DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 137: A Deal
Jacob turned a deaf ear to Amanda's words.
Jacob didn't have the slightest sympathy for such a woman.
Seeing Jacob ignoring her, Amanda trembled all over and looked at Reed again.
"Reed... Well... Please... Please help me... Help me..."
Amanda was still panting when she spoke.
Her pity look gave Reed an aching feeling.
He suddenly understood why his father said that to him after learning that he was dating Amanda. Men would grow up after being with some women.
At that time, he thought that his father had agreed on the relationship between him and Amanda.
But now, he realized that his father didn't agree at all.
Reed suddenly seemed to have grown up at this very moment.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Jacob, "Mr. Reyes, wait for a moment please!"
Hearing Reed's words, Jacob stopped and turned to look at him. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Are you courting death?"
This sent a chill down Reed's spine. Although he was frightened by Jacob's aura, he still gritted his teeth and bit the bullet. "I don't dare. Mr. Reyes, you defeated Miyamoto Takeshi. Everyone in our country is so proud of you. I admire you so much. I just want to make a deal with you, Mr. Reyes."
Jacob raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest, "What kind of deal?"
Reed said in a hurry, "I once found an alchemy furnace in the antique market. It is said that an ancient alchemists once used it to refine the panaceas for immortality. Mr. Reyes, you are a martial artist. I think you will be interested."
Reed was the successor of the Holmeses. Although there were no martial artists in his family, Reed had a better understanding of martial arts than average men. He could tell that Jacob would be interested in what he offered.
As expected, Jacob's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"What do you want in exchange?" he asked.
A trace of pain flashed across Reed's face, but he calmed down immediately and said with respect, "I will show you the alchemy furnace first, Mr. Reye. If you are really interested, could you.... Could you help Amanda?"
Surprise flashed in Jacob's eyes. He had already transmitted all the dirty issues Amanda had done in the past to Reed's mind. He didn't expect that Reed would still be willing to help Amanda after learning the truth.
However, after hearing what Reed said about him, Jacob had a good impression of this man now.
Of course, he could tell that Reed didn't do this to take Amanda back, but do her a favor because of their past and have a clean breakup with her.
After Amanda heard this, her eyes lit up with happiness at once. "Reed, thank you..."
Hearing this, Reed clenched his hands tightly, but didn't look at Amanda again.
Jacob glanced at Amanda and nodded at Reed. "Alright!"
Amanda breathed a sigh of relief.
Jacob and Lena then checked in the hotel.
Meanwhile, Reed went home to take the alchemy furnace.
Amanda, however, still suffered from senility. She could only hide in a room of the hotel and wait for Reed.
"Mr. Reyes, this is the alchemy furnace. What do you think?"
Reed brought the alchemy furnace to the hotel after a while.
When he came close to Jacob with it, the Chaos Pearl in Jacob's body reacted again.
It even started to heat up.
Jacob was already filled with excitement now.
Even though he hadn't had a clear look of the alchemy furnace.
The last time the Chaos Pearl had such a reaction, he got the materials for his Purgatory Sword.
After Reed took out the alchemy furnace, Jacob was attracted by it immediately.
He took the alchemy furnace then.
This alchemy furnace was only the size of a palm and it looked exquisite.
The body was engraved with the four guardian spirits of cities, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Jacob opened the lid and a very faint medicinal smell came from the inside.
Average men were unable to smell it, but Jacob could notice it immediately.
Excitement was burning in Jacob's eyes.
Obviously, this alchemy furnace hadn't been used for years.
However, there was still a bit of medicinal smell after he opened the lid. This meant that this alchemy furnace was not an ordinary one, and the elixirs had infiltrated into it already. Then Jacob looked inside the alchemy furnace. There were carvings of mythical auspicious creatures, like Qilins, Taotie, Pixiu, and so on.
They were true to life!
Jacob put some power of chaos into the alchemy furnace, and then the carvings of all those creatures seemed to come alive.
A powerful roar came out of the alchemy furnace.
Jacob trembled all over.
The alchemy furnace contained the Grand Sound of Tao.
Was this...
Was this an alchemy furnace of the divine stage?
With that thought, Jacob even began gasping.
His eyes lit up.
What was an alchemy furnace of the divine stage?
In his previous life, Jacob's cultivation was not only unparalleled, but he was also a genius in matrixes and techniques.
He mastered panacea-refining, alchemy, and formations.
Especially, he was excellent in panacea-refining.
In his previous life, Jacob was the Emperor of the Dark Realm, whose cultivation was incomparable, and he was the best of the best. However, he only possessed an alchemy furnace of the holy stage. There were only a few alchemy furnaces of the divine stage in the entire universe. They all belonged to the super powers that had existed for even more than one hundred thousand years. Those powers were the masters of panacea-refining.
Jacob checked the alchemy furnace several times, and he was completely sure about it.
