Chapter 128 Tiger’s Den
Samuel was one of four B-Rank Mercenaries of the Humane Kingdom and enjoyed status as high as a Duke of the kingdom.
Unlike most people, Samuel\'s family was an Earl Rank Family, and with their support, he joined Star Mercenary Agency. He was extremely talented and ambitious.
In three decades, he finally broke into the ranks of B-Rank Mercenaries.
After he was granted his own fief close to the royal capital like other B-Rankers. He then made his mercenary group Tiger\'s Den into a self-sufficient company and started annexing talented mercenaries all around the kingdom into the company.
Unlike other B-Rank Mercenaries who wanted to live a carefree life, Samuel wanted to leave the uncommon region and head to the rare region to see the other side. But he didn\'t want to join the black knights despite the Marshal\'s personal invitation.
He likes freedom and the person being in control. So, he started to nurture his own team and wanted to make them all B-rankers, so their journey would become smoother.
He was extremely cautious and didn\'t dare to underestimate the path toward the rare region.
Everything was going great before this unjust war happened with the Earthen Kingdom and after experiencing the troll kingdom\'s prowess himself. He knew it was hopeless for the Humane Kingdom.
So, like others, he retreated into the Gloria Contrary in the sham of a fake injury.
Furthermore, from his company informers, he found one of the four C-Rank Mercenary Team under him had a vast mansion in the Lionheart City, which was close to the Rainy Mountain Ranges.
So, he instantly went there and summoned every C-Rank Team there as well.
He was planning to bring everyone into the Rainy Mountain Rages to raise his own survival chances when he traveled toward the Rare Region.
However, when he came this morning, he found out some punk used a strange trick to scare the mercenary team under his company and \'captured\' the mansion.
Which made him and other members of Tiger\'s Den\'s dominant team infuriated, and with over 100 members in tow, Samuel barged into the mansion with killing intent.
He let loose a deafening roar, "Bastard, come out!"
Every member behind him was holding cold weapons and firearms.
Amid this group was a team of eight. Their expressions were filled with lingering fears as they looked at the mansion with uncertainty.
These eight were naturally the ones who Jacob scared silly into peeing in their pants and made them flee despite didn\'t want them to.
They were called the Fiery Lake Mercenary Group, a famous C-Rank Mercenary group that joined the Tiger\'s Den a few years ago and become more famous.
Their leader was a brown-haired woman with a fiery temper. Everyone called her Fiery Lake because of her enthralling beauty and fiery temper.
But that bold, fiery look couldn\'t be seen in Fiery Lake\'s beautiful eyes anymore. As she vividly remembered what happened last night.
However, she was still uncertain about what happened at that time, even though she believed that silver head man tricked them and made a fool of themselves.
But she was still fearful for some reason, and if not for Samuel\'s presence, she would never return here, even if she was uncertain about the last night\'s events.
At the very front, a 6\'1 tall burly man donned skin-tight armor, and two battle axes attached to his back were coldly looking at the mansion with his black eyes. His square bronze skin face, with short black hair, gives him a handsome look. He was Samuel, a B-Rank Mercenary and Boss of Tiger\'s Den Company!
"Whose dog is barking in the wee hours?" A sulky voice rang at this moment before the mansion\'s door opened. Jacob appeared wearing an unbuttoned white shirt and black pants.
When the ladies in the group saw Jacob\'s appearance and his tone-ripped pale body, their eyes lit up. He was hundreds of times more handsome than Samuel.
A long black hair woman was standing right behind Samuel. It was as if she was carved out of flawless snow-white jade. Her slim and supple waist was exposed slightly under her tight, soft armor. Despite that armor, her towering chest and sexy exposed collarbone were a sight to behold.
With a height of 6 feet, she looked completely out of place, as if she was placed in a group of swine. She was no doubt the most beautiful woman in this group and aloof.
She was the vice president and vice-captain of Tiger\'s Den; Alice. She was very close to entering the B-Rank.
Alice was quite interested in the person who dared to chase out the members of Tiger\'s Den and still didn\'t run.
