Cursed Immortality



Jacob didn't react much to The Society Killer's wanton laughter, filled with a deep hatred for the Killer Skull Society. He wanted to ask why he had such a grudge against them but knew better than to pry into his matters, or this would give The Society Killer the reason to pry into his matters as well.

He stoically said, "Now, the last matter, in my last confrontation with the Killer Skull Society, I stumbled upon a unique space ring that is somehow locked. Do you have a way to open it?"

This was Jacob's true purpose all along to accept The Society Killer's call, but he got an unexpected gain.

"A locked space ring from a skull?" The Society Killer sounded surprised, "It appeared you had encountered an extremely high-ranking skull who had awakened its Mystic Signature!"

Jacob's eyes narrowed at this moment upon hearing 'mystic signature' because this wasn't the first time he heard this term, but Immortika had mentioned it once when it was explaining about Autarch.

But like always, it had left the explanation for Jacob to figure out, and now that The Society Killer had mentioned it again, he knew this mystic signature was a pretty big deal.

"Can you explain what this Mystic Signature is?" He asked shamelessly without having any qualms about his ignorance anymore.

But The Society Killer didn't answer this time right away; instead, he chuckled meaningfully and said, "Sir Ancient, the information about Mystic Signature is top class, and only a handful of people know about it. This information wasn't included in our contract, and I don't want to misguide you. So, you have to give me something of equal value."

'This sly hypocrite!' Jacob scoffed in his heart as he already knew this guy wasn't as generous as he appeared to be. Nonetheless, he wanted this information since it would be helpful in the long term, and even if The Society Killer was exploiting him, he didn't have another source to pry out such a piece of information.

If this information was really top-class, then this was his best chance of getting it.

Jacob then thought for a moment before his eyes brightened with a dark glint as he replied, "Fair enough; how about if I give you the Star ID of the Epic Plains' Killer Skull Society overseer? Will this be sufficient to exchange for Mystic Signature information?"

The moment Jacob said those words, The Society Killer reacted strongly, "Wait! Do you really have that bastard's ID?!"

Jacob's lips curled up as from his words. He had already guessed that this guy didn't know about Apocalyptic-S at all. He didn't even know her gender. But Jacob decided to keep his mouth shut since this information was nothing he would give just because The Society Killer was being nice and all despite his enmity with the Killer Skull Society.

Jacob was saving it for exactly this sort of situation, and he never thought he would be using it so quickly.

Nevertheless, since this guy seemed extremely interested, agitate even, he knew just how much this information was worth for him, and he didn't mind sending this psychopath in that arrogant bitch's way.

"Of course, why do I lie to you about something like this? That person even tried to recruit me like the three leaders, and I'm pretty sure it was that leader of skulls since you could guess that my Star ID is not easy to reach by just anyone." Jacob confidently stated.

The Society Killer fell into silence for some time, and Jacob didn't rush him.

Then he finally spoke, "Hahaha, I had to admit you are indeed a deep person Sir Ancient. You have no idea how long I've been searching for that bastard S-0. Alright, you have convinced me, and this partnership is much more beneficial than I expected.

"To show my absolute sincerity and how appreciative I am, I'm sending you a file about Mystic Signature, which contains its introduction, formation, uses, and even a way to destroy it. In return, you will tell me that Star ID of that skull bastard, and you will have two more atomic grenades for free with the 11 others!"

Before Jacob could reply, he suddenly received a notification about The Society Killer sending him a file and was astonished by this guy's decisiveness.

'He didn't even wait for me to agree and sent this file? Is he that confident that I won't just block him afterward or go back on words, even giving him two extra atomic grenades?' Jacob felt ridiculous by this guy's gal, yet he knew he had no choice but to agree, and The Society Killer knows about it too well.

Because Jacob's current situation was like an open book for everyone to see, and his ignorance about this hidden information also proved that he wasn't that familiar with the epic plains.

Furthermore, who would in their right mind offend their biggest buyer as well as someone who seemed to know top-secret information?

All in all, The Society Killer knew Jacob would agree to his demand unless he didn't want this kind of information or his help with the killer skull society.

As the saying goes, in a world of wolves, a lone sheep was a meal. That's what Jacob was right now, and The Society Killer knew too well about it.

Jacob's killing intent rose as he remained silent for a moment before it vanished, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, "It's a deal, Mr. Killer. The Star ID of the skull leader is Apocalyptic-S, and it's a woman. She has a 2-Star privilege ID. As for your 13 atomic grenades, they'll be delivered in due time.

"Now, if you excuse me, I need to study this mystic signature. We'll talk some other time."

Jacob didn't wait for The Society Killer's reply and cut the call, but the next moment he received a message from him, 'Good luck!' and this made him chuckle in ridicule.

'Naïve…' Jacob thought before he opened the file of Mystic Signature!