This alchemy furnace was definitely better than one of the holy stage. Even if it wasn't one of the divine stage, it was a rare treasure.
Jacob tried to control his excitement and looked at Reed. He nodded and said, "I'm very satisfied with this alchemy furnace."
After saying that, Jacob stretched out his hand and made a flick. Then a ball of light rushed into Amanda who was behind Reed. Changes happened to Amanda's face immediately.
Her wrinkles disappeared and her skin became fair, tender, and smooth.
And her grey hair gradually turned black.
After a few seconds, Amanda returned to her original state.
When he looked at the scene, Reed's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Meanwhile, his admiration for Jacob grew again.
In the blink of an eye, Jacob could take away someone's youth, and he could give it back with a snap. It was just like what would happen in a myth.
When Amanda saw that she had recovered, delight was written all over her face.
The hatred in her eyes flashed and she look up at Jacob at once. "Thank you."
Jacob sneered and ignored her.
Amanda did not dare to complain at all.
Then she looked at Reed. Now that she was young and beautiful, Amanda regained her confidence.
However, Reed did not look at Amanda anymore. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Since you are alright now, you can just leave."
Amanda said with a pitiful look, "Reed, I..."
However, before she finished, Reed interrupted her, "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Don't make it difficult for both of us! Just leave with dignity."
Amanda gritted her teeth, a trace of hatred flashing through her eyes.
She knew that it was impossible for her to be with Reed anymore.
Moreover, with Jacob here, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She had to hide her hatred well first. Before she left, she put on a look that she was reluctant to break up with Reed. After Amanda left, Jacob said, "Are you interested in martial arts?"
Reed was stunned. He didn't expect that Jacob would ask that. However, he shook his head.
Facing Jacob's offer, who was an excellent martial artist, Reed still didn't have much interest in martial arts. After all, he had another ambition.
Jacob accepted his refusal calmly. At first, he planned to help Reed become a martial artist of the Divine Realm in return for the alchemy furnace.
But since Reed was not interested in it, Jacob gave up and said, "I've helped Amanda as you asked, and here are three panaceas for you as my gift."
Jacob handed Reed a small bottle with three small Resurrection Panaceas in it.
"The three elixirs inside can cure any illness or injury. As long as a man is still breathing, one little pill can save him back to health. What's more, a Resurrection Panacea can make one live a hundred years."
Jacob said.
Hearing this, Reed was petrified.
Was there such a panacea in the world?
However, after witnessing Jacob's super power, Reed felt it possible.
"Well, I only asked for one thing in exchange before."
Although Reed really wanted to take the little bottle, he couldn't persuade himself to accept such a great gift.
Seeing the apology in his face, Jacob had a better impression of him. "This alchemy furnace is very useful for me, and you deserve it. However, you must keep those panaceas a secret. Do not take it out unless the ones you care the most are in danger."
Reed knew well why Jacob would say so. He nodded and accepted the panaceas. If what Jacob said about the Resurrection Panacea was true, it would bring a catastrophe to him and his family.
Then Jacob continued, "Apart from the elixirs, I will introduce you to the ten great families. You can work with them in business in the future."
When he heard this, Reed's eyes widened with surprise. "Really?"
Jacob even knew the ten great families?!
Jacob nodded. To him, it was just a piece of cake.
However, Jacob was still the one who got much more benefits from this deal.
What Jacob didn't tell Reed was that even after he left the earth, Reed would enjoy wealth forever with his help.
He would let the Holmeses flourish forever!
This was in return for the alchemy furnace of the divine stage!
After Amanda left, the resentment in her eyes finally erupted.
"Jacob, I must kill you!"
Amanda gritted her teeth.
No matter how terrifying Jacob was, as long as she didn't come into contact with him, what could he do to her?
Her everything in the Riverside City and City R had been destroyed by Jacob.
Moreover, Jacob even treated her like that today.
The hatred towards Jacob grew crazily in Amanda's heart.
Night Cat Bar.
"Mr. Rojas, a hot chick wants to see you. She's quite a looker. I'll bring her in now!"
A man with three scars on his forehead was resting in the lounge on the third floor when a young man suddenly walked in and reported with a smile on his face.
The man was Kareem Rojas. The three scars on his forehead were because of a furious fight in the past. Everyone knew him addressed him Mr. Rojas, and his subordinates also called him Mr. Rojas.
Hearing that, Kareem's eyes lit up.
"Well, take the girl in!"
The young man left with a big grin. It seemed that his boss was also interested.
Then, he gestured toward the outside and a hot woman walked in.
Her every action was charming and sexy.
"Mr. Rojas, there's a deal. I wonder if you're interested."
As she asked, she tried her best to show off her body after coming in.
When Kareem saw her, his eyes lit up.
"What's the deal?"
"To kill a man!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
