After waving his hand to drive everyone away, Gerald made sure he parked his car properly while wondering to himself what was wrong with today’s society. So what if one was rich? If everything could be resolved with money, then Gerald wouldn’t have to continue searching like this. Shaking the thought off, Gerald then looked at the campus building before heading in its direction to continue his search for a woman with a strong yin physique. What happened earlier was simply a small episode, and Gerald’s thoughts were soon replaced with a slight nostalgia as he stepped into the campus again after graduating for over two years. As the saying went, life was a circle that went round and round. Regardless of whether a person was rich or poor, they would always end up returning to where they came from. True to that saying’s words, all of this had started in this very university. After all, Gerald had first been told that he was the heir of the Crawford family while he was studying he
Hearing that, the girls made sure to thank Gerald first as soon as he got close enough to them. Even when they did so, however, Gerald was still feeling slightly absentminded. After all, he was constantly being bombarded with nostalgic memories of his own, back when he was still studying here. Eventually, Gerald snapped out of it and got into position before saying, “Well, I’ll be taking the picture now if you girls are ready!” “We’re all good to go!” said the girls after getting into various poses as they laughed among themselves. Getting the confirmation he needed, Gerald slowly raised the camera. Once he was sure that everyone was within the picture, he then said, “Alright, on the count of, one! Two! Three- f*ck!” Out of the blue, Gerald suddenly jolted in both surprise and excitement, resulting in the camera being thrown into the air! By the time everyone relevant realized what was happening, the camera had already collided onto the ground! With its lens slightly cracke
Yulisa’s tone was beyond contemptuous as she said that. “…Regardless, let’s just forget about taking the pictures for now and focus more on the camera issue first… Once we’re done, we can go eat out at Dominoes or something…” said the long-haired girl as she shook her head. “What? We can’t just let him off just like that! We have to make sure he pays us for all that damage!” replied Yulisa, clearly unwilling to let Gerald off that easily. “Just forget it already!” said the long-haired girl in a rather awkward tone as she watched as more and more people began excitedly gathering around them to see what the commotion was about. As she continued trying to pull her friends away from him, Gerald quickly turned to look at the long-haired girl before saying, “Hold on! Could… Could you give me your contact information? I still need to transfer the money over to you later, you know?” Hearing that, Yulisa and her friends instantly became dumbfounded. F*cking hell! To think that after d
“Holy! It’s Preston!” squealed several of the girls eating there, clearly stunned by the sudden romantic turn of events. Most girls could only dream to be surprised so romantically, so there was no way that they were going to be able to remain calm now that such a situation was happening right before their very eyes. What more, the person confessing was even kneeling on one leg while holding out a bouquet of roses in his hand! No matter how frigid a girl’s heart was, any girl would find themselves melting in sheer delight after being confessed to like this! Girls just had a general tendency to prefer guys who did such pleasantly surprising things. Regardless, with such a scene actually being played out before the other girls now, envy and slight hatred were the only emotions currently reflected in their eyes. While the same emotions ran through Yulisa and the rest of Noelle’s friends, they were simultaneously excited for her, and they quickly stepped aside to give Preston and
“Hah! If he really intends to beat me up then I’d gladly allow him to make the first blow!” sneered Zacky as he got up and began walking toward Gerald. Gerald himself had just made up his mind that whatever his next course of action was, he still needed to find Noelle first. Before he could leave, however, he suddenly heard someone calling out, “Hey, kid! Hold on a minute!” Sensing that a firm hand was attempting to grab onto his shoulder—before he could even turn to see who was calling him—Gerald’s body instinctively went on the defensive. With Zacky’s hand inches away from his shoulder, Gerald tilted his shoulder slightly, causing a rebound in energy that immediately sent Zacky flying backward! It was only after knocking over at least a dozen tables and chairs that Zacky finally came to a halt! “F*ck!” shouted Zacky, feeling as though he had just suffered a massive defeat as he clung onto his now-numb arm. Even the boss and the other man had already stood up by this poi
“Now Aiden, you know me well enough to know that I’m not the kind of person who enjoys chasing after girls in the first place! I’m only doing what I did since I need that girl to help me with something!” replied Gerald as he shook his head, a wry smile on his face. Gerald chose not to go into detail—about the fact that he needed invigorating blood from a female with a strong yin physique—since he didn’t want Aiden to worry about him. Since both Aiden and Yoel had already helped him a lot in the past, now that they could finally afford to have a stable life, Gerald didn’t want to drag them into his own problematic situations again. Explaining things in only the most general sense was an active choice on Gerald’s part. “Hahaha! I see, I see… Well if that’s the case, consider yourself lucky to have bumped into me! After all, if you didn’t already know, I’m an expert at pursuing girls!” said Aiden with a laugh. “As I’ve said, I’m not trying to pursue her… I’m simply trying to get h
Their current goal was to get the thief to head to South Street. Once he was there, they would force him into the trap and capture him as soon as possible. With that in mind, Aiden quickly drove there and within five minutes, they arrived at the street. Upon arriving at the scene, Gerald saw that they were only five personnel waiting for the thief on South Street. Aiden truly wasn’t kidding when he said that their manpower was scarce. “How’s the situation?” asked Aiden the second he came close enough to the group that was already there. “As stated earlier, we’ve already locked onto Maverick and he’s going to be arriving at South Street any second now. We’ll be trying to stop him from advancing any further here. Speaking of which, why are there only three of you? Didn’t you say that you managed to get more capable hands?” asked the leader of the other team who was a rather tall woman. Hearing that, Gerald instantly stepped out of the car. He had remained seated inside earlier
