Even the Ghost members who came with him, Grayson and Storm, were secretly pondering upon seeing Jenson acting in such a way. 'Perhaps when this little devil grows up, he'll have an even more aweinspiring presence than Sir Ares? Will he be oozing with deterrence?'
"I know you don't welcome me, Grandpa Jacob. Because to you, I'm your worst nightmare,” said Jenson as he picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and drank it unceremoniously. His movements were extremely elegant.
Jacob was furious at Jenson's arrogance. After all, he was still his grandfather while Jenson was his grandson. The lad was two generations behind him, but for some reason, this boy gave him an extreme sense of coercion. He was able to make Jacob feel his blood go cold.

Jacob looked at Jenson in horror. He had been utterly unconvinced before and wondered why the grand old master gave up on so many experienced sons as well a s his youthful, wise, and farsighted grandsons to select this underaged great-grandson Jenson to be the head of Ares household.
