Chapter 189
"That's the guy!" Gilbert extended his arm and pointed toward Jacob who was casually standing by theside. His seemingly simple gesture was full of detest.
Randy widened his eyes. He traced Gilbert's finger to the direction he was pointing at with murderousintent. "You must not care much about your own life huh? How dare you bully my bro…" novelbin
Soon as he locked eyes with Jacob, he was stumped, and his legs turned into jelly.
Ba-dam!
Randy fell down to his knees.
"What's wrong, bro?" Gilbert was shocked. It was rare for him to look at his brother from above.
"You… I can't even…"
Moments earlier, Randy was still baring his fangs, looking all fierce and menacing, but now his facewas white as paper. His body was shaking violently, like a skittish prey that was about to be swallowedwhole.
Jacob frowned slightly while staring at him. "Do you know me?"
"Know you… Of course not!" Gilbert was quick to deny, but the expression of his face had changeddrastically.
Seeing his reaction, Jacob's gaze sharpened as well. "You do recognize me after all. At the bare
minimum, you're aware of my identity, whereas for me, I have no recollection of ever meeting you."
Then, all of a sudden, something clicked in his mind. He was able to connect Richard's words to hisown assumption.
Jacob strode toward Randy. There was an unusual gleam in his eyes. "Did we meet in the South? I'veonly visited once out of all these years…"
Little droplets of sweat began to form on Randy's forehead.
"Bro, what happened to you?" Gilbert grabbed his shoulders and nudged him a few times.
The two giants were keeping watch nearby with their bell-sized eyes. When Randy collapsed, one ofthem expressed his concern in a macho voice. "Boss, what's wrong? Is it the pain from your eternalinjuries?"
Internal injuries?
Jacob was slowly putting the pictures together.
After exhaling slowly, he put on a solemn face. "Tell me, why do you look afraid when you see me?"
"I…" Randy took a gulp. Only fear remained on his face.
His subordinates finally caught on to the situation. They realized Randy's unusual behavior wassomehow related to the young man standing before them. They were compelled to act out of loyalty.
The man on the left was staring daggers at Jacob. Using his long arm span, he started reaching forJacob. "What did you do to our boss?"
Jacob shot him a glance. By casually flicking his wrist, he delivered a surge of invisible force toward theman. The man's eyes popped when he felt the torrent. His body was tossed a few meters back.
Two-hundred kilograms of flesh and bones came crashing down into the crowd. Some of the unluckybystanders had their wind knocked out of them. After reassessing the situation, the crowd decided tomove a few meters back for their own safety.

Lilly carefully placed herself behind Gilbert, cowering in fear.
At the store front, Richard was astonished by the events that had unfolded before him. He took a deepbreath and blinked in disbelief. "Chairman, did Jacob just…"
Franklin patted his shoulder with a satisfied smirk. "Didn't I tell you that Jacob is going to take care ofthis? He's going to cover for us no matter what."
Richard took a good look at Jacob's silhouette before letting out a meaningful sigh. "In just a few years'time, Jacob has developed his talents to such remarkable heights!"
Me covering for them?
Jacob twitched his brows. His father's words filled him with a great sense of pride.
I've been cultivating my Iron Blood for six years now! I can surely deal with anything that's thrown atme!
He turned his hawk-like eyes back to Randy. "I'll ask you one last time. Why are you afraid of me?"
"I…" Randy found himself staring into a pair of eerie pits where death lurks indubitably. He could feelthe chills creeping all the way to his core.
"No answer? Death it is!" Jacob was ripe and ready for his execution.
Randy was no longer able to surmount his crippling anxiety. He cried out in fear, "I… I'll say it! I've seenyou at the Blood Thorns headquarters!
The Blood Thorns!?
