âWhat, itâs only been a few years, Gerald. Have you already forgotten about me?â said the girl as she removed her sunglasses. âYouâre Rae!â said Gerald, recognizing her immediately. After hearing him say that, her partner took his sunglasses off as well. Gerald immediately realized who he was after that. His name was Heath Seaver. His classmates liked calling him âtycoonâ since he definitely looked the part. He was actually quite rich back when they were still in school. However, he was also famously known for trying to gain the affection of up to ten girls back then, though he was rejected more than fifteen times. How was that possible? It was because some of the girls rejected him twice! The issue always boiled down to his face having too many pockmarks. Aside from that, he had suffered from a high fever once when he was young, so his reactions were always a bit slower compared to the others. When it came to bullying back then, the victims were always either Gerald or
âHere comes Xella!â said Rae as she and the others smiled toward Xella. âHave you waited for a long time, Gerald?â asked Xella, smiling as she looked at him. âNot at all!â replied Gerald. Xella was dressed charmingly that day. She was certainly the kind of woman who could bewitch others with a single glance. However, Gerald knew better and actively stopped himself from thinking unnecessary thoughts. âSpeaking of which, Xella, I looked at the group chat yesterday. The others were discussing how you had landed a great job. How did you manage to get into the Dream Investment Group? I heard that a billion dollars were required for the registered capital!â said Rae, a slight jealousy projected in her voice. Initially, Rae was considered much better compared to her other classmates in the group. Since she was now dating the tycoon whose family owned a few shops, she was considered quite well-to-do and she was proud of that. She had a great life as well. However, comparing h
Rae recognized the man and she bore a look of surprise on her face. Seeing that Rae and the tycoon were there, Waylon was surprised as well. He got out of his car and leaned against it with one hand in his pocket. He then smiled and said, âBought it about half a month ago. I finally found a chance to drive it today!â Waylon was another of Geraldâs old classmates. Back when they were still in school together, there were only two boys who were very rich and powerful. They still are today. One of them was Cameron, whose family was related to the health department. The other was none other than Waylon. Both Waylon and Cameron shared a good relationship back then. They enjoyed messing around during class. Since the two of them had wealth and power, they both lived good lives even after graduating from high school. However, Gerald was more interested in Waylonâs relationship with Xella. The two of them had never had a good relationship, even quarreling with each other at time
Once he had parked his car, Gerald entered the private room. Almost half of his classmates were already there. There were about twenty people and the atmosphere was quite lively. The dining table that they had booked was huge as well. Most of the students there only greeted Gerald casually before turning to look away and continuing talking among themselves. To them, Gerald was simply a poor loser so he was naturally easy to be ignored. Going back to Gerald, there was one thing that surprised him. Both Lilian and Sharon were nowhere to be seen. âBy the way, Waylon, why arenât Lilian and Sharon here? Didnât they say they would join us?â Similar to Gerald, some of the other classmates were also puzzled. Waylon simply smiled faintly. âThey wonât be joining us. Theyâre not the same as they used to be. Theyâve entered rich and powerful circles. Theyâre arguably the most powerful among us! Why would they ever attend such a small event such as this?â âOh my, is that really
Cameron smiled coldly as he said that. âWhat? Very funny, Cameron! As if Louie could ever be acquainted with Gerald!â âI know right? The difference between Louie and Geraldâs status is synonymous with comparing a planet with some dirt!â âYou can choose not to believe me, but Xella knows itâs true. She saw it too!â As he looked at Xella, she simply nodded in agreement. âWell, d*mn!â At that moment, several of the classmates began looking at Gerald in a slightly different light. However, there were also a few others who turned to look at Waylon. Everyone was aware of the incident where Waylon had severely beaten Gerald up back in high school. Gerald was somehow rich now, and he was even well acquainted with Louie who was known for having a good rapport with both good and bad guys. How would Waylon respond to that? What kind of face would he make? On Waylonâs face was a scornful and bitter smile. âSo what if he knows Louie? Also, Iâm assuming that most of you donât kno
âYeah, come on Xella, tell us. Whatâs wrong?â asked a few of the classmates curiously. Xella nodded before she began sharing an incident that had happened to her in great detail. Not too long after, Geraldâs curiosity was sated. It turned out that not long after she had been recruited by the company, her superior began constantly harassing her. The superior in question was a deputy manager of one of the departments. According to Xellaâs description, the deputy manager was a balding man who had lost all his hair around the crown of his head. He looked quite old and obscene in general. Initially, he hadnât dared to do much. He simply asked Xella out to have meals with him. After rejecting him several times, Xella eventually found it difficult to continue doing so. Hence, she finally decided to accept and have a meal with him one day. From that day onward, the man became more perverted and daring. He constantly called Xella to his office. At the start, he would only say im
