Cursed Immortality



Within the pugilist giants' villa, the atmosphere was quite gloomy as two giants sat in the hall.

The male giant name, Frugal gloomily spoke, "Something is not right. We should change our hideout."

"Hmm, it's been three days since we sent the letter to the Dark Mistress, yet she hadn't approached us at all. Furthermore, there are far more patrolling guards than usual. Since they didn't come here, at least our cover is not blown yet.

"Let's wait another day before leaving. There might be something important that binds the Dark Mistress for now. But if she doesn't show up tomorrow, let's leave this city and head towards the core region directly." The female giant name, Aven, stated.

"Alright…" Frugal was about to say something when suddenly a bell rang, alerting both of them.

Aven looked vigilantly at the door and said, "A 1-Star Epic Core?"

Frugal's eyes also shimmed in a faint gray light before he relaxed a bit, "He's alone. Do you think someone sends him?"

"Heh, let's find out." Aven chuckled darkly before she stood up and headed towards the door while Frugal remained in his position.

They both could easily tell that the other party was a mere epic-tier-1, and such a person was akin to an ant in their eyes. Furthermore, they hadn't rented a villa with a security system because they were extremely confident in their strength.

That's why whoever this was, he was able to reach their door easily.

At this moment, a cloak appeared over Aven's slender figure and her face before a mask appeared. Only then did she open the door!

When the door opened, a barbarian appeared there with scars on his tattooed face. It was none other than Jacob!

Jacob looked at the tall, cloaked giant, and he could feel a faint threatening aura from her, 'She's way too powerful for me…' He thought as he became even more careful about how to proceed from this point on.

Aven also gauged Jacob and instantly lost interest when she confirmed this barbarian only had just a 1-star epic magic core.

"Are you lost, little guy?" Aven coldly questioned while she faintly released her magic aura.

Jacob felt a chill down his spine, but he maintained his calm and coldly replied, "I am here because of this."

Then he flipped his hand, and a letter appeared, which instantly caught Aven's attention, and her eyes widened ever so slightly. Without even waiting for Jacob, her hand moved like a blur, and the next moment, the letter was in her hand.

Jacob was even astonished after experiencing Aven's movement. Truth be told, he didn't even notice until the letter was already leaving his hand.

'So, this is a powerhouse of the Epic Plains. Furthermore, the giants are at the top of the hierarchy of the epic plains, and I can imagine why.' Jacob gravely thought.

Furthermore, now he was worried because the move he had just played was extremely dangerous, and if things went south, he might not even get the chance to use his retaliation plan.

Nevertheless, he knew he couldn't back down now and remain on full alert while Aven did confirm the letter's contents.

She then looked at Jacob, but with naked killing intent as she questioned, releasing her suffocating aura, "Where do you get this letter?"

At this moment, Frugal's cloaked figure appeared beside Aven, and then he glanced at the letter and was astounded when he saw it was the same letter they sent Dark Mistress three days ago!

Now, Jacob was bearing an insane amount of pressure from both giants, and their bloodlust was covering his very being, giving him goosebumps. He never felt so alarmed and terrified before. It was like death was staring right at his face, and with just a single mishap, he will fall into death's embrace.

However, for some reason, deep within Jacob's heart, he felt a strange excitement arousing from this deadly situation. This was completely out of his expectation since it had never happened before, not to mention this feeling was also giving him bone-chilling calmness, which increased his calculation ability tremendously!

Bearing that pressure, he replied with an icy tone, "You two incompetent shits, dare to ask me why this letter is with me?"

Both giants were startled by Jacob's unexpected reply, and he didn't seem to be bothered at all by this pressure, which made them baffled and vigilant all of a sudden.

"Quite a foul mouth for an ant! Do you think I can't get the information out of you and make you wish you were never born in this world?" Aven coldly threatened as her eyes shimmered in a gray glow.

But to her surprise, Jacob was still looking right into her eyes without any fear, and the next moment, he pulled a strange pale smile.

"Ant, you say? Heh, first, you two fools dare to use the organization's name without prior permission, putting not only yours but even higher-up identities at risk. Then you two idiots didn't even investigate why no reply has come and sit on your massive asses and waiting for your maker?

"Last but not least, you two didn't capture me when you two saw the letter in my, some unknown fellow's hand and instead questioned me right in the open? What if my forces were surrounding this entire villa, and I was just waiting for you to bite the bait by simply admitting this letter belonged to you?

"You fucking morons didn't even bother denying it for a moment that it didn't belong to you just because you sense that I'm weak? Now, tell me how I should punish you two on behalf of the organization!" Jacob's words were icy and said without even a sliver of doubt or weakness.

This exact attitude gave both giants a strange feeling, and this weak person turned into a mystery. Furthermore, from his confident tone, as he reprimanded them, they became even more sure that this person might be someone who belonged to their organization.

The moment this doubt appeared in their heart, they didn't dare to make any rash move, and this was the exact result Jacob was aiming for!
