“Classic French? What is even going on anymore?!” Everyone was utterly stunned. Seeing that a top socialite in Yanken was behaving so respectfully toward Gerald, Bea was extremely happy. “Regardless, it’s truly been an honor to meet you here today, Mr. Gerald! I’ll be personally bearing all the expenses of anything you order here tonight!” said Delilah as she politely stretched her hand out toward Gerald. In her eyes, the value of befriending such a powerful figure as Gerald certainly outweighed the cost of one night’s bill. In response, Gerald reached out as well and shook Delilah’s hand before saying, “It’s a pleasure, Miss Delilah!” After Delilah finally left, the room was greeted by an almost pressuring silence. Yura in particular, felt like he had just received the most massive slap in his life. He had been completely embarrassed in front of all the others. “…C-could I… Try one of your cigarettes, Gerald?” asked one of the cousins there as he looked at Gerald. After se
“S-something terrible has happened! A few drunkards have just dragged Bea into their room after insisting that she have a drink with them!” shouted Xoey. Upon hearing that, Gerald immediately dashed out of the room. Right outside, he bumped into the other female cousins who had earlier gone to the ladies together. All of them looked equally terrified. “Where’s Bea?” demanded Gerald. “S-she’s been dragged into Room 103!” replied one of the girls as she quivered. Getting the answer he needed, Gerald ran there as fast as he could. As for the rest of the boys in the room, all of them simply stood in place. While they knew that they didn’t need to be afraid since they were all members of the Yaleman family, directly confronting the drunkards would definitely lead to some of them getting beaten up! With that in mind, many of them began making phone calls instead. Giya herself followed Gerald out with a worried expression on her face. “W-what should we do now…?” whispered the
“Why don’t you come over here?!”It was at this moment that one of Brandon’s rough and stalwart men tried to take advantage of Gerald’s conversation and grab Giya over to their side.However, someone caught hold of his wrist as soon as he reached towards her.The crisp sound of his arm bones cracking followed.The man’s wrist was forcibly bent to an extremely jarring angle.Argh!The person started squealing miserably like a pig that was about to get slaughtered.After that, Gerald grabbed the man’s hair with all of his strength before his head was sent slamming towards the marble wine table in front of them.Boom!With a loud crashing sound, the marble wine table was smashed into pieces with the poor man’s head.Blood poured profusely from his skull as the man convulsed on the floor. “What?!”Suddenly, Brandon awakened from his drunken stupor.Much to his surprise, this young brat was actually stronger than he anticipated. After all, that goon of his was one of his stron
Paranoid, Brandon thought that it was better safe than sorry as he called up Jeremy.Upon hearing him answer his call, Brandon explained his little incident with Gerald to Jeremy in a brief manner.After that, Brandon’s men saw their boss’ face turning paler and paler!“You are not worthy enough to know who he is! However, if you are concerned about survival, I’d advise you to chop off the hands of anyone who touched Miss Bea just now! Perhaps you will be given an opportunity to live then!”After Jeremy said his last sentence in a sympathetic tone, he hung up the phone immediately.“Brandon, what’s going on? What did Jeremy say?”Brandon’s subordinates couldn’t resist the urge to ask when they saw the horrified expression on his face.“Damn it! That scumbag Yura really got me into big trouble this time!”After that, Brandon smashed his cell phone on the ground out of anger.On the other end of this whole incident, Gerald held Bea’s hand as he led her out swiftly. Bea went back
“The Northbay territorial waters is a very large area to cover. It has already been so long. Mila, perhaps she…”After listening to Gerald’s account of everything that had happened, Giya was both visibly shocked and also worried.When Giya saw the dark expression on Gerald’s face, she refrained from saying anything unnecessary.There was no explanation for the emotions Giya was feeling right now.Although she had been Mila’s rival before this, Giya had to admit that she really was a good girl and she really loved Gerald very much.Surprisingly, Giya felt upset to hear that something horrible had happened to Mila.But aside from these sad emotions, Giya also felt a hint of excitement.She knew that it was not right of her to have any other ideas at a time like this. However, it was impossible for her to resist such an urge.Gerald did not stay with Giya for a long time.Gerald appeared to be rather dejected after they started speaking about Mila.He returned to his room after
Bea’s aunts started ridiculing her and sneering at her.Bea’s mother, on the other hand, stood at the side of the room, not daring to speak up for her own daughter. She simply wore an ugly expression on her face.She had already told Bea many times not to come here with Gerald. However, it was clear that Bea was defying her order as Gerald was standing right there!“Third aunt, sixth aunt, he is not my boyfriend. He’s actually my cousin, Gerald!” Bea replied.“What? Ger…Gerald?!”“It’s him!”Silence descended upon the room as soon as those words came out from her mouth.Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Gerald.Although they knew that Yulia had given birth to a pair of children, Jessica and Gerald, after she left, this was the first time that they had seen either one of them in two whole decades!“How blessed and fortunate that woman is to have such a handsome son!” One of the women sneered slightly.“Cousin, let me introduce them to you. This is…”Bea started introducing he
“You have misunderstood me, grandma. I have no intentions of taking any of the Yaleman family’s assets at all!”Gerald replied with a subtle frown.“Hmph! Ever since your mother, that ungrateful daughter of mine left the Yaleman family, all of you no longer have anything to do with the Yaleman family! I have already made it official that I have severed all ties with that girl! Before you proceed, understand what has already happened.” The old lady sneered.Gerald did not say anything at all.Seeing how tense the situation had become, the fourth uncle cleared his throat before speaking up.“Ahem, mom, look. No matter what happened between you and her, Gerald is still your grandson. I for one, think it’s a good thing for the kid to still have some sense of filial piety. This is the first time that he has come back home so I’d advise you to stop scaring him away! Gerald, come here! Since all of the elders of the family are all gathered here, why don’t you come and serve them some t
“Aren’t you really good at talking? Why don’t you show me how capable you are then? If you can’t even contribute to the family, then both you and your mother will only be able to get a small share of the family fortune!”Rose’s mouth was destructive, just like a cannon.Her fourth and fifth brother’s families used to have a pretty close relationship with Yulia back then.Yulia’s relationship with Rose, on the other hand, had always been strained.Back when Rose was working for the company, Yulia discovered that she had been misappropriating the company’s funds. This led to Yulia personally reporting her findings of Rose to Lady Yaleman, who then proceeded to slap the culprit right in front of everybody during one of their family meetings.Rose and Yulia had been at odds with one another since that very day.She hated Yulia and she eventually began to hate her fourth and fifth brother’s families too.Yuma and Rose were the ones who were in control of most of the company’s resou
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
