Jacob regained his calm as he spoke impassively, "How do you know I was looking for you? Besides, even if I were looking for the enigmatic Dark Earl, I don't think you would be so kind as to approach me just because of this reason. Everything aside, I don't believe you are the Dark Earl."

Although Jacob was really looking for Dark Earl and it would've been alright if he had approached the other party. But the thing was, the Dark Earl approached him, which changed everything.

First, he needed to confirm if this was the real deal or not, and second, he needed to know why he even bothered to contact him.

Hallberg guffawed all of a sudden on the other side, which made Jacob's eyes narrow.

He finally spoke in an amusing tone, "You're really careful and mistrustful, huh? Well, a person of your caliber should be like this. Since you don't believe I'm the real deal, how about you pay me a visit to the noble circle?"
