CURSED IMMORTALITY - Season 2 Episode 27

“Kneel!”

The moment this one worded sounded, the eight C-Rank mercenaries’ hearts palpitated as their expression went appalled. Because they felt death from the bottom of their hearts from the silver hair man standing before them.

Every sliver of their being was screaming in their head to do what they were told, or they will die horribly!

‘Thud…’

The weapons in their trembling hands fell before their legs turned to jelly, and they fell on the floor, supporting themselves with their hands while their heads were down and their pale faces were filled with hazardousness.

Harrison’s eyes were as wide as they could get as he looked at this scene as if he was seeing a living dream. He didn’t feel anything, but he could tell Jacob had used something to have made them kneel without putting any resistance.

His entire view of Jacob upturned at this moment, and fear crept into his heart with reverence.

Jacob coolly stated, “Now, I’m going to rest in my room. You guys can live here, just don’t disturb me. Harrison, prepare my meal and deliver it to my room.”

“Y-yes.” Harrison quickly bowed with his back filled with perspiration. He didn’t dare to voice out any of his opinions anymore.

Jacob nodded before he left toward the master bedroom without caring about those eight mercenaries, trembling as if they were in the middle of an icy lake.

He merely showed his killing intent and a part of his strength, and they were all scared shitless.

Even a Common Tier-12 Orc was scared away by him, much less these common tier-3 humans.

Jacob knew the fastest way to subdue them was to show his might, and it worked like a charm. As a human, he knew very well how a mind of a human in power worked, and they won’t simply back off unless they knew the opposite party was far superior to them. Unless they were simpletons seeking their death!

After Jacob left, the eight of them felt like the looming death was left with him like a breeze.

The woman with a fiery temper had an aghast expression. She looked at the space where Jacob just stood in befuddlement and mumbled hoarsely, “W-what just… happened exactly?!”

It was a very fresh experience for them. Even their boss can’t do what just Jacob does, and they can tell he didn’t use any kind of poison, either.

What just they felt and still lingering in their hearts was nothing but pure fear!

The other man with short hair and bronze skin panted heavily as if he was suffocating and stood up. His legs were still trembling slightly. He bellowed, “J-just run!”

He headed straight toward the door without even looking back for his companion.

The others also looked at this back, and without thinking twice, they followed suit!

Harrison, who was standing on the side, was shocked when he saw them fleeing without their luggage or weapons.

He truly wondered what Jacob just did to make them like rats.

A disgusting smell hit his nose all of a sudden as he looked at the spot where those eight were sitting, and he squinted when he saw eight wet spots on the carpet.

Ashen, he hollered, “Someone quickly through this thing out before the lord smells this abhorrence!”

On the south of the Humane Kingdom, a graceful silhouette was standing on top of a tall building with an indignant look in her crimson eyes.

A-9999, who finally fingered it out that Jacob wasn’t in the underground facility after wasting a day, and a half, was now fuming with rage.

She never thought that fellow would leave behind everything and run away the moment they left the area.

Not only that, but he didn’t leave behind any traces. Even someone like her, who took pride in tracking others, was completely clueless and failed to find Jacob’s traces, no matter how and where she looked.

In the end, she decided to head in the Rainy Mountain Ranges’ direction, since if he wanted to leave, he had to cross that place no matter what. But there was a possibility he was still hiding somewhere in the three kingdoms’ territory to lead them in circles.

Perplexed, she had no choice but to scan through the entire humane kingdom just to make sure he wasn’t there. Only then she would go back and search the other two kingdoms.

If he wasn’t here and left toward the rare region’s direction, then the incoming members of the society will be able to intercept him. She just has to make sure he wasn’t hiding anywhere near the three kingdoms, the common region even.

Only then did they initiate the Cannibal Plan. It was also the order from higher-ups.

At this moment, the Star Watch on her wrist vibrates, drawing her attention.

‘There’s no user in this area.’

She squinted her eyes with exasperation. She was using her Star Watch to find Jacob’s star watch’s corresponding signal. Since he was the only one with a star watch in this region, it was quite an effective method.

Furthermore, she was confident that Jacob would not abandon the star watch with the map in it and the knowledge she transferred.

Even if he did, she had to find the star watch to make it absolutely sure.

As for the possibility of destroying it, everyone knew even if you burn a star watch to ashes, you can still find the last place it was activated before it got destroyed!

That’s what makes the star network scary and unfathomable!

Nevertheless, she still took out another scanner, which was like a black box. Although this thing burns money, it was the most effective way to differentiate between species without them realizing it.

Unless humans have set anti-radar systems in this place, no one will hide their species from this device.
