Chapter 672 - Blown Up

"But do you think your best friend could manage the Robin Hood Society without saying sorry to your every victim." Jack Ogden snickered. "I doubt that. She is just too soft-hearted that knows only how to take care of herself and needed the protection of four men. Alexander was a fool not to train her to become the leader of the Robin Hood Society. That was his mistake. Now his heiress knows nothing except for warming a man's bed."

Jacob seethed internally. He could take in any insult for him but when someone insult J he would suddenly boil in rage. If he has poor self-control, he might have buried a bullet in the old man's head. But he has better way to keep anyone from insulting or harming his wife.

"James," Jacob called James solemnly.

"Yes, Dr. Jacob," James replied and as if he could read Jacob's thought, he take out his phone and made a call. "Do it." He said over the phone then he eventually hanged up.

Alex keeps on glaring at Jacob because he knows that he is up to something while Jacob's eye were fixed on Jack Ogden. If looks could really kill, Jack Ogden might've died a hundred times already on his seat.

Then just after a minute, the air filled with tense was interrupted by a phone ringing. It was Jeric's phone.

Jeric immediately had a bad feeling about it. He takes out his phone and answered. His eyes widened then he pressed his lips in a thin line before he said, "I got it." Then he hanged up.

Jeric walked towards Alex and whispered something on his ear. Alex looked at Jacob with his signature smirk.

"A missile, huh?" He scoffed.

Everyone looked at him wondering what he meant. Thou James and Jacob knows exactly what he meant.

"What are you talking about?" Jack Ogden asked in an annoyed tone.

"They blow up our warehouse in Astilbe." Alex said nonchalantly without taking his eyes off Jacob. Their warehouse in Astilbe is one of the warehouse where they hide their smuggled firearms before it is transported overseas.

Thou it was not their largest warehouse, it holds a significant role in their transactions because it is where the firearms are stored before it is shipped via aircraft. Their warehouse in Astilbe holds a small runway for small aircrafts.

Apparently, ever since Jacob has known of Troy's capabilities, he remained in constant contact with him. He found out that Troy has developed a drone that could launch a missile. And not just a missile, with Stefan's help, they managed to create a small yet fast and powerful missile.

And it just made its debut just now. Thou small, the missile managed to blast off part of Novus Rex's warehouse in Astilbe, the fact that the warehouse is filled with firearms and ammunitions, the explosions created a domino effect. The explosives and ammunitions inside the warehouse fired off as well creating a much bigger explosion.

"You son of a bitch!" Jack Ogden clenched his fist and glared at Jacob.

Jacob cocked his head. "I guess you better watch your words Jack Ogden because the next time you insult my wife again, your laboratory in Crocus will be blown up next. What do you say?" Jacob said in an intimidating tone.

The laboratory in Crocus is where Novus Rex perform organ procurement illegally to be sold in the black market.

Although Alex was disappointed that they lost one warehouse he cannot blame Jacob. His grandfather insulted J and he would do the same if not worst than what Jacob did even thou it was his grandfather. He cannot let it slide when someone insults the woman that has taken his interest which no one has ever did before.

Elder Parker shook his head. "Such an impatient brute."

"Have you had enough of that shipwreck champagne, grandfather?" Jacob turned to look at Elder Parker not minding that he called him an impatient brute.

"Yes, and I am immensely grateful to my old friend here for letting me have a taste of such rare champagne." Elder Parker looked at Jack Ogden with appreciation thou the latter was casting him a glare that says he should've given him poison instead.

"Then I guess we have no reason to stay here any longer. My wife is waiting for me." Jacob said in an icy tone. He stressed the word 'wife' while looking at Alex as if it is a word that only he is allowed to say.

"Why are you such in a hurry, Jacob? We haven't reach an agreement." Alex commented.

"Having Jenny as a wife makes me always eager to go home. But I guess you'll never understand how I feel. You'll never have her as a wife, unless you find someone like her. But I doubt that, my Jenny is a very special person. One can never be compared to her." Jacob said making Lance rolled his eyes internally. How could a person talk so fondly about a person while casting an icy glare to the person in front of him? There is still that anger that is bubbling inside of him because of the possibility that the Parkers have evil intentions towards J and the Robin Hood Society.