“That’s right!” replied Aiden rather proudly. Since the Gerald he once knew barely had any fighting capabilities, Aiden had definitely been caught by surprise by how capable and impressive Gerald now was. Regardless, after witnessing Gerald’s true strength with his very own eyes, Aiden was certain that with Gerald’s help, they would surely be able to capture the rapist easily. If Aiden was going to be completely honest, even the most legendary of fighters in the military district weren’t worthy enough to be Gerald’s opponents at all. “…So it really is him…?” said Maia as both she and Warren took turns shaking their heads, wry smiles on their faces. “Is team Aiden really pulling our leg now? While it’s true that Gerald has a prominent background and he was quite a formidable figure in Mayberry City back then, I hope you realize that we’re currently dealing with the very cunning and capable Maverick! As a rich heir yourself, I’m sure you’ve had a good history with Gerald, but are
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, “W-what power…!” As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Attack…!” And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire sky…! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Daryl’s devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! “No…!” howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate… yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up… Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever… “Darling, it’s your brother’s wedding day today… Shouldn’t we head over earlier? You’ve been dolling yourself up for ages!” “Fine, dad… Though, isn’t Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brother’s gone through so many hardsh
‘Daryl’s been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfather’s body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!’ ‘In order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lord’s efforts, they’ve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?’ explained Finnley. ‘…So that’s the truth… Then, how’s Mila?’ asked Gerald. ‘She’s fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!’ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear… Still, as it turned out, the Sun League weren’t villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the
His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didn’t take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish power…! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sect’s master scoffed, “I know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit won’t save you this time!” Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, “…Who on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?” Laughing in response, the master then said, “Oh, you’ll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supreme…!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown even more.
“…This formation. It feels… familiar,” muttered Sanchez. “Same thought here. I think it’s the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!” replied Gerald. “Ah, no wonder it felt so familiar… Though, wasn’t this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?” asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sect’s other mysterious and bizarre formations… Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future… Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, “I read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating… and it wasn’t long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches… In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, “…These…” Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, “…I take it that the herbalist they’re looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?” “…Well, it’s hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasn’t right… Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?” muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. “I really can’t say…! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!” replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. “…Is that the truth?” “I swear on my life!” exc
“Flaxen, you bloody traitor…!” roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, “Who… Who the hell are you people…?!”“You don’t need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,” scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.“…Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think I’ll comply so easily?” growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand… and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor man’s arms!“If you want your other limbs intact, don’t make me repeat the question,” growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,
From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zeman’s books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, “So, they want to ambush some herb lady… Is she the one we’re looking for?” Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, “I had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!” Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldn’t help but scoff,
There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Daryl’s hideout… Hopefully the Yinblood pellet—that was now in his hands—would aid with that effort… As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearl’s instructions. After all, he’d only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Gerald’s cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared… Re
Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldn’t help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that they’d never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, “You’re really something else, Gerald…! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the general’s tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!” “Oh, don’t you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, I’m sure you’ll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if you’re already thinking about killing me t
