Chapter 965 Emily Was Trapped In The Fire (2/2)

cob was the only thing he could think about now.

Jacob was still tied up though. If Seamus had even a hint of sense, he could have realized that it would have been impossible for Jacob to have started the fire, but Seamus had totally lost his rationality now.

”Where is she?” Jacob asked again and again.

He surveyed the houses on fire around them with the limited vision that the slit of his eyes provided. He had no intention of confronting Seamus at all, and instead hoped that he could get Emily out of danger as soon as possible.

”Where is she? Now you remember her! Did you ever consider that she might be in one of these burning houses when you set the fire? Don't you know that she's also made of flesh and bones and will be burned by fire just like everyone else?” Seamus roared.

His voice was pitching, but it was not remarkable among the dreary cries and screams of the other fire victims. Seamus realized that he was trembling all over, while a frightful expression twisted his face, seeming to indicate that he would swallow Jacob at any moment.

”Where is she?” Jacob kept insisting stubbornly.

Jacob's eyes were bathed in crimson due to the blood flowing down his face from numerous cuts and welts. No one could have read the expression he was wearing now, but he sounded like a furious lion king. Suddenly, he felt the blood-soaked rope on his hands loosen. He lifted his hand with all his strength and punched Seamus in his face. Unexpectedly, Seamus was knocked down on the ground and Jacob got on top of him, pressing his head into the mud and asking desperately, ”Where is she?”

He punched Seamus with such strength that he didn't even know where it had magically come from. Seamus struggled to get Jacob off him, but it was in vain no matter how hard he tried. Things had happened too swiftly, and there was no-one who was able to do anything.

Harriet suddenly showed up in front of them. She shouted at Jacob, ”I know where she is! Come with me!” She then pointed at the flaming house behind them.

Jacob stopped immediately and got up without any further hesitation. Dragging Seamus with him, he stumbled toward the house, which was burning down.
