Chapter 2 Eye for an Eye

“J… Jacob, is that really you? You… You’re back!” Franklin was excited to see the young man. However, he still felt that it was very surreal.

After stabbing the official that tried to assault Naeve, Jacob escaped out of the outland to avoid dragging his family into trouble.

In the first two years Jacob left, he had to constantly struggle to survive. Thus, he did not have the liberty to consider sending a message home.
