Jacob's unexpected question made those eight even more shocked than his presence in this place. Furthermore, with Jacob's unknown strength, they were apprehensive.
The other seven glanced at the first one, who had just spoken, silently, and the latter knew they were leaving to deal with Jacob.
Feeling the gravity of the situation, he had no choice but to reply, "Sir, I think we have some misunderstanding between us. We were travelling when we lost our original path. How could we have any connection with someone like the Champion King?"
Jacob wasn't surprised by him denying any involvement with the Champion King, after all, at this moment, the Champion King was in the limelight because of the great war between the Life and the Dead Factions.
