Under Jacob's eyes, two dry corpses like men walked toward him and looked extremely sick, like they were on the verge of collapsing.
Jacob looked at the hobgoblin and fox-face orc without much surprise since he already knew there were two men present in this place, and they were both dying.
"Who is Great Earth Minor between you two?" Jacob questioned.
Mason opened his mouth, but no words came out, and he started coughing violently.
Lucas spoke in his dry, raspy voice, "Cut the crap and tell us how to treat this disease *cough*…" He also started coughing the next moment.
Jacob found the pair quite amusing as they were clearly on the verge of dying, yet they were still moving around and acting all high and mighty.
Still, he was not here to get amused, so he stated his condition, "I want all that silver metal you had as well as the location where you found it. Only after then will I relieve you from your current situation."
Mason was finally able to control his coughing as there was clear blood on his lips, and his condition was turning worse the more he remained outside the healing liquid cell. So, he also didn't have the energy to negotiate with Jacob.
He hoarsely replied, "G-give… give us the cure, and I'll give you all the mineral on me. As for the location where I found it, I have to disappoint you, *cough*, because I… I took it all!"
Jacob looked deeply at the hobgoblin, who seemed to be sincere beyond belief, and scoffed, "It seemed you still cherish wealth over your life. So, you can take it to your grave then."
Jacob turned around, which shocked the two men, and before they could speak, something unimaginable happened.
Jacob, through a casual punch and the reinforced door, which was made even to block E-tier-6 physical attacks, blasted back like it was made out of a thin sheet of wood.
Lucas almost had a heart attack and nearly choked on his own blood when he saw his pride and joy. The lab he was absolutely confident in being impenetrable in the entire rare plains was nothing but a toy house in front of this mysterious man.
Mason was also stunned silly as he looked at Jacob, who was walking toward the staircase without even looking at them anymore.
He never thought that the person he wanted to threaten was strong beyond his expectation. The notion came into his mind that Lucas had been tricked with all those guarantees and wanted to drag him down to hell with himself.
But Lucas's reaction told him otherwise.
Nevertheless, it wasn't time to mull over their mistakes, as Mason was now really afraid of dying. No, he was going to die if he remained stubborn.
So, he quickly called out, "W-wait!"
Jacob halted his footsteps and looked behind before he said, "I'll give you one last chance. Give me all that mineral on you as well as tell me the exact location where you found it. If there's even a little bit of falsehood in your words, I'll know, and this time I won't stop.
"And don't even think that all those explosives hidden in this base, especially the one you two are hiding right behind the south wall, which is made with the same material, can threaten him.
"That product is only half-baked, and it won't even blow up a chicken. If you don't believe me, you can try, and let's see what happens."
Jacob's casual words made the two guys' expressions warp, and with an appalled looked, they looked at each other. There were clear shock, disbelief, and terror in their eyes.
Especially Lucas. He almost thought that Jacob had an x-ray vision or had some high-grade scanner or Jacob somehow deactivated the anti-barrier of this hideout.
Nevertheless, whatever the case was, the cats were now out of the bag, and the man seemed to be not afraid despite knowing what was hidden in this place.
They might've tried calling Jacob's bluff, but after seeing him punching the reinforced door like he was breaking a twig, none of them were confident anymore.
Mason was instantly broken since he no longer found Lucas reliable, and he still thinks that he was in this mess because of Lucas and his experiments. He was in constant pain as even breathing made him feel worse than living, and he was already on the verge of a mental breakdown. He was too afraid of dying, and when despaired filled his heart.
"I-I agree!" Mason blurted before he showed the ring on his pinky and to Jacob, "I have over fifty kg of that mineral right in this space ring. The location coordinates where I found it is also recorded in my map scanner. You can take them all. Just give me the cure!"
"Y-you fool! Didn't you say you hid the map scanner with coordinates before coming here?! What if he took it and killed us?!" Lucas wanted to roar, but he could only not.
However, the terror in his eyes was clear. Because he knew they couldn't threaten Jacob anymore with the explosives hidden in the base. So, those coordinates were the only bargaining chip they had over Jacob.
If it were him, he would've offered Jacob the mineral first and only after Jacob handed him over the cure. Maybe then he might've given him the real location or even a fake one to lead him in circles.
But alas, the muscle-brain greedy hobgoblin was not as treacherous nor tenacious as the fox orc and broke under the pain and despair of death.
"Shut up! We are in this state because of you greedy *cough…" g-greedy ass!" Mason berated with a twisted expression.
Jacob's lips curled up under his mask, "Alright, empty your space ring right here, and as long as the goods are here, I will relieve you of your suffering."
"S-see? He didn't *cough* didn't make a move, or he could've simply killed us and taken my ring. And this time, I wasn't lying!" Mason disdainfully retorted.
Lucas also felt it made sense, but he still felt they had lost all leverage.
Mason no longer cared about Lucas's feelings or what he thought. He just wanted to be relieved from this pain. So, without hesitation, Mason moved his hand and started to take out everything in his space ring.
When Jacob saw all those minerals, especially the large boulder of plutonium, his eyes lit up, and he also noticed other things, as well as the black map scanner. He knew Mason was not playing tricks anymore.
"It's empty! Now give me the cure!" Mason madly declared.
"I believe you." Jacob nodded, giving Mason hope.
But the next moment, Mason's hope for getting all of this turned into sudden despair when Jacob's finger vanished from his sight and appeared right in front of his face while his hand was moved like a knife and directly penetrated into his heart.
Jacob's devilish voice rang, "Let me relieve you of your suffering!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
