Chapter 79

Thrilled and overjoyed, Charlie quickly stuffed the Apocalyptic Book into his pocket, but the book instantly turned into powder and disappeared into thin air. Miraculously, every word in the book was clearly imprinted in Charlie’s brain. At this moment, Jacob, who ran away like a coward, was brutally apprehended by several big and strong men and was hurled back to the shop. Looking at his puffy and swelling cheeks, Charlie figured that he must have been beaten vigorously before he was carried back here. Charlie found Jacob’s piteous look very funny and amusing. How dare this old coot label him as a scapegoat after getting into trouble! It was outrageous! A little beating was necessary as a punishment for him to learn his lesson. Jacob was in a particularly dreaded and shaky position right now. Due to his desperate escape earlier, he was panting profusely like a dog, trying to catch his breath. His chubby and fragile body made it impossible for him to outrun those young people.
