Cursed Immortality

Chapter 113 This Was Way Easy…

The top floor of Jerry Pawnshop,

Mr. Observer opened the locked door before he steps aside respectfully.

Jacob unhurriedly steps inside the familiar lavishing floor with two bags in his hand.

Itʼs been 20 hours since he killed Jerry and Chad.

After the rain stopped.

As he planned, he took Mr. Observer and Tunny, that was the name of the Pine Orc, back to the Uncommon Dark City, which he didnʼt plan to return so soon.

This time he bought a year-long city pass and first head toward the Potion Tower to take care of Tunnyʼs business.

Since he was one of the best Potion Makers of the Potion Tower, the owner was extremely reluctant to let him go and tried almost everything, begging even, to stop him from leaving.

But how could Tunny tell him his plight that he simply didnʼt have the choice since Jacob was controlling him and he might get eaten by this devil at any moment?

Jacob didnʼt mind Tunnyʼs nauseous expression and took him straight to the pawnshop which was still operating fine by the manager. The staff had no idea their generous boss was dead and replaced by the culprit.

Even if they knew as long as they were paid for their work, they didnʼt care who their Boss was or what he did in his pastime. This place was the Dark City. Even a passerby could be a killer.

Jacob seized Jerryʼs seat, looked at the two slaves, and said, ”Sit.”

Mr. Observer sat down, he had already accepted his fate, and besides, he was a slave, to begin with, so it didnʼt matter much to him. He was even more respectful and obedient toward Jacob because Jacob was extremely powerful. He was also afraid Jacob might eat him if he ticked him off.

Tunny was new to being a slave, even Jerry didnʼt enslave him because of his skills, and it was far better to have him as a partner than a slave.

But Jacob simply didnʼt care about his skills or his importance at all. He looked at him indifferently like he was livestock.

However, he knew his fate was now sealed, unless someone can kill Jacob. That made him even more despaired.

He sat down while placing a large bag aside.

”Put it here.” Jacob coldly commanded when he saw this guy still didnʼt know how to read between the lines. He wondered if the Orc race was filled with idiots.

Tunny reluctantly put the bag on the table and sighed. It was inevitable.

Jacob pulled the bag toward himself and opened it. There were many tools for potion-making and books.

He slowly put them on the table and arranged them.

”Which one is the Titan Tears?” He asked as he looked at the small pile of books.

Tunny pulled a dark gray book from the pile that appeared quite old and placed it before Jacob.

Jacob curiously looked at the plain cover without any writing. If he werenʼt controlling Tunny, he wouldʼve thought he was messing with him.

He opened it and saw the words of this book were completely unfamiliar to him and frowned, ”What language is this?”

”This is the Ancient Philosopherʼs Language. Every Intermediate Rank member of the Alchemy Guild comes in contact with this language since almost all the ancient alchemy texts are translated from the Ancient Philosopherʼs Language.” Tunny replied with a hint of pride.

”Intriguing.” Jacobʼs lips curled up, ”Since youʼre so proud about it, then you definitely know this Ancient Philosopherʼs Language, and youʼll be going to teach me this with the potion alchemy.”

Tunnyʼs expression turned dark when he heard this, but he didnʼt dare to retort.

There were also five bundles of bills on the table with a small bag of coins which were Tunnyʼs liquid savings.

Jacob pocketed them without even blinking and then picked up the Zodiac Money Transfer (ZMT) Device and put it in front of the vexed Tunny.

He commanded, ”Transfer every penny in account number 2245----------”

Tunnyʼs fingers trembled as he activated the ZMT Device which was like a phone, and when it was activated, he pressed his thumb on the thumb imprint which had a small needle in its center.

It was the activation method of the ZMT Device. Not only did a person require the fingerprint, but a blood test as well to log into the Zodiac Taurus Bank Account.

