In the blink of an eye, the terrifying aura that enveloped Jacob vanished without a trace. Surprise inundated Jacob, and he swung his gaze at Mephisto.
At that very moment, Mephisto's eyes were fixated intently on the ring on Jacob's finger.
The only reason he stopped was that he saw the ring.
Seeing his expression right then, Jacob frowned slightly, seemingly having thought of something. After all, Tony and Porschia wore the exact same expressions back when they saw his ring.
In no time, Mephisto gathered his wits about him. After that fleeting change in expression, he immediately regained his composure and said to Jacob, "Since you're Col's friend, I'll let it slide today. Come with me."
His sudden change stunned both Stefanie and Melissa. They initially thought that Jacob would undoubtedly die that day, but Mephisto actually stopped short.
