Chapter 143 Jacob’s Scheme
A few days later,
In the Earthen Kingdom, deep within the forbidden forest, black smoke could be seen rising from a newly built stone building.
Within this building was sitting Skull No. A-10000 inside a room watching a couple of Hob Trolls operating different equipment.
He shifted his eyes and looked at the stone table. There was a ten-liter glass jar more than half filled with pitch-black liquid.
His eyes shimmered with a hint of uncertainty. \'This Titan Tears elixir really had a miraculous effect on those mutants, and with half a litter, it could help them reach Common Tier-8. According to A-9999\'s observation, if the quantity of this would double, they could even reach Common Tier-9.
\'This is the effect of just the Basic Common Grade Titan Tears. There is still the Intermediate Common Grade Titan Tears Formula, which required Intermediate Grade Titan Iron and other auxiliary materials.
\'That elixir might be enough to make a common tier-9 species a peak common tier-12 species. If that bastard Faceless Ancient really had an Advance version of this elixir, it might be enough to help someone break into rare rank!\'
Greed surfaced in his eyes just thinking about it. The effect of Titan Tears was no longer a secret among the upper echelon of the Killer Skull Society.
While Skull No. A-10000 and A-9999 also found the miraculous effect of titan tears when used on those mutants.
That\'s why the society informed them to keep a tight lid on the matter, especially until they found that Faceless Ancient and confirmed if he really had higher-level Titan Tears formula in his possession or not.
Nevertheless, the cannibal plan was far more important, and to make sure nothing goes wrong within this period the society first \'clean\' the uncommon region from any more variables like the Faceless Ancient.
Only then they would widen their search toward other lands of common plains.
If even after then, they couldn\'t find the faceless ancient, then it meant that guy was far more capable than they thought and probably fled their detection.
However, at that time, even if Faceless Ancient alerted someone about their movement in this place, they would\'ve already achieved their goal before anyone would take it seriously.
After all, this place was a barren area, and no one cared much about it as long as it didn\'t affect them directly.
A-10000 watch a small pile of titan iron being processed into titan tears and smile, \'This is the last pile of titan iron present in this place, and this much titan tear is enough for the remaining first-generation cannibal to reach their peak and capability of reproduction.
\'Afterwards, I just have to pay a visit to the rare region and make intermediate common grade Titan Tears. It would make the progress faster, and we\'ll leave this place before anyone found out what we were doing…\'
"Boomm…."
Right at this moment, the closed door of the building blasted apart by a powerful force, startling everyone present.
"Who?!" A-10000\'s expression fell, and growled in rage, "Who dares to barge in, and what are those thralls doing outside, fucking each other?!"
At this moment, a figure appeared extremely fast wearing a long black jacket with a hood, and started killing the trolls with a single punch by blasting their heads into bits!
The moment A-10000 saw this figure and the outfit, his expression changed. When the hooded figure looked toward his direction, A-10000\'s eyes dilated, and his heart trembled when he saw that faceless black mask that had left a ghastly impression on him recently.
\'Faceless Ancient. He\'s here for revenge!\'
This abrupt thought surfaced in his mind, and without hesitation, he picked up the glass jar and ran toward the rear exit, and blasted the door with his body.
He was completely appalled by Faceless Ancient appearing here suddenly, and from his appearance, it didn\'t seem he was here for a friendly visit.
Moreover, A-9999 wasn\'t here to protect him either, so he had no choice but to run in the direction of the mines and hope those trolls could keep that guy occupied until he was deep within the mine\'s maze.
Those troll guards were already charging toward the building with bloodshot eyes to deal with this unexpected intruder, and A-10000 knew it was the only chance of survival.
Afterward, he just has to wait for A-9999 arrival and then call for those senior members sent by the society.
"Just wait, once those three arrive, I\'ll skin you alive!" He mumbled maliciously.
"Is that so?"
However, a nonchalant voice filled with ridicule made A-10000\'s heart palpitate because it was a very familiar voice.
Right at this moment, before A-10000 could react, a powerful fist struck behind his head, and which was akin to a sledgehammer, he felt a piercing pain before everything turned into darkness.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ The jar of titan tears also fell from his hand, but before it could land on the ground, a hand grabbed it.
"I\'ll take this gift." The jar suddenly vanished from this person\'s hand.
This attacker was naturally Jacob in his usual black outfit and his faceless black mask.
After he left the tyrant mansion a few days ago with Harrison. He headed directly into the earthen kingdom to find the traces of A-10000 and A-9999 and it wasn\'t hard to find them either.
Because it was quite clear that the Earthen Kingdom was controlled by the Killer Skull Society, which also means the royal family was under their control. So, all Jacob did was observe the royal castle, and it didn\'t take long before he noticed the unusual behavior of the royal family.
In the end, those trolls led him right to the prime minister, who also happened to be the same troll he encountered in the lion forest\'s underground lab. He easily identified him with his voice.
Afterward, Jacob just had to torture that fellow, and he told him about the whereabouts of A-10000 and A-9999 as well as what they were doing with those mutants.
However, he only knew those mutants were called cannibals by the Killer Skull Society and that they were part of the Cannibal Plan. As for the very goal of the cannibal plan, that troll didn\'t know, but he knows those mutants were extremely important to the cannibal plan.
But Jacob was little interested in this cannibal plan. He was here to collect some special hearts and blood.
So, he dealt with the prime minister and destroyed those parasite gem controllers, which would either kill those victims or make them vegetables. It would throw the entire Earthen Kingdom into chaos, which was just what he wanted.
Afterward, he directly came here to abduct A-10000 and gained some more information about A-9999 and the other members sent here by the society to deal with him.
More importantly, he wanted A-10000\'s heart and blood, which was a peak common tier-12, and it would give Jacob an enormous boost in his strength.
Jacob\'s entire plan was very simple from the moment he met with A-10000 and A-9999. He wanted to kill them both for their hearts and blood, especially A-9999, who was a Rare Tier-1.
Because once he absorbed these two, he would get a huge percentage in his heart\'s progress, which would normally take him many years and many more hearts and blood.
So, he decided to remain in the uncommon region as a human and see if he could really kill them and those sent after him by society.
Not only that, but he was planning on killing more species who were sent here by the three hegemonies after the humans alerted them with the information he provided that day.
He was going to keep killing while the blame would fall on the Killer Skull Society, and the society might suspect him first, but then they would have no choice but to turn their focus on the others since his prowess couldn\'t advance so much within this short period of time.
Even if they suspected him, they would have those enrage organizations to deal with first.
Although his plan was crazy, reckless even. But as long as he didn\'t leave behind any proof, who could blame it on him?
He was going to devour everything, much less leave anything behind as proof. He was going to turn this uncommon region into his hunting group until he was satisfied!
As for the natives, he cared less even if they were all exterminated in the crossfire between all these organizations.
At this moment, a figure approached Jacob at a fast speed before he halted his step just a meter away from him. He was dressed just like Jacob and wore the same mask; it was none other than Harrison!
Jacob was using Harrison as bait to see if A-9999 was here or not. In the end, she wasn\'t, so he acted before A-10000 could escape.
Poor Harrison did not know about it, nor Jacob was planning on telling him.
In Harrison\'s eyes, they were cleaning trolls, and Jacob was nurturing his fighting skills by letting him take the lead.
Jacob told Harrison, who looked at the unconscious cloaked A-10000 curiously,
"Pick him up. We\'re going back!"