When Tunny was logged in successfully, the entire detail appeared with his bank balance, which was, ʼ32,984,090 Gold Coins. It was his life-saving, but after a few presses, it turned into ʼ0ʼ!

Jacob had his own ZMT Device activated, and when he received the notification about the transfer, his eyes flashed with delight.

ʼThis was way easier than opening the business and starting from scratch.ʼ Jacob mused.

At this moment, he received another notification that he can now upgrade his account from a G-Tier account to F-Tier, and this process can be done with ZMT Device as well.

Jacob was content with this bankʼs efficiency and quickly completed the process that required him to just pressed his thumb on the scanner, and he can now enjoy F-Tier Bank Account benefits.

ʼI should be able to upgrade it up to E or D-Tier with Jerryʼs account.ʼ He thought.

He looked at listless Tunny, who seemed to lose his reason for living, and coolly said, ”Set up your workshop in this place, and if you require any materials for titan tears or equipment, make a list. Weʼre going to start after you take a ten-hour rest. Youʼre dismissed.”

Tunny quietly packed his things and headed toward the other side of the spacious floor, which was more than enough to accumulate a hundred potion workshops.

Jacob finally looked at Mr. Observer, who was silently observing them. He wondered if that was why he had this code name.

He said in a meaningful tone, ”Compared to that guy, I like your demeanor more if you play your part well and do everything I told you. I might set you free before I leave.”

Mr. Observer was startled when he heard this, and an ecstatic glint flashed past his eyes as he quickly bowed, ”I will not disappoint you, Boss! Before what happened between…”

”Alright, stop here. I understand. It wasnʼt your fault.” Jacob coldly cut him short.

Mr. Observer quickly kept his mouth shut and bowed thankfully.

Jacob continues, ”Now that this is out of the way, show Jerryʼs secret safe.”

Motivated, Mr. Observer quickly led Jacob toward the back room.

When they entered this room, it wasnʼt lavish as the exterior, but it was a simple room with some training equipment and a bed in the corner.

Mr. Observer moves like he has been in this place many times, and quickly the only bookshelf beside the bed. He suddenly pulled a thin book, and a click sound rang from the bookshelf before a creaking sound of something opening sounded.

Jacob smiled when he saw the shelf was just a door, and behind it was a 7X6 feet metal door with a combination lock.

”So, whatʼs the combination?” He looked at Mr. Observer with uncertainty.

From what he saw until now, Jerry seemed to be nothing but an idiot because Mr. Observer almost knew everything about him. He didnʼt know if that guy was lax because of the parasite gem, but he knew if it were him, he would never let anyone learn so much about him.

And Jacobʼs doubt became even more apparent when Mr. Observer started spinning the combination lock with great familiarity.

ʼYes, that guy was an absolute idiot. No wonder he even left the formula of the titan tears with that fool. If I were him, I wouldʼve escaped long ago. These guys were the perfect pair of suckers. Iʼm surprised just how they managed to survive this long with a hot potato, like titan tears formula in their hands.ʼ

While Jacob was mulling over this, Mr. Observer had already opened the safe.

”You did great. Tell me the combination and go ask that Pine face clown about what he required and arrange everything. Also, start with the task I tell you about in the cave as well. If any problem arises that you canʼt handle, report it to me.”

Jacob gave instructions before excusing Mr. Observer. He didnʼt want him around when he was calculating ʼhisʼ wealth.

After Mr. Observer left, Jacob opened the safeʼs door with anticipation.

When the safe opened, there were ten brackets in total. Six of them were filled with golden bills. There were about 10 million worth of golden banknotes or even more.

Jacobʼs lips curled up, as he saw some papers and the ZMT Device with them. He activated it without any hesitation.

When the familiar screen appeared, a dismembered thumb appeared in Jacobʼs hand, which was the only part Jacob didnʼt eat.

It was still warm because it was inside the infinity pendant.

Jacob pressed it on the scanner, and the next moment the bank account was flashed open!
