Cursed Immortality

Chapter 140 Everything Is Set!

At this moment, Jacob still sat on his throne chair with a faint smile on his face, as if he was in an excellent mood.

The closed-door suddenly opened at this moment, and a graceful woman entered, who was none other than Alice.

Jacob looked at Alice and said impassively, ”So, how did it go with your father?”

He still remembered when he asked her if she could kill her father for him. Her answer was very decisive and out of Jacobʼs expectations.

She answered, ʼI wonʼt kill him, but if he stood against you, Iʼll do it!ʼ

Although Jacobʼs question was to test Aliceʼs mindset and just how far she was willing to go for power or his favor. After getting this answer, Jacob was content with Alice and was qualified to be his pawn.

Alice catwalks toward Jacob as her icy expression breaks into a charming smile, and she stated, ”Heʼs as selfish as ever and wanted information on you. But I just made it clear Iʼm no longer his tool anymore, and he wonʼt say such a thing anymore.”

This answer did not surprise Jacob, as he had already expected this. ”A trivial matter then. What about your new strength? How confident are you in defeating the kingdomʼs marshal?”

When Alice heard this couldnʼt help but remembered that two black drops Jacob made her consume after she gave him that answer. She first thought Jacob was poisoning her since she didnʼt like her repose.

But the moment she consumed those two black drops, she felt a strange energy, and soon, she felt her power increase by a large margin. Then Jacob took out a strange device that could measure her strength.

She was shocked when she heard she was already a B-rank, and after trying some exercises; she knew Jacob wasnʼt joking and was completely convinced that Jacob could help her achieve A rank strength in a day if he wanted with that mysterious black liquid.

She was even more shocked and sure when Jacob made Harrison achieve the same strength as her, who wasnʼt even an F-rank the next day. Her doubts had completely vanished, and she knew Jacob had many secrets, and his prowess might not be just at A-rank.

Now, she didnʼt even think of double-crossing Jacob.

She truthfully answered, ”Marshal Galant is still stronger because of his vast experience in the army, and I heard he had practiced the fabled Fighter Manual of the Nightmare Knight Legion. Thatʼs why even those three B-rank mercenaries leaders canʼt do anything to him.”

There was a hint of respect in her voice for Galant.

Jacob nodded because he also thought Galant was almost an A-rank and he just needed some kind of push, and if he gave him just one drop of titan tears, he would break into the ranks of A-rank experts.

Just like Alice, who was at the peak of C-rank, easily achieved B-rank after consuming just two titan tears drops while Harrison required 81 drops to achieve B-rank level strength.

As for why Jacob chose Harrison and was willing to spend this many titan drops on him, only Jacob knew for now. But Harrison was also now quite loyal and wanted to learn the fighting skills from Alice so he could use his strength more accurately.

Jacob looked at Alice, who was already standing in front of him, and said, ”I have a mission for you and if you complete it, youʼll receive 10 more drops of black liquid.”

Aliceʼs eyes shimmered in ecstasy when she heard this and blurted, ”Tell me, Iʼll do anything!”

Jacobʼs lips curled, and told, ”Make a trip to the Aureate Kingdom and keep an eye out for anything strange there. If Iʼm not wrong, trolls might be up to something, and since they withdraw from here, they might seek goblins for trouble next.

”If a war started there, I want you to observe if theyʼre collecting the blood of goblins and if they did, thereʼs no need to get involved and come back without alerting any.

”But Iʼm warning you, there might be an existence as strong as me present there if the war started, so donʼt get caught, or youʼll be dead.”

Aliceʼs expression changed when she heard this, ”Just what is going on with these wars, and why are such powerful people appearing here?”

She was naturally curious about this, like anyone else, and Jacob seemed to know more. But what truly made her aghast there were more existences, like Jacob involved here.

”I also wanted to find out what was going on, and this war might answer some questions. Now prepare. Leave whenever youʼre ready and hide your tracks. You donʼt need to serve me. Report back in a year if nothing happened.” Jacob sternly ordered.

Alice said nothing before she left with a stern expression. She knew this mission was going to be very difficult, but she was willing to take the risk since it was only about spying, and once she completed it, she would be closer to becoming an A-rank or even higher.

Jacob watched Alice leave as an astute glint flashed past his eyes, ʼIf Iʼm not wrong, this war and blood collection is related to that mutant which I discovered in that forest and that underground lab.

ʼThereʼs something in human blood that draw Killer Skull Society here, and it might not be replicable. But it remained to be seen if it was only humans or the uncommon region which interested the Killer Skull Society.

ʼBut Iʼm eighty percent sure this is all related to that mutant and lab. To get an accurate answer, I just needed to find that mutant body. I knew where it was, and they even had some research data on it.

ʼOnce this becomes clear, and the Humane Kingdom does as I said, everything will be set in place… I would reap enormous benefits without getting under anyoneʼs radar, and no one would ever know this.

ʼI need to act in three months just to be on the safe side and make sure to get rid of future trouble. Now that the pool project is complete, I need to learn and control at least 1X fluid acceleration!ʼ
