"You're not a match for me if you're taking me on alone," Jacob goaded.
I might not be able to defeat Duncan alone, but I'll surely lose if Duncan attacks me with his men.
"How insolent!" Duncan's eyes narrowed as he waved his arm. "Step back, all of you. No one moves without my order."
Duncan dismissed his subordinates.
Jacob turned to Natalia. "Ms. Jordan, take Maddie and the members of Ruby Palace back into the building. Don't come near us no matter what happens."
"Mr. Sullen, this man is a Martial Arts Marquis. I fear…"
Natalia could feel Duncan's aura was at the level of a Martial Arts Marquis. She feared Jacob was no match for him.
"Rest assured. Ronan was a Martial Arts Marquis too. Yet, I defeated him."
Jacob gave her a reassuring smile. "There's not much you can do to help in a battle like this or you will sacrifice for no reason. Thus, no matter what happens, no one should come forward or you guys might distract me and do me a disservice if you tried to help me."
