Gerald withdrew his hand and said, “It’s alright!”

To be honest, although Gerald was a little annoyed when he had been belittled by Kyle Smith, there was nothing he could do about it.

Why?

Because Gerald felt as though the whole world had stopped when he mistook him as Mila’s boyfriend.

And when he knew that he wasn’t, the whirlwind of emotions had made him unable to get angry with him anymore.

“Oh right, Gerald!”

Mila’s beautiful sparkling eyes looked at Gerald with concern. “You looked pale just now. What’s wrong?”

Although Mila had been busy introducing her cousin to Gerald, she was still observant enough to sense the changes in his mood.

“Nothing, really. It’s just that I thought he was your boyfriend!” Gerald replied with a wry smile.

“Pfft! What?! You thought my cousin was my boyfriend? Haha!” Mila laughed out loud.

“How is that even possible! Actually, I have never gotten into any romantic relationships. Maybe I have high standards when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.”

    “We’re visiting her later. Tag along if you like.” Whitney hung up the call right after.Gerald was only starting to reveal his financial capacity. Until now, Whitney had no idea how much he had in his hand.For this very reason, she was less domineering toward Gerald now when talking to him.However, she still looked down upon him even if he had won a two million lottery.He was just a nouveau riche. How could he be compared out-and-out with a second-generation rich like Victor?Gerald decided not to go with them. Besides, Victor had already said that his car was fully occupied.Hence, Whitney just gave Gerald the address, and Gerald took a cab there after buying some fruits and gifts.Gerald had been acquainted with Mila for almost two weeks now, and they seemed to be getting along very well. To him, she was like Naomi, one of the close female friends he had.Not to mention, he had feelings toward her.Therefore, he had to help her out when her family was in trouble.The cab stopped

    “Shut up, Kyle!” Mila threw the cushion in her hands at Kyle angrily.“Nonsense! Yes, Gerald won a lottery. But, are you jealous of him?”Hearing Kyle’s mocking words toward Gerald, Mila felt sick. He even said that Gerald had given his ex-girlfriend condoms. That was just too disgusting. He was clearly insulting Gerald, wasn’t he?!Mila had always thought of Gerald as her good friend.“What do you mean, Sister? Are you saying that I’m talking nonsense?”Kyle mocked him further as he laughed. “If you don’t believe in what I said, you can ask Victor Wright, the vice president of the student union, who is also his coursemate. Even Whitney knows about this. He really did run an errand to get his ex-girlfriend some condoms for the mere sake of ten dollars!”Mila frowned, and the way Mila’s parents and her friends looked at him changed totally.“He seemed to be a decent man. I didn’t expect him to be so pathetic for the sake of money!”“Disgusting!”They all murmured, judging him.Gerald to

    “Quinton, how did you get to know each other? Look at you. You are carrying so many things! Come and sit here.”Mila’s mother was Helen Smith, and she was the vice president of their company.Hence, she had a wide social network.Although Quinton had been involved in an ugly scandal days ago for his immoral actions, Mrs. Smith was well aware of the potential of his family. Besides, it was acceptable for a young man to misconduct sometimes in his life.More importantly, the Ziegler family had expanded its business in Mayberry Commercial Street. They would rise to power soon.If her company could receive help from the Ziegler family this time, wouldn’t it mean that their crisis would be solved?Upon hearing Mrs. Smith’s questions, Quinton gave Gerald a dirty look and said, “Of course I know him! He is a notorious character in the university!”Thinking of how Gerald was present during his last few embarrassing moments, Quinton’s hatred toward Gerald began to grow.After making those icy r

