Chapter 394 The Troubles of A ve (2)
Sofie''s eyes narrowed coldly after hearing Jacob''s rude remark, but she didn''t refute it as Jacob was just stating the fact. He had hired her for her skills, and this could only be applied when she did everything herself. If a new pair of hands meddle, then it will be lost its meaning.
"Who do you think you are!" The grouchy disciple of Sofie''s named Daisy finally couldn''t take the barbarian''s aloof attitude. Everyone revered her master, and she also received everyone''s respect wherever she went, yet today, a barbarian was talking to them like he owned them.
Jacob finally nced at Daisy, who was fiercely showing her sharp fangs, and her pupils turned into narrow slits, "Since I''m hiring you, I naturally have the right to speak up when I find something dissatisfying. Sigh, it seems you guys didn''t know what it means to do business at all and only think with the status quo. Very well, I''ll take my business somewhere else!"
Jacob shook his head in disappointment, and his words left everyone bbergasted. Just as he stated, these guys were too used to other people''s respect and had forgotten how to treat themon people.
That''s why he didn''t want to show any respect or appear weak in front of them because he knew the moment he did, they would take him as a pushover, and he would not achieve the result he wanted.
He was behaving like a customer, and since these guys wanted his money, they needed to show the goods. It was a simple concept, and they only understood it when Jacob stood up.
"Wait! Mr. Nobody, Daisy just spoke out on impulse, it''s her fault, that Jacob was really leaving, and it appeared suppressing him by their status will not work at all.
and she should apologize." Sofie finally spoke when she understood that Jacob was really leaving, and it appeared suppressing him by their status will not work at all.
Daisy was also shocked by Sofie''s reaction and looked at her in disbelief. It was her first time seeing her master yielding some much in front of a nobody.
Sofie gave her a death re, "Apologize for Mr. Nobody right now."
Daisy felt a chill run down her spine and bit her lips, and was about to speak when Jacob did first.
"I don''t need apologies. If you want to continue, then let''s go to the workshop and start with the process. I''ve wasted enough time already." He coldly stated while looking directly into Sofie''s eyes.
From the moment he knew these guys were desperate to get their hands on that legacy, he was the one who controlled the flow however he wanted. Now that he showed his impatient, he was sure they would no longer try to waste more time.
"Very well." Sofie finally nodded before she looked at Curtis, who was sweating, "Did you prepare the workshop?"
Curtis btedly nodded, "Of course, the Guild Leader Workshop is all yours, Elder."
"Then I''ll be there with Mr. Nobody, make sure no one disturbs us, or I''ll personally kick them out." She sternly ordered Curtis before she looked at grouchy Daisy and meaningfully said, "You will reflect while you are here and ''help'' guild leader Curtis handing the matter of the Guild. Is that understood?"
Daisy nodded with wronged expression, but a hidden me of hate for Jacob had been ignited within her heart.
Sofie then looked at Jacob and smiled, "Shall we?"
Afterward, Sofie led Jacob to a floor below which was actually the biggest workshop within the alchemy guild building, and only the Guild Leader could use it.
Jacob''s eyes shimmered as he saw all those high-tech tools and felt he hade into one of his own world''sbs.
"Are you also an alchemist, Mr. Nobody?" Sofie suddenly asked at this moment.
"Indeed, but I''m not as skilled as you," Jacob replied impassively. He was only Elder Grandmaster Rank or higher in Gunsmithing and Basic Elder Grandmaster Magic Smith while he had the knowledge of Rune Artificer up to the Basic Elder Grandmaster Rank.
If Ellie hadn''t stabbed him in the back, he could''ve been one of the most talented alchemists present in the entire Epic ins. But here he was, hiding from everyone.
"I''m curious, really, if you are a member of our guild, then why you appeared in the region of Vile Witch Valley when you could go to a region with Large Alive City and hired an Advanced Elder Grandmaster? Are, by any chance, you need those pills to save something? If you don''t want to, you don''t need to reply." Sofie questioned with a chuckle.
Jacob''s lips curled up slightly, "You indeed belonged to the fox race Elder Sofie."
"Then does this mean I''m right?" Sofie looked at Jacob deeply.
Jacob didn''t reply; instead, "We better start with pill creation. Oh, I want you to turn off this workshop''s surveince system for five minutes. I don''t want my pill form to be recorded in the white sage''s records, and I hope you can keep this private as well."
"You are indeed something of the guild to know so much." Sofie wasn''t surprised by Jacob''s demand as anyone who knows how the Guild words would put this demand.
"White Sage, please turn off the surveince footage and sound recording for 5 minutes on this floor." Sofie then ordered while her wrist shimmered in a white glow.
"It''s done." She stated while looking at Jacob in a cool manner, but her eyes suddenly dted when she saw a red sheen in Jacob''s eyes.
''Slumber Hex!'' Jacob instantly activated the hex spell the moment Sofie turned off the entire floor''s surveince system.
Within that instant, the entire hex mana within his pendant was exhausted, and Sofie''s shocked eyes suddenly turned lethargic before they got close, and she fell right into Jacob''s arms.
Looking at the delicate body of Sofie, Jacob has nothing but coldness in his eyes. He knew he had seeded in tricking Sofie, an Elder Grandmaster, into handing her entire being to him!
Without wasting time, he threw her body on the floor, and then a space ring appeared on his finger, it was the same space ring Captain Free Sword had handed him, and only afterpleting a certain condition can he take something out from it just like he did now!
