The three youths sitting before him went by Yong Haas, Jacque Lennox, and Ferdo Bach, and they were none other than the young masters of the prestigious Haas, Lennox, and Bach families of Schwater City. Since they were three of the Famous Four of Schywater, it was evident that they had complex backgrounds. What more, they were even shareholders of Schywater University, and the only shareholder that could rival them was the Yonjour Group. Then again, the four families were nothing in the presence of that group… Whatever the case was, Yong—who was sitting on the couch—couldn’t help but ask in a playful tone, “Say… I heard rumors that you got beaten up by someone, Yash! Are the rumors true?” Upon hearing that, Yash simply looked at Yong without saying a word. Just as he had feared, gossip about him being beaten up had already spread like wildfire throughout the university… How embarrassing… “To think that that brazen kid was able to defeat Yash… Where do you think he comes from?
With that said, Gerald then got up and left with the documents in hand… Natallie herself didn’t think much of it, knowing full well that Gerald had his own way of doing things. With that in mind, she simply did as she was told… Regardless, it wasn’t too long before Gerald arrived at the hospital. Naturally, he was there to meet Raine and her family. Either way, the second they saw him, everyone from Raine’s family couldn’t help but smile. Dexter himself couldn’t help but ask, “Gerald? What are you doing here? Aren’t you busy…? Are you sure we aren’t taking too much of your time…?” Simply smiling in response, Gerald then replied, “It’s fine, uncle. Regardless, I’m here to discuss something with all of you.” Seeing how confused they were after hearing that, Gerald then looked at the couple before adding, “I heard from Raine that the place you’re all currently staying in is about to get demolished. I’ve also been told that you still haven’t found a place to stay yet, is that r
Regardless, it was a few days later when Raine’s mother was finally discharged from the hospital. It was also the day Raine’s family would move into the villa. With that in mind, Gerald had made sure to remind Raine and Dexter to pack all their clothes and personal belongings before getting Raine’s mother from the hospital. That way, Gerald could immediately drive all of them to the villa once Raine’s mother was discharged. Then again, there wasn’t much to pack in the first place. After all, as Gerald had previously said, the villa was already fully equipped with furniture and electrical appliances. Whatever the case was, the second the trio entered the villa, they were instantly left dumbfounded. It took him a while to snap out of it, but when he finally did, Dexter couldn’t help but fumble a few steps forward while exclaiming, “M-my god… This… This is extravagant…!” Yollande and Raine themselves remained stupefied in silence, unable to believe that they were going to live h
“I’m glad you do…. Speaking of which, I’ve already acquired Schywater University. Just thought you’d like to know,” replied Gerald, instantly stunning Raine once more. Seriously? He had bought the entire university so casually?! This was truly a feat only Gerald could do… “So, you’re the biggest shareholder of Schywater University now… No wonder you weren’t afraid of the Famous Four of Schywater!” exclaimed Raine as she put two and two together. Then again, Raine was only half right about that assumption. Even if Gerald hadn’t acquired Schywater University, he would’ve remained unafraid of the Famous Four. After all, to him, they were simply four playboys who didn’t need to be feared or even looked up to. As long as they didn’t trouble him, he wouldn’t even bother about them. However, if they did, he would simply destroy them along with their families. After all, everyone knew that offending the Yonjour Group was never a good idea since the consequences would always be devast
After all, the duo knew that they were Earla’s only family. If they didn’t treat Earla well, who else would? Whatever the case was, it was rather late at night when Gerald finally parted ways with the two girls, prompting the duo to head to Natallie’s room. As promised, Earla slept together with Natallie, and Natallie made sure to hug her tight as they slept comfily… Gerald himself opened a bottle of wine as soon as he got to his room’s balcony. Leaning against his lawn chair as he took a sip of wine, Gerald then stared at the beautiful night sky… As they said, night truly was the best time for people to think their life through… Taking another sip of wine, Gerald couldn’t help but think about the fact that he was immune to getting drunk. Even so, he still enjoyed the thrill of drinking alcohol, so who cared? Either way, after taking a few more sips, Gerald couldn’t help but start thinking about his father… Imagining his father’s face as he stared at the starry sky, Gerald
Following that, she turned to look at Natallie and said, “Um… Could we go to the washroom, Miss Moon…?” “Sure! Let’s go!” replied Natallie as she immediately led Earla to the washroom… Gerald himself followed them until he found a bench—that had a flower bed right behind it—within view of the washrooms… Even from afar, however, the trio had already noticed a long line of ladies waiting to use the bathroom. Then again, this wasn’t really out of the ordinary. The fact that nobody was lining up to use the gents was normal as day as well. Whatever the case was, Natallie and Earla naturally had to queue as well, and it was about fifteen minutes later before it was finally the duo’s turn to enter… However, just as they were about to enter, a woman suddenly cut the line and stood before them! Seeing that, Natallie immediately held onto the woman’s wrist—before she could enter—and said, “Hey, now! Wait your turn!” Upon hearing that, the woman instantly turned to glare at her be
Shaking her head, Earla then said, “Not at all, Mr. Crawford! You’re so awesome…!” While Earla’s cheek had stung quite a bit earlier, the second Gerald touched it, the pain simply vanished. It was truly magical…! Either way, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. With that done, Gerald then got up again before staring at the woman from earlier who had just crawled back to her feet. Glaring at him, the enraged woman then yelled, “You…! How dare you hit me…?! Don’t you know who I am?!” Upon hearing that, Gerald simply squinted his eyes, revealing an icy glare that could pierce a soul… He definitely wasn’t letting her off easy now…! “Like that matters! Titles are only given to humans, and you’re clearly an animal for even daring to treat a young girl this way!” retorted Gerald. “…Yeah, he’s right! Besides, she was the one who started it all by cutting the line!” “I know right? As if she’d react any differently if someone cut her line!” Hearing all the bystan
Upon hearing that, Zuri was stunned. After all, not only was Gerald more fearless than she had anticipated, but he didn’t seem to care about her high position at all! Was he not afraid of the Zachariah Group in the least…? Gerald himself was simply waiting to see if she truly was going to make the call. After all, the second she did, he would no longer hesitate to end the Zachariah Group. By that point, any amount of regret from Zuri would be useless… Either way, Zuri wasn’t about to get outdone and mocked, so she gritted her teeth before yelling, “…Fine! Since you want to get kicked out of the city so much, be my guest!” Following that, Gerald, Natallie, and Earla simply watched calmly as she began fishing her phone out. Gerald himself couldn’t help but think, ‘Messing with us, huh? We’ll make sure to properly take you on, then!’ Regardless, it was about ten seconds later when the call finally connected. The second it did, Zuri’s tone immediately did a one-eighty as she whimpe
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
