Chapter 112 Not A Deserter


    Jacob was stunned. The first time in years that someone knew what he really was. But he couldn’t


    figure out what’s the story with the young man?


    “You are not fit to know my name! A deserter from P! You’re a disgrace!” Charles sneered.


    With that said, Charles made a sudden dart at Jacob. He was a monster indeed. His action was so fast


    that his body be invisible.

    Jacob was not his match. All he could do was brandish his dagger to defend himself.


    “You can’t do better than that?” Charles punched him, and Jacob stumbled backward.


    After a few rounds, Jacob finally saw Charles’ movements clearly. A light went off in his head and he


    was horrified. “You are also from P!”


    Jacob fixed his eye on Charles. Many years ago, Jacob was one of the most powerful leaders in P.


    But today, he was defeated by a young man! What’s more, the young man was from P too! When he


    thought about it, his eyes were full of fear and pain.


    Jacob was not afraid of death. The only thing he feared was bringing discredit on P. He had done


    some terrible things these years.


    “Keep fighting!” Charles shouted and attacked Jacob again.


    Jacob fought back as hard as he could. But he was at a disadvantage with Charles.


    Samba stood nearby and looked at them, his eyes widening, because they moved too fast for his eyes


    see anything.


    “That’s enough for today.” Charles sneered and punched Jacob in the chest, with all his might.


    With a big sudden pain, Jacob flew away and fell heavily to the ground.


    Charles walked closer and looked down at him. “You’re not that good!” he said.


    Jacob wiped off the blood from the corners of his mouth and asked, “Who the hell are you?!”


    “You don’t deserve to know my name! You are a deserter!” Charles said scornfully.


    “Shut up! I’m not a deserter!” roared Jacob with rising excitement.


    “I don’t understand why you’re being like this. You were a hero in P, Jacob! We all thought you were


    dead. Your name was really embedded very, very deeply in each soldier’s brain, including me. I know


    well about your victories! I can go on and on about your military achievements!” Charles said sadly.


    When Jacob heard these words, he trembled, his face pale with pain and traces of tears on his cheeks.


    “Shut up! Shut your mouth!” Jacob shouted in pain.


    Jacob’s past glories had be his scar now. He wanted to keep them to himself. But Charles evoked


    his memory of the past. It was with a great amount of shame for him!


    “You are P’s hero, Jacob! But look at you now! You are a deserter, a liar! You do not deserve their


    respects,” Charles sneered.


    Charles’ words were a sore point with Jacob. He got down on his knees, weeping such heart-broken


    tears. “Just stop! Please, stop!” he cried.


    “You intended to assassinate Baron Owen, right? What you just did is punishable by death, for he is the


    Defender of P! But I’m not killing you because P soldiers don’t kill each other,” Charles said


    sharply.


    He paused for a fraction of a second and continued, “But if you let that happen again, I will absolutely


    kill you!” Charles said and left with Samba.


    Jacob was thoroughly stunned. He was shaken by these unexpected words! Baron was the Defender


    of P! And he tried to kill him. He almost became a sinner against P!


    Just then, there was a crash of thunder, and suddenly the rain came down.


    Jacob knelt down and burst into tears. Soon, he was soaking wet with rain.


    When Charles went back the Brone Group, he told Baron all about Jacob.


    Baron thought for a minute and said, “It’s not that simple. P soldiers are brave men. They could


    never be a deserter! I will never lose confidence in them!”


    “Maybe there is a reason that he can’t tell us. He was in a lot of pain when I mentioned his past in P.


    Clearly, he still loves P,” Charles said.


    “Go and look into it! Find out what happened to him!” Baron ordered.


    “Yes, Mr. Owen!” Charles said and left.


    Baron stood by the window and stared into the distance. Memories of P came flooding back.


    William was anxiously waiting for Jacob. When Jacob came back, he walked forward with a smile on


    his face.


    “Wee back, Jacob! You must have done it, right? You’ve never failed me!” said William.


    Wayne was his favorite grandson, but owing to Baron, he was disabled now. Baron cut his hamstrings


    and crushed his leg. He could only be in bed for the rest of his life. Hate welled up inside William as he


    thought of this.


    But to everyone’s surprise, Jacob said, “Sorry, Mr. Porter. I failed!”


    The smile had gone from William’s face, to be reced by a very ugly look. “What do you mean,


    Jacob?”


    “The task is beyond my powers, so I give up!” Then, after a pause, Jacob continued, “Mr. Porter, you


    saved my life eight years ago. In return, I have worked for the Porter family for eight years. Now I owe


    you nothing! I feel it is time to leave.”


    William’s face went white when he heard the words. Relying on Jacob, he made a lot of enemies over


    the years. Once Jacob left, he was nothing and the enemies woulde and get their revenge.


    William tried to make Jacob stay. He asked gently, “What happened, Jacob? Why do you have to leave


    me?”


    “You don’t know who you messed with, Mr. Porter! There is nothing I can do. No one will be able to


    protect you!” Jacob said calmly.


    “What nonsense! After years of continuous development, Our Porter family was a big family now! I’m


    not afraid of anyone!” William said furiously.
