Travis asked in an angry manner, “What do you think you are doing?”
“Mr. Lane, since you are already here at the banquet today, then why are you leaving halfway through the banquet?”
Jack stepped forward as he smiled and said, “This banquet I’ve hosted is not a place that you can come and leave as you please. If you choose to leave now, wouldn’t that be a violation of the rules?”
Travis snorted before he said, “I’m not a member of the metaphysics circle. Whoever you choose as your leader is none of my business!”
Jack sneered before he replied, “You can leave right now if you want to but you’ll have to show your respect to me and leave a valuable item of yours behind!”
Travis was a man with a very high status and reputation. Therefore, he felt very irritated by Jack’s words. “What do you mean?”
“Mr. Lane, let me deal with him!”
Matthew said in a deep voice at this time as he stepped forward to defend Travis. “If you dare to stop Mr. Lane from leaving, then do not blame me for being merciless.”
Everyone started cheering when they saw that Matthew was about to make a move.
“Mr. Gibson, let this despicable man taste the power of your fists!”
“An outsider actually wants to be in control of the entire metaphysics circle. He must be crazy! I think he should stop daydreaming.”
“Hold him back. Don’t let him get his way!”
At this time, Jack smiled as he glared at Matthew with a cold expression on his face. “If you really think you can defeat me, then bring it on.”
Matthew was furious at this time and he launched himself towards Jack as he aimed his fist at his face. This was obviously a very powerful punch because Matthew was not an ordinary man.
“Do you really think you could do anything to me?” Everyone felt a swift movement and at this time, Jack was already standing on the other side of Matthew as he stretched out his hand and stuck a yellow talisman on his forehead.
“His movements are so quick!” Jasmine exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, Matthew stood still as though he was currently under a spell. He was stiff and motionless and the only thing that he could move at this time were his eyes.
Jack smiled slyly before he suddenly shouted.
“Get on your knees!”
“Squat down!”
Matthew suddenly fell to the ground and he was on all fours, as though he was submitting to an order.
“Mr. Gibson!” Travis yelled as he stared at the man on the ground.
The crowd of people were also exchanging glances with one another in shock.
As he was already under Jack’s spell, Matthew could not resist or disobey any of his orders at all. This was how powerful Jack’s spell was.
Matthew was standing on all fours on the ground and he looked extremely annoyed and frustrated at this time but it seemed as though he had no control over his body at all. At this time, he suddenly yelled in a furious manner, “You are a dog! What kind of witchcraft did you just use on me?”
“You actually thought that you could defeat me with such a low skill level?” Jack suddenly asked in a mocking tone. “I want you to bark like a dog now!”
Matthew was horrified and he tried to keep his mouth shut.
However, he could not even control his own reflexes and in the next second, he was already barking like a dog.
Travis was so shocked at this time and he almost fell to the ground.
Matthew was almost sixty years old but he was actually standing on all fours in front of Jack, acting and barking like a dog obeying its master’s instructions.
This would have been a funny scene if not for the deadly silence in the background.
The crowd of people were horrified and they could feel fear creeping up their backs.
Jack had actually defeated two of the masters in a row in less than ten minutes. How could he be so powerful?
“Puppetry! This is the puppetry skills from Xenia that had been long lost!” Finn suddenly murmured with a shocked expression on his face.
After he finished speaking, there was some whispering in the background.
The puppet technique was initially a secret art technique that was passed down from the older generations in Xenia. However, it had already been long lost and this technique had not been seen in the longest time.
None of the guests would have expected to witness this puppetry technique with their own eyes. This proved that Jack’s skills and abilities were limitless and it felt as though there would not be anyone here who could challenge him.
At this time, Matthew was still lying on the ground and his face was flushed red with embarrassment. He could not control his own body or reflexes and he really felt like dying right then.
Jack waved his hand and Matthew lost all of his strength and he collapsed to the ground immediately. He felt extremely ashamed of himself at this time.
“Well, so are you finally convinced now, Mr. Gibson?” Zeke asked as he laughed.
Matthew gritted his teeth and blood oozed out of his gums as he murmured bitterly, “Fine, you win… you win…”
When Matthew finally lowered his head as he was utterly defeated, the whole courtyard was silent as no one dared to say anything anymore.
After that, Jack turned his head to look at Joe before he said, “So, you snatched the valuable clam that I wanted to buy at the auction the other day. Since you’ve already witnessed my skills and magical abilities today, do you still dare to be so arrogant now?”
Joe shrugged before he said, “Just two simple strokes and you really think that you can’t be defeated?”
At this time, Jasmine hurriedly pulled Joe aside before she said in a low voice, “Mr. Smith, do not go against him at this time. Mr. Yaleman does have some skills and abilities. Do not lose your life just because of your pride and dignity.”
Jack sneered before he said, “You’re still so young and ignorant. Do you really have the courage to compete against me? If you lose, I want you to return the clam to me since it is rightfully mine. I also want you to go down on your knees and apologize to me!”
Joe smiled before he replied, “Competition? Who do you think you are? Do you really think that you are worthy enough to compete with me?”
The expression on everyone’s faces turned solemn at this time. This young man was really courageous. Who gave him the guts to speak in that manner to Jack? Was he really tired of living?
At this time, there was dead silence in the courtyard.
