Cameron smiled coldly as he said that. “What? Very funny, Cameron! As if Louie could ever be acquainted with Gerald!” “I know right? The difference between Louie and Gerald’s status is synonymous with comparing a planet with some dirt!” “You can choose not to believe me, but Xella knows it’s true. She saw it too!” As he looked at Xella, she simply nodded in agreement. “Well, d*mn!” 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 Waylon’s face was a scornful and bitter smile. “So what if he knows Louie? Also, I’m assuming that most of you don’t kno
“Yeah, come on Xella, tell us. What’s wrong?” 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, Gerald’s 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 Xella’s 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 hadn’t 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. “Speaking of which, I haven’t had a chance to properly talk with you. How’ve you been recently?” 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 didn’t say it, Gerald would definitely not feel alright with that. “Not bad!” said Gerald as he wiped his hands dry with some tissue paper. “I heard that you haven’t found a job yet, is that true? Do you have any plans for the future?” asked Xella. “I plan to make a name for myself,” 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 Xella’s path. Once Waylon learned about the fact, he immediately got up and headed toward the washroom alongside a few others. “What’s this? A group of uncouth b*stards! Who’re you yelling at?” Though perverted, Mr. Zabel was certainly no small fry. His expression was cold as he asked the question. “That girl’s my classmate. Why are you blocking her path?” asked Waylon, unafraid. Xella was so frightened that she instinctively hid behind Waylon. “Xella, I’ll go ahead and say this. The colleagues waiting for me this time around are no ordinary people. If you know what’s best for yourself, follow me. Also, why don’t you tell these b*stards who I am?” replied Mr. Zabel, his arms folded behind his back. “Waylon… His name is Charlie Zabel… And he’s the deputy manager of m
Due to his father’s power and influence, Waylon had always done as he pleased, acting smugly and arrogantly in front of all his classmates. It had never occurred to him that Charlie’s subordinate could act even fiercer. They had even severely beaten him up. At that moment, Waylon was a wreck both physically and emotionally. “He needs medical attention immediately!” shouted Morgana before taking her phone out and calling for an ambulance. The ambulance soon arrived and since Morgana herself was a clinician, she entered the ambulance as well to help bandage his wounds. She left for the hospital together with Waylon. “Waylon was beaten up and now he’s being sent to the hospital… What should we do?” “Let’s just leave for now… What if those madmen come back with reinforcements?” “You’re right! They don’t seem like ordinary people…” The classmates continued discussing the situation among themselves, all of them quite indecisive on whether pride or safety was more important.
“F*ck! A Mercedes-Benz G-Class is worth more than three hundred thousand dollars!” shouted a classmate in a worried voice. Though the two cars had collided, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class had suffered much less compared to Cameron’s own car. However, if compensation was required, Cameron knew he had to fork out at least a hundred thousand dollars. He quivered slightly in fear. “I’m so sorry Cameron! If it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have hit that car!” wailed Xella as another burden was added to her heart. She sighed internally while holding back her tears. ‘If it wasn’t for me, none of these incidents would have happened today…’ ‘Waylon’s been beaten up, and now Cameron’s just crashed into another car when he was just trying to send me to the hospital to visit Waylon! What can we even do now?’ Xella’s mind was filled with negativity and it only made her feel more flustered and agitated than she already was. The others were starting to feel afraid as well. They began discussing
Whatever the case was, Cameron’s car certainly wasn’t going to be driving anyone anywhere with that damaged hood. Everything that had gone wrong had stemmed from Xella, but there really was no use crying over spilled milk. Besides, Gerald didn’t think that it was appropriate to just leave them like that. They were friends in the past after all. “Come on, get into my car. I’ll give you a ride to the hospital!” said Gerald calmly. This new mature and calm Gerald felt quite strange to the others. Thinking back, no wonder he seemed so calm and casual earlier when he was talking to them at the bus stop. They honestly hadn’t paid much attention to his demeanor then since they thought he was still a loser. However, now when they paid more attention to the way he spoke, they found that his tone sounded cold and composed as opposed to the old Gerald they knew. It was somewhat awe worthy. “Gerald! Is… Is this your car?” asked Rae, her eyes wide open. “Yep. It’s still pretty new
Waylon was definitely asking Jaxon for help. However, before they could hear about the specifics, Waylon had already hung up. This was because he had noticed Xella and the rest entering the room. “I’m so sorry Waylon! It’s all my fault!” said Xella apologetically. “What are you talking about Xella? I was just caught by surprise when they started beating us up without even making the situation clear first! Don’t worry, my dad’s subordinates are dealing with them right now! My dad’s heard about your troubles as well!” said Waylon in a fierce voice. Xella was just about to say something when her phone began ringing. Taking in a deep breath, she answered it. It was only a brief talk and she hung up not long after. “…It’s all over now! The call was from my president and he informed me that I was fired!” said Xella weakly. She knew that she had just lost her chance of having a great career. Since she was now fired, she would no longer be able to enter any excellent subsidiary
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
