Just as Jacob awaited his impending death, the pressure on him suddenly eased. Immediately afterward, the giant palmprint atop him also gradually vanished. A figure stood beside Jacob with his hands thrust forward, resisting the enormous palmprint with all his might.
"Mr. Sullen, are you all right?" At that moment, Azriel and Sierra helped Jacob to his feet, and the man holding out against the giant palmprint was none other than Malcolm from Radiant Sect.
"Mr. Cooper, thank you," Jacob expressed his gratitude upon taking in that scene.
Malcolm withdrew his aura and said, "You're too courteous, Mr. Sullen. I didn't expect you to have entered this place as well."
"Malcolm, are you going to openly oppose the Flashing Star Sect for this brat?"
Wade's voice carried a cold undertone as he addressed Malcolm, "Anyone who tries to harm Mr. Sullen is an enemy of Radiant Sect," the latter replied firmly.
