When Jacob was about to give his alias, 'Jack'. His eyes suddenly landed on Immortika's newly written words.
"Call yourself Faceless Ancient. You'll thank me later!"
Although he didn't know why he went with Immortika's suggestion at that moment.
"… As for my name, call me… Faceless Ancient!"
"Why did you want me to use this name?" Jacob then asked with uncertainty.
Although he didn't mind using this alias. But it came from Immortika. He was curious about it, as well as slightly wary.
"I can't answer that… hahahaha."
Jacob's expression darkened, and he directly closed the book in exasperation. He knew Immortika's antics very well. Even though it liked to mess around, it never lied to Jacob, and its words always have some kind of mystery behind them.
"What an arrogant way to call yourself!" Skull NO. A-10000 finally couldn't help but sneer.
He has been suppressing his emotions and was on high alert for quite a while now, and since Jacob turned out to be non-hostile, he finally opened his mouth.
"Can you keep your mouth close for a moment? Or would you like your tongue to rip out?" Skull No. A-9999 coldly berated in a threatening tone.
Although Jacob appeared to be unhostile at the moment, he might turn hostile if he felt offended because Skull No. A-9999 would!
She would want to rip apart an idiot Orc if he dared to talk with her in this tone.
Jacob coldly looked at the Lion-Headed Orc and spoke, "I want his life as a part of this deal now."
Skull No. A-10000's eyes contracted when he heard this, and he took a step back. He suddenly felt a murderous pressure on him when Jacob looked at him. He even felt Skull No. A-9999 would take this chance to get rid of him, and he was ready to flee.
Skull No. A-9999, however, shook her head. "I know he's annoying and disrespectful, but this isn't called for a death sentence. Besides, we'll deal with our own people. I'll raise your compensation for this offense."
Jacob was startled. He didn't expect this decisive woman would take this stance. He was simply testing the waters to see just how united they were, but he never thought she would risk turning adverse for that idiot.
'Either she's extremely loyal to the society or she's bonded by something like a parasite gem that won't allow her to take certain actions.' Jacob mused with a sharp light in his eyes, 'Killer Skull Society, huh? I'll see more of them in the future.'
"Alright, let's hear it." Jacob nodded without forcing Skull No. A-9999.
Skull No. A-10000 had a massive sigh of relief when he saw the situation was subdued, and he didn't dare to open his mouth again. The opponent wasn't someone who he could mess with or poke remarks at.
Skull No. A-9999 also felt this person was quite sensitive like her and this kind of opponent she hated the most. Because they were too hard to deal with.
She spoke in her charming voice, "500 Million Gold Coins for your inconvenience and a Rare Tier-1 Technology of Light Orb Shield for the titan tears as goodwill from our organization. Furthermore, if you're willing to leave the Common Plains, I'll add a Common Tier-12 Haste Potion Formula!"
Although Skull No. A-9999 didn't have the authority to make this offer.
But she knew when the higher-ups of the society heard that someone like Jacob was lurking under their noses and this endangered their entire plan, they will pay even more to make Jacob leave the three kingdoms!
Jacob's eyes dilated when he heard this unusual offer. 'Could this be the normal means of trading between the rare kind? A Rare Tier Technology seems quite nice, and I've heard of this haste potion. It can raise someone's speed by 5% percent in those books, and this potion is quite rare.
'But she's willing to give me the entire formula just to make me leave this 'Common Plains'. It's quite generous. Well, it's a good deal for me.
'If she had told me to wait here so she could fetch those things, I would rather leave than wait for her to bring her weapons or some helpers. But how is she going to give me all this? She didn't even carry a bag?'
He suppressed his curiosity, nodded, and said subtly, "Alright, I won't appear unjust. But I want the complete map. Mine was destroyed. That's why I wandered here in this shithole. I also wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible."
Jacob ambiguously demands a map as to what kind of map he'll let them decide for themselves. But he was sure that after observing the scale of his power, they would definitely give him a map suitable for someone like him.
Furthermore, he never planned on staying here. He would put a target on himself since society would see him as a threat. He also didn't know if they have more people like the dark elf, so he won't give them time to call for reinforcement.
So, he would leave the moment this deal was finalized!
He was now truly scared for his life and was determined to remain low-key unless it was necessary.
Jacob also knew as long as he held the titan tears formula, they won't make a move on him, but the moment the formula left his hands, they will try to hunt him down.
After all, in their eyes, Jacob now knew whatever they were doing, and they won't let him spread the news for the secrecy's sake.
They were only friends and back down for a moment!
Skull No.9999 eyes shone in understanding when she heard this, 'So, he appeared here by chance? Well, it does make sense since it would be far more dangerous to cross to this side without a clear route.'
She mused. She even felt relief. It also gave her some hints about Jacob's background.
Furthermore, Jacob didn't seem to be aware of their Cannibal Plain, or he won't make a deal like this by handing over the Titan Tears Formula.
Nevertheless, she knew the moment Jacob left this place he will be hunted down before he could cross to the other side.
Killer Skull Society won't let a variable like Jacob leave this place under any circumstances when it comes to the Cannibal Plan.
However, Skull No.9999 would be completely out of this situation since it won't be her problem anymore. She didn't want to fight with Jacob under these circumstances either. Since this might alert that hidden 'Protector of the Zodiac Taurus Bank'.
So, letting Jacob leave the three kingdoms' territory first and then letting the society hunt him down would be a far better option.
"Alright, give me your account number. I'll transfer the gold coins, technology, potion formula, and map right away into your Star Watch. But I need access to my Star Watch for this. Can I?" Skull No.9999 showed a silver wristband on her ebony wrist.
Jacob squinted his eyes when he saw the wristband. 'Now, what is this Star Watch? Is this an advanced mobile technology?'
Now, he was really in a dilemma. He didn't know there was something like this and that these methods of exchange would be entirely virtual. This place was just far behind in technology from the place these two were.
But he can't tell them he only has a pager, which didn't even have any signal here.
So, he made an ambiguous excuse, "Do I look like I'm wearing one?" He coolly showed his wrists.
Skull No.9999 eyes squinted behind the cape when she heard it, 'It seemed he was telling the truth.'
Nonetheless, she then looked at Skull No.10000 and said, "Give him yours."
Skull No.10000 was baffled by this command, 'Fuck, I spent 50 million to buy this watch, and now she wanted to give it away?!'
But he still reluctantly took off the black wristband from his wrist. He said, "Unbound, Reset" after pressing a button on the side.
The next moment, a screen lit up on the wristband before he tossed it toward Jacob with a resentful grunt.
Jacob caught the four inches wide wristband. It was extremely smooth and slick; it was like a rubber band.
If he hadn't seen the screen with his eyes and a slim button on the side, he would think it was just an ordinary rubber band.
"This is my account number ***."
To distract Skull No.9999, he gave his account number.
He didn't think she would give him this Star Watch, and now he didn't know how to activate it.
But he still wore it as if he knew precisely what he was doing and pressed the button like the Skull No.10000.
Skull No.9999 nodded and suspected nothing and thought Jacob was just activating the Star Watch, so she also started pressing on the silver wristband on her wrist, which differed greatly from the one on Jacob's wrist.
Jacob saw a screen appear on his Star Watch, which made his eyes contract.
"Welcome to Star Network!"