After a while, Gerald stood up and went to the washroom. Not long after he had entered the gents, Xella stood up to head to the washroom herself. After washing his hands, Gerald bumped into Xella who had also left the bathroom at the same time. The meeting was awkward, to say the least. âSpeaking of which, I havenât had a chance to properly talk with you. Howâve you been recently?â said Xella with a bright smile as she tried to conceal her awkwardness. She knew how her relationship with Gerald was like in the past, and she was also very aware of the conflicts between Gerald and Waylon. However, now she had become quite close to Waylon. Even if he didnât say it, Gerald would definitely not feel alright with that. âNot bad!â said Gerald as he wiped his hands dry with some tissue paper. âI heard that you havenât found a job yet, is that true? Do you have any plans for the future?â asked Xella. âI plan to make a name for myself,â replied Gerald honestly. Xella frowned s
The roar had come from none other than Waylon himself who had just left the private room. Earlier, another girl had left for the washroom but as she was about to exit the private room, she saw a man blocking Xellaâs path. Once Waylon learned about the fact, he immediately got up and headed toward the washroom alongside a few others. âWhatâs this? A group of uncouth b*stards! Whoâre you yelling at?â Though perverted, Mr. Zabel was certainly no small fry. His expression was cold as he asked the question. âThat girlâs my classmate. Why are you blocking her path?â asked Waylon, unafraid. Xella was so frightened that she instinctively hid behind Waylon. âXella, Iâll go ahead and say this. The colleagues waiting for me this time around are no ordinary people. If you know whatâs best for yourself, follow me. Also, why donât you tell these b*stards who I am?â replied Mr. Zabel, his arms folded behind his back. âWaylon⊠His name is Charlie Zabel⊠And heâs the deputy manager of m
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, âW-what powerâŠ!â As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, âAttackâŠ!â And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire skyâŠ! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Darylâs devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! âNoâŠ!â 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⊠âDarling, itâs your brotherâs wedding day today⊠Shouldnât we head over earlier? Youâve been dolling yourself up for ages!â âFine, dad⊠Though, isnât Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brotherâs gone through so many hardsh
âDarylâs been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfatherâs 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!â âIn order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lordâs efforts, theyâve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?â explained Finnley. ââŠSo thatâs the truth⊠Then, howâs Mila?â asked Gerald. âSheâs fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!â replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear⊠Still, as it turned out, the Sun League werenât 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 didnât take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish powerâŠ! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sectâs master scoffed, âI 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 wonât save you this time!â Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, ââŠWho on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?â Laughing in response, the master then said, âOh, youâll 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 supremeâŠ!â Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but frown even more.
ââŠThis formation. It feels⊠familiar,â muttered Sanchez. âSame thought here. I think itâs the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!â replied Gerald. âAh, no wonder it felt so familiar⊠Though, wasnât this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?â 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 sectâs 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, âI read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Geraldâs question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating⊠and it wasnât 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, ââŠTheseâŠâ Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, ââŠI take it that the herbalist theyâre looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?â ââŠWell, itâs hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasnât right⊠Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?â muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. âI really canât sayâŠ! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!â replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. ââŠIs that the truth?â âI swear on my life!â exc
âFlaxen, you bloody traitorâŠ!â 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, âWho⊠Who the hell are you peopleâŠ?!ââYou donât need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,â scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.ââŠWho the hell do you think you are? What makes you think Iâll comply so easily?â 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 manâs arms!âIf you want your other limbs intact, donât make me repeat the question,â 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 Zemanâs books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, âSo, they want to ambush some herb lady⊠Is she the one weâre looking for?â 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, âI had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!â Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldnât 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 Darylâs hideout⊠Hopefully the Yinblood pelletâthat was now in his handsâwould aid with that effort⊠As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearlâs instructions. After all, heâd only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Geraldâs 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 couldnât help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that theyâd 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, âYouâre really something else, GeraldâŠ! 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 generalâs tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!â âOh, donât you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, Iâm sure youâll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if youâre already thinking about killing me t
