Chapter 747: Time for Reckoning (1)
The fog island was surrounded by icy cold fog and an eerie silence in the dark shade of moonless night. Over a hundred meters away from the floating island, a flying ship in stealth approached it, and this wasn't the only ship; in fact, around a hundred more ships were slowly surrounding the island from all directions.
They were keeping their distance to not alert the locusts around the island and waiting for everyone to be in position.
As for the person in command of these ships, he was a few hundred meters right above the fog island with the most powerful and influential figures of the Unique Plains.
Not only were the true bodies of the Treaty of Legends' members present, but even the leaders of the three absolute factions were present here, called by their seniors within the treaty.
Everyone was silently looking at the towering giant, adorned in a dark windbreaker and a long hood covering his head. He stood silently under the dark sky and watched below as cold winds brushed past his towering, slender figure.
"Everyone will be in position in three minutes." Veronica finally broke the silence at this moment as his eyes contained a hint of excitement and trepidation.
Furthermore, Diminutive was nowhere to be seen, which made Veronica remember the last time she saw him.
There was a hint of tiredness on his face as if he hadn't slept because of nightmares, which he still couldn't comprehend since he didn't remember anything. Yet his body always shivered for some reason whenever he tried to remember.
Although she didn't know what was going on with him, he left after saying he had another more important matter to tend to, and Jacob was enough for this venture. After all, he didn't sign the oath contract, which only made Veronica suspicious since she knew Diminutive's nature and was on guard against him.
She even told Jacob about her suspicion; the latter only told her he knew and didn't comment further.
Not to mention, his own ancestor can still bypass all the security of the temple since he still has the same authority as him.
As for running away, there was simply no chance as long as he didn't want to live anymore and surrender his lofty status. He was only planning on putting up an act, and when he heard Jacob was planning to go alone, he was the happiest of them all.
Yet now, this sudden turn of events caught him completely off guard, and if he could, he would've been long starting to flee in the opposite direction since he knew what happened in the Holy Mountain Range was all Jacob's work.
"What are you waiting for?" Veronica coldly glared at rooted Sebastian.
Although she didn't know what the Faery Humans had done to earn his wrath, she didn't care about them; she only cared about getting Jacob's help.
Sebastian finally took a step forward while sweating bullets. His peers, who knew him, couldn't help but scoff secretly, gloating at the old coward's misfortune. After all, they had dealt with Sebastian's arrogance and hypocrisy, and they knew he was a fiend playing angel. Well, except for two new leaders of the three factions. One was Roy's replacement and previous vice manager of the bank, so his ascension was something everyone saw coming while they were still completely clueless about Roy's fate, who was also, in a sense, like Sebastian.
But what no one saw coming was Tomas's sudden death, and his successor wasn't actually the one he nurtured. Instead, this Dark Marquise came out of nowhere and took the Dark Duke spot fair and square.
At this moment, the new Dark Duke squinted her beautiful emerald eyes as she looked deeply
at Jacob's figure, which vanished into the room. Her heart raced when she thought of a
possibility.
'Is he Mr. Jack? Just what is going on?' Dark Duke Zoe was both confused and excited after her sudden realization!
