At least forty handsome men and beautiful women were already there, waiting to be interviewed.

As he walked toward the interview hall, he passed by an office area.

More women were working there and every time they saw a handsome man step out of the elevator, they would gasp loudly and act as though they had never seen a man in their entire lives.

Gerald could tell that there was a noticeably softer gasp when he stepped out of the elevator compared to the man who stepped out next. Did he really lack that much charm?

He couldn’t help but curse slightly in his mind.

“Oh gosh, here comes the thirty-eighth person! They’re only hiring two people today so why did so many of us come for the interview?!”

The voice came from one of the girls who were counting the number of people they had to compete against. It was quite depressing, honestly.

“Hey, check out that guy. He came alone! Does he really think he’ll be able to get the job based on his criteria alone?”

“I know right? Asi

    “Sorry, I misheard you!” said Gerald as he smiled awkwardly. “Hah! Could it be that he thought that she was calling for Mr. Crawford?” said one of the interviewees as he cackled. “If we were any more gullible, we would’ve thought that he was the actual Mr. Crawford of Mayberry!” Everyone there then burst into laughter. Even the beautiful girl from before was smiling. Gerald remained silent, knowing that he had embarrassed himself. Jared then stood up and entered for his interview. A few moments later, he stepped out with a smug smile on his face. “Hey Jared, what did they ask during the interview? Care to spare us some tips?” Several people immediately gathered around him as soon as he stepped out. “Oh, nothing special, honestly. All I did was talk casually, and I even managed to make them laugh! They’ve even asked me when I’d be available for work! It really wasn’t anything challenging!” said Jared, his hands in his pocket. The other males stared at Jared in jealousy.

    When the door swung open, Gerald could finally get a good look at the manager. She was walking behind the assistant when Gerald exclaimed, “Ava Anderson? Is that really you?” Ava Anderson was Gerald’s classmate during junior high. She was the principal’s daughter and also one of the top students alongside Gerald and Xeno. All three of them had even participated in numerous competitions together. Though they were pretty close to each other back then, they no longer shared the same class when they entered senior high. The first few days upon entering senior high, Ava would still invite Gerald out for lunch since neither of them were familiar with their new classmates. After school, she would catch up with Gerald and they would talk about how their day had gone. After those few days, however, Ava started having lunch with her dorm mates instead. This led to them talking less and less and as time passed, they would eventually only get to meet each other once a week. Their distanc

    Gerald was from a rather poor family after all. Like many others, Ava was slowly swallowed by her own pride the older she got. And just like the others, her pride reached its peak during her university years. “Sure thing!” said Gerald as he nodded. He didn’t really mind, though he was slightly taken aback at how coldly Ava had just treated him. Immediately after completing the application process, Gerald and Bianca started working at their assigned positions. Gerald sat in a small corner in the office and started working immediately. His job was to manage and sort files. He was rather glad since it would help his investigation greatly. After a while, Gerald decided to head to the gents. After he was done, he was about to leave when he heard faint whispering coming from the ladies. “Come by the office to get an interview done. You’ll have to be quick though. I’ve saved a position for you, so you owe me one!” echoed the barely audible voice across the stalls. “What? No more p

    “Mr. Crawford, I’d just like to ask. You’ve mentioned that you’d like to provide dorms for our employees, right? I know you said you’d like to do this yourself, but I’d like to provide my assistance if you’re busy. I just came back to Serene County!” Zack said.“Don’t worry about it. I already have an area in mind. I’ll have you do the rest when I’ve bought it. I think you should focus on the jade incident.” Gerald replied reassuringly.“Okay then, Mr. Crawford. Oh, but one more thing, it’s rather personal, hehe. Your birthday is coming up. We’ve always been organizing a big party for you following our family tradition. So, where would you like it to be held?”“I’d rather celebrate my birthday back where I used to live. I don't think a party would be necessary. Let’s all just have a nice dinner together.” Gerald said as he mustered up a fake smile.Since young, Gerald was used to not celebrating his birthday. Back then, all he did was have a nice meal on his own or with the Winters

    “Oh, let’s just not mention them. Waylon seems to be occupied with family matters. And Xella, I gave her a rang, and she said she wasn’t feeling well, so she’s not coming too.”“Ah, then I guess we’ll see them next time. By the way, Morgana, you’ve never told us your secret; how are you progressing so much? You switched industries almost too quickly!” Sharon asked. Upon hearing this question, Howard’s expression turned awkward.Morgana coughed, visibly awkward as well, “It’s because of the help of Gerald. And well, Howard helped me out a lot too!” “Gerald?” Upon hearing his name, both Sharon and Lilian were startled. In reality, Sharon had been asking them about every single classmate, as if she was studying abroad and wanted to catch up with everyone, although she had only been in Mayberry this entire time. Both of the girls were dying to ask if Gerald was joining them, but they ended up asking about every other classmate but him. They couldn’t help it as Gerald was a touchy top

    Gerald was in a great rush. He knew that this should’ve been over and done with two days ago.However, due to that hiccup with Xeno, this dorm project was delayed. Since some of the areas were chosen explicitly by Gerald, he decided to pay a personal visit to the real estate center. Gerald entered the center and immediately approached the front counter. The moment the real estate agent noticed Gerald, her expression immediately darkened. She was filled with awkwardness and dejection.She had thought that Gerald was just another poor idiot without enough money to afford a property. Hence, when he had come by under the company of Leila Jung, she insisted that Gerald take up a loan. Her attitude towards Gerald was cold as well; she thought he wasn’t worth the effort since he didn’t seem to be the wealthy type.Then the very next day, he decided not to take up a loan. Instead, he wanted to buy the property with full payment. This would mean that the agent would have earned the l

    All of the employees at the front counter instantly stood up at attention and greeted her politely. “Ah, Mrs. Millers, welcome!” “Wow, Mrs. Millers, still as beautiful as always!” everyone chimed.Luna smiled brightly, saying, “Mrs. Millers, it was just this man over here, causing a nuisance. If my cousin hadn’t asked me to help him, I wouldn’t have even talked to him in the first place. So Mr. Millers, how many properties would you like to buy this time?” She turned to her husband and asked.Mr. Millers, an interior designer, was the type to buy many properties and give them a whole new look. These properties would then be rented out. Hence, he was one of the biggest customers of the company.“I’d just like to buy just one this time, but I need it done fast!” Mr. Millers said as he hugged his wife by the waist. The couple then shot Gerald a dirty look; it would seem that they have developed a sense of superiority. Everyone was flocking towards them but ignoring Gerald after

    “What?!” Everyone in the lobby, including Luna, was stunned. What followed after was a room full of laughter. Especially Luna and the Millers, they laughed so hard that tears were welling up in their eyes.“Hahaha, holy f*ck my dude, you can’t just go around bluffing like that!” Mr. Millers laughed, holding his abdomen.“Is he insane?” “Yeah, two whole buildings! I thought I f*cking misheard him, hahaha!” “Yo… do we need to call for security?” Even the employees at the front counter seemed to be running out of breath from all the laughing. Suddenly, the manager walked into the lobby with a stern expression. “What happened? Where is everyone’s sense of professionalism? Just look at all of you! Ridiculous!”Luna bit her lip to keep her composure. “No… No sir, this man over here, Gerald Crawford, he… he said he wanted two of our buildings! Hahaha!” Tears streamed down her bright red cheeks.The manager seemed to be more professional than these agents. He took a deep brea

    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. 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!
