Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 55

Recently, storms were raging in Riverside City.

First, it was the elite family of the Hansens whose descendants disappeared overnight and the head of the family was changed.

Next, it was the changes to the Bell family. Lenard stepped down and his daughter Lena Bell became the head of the family.

Shortly thereafter, the leader of the Eagle branch of Buddy League died horribly. The battle that swept through the Street of Bars led to the redrawing of the territories.

The elite families of Riverside City started to sense an ominous feeling in the atmosphere.

Perhaps, the lasting peace of Riverside City was going to be shattered very soon.

The person behind all these changes was Jacob and he hadn’t revealed himself for these couple of days. He put his heart and mind into cultivation and building himself up.

On the day of the dinner party for Riverside University

Jacob didn’t participate in the school activities during the day.

Under the enthusiastic invitation of the Headmaster Tex and Kaley’s eager expectations, Jacob decided to go for the dinner party. He proceeded to the hotel to participate in the dinner partys.

Each year for the dinner party of Riverside University, successful and powerful graduates would be invited along with many of the leaders of Riverside City.

Thus, most of those who received the invitation would attend the dinner party whether they were available or otherwise.

Of course, the intent was to expand one’s networking and get to know people of authority rather than the university’s dinner party.

Each year numerous partnerships were forged during Riverside University’s annual dinner party.

The dinner party had already begun when Jacob arrived.

After the invitation card was presented, the attendant led Jacob to the banquet hall.

At the banquet hall, people were everywhere. Each was elegantly dressed, well-spoken, and of immaculate presentation.

In comparison, Jacob was dressed shabbily and was obviously out of place.

But Jacob didn’t feel awkward and walked directly in.

He wanted to find Kaley. Kaley was his main reason for attending this banquet. After all, Kaley had been anticipating this for a while and had bought several expensive clothes for him.

But those clothes were inappropriate to be worn during his cultivation. Other than when Jacob tried them on, he had not touched them again.

Today, Jacob attended the banquet right after his cultivation and didn’t have the chance to change into them.

Before Jacob could locate Kaley, he was called out by several people.

“Isn’t that Jacob?”

As Jacob walked past a table with a spread of desserts, someone beside it remarked aloud.

Jacob turned and looked at several well-dressed men and ladies who were now looking towards him.

They were roughly at his age.

From the ‘original’ Jacob’s memory, these were Jacob’s University classmates.

When they were attending University, he knew that these people were from wealthy families.

Among them was someone who Jacob knew very well.

It happened to be Channing Walter.

At this moment, Channing looked at Jacob with some evil intentions.

Jacob smirked when he saw Channing. Channing would be devastated if he were to find out that he had contracted HIV!

Jacob saw that they were simply surprised to see him and didn’t intend to invite him over to reminisce about the past.

So, he nodded towards the classmates as a sign of acknowledgment.

“Geez, what the fuck?” One bespectacled man said unhappily.

“If it wasn’t for his god damn luck to be married into the Harris family and became Kaley’s move-in husband, who would even remember him?” Another somewhat chubby man remarked aloud.

“But I seem to remember that he wasn’t around during the daytime activities. How come he is here during the evening banquet?” A beautiful lady in an evening gown said as she frowned slightly.

They were upset with Jacob’s attitude.

During the daytime activities, they who had graduated would be allocated by the school according to their fields of study and class. The same arrangement was done for the evening banquet where their seats were allocated according to their fields of study and class. Those who wanted to mingle with others could do so as they wished.

Yet, they didn’t see Jacob during the day.

“Could it be that he didn’t receive the invitation and he sneaked in on his own?”

Channing laughed sarcastically.

He looked towards Jacob with full of disdain.

If it wasn’t for Ternence getting killed and if Kaley was kidnapped, drugged, and raped, he might take pity on Jacob for being cuckolded.
