"Do you have a death wish, Jacob?" Jeremiah shouted furiously.
His taunting me publicly like this is a blatant threat to my authority! I must kill him today or no one will ever respect me in the Warriors Alliance!
"You don't have to take it upon yourself to kill this guy, Dad! I'll avenge Laura and our family!" Bennett said as he jumped in front of Jacob and glared at him with murderous intent.
Jeremiah lowered his guard and reminded Bennett, "Be careful! This guy is no pushover!"
"Don't worry. I'm going to make him suffer a fate worse than death today!" Bennett muttered through clenched teeth.
He wanted nothing more than to tear Jacob from limb to limb on the spot. Jeremiah jumped down the stage and stood to watch beside them. This way, even if Bennett failed to kill Jacob, he would at least be able to ensure Bennett's safety.
