Chapter 16: Chapter 16 (The Discovery of The Overlord's Presence)
In an instant, everyone was stunned. After all, no one in Pentagon dared to go against Tony's orders. But that day, the seemingly ordinary Jacob wasn't showing him any respect at all.
Tony's expression turned chilly, and his eyes radiated murder.
Off to the side, Kyle was close to bursting with laughter as he inwardly crowed, Kill him! Finish him off!
"Mr. Sullen, h-hurry up and apologize to Mr. Campbell!"
Stefanie hastily tugged at Jacob's sleeve, feeling so apprehensive that she was drenched in a cold sweat.
"How dare you go against Mr. Campbell, kid? You must have a death wish!" one of Tony's lackeys roared as he swung his fist at Jacob.
"Mr. Campbell, I apologize on behalf of Mr. Sullen!" Bill descended into a panic when he saw that Tony's lackey was about to make a move. However, he didn't dare order his men to act since his dozens of security guards were no match for Tony's several hundred lackeys, even if he were to risk his life. The ending would be the same, but the McMillan family would only be dragged into the mess.
Tony said nothing, neither entertaining his apology nor ordering his lackey to stop.
That lackey of his was tall and burly and was almost a head taller than Jacob. Not only that, he was bulging with muscles. Therefore, Jacob would probably be crippled even if he didn't die from that single blow.
Both Kyle and Cassie regarded Jacob with a sneer. Warrick and Juliette likewise anticipated seeing his pitiful state in a moment, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. That went doubly for the former since he was still hurting badly from the slap that sent him flying earlier. Therefore, he wanted to see Jacob crippled.
But just as the lackey's fist drew close to Jacob's face, Jacob reached out and caught the gigantic fist. No matter how much force the man exerted, he found that he simply couldn't move his hand.
At that sight, everyone was bowled over. Even Tony couldn't help taking a closer look at Jacob.
Alas, he felt as though he was on the verge of a heart attack when he truly scrutinized the man.
He had obviously noticed the bronze-colored ring on Jacob's finger as well as the carved dragon on it.
The Dragon Ring! That's the Dragon Ring! The person who wears the Dragon Ring is the overlord of the Dragon Sect!
He fell into a trance for a moment. In the next second, he bellowed, "Get the hell away! Who asked you to make a move?"
After roaring at his lackey, he sent the man flying with a kick.
"Please forgive my ignorance, Mr. Sullen!" Tony hastily apologized to Jacob. He had never expected the overlord of the Dragon Sect to grace the insignificant Pentagon with his presence when the Dragon Sect was the most mysterious organization in the entire world. With a mere flick of its finger, the whole world would tremble.
In fact, Tony's Templar Regiment was under the command of the Dragon Sect.
The Dragon Sect had a total of thirteen regiments in the whole of Canaia, and the Templar Regiment was only one of them. However, when they weren't summoned, the regiments operated independently without revealing their identities.
For that reason, Tony could only address Jacob as Mr. Sullen right then. Seeing his sudden change of attitude toward Jacob, everyone was bewildered. They had no idea what he was trying to do.
Even Jacob himself was quite taken aback. "Do I not need to apologize anymore?" he questioned tentatively with his gaze fixated on Tony.
No, of course not! How would I dare ask that you apologize, Mr. Sullen? Please just say the word if you have any requests!"
Stricken with terror, Tony quickly shook his head. No matter what, I wouldn't dare ask the overlord of the Dragon Sect to apologize!
"I said they won't be getting married if I attend the wedding," Jacob commented placidly.
Nodding, Tony turned and announced loudly, "The wedding today is canceled! Everyone can get lost now!"
"Mr. Campbell…"
Joel gaped at him, nonplussed. If the wedding is called off, the Anderson family will become the laughingstock of Pentagon!
