Chapter 401 I'll Make Sure that She Pays

Silence dominated the room. Alicia on the other hand, did not stop releasing the energy in her body, as she directed it towards Jack. But, it was only after a while that she suddenly realized that, there was something wrong.

According to how it was supposed to be, when she utilized her ability, Jack was supposed to have already agreed to what she had said. He was supposed to be under her control right now, doing as she wanted him to.

But surprisingly, Jack was just looking at her, with a cold gaze. This gaze sent chills down her spine, as she felt threatened.

Not wanting to believe that she could not control Jack, Alicia decided to expend all the energy that she possessed, to try and control him. But no matter how hard she tried, there was no change in Jack's expression at all.

"Are you done? I had already given you a chance to leave, but, you are still trying to think of controlling me? You must be tired of living." Jack said indifferently. But still, the anger within his eyes could now be seen clearly.

The next moment, he got to his feet, and began approaching Alicia step by step. At the same time, an intense aura suddenly surged out of his body. This aura was so thick that, Alicia was forced to retreat.

"Ho-how can this be possible? How can you not fall under the control of my ability? You are supposed to be hypnotized right now!" Alicia nearly screamed as she looked at Jack who was approaching her steadily.

Not wanting to entertain the lady in front of him anymore, Jack decided to deal with her once and for all. After all, if she could not take the chance that he had given her, then, there was no guarantee that she might actually decide to leave Celine alone.

Previously, he was completely unwilling to let her go. After all, she was like are ticking time bomb that could explode at any time. But, due to his principles, he had no choice but to let her go. But now, she had given him a chance and a reason to completely eradicate her.

With incredible speed, Jack stretched his right hand towards Alicia's neck.

It was also at this moment that Alicia suddenly came back to her senses. She realized that, Jack was way stronger than she had estimated. And, the hand that was approaching her, it was approaching her at a speed that she could not evade at all.

Other than getting dumbfounded, she was also happy in her heart. If Jack was this strong, that implied that, there was no reason for her parents to refuse. After all, not only did she love him, but also, he was way stronger than the person that they had arranged for her to get married to. n0VELusb.c0m

Jack was just about to grab Alicia's neck, when suddenly, he was forced to retreat. At this moment, he had realized that there was a strong feeling of danger. Even though it was not one that could kill him, it was one that had the intention to injure him.

The moment that he retreated, a shadow-like figure suddenly appeared. This figure was that of a man, but, not even a single feature of him could be seen. Instead, this person was covered in shadows, as if he himself was a shadow.

Jack had seen everything clearly. During the time that he was approaching Alicia, intending to grab her neck, this figure suddenly emerged from her shadow.

After a while, the shadow that was covering this person suddenly cleared out, revealing a middle-aged man. He was having sharp brows, and a stubble on his chin. He possessed black hair, and brown eyes that were looking at Jack with killing intent in them.

"I didn't expect that someone like you will appear here. Do you mind telling me which stronghold you are from?" After a moment of silence, the man asked in a deep voice.

Before even Jack could reply, Alicia looked at the man with an incredulous gaze. Then, she asked, "Uncle James, why did you come? I asked you not to come with me!"

James did not respond, instead, he looked at Jack, waiting for his response. Additionally, he was trying to make sure that he kept an eye on Jack, just in case he made any move.

"I'm not from any stronghold. But anyway, she offended me, and, you better get out of the way if you don't want to be affected as well. This time, I have to deal with her, because I have already been lenient with her long enough." Jack responded coldly.

[The person in front of you is also a superhuman. Currently, he is at the third stage, a single stage above you. He has already broken the third lock.]

A system prompt appeared in front of him, as he looked at James in front of him. At the same time, he couldn't help but get surprised by this piece of information. It was no wonder that he felt that the person in front of him was kind of dangerous.

Lucky for him, currently, he possessed the combat capabilities of a person who was above his level. As of present, he had already broken two locks, making him a superhuman of the second stage.

James narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jack. Then, he responded to Alicia's question, "Young lady, you have to know that I cannot allow you to leave without security. If anything happens to you, then there's nothing that I can tell your parents to explain what happened to you."

Alicia pursed her lips as she looked at the person in front of her. This was the person who had been protecting her ever since she was 8. Now, it had already been over a decade, and he had been taking care of her. And for that reason, she always referred to him as an uncle, because, that was how he treated her.

And as she thought much about it, she suddenly realized that, if James had not appeared, then, it was true that Jack would have already grabbed her by now.

She looked at Jack who was standing in front of her with an extraordinary aura surrounding him. It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that, the aura that was surrounding Jack at this moment was that of a superhuman.

Her eyes widened in surprise. She had never expected that Jack had already reached the superhuman level. Additionally, his aura was not weak when compared to the one that James was currently releasing.

She suddenly felt that she was lucky. Additionally, she understood the reason as to why her ability was not able to work on Jack. After all, Jack was a superhuman, and the ability that she possessed could not affect people of that caliber. That was unless she herself became a superhuman as well.

"Young man, it is not a problem if you don't want to tell me about the stronghold that you belong to. But nonetheless, I hope that the matter ends here. After all, if the two of us fight, we are going to cause a lot of destruction here, and are going to invite a lot of attention towards us." James said calmly.

Jack did not respond, but, his decision did not waver. Instead, he had already decided that he had to eliminate the two people in front of him. Even though he was not sure about dealing with the man, he was sure that he could have a chance of dealing with Alicia.

When James saw that Jack had no intention of letting them go, he took a deep breath and said, "How about this? You let us go, and we are going to forget about everything that has happened here. We don't get involved with anyone that is closer to you, in exchange for you not trying to fight against us."

It was not that James was afraid of fighting Jack. It was just that, it was not clear about what background Jack possessed. For him to be able to break the genetic lock at his age, it implied that he possessed incredible resources.

Jack thought about it for a moment, before he finally decided to agree to it. It was not that he was agreeing to let them go, but, this grudge had to be paid back at one point in time.

Additionally, even though he did not believe that the two of them were going to leave Celine alone, he had to ensure that she was protected.

know this, you are leaving now, but I will make sure that she pays for what she has done."

More than that, he had to ensure that she also got stronger, so that she could take care of some problems by herself. At the end of it all, there was no way that he was going to be there with her every now and then.

Without saying anything else, he went back and sat down. After that, he said in a calm voice, "I won't be sending you off then. But know this, you are leaving now, but I will make sure that she pays for what she has done."

Even though James was completely displeased by what Jack had said, he had no choice but to give in for now. After all, it was true that Alicia was the one at fault.

Had it been that they were dealing with just anybody, then, James would not have cared about who was in the wrong, and just dealt with them. But now, it was completely different if they met with a person that might be stronger than them or perhaps on par with them.

"I hope that you will not do that. But, let us not discuss this matter now. We will take our leave then." James said. And in the next instant, even before Alicia could say anything, with an incredible speed, he carried her and the two of them left the villa.
