Dalton was intrigued when he heard the tempting offer. "Jacob, why don't we just let him off the hook? Mr. Wade has already pleaded for forgiveness anyway. What do you think?"
Little did Dalton know, he had been on the hit list as well. It was just that the assassins had not gone to his room first.
"All right. Since that's what you say, I'll just go easy on him this time."
Jacob did as Dalton told not only because it was Dalton who had asked but also because he wanted to keep Francis alive so he could get some useful information from that man in the future.
Given how Francis would always shore up sunken ships for their treasure, Jacob speculated that he might come across some magical items during his quests. This could be helpful to Jacob.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Sullen!"
