Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 126: Lena's Despair

"I give you one more chance. If you're still stubborn, I'll put you through the sharp pain."

The middle-aged man said with a gloomy face.

Besides them, a few other people were in the hall.

Among them, a couple was kneeling on the ground.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his fingernails had almost sunk into his flesh.

"Patriarch, please let go of Lena!"

The beautiful middle-aged woman beside him gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face. She

choked, "Patriarch, I beg you to let Lena off, for she is the descendant of the Bell family!"

The middle-aged man looked at them. Though he had reached the Divinity Phase, he couldn't help but

feel joyful.

"Layton, how arrogant were you back then? You would rather lose all your martial arts than lower your

head to beg me for mercy. I thought you were born arrogant and would never lower your head!" The

middle-aged man laughed and said, "Since you beg for mercy, I will give Lena three more days for your

sake. Within these three days, if she is willing to tell her cultivation technique and hand it over to the

Bell family, I will let her go. Otherwise..."

With that, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"And you, if you are still unwilling to hand over your cultivation technique in three days, I will not only

make your life a living hell, but also make your parents envy the dead!"

The middle-aged man looked at Lena and said coldly.

Lena bit her lips tightly without saying a word.

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man snorted and walked out.

A young man standing beside him hurriedly followed him.

Seeing them leave, Lena's expression finally changed.

Her firm gaze became tender.

She quickly walked in front of the middle-aged couple and knelt down, wanting to help them up.

"Dad, Mom." Lena looked at them and tried to hold back her tears. "If I hadn't come to you, I wouldn't

have got you in trouble. It's all my fault..."

As she spoke, tears gushed from her eyes.

"Lena, I don't blame you ... I thought that I wouldn't have the chance to see you for the rest of my life..."

Macey hugged Lena tightly in her arms, sobbing.

Layton clenched his fists and said, "Lena, I am good for nothing. I make you wander around for so

many years. You've finally returned with great difficulty, but you cannot enjoy the warmth of your family

and is put in danger because of us!"

Twenty-three years ago, the incident of the Bell family changed Layton's life.

Layton used to be the most talented one among the young generation of the Bell family and the

successor that no one would question. However, he became good-for-nothing in that incident.

In order to protect his child, Lena, who was only a few months old, Layton could only abandon her.

Macey and Layton didn't know where Lena was. Only in this way could they protect her.

Ever since then, he changed from God's favored one to a piece of crap.

For the sake of his wife, he didn't have the nerve to commit suicide and could only struggle for life.

Albert, who used to be inferior to him and stay away from him, had become the current patriarch of the

Bell family. Moreover, Albert had reached the Divinity Phase and humiliated him.

...

...

"Father, do you think Lena will give the cultivation technique?"

After leaving the hall, the young man behind Albert asked respectfully.

"Dylan, what do you think?" Albert asked.

Dylan said without hesitation, "Layton didn't commit suicide because he knew that his wife would suffer

a lot if he died. Lena faced the similar dilemma. As long as she had feelings for her parents, she should

know what to do. Even if she wasn't afraid of death or torture, she would compromise for her parents."

"In my opinion, she will give it to us, but we may have to overcome some difficulty."

Hearing this, Albert revealed a satisfied expression.

"Lena has the physique with the purest Kidney-Yin. She needs to do more than giving away her

cultivation technique!" Albert shook his head as he walked.

Hearing this, Dylan put on a joyful look, "Enlighten me, Father."

"She has the physique with the purest Kidney-Yin. Thus, she is not only talented in Martial Arts

cultivation, she can also cultivate with men to make them stronger. In terms of talent, I have to admit

that I am inferior to Layton. I reach the Divinity Phase in my 40s. It's because I replaced my blood with

Layton's with a secret technique. Otherwise, I may not have reached the Divinity Phase. Without help,

it would be impossible for you to reach the Divinity Phase for the rest of your life. Even if you reach the

Divinity Phase by all means, it will take you decades. But now, it will be different with the help of Lena.

After she reaches the Semi-Divinity Phase, she can cultivate with you. By then, you can absorb the

power of Kidney-Yin in her body for making it to the Divinity Phase. The chances will be at least 30%

higher."

"So, after she handed over the martial arts, you must let her marry you! This way, your chances of

advancing to the Divinity Phase will be greatly increased, and you will have a Semi-Divinity Phase

cultivator as help," Even if you absorb her power of Kidney-Yin, there is still hope for her to enter the

Divinity Phase in the future. At that time, if both of you are at the Divinity Phase, the entire Bell family,

including those elders wouldn't dare to say a word against you. Even the secluded families outside the

Bell family would be respectful and submissive." Albert said, his eyes shining brightly.

During the Bell incident 23 years ago, the Divinity Phase experts on Layton's side were killed, and

those on Albert's side were seriously injured and still in seclusion.

