After they had chatted over the phone, Gerald suddenly remembered his dad’s advice to visit his comrade from the army in Serene County. He had been back for more than a week and he had long forgotten about it.Gerald had nothing else to do at present. He then bought some gifts and headed to the upper-class area of Serene County to visit Mr. Willie Jung.The relationship between their families, as mentioned earlier, had drifted apart quite a bit after several incidents that went on in the later stage.But his dad was a very sentimental man.He did not believe that it happened, but the reality remains. As a person, how could one have no humane feelings at all?Gerald remembered the cold treatment from the Jung Family when his dad brought him along to beg them so he could go to high school six years ago.Gerald understood his dad’s feelings.But this time round, he was alone, and he came here with a different identity!He wondered if he would face the same treatment as before…As
The girl stared at Gerald, her eyes filled with curiosity.To be honest, she was somewhat looking down at Gerald when she saw the ordinary clothes Gerald was wearing. His sense of fashion was a bit countryside-like.When they heard of her question.There was a minute of awkwardness between Willie and Leia.Especially Leia.It was just a second ago that Willie said he had an urgent matter to handle and he would be having a meeting soon. They were hoping Gerald would not stay for lunch.And then her daughter jumped out of nowhere and popped this question.This made things much more difficult for Willie and Leia.If only their daughter had come out a little later, Gerald would have left by now!“Oh, Leila, have you forgotten, he’s Uncle Dylan’s kid, didn’t you two meet when you were little?”Leia said with an awkward tone.“Ah I remember, he must be Gerald, right?”The girl replied.“You still remember me, I’m Gerald! It’s been years since I’ve seen you, and you’ve gotten muc
Douglas forced out a peal of laughter.“That doesn’t count!” At that moment, Leia smiled as she served the dishes in front of them. Then, she turned to Douglas, “This is Gerald, the boy whom Leila’s father had made a promise to while her dad was drunk. As you can see, Gerald is now well-groomed, and Leila is no match to him, don’t you think so too, Gerald?”Leia asked Gerald who was sitting at the very edge of the table.“Yes, yes!”Of course, Gerald had caught on what Leia’s words meant. He was also afraid that the crowd would draw the topic to himself, so he hurriedly nodded his head.This, however, made Douglas a little scruple.Honestly speaking, he had liked Leila for quite some time now, but he had not confessed his feelings to her. The two of them had always been in an ambiguous relationship.But then, Mrs. Jung said that the boy whom Leila was initially betrothed to was also here.Here comes the drama.Everyone else was also looking at both Douglas and Gerald.They we
Because of what had happened, they gave Gerald a good scolding.It made Gerald quite embarrassed.F*cking hell, it was Douglas who did not hold the glass properly, and they were all coming after him?But Gerald understood.Heh.It was down right obvious that the unfair treatment was because Douglas held some special status and Gerald was just a nobody.“It’s not Gerald’s fault, I was the one who didn’t hold the glass properly. By the way, Gerald, you’re not working yet, are you?” Douglas smiled as he asked Gerald.“No.” Gerald shook his head.“That’s not good, didn’t you find anyone to pull some strings for you? Why didn’t you find any?”Douglas looked surprised.“Connections are hard to maintain nowadays unless you’ve strong ones. Just like Leila’s current job, I wasted a huge deal of effort just to find it for her!”Willie said bluntly.He immediately disclosed that piece of information.“I’m good, thanks!” Gerald replied.“Hmm, I don’t think that will be good, let me
Finally, it was Gerald’s turn to get into the car.But there was no space.“Oh, f*ck! Just look. Both of our two cars are already full. We cannot possibly ask you to sit with the girls, right? It wouldn’t be convenient!”Douglas laughed and said after rolling down the car window.He had been deliberately mocking Gerald ever since he heard that he had a marriage contract with Leila and deliberately making things difficult for Gerald to embarrass him.Gerald also knew that the reason Douglas had invited him to the karaoke bar with them was probably for this very reason too.“What’s wrong with sitting next to a girl? I will move in a little. Gerald, come and sit next to me!”Cindy said as she waved at Gerald.Douglas felt a little unhappy at this, but he did not dare to say anything because Cindy was also a beautiful goddess too.“Thank you!”Gerald smiled and nodded slightly before he sat next to Cindy.Soon, everyone arrived at a room inside a karaoke bar.Douglas also invit
”What? He got beaten up?”“F*ck! He got into trouble!”The boys and girls in the room suddenly grew very nervous.Even Douglas became anxious.But he did not panic. He simply replied calmly, “Why are you so anxious? Come, let’s go out and take a look. I want to see who’s the prick that actually dares to touch my buddy!”Douglas then waved his hand and a crowd of boys and girls followed closely behind him.A few of the boys even grabbed a few bottles of beer with them. It seemed as though they were going to start a fight today!Gerald had already expected Yorick to get easily agitated.But he really did not expect him to get beaten up.Everyone had already headed out now. It would not be good for Gerald to continue sitting and drinking in the room by himself. Hence, he decided to just follow everyone out.Let’s talk about Yorick. A group of people were surrounding him in the center of the karaoke bar.He was curled up on the ground and blood was oozing out of his forehead.A
”Louie, who is this young brat? A friend of yours?” asked a man with a dragon tattoo.“I don’t know him, but f*ck! He actually knows who I am!” Louie replied with a laugh.“Douglas, who is he?” asked Leila as she quietly nudged Douglas’s arm.“He is Louie Lourdes. The mine in Serene County belongs to their family. He’s the richest man there, and their family is considered one of Mayberry City’s top-ranking families. His father is also the leader of Serene County’s underground triads. Big Dolph works for him. They are definitely a bunch of ruthless people.”“The few around him are also famous members of triads.”Since Douglas knew many people, he hurriedly explained the situation to them.After listening to his explanation, Leila and the others became even more afraid.They had heard of Louie’s name before.They knew about his great influence and power. In fact, how could they not panic when they heard Big Dolph’s name?“Wow! Buddy! What are you doing here with people holding
“Huh?”A moment of silence broke out in the room. Everyone was staring at the young man who just spoke.Give you face?Who are you? Why would I give you face?The person who just spoke was none other than Gerald.He had been outside the room, watching in excitement when he saw Douglas getting embarrassed and humiliated.It had nothing to do with him, after all.Now, Louie obviously had eyes for Leila, Cindy, and the rest of the girls. He didn’t have many reasons to worry about Leila.After all, even though Leila was somewhat polite to him on the surface, Gerald knew very well that this girl actually despised and looked down on him.There was no need for him to brag or show off in front of her.However, Cindy was also here, and Gerald would feel bad if he really did not care about her.She had treated him well since the beginning, never once despising him in any way. She was also the kind that held no preconceived judgments or prejudice in her heart.Perhaps, it might not
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
