Chapter 1274 ()

Jacob scoffed at his claims and argued, "Stop tooting your own horn. You're just a pile of bones after someone dumped your body in the ocean."

The old man sputtered furiously, "Y-You insolent child! You have no foresight at all. I wouldn't have bothered helping you if not for your Dragon Vein."

"If you know about my Dragon Vein, do you know who I am? Who's my father?" asked Jacob. He hoped to get news about his father from the mysterious old man.

To his dismay, Rudeus replied, "It's good enough that I can see your Dragon Vein. Why would I know about your father? If I can be revived, I can perhaps use my powers to determine your father's identity."

Jacob immediately wrote the elderly man off as a clueless person, and he turned his focus to running faster. He had just passed the foothills when two strangers blocked his path. Based on their attire, Jacob surmised that they were members of a sect from the hidden realm.
