Jake’s attention was firmly on the two newcomers, especially the scrawny-looking man. He was thin, pale, wore glasses, and even in D-grade, he still looked like someone who hadn’t left his basement for half a year. Yet he did have an aura of confidence, and Jake could see why.

[Human – lvl 165]

He was actually higher leveled than Jake himself, and it wasn’t spoofed or anything either. However, even so, Jake got weird vibes from him. His aura was oddly inconsistent, and his mana signature had an odd, well, signature. It was a bit familiar to Jake, but he wasn’t entirely clear where he had felt it before.

The other newcomer was the woman called Beatrice. She wore the kind of dress Jake would expect out of a high-society gala, and she clearly cared a lot about her looks. Jake also felt an aura from her as well as a domain of sorts. His senses heightened, and he quickly noticed how the subtle domain only affected Jake and the other man that stood next to her as well as all the male guards. Somehow it excluded family members and women. Jake did recognize this kind of aura as he had seen a familiar one before, though that one had been far less potent and controlled. It was a seduction aura of sorts, and Irin, the succubus, had a similar one.

Her level was also quite a bit lower, to say the least.

Carmen looked at the two of them, and Jake saw her one hand slightly shake. Jake did not do anything to interfere but would let things play out how they should. Whatever happened, he would just follow Carmen’s lead, and from the looks of it, there was also her mother around now with far more insight into who was a bastard and who wasn’t.

With impressive calmness, Carmen looked at her cousin as she scoffed. “You’re still as big of a bitch as back then, huh? Nice guy you got yourself there by the way, I see you are still at least good at whoring yourself out.”

The nerdy-looking guy instantly turned aggressive, but Beatrice held his arm and shook her head. “No need to get mad, babe. She is just jealous. Look at that pathetic guy she managed to drag along.”

Okay, why am I getting attacked? Jake questioned but still chose to hold his mouth.

“I understand that the concept of having a man around and not fucking him is foreign to you. Oh wait, is that why you’re so popular in the family? It wouldn’t surprise me to learn you fucked half your cousins and uncles you-”

“Do not utter another word! How dare someone like you come in here and act like this!” a man Jake recognized as Carmen’s uncle screamed as he turned to her father. “Didn’t I tell you you shouldn’t have married that bitch and had a devil spawn like her!”

Jake saw Carmen begin to shake more and more before she finally just stopped. She took a deep audible sigh as she looked at her mother.

“Mom, who here would you prefer not to see dead?”

The woman called Maura looked bewildered before she turned afraid. “Please, let’s just leave; I am sure that if we send a message to the authorities, they will-“

“They already locked down the room,” Carmen sighed. “They don’t plan on letting any of us leave. So tell me… who do you prefer to leave alive?”

Maura didn’t answer but just looked dumbstruck as she stared up at the rest of her family. Jake saw the cold gazes they sent in return, and Jake honestly found it impressive. The sheer level of cohesion in this family was insane. Even her own husband, Carmen’s father, looked back with disappointment and anger.
