Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 38: The High-end Auction

In Riverside City, the Bell Family

At that moment, many of the key members of the Bell family were gathered for a family meeting.

“Is the investigation completed? What happened to the Hansen family last night?” The highest ranking

member of the family, Lenard Bell, questioned solemnly.

Last night, the Hansen family attempted to assassinate Jacob, during which his wife Kaley Harris was

shot, and we are uncertain if she is dead or alive. In the heat of the moment, Jacob retaliated by

attacking back and currently, what had happened in the Hansen family and how it happened is

unknown to us. Furthermore, Carlton Hansen, the patriarch of the Hansen family and the rest of them

vanished overnight!”

“Right now, it’s a man call Abbott Hayes overseeing the Hansen family matters!”

Someone asked.

“Is Jacob so terrifying?”

“Although the Hansen family is not like our family, however they are still considered as one of the

nobilities in Riverside City, and just like that, their key members are wiped out by him?”

The key members of the Bell family were all shaken as it was unbelievable.

Hearing this seemed so unreal.

“From the looks of it, yesterday Carlton asked for our assistance to eradicate Jacob. Rejecting him was

the right decision!”

The Hansen family lineages are all dead. There was almost no difference to them from being

completely eradicated.

The man sitting at the highest position, Lenard Bell, did not look pleased.

He then turned his gaze towards his daughter Lena Bell who was sitting aside.

If it were not for the insistence of Lena of gathering all their men to set a trap to capture Jacob, he was

still very much in favour of the alliance with the Hansen family.

Although Lena was a young and was her daughter, for many things, they needed to consult and

consider her advice.

There was no choice. Lena was Boyce Goldsmith’s fiancée, and to be able to merge their families, it all

relied on her.

“Father, Jacob showed that he is capable of destroying the Hansen’s. Although we overestimated him

as possible before, as of now, we still underestimated him!”

As Lena recalled that vivid night, when Jacob appeared in her room, a flash of brilliance lit up within her

eyes.

Jacob was more capable than she had expected.

Well then, the previous plan needed some tweaking; if not, there was no guarantee whether if the

previous plan will proceed accordingly as something unexpected might occur!

“Lena, what is your opinion on Jacob’s capabilities? It is more terrifying than expected. Should we

avenge Galip or concede to his requests and give him the things he asked for?”

Lenard looked at Lena.

“He killed Galip; of course he will have to pay the price. Besides, the Bell family is not going to

succumb to his demands, if that’s the case, where is the status of our family? If father permits, I can

ask the Goldsmiths for assistance!” Lena concluded.

Inside her heart, she felt disappointed and cold.

Her father still did not trust her fully.

“Well said, Jacob dare to kill my Galip, he will pay with blood and understand that us Bell family is not

to be trifled with!”

Lenard looked pleasingly towards Lena.

….

….

At the same time, the events that shook the upper-class of Riverside City triggered everyone’s curiosity

about who the mysterious figure that eradicated the lineages of the Hansen family was.

The most discussed person, Jacob, was waiting in his home.

He was waiting in the wedding room that belonged to Jacob and Kaley.

But this wedding room was one that he had not live inside before. Since the day they married, it had

become the personal room for Kaley.

At the same time Kaley was blissfully lying in her bed which was wrapped in light fragance.

It looked as if she was taking a beauty nap.

But her face was a bit pale!

“Silly girl, you can’t really be falling in love with me, right?”

Jacob said, while he sat next to the bed and looked at her.

As compared to his previous expression of nonchalance, his eyes were now filled with more NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

compassion.

No one would have guessed that this Jacob was the same man who just mercilessly killed the Hansen

family yesterday.

“Oh, I wanted to divorce to settle this karma, but such a thing happened due to circumstances, now I

don’t think I can divorce!”

Jacob let out a weak smile.

Before Kaley passed out, she said these words; Jacob did not have the heart to reject her.

The emperor of the dark realm spoke and his words were law.

Since a promise was made, Jacob would see through to the end.

“Master, I have checked, tomorrow there is an auction for the nobilities in South Riverside Province,

amongst them, is a thousand-year ginseng!”

After a moment, Grizzly bear suddenly appeared by the door respectfully.

“Alright, I know.”

Jacob replied.

And he looked towards the Kaley who was still lying in bed and said, “Don’t worry, no one can take

away anyone from me, even king of hell is not allowed to!”

“Wait for my return!”

Jacob said and turned and left.

The gun shot that hit Kaley yesterday landed on a fatal spot, if not for Jacob’s timely intervention, using

his secret technique to prevent the loss of her chakra, Kaley would have died by now.

But Kaley’s situation, and her father Brian’s situation, was different.

Even by using Jacob’s current method, he was unable to directly revive Kaley.

He could only rely on the medicinal pill!

To create the Resurrection Panacea, he still needed the magical Resurrection Herb.

Based on Jacob’s understanding, such magical herb did not exist on earth.

Even if it did exist, he could not find it immediately as he would like to.

All he could do was settling for the next best item, which was to use the thousand-year-old ginseng to

replace the Resurrection Herb.

The older the ginseng was, the more effective it would be.

Kaley was a mortal human after all, unlike an immortal, she did not required as much vital essence.

Using the ginseng to make the pill would be less potent but nonetheless as effective for her.

After instructing Doctor Swift to bring along a few assistants, that afternoon, Jacob along with Grizzly

bear and Tekken, boarded a plane and flew to South Riverside Province.

…

…

In South Riverside Province…

Divine Land Auction House, South Riverside Province branch, which was situated in the capital city of

the province, was the most bustling sector of the province.

Today, the South Riverside Province branch was full of live.

Every auction event organized by Divine Land Auction House was almost packed as Divine Land

Auction House was always exorbitant.

Items auctioned through this event were never cheap.

Items that had no sky-high rocket price tag would not be accepted for auction!

Hence, nobilities that were interested in their auctions were endless.

In fact, within these nobilities, there was an unspoken rule.

Whoever had never successfully purchased an item from this auction was not considered true nobility.

After all, if they did not have such financial means, how could they be deemed as nobility?

Everyone would be looking down at them.

At that moment, Jacob, Grizzly Bear and Tekken, were sitting in a corner of the auction.

There was no choice; this auction was way too popular among the nobilities that the tickets were all

sold out long ago.

These 3 slots were obtained by Abbott through a representative of the Hansens’ branch in South

Riverside Province at a high price.

“Grizzly Bear, do we have enough money?”

This was the first time Jacob attended an auction on earth, but as compared to those in the universe, it

was similar.

“Don’t worry Master, even if the price was sky-high, we will purchase it!” replied Grizzly Bear.

This thousand-year-old ginseng was tied in with the life of Kaley, he dared not mess up.

With the total pooled sum of money from the Hansen family together with their additions.

With a confirmation, Jacob began waiting.

A short while later, the auction finally began.

Those items auctioned initially, from Yuan dynasty vase to Tang Bo Hu art pieces to various cultural

artefacts, all were worth a lot of money.

But none of them interest Jacob.

That was until the seventh item up for auction.

Two elegantly dressed assistant brought up an unusually shaped rock of some sort, which captured the

attention of Jacob.

Seeing it made Jacob’s breath hastened.

It was not because that he recognized that item.

But it was because that when the item appeared, Jacob felt a sensation from the chaotic pearl, which

he had never felt in a long time.

Finally, there was a reaction.

The temperature in his palm started to rise gradually!
