Far away from the Rainy Mountain Range, inside a bright room,
A burly hob troll was reading some documents with a serious expression on his face.
'Took, took…'
Suddenly, he heard noises from the window in on his rare.
He turned around and saw a small blue bird knowing on the glass window with its small beak.
He stood up from his chair and move toward the closed window and he opened it without any hesitation.
The little bird flew inside and sat on his shoulder.
A small smile appeared on this hob troll's ugly face as brushed his finger on the little bird's head.
However, the next moment, his eyes turned icy, and he suddenly formed a pincer with his thumb and finger and instantly broke the bird's neck, killing it in an instant!
"Forgive me, little one." A trace of tear appeared in his eyes as he cradled the dead bird in his hand as if he was in extreme pain.
The next moment, he took out a knife from a drawer of his table and cut open the bird's belly, and startling, a small tub appeared!
The hob troll took out the small tube before it picked up the bloody bird again and mumbled, "You'll live forever within me!" and then gobbled it whole!
He then opened the tube, and a small chit appeared. There was writing on it,
"Skull No. C-871989650 has been crushed!"
"Skull No. B-349032323 move out."
"Assignment details and materials have been delivered into the Bank Locker!"
The hob troll frowned, seeing the content before he swallowed the chit as well.
"No one is allowed to hinder our noble cause!"
With that, he opened the door and left.

After killing the three hob-troll, Jacob finally turn his attention toward the big prize, which was naturally the tiger bull.
However, he tried to pierce open its stomach. He soon found out why this bull skin was compatible with iron. He had to use his full strength to cut it open and without the titan iron blade; he was afraid no normal blade could pierce through this bull's skin.
Nevertheless, he just had to work extra hard to guts this bull and he considered it an exercise for himself. After his heart's new evolution, he had yet to feel fatigued. Only hunger was his biggest enemy.
But it still took three hours to completely removed the skin and inners. He had already collected the loot from his newly killed hob trolls.
He got six handguns, two shotguns, and one axe, which was clearly made of special material as well. But Jacob tried to swing it on his titian blades and it didn't manage to leave a scratch, which means it was far inferior.
A total of 2,674 bullets for all the firearms and mercenary IDs from the Earthen Kingdom. Three long knives and twelve small daggers from that crazy hob troll woman, 520 bronze coins, 3,904 silver coins, and 1,726 gold coins.
Lastly, the tracking device that was still working and showing the dead tiger bull.
Jacob had found no tracker inside the bull's body, even after looking for it. Which could only mean it was inside its head, which was still untouched by him.
'This should come in handy.' He moved toward the bull's head, which was already half opened. He then put his inside its gory skull and started to search around.
'Here it is!' He finally found a small gemstone that was planted right on its forehead by someone. This also explains why they needed to kill it. But it also made it clear that whoever put this inside this bull's head wasn't someone normal.
After putting the tracker and tracking device away inside his storage. He looked around, and it was a huge mess. Blood and gore were all over the area and the potent smell.
"I can't cook it here."
Jacob shook his head and picked the huge iron bull, which was now a meat slab. He also took his skin and he was planning to make clothes out of it because of its defense.
As for the others, he left them for the animals to clean them. He had already taken what needed.
After moving a few miles away from the kill zone, he started to make his camp and the first thing he did was light a huge fire and skewered the entire bull!
Afterward, he set a nice camp before starting to tend the meat with all kinds of spices he had stored before coming here, but regretfully, they weren't enough for such a huge bull.
The bull was three meters in size and one could imagine just how difficult it was to cook it whole, but Jacob still take it upon himself.
He knew he can consume it whole, and he was planning to do just that before returning.
After twelve hours of waiting, the tiger bull was ready to eat and Jacob didn't stand on ceremony and turned an entire leg piece and start to eat like a barbarian.
The sky was already filled with rain clouds, and Jacob didn't want the meat to go bad, especially not this quality.
As he ate the delicious meat, he felt the hot wave of energy spreading all over his body as his heart beat like crazing. He could literally feel meat being digested within seconds as it reached his stomach.
Which made him eat even faster than he could feel his body started to get strong!
It took him three hours to consume the entire bull and bone marrow even.
Now he felt full of energy and his hunger was no longer apparent. But the greatest change was Jacob was now bulky, like MR. Olympia, which made him frown to no end.
He didn't like this kind of physique because it restrained his movement, despite giving him a wide area of motion and strength.
Then he decided with a dangerous glint in his eyes, "I'm going to compress my muscles and the best way is to practice that suicidal martial art that lunatic gave me. I never thought anyone is capable of learning it, but now I'm required such a martial art!"
