Chapter 1791

Upon looking at the message, Gerald couldn’t help but momentarily pause. “Water that comes crashing down from three thousand feet… Could that be hinting at some kind of waterfall…?” After thinking about it for a short while, Gerald instantly stepped out of his office—making sure to properly lock the door behind him—before driving off to the newest waterfall in the Leicom Continent. All of this… it couldn’t just be pure coincidence. The clues that the other party provided most probably involved incidents that were happening around Gerald, and if Gerald’s thought process was correct, then the old poem was probably hinting that there was a hostage in that area… Whatever the case was, after about half an hour, Gerald arrived at Durduff Mountain where the newest waterfall was located. The area itself had the largest mountain range in all of the Leicom Continent, leading many tourists to have their vacations here. Regardless, upon entering the mountain, Gerald blended in with the

Gerald had deliberately avoided her question so that she wouldn’t ask too much. Getting the hint, the woman then nodded before quickly leaving the cave. Seeing that she was now gone, Gerald quickly opened the letter and began reading through it… ‘Congratulations on finding the first hostage, Mr. Crawford! Now hurry along and go find where the next hostage is! There’s no money hidden here!’ After reading through the letter, Gerald couldn’t help but frown. Another ancient poem…? The culprit really enjoyed using ancient poems as clues, didn’t he? Regardless, the hint this time was pretty straightforward. Since the poem included the word ‘money’, it was only fair to assume that the next hostage could be found in a bank. However… which bank? There were way too many banks in the Leicom Continent for Gerald to find the right one in such a short amount of time. Realizing that he wasn’t going to get anything done just by speculating here alone, Gerald immediately left the area, in

While they were on their way there, Rey couldn’t help but ask, “So… mind filling me in, Mr. Crawford…?” Turning to look at Rey for a moment, Gerald then replied, “Remember that call from yesterday?” Nodding in response, Rey then said, “I do. That person said he wanted to play a game with you… Don’t tell me it’s already started?” “It has. That person has challenged me to rescue six hostages, and I’ve already rescued one this morning. We’re currently on our way to rescue the second one!” explained Gerald. Hearing that, Rey found himself momentarily speechless. No wonder Gerald hadn’t been around this morning… He had already saved someone while they were still barely awake! Disregarding how stunned Rey looked, Gerald then added, “Either way, that phrase I told you to investigate earlier, ‘There’s no money being hidden here,’ directly relates to the second hostage’s location, which is why we’re currently targeting the bank near the tax building!” Just as Gerald completed his ex

About half an hour later, people sent by the Grand Council could be seen rushing over alongside a few of the bank’s staff, all of them appearing anxious. After all, it was definitely flabbergasting to learn that a person was locked inside an ATM machine. After about another ten minutes of prying the ATM open, they finally managed to reveal what was inside… Just as Gerald and Rey had deduced, there truly was a woman trapped inside! To make matters even more shocking, she was one of the bank’s staff! Regardless, once the woman was hurriedly sent to the hospital, those sent over by the Grand Council began inspecting the scene… From what they could gather, the lid—at the back of the machine—had been deliberately welded tightly by the perpetrator… As they continued investigating, one of the supervisors retrieved a purple envelope from within the machine as he asked, “…Hmm? A letter?” Hearing that, Gerald immediately took it from him. The supervisor himself made no effort to stop

Hearing that, Gerald and Rey dashed out of the hospital, hoping to catch up with the woman. As they rushed out, the duo thankfully stopped just in time to avoid getting run over by a speeding black car! “Where the hell did you learn to drive, b*stard?!” scowled Rey as he glared while pointing at the black car. Gerald, on the other hand, was much more interested in the purple letter that had fluttered out of the car and was now lying on the ground. Quickly opening it, Gerald then read the letter… ‘The second game has officially begun!’ “That utter b*stard…!” growled Gerald as he crumpled the letter up, knowing full well that he had been a step too late. Since the envelope had come from that black car, the car was undoubtedly the key! Still, now wasn’t the time to feel sorry for himself. With that, Gerald began running toward their car while shouting, “Hurry, Rey! We have to pursue them!” Once both of them were inside, Gerald stepped on the accelerator, sending the car lu

