Chapter 724: No More Tricks!



In the Grand Chapel of the Cardinal Spirit Church, there was a majestic golden state of the Holy Justice God. It was a being with a blindfold wrapped around its eyes, and its majestic three pairs of wings were spreading above the sky. In its hands were a spear and a sword. A trace of unknown radiance was emitting from the statue of the Holy Justice God.

However, in this holy place that the Faery Humans were supposed to protect with their lives, an empty throne was sitting right on the same platform as the statue of the Holy Justice God, which was a complete blasphemy to the God's prestige since this throne on the same platform could very well mean that whoever sat on it would be equal to the Holy Justice God.

Consequently, the two cloaked people present in the chapel have the exact thoughts at this moment.

"What a daring fellow!" A melodious woman's voice rang from the tall, cloaked figure.

"Heh, you sounded impressed." The midget cloaked figure, Diminutive, sneered slightly with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"At least he has the guts to declare his intentions openly, unlike a certain coward." The woman, who was none other than Queen using a soul puppet, disdainfully retorted without a hint of fear.

"A hero died early, leaving behind a legend, while a coward lives to choreograph a legend." Diminutive chuckled coldly.

"Well said."

Before the Queen could retort, another cold yet impassive voice rang behind the high prayer platform, instantly drawing Diminutive and the Queen's attention.

From the secret entrance behind the platform, a giant figure wearing a hooded dark windbreaker entered the chapel and then directly jumped on the high platform and sat on the giant throne without even glancing at the grand statue behind him.

In fact, the radiance emitting from the statue makes the giant sitting on the golden throne look extremely holy with a touch of sinister air.

Not to mention, Diminutive was left speechless and couldn't comprehend what Jacob had said for a long time before it finally dawned on him, and his hidden expression warped a little. But before he could say anything, Jacob spoke again in a threatening tone, "If you want to test me come at me anytime instead of being a pimp. Don't test me with these paltry tricks, or trust me, until you start gathering blood for me, the contract is still valid.

"How about we cancel it, and you can come at me with your real body or try playing all the tricks in your book, and I'll show you what I got?

"Or, as you said, 'A hero died early, leaving behind a legend, while a coward lives to choreograph a legend.' But let me add something more: 'To choreograph a legend, the coward needs to be a king. 'So, tell me, goblin, are you a King?

Jacob's arrogant and overbearing words were like a thunderous declaration of might against Diminutive. He was bluntly putting him down and forcing him to take action, simply accept his defeat, or at least make his attempts to test him more discreet next time.

Because Jacob knew that if he didn't react in any way or play along with Diminutive, this guy would become daring with his lack of response, so taking an overbearing attitude was actually a good way to show that he wasn't afraid of him at all and instead wanted him to take action.

This way, a person like Diminutive would think even more carefully before messing with or trying anything funny, just like he did right now.

Another reason for doing it was, Veronica, he could clearly sense that these two weren't in sync at all, in fact, Veronica contained clear hostility against Diminutive, and after he put her up for show, Jacob even sense hidden killing intent appearing within her.

So, by taking her side while treating Diminutive like a dog, he was also earning himself a pawn right beside Diminutive.

"It seemed that my little joke greatly displeased Mister Crimson, so I apologized to you. I don't want anything to happen to our cooperation just because of this little joke of mine." Diminutive didn't lose his calm despite Jacob's clear act of provocation, despite the poison hidden deep within his icy cold eyes. He even changed his way of addressing Jacob.

'What a snake... but I had to admit, I had never seen him so rattled up by someone and completely helpless!' Veronica's eyes flashed with a hint of gloating as she felt extremely refreshed while her evaluation of Jacob raised by another level.

However, despite Diminutive retreating and deciding to bid his time to strike at another appropriate situation, all of this doesn't matter anymore to Jacob.

Jacob was now at ease against Diminutive all because of Nyx's awakening. Now, even if Diminutive had tricks up his sleeves, he was completely at Jacob's mercy!
