Ariana cast a pleading look at Jacob, who then gave her a reassuring look in return. The moment Jacob entered, he realized how powerful the sorcerer was.
Furthermore, what the sorcerer had sprayed on Royce was a kind of medicinal solution meant for soul manipulation. In other words, the sorcerer was trying to use soul manipulation to make Royce listen to him.
Jacob had seen low-leveled witchcraft like this before. Back then, Gene, the mayor of Pentagon, had been controlled by two sorcerers and nearly made a huge mistake.
In the end, Jacob was the one who rescued him.
Therefore, a simple soul manipulation like this was nothing to Jacob. Now, all Jacob was doing was watching as the sorcerer continued with his show.
The sorcerer chanted under his breath before making a gentle tap. Royce, who had his eyes shut earlier, suddenly opened them. Ariana was delighted to see Royce awake, and she lunged toward him.