    Kyle smirked.“Huh. Is he thinking of taking out all the money he won? I bet it wouldn’t be enough.”“It's my first time seeing this kind of person!”Listening to their mockery, Gerald had the urge to reveal his identity.However, he calmed down quickly, because once he did that, he could never live the same life again. He would never be able to finish his studies peacefully, and he would be forced to leave.This was because his father would not let him be alone in the university.If so, his life would be disrupted completely, and Gerald did not want that to happen.He just wanted to improve himself at his own pace, quietly. He was satisfied as long as he was not short of money.Gerald sighed. Then, he said, “Right, I have a class later. I shall take my leave, then.”Gerald stood up and left.“Gerald!” Mila caught up with him.She felt dreadful, especially when she, at one point, looked down on Gerald when he talked about his past.She truly regretted it.‘Why didn’t I think from Geral

    “Gerald, here!”By the time Gerald had reached the dormitory where Xavia lived, it was already crowded with both male and female students.The police were there. Cassandra was also there, as was the representative of Yuri’s class.It was hectic.Among the crowd, Gerald saw Harper waving at him, so he walked toward him.Then, he saw Xavia and Yuri.They must have had a fierce fight judging from the slap mark on Xavia’s cheek and her messy hair. She was shouting and crying at the same time.As for Yuri, he was being held by the police, handcuffed. His face was so pale, he had to be very scared.One of the police was interviewing the class representatives.“What happened?” Gerald asked.“What happened!? D*mn! Gerald, you are curious about how Yuri became rich since that day, aren’t you? Guess what? He’s a fearless lad, I tell you. He first borrowed a hundred thousand dollars from an online loan company for seven days. After seven days, because of the high interest rates, he had to pay bac

    ‘What now? What should I do?!’One hundred thousand dollars was not a small amount! She could not earn that much even if she sold her own body.Xavia knelt on the ground and broke into tears.Meanwhile, Gerald had gone back to the dormitory in confusion. He wanted to take a nap, but he couldn’t.He felt pain when he thought of the slap mark on Xavia’s face.If Xavia had stayed with him like before, she would have been able to get anything she wanted.If she was bullied, of course he would take revenge for her.But ironically, she had betrayed him.She had lied to him. She told him that she needed some time to clear her mind, but she had started dating another man in just three days.Gerald never mentioned this, but he would never forget it.Lying on the bed, reminiscing about the good things about Xavia as well as the way she had ridiculed him, half an hour passed without him noticing.Suddenly, Gerald’s phone rang again.It was from Mila.“Where are you, Gerald?

    It was such a huge street and yet, it was nothing in the eyes of the young Mr. Crawford.How powerful was this Crawford family?!Whitney and the rest of the girls fell for Mr. Crawford immediately. How they wished to become his girlfriend.“Still, aren’t you exaggerating this?”“If it is such an influential family, we should have seen it on the Internet!”The girls doubted it.Quinton laughed. “Those that you see online are not the most powerful ones. Think about it. What kind of an existence would a company be when all the big companies you know online are supported by it? Many of the large industries are supported by such a powerful company, and such companies are run by families of whom we don’t usually hear their names!”“Hmm, it makes sense.”The girls were now convinced.Ring!The phone rang.Mrs. Smith picked up the phone. She was shocked when she saw where the call was from. “It’s from the Bureau of Commerce!”Helen was getting anxious.Were they going to seize their assets? It

    He was rather annoyed by his innocence back then.Now that his peculiar parenting was over and he had spent so much money, he was still being scolded by his sister!Gerald felt that his life was quite dramatic, almost as if it was a dream.“Hey, I’ve checked the transactions of your card. You have spent all the money! Haha, great job! I heard from Zack that you have improved a lot. You even learned to use our company funds to invest in a small company! I did a background check on the company you helped. Did you fall in love with that girl? Are you getting me a sister-in-law?” Jessica asked playfully.It was true that Gerald had been keeping in touch with Mila over these past few days and they were indeed growing fond of each other. Mila chatted with him about almost everything, and he was very happy to chat about anything with her.However, the closer they got, the more Gerald became reluctant to take the first step in pursuing her.He did not expect his sister to find out about this.

    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!
