Stefano's entire body stiffened, and his expression turned awkward after following Jacob's line of sight to the back of the hall.
"You're a talented man, Jacob. It'll be beneficial for you to join Herb Palace," Titus commented as he came out from the back.
Stefano shot to his feet and stepped away from his seat, offering it to Titus. "Mr. Daniel," he greeted respectfully.
Titus took a seat opposite Jacob. With a smile, he said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Titus from the Daniel's of Hillsborough. You feel like an old friend of mine despite this being the first time I'm meeting you."
Jacob smirked, "Would you have sneaked around in the back and hid from me if I were your old friend?"
Jacob felt a presence hiding in the back the instant he stepped into the hall. Using his breathing technique, he could sense the latter's internal energy had already reached the Grandmaster level.
