Chapter 707: A Ghost from the Past (4)



Jacob's eyes narrowed when he heard Percy's unexpected conjecture. Seeing Rudolph's reaction, he knew there was some truth in Percy's speculation.

"Why did he consider this possibility?" Jacob asked.

"Percy didn't just investigate the others, but he also secretly poked around the temple, and then he discovered that there were similar cases of Sebastian Edgar's children dying mysteriously.

"Percy found it quite strange that no one had ever investigated them or those cases were buried as if someone didn't want anyone to touch them. Furthermore, Percy only managed to get his hands on this information because he secretly snuck into his father's library and discovered a secret compartment with the help of his eyes.

"But he was too afraid to confront his father about it because this matter was directly related to the Pope, and he knew that if this involved some kind of secret of the Pope, he wouldn't be able to live long whether he had his technique or not.

"At first, he also had doubts, but when the investigation suddenly stopped, he started to believe that Sebastian Edgar had been behind Adolph's disappearance. Only Sebastian Edgar had the power to stop the investigation and completely cover up this incident.

"But no matter what kind of conclusion he had reached, he knew it was meaningless as long as he didn't have the power to confront Sebastian Edgar. If he had opened his mouth, he would've been dead.

"That's why he pinned his hopes on Rudolph, and he wanted him to become the next Pope before revealing this to Rudolph, so he could bring his brother justice and punish Sebastian if he was the one behind Adolph's death!" Autarch stated emotionlessly.

Jacob wondered with a hint of melancholy as a hazy face flashed past his mind before his eyes returned to being icy cold.

He then looked towards Rudolph, who started to shake when he sensed Jacob's predator-like eyes locked on him. A foreboding feeling gripped his heart.

"I could easily tell you know something about your brother's disappearance, and I can even sense that you have a hand in it. So, I'll give you two choices: spill out everything I want to know, and I'll spare you any pain. Or resist, and I'll make sure you know what true pain is!

"Oh, and don't even consider that someone is coming to save you because everyone in this place is under my control, and I have all the time I need to torture you until your fragile mind breaks. I can tell you have never experienced any suffering in your life, so I'll be happy to indulge you if you're really curious!" Jacob's words were laced with a sadistic touch.

Rudolph shuddered even more as sweat flowed all over his body. He felt as if Jacob was a bloodthirsty demon who wanted to unleash hellish suffering on him. Just as Jacob said, he had never experienced any hardship, and he hated pain. Seeing how ruthlessly and overwhelmingly powerful Jacob was, he knew there was no escape.

Furthermore, with how interested Jacob was in the topic of Adolph, he started to believe that this person wasn't just taking his appearance, but he might be the real Adolph who had somehow escaped his doom and crawled out from hell a vengeful demon to take revenge for what happened to.

"Since you didn't want to speak, I'll take it as you choose the second option..." Jacob coolly stated as a dark killing intent suddenly burst out of his body.

This was the final straw that breaks the camel's back as Rudolph could feel the accumulated killing intent from Jacob that he had never seen, and he even thought that he was the devil himself, just how many people he had killed?

He finally snapped out of his thoughts, quickly waved his hands, and dreadfully said, "Wa- wa-wait! I yield! I'll tell you everything you want to know as long as you spare me!"

Jacob's killing intent finally vanished as his lips rose slightly. He nodded in satisfaction before ordering Autarch, "Leave and keep everything in order until I have finished 'catching up' with my 'brother'!"
