Chapter 1297
With that out of the way, Yume then slowly began sharing what she knew about the situation. As it turned out, there was already a scheme targeting Gerald from the very beginning. Under the orders of her family, Yume had two main objectives. The first was to locate the woman in white in the king of the ocean’s palace. As for the other, it was to capture Gerald in secret before bringing him back to the Gunters. It was the reason why she had pretended to be frailer than she actually was. By ‘getting injured’ she knew that she would eventually be able to gain Gerald’s pity. Even after she gained his pity, however, she was unable to make any moves on him. After all, she hadn’t expected to be that moved by Gerald’s actions. She simply couldn’t bring herself to do the deed. Eventually, both of them embarked for the king of the ocean’s palace together. Of course, the old woman that they had met was none other than Yume’s grandmother—and also the master of the Gunter family—Lady Gunter.

With how serious and fearful her voice was, Gerald could tell that Yume’s warning was the real deal. “…Still, why did the King of Judgement Portal even come over to seek out the Gunters? Could he actually have anticipated that I would come over?” asked Gerald rather doubtfully. “That could be one of the reasons, though I’m honestly not too sure… I’m aware of their other objective, though. From what I’ve heard, it seems that they’re planning to head to the Ancient Mountain in Ancient City! In case you didn’t know, strange incidents happen on that mountain every few years!” explained Yume. “What sort of strange incidents…?” asked Gerald curiously. “That I’m not too sure of,” replied Yume as she shook her head. Despite that, Gerald was slowly succeeding in piecing together more and more pieces of the puzzle. From what Gerald now knew, there were three powerful groups hunting him down. Even though he had already received the baptism of heaven, he knew that he still wasn’t compl

“That’s enough! Lock her up in her room, and be sure to guard her closely! From today onward, she’s prohibited from leaving her room!” shouted Yreth. Hearing that, a few guards ran over and instantly led Yume to her room, as per Lady Gunter’s orders. Now that her granddaughter had been taken care of, Yreth was confident that she would be able to gain what she wanted from Gerald. Gerald himself was now swiftly running away from the cave in the dark of night. After learning more about the three groups’ plans to capture him, he didn’t dare linger around for any more than he needed to. His current plan was to first find Chester then leave this place together with him. However, just as he was about to leave the suburbs—and re-enter the city area—Gerald suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from the surrounding forests. From how loud and swift the rustling was, one would normally assume that it was some kind of extremely fast animal. However, Gerald had a gut feeling that that was

There was no way in hell that Gerald was going to be able to dodge that attack. A split second later, Gerald found himself flying backward as every inch of his body throbbed in immense pain! Soaring on, Gerald could taste something sweet in his mouth before vomiting blood briefly after! Eventually falling to the ground, Gerald ended up rolling several times before eventually coming to a stop. If he had to describe what he was currently feeling, it almost seemed like all his internal organs had shifted from their initial positions from that one punch. Even so, this was no time for him to wallow in pain. Attempting to gather his inner strength, Gerald quickly realized that he couldn’t do so due to how terribly he had been injured! ‘Is this truly my end? Will I be defeated here in Qerton City? Jade pendant, if you’re there, please lend me your aid…!’ Though Gerald had hoped that the jade pendant would save his life since he was now in such critical condition—just like the previous

It was a little while later when a young woman—who looked to be around the age of nineteen—called out, “You actually found him, uncle!” The girl herself was standing by the door of a home that was located within a shantytown west of the city’s suburbs. From the looks of it, she appeared to have been waiting there for quite a while. As for the person she was speaking to, it was a middle-aged man who had just ridden his tricycle into the home’s compound. Behind the tricycle, lay a bloodied and unconscious youth. Regardless, she immediately got up to walk over to the man after greeting him. With the youth looking so battered up, any normal woman would’ve already covered her mouth and screamed by this point. This woman, however, seemed completely unfazed by him. In fact, she instantly began patting his unconscious face a few times before turning to look at the middle-aged man! “I have to say, this fellow here is quite fortunate! After all, he’s still breathing after suffering fro
Chapter 1302
After giving a bitter smile, he then quickly began reconnecting Gerald’s disjointed bones before swiftly and skilfully bandaging all his open wounds. “I’ll admit that I wasn’t really that interested in it in the past, but I’m intrigued now! After all, he truly is quite puzzling!” replied the woman. “Hah! The martial arts you’re interested in learning about isn’t something that ordinary warriors can achieve! The requirements to reach the Nebula realm are simply too harsh! Even possessing the right blood won’t grant you easy access into that realm! You should know by now that many of the families here have blood types different from typical people, and that’s because they’re part of secret societies. People from secret societies are reliant on their extraordinary physiques, and they’ll always be one step closer than others when it comes to reaching the limits of human beings. Even so, only those assiduous enough—from those families—are able to control their inner strength and potenti

“But it’s true, uncle! I’m not pulling your leg at all! Just take a look if you don’t believe me! I’m telling you this charming little lady’s eyes resemble yours a lot!” persisted the woman. As he watched her signal for him to take the photograph from her already outstretched hand, the old man simply looked at her for a while before giving in and taking it from her. The second he got a clearer look at the person in the photograph, he seemed to momentarily freeze in place. He was so shocked that he couldn’t even hold onto the photograph properly, resulting in it falling to the floor. If it wasn’t obvious enough, the girl in the photo was Queta. Seeing him trembling like that was a first for the woman. Adding that to the fact that his expression had changed so much upon looking at the photo, the woman couldn’t help but ask in a worried tone, “…Uncle? Is something the matter…?” Quickly picking the photograph up again, he then replied, “…I’m fine. Everything’s fine… Speaking of w

“He was saved in the nick of time by someone extremely strong! Had I been a move slower, I wouldn’t be alive now!” explained Hogan, feeling utterly humiliated. “And who exactly is the assailant?” asked Yreth as she frowned deeply. “Since I was too focused on evading his attack, I wasn’t able to see him properly!” “…Could it be that there are other powerful forces that are secretly helping Gerald…?” muttered Yreth to herself as she fell deep into thought. For a person to beat Hogan up that badly, they needed to at least possess the strength equivalent to the final stage of the Spirit Earth Realm. Even though she could deduce at least that much, Yreth simply wasn’t able to figure out what kind of force would even step forward to help Gerald. At that moment, she suddenly heard a voice saying, “Could it be that Gerald is the one causing you so much trouble, Lady Gunter?” Looking up, she watched as an extremely handsome youth entered through the door—leading outside—with both hi
