Chapter 406 The Choice

It wasn't Melody who had 'leased' the island.

Why should she be the one to clean up the mess?

As someone from a new generation, with new ideals, the crowd wouldn't hoist onto Melody any responsibility that wasn't hers.

Jacob could no longer stay hidden. He emerged from the shadows, slipping into his loose, rumpled suit. His face, once bruised, now wore an expression of dark, brooding anger. With a sharp motion, he raised his hand, making rapid gestures. His fingers moved with such speed that they almost seemed to spark.

The lights in the venue flickered.

Jacob had that worn, rugged charm, the kind that came with experience and a bit of mystery. His mood was steady, but the tension was palpable always on the verge of breaking. "Ha, they want to mess with my student?"

"I'll turn them into dust if they try!"

The crowd felt the change in the air as their clothes began to flutter.

Some wondered if they were witnessing something out of the ordinary, something almost supernatural.

Marcus suddenly appeared, rushing over to grab Jacob's hands and stop his frantic gestures. "Calm down, boy!"

Jacob refused to lower his hands, his face dark with fury. "Calm down? Mel's the one I've been protecting all this time!
