Chapter 142 Do You Want To Be Silver Tyrant?

Somewhere in the zodiac plains,

In a dimly lit room, a being with a black horn was kneeling in front of a blurry projection.

An aged voice sounded at this moment, "I contact you for an urgent matter, that could only be handled by you guys. For obvious reasons, we can't get involved in matters of this place."

The kneeling being said nothing and remained silent, and continued to listen attentively.

"Send some people to the outer common plain. The Killer Skull Society is doing something there, and their target happened to be our branch, so make sure to make it clear. Also, migrate our branch into the central common plains with our other branch in that place without notice of anyone.

"This one seemed more promising than that one, and once they have star network assistance, they might have the potential to cross the common plains.

"Make sure no one found any connection with us, and as for the branch in the central plains, tell them to take care of this branch like their own people.

"Just to be on the safe side, wipe the entire outer common plains, including the dark city there, and put the blame on Killer Skull Society.

"Since they dared to touch our people, they should suffer the consequences!"

The being solemnly nodded. "I'll personally arrange everything!"

At the border river between the uncommon and rare regions,

A small black ship without sails was moving on the opposite of the water current without any resistance or air.

The black ship docked at the side of the uncommon region lands, and three cloaked figures disembarked this black ship.

Two of them were over two meters tall, while one of them was only two feet tall and walking with a small white beanpole in his pale green hand, which only had three sharp fingers with long nails.

"Alright maggots, since we didn't find our target in the marked area, he should still be hiding in this place somewhere. We'll separate into north, west, and south and slowly circle toward the east, which is our last destination.

"That maggot won't be able to remain hidden if he is still on this side of the river. If you found anyone suspicious, kill them. We also can't rule out the dark city. Use your authorities to check who had entered or exited in these past six months and then kill them all.

"Inform maggot A-9999 of our arrival and tell her the cannibal plan is the priority. She can leave this little maggot to us. We'll be there in eight or ten months to scan that area." The short person spoke in his cold, husky tone, filled with authority.



He was clearly in charge among them.

At this moment, Jacob sat with an expressionless face while Harrison was reporting the events that transpired while he was not present.

It had been five months since King Philip and the others had visited him, and besides some trivial things, nothing changed much. The uncommon region returned to peace after the war ended.

However, Jacob knew it wasn't the case at all.

Because half a month ago, Alice returned from the Aureate Kingdom and reported something unexpected. She told Jacob that some strange humanoid beasts had appeared in the Aureate Kingdom three months ago, and they were killing goblins and eating them in mass.

Furthermore, these strange beasts were almost impossible to kill, and each time they kill and fed, they come back stronger and stronger.

Right now, half of the goblin's kingdom was killed by these vicious beasts, and they look quite helpless against them.

But the strange thing was these beasts remained in the Aureate Kingdom and didn't move in Earthen Kingdom's direction as if they had some kind of grudge against goblins and wanted to kill them all.

Not only that, but the trolls were silently watching and any kind of plea for help was ignored by the trolls despite their friendly relationship for centuries.

If Alice didn't have B-rank strength, she might've not returned and instead discovered by those beasts or trolls when she was returning.

When Jacob heard this, he was naturally shocked, and then he thought about the mutant again. He was sure that the blood collection had something to do with the mutant creation.

However, he wasn't in the least bit angry by this. On the contrary, he was thrilled because if those mutants were like the last one, then he could collect their heart and blood and increase his strength again!

Jacob felt his decision to stick around was really wise, although the mutants were unexpectedly surprised by it didn't change anything. It made Jacob want to head there and start hunting those mutants.

But he knew he couldn't be hasty with this, and this was just a trivial benefit in the face of what he truly wanted.

He then gave Alice ten drops of titan tears since she still had her uses and sent her on another secret mission.

Although she was curious about how Jacob knew this would happen, she didn't question him and left happily after taking the Titan Tears. As for if she could achieve an A-rank after consuming them, only she knows.

Harrison didn't know this, he only knew Alice was sent on some mission by Jacob, and that's it. He also wanted to show his worth, so he also worked hard and learned combat while Jacob was away and collected any information that could interest Jacob.

Today Jacob finally came out, and he quickly appeared to make his report.





However, Jacob seemed uninterested in these reports.

"Alright, this is enough." Jacob stopped him and deeply looked at Harrison, "I heard some mercenaries whispering the other day that you killed three mercenaries while sparing?"

Harrison's eyes dilated as his heart palpitated, and quickly kneeled and pleaded, "My lord, it wasn't my fault. It was just an accident, and those guys were the ones who wanted to spar with me."

Jacob's lips curled up and mocked, "Lying, huh? Well, it doesn't matter. They were expendable, to begin with. Even if you kill them all, it doesn't matter to me. We can always get more. I just want to know how much are you confident in winning against other B-rank mercenaries?"

Harrison felt cold sweat forming on his forehead when Jacob saw through his lies but didn't seem to care, which give him some comfort.

He quickly replied with extreme confidence, "I can crush them now, my lord, just give your words!"

Jacob nodded and coolly stated, "Good, send that second vice leader of tiger's den in. I want to have words with him. You go prepared, we're leaving tonight on a mission, and I required your assistance. If you did well, you'll get more black liquid as a reward."

Harrison was startled for a moment before his eyes shimmered with ecstasy. He quickly thanked Jacob for giving him a chance to prove himself and left to fetch Shooter, the second in command of the tiger's den.

Jacob didn't have to wait long before a skinny middle-aged man with fear in his eyes entered the room, and Harrison left afterward to prepare for the mission.

Jacob looked at the skinny man, who seemed to have suffered torturous beatings from his appearance. He said, "Do you want freedom?"

Shooter's listless eyes quickly showed a hint of light as he finally looked at Jacob, who had this faint smile on his face, but he whiffled his head and fell to his knees.

"I-I... I'm very happy as I am. Thank you for your generous offer, my lord."

He didn't dare to say yes. He thought it was Jacob's trick to see if he still had any thoughts of rebellion.

Furthermore, he had been the target of Harrison's beating for a few days, and he finally felt the mining was far easier than sparing with Harrison, who was sadistic and liked to torture them.

They all thought it was Jacob who commanded Harrison to teach them a lesson in his place.

Jacob looked at the trembling Shooter with no expression and coolly stated, "I'm going to leave this mansion tonight, and I won't be coming back, so you guys will naturally be freed. However, I want you to pretend to be me for two years. You can do anything under the name of Silver Tyrant, but for two years, you can't abandon this identity. What do you think?"

Shooter was again staggered when he heard this and couldn't help but asked in a quavering voice, "W-why?"

Jacob chuckled, "My goal was never to live here forever, and when the time was right, I would've left, just like now. But my sudden disappearance might not be a good thing. So, I want someone to take over my identity as the Silver Tyrant.

"Since Harrison is leaving with me, you are the only person with enough power and ability to handle those mercenaries, and they won't reject you either.

"As long as you play well, you can forever be the Silver Tyrant, living comfortably here with all those beauties and even collecting inducement from nobles who wanted to have a close relationship with Silver Tyrant."

Jacob looked at the dazed Shooter and temptingly asked again, "So, do you want to be Silver Tyrant?"