Soon enough, the duo arrived at what appeared to be a suspended platform. Looking up and pointing toward it, Gerald then shouted, “Up there!” As Rey turned to look up, he was surprised to see the hair of a woman hanging from the side of the platform! It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the woman lying up there was none other than the bank staff member they had previously saved from the ATM machine! To be captured again immediately after being released from the hospital… What an unfortunate woman… At that moment, both of them noticed that a figure had been staring intently at them from some rockery formations nearby. Seeing that, Gerald ordered, “…Go save that woman, Rey. I’m hunting that person down!” Following that, Gerald bolted straight for the figure, believing that he was definitely the culprit behind all this! As he swiftly gained on the now fleeing man, the frustrated Gerald couldn’t help but yell, “Stop running, you coward!” To Gerald’s surprise, the man

“…Oh? Do you really think you’re capable of getting rid of me?” retorted Gerald as he looked at Yorrek with a disdainful expression. Forget getting rid of him, Yorrek was probably incapable of even harming him! “While it’s true that I can’t personally kill you, I can still get rid of others!” sneered Yorrek before immediately dashing toward Gerald! Seeing that, Gerald quickly drew the Astrabyss Sword, ready to slash Yorrek when he came within range! However, in the very next second, Yorrek seemed to just disappear into thin air! Despite Gerald having his sword at the ready, Yorrek appeared to have successfully escaped… While it was certainly disappointing, Gerald was sure that the game between him and Yorrek wasn’t over yet. In fact, this meeting probably symbolized the true start of the games… Fast forward to sometime later, Rey—who appeared quite flustered—couldn’t help but look at Gerald, his tone brimming with admiration as he said, “You’re… really amazing, you know tha

Seeing that Gerald had hit the brakes, Rey took the chance to take a wooden box out from his backpack. The box itself had a painting resembling a spider on the lid… Following that, Rey slowly opened the wooden box… Revealing a single black bead. “The item they were after… is this bead!” said Rey as he handed the box to Gerald. Taking the box, Gerald then stared at the black bead… and barely a second later, the bead momentarily glowed red! Seeing that, both of them exchanged glances with each other. It appeared that both of them had witnessed the same thing. “…Where on earth did you even get this thing?” asked Gerald after a short pause. “Well, remember when we went for a trip to the countryside? I found it by a small river and simply felt compelled to pick it up… Later on, Tyson and the others realized that I had the box, and they instantly wanted me to hand it to them though I refused…” replied Rey. “I see… Have any strange incidents happened to you after you took the

“Copy that!” replied both of them. Since they were going into the adventure mostly blind, all three of them had no idea what troubles to even expect. With that in mind, all they could do was prepare different tactics and equipment in hopes that it would allow them to be ready enough to deal with the situations they eventually came across. Still, with Gerald there, Juno and Rey undoubtedly felt much more assured. After all, the duo knew that Gerald would never let anything happen to them. Regardless, all three of them turned in early that night. After all, they were embarking on a new adventure the next day, so they needed to be well-rested and be in good shape. At eight the next morning, the trio took one more look at Gerald’s map—that Old Flint had given them—before getting into their car and driving for Sunset Village… From their starting point, it would take approximately two days before they would arrive there. With that in mind, they would have to spend two whole days o

Chapter 1800

“…I see… Even so, it won’t be easy to get that token… After all, the book also states that many others have attempted to obtain the token of Demonic Blood. In the end, not only did all of them fail, but they all had to pay heavy prices as well…” replied Juno. “I’m aware. Still, I believe that we’ll ultimately be able to obtain the token!” declared Gerald confidently. After all, though the others failed to get the token, Gerald didn’t necessarily have to fail as well. Gerald was sure that with how times had changed, the capabilities of his generation should be much harder for the Demonic Blood Clan to deal with. What more, with how powerful he currently was, he truly believed that he had the right to obtain the token of Demonic Blood… Regardless, after driving for two days, the trio finally arrived at Sunset Village… Upon arriving, Gerald told Juno to look for a hotel for them to stay the night. They would continue the second stage of their journey the next day… Following his