However, when she heard Jacob\'s arrogant words, she instantly thought this was some idiot who didn\'t fear death or didn\'t know who he was messing with.
But now that she saw him, even she had to admit he was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. She was a duke\'s heir, and she met with princes; they weren\'t Jacob\'s match.
\'He\'s going to die… it\'s a pity he\'s a fool,\' She thought coldly when she was Samuel trembled when he heard Jacob\'s words.
Samuel has a hideous expression after being called a dog by this pretty boy, and now he\'s showing off his body while pretending he doesn\'t exist. It intensified his killing intent.
Especially when he felt Alice\'s gaze. He already considered Alice his personal property and someone only he could court, so now it was personal.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "Since you dare to snatch my thing, I\'ll send you on your way." Samuel coldly uttered while he moved his hand toward the axes on his back.
Jacob\'s expressions were impassive as he looked at Samuel and let him draw his axes.
"How about this? I\'ll take one of your arms because of the disturbance you just caused." Jacob uttered as if he was giving an absolute verdict.
Harrison and the other servants watching this drama were gobsmacked by Jacob\'s words, as did everyone else.
A skinny guy with revolvers in his hand bellowed while pointing his gun at Jacob, "Boss, let me rip off his sharp tongue for you!"
He was Shooter, another vice-captain of the Tiger\'s Den mercenary group.
"Heh, Vice-Captain, don\'t you see the boss\'s expression? He\'s going to chop that guy into mincemeat. Just enjoy the show." Another member of the tiger\'s den sneered darkly.
Alice remained expressionless while she looked at Jacob with uncertainty in her watery emerald eyes.
"DIE!" Samuel roared as he charged at Jacob with 80 MP/h speed and hacked his axe toward Jacob\'s shoulder with an icy smile. He now wanted to make Jacob beg for death, not kill him directly.
Jacob was also unarmed, which made him even bolder, and he didn\'t feel any kind of danger from Jacob, or he won\'t charge like this.
Although it looked like Samuel was rash, the fact was, he had already probed Jacob\'s prowess in his behavior. Well, in his mind, at least.
However, what happened next made everyone\'s jaw drop in the group.
\'Thud…\'
Samuel\'s axe suddenly landed right between Jacob\'s index and middle finger and was stuck then and there!
Samuel\'s eyes went wide as his face started to turn pale when he comprehended what had just happened. He tried to retrace his axe, but it didn\'t even budge.
He quickly used the second axe to chop down on Jacob\'s forearm. Furthermore, he wanted to cut it off.
However, to his surprise, Jacob didn\'t even move his finger to black it and let it land on his forearm.
But what happened next made Samuel and everyone watching gobsmacked with horror!
They saw the axe powerfully land on Jacob\'s forearm, and it should be enough to chop his arm off, but not only his arm was as sturdy as ever, but the blade only cut his shirt and barely grazed his skin.
"Is that all?" Jacob\'s snide voice sounded, sending chills down everyone\'s spine while making Samuel scared silly.
Samuel finally understand at this moment that Jacob wasn\'t an idiot, but he was!
From the start to finish, Jacob didn\'t show any fear. It wasn\'t because he didn\'t know about him, or he had a screw loss on his head, but Jacob didn\'t consider him a threat at all. He was probably like a child throwing a tantrum in Jacob\'s eyes.
Appalled, "Wh-who are…" before he could speak another word, Jacob\'s other hand moved like a blur at this moment. and grabbed Samuel\'s other shoulder.
Jacob coldly uttered, "I\'ll be taking this arm as I said."
Before Samuel could struggle, he felt gripped by an iron claw, and the next moment, "Ahhhhhhhhhh…"
His blood-curdling, hysteric shrill rang and was heard by the entire lion street.
The mercenaries of the tiger\'s den witness a ghastly sight with pale faces at this moment.
Their valorous leader\'s hand was torn like a rag doll by this terrifying guy. and blood flowed like a small fountain from Samuel\'s mangled shoulder while he was screaming in pain like a pig!
