Chapter 31: Do You Want It?

“Yes, you’re right. I’ve never seen a woman sent to Jacob come back alive,” the Eclipse Nightclub manager said, hesitating. “But there’s one thing. Not everyone catches Jacob’s eye. In the past three years, we’ve sent women to him, but he hasn’t found anyone he liked.”

The server nodded. “True, Jacob has high standards. That’s why he offers such high prices.” He recalled how Jacob had once announced a reward of one million dollars for anyone who could find a woman that met his criteria.

Everyone thought it would be easy—just send over pretty, innocent, or seductive girls. But to everyone’s shock, Jacob chose the ugliest one because she had an attractive scar. That girl had come willingly to save her father. No one had wanted to push her forward at first, but in the end, she was selected solely for her beautiful scar.

At the time, they all thought they’d get a million dollars, but that girl ended up suffering terribly, her body mutilated. Even those who had seen all sorts of things in the club were horrified. After that incident, Jacob gained a notorious reputation.

Now, the price had risen to five million, but few dared to send women to him anymore. He demanded high standards and only wanted scars that were visually appealing. Furthermore, the scars he had seen in the past, after experiencing them just once, he never wanted to revisit. Jacob might not even find Claire’s scars appealing.

The server expressed his concern, “What if Jacob actually likes her?”

The manager frowned. “If he does, we’ll notify Frederick immediately. I don’t want to offend either of them, but if I have to choose, I’d rather offend Jacob.”

“After all, Jacob is nothing compared to Frederick. This is a disaster; we only meant to scare her, and now it’s turned into this.” The manager was frustrated but knew he had to choose between Jacob and Frederick.

Just then, his phone rang. There was a disturbance in the lobby, and the police had arrived. “Stay here and let me know the moment you hear anything,” he instructed the server, rubbing his temples in frustration before heading out to handle the situation.

“Yes, manager, I understand,” the server replied, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.

In the private room, Charlie had just finished his call. “So, what did Jacob say?” someone asked eagerly. “Does he want her?”

A group of people rushed over anxiously, all asking about the result. “Wait for the reply; we still don’t know the situation yet. You all know Jacob has very high standards. Let’s wait; there should be a message before dawn tomorrow,” Charlie said uncertainly.

“Five million dollars, you know that’s five million! I hope Jacob will take this woman.”

“Yeah, that’s more money than I could ever earn in my lifetime.”

“God bless, may we successfully deliver this woman.”

Five million dollars was undoubtedly a huge temptation for these people. Suddenly, everyone was nervously and anxiously waiting. Some prayed silently in their hearts; others clasped their hands together, asking God for blessings.

Only Claire, with her mouth gagged, was sweating profusely with fear. She wasn’t clear on who this Jacob character was, but from the way these people described him, having such a special fetish for beautiful scars, he must be a very disgusting pervert. When she thought about what she might have to go through next, her scalp tingled.

But what could she do now? She was firmly controlled by this group, her mouth gagged. She couldn’t call for help or escape. They had even taken her phone, and if they hadn’t taken it, she could have called Frederick…

Ah, thinking about this, Claire felt even more ridiculous. Frederick hated her so much; he probably wished she would be cruelly tortured by these people. How could he possibly come to save her? As far as he was concerned, her value was just leaving her alive to block Caroline’s knife.

Outside the private room, the waiter who had been waiting heard Charlie’s words about getting a reply before dawn and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the manager would come over after dealing with the main hall. Suddenly, his stomach started to hurt with a gurgling pain. He remembered the super spicy dish he had eaten early in the morning.

It was really one misfortune after another. The waiter held his butt, thinking he could hold it for a while, but no matter what he couldn’t resist, and it looked like he was about to pull down his pants right there. He looked at the private room, thinking that Charlie had said Jacob’s reply would come soon, just before dawn. He should be able to go to the bathroom without delaying things, so he rushed to the bathroom.

But just as the waiter left, Charlie’s phone rang. “Jacob said, bring the person over.”
