Chapter 555 A Dangerous Game
Jacob could sense this old man was at the peak of epic rank, so he wasn't worried. But he still pretended to be surprised as he coldly said, "Who are you?"
Sofie kept her mouth shut as she knew Jacob would handle it.New novel chapters are published on
Zodiac Night Guardian suddenly put on an amiable smile, bowed towards Jacob, and said in his elderly voice, "Mr. Faceless Ancient, you are really hard to get in touch with. Please forgive my crassness to meet you this way; I hope you won't judge me for this."
Jacob was surprised as he expected this guy to be arrogant, but he was quite polite so that he couldn't slap a smiling face. Still, he had already planned for this with Zoe, so he was ready.
"We'll see about that, won't we? How did you find me and know it was me?" Jacob asked coldly.
The Zodiac Night Guardian didn't mind Jacob's tone and said amiably, "We were looking for you, and Dark City is also under our radar. Since the Dark Marquis sent an escort to greet you, I don't think of anyone else but the famous Faceless Ancient to be worthy of such grandeur."
'They had eyes all over the place. Furthermore, they just guessed that it was me but weren't sure before, so they took the risk.' Jacob mused.
"You still don't tell me who you are?" Jacob asked again as this guy was avoiding this question.
"Didn't Dark Marquis tell you?" He asked smilingly.
"I still want to hear it since I don't work well with speculations," Jacob replied.
The Zodiac Night Guardian's smile grew as he nodded, "You are just as the legends described you. Let me formally introduce myself; I'm Black Moon Rank Zodiac Night Guardian from Zodiac Night Federation, Brogan!"
This was his plan to sow discord between the two organizations or whoever wanted the medallion. By making the Dark City his scapegoat, he would escape their watch. The Dark Duke will be helpless to take action against the Zodiac Night Guardians, while the same could be said for them.
Even if they found the truth in the future, it would be already too late for them to do anything to Jacob.
Brogan's smile vanished as he frowned after hearing Jacob's words, "Are you telling the truth?" It would be quite troublesome if it were really the case since the Dark City was on par with them and part of the neutral faction.
If it was three hegemonies who represented the life faction, maybe they could still think of a way to get the medallion because they were not as united as the Dark Cities.
"I don't have a reason to lie to you. This was also the point of my visit to the Dark City. I hope you guys won't make things hard on me. I'm just trying to survive in any way I can." Jacob sighed ruefully as if he was extremely helpless against these organizations.
Brogan looked deeply at Jacob and didn't find his expression fake; in the end, he nodded, "Since this is the case, sorry to waste your time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to report it back to my superiors. As for the positions of the three leaders, I have to apologize since we won't sell the information of our clients.
"I hope we don't have any reason to meet again, Mr. Jack, for both of our sakes. Farewell and safe journey."
Done saying he directly left without waiting for Jacob's reply. He was very displeased.
After confirming Brogan has left, Jacob snickered with derision, "He still leaves behind a threat. I guess I should add another enemy to my list. What a treacherous world."
Sofie didn't say anything and only sighed. She knew Jacob was playing a very dangerous game by tricking terrifying existences, but she didn't have any right to advise him and could only follow.
In the end, they both left!
