Chad was the most miserable because he was with the giants. He also got blacklisted for one year. Most importantly, he nearly died after taking a rageful punch from Montel.

How he survived was a miracle, but afterward, he had to spend his entire saving to recover and survived in the wilderness for a year.

It was also that time when this mysterious person approached him and offered him a job for protection because he was famous for his tracking skills.

But he had to sign a loyalty contract which was as good as a slave contract, and as long as he remained in the uncommon dark city, he can't hide or broke the contract.

In the end, Chad had no choice since he was in dire need of help, and most of the residents of the Dark City weren't willing to do business with him because of the Giants and his blacklisted status.

From that day on, he was working for this mysterious person while he hated the giants and Decker's killer to the bone since they were the ones who were the main reason for his miserable life.

However, not even in his dreams, he thought that the mysterious killer would appear again, and the killer even knew him!

"Y… Y-YOU…. Killed Decker???" He was gobsmacked and appalled as he looked at the masked figure stained in blood.

This was simply ironic that he finally met the culprit for his sufferings and he was completely helpless to resist!

Although he dreamed of meeting the bastard who ruined everything, now that dream has come true, it turned out to be a nightmare instead!

Jacob coldly replied, "I even ate him. It seemed you knew that bastard."

A chill ran down Chad's spine when he heard this, and his throat got dry. He hoarsely spoke, "I-It was because of his tribe that I was exiled from my tribe and had to run in this barren place. B-but I… I didn't mean to ruin your peace. It was those giants!"

He gritted his teeth in hatred. "They destroyed your place forcefully and then took everything. I even got wounded without getting anything in return except suffering and regret! If you spare m… coug…"

Before he could finish his deceitful speech, Jacob's blade was already flashed past his neck, and the next moment with widely open eyes his head was rolling on the ground.

Jacob scoffed at dismembered Chad. "I'll send those giants to accompany you soon!"

He never even thought of spearing Chad for a moment because this guy put his life in danger two times already, and it was unforgivable!

'Tap…tap…'

Suddenly, raindrops started to fall, before it poured hard within a few moments.

Jacob looked impassive as the blood washed away with rain. But actually, he was closely hearing his heartbeat at this moment.

'Even after all this combat and running, my heartbeat is still stable, and only my hunger is rising. It seemed the fluid acceleration is going to be hard to master. But I also don't have to worry about accidentally activating it now as long as I didn't encounter real danger.'

He merely smirked at the end because he knew after raising his body equal to his heart progress of 30%, he might not need to worry about the rare region at all.

Nevertheless, he wasn't arrogant enough to believe this delusion. He picked up the headless body and head and hurried back toward the cave. He was going to have a goblin feast tonight!

'Aghh…'

An anguish shrilled rang in the cavern before Mr. Observer opened his eyes, filled with pain, and with great difficulty, he lifted himself from the stone floor.

However, he nearly fell down with a daunted expression when he saw a small humanoid body skewered on top of a large fire.

But he was completely scared out of his wits when he saw a pile of bones beside a long silver hair person who still had a large crispy and charred leg piece in his hand and gobbling it down like a wolf.

Although he looked pleasing to the eyes, in Mr. Observer's eyes, he looked like a devil at the moment!

"So, you finally decided to wake up, huh?"

When Jacob's cold amber eyes fell on Mr. Observer, he felt an icy chill in his spine and instantly crawled backward.

"YOU… t-those b-bone…"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Heh, that's your boss. Although he was an ugly swine outside, he's 'much better' from the inside." Jacob's lips curled up into a devilish smile as he confirmed Mr. Observer's guess.

Mr. Observer's eyes were wild opened in horror as his back was now facing the wall, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. He was afraid that the devil will eat him as well.

Although he heard of some vicious species that ate intelligent species without caring about anything but seeing them with his own eyes was another experience.

"What? Feeling noxious just because I'm eating someone you know, heh?" Jacob sneered as he took a chunk of a mouthful of meat before he said, "In my eyes, you all are nothing but high-quality livestock… like you would think of any livestock."

Mr. Observer felt like fainting again, as he was terrified of Jacob now.

"Y-You… obscene devil!" An appalled shrill rang at this moment from the other side of the cavern.

It was the capped person, but now his face was fully revealed. Although its voice sound famine, it was actually a green face wizened old monster with a face full of wrinkles, sharp teeth, and a pointy nose. But the most noticeable thing about this person was a small horn on its bald head.

"You're from the Orc race, right? A Pine Orc." Jacob questioned without caring about the dreadful expression of Pine Orc.

"Just who are you? What are you doing in the uncommon region?!" The Pin Orc was completely frightened of Jacob right now.

He didn't understand why someone like Jacob would appear in the uncommon region-level Dark City. With his horrifying strength, he should have no problem staying in the rare dark city, even with a wanted title.

If they knew Jacob was a hidden monster, they would never even consider approaching him, much less coming after his wealth.

But they weren't to be blamed for this because Jerry failed to sense Jacob's danger with his unique danger sense. or nothing like this would've happened.

He also didn't recognize Jacob's kind, despite wrecking his brain, but one thing was clear now, Jacob's strength was on top of the food chain. He also had some 'unique ability' to hide his true strength even from a hobgoblin danger sense.

"Livestock won't ask questions." Jacob chuckled coldly before he threw the last bone on the pile.

After eating the entire hobgoblin's meat, he could feel his hunger was half subdued. and his body had returned to its masculine shape as well and he wasn't feeling any crazing hunger like before, but pure strength.

If he fought with Jerry again, he can now manhandle him like a rage doll!

"Now answer some of my questions. What is this?"

From the side, Jacob suddenly picked up a small glass vial, half filled with crystalline black liquid.

He found it on Pine Orc's neck hanging with a chain as if it was extremely precious to him, so this aroused his interest the most of all things he looted from the three.

The Pine Orc's eyes contracted, and his expression contorted when he saw the small vial in Jacob's hand as if his heart had torn apart. But he didn't want to answer the question.

However, his lips moved on their own at this moment. "It's Advance Uncommon Grade Titan Tears. It's an ancient elixir that can help any species below Epic Rank to break their limits with no hidden side effects. I was planning to take them after dealing with your matter."

Jacob's eyes narrowed when he heard this unexpected answer. While Pine Orc's eyes went wide in horror as he touched his forehead, which now had a deep wound.

He suddenly thought of the parasite gem they bring to enslave Jacob, he bellowed "Y-you enslaved me!"

Jacob was quite satisfied with this parasite gem, which made them talk as long as he used them with the bracelet on his wrist. He now owns both Pine Orc and Mr. Observer!

"So, this can help you break the limit, huh? Like a power upgrade?" Jacob looked at the small vial and Pine Orc's torn expression.

He suddenly had a bold thought and opened the vial before taking a tiny drop!

The moment the drop melted in his mouth, he suddenly felt a warm energy bomb explode on his tongue before it spread throughout his entire body!

Within a few seconds, Jacob felt his hunger decrease by five percent, and his eyes went wide as he looked at the small vial and the little liquid in it with disbelief!

Without caring about Pine Orc's appalled expression, he hurriedly asked with ecstasy, "This Titan Tears!? Explain how you come in contact with it and where is the recipe?!"
