??"If they do it more than three tis, they will expel from the Alchemy Guild!"
Jacob ignored the ghastly expression on everyone's faces and looked at Braylon, who was looking at him with narrow eyes. His lips curled up before he said, "If I'm not wrong, White Sage inford about these infractions to the Guild Leader of the Dark City. But for so reason, the Guild Leader never took any action, so these guys always go as they pleased. So, let
ask you, Senior Braylon, are you the Guild Leader of Dark City's Alchemy Guild?"
Jacob had spent so ti looking through all rules and regulations of the alchemy guild after he beca a permanent mber. He found many interesting things there, but he never expected he would be using them so soon and like this.
He now got thoroughly annoyed by this group of nuisances, especially those old mbers who were acting like a bunch of bootlickers as if they could ride on Braylon's coattail while the other guy clearly didn't give a damn about them.
Especially when he felt extrely malicious intent from the goblin standing right beside Braylon, it was like he was eting Decker once again, and this brought back so very bad mories.
So, Jacob just decided to teach them a very painful lesson as well as harvest so benefits. If these guys didn't show up, he won't have done it, but now that they were here, he would not let this chance pass by.
Braylon narrowed his eyes as he replied, "I am indeed the acting Guild Leader of Dark City. Why don't you let Senior Lawrence go before he dies? This didn't need to get any uglier."
Braylon was no longer polite and amiable as before. But now he was quite apprehensive of Jacob and vigilant.
Because from start to finish, Jacob has never shown any discomfort or a sliver of fear as if he was utterly in control which was not a very comfortable feeling and a first for Braylon.
The truth was he ca here with another motive besides eting him, or he won't even be bothered by the appearance of another Senior Grandmaster Alchemist if it was any other person than Jacob.
But things suddenly started to go south the mont he t Jacob, which was simply too abrupt, no matter how much Braylon thought about it.
Not only he but the other alchemists were now completely silent because they were afraid that they would replace Lawrence if they annoyed Jacob, so they let Braylon talk.
This all damn thing started because Lawrence interfered in their conversation, so they no longer dared to utter anything, as Jacob was even more dangerous than Braylon since he didn't care about their faces.
Even Bart and Rita, who have so goodwill toward Jacob, were now complete silence because from start to finish, Jacob didn't even look at them, which was a clear enough indicator that Jacob didn't care about them at all.
Bart was still fine, but Rita felt knives stabbing in her heart as she saw just how indifferent Jacob was toward her as he didn't even bother to reply or react.
Jacob really didn't care about any of them as he never even considered them his equal from start to finish. They were just like passersby in his eyes, who would be left behind once he left the rare plains, so what was the point of creating connections?
Jacob replied to Braylon as his voice turned appalling, "Even if I kill him. I won't suffer any punishnt at all. Do you agree with , Guild Leader?"
Lawrence started to struggle even more intensely after he heard what Jacob had just said.
Braylon was now really alard as he could tell Jacob wasn't joking at all. After a very long ti, a feeling of fear started to surface in his heart.
But he quickly hid his fear and said in a cold tone this ti, "Look, we all make mistakes by coming here, and I'll personally take full responsibility for this and compensate you.
"I know you are a permanent mber of the Zodiac Warrior Alliance, and no matter what kind of mistake, it's not a place of the Alliance to interfere with the guild's affairs. I can easily revoke your temporary guild mbership, which won't benefit you at all. Just let him go, and we can have a nice chat."
Everyone was shocked at this revelation, even Otto and Orville, who were quite sure that Braylon was here to recruit Jacob. But it turned out Braylon was hiding the fact that he also knew about Jacob's background and feigned ignorance all this ti.
This made them even more curious about his true purpose for coming here, and he pretended not to know about him.
Jacob's lips curled up behind his mask as he looked at Braylon, who was now coldly looking at him, completely different from his amiable self a few minutes ago.
'Crack…'
At this mont, an eerie sound of bones getting crushed rang in the entire workshop, and a chill ran down everyone's spine because they knew where that voice ca from. They all looked at Lawrence, was now stopped struggling, and Jacob's hand was now completely clenched around his neck before he released him.
'Thud…'
When Lawrence's lumpy body fell on the ground, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
"Y-you killed him…" Braylon spoke hoarsely while feeling he was dreaming. A Senior Grandmaster Rank figure was killed right under his eyes, and he was watching like a fool.
However, before anyone could react, Jacob vanished from his spot again, and this ti, he appeared only a few inches away from Braylon.
Braylon's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he wanted to retreat by using his magic, but he was simply too slow, and before he knew it, Jacob's hand was placed over his shoulder, and he froze as he could feel the aura of death enveloping him.
Jacob's icy voice rang as he looked Braylon straight into his horrid eyes and said coolly, "As an acting guild leader of Dark City, not only do you collude in breaking the rules with other mbers.
"You take a direct part in infiltrating my personal workshop without any prior notice by using your rank. Even if I kill you hundreds of tis, not even God can find fault with .
"Yet, not only did you dare to threaten
by using your asly authority, you even have the gal to lie to my face? Who the fuck do you think you are?"
Jacob's voice was now like a death knell to everyone's ears, especially Braylon, who seed to have lost his soul!
