Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns
Chapter 12: His Target Is Winona

Benjamin froze as he stretched out his hands.

His flattering smile froze on his lips.

Seeing that Benjamin greeted the couple with a smile and called the man "Mr. Watson", everybody knew that this man must be a big wheel.

However, they didn't expect that Aaron would ignore Benjamin.

He just passed Benjamin, as if he didn't see Benjamin.

Could it be that Mr. Watson was annoyed because they had just blocked the way?

A thought flashed through their minds. And Benjamin also felt the same way.

However, they knew they were wrong the next moment.

"Mr. Reyes, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Aaron and Winona actually apologized to Jacob.

The director of the FDA actually treated Jacob with courtesy?

And Aaron even called him Mr. Reyes?

Everyone was astonished.

Thinking of that they had mocked Jacob, everyone was frightened and worried.

Benjamin even broke out into a cold sweat.

These classmates who had flattered Benjamin had nothing to do with Aaron. So if Aaron was unhappy, he wouldn't do anything to those people. However, Benjamin worked in the FDA.

If Aaron was mad at him, Benjamin's official career would be over.

Benjamin was very regretful.

But he still hated Jacob's guts.

As a live-in son-in-law, Jacob was just a joke, and he should just be a joke.

However, he actually became a person that even Aaron treated with courtesy.

"Mr. Watson, you know Jacob? We are old classmates."

Benjamin walked over and said.

"Yes."

"We were in the same class when in college."

Benjamin's classmates echoed.

Seeing that these people got his intentions, Benjamin finally heaved a sigh of relief.

However, a voice sounded the next moment.

It was just like a slap in the face.

"Sorry. Why don't I remember that I know you guys?"

"Maybe it's because I have a bad memory. There were so many students in our class, so I guess it's normal that I don't remember those unimportant people." Jacob said indifferently.

This amused Winona.

But Benjamin only felt awkward.

"You are Benjamin, the section chief who has just been appointed these past two days, right?"

Aaron looked at Benjamin.

Benjamin nodded.

"You have to learn how to get along with others before you do anything."

"I put you in this position because I want you to do your job well, not to let you show off your talent and status, let alone casually make promises to arrange work for others."

"Since you are in this position, you don't have to be humble and respectful, but at least you should be cautious. Every move you make represents not only yourself. Now it seems that appointing you as the new section chief is a bit imprudent."

"Go back and reflect on yourself."

Aaron's remarks disappointed Benjamin's hope.

Benjamin widened his eyes. Appointing him as the new section chief was imprudent?

Go back and reflect?

Did this mean that he was dismissed from his post as the new section chief?

Moreover, it meant that he could no longer get promoted with Aaron in the FDA.

In that case, his official career would basically be ruined!

"Mr. Watson, just because I offended Jacob, so...."

Benjamin felt resentful.

Aaron's face darkened.

"Didn't I make myself clear?"

Aaron's stern tone made Benjamin shiver.

Then he absent-mindedly walked out.

His future was ruined!

His classmates, who had been flattering him, didn't follow him.

"Jacob, you seem to be more handsome. I really envy you!"

Winona looked at Jacob and said in surprise.

Ever since Jacob entered the Gasification Phase, the power of chaos had cleaned his body. With impurities being excreted from his body, he naturally looked better. "Winona, you look better too."

Jacob smiled.

Hearing this, Winona flashed with embarrassment.

Aaron's illness had been cured by Jacob.

So she could have normal sexual life now. That was why she looked better.

They chatted for a while.

"Mr. Watson, you said that you had a clue about the person who attacked you. What did you replace?"

Jacob asked straightforwardly.

After all, this was the main reason why he came here.

"I've thought about it carefully. I thought it might have something to do with the thing that happened three months ago."

"At that time, I and Winona were shopping. We met a strange person. He was dressed in a large black robe, looking extremely gloomy."

"We wanted to stay away from him, but he walked to us and even touched Winona. And he said something like 'Tripod Furnace'. I didn't hear it clearly."

"You know, no man can stand such a thing. Seeing that he touched Winona, I immediately pushed him away. However, my hand was bounced back by a force before I could touch him. Fortunately, after he touched Winona, he just patted me and didn't do anything excessive. Also, he said he would come back three months later."

"Then he left. His speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was several meters away from me. At that time, we didn't pay much attention to him and just thought that we met a madman."

Hearing this, Jacob could almost confirm his thought.

"Have you been unwell just after that?"

Jacob asked.

"Yes," Aaron said.

Based on this, Jacob came up with an inference.

Could it be that the strange man was learning demonic witchcraft? That man attacked Aaron because he wanted Winona to be his Tripod Furnace?

Jacob felt that this may be the case.

"Mr. Watson, it seems that you were indeed harmed by him. His target is probably Winona."

Jacob said.

"What?"

Aaron and Winona both widened their eyes.

"Besides, he said he would come back three months later. It should be true."

Jacob added.

"Three months later?" Aaron frowned. He pondered for a moment and looked up at Jacob, "Mr. Reyes, today is the day he will come."

What a coincidence!

Jacob was surprised.

He was also a little happy.

"If you trust me, you can leave him to me. However, you have to cooperate with me."

Actually, Jacob just wanted Winona to cooperate with him.

He asked Aaron to join them just in order to avoid suspicion.

"Apart from medical skills, you've also learned martial arts?"

Aaron was a little surprised.

He thought the gloomy black-clothed man should also have learned martial arts.

Winona was from the Campbell family in the capital city. Since Aaron married her, he naturally knew some things that ordinary people didn't know. For example, in this world, there were really some martial artists who had external power.

Martial arts?

Jacob shook his head.

He really hadn't learned that.

What he had been learning wasn't martial arts.

However, he wouldn't tell Aaron and Winona about cultivation.

Seeing Jacob shake his head, Winona and Aaron thought that Jacob only learned medical skills.

No one was perfect. Jacob was already amazing since he had brilliant medical skills at such a young age.

...

Ten o'clock in the evening, in the Riverside Park.

Jacob was sitting in a pavilion with Aaron and Winona.

"Mr. Reyes, it's already ten o'clock in the evening. According to what the black clothed man said, there are only two hours left. He hasn't showed up yet. Could it be that he can't replace me?"

Aaron was a little nervous, but more worried.

"Trust me, he will replace us. Mr. Watson, don't worry. I'll protect you, and you'll be fine."

Jacob explained.

He looked at the bodyguards ambushed nearby.

These were arranged by Aaron and Winona.

Those men were all retired special troops.

This showed that the Campbell family was really powerful.

Winona wasn't a direct descendant, but the Campbells still helped her and sent a batch of retired special troops to come here to protect them in just a few hours.

Her family was indeed powerful.

"Young man, you're too arrogant. It's not a good thing."

"If you can handle it by yourself, why should we come here?"

Outside the pavilion stood a muscular man.

He was the head of those retired special troops. He was nicknamed "Grizzly Bear" and was very strong.

He thought he was nice enough to Jacob.

He was nice just because he knew that Jacob had rescued Aaron.

Jacob was obviously thin and weak, but he actually said that he could protect Aaron and Winona. He was so arrogant. If something really happened, could he shoulder the responsibility?

Jacob just gave Grizzly Bear a cold glance.

Aaron and Winona were somewhat anxious.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

It was a long horrible scream.

"What's happening?"

Aaron and Winona tensed up.

Grizzly Bear's expression changed.

However, the horrible scream soon stopped.

Then they heard an awful laughter.

A man in a black robe slowly walked out.
