The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

"That's the guy!" Gilbert extended his arm and pointed toward Jacob who was casually standing by the side. His seemingly simple gesture was full of detest.

Randy widened his eyes. He traced Gilbert's finger to the direction he was pointing at with murderous intent. "You must not care much about your own life huh? How dare you bully my bro…"

Soon as he locked eyes with Jacob, he was stumped, and his legs turned into jelly.

Ba-dam!

Randy fell down to his knees.

"What's wrong, bro?" Gilbert was shocked. It was rare for him to look at his brother from above.

"You… I can't even…"

Moments earlier, Randy was still baring his fangs, looking all fierce and menacing, but now his face was white as paper. His body was shaking violently, like a skittish prey that was about to be swallowed whole.

Jacob frowned slightly while staring at him. "Do you know me?"

"Know you… Of course not!" Gilbert was quick to deny, but the expression of his face had changed drastically.

Seeing his reaction, Jacob's gaze sharpened as well. "You do recognize me after all. At the bare minimum, you're aware of my identity, whereas for me, I have no recollection of ever meeting you."

Then, all of a sudden, something clicked in his mind. He was able to connect Richard's words to his own assumption.

Jacob strode toward Randy. There was an unusual gleam in his eyes. "Did we meet in the South? I've only visited once out of all these years…"

Little droplets of sweat began to form on Randy's forehead.

"Bro, what happened to you?" Gilbert grabbed his shoulders and nudged him a few times.

The two giants were keeping watch nearby with their bell-sized eyes. When Randy collapsed, one of them expressed his concern in a macho voice. "Boss, what's wrong? Is it the pain from your eternal injuries?"

Internal injuries?

Jacob was slowly putting the pictures together.

After exhaling slowly, he put on a solemn face. "Tell me, why do you look afraid when you see me?"

"I…" Randy took a gulp. Only fear remained on his face.

His subordinates finally caught on to the situation. They realized Randy's unusual behavior was somehow related to the young man standing before them. They were compelled to act out of loyalty. The man on the left was staring daggers at Jacob. Using his long arm span, he started reaching for Jacob. "What did you do to our boss?"

Jacob shot him a glance. By casually flicking his wrist, he delivered a surge of invisible force toward the man. The man's eyes popped when he felt the torrent. His body was tossed a few meters back.

Two-hundred kilograms of flesh and bones came crashing down into the crowd. Some of the unlucky bystanders had their wind knocked out of them. After reassessing the situation, the crowd decided to move a few meters back for their own safety.

The space in front of the vegetable stall was quickly being emptied out, leaving a few unconscious rascals behind.
