let it maintain its original form!
“Looked like our Derek family had lost a huge opportunity!” Wilbert said.
“Master Wilbert, I…” Woodrow was terrified.
Wilbert looked at him but could he blame Woodrow? He couldn’t blame him because even had it been other members of the Derek family, when a wealthy person of Riverside City visited them, they would also not receive him with a pleasant attitude because their statuses were very different.
This was due to the family pride accumulated over the centuries! Had Jacob known what Wilbert thought, he would have given him a good scolding. This was not pride but stupidity!
“Losing the chance was better than offending him!” Wilbert sighed.
Furthermore, he was a twenty something young man. Even if Wilbert had judged that he wasn’t a Virtuoso, he could conclude that Jacob was stronger than him. At this point, his self-confidence was shaken.
But he instructed, “Send someone to look for Jacob. Once there is any news of him, immediately invite him over as a guest!”
…
Jacob sighed after he left the Derek residence.
Although the Derek family lost a great opportunity, similarly, he also couldn’t conduct the Mana Collecting Matrix in the Derek family’s territory.
Do it forcefully? There was no need to.
Jacob had his pride as the Emperor of the Dark Realm.
If anyone dared to offend him and disrespect him, he would retaliate tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this reputation in the entire universe.
Similarly, if others didn’t antagonize him or go against him, then Jacob would not intentionally bully anyone.
Although to Jacob, the Derek families were foolish, at least they did not antagonize him. He will also not decimate the Derek family just to hold the Mana Collecting Matrix. It wasn’t like him to snatch someone’s territory!
Let alone, apart from the Derek family, there was also the Shaw family.
Jacob went home after leaving the Derek family. Thereafter, he instructed someone to send an invitation card to the Shaw family.
It wasn’t an invitation but was a challenge!
When the Shaw family received the challenge, they immediately became furious. When did these wealthy families from Riverside have the right to challenge them? Even if the Shaw family now was weakened internally by domestic issues and their power was unlike before, they could not be challenged by any insignificant parties.
“Accept the challenge. Let it be a one-way trip for him. Let those families from Riverside see that the Shaw family is strong and not one they can provoke!” Someone in the Shaw family yelled angrily.
Hence, Jacob received a reply on the day the invitation was sent. The challenge was to be conducted in three days’ time.
Something else happened within these three days.
