Therefore, most of the people inside the room stood up as they decided to walk out of the room.“What do you guys think you are doing?! No matter what it is, all of you are still young masters with a very influential existence. Why are all of you such cowards?!”Mr. Sime snorted as he mocked them.As soon as he spoke up, no one dared to leave the room anymore.“What are you afraid of anyway? I am here!”“Raion, what exactly is happening?!”Mr. Sime asked as he looked at the bodyguard.However, at this time, the bodyguard suddenly started trembling uncontrollably all over his body before he fell to the ground and started foaming at his mouth. He died not too long after that!“Ahhh!”The young woman in the room screamed out in horror at this moment.Mr. Sime’s face also turned a little pale.“Who? Who did this?! Men, come! Men, come!” He yelled angrily.“You must be very courageous! You guys are just a small and mediocre family, but you are so discontented, and you actually d
The darkness quickly spread across the entire private room, deeply scaring all of the other rich heirs to the point of screaming. After all, anyone caught in a similar situation would surely be filled with desperation. “I-I’m sorry, Gerald…! It’s entirely my fault…!” whimpered Jasmine. Pulling her to stand behind him, Gerald simply consoled, “It’s fine, just stay behind me!” Soon enough, the darkness dispersed, leaving three orbs of light in its place... Everyone then watched as lights began increasing in size till they eventually formed human silhouettes. By the time the lights dimmed down, two men and a woman stood face to face with Gerald. One of the men gave off a particularly imposing aura, and his entire body was plated with black armor. The other man, on the other hand, had a tailcoat draped around his slim figure. As for the sharp-chinned woman who had an extremely graceful-looking figure, a strange charm seemed to exude from every orifice of her body. Adding that t
“There’s no need to say anything more to him, Young Master Sime. Allow me to capture and break all his limbs first before we continue our little chat!” said Hogan as his imposing aura seemed to amplify by the second! Lifting his steel claws, he then dashed toward Gerald incredibly quickly, creating a force so massive that it caused all the surrounding furniture to be smashed into pieces! It wasn’t hard to determine that Hogan was now much stronger compared to when he had first encountered Gerald! As Hogan’s palm came inches before Gerald’s body, an explosive sound was heard…! However, Gerald was still standing. In fact, Hogan hadn’t even been able to touch him! Now completely paralyzed in place, the deeply shocked Hogan found himself saying, “…What?” It was obvious that Hogan was being held down by an immense force, and this caused the woman in black and the man with the tailcoat’s eyelids to begin twitching rapidly. “While I wasn’t a match for you at the time, you’re but a
Meanwhile, the man in the tailcoat was still soaring in the sky, his heart beating wildly as he thought, ‘That was way too terrifying…! I need to get as far away as possible from him…! I truly hadn’t expected that guy’s training to be even more vicious than my master’s! Thank god I retreated quickly!’ The second his thought ended, however, he immediately felt himself being tugged! Turning to look at what was holding him back, he was shocked to find out that not only had a lasso of searing light caught onto him—preventing him from going any further—, but a shockwave with immense power was now shooting toward him at high speed! His eyes now fully widened, the man immediately began screaming as he desperately tried to free himself. Unfortunately, that wasn’t about to happen, and with an explosive sound, the shockwave shot through his body, leaving only fine dust behind…! It was then when Gerald finally reopened his eyes back at the house. Upon closing his golden eye, everything else
The voice belonged to Peter, and he was currently being hung up at the square as several Gunters—who had been listening to his scowls—glared at him. Unable to take any more humiliation, one of the Gunter family’s disciples icily sneered, “To think you’d still say such cr*p when you’re in such a state… I’ve decided! I’m breaking all your teeth right this instant! Let’s see you try to be arrogant then!” Just as the disciple was about to make his move, however, he froze in place when a sudden, distinct voice shouted, “Stop right there!” “Lady Gunter!” declared the other disciples—who were present at the square—extremely respectfully. “Step down!” ordered Yreth who was now walking toward Peter with a group of people behind her. Arms against her back, Yreth looked at Peter with a smile as she said, “You know, I heard that a mysterious and extremely exceptional man made his appearance a few years back… He was said to have exceptional archery skills, and was a top-notch marksman… Wh
“…A secret?” asked Peter. “Indeed. I didn’t know about it either in the beginning… Before moving any further, however, I’ll have you know that for the longest time, I was only aware of the existence of your family’s most valuable treasure, that being the picture of the sun. Not only is it capable of foretelling things, but it’s also rich with training techniques! It truly is a treasure among treasures! Regardless, what I’m assuming is that he must have learned something from it.” “After all, after we beat him up, we were surprised to find out that he managed to escape right under our noses! Though I contacted several champions and their families to hunt him down, we never found him again. It was about twenty years later when the Crawford family suddenly reappeared, and when it did, it shockingly already owned over half the wealth on the planet! The Crawfords controlled the economic lifeline of the world!” “Even so, a lot of us doubted that the Crawfords who reappeared were establ
After realizing that his father’s corpse wasn’t among the other dead bodies, Peter was finally able to see the bigger picture. However, something still puzzled him. Why was his father being this cruel? What had prompted him to do all that? “Well? I wonder what you’re feeling now that you finally know what kind of person your father is actually like! Though from your expression, I’m assuming that you had already felt that something was amiss some time ago, correct? Hahaha!” said Yreth with a laugh. “…I admit that I was aware that something was amiss. Even so, there’s something else I don’t quite get. The Gunters themselves have plotted many schemes. What were all those for? Also, let’s not forget that several innocents have ended up dying as your grand scheme played out! How could you have just played around with and manipulated the lives of so many people?” retorted Peter with strong indignation. After all, he, too, was one of the grand scheme’s victims. “Besides, about the par
“…And where exactly is this other Crawford family…? Also, you mentioned something about other forces earlier… What forces are they?” asked Peter. As was expected, this incident was far from simple… “Nobody knows where the other Crawfords are. I simply know that my family would’ve been exterminated ages ago had the King of Judgment Portal not stepped in. I do know, however, that the other Crawfords are exceedingly strong… Even beyond your wildest imagination…! And as for the forces… Tell me, who do you think stands at the peak of the world?” replied Yreth as she turned to look at Peter. “I have no idea. However, I am certain that such a position isn’t reserved for a cryptic family like yours! I was fortunate enough to meet several powerful people in the world, and I’m sure there are many others out there who are equally as powerful! Regardless, the ones I’ve come across are undoubtedly stronger than those from cryptic families like yours. Hell, they’re even more powerful than those
