Jacob's eyes flickered violently when he noticed the nine cloaked figures in this vicinity. Furthermore, judging by their attire and the projection map, Jacob knew it wasn't a coincidence; not to mention, this wasn't some commercial area, but the depths of a forbidden region.
Considering these facts, something came to Jacob's mind, 'Could they be the ones who won the bid for that map? Didn't this mean they are related to the Champion King?'
Jacob was more curious than apprehensive because he didn't put the Champion King in his eyes, no matter what kind of glorious history he had, because at the end of it all, the latter was still a Legendary King, not a Quasi-Myth.
Furthermore, Jacob was quite curious about why, now of all times, they had decided to look for the Yang Flame. After all, the Champion King had won that map a few decades ago.
