Aside from feeling ashamed, she was also starting to grow a little nervous. All three of the women were feeling the same emotion.

They were terrified to even think about the possibility of Gerald actually being a big boss!

As Gerald left through the police station’s front door, he was surprised to see that Wesley—from the Bureau of Commerce—was already waiting for him in a car right outside.

Gerald got into the car.

Wesley smiled before saying, “Mr. Crawford, you were just a witness so why were you still being held on hold? Hahaha!”

Gerald knew that he was talking about the fact that Xyleena had continued to insist that he was an accomplice in the matter. “Don’t even mention it, she just has a small grudge on me.”

Gerald didn’t need to get into the details so he simply provided a simple answer.

“I see, I see… By the way, Mr. Crawford, there’s been something on my mind that I’m still unsure whether I should be sharing with you,” said Wesley with a smile as he continued to

    “Holy! That’s such a beautiful jade bracelet!” Everyone was equally shocked when they saw what lay inside the parcel. The receipt that came with the parcel made them even more shocked. The two bracelets had cost more than forty thousand dollars. “Hey, we want to see too!” Jacelyn started jumping and shouting on the other side of the screen. Harper and Benjamin took the jade bracelets out before showing it to them through his phone’s camera. Gerald’s other roommates continued looking at the boxes Even the boxes didn’t look cheap. Everyone was now convinced about one thing. Gerald was rich! That was an undeniable fact, At that moment, the boy standing by the door started whispering hurriedly, “Gerald’s back! Put it away quickly!” Harper immediately ended the video call as the other boys hurriedly placed the bracelets back into their original boxes. When Gerald opened the door to enter the dormitory, he saw that all his classmates were standing. They all looked flust

    Back then, his father lived in poverty and he had failed to pass the entrance examination to get into university. Therefore, Gerald’s grandfather had forced him to serve as a soldier in the army instead. There, he met his comrade-in-arms. After being in the army for two years, he returned to his hometown and took up farming. He needed the money since he was broke. Somehow, he managed to gather just enough to open a steamed bun shop and he stopped farming then. However, since his father wasn’t one to just let a thief escape when he saw one, he ended up maiming the thief. As a result, he had to give up his steamed bun shop to the other party as compensation. By then, he had also borrowed a lot of money and had a lot of foreign debt. It was a point in his life where he was so poor, that he didn’t even have the money to celebrate the New Year. Seeing no other hope, he decided to look for his comrade-in-arms. His comrade-in-arms lived within the country and came from a pretty ri

    “Who knows? Didn’t Giya say that he had an actual nosebleed the first time he saw her? Apparently he grew too excited from her scent! I don’t buy it honestly!” “Yeah! Why don’t boys have nosebleeds when they see me then? Don’t you agree Giya? I really think he’s looking for you!” The girls continued to chatter silently among themselves. Giya could only blush as she sat there. She had felt embarrassed back then in the library when Gerald had his nosebleed. Now she was even more embarrassed with her friends constantly teasing her about it. They were supposed to be studying now. Much earlier, Tammy had nudged Giya gently before pointing toward the door. Giya and her group of friends then saw Gerald entering with his books in hand. He seemed to be looking for someone for a while before finally deciding to sit down. His quirky actions had prompted the girls to start discussing about him. “Hey, Gerald!” yelled Tammy softly out of the blue. Since it was quiet in the librar

    However, Gerald’s heart was reserved solely for Mila. He had always felt guilty whenever he had too many interactions with girls like this. That was also the reason why Gerald had constantly hidden and kept his distance from both Alice and Jacelyn. Upon entering the dormitory, Gerald took the box containing the hetian jade bracelet. He then told Harper and the other boys about his plan before running downstairs to look for the girls again. While this was happening, the girls had arrived and found a table for themselves at the breakfast place. As soon as they sat down, Tammy and the other girls covered their mouths as they started laughing. “Giya, I’m very sure that Gerald kid really likes you!” “Same here! You girls may not know it, but I’ve already done some research on him. Gerald seems to be from the Department of Language and Literature. He’s also a pauper!” “So what if he’s poor? Do you think Giya’s someone who lacks money? At most, Giya can just give him a career

    It was at that moment when Gerald finally arrived. In his hand was his own bracelet which he had bought the day before. Though Giya had said that breakfast was going to be on her, Gerald had given it some thought while he was on his way there. Since he was planning to leave the girls alone once the bracelet had been handed over to her anyway, he might as well treat them to one final breakfast. He was prepared to pay the bill no matter what. However, as he approached their table, he noticed that Yacob was also there. What more, it seemed that Yacob had just given Giya his own bracelet gift. “Gerald! Over here!” Giya had not wanted to look at Yacob so she had been staring at the staircase. The moment she saw him, she smiled and waved her hand to call Gerald over. “Why’s that kid here too?” The expression on Yacob’s face instantly soured the moment he saw Gerald. It was a rare occasion for him to be able to spend time together with Giya and the other girls. However, Yaco

    “Heh. Hey, your name’s Gerald, right? Why don’t you take out the jade bracelet you bought for Giya and show it to us too?” In his mind, Yacob thought that Gerald was most definitely the reason why Giya had been ignoring him all this time. Therefore, he was targeting Gerald now. “Forget about mine! The jade bracelet which I bought is nowhere near as good as yours. You don’t have to look at it!” said Gerald truthfully. After all, he had simply bought a jade bracelet which cost seven thousand and five hundred dollars for Giya. It was nowhere near the absurd price of Yacob’s gift. Besides, if he really wanted to mock Yacob, it’d be easier for Gerald to just slap the boy in the face. However, Gerald didn’t want to get involved with him or Giya and her friends too much in the future so he abstained for now. Mila was sincere to him so he wanted to do the same. Therefore, there was no reason for him to compete with Yacob. Nothing good would ever come of it nor would he gain any

    “This jade bracelet… was originally my grandmother’s. Since I have nothing else to compensate Giya with, I’m giving this to her instead…” lied Gerald. “Oh my god! Gerald, don’t you know the value of this bracelet? Are you sure you aren’t going to regret it if you give it to Giya now? I’m telling you seriously that it’s still not too late for you to regret it now!” said Tammy as she felt the weight on her chest slowly lift. God d*mn! She was almost scared to death just now. If Gerald had actually bought the jade dragon bracelet that cost thirty-two thousand dollars, then he could possibly be a low key rich heir! Unlike most other girls, Tammy hadn’t felt any contempt toward Gerald. However, it would have been beyond surprising and unbelievable if a pauper like Gerald suddenly turned out to be a heir richer than all of them there could ever be. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. “I didn’t know the value of the dragon jade bracelet before this but I do now. I don’t regret anyt

    Giya ran after him again. “You know, it’s going to be difficult for you to notify me when you’re actually getting married. Why don’t we exchange contact information to ease that process?” “That… Well, alright. Let me add you on WeChat. I’ll definitely let you know when it happens!” Gerald didn’t know what else to say. He couldn’t just refuse and turn around to leave. He just wasn’t that kind of person. After all, Giya would definitely lose face if he had left without accepting her offer. So he simply went along and added Giya on his WeChat account. Of course, Gerald wasn’t that narcissistic to believe that such a beautiful goddess would ever like him. Even after adding her on WeChat, he felt that they wouldn’t be talking much with each other anyway. He tried his best not to think too much about it. Once the exchange was done, Giya took the bracelet with her as she walked upstairs again. At the time, several of the girls were still doubtful about Gerald’s claims. “Giya

    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.

    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.
