“Negative, you just stay here this time. I’ll be heading there with Yann!” replied Gerald as he looked at the trio. “But… Mr. Crawford-” “Look, I know you want to come with me to see and learn more of the world, Rey, but not this time. After all, none of us know what dangers await us at Mount Dakriont. There are simply too many risks involved! With that in mind, please just stay here and train with Miss Zorn for the moment!” replied Gerald before Rey could even finish his sentence. In the end, Rey was still an ordinary person, which meant that his capabilities were vastly different compared to Gerald’s. With that in mind, Gerald had only said all that earlier since he truly was worried for Rey’s sake. Besides, staying here to train with Juno would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Rey. By taking the time to properly train and learn about being a cultivator, Rey would definitely be able to solve problems together with Gerald—instead of simply being a sidekick—in the future. Re

Regardless, since he made sure to pack early, Gerald was able to turn in earlier that night. After all, the more rest he got, the better shape he would be once he got up… It was early morning by the time he finally got up again, and after a simple breakfast, Gerald then patted his backpack before driving off to the highway’s entrance… It was nine sharp when Gerald finally met up with Yann, Tye, and the others. Just as they were about to greet each other, a loud ‘bump’ could suddenly be heard coming from Gerald’s car trunk, followed by a loud, “F*ck!” Raising a slight brow, Gerald—along with several others—immediately went over to investigate… And upon opening the trunk, Gerald was shocked to see Rey lying inside, his arms wrapped around a luggage bag! “…What are you doing here, Rey?” asked the rightfully stunned Gerald. Chuckling awkwardly in response, Rey then sheepishly grinned as he said, “I… well, I just really wanted to come along! So please let me come with you…!” “Wh

Naturally, that statement made both Juno and Rey rather surprised. Even so, Juno was quick to recover and simply went with it. Rey himself hadn’t expected Gerald to take his side instead of ratting him out. With that, after Gerald ended the call, Rey couldn’t help but look at Gerald for a while before muttering, “…Um… Mr. Crawford-” “There’s no need to say anything. You’re already here anyway so let’s just make the most of it. Regardless, please hold your tongue as much as possible once we get there. And please listen to my orders if I give any to you!” replied Gerald, not even waiting for Rey’s sentence to finish. “G-got it, Mr. Crawford! Don’t worry, I’ll be extremely obedient!” declared Rey as he nodded rapidly. At that moment, Yann—who was still driving—couldn’t help but smile as he said, “You know, you have a rather fine disciple, Gerald. After all, he’s worried enough about you to sneak over!” “Hah! He’s just someone who makes me worry all the time!” scowled Gerald in

Chapter 1894

Whatever the case was, after parking the car, Gerald and the others immediately headed to the ticket counter to officially enter Mount Dakriont. While a single ticket cost sixty dollars, Tye was the one paying, so Gerald and his party didn’t have to worry about the entry fee. Upon entering, rather than anxiously getting straight to business, the first thing the group did was to find a spot to relax in instead. After eating some of the rations they brought along—to replenish their energy—Tye cleared his throat before saying, “Alright, listen up, everyone. We’ll be staying the night here, but we set off at the break of dawn, understand?” Hearing that, everyone simply nodded in agreement. After all, it wouldn’t be long before night came, and traveling in darkness was never a good idea. Aside from obviously being more dangerous, one could easily lose their bearings as well. With that in mind, it was objectively a better choice to set off once morning came. With that out of the way,

“Just let the boy be, Gerald. I, for one, appreciate his liveliness since all there is out here is miles upon miles of boring scenic views…” said Yann. Upon hearing that, Gerald could only sigh in agreement. After all, it was estimated that at least two hours were needed before the group would be able to cover five miles and finally arrive at the Officer Viewing Deck. With that in mind, Gerald had to admit that Rey’s childishness would—at the very least—keep the trek amusing… Regardless, it was almost noon by the time the group arrived at the Officer Viewing Deck. The Officer Viewing Deck was located quite high on Mount Dakriont, and it allegedly got its name due to the fact that an officer used to come up here to enjoy the view, many centuries ago. While that was the formal name of the viewing deck, it was also colloquially known as the cloud viewing platform. As the name suggested, all sorts of clouds could be seen from up here as well. Whatever the case was, upon arriving, T

