“D*mn it!” Gerald felt like he was about to have a headache.Those two women were indeed the most shameless women Gerald had ever met in his whole lifetime, even more so than Xavia. He asked them to bark like a dog, and they did so without any hesitation. Actually, both Dawn and Nyla had risked everything they had. They would certainly cling onto Mr. Crawford vigorously no matter what he asked them to do.It was indeed such an effective tactic. Gerald was speechless now. He waved his hand. “Just come along if you want!”“Mr. Crawford!” At that moment, Wyatt shouted. He raised both of his hands and bent his body slightly. He then squeezed out of the crowd and ran toward Gerald. “Mr. Crawford. I didn’t know who you are just now. I was wrong. Please forgive my bad manners. I’m Wyatt Light. We were introduced to each other just now.” Wyatt held both of his hands in midair, wanting to have a closer contact with him, shaking his hands.Mr. Crawford was indeed not someone wh
Soon, Gerald reached the college.He went straight to his own department classroom. When he reached the west entrance, he saw that it was crowded. There were a lot of students from different departments, and they almost blocked the road.Gerald saw Harper and the others who stood in the crowd. So he squeezed his way into the crowd.Then only he saw what was happening. A girl was standing at the west entrance, holding up a sign pitifully.She lowered her head greatly. But Gerald recognized her at first sight. It was none other than Layla. Beside her, there were Cassandra, Victor, and the president of the student union—Whitney. At that moment, Layla acted like a background image, giving the others the chance to snap their photographs with her. “Gerald, here you are. It’s so frustrating!” Harper patted Gerald’s shoulders slightly. He then said angrily, “Layla is indeed in some crisis now. But the class representative is over the line. It’s fine if they want to hold a
Gerald, are you even aware of what you are talking about right now? I must warn you now. Get lost this instant. Otherwise, you’ll be expelled!”Cassandra valued her dignity and fame so much. She was outraged when she heard Gerald condemning them like that.Victor was even more so.“You’re just a poor pathetic person. Don’t feel so smug about yourself just because you won a lottery. How dare you shove me away!”Then, Victor grabbed Gerald’s hair and dragged him along. He then slapped Gerald’s face directly. Victor was certainly a bad-tempered man. He came from a rich family. When was he being treated like that?Besides, Gerald was not as strong as he was.Gerald felt quite painful, being slapped by him. “Please don’t beat him up anymore. Victor, I’m begging you. Don’t beat him up! I don’t want this donation anymore. Just don’t beat him up!” Layla was deeply frightened. She then rushed toward Victor and grabbed him since that incident happened because of her. “Get lost!
Gerald did not bother about their sneers and sarcastic remarks. He only took out his phone and sent Zack a message, telling him what happened with Victor and his family affairs.Then, he dragged Layla back to the classroom. Harper knew that Gerald was now facing great trouble. The Wrights were indeed a wealthy family. Victor’s father was involved in international business, and they were indeed rich. Besides, his father was a local in Mayberry, so he could be considered a powerful and influential person there.But Harper and the others still stayed with Gerald, disregarding those things.“Gerald, are you hiding in the classroom? The department director wants to meet you!”At that moment, Whitney opened the door of the classroom where Gerald was. She then crossed her arms in front of her and said lightly.“By the way, you’re Harper, aren’t you? Go and help to pack up his things. If not, he has to do it himself after he returns to the classroom later.” She did that just b
“Why are you in such a rush? I haven’t even finished filling in the form yet. I’ll answer it when I’m done!”There were a lot of people who would call him up. Normally, Gerald would answer the call right away.But he did not want to do so, seeing how anxious Jacob became. By the way, Gerald had eaten twice with Mr. Raine before. They knew about each other well. They did not have to be so civil toward each other. “Why are you still filling in the form? Go and pick it up! Why is Mr. Raine calling you up? Faster pick it up!” The call went dead.Nobody answered the call for a long time, so it was hung up directly.Jacob sneered. “Gerald, you’re indeed a dumb person! You deserve it for being…”The phone rang again.“Come! Faster pick up the phone!” This time around, Jacob quickly snatched the pen in Gerald’s hand away directly. He then helped Gerald to answer the phone and put it near his ear.However, Gerald did not even stretch his hand out to take the phone from Jacob
“Mr. Crawford, it’s a misunderstanding! It’s nothing but a misunderstanding!” Jacob was deeply anxious. “What is the misunderstanding? I couldn’t even survive now in Mayberry. Faster let me leave college!” Gerald wanted to sign the form. “Mr. Crawford, I was wrong. I was indeed wrong. Actually, I could just give you a light punishment for it. But I listened to the others and wanted to expel you from the college.” If the chancellor knew that he wanted to expel that Mr. Crawford of Mayberry from the college, he would certainly be ruined. Even if the chancellor knew nothing about that, he would certainly be ruined and punished severely given that he wanted to expel Mr. Crawford. “Fine. Then what to do next regarding this incident? Cassandra asked a student to do such a thing in public. It certainly hurt that student’s self-esteem greatly!” Gerald did not even know when he started to have some slight changes.When he was dealing with things now, he was not the shy and cowa
At that moment, Cassandra sent a message to his other social media account. “I’m outraged! Ordinary Man! I want to go and kill myself! What should I do?” Cassandra said so.Actually, Gerald became angry when he saw Cassandra’s name. “If you don’t want to live on, just go and die! What more can you do?” Gerald made a swift reply. “Oh! You’re so annoying! I just want to tell you some of the things which upset me.” Gerald was tongue-tied. He did use quite a vicious tone.But how could Cassandra use such a sweet tone on him, behaving like a spoilt child. Gerald did not know how to reply to his message.“Humph! I always care about you, but you never care about me. I’m so sad!“But I still want to tell you about it. You know what, Ordinary Man. I could only pour out my feelings and speak freely with you.“Something happened today. Do you know about the fundraising campaign for my department? Just because of one pathetic poor b*stard from my class, the campaign was ruined
The door of the car was opened. The four women were stunned.‘What?‘Does this luxurious car belong to Gerald?‘Isn’t he a poor man from our department? How could he afford to drive such a beautiful and luxurious car?’They turned to look at Gerald, and their facial expressions changed drastically. That car alone was much more expensive than Victor’s Audi car. They sneered. ‘So what about Victor? It’s so much better than Victor’s!‘How cool this Lamborghini car is!’ The leader from among the girls became pale. She then rushed toward Gerald and said nervously, “Gerald, is this car really yours? Is this yours?”“If not, is it yours?” Gerald seemed to be used to that kind of woman and their tones. He soon said coldly. “Ah! This car is so cool! Is it around one to two million dollars?”That woman soon got near the car. She completely lost herself by then. ‘Look at this luxurious car! If I’m able to even sit in this car for even once, I’ll be so happy that I might die!’ T
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