Ever since then, the Bell family had collapsed. Having fallen to the bottom tier of the secluded families,

it had been excluded by other secluded families.

If Albert hadn't reached the Divinity Phase, the Bell family would have faced tougher situation.

However, Albert didn't regret it at all. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have the power and status he had

today. He wouldn't be able to trample on and humiliate Layton whom he used to look up to.

He wouldn't be able to reach the Divinity Phase in his prime.

"We don't have to talk about this for the time being. It takes time. As long as she can hand over her

cultivation technique, she will make another compromise," Albert said.

Dylan's eyes flashed as he said respectfully, "Father, you do have great vision!"

It was shocking that the chances of reaching the Divinity Phase could be increased by at least 30%.

Even if it would be 10%, those Semi-Divinity Phase cultivators would do everything they could to make

it happen.

Even if Lena was the ugliest sow in the world, Dylan was willing to cultivate with her.

Not to mention, Lena was a sexy and elegant beauty. Thinking about it, Dylan was a little excited.

"Apart from that, what else can you see?" Albert continued to ask.

Dylan was stunned for a moment and then pondered.

After a few seconds, Dylan suddenly raised his head and looked at Albert. He said with respect, "The

power behind Lena!"

Albert nodded in satisfaction.

"Lena's cultivation technique is very special. I have never seen such moves before. The most important

thing is that she can summon the nourishing mana from the earth and heaven when she makes moves.

It's so mysterious. If we can obtain such a technique, our strength will definitely increase greatly."

"Moreover, the one that teaches Lena the cultivation technique must be a great expert. As long as you

can marry Lena, you will be of the same family. The expert that teaches Lena will be a friend of the Bell

family."

"So, it depends on whether you can conquer that woman and subject her as your assistance!"

Albert patted Dylan on the shoulder with a hopeful gaze.

Albert was proud of Dylan, his eldest son, and the successor of the patriarch that he cultivated.

"Father, don't worry. I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but I am good at conquering women. No

matter how strong a woman is, she will become as gentle as water and listen to me once she gets into

my bed..."

Dylan patted his chest and promised.

Albert knew that Dylan was somewhat lustful, but he was still able to distinguish what was important.

His lechery didn't affect his life, so Albert did not criticize Dylan for that.

...

...

Three days later.

"How is it? Have you thought it over clearly?"

Albert stared down at Lena and asked coldly.

Lena remained silent.

"Good, very good." Albert smiled instead of revealing an angry expression.

Then, he shouted, "Bring them up..."

As Albert finished speaking, Layton and Macey were brought to the hall.

"Three days have passed. I've said that if you are still unwilling to hand over your cultivation technique,

I will make a living hell out of your life as well as your parents'!"

Albert smiled.

Lena's pretty face instantly changed.

"Lena, don't worry about us..." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Layton wanted to say more.

However, just as Layton was about to continue, Albert casually waved his hand and smashed Layton

into the pillar in the pavilion. Layton spit out blood at once.

Then, he fell to the ground.

The table was broken into pieces.

"This is only the beginning. If you waste more time, I will put your parents through torture and see how

long they can endure!"

Albert said mercilessly.

Hearing this, Lena's pretty face was as pale as death and filled with despair.

"Albert, just come at me..."

Lena finally spoke.

Although she had only known Layton and Macey for a few days, Lena felt their love that she had never

felt before.

She originally wanted to find them and ask them why they abandoned her back then.

But after learning the truth, Lena felt heartbroken.

She regretted that she couldn't help but come to her parents after learning that they were in the

southeast.

With the Bloodline Tracking Skill of Jacob, Lena sensed the location of her parents, so she didn't take

great pains to come here.

However, things were totally out of her control.

She brought disaster to her biological parents.

A figure appeared in her mind. If Jacob was here, she wouldn't be so awkward.

"Come at you? Don't worry. I'll let your parents have a good time first. Let me ask you one more time.

Will you talk or not!"

After saying that, Albert waved his hand again.

Layton was floating again and smashed onto the ground fiercely.

Instantly, the floor was cracked.

Layton spit out blood again.

"Dad..."

Seeing this, Lena felt heartbroken.

However, Layton gritted his teeth tightly and didn't even let out a cry.

"Let me ask you one more time. Will you talk or not!?"

"I'll count to three. If you don't tell me, I'll cut off one of your father's legs!"

Albert's voice was extremely cold.

"Three!"

Albert slightly opened his mouth but his voice spread throughout the entire hall.

"Two!"

Albert stared at Lena and wanted to see what kind of choice Lena would make.

"One!"

Lena's body trembled.

'Jacob, I'm sorry!'

Lena's face was filled with despair.

Lena had no choice but to compromise for her parents she had just met.

However, just then, a voice suddenly came.

"You're courting death!"

Along with the familiar voice, a familiar figure dashed into the hall and came into everyone's sight.
