Chapter 69: The Real & Imposter Jack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Hello, Master Son-in-law.” He had just turned a corner when he ran into a maid. When she saw him, she immediately greeted him in an obedient manner.
“Hmm.” Jack only hummed softly as a greeting. Then, he lowered his head and continued to walk as if he was in a hurry.
This maid was Tina. She was a little puzzled. Why did she feel that the Master Son-in-law today was a little different from before? In the past, Jack was always very warm to Tina when he met her, and he even joked with her often. But why did the Master Son-in-law seem to be ignoring her today? And he even gave her a strange feeling.
“Ah ~ ~ ~”
At this moment, Jack suddenly clutched his head and cried out in pain. He felt as if a giant needle was stabbing his head incessantly. His head seemed to be splitting open, and he almost died from the pain. He clutched his head and rolled on the ground, crying out miserably. This had frightened Tina. She quickly shouted, “Master Son-in-law, what’s wrong?”
She wanted to help, but Jack kept holding his head and rolling on the floor. He did not even have the strength to speak. She did not know how to help. Finally, she said, “Master Son-in-law, wait here. I’ll go get someone immediately.” After she had said that, Tina ran off to get someone. “Master Son-in-law must have been ill, which is why he is in so much pain.” She had to get someone to help her immediately. Tina thought so, but because she was anxious, she did not really look at the road. As a result, when she was turning the corner, she bumped right into someone. She let out a cry and almost fell. Fortunately, the person was very fast. He grabbed Tina’s arm and pulled her up. Then, he said, “Tina, what’s wrong? Why do you look so anxious?”
“I’m fine. Master Son-in-law, he….. Master Son-in-law? You…” Tina was about to say that the Master Son-in-law had been ill and needed to find a doctor immediately, but when she looked up, she realized that the person in front of her was the family’s Master Son-in-law, Jack. She immediately pointed at Jack in front of her suspiciously, and uttered,” You… you… you… ” She could not speak.
“What’s wrong with me?” Jack had also sensed that there was something wrong with Tina’s expression, so he immediately asked. However, Tina was completely confused by what was happening in front of her. Just now, the Master Son-in-law had clearly fallen ill and was rolling on the ground in a different place, and she had just come over to get help for him. But now that she was here, she had actually encountered another Master Son-in-law? This caused Tina’s little head to become completely confused. She did not know what had happened at all. This made her momentarily speechless.
“Ahhhh ~ ~ ~”
At this moment, a shrill scream was heard. When Jack heard it, he frowned and said, “Who is screaming over there?”
Tina pointed in the direction of the screams, then back at Jack. She was still too nervous to speak.
Seeing this, Jack knew that it would probably be difficult to get the answer from Tina, so he went around Tina and walked quickly in the direction of the screams. Tina also ran quickly and followed Jack closely.
Soon, Jack saw the screaming person, but when he saw this person, he was stunned. “What the heck? What’s going on? Why does this person look exactly the same as me?”
Jack also pointed at the person screaming on the floor and said, “He… I… he…”
Tina ran over and nodded suddenly. “Yes, yes, yes.” Her meaning was obvious. “Master Son-in-law, do you know now why I don’t know what to say?”
At this moment, the other servants had also come running over when they heard the screams. When they saw that there were actually two Master Son-in-laws, they were all very shocked and did not know what had happened.
Jack quickly calmed himself down, and then he quickly walked over and pressed down on the other party. Just as he made contact with the other party, Jack could sense that the other party had magical power in his body. This meant that the other party was also a Mage, but his level was not great. Like him, he was also a level-1 Mage. However, what Jack cultivated was the silver-tier Wave Meditation Technique, so his strength was naturally much higher than the other party. After he had restrained the other party with ease, he took a closer look and saw that the other party’s appearance was indeed identical to his. They seemed to be carved from the same mold, except that the other party’s face had twisted up because of the pain.
“Ah ~ ~ ~ ~”
At this moment, Jack saw the other party let out an even more painful scream, and then he fainted. Then, Jack was shocked to find that the other party’s face had changed rapidly. Soon, it became another completely unfamiliar face.
“This is… the disguise technique!”
When Jack saw this scene, he immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that this person had used a disguise technique to impersonate him and enter their house. This definitely could not be something good.
“Tie him up!” Jack said angrily.
“As ordered.” Seeing this, the other servants immediately swarmed forward and tied up the person who was already unconscious.
In the ancestral hall, Karuman retracted his mental strength and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. The pain that the impostor Jack had suffered earlier was naturally caused by him. From the moment the other party entered the Nicholas family, Karuman had already discovered him and had been using his mental strength to track the other party. He had waited till just now to make a move because he wanted to see what the other party was up to. Sure enough, the other party was up to no good! He had wanted to leave after rummaging through Sonia’s room. However, how could he allow the other party to leave? Then, he used his mental strength to attack the other party. Although it was only a mental power attack, he was a level-4 Great Archmage, and the other party was only a small level-1 Mage. The strength of the two of them was worlds apart. Therefore, even though he had only used his mental strength to stab the other party, it had made him want to die. Now that the other party had been caught, he could not even be bothered with what happened later to such a mere level-1 Mage.
Romo naturally saw all of this. He was also a little angry. Now, these people were really willing to do anything for money. What this little thief had done was clearly for the secret formulas of soap and perfume. Previously, these people had attempted to steal the secret formulas only by sending an ordinary person to the factory to learn it secretly. But now, they had brazenly sent someone to their house to steal the secret formulas, and he was even a level-1 Mage. Although he was not very strong, he was still a Mage.. To be able to order a Mage around, the other party was probably not an ordinary merchant but a Mage family.