“…Hey, come over! Hurry and have a look at all this!” called out one of Tye’s men who had earlier scouted ahead. Upon hearing that, everyone followed the source of the voice… and soon enough, they all widened their eyes in utter amazement. A little deeper into the cave, a bright light of sorts could be seen glimmering beautifully… What more, all sorts of natural jades and jadeites could be seen growing all over the place! “Holy cr*p…” muttered Rey as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He had never seen such pure and natural-looking jades and jadeites in his life! The sentiment was, of course, shared by everyone else there. To think that such a wondrous place existed here of all places… How truly magical! Quickly snapping out of it, everyone immediately began looking around the mystifying cave… Shortly after, Gerald was just in time to notice that one of Tye’s men had taken out a hammer! Knowing full well where this was going, Gerald immediately yelled, “Stop!” Hearing Ger

After a slight pause, Gerald then looked at Tye before replying, “…Fine. Regardless, if you wish to leave this place safely, I implore you to tell your subordinates to be more obedient. No more touching things at random! Trigger one more trap and we’ll probably end up stuck in here forever!” Knowing that he had made himself extremely clear this time, Gerald then turned around without saying another word. Whether or not Tye decided to listen was up to him… Momentarily staring at Gerald’s back—as the youth walked off to find another exit—, Tye couldn’t help but glare at the man who had caused all this. Had he not been so greedy, none of them would be trapped here! The man himself quickly lowered his head to avert his gaze, not even daring to look Tye in the eye… Huffing in response, Tye then looked at all his subordinates before declaring, “Alright, listen up! If any of you even dare to touch anything at random again, I’ll personally chop your hands off! Got that?” With how ste

Regardless, after hearing what Gerald had to say, both Rey and Yann instantly drew in cold breaths. “…A-are you saying that we’ll end up like them, Mr. Crawford…? Are we going to die here…?” muttered Rey, looking incredibly anxious now. “Hey now, don’t go jinxing us again! Have a bit more faith in Gerald! I’m sure he’ll think of a way to get us out of here!” retorted Yann. “I wonder about that… Based on what we’ve gathered after looking around, it pains me to say that there’s a pretty high chance that we really will die trapped here!” replied Gerald. Hearing that, Rey and Yann’s eyes instantly widened. While it was expected for Rey to say things like that, when Gerald said it, it was simply depressing… Regardless, after saying that, Gerald then continued walking deeper into the cave. After all, with how massive the cave was, there was still a chance that there existed another exit at the end… Naturally, Rey and Yann followed him, and it wasn’t too long after when the trio b

Chapter 1899

It was about ten minutes later when Gerald came across a pond in the deepest part of the cave… There appeared to be a stone pier of sorts in the middle of the body of water, and on that pier, lay a jade board made of jadeite… Raising a slight brow, Gerald then watched as a drop of water fell from a stalactite… and right onto the jade board, producing a sound that felt oddly euphoric… Then another… and another…. With how echoey the cave’s walls were, it was no wonder why they were able to hear the sound from so far away… Squinting his eyes at the jade board, Gerald had a feeling that destroying it would only trigger another trap. With that in mind, after some thought, he eventually settled on taking out a shirt from his backpack. Following that, he carefully aimed at the jade board… and with a toss, Gerald’s shirt completely draped over it! While he couldn’t safely destroy it, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t stop the dripping sounds… or at least, that was what he hoped. St

Chapter 1900

Turning to look at Gerald in surprise, Yann couldn’t help but ask, “Is… something wrong, Gerald?” “Yeah, Mr. Crawford! Shouldn’t we hurry and leave already?” added Rey in a confused tone. “Hush. Hand me a small knife, Rey!” ordered Gerald. Obeying Gerald’s words, Rey retrieved a small knife from his belt before handing it to Gerald… The small knife now in his hand, Gerald then walked toward a crystal-clear, emerald-green jade—the size of a chicken egg—that was embedded into the wall… Following that, Rey and Yann widened their eyes as they watched Gerald skillfully used the knife to pry the jade off the wall! “…H-huh? Didn’t you say that we shouldn’t touch any of the jades in here, Mr. Crawford?!” exclaimed the surprised Rey. After plopping the jade into his pocket, Gerald simply replied, “True, but bear in mind that there usually aren’t any traps near an exit!” With that, Gerald continued walking out of the cave, causing the two stunned men to quickly snap out of it bef
