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.
Gerald was truly surprised when he saw Xavia working as a waitress in the villa.No wonder she had disappeared these days, it turned out that she had come here.Nevertheless, Gerald was happy for Xavia.How should he put it... Although Xavia remained hostile toward him, she had not fallen and had found a job after that incident, working hard to earn money.Compared with other consequences, Gerald preferred to see her like this.“Gerald, why are you here?! Is this a place where you can come and go freely? Get out now!” Xavia said coldly.“Hey, Xavia! Do you know this guy?”A few waitresses around Gerald’s age walked over and stood beside Xavia.They were in their senior year, similar to Xavia, and were about to embark on their internship. Hence, they wanted to work in the villa to earn some money.They heard that they would be able to meet many people with big names here, but they were all puzzled when they saw Gerald.This guy did not dress like those second-generation rich frat boys.
Now, she wanted to vent all her inner resentment toward him.You—Gerald was a nothing! What was there to be so proud of!“Hmph, you loser. Get out. If you don’t get out now, I will call the security guard!”The few girls spoke coldly. “This is not the place… Ah! Xavia, look! Mr. Bale is here!”They suddenly pointed at the gate excitedly while mocking Gerald.A luxury car stopped by the gate, and a handsome young man in a blue suit came down from the car.He walked in confidently with one hand in his pocket.“Mr. Bale!” Several female waitresses waved toward him happily.On the other hand, Xavia became very reserved and behaved like an elegant lady.“Xavia, you guys are busy…” Mr. Bale came over and smiled.“No, we are not busy, Mr. Bale. We are just stopping a loser from getting in just in case he disturbs your father and other people’s meeting inside!” She stood beside Bale as she spoke.As for Bale, he hugged Xavia’s waist lightly and looked at Gerald who was standing at the side.“W
“Are you crazy? How could the entire Mayberry Commercial Street be yours? Why don’t you go to heaven, then?”The girls were looking at Gerald as if they were looking at a fool.As for Bale, he was laughing so hard due to Gerald’s remarks.Mayberry Commercial Street? This guy said that it belonged to his family.Gerald smiled bitterly. Right at that moment, his cell phone rang.The call was from Zack.“Mr. Gerald, have you reached yet?”“Yes, Zack. I’m in the front hall,” Gerald said.“Ah! Okay, okay. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson from the Bureau of Education are with me. We are coming to meet you there right away! They have long wanted to see you after hearing that you are going to invest in some public welfare projects as well as commercial projects.”“Uh… alright!”Gerald had not expected the directors to come so soon, and he hung up the phone after he was done talking.On the other hand, Mr. Bale and the others were looking at Gerald in surprise.“This loser is acting as though he
Jane and the other experienced waiters had been busy during the dinner just now. Hence, she had just only arrived.Upon hearing that, Jane slapped Xavia’s face coldly.“Go and stand at the back right now!”Although it was an honor to be able to work in the villa, one must understand the rules while working here!Xavia was stunned by this slap.Really?!She only knew that she was not dreaming when she felt the pain.All of this was true!Gerald did not lie. He was indeed a rich second generation. Both Yuri and Mr. Bale were no match for him!He was the owner of the commercial street, which meant that he was the richest man in Mayberry City or even in the world.Xavia felt very hurt. Did that mean if she hadn’t broken up with Gerald, she would be a rich lady now?!She certainly would be since Gerald had loved her so much!“Mr. Gerald, after entering the office, I will introduce them to you one by one…”Zack Lyle made a gesture, and Gerald nodded his head.Then he glanced at the dumbfound
Gerald turned around and looked at Xavia indifferently. “Xavia, of course I have not forgotten the things that you said. Indeed, it was because of you that made me feel that there is hope in my life during that period. Did you know? I was willing to give you everything at that time. However, it was you who broke up with me. To be honest, I’m still hurting even till now. I just hope that you can always be well. It will be the same in the future. You should get on with your life!”It was no longer possible for him to get back together with Xavia after experiencing the things that had happened over the recent days!It was not perfunctory, and he meant it sincerely.Xavia finally calmed down after hearing these words, and her face grew very red.Once, there was a boy who loved her so much and was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Alas, she had wanted to seek comfort.Even now, Xavia did not dare to say that she used to love Gerald whole-heartedly.At that time, she had just wanted t
He had never expected Mr. Gerald, who was a top-class wealthy man, to be so down-to-earth.It was very different from what he imagined!Moreover, the latter had offered him a great help this time.For his part, Gerald knew that he was still not very sociable, but he was not in a hurry, and he knew to take his time.“Mr. Gerald!”Gerald was preparing to leave after the guests had left. He had an exam to attend tomorrow, so, he needed to go back and practice again.Jane was walking over with a blushing face at this time. She had just been slapped earlier, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her to face Gerald now.Gerald also felt sorry toward her.This beautiful senior had always been very fierce, even he had almost surrendered last time!“Yes? Do you need anything?” Gerald asked.“It’s like this. I don’t have any shifts in the afternoon. Hence, I’m going home now. Would you like me to drop you off at the university since we are heading in the same direction?”Jane purposely tried to g
Gerald glanced at Jane’s expression and realized that something was wrong.He then looked to the direction that Jane was looking at, and he was quite surprised.There were two men and one woman. One of the men seemed to be a high society person, and a Maserati was parked in front of him.He was currently talking to the other guy and the woman, and to Gerald’s surprise, he knew both the man and woman.It was Danny Xanders from the same class and Jacelyn Leigh, Alice Bradford’s roommate.Oh gosh! When had they become a couple?Gerald was surprised.Also, it seemed like Jane knew them too.The man suddenly saw them and quickly ran toward Jane’s car in excitement.“D*mn! Ah! Mr. Gerald, I’m not scolding you. I’m just scolding that guy—Luke Evans. I did not expect him to be here. He just won’t go away!” Jane was rather upset.Her plan to seduce Gerald had been going so well. Unfortunately, she just had to run into Luke at this moment.On the other hand, Gerald did get a rough understanding
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
