Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 63

Three days later, Jacob went to the Shaw family as arranged. Jacob did not go alone this time. He brought along the Lecherous Demon Edwin Adolph and Grizzly Bear.

The Shaw family of Riverside was different than the other wealthy families. They are also different from the centuries-old Derek family. The Shaw family was located in a village at the outer edge of Riverside City. The name of the village was Shaw Village!

From afar, it was unthinkable that this was the place of a centuries-old family. But as one got closer, it could be seen in the Shaw village that the waters are clear, mountains are green, birds are chirping and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere. The air was fresh and looked like a paradise.

Jacob was stunned when he entered the Shaw village.

After he was reborn, he had been living in a bustling city. When he saw such a place, he practically felt carefree and relaxed. He could feel the rich spiritual power of the Shaw family but it was thinner than the Derek family’s territory. But it didn’t differ much and was more intense than other places in Riverside City.

Most importantly, Jacob liked the feel of the Shaw village.

“Identify yourself!” As Jacob approached the village entrance, a man looked sternly at Jacob and asked.

“Jacob of Riverside City!” Jacob replied.

At the same moment, Jacob sensed an ominous feeling.

“So it’s you.” The man looked at Jacob scornfully, “Now any Tom Dick or Harry also wants to challenge us. Come with me if you don’t fear death!”

“What did you say?” Grizzly Bear said when he heard that man disrespect Jacob and demanded, “I dare you to say that again!” Grizzly Bear was furious and was ready to erupt in violence with an ill-spoken word.

Now Grizzly Bear loved to fight after he mastered the Scripture of King Kong given to him by Jacob. He was always eager for a fight with Tekken and even with Lecherous Demon.

But, even after he mastered the Scripture of King Kong and his prowess had improved tremendously, he even was given the title “King-Kong Grizzly Bear”, his physical body had strengthened immensely but he was still no match for the Lecherous Demon.

But Grizzly Bear was never disheartened after losing to the Lecherous Demon Edwin. Each time he was beaten by Edwin, he would look for Tekken to fight and get back his self-confidence and train. Thereafter he would fight with Edwin again!

Jacob waved and signaled to Grizzly Bear to calm down.

At this moment, Jacob was not angry but instead smiled with interest.

“Then please lead the way,” Jacob said.

The man glared at Grizzly Bear and then back at Jacob with disdain. He said coldly, “Come with me.” He turned and walked towards the village.

Jacob followed him.

“Master, somehow I feel that something isn’t right. Could there be an ambush?” Lecherous Demon remained silent ever since they arrived and only spoke at this moment.

Jacob looked at him with approval and said, “Relax, even if there is an ambush, it is not against us.” Jacob said calmly.

The Shaw family was like the Derek family who was around for centuries and was regarded by many to be mysterious, almighty, and not to be provoked. But in Jacob’s eyes, they were easily decimated with the wave of a hand.

On the same note, even when Jacob was so powerful the Shaw family didn’t know Jacob’s capabilities and also thought that they could destroy him easily. They would not do anything to ambush him. Jacob was very clear about this.

When Edwin heard this, he stopped mentioning it. He was clear about Jacob’s powers and ruthlessness. As long as the Virtuoso didn’t unleash his powers, all will live to fight another day.

Jacob went with that man towards the village. Along the way, all the Shaw family members glared at them with hostility. Jacob grinned. It looked like he was here at the right time.

Soon, Jacob and the others came to a place that looked like a pugilistic center.

“Uncle, Jacob’s here!” The man announced respectfully to a forty plus year old man.

“To think that you really dared to come. You’re toying with your life!” The middle-aged man’s name was Tom Shaw and he was fourth in his generation. He turned to look at Jacob and the others with a killer glare.

“Who among you is Jacob?” Tom looked towards them and asked.

Jacob smiled and said, “I am!”

“You?” Tom was stunned. Lecherous Demon Edwin who was dressed in black looked the most imposing to him and could match his fighting abilities. But Jacob stood in the middle of the three and from a matter of position, his status should be the highest.

“I believe no one dared to impersonate me!” Jacob said calmly and it appeared in his tone like he despised all living creatures.

“Since you are Jacob, did you bring the Reinforcing Panacea as mentioned in the challenge?” Tom asked.

If it wasn’t for Jacob taking out three Reinforcing Panaceas as the wager, the Shaw family would never accept his challenge. As a centuries-old family, they would not entertain just anyone for a fight.

But it was Jacob’s challenge that made the Shaw family feel that it was the wealthy families of Riverside City who was trying to test the Shaw family at their time of crisis.

So, no matter who Jacob was, as long as he dared to come to the Shaw village, he would not walk out of that place. They wanted to send a message to Riverside City not to challenge the resolve of the Shaw family.

“Of course!” Jacob said and Lecherous Demon Edwin walked forward and took out a small jar from his pocket and threw it to Tom.

The Reinforcing Panaceas were priceless and he simply threw it over? Aren’t they worried that they’ll be confiscated? Even they as the Shaw family didn’t have many Reinforcing Panaceas. It was one of the most important resources.

Tom opened the bottle to verify and immediately a faint Panacea scent drifted into his nose.

Tom was stunned and then his breathing quickened.

He quickly poured out the contents of the bottle onto his palm and when he saw the color of the medicine, Tom’s eyeballs almost popped out.

Being a centuries-old Shaw family, the family once had a Virtuoso and hence they had plenty of information. The Shaw family also had a small amount of priceless medicine like the Reinforcing Panaceas. Being a talent of his generation, Tom used one Reinforcing Panaceas to firm up his foundation to cultivate his martial arts skills.

The Reinforcing Panacea that he used was of high quality. But the three Reinforcing Panaceas handed over by Jacob, Tom was able to determine that their quality was much higher than what he used.

They were definitely of the highest quality.

A medicine of such high quality was seldom seen in the pugilistic world and extremely rare. Even a centuries-old family like the Shaw family was never worthy of obtaining such high quality Reinforcing Panaceas. All these were controlled by the elite families of the Capital city.

How was Jacob of Riverside City able to get three of them and treated them as if they meant nothing?

At this moment, Tom’s attitude toward Jacob had a slight change. His breathing became very fast. The Shaw family definitely wanted these three Reinforcing Panaceas.

As long as the three Reinforcing Panaceas were there, the Shaw family could use three more highly skilled fighters and would be able to win the fight.

With these Reinforcing Panaceas, their chances of fighting a Virtuoso-to-be or a Virtuoso would improve a little.
