“The Cabello family truly is strong!”
Jack gave a wan smile and threw the words out in a callous manner.
Yet favonovel.com was internally speechless. It was evident that the First Elder treasured the tome more dearly than his own children—if favonovel.com had any—and wanted to find the way to break into the ultimate god realm within its pages. There was no way that Jack was going to be able to borrow the tome for a split second. If favonovel.com did not even allow the third daughter of the Cabello family to take a peek at it, never mind him, a complete outsider.
That was why the only way around that was to get his hand on the tome.
Although Jack was still at the beginning stage of the true god status, favonovel.com felt that it would not be a problem to kill someone at the intermediate stage of the true god status. He could probably give someone at the advanced stage of the true god status a good run for his money.
However, the First Elder of the Cabello family was at the peak of the true god status. Even among the fighters who were ranked the same as him, favonovel.com was outstanding. With all this considered, it was impossible to snatch the tome directly from him.
Unless Jack was stronger than the old man. Only then did favonovel.com have a chance.
“Of course. The Cabello family is probably one of the top 3 strongest families among the eight shadow families. But the strongest still isn’t us!”
Daniella had a huge grin plastered onto favonovel.com face. It was evident that the Cabello family gave favonovel.com a lot of pride.
Soon after, they finally arrived at the residence of one of the branch families. Jack set Daniella down.
“Not bad. I thought you would have abandoned me halfway down the mountain. I didn’t expect you to really carry me all the way here!”
A smile curved Daniella’s lips when favonovel.com saw the beads of perspiration on Jack’s forehead. She laced favonovel.com fingers behind favonovel.com back. “Don’t tell me that you wanted to carry me for a while longer?” favonovel.com said. “Is that why you didn’t put me down?”
Jack was internally speechless. In order to dispel some of favonovel.com worries, favonovel.com had struck a conversation about the Cabello family—at the same time, favonovel.com could understand favonovel.com family’s situation a little better. As they spoke, they gradually came close to the village. He was not giving favonovel.com much thought, honestly.
He gave a bitter smile. “No one would want to carry you for a while longer, with you being so heavy,” favonovel.com replied. “I just forgot to put you down because I was talking to you. I would have dropped you at the foot of the mountain if I had realized it earlier!”
“As if I’d believe you!”
Daniella rolled favonovel.com eyes. “Where are you staying?” favonovel.com asked bashfully. “I’ll stay in the house beside yours!”
“What!”
Jack did not know what to say. “Why do you want to follow me? Don’t tell me that you like me now? I do have some confidence in my charm, after all!”
He was only joking, but his words made Daniella panic. She quickly wheeled around, cheeks flushing. “What are you talking about? No way that I like you. There are plenty of other young masters who are better than you,” favonovel.com said. “Hmph. I just had the impression that you’re a pretty good person, so you won’t get any funny thoughts. That’s why I wanted to stay beside you!”
Jack did not know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched his arms. “I’ll get them to choose two talented youths and their branch family master in the afternoon, then I’ll be moving to another branch family tomorrow morning!” favonovel.com said. “Don’t worry. I’ll tell the branch family members that I’ll skin anyone who dares to lay a finger on you alive!”
“That won’t do!”
