"You're quite strong. Besides, you're already in the Body Fusion Realm, so targeting a Manifestor like me seems a bit odd.
Aren't you concerned about becoming a laughingstock? Even if you've shielded your aura, there's still a chance it might leak out if we fight. That would put you in jeopardy as the rest might hunt you down and kill you. Why don't we discuss this instead? What do you want? I might be able to provide it without resorting to violence," Jacob proposed.
It wasn't that Jacob feared Finnian. While Finnian might be at the Third Level of Body Fusion Realm and his subordinates were Top Level Manifestors, even if Jacob wasn't their equal and decided to flee, these demons wouldn't be able to prevent his escape.
However, Valeria's presence complicated matters. Jacob had to factor in her safety. Engaging in a fight would make it challenging for him to ensure her safety.
